Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of advanced laser systems for the dental industry. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells laser systems that provide significant benefits for dental practitioners and their patients. The Company’s proprietary systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and other dental specialists to perform a broad range of minimally invasive dental procedures, including cosmetic, restorative, and complex surgical applications. The Company’s laser systems are designed to provide clinically superior results for many types of dental procedures compared to those achieved with drills, scalpels, and other conventional instruments. Potential patient benefits include less pain, fewer shots, faster healing, decreased fear and anxiety, and fewer appointments. Potential practitioner benefits include improved patient care and the ability to perform a higher volume and wider variety of procedures and generate more patient referrals. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIOLASE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements, and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and the elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the footnotes, presentations, and disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in BIOLASE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices), and warrant numbers contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto reflect the one-for-twenty-five (1:25) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effectuated by the Company on April 28, 2022. Liquidity and Management’s Plans The Company incurred losses from operations and used cash in operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. The Company’s recurring losses, level of cash used in operations, and potential need for additional capital, along with uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of approximately $20.1 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2022 consisted of approximately $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.8 million of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $35.5 million, $30.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.2 million of net accounts receivable. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 2021 was primarily due to cash used in operating activities of $21.2 million, $3.3 million cash used in investing activities, and a $1.0 million payment on the SWK Loan (as defined below), partially offset by cash provided by the $5.6 million of net proceeds from the June 2022 direct offering and private placement. The $21.2 million of net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss of $18.8 million and net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $6.5 million. On June 27, 2022, BIOLASE entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited institutional investors, pursuant to which BIOLASE agreed to issue, (i) in a registered direct offering, 678,745 shares of BIOLASE common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 726,660 shares of BIOLASE common stock, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase 1,405,405 shares of BIOLASE common stock. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the transactions of approximately $6.5 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other transaction expenses payable by the Company. Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it, demands for working capital, manufacturing capacity, and any acquisitions that the Company may pursue. From time to time, the Company could be required, or may otherwise attempt, to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully enter into any such equity or debt financings in the future or that the required capital would be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any such financing activity would not be dilutive to its’ stockholders. COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States reacted to the pandemic by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures included dental office closures worldwide, in large part, for all but emergency procedures. As these quarantines and restrictions began to be lifted in 2021, the Company's sales began to return to pre-pandemic levels. However, there are still uncertainties regarding the ongoing and future effects of COVID-19, and there is no assurance that the Company's sales will not be further impacted in 2022 or at any time thereafter. Membership Interest Purchase Agreement On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Med-Fiber LLC ("Med-Fiber") and Alexei Tchapyjnikov, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Med-Fiber on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price equal to $1,320,000, plus, subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones, additional earn-out consideration in an aggregate amount of up to $880,000. Med-Fiber was engaged in the business of manufacturing and supplying infrared transmitting fiber optics for laser power delivery applications and activities related thereto. The purchase was accounted for as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar assets. The $2,220,000 is included as a component of property, plant, and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. Reverse Stock Split At the 2022 annual meeting of BIOLASE stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"), BIOLASE stockholders approved an amendment to BIOLASE’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to effect a reverse stock split of BIOLASE common stock, at a ratio ranging from one-for-two (1:2) to one-for-twenty-five (1:25), with the final ratio to be determined by the Board. Immediately after the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Board approved a one-for-twenty-five (1:25) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of BIOLASE common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On April 28, 2022, BIOLASE filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on April 28, 2022. The amendment did not change the number of authorized shares of BIOLASE common stock. Cyber Incident In December 2021, the Company experienced a cybersecurity attack that caused a brief network disruption and impacted certain systems. Upon detection, the Company took immediate steps to address the incident, engaged third-party experts, and notified law enforcement. The Company has taken actions to strengthen its existing systems and implement additional prevention measures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess as needed. All liabilities were fully insured, and as of December 31, 2021 the Company recorded an accrued liability and an insurance receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million. In March 2022 the Company received the cash reimbursement from its insurance provider.
