Overview

IsoPlexis Corporation is a company empowering labs to leverage the cells and
proteome changing the course of human health. Our systems uniquely identify a
comprehensive range of multifunctional single cells, i.e. the superhero cells in
the human body. These cells enable researchers to understand and predict disease
progression, treatment resistance and therapeutic efficacy to advance all of
human health. We are a life sciences company building solutions to accelerate
the development of curative medicines and personalized therapeutics. Our
award-winning single-cell proteomics systems reveal unique biological activity
in small subsets of cells, allowing researchers to connect more directly to in
vivo biology and develop more precise and personalized therapies.

We are enabling deeper access to in vivo biology and driving durable and
potentially transformational research on disease in a new era of advanced
medicine. We believe our platform is the first to employ both proteomics and
single cell biology in an effort to fully characterize and link cellular
function to patient outcomes by revealing treatment response and disease
progression. Our single cell proteomics platform, which includes instruments,
chip consumables and software, provides an end-to-end solution to reveal a more
complete view of protein function at an individual cellular level. Since our
commercial launch in June 2018, our platform has been adopted by the top 15
global biopharmaceutical companies by revenue and approximately three quarters
of the comprehensive cancer centers in the United States to help develop more
durable therapeutics, overcome therapeutic resistance, and predict patient
responses for advanced immunotherapies, cell therapies, gene therapies,
vaccines, and regenerative medicines. Our initial focus has been on developing
applications of our platform for cancer immunology and cell and gene therapy. We
are now expanding our capabilities to include applications for infectious
diseases, inflammatory conditions, and neurological diseases.

We currently market and sell our technology with an in-house commercial team in
the United States, China and Europe. We are also utilizing our distribution
network to market and sell across multiple countries, including Australia,
Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, Japan,
Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. We
intend to further expand our international presence by growing our distribution
networks in Brazil, India, Mexico and beyond.

We manufacture our instruments and chip consumables in our manufacturing
facilities in Branford, Connecticut and do not outsource any of our production
manufacturing to third party contract manufacturers. Certain of our suppliers of
components and materials are single source suppliers and we do not have supply
agreements with certain suppliers of these critical components and materials
beyond purchase orders. As part of our overall risk management strategy, we
continue to evaluate and identify alternative suppliers for each of our
components and materials.

Since our inception in March 2013, we have devoted substantially all of our
resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising
capital, conducting research and development activities, and filing patent
applications. Prior to the completion of our IPO, we financed our operations
primarily through the private placement of our securities, the incurrence of
indebtedness and, to a lesser extent, grant income and revenue derived from
sales of our instruments and chip consumables. As of June 30, 2022, our
principal source of liquidity was cash, which totaled $71.6 million.

We completed our first sale of our systems in June 2018 and have generally
experienced significant revenue growth in recent periods. Revenue was $4.0
million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as
compared to $4.3 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2021. Nevertheless, we have incurred
                                       21

recurring losses since inception. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2022, our net losses were $25.6 million and $54.3 million as compared to $20.6
million and $36.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As
of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $188.3 million. We expect to
continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable
future in connection with ongoing development and business expansion activities,
particularly as we continue to:

•expand our research and development activities;

•obtain, maintain and expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•market and sell new and existing products and services; and

•attract, hire and maintain qualified personnel to support our expanding business efforts.

Furthermore, we will incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, compliance, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.



As a result of these anticipated expenditures, we will need substantial
additional financing to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth
strategy. Until such time as we can generate positive cash flows from
operations, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination
of equity offerings, debt financings, sales of products and services to our
customers and, to a lesser extent, grant income. We may be unable to raise
additional funds when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to
raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial
condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to
generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance



We believe that our financial performance has been, and in the foreseeable
future will continue to be, primarily driven by the following factors. While
each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they
also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to
pursue our growth strategy and improve our results of operations. Our ability to
successfully address the factors below is subject to various risks and
uncertainties, including those factors set forth in the section titled "Risk
Factors" included in our 2021 10-K.

New Customer Adoption of Our Platform



Our financial performance has been, and in the foreseeable future will continue
to be, driven by our ability to increase the adoption of our platform and the
installed base of our instruments. We plan to drive new customer adoption
through a direct sales and marketing organization in the United States, China
and parts of Europe and third party distributors in Europe, North America, the
Middle East and Asia-Pacific. As of June 30, 2022, we market and sell our
technology with an in-house commercial team of approximately 140 team members
and also utilize our distribution network to market and sell across multiple
countries. Our headcount was reduced from 210 commercial team members as of
March 31, 2022 to 140 as of June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of our company
reorganization and reduction in force (RIF), discussed below.

Recurring Revenues from Sales of our Chip Consumables



Our IsoCode chip consumables represent a source of recurring revenue from
customers using our platform across a wide range of applications. Our
instruments and consumables are designed to work together exclusively. As we
expand our installed base of instruments, we expect consumable revenues to
increase on an absolute basis and become an increasingly important contributor
to our overall revenues.

Adoption of Our Platform Across Existing Customers' Organizations

There is an opportunity to grow our installed base and expand the number of instruments within organizations that are already utilizing our platform to advance their research and therapeutic development by their purchasing of additional instruments to support multiple locations or to increase capacity.

Adoption of Our Platform for New Applications



We founded our company to help solve critical challenges to accelerating
advanced medicines and since our inception, we have developed multiple
applications spanning cancer immunology, cell and gene therapy, infectious
diseases, inflammatory conditions, and neurological diseases. As we continue to
deploy our platform, we intend to concurrently expand the breadth of
applications for our technologies to encourage increased use of our platform
across our addressable
                                       22

markets. We expect our investments in these efforts to increase as we develop and market new applications, including a diagnostic application.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue



Revenue consists of sales of instruments and consumables in addition to service
revenue. Our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was
$4.0 million and $8.9 million and $4.3 million and $7.5 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect that our revenue will be less than
our expenses for the foreseeable future and that we will experience losses as we
continue to expand our business.

Cost of Product and Service Revenue



The Company's cost of product revenue primarily consists of manufacturing
related costs incurred in the production process, including personnel and
related costs, costs of components and materials, labor and overhead, packaging
and delivery costs and allocated costs for facilities and information
technology. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of personnel and related
costs of service and warranty costs to support our customers.

Company re-organization and reduction in force (RIF)



On April 11, 2022, the Company completed a re-organization of the Commercial
team and company-wide RIF (Reduction in Force) which reduced total head count
company-wide from approximately 500 as of March 31, 2022 to approximately 380 as
of June 30, 2022. This action resulted in one-time non-recurring restructuring
expenses of $3.7 million which were primarily associated with severance,
benefits, and outplacement services.

While the RIF was executed on April 11, 2022, we have continued to pursue
further efficiencies and expect to achieve even lower operating expenses across
multiple areas of our business, including but not limited to further savings in
salaries and salary-related expenses, consultants and other professional
services, internal material usage and licenses fees, in the second half of 2022
as seek to implement an accelerated path towards profitability. While we expect
operating expenses to be lower in the short-term, over the longer-term operating
expenses will go up as revenue increases, to support a larger installed
instrument base and higher consumables sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include:

•costs to obtain licenses to intellectual property and related future payments should certain success, development and regulatory milestones be achieved;

•employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense;

•costs of purchasing lab supplies and non-capital equipment used in our research and development activities;

•consulting and professional fees related to research and development activities; and



•facility costs, depreciation, and other expenses, which include direct and
allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance, and other
supplies.

We expense research and development costs as incurred. Research and development activities are central to our business model.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of our current or future research and development efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses



General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related
expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, for
personnel in executive, finance, business development, facility and
administrative functions. Other significant costs include facility costs not
otherwise included in research and development expenses, legal fees relating to
patent and corporate matters and fees for accounting, tax and consulting
services.
                                       23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the
long term to support continued expansion of our commercial, development and
operating activities. These increases will likely include increased costs
related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants,
lawyers and accountants, among other expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses



Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation related expenses,
including salaries, bonuses, benefits, non-cash stock-based compensation, for
sales and marketing personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, consulting
and subcontractor fees, sales commissions, recruiting fees, and various other
selling expenses. We anticipate that our sales and marketing expenses will
increase in the long term as we pursue growth and as we identify and expand into
new markets, increase our product offerings, and expand our install base.

Grant Income



We are engaged in various Small Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") grants
with the federal government to help fund the costs of certain research and
development activities. We believe that we have complied with all contractual
requirements of the SBIR grants through the date of the financial statements. We
do not currently expect future grant income to be a material source of funding
for the Company.

Research and Development State Tax Credits



Research and development ("R&D") tax credits exchanged for cash pursuant to the
Connecticut R&D Tax Credit Exchange Program, which permits qualified small
businesses engaged in R&D activities within Connecticut to exchange their unused
R&D tax credits for a cash amount equal to 65% of the value of exchanged
credits, are recorded as a receivable and other income in the year the R&D tax
credits relate to, as it is reasonably assured that the R&D tax credits will be
received, based upon our history of filing for and receiving the tax credits.
R&D tax credits receivable where cash is expected to be received by us more than
one year after the balance sheet date are classified as noncurrent in the
consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Adjustment for Warrants and Loan Commitments



Warrants and loan commitments are freestanding financial instruments that
qualify as liabilities and assets, respectively, required to be recorded at
their estimated fair value at the inception date and remeasured at each reported
balance sheet date thereafter until settlement, with gains and losses arising
from changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations during each
period. Our preferred share warrants were converted to common share warrants
upon our IPO and were reclassified from liabilities to equity for the year ended
December 31, 2021.

Revenue

Total revenue decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This consisted primarily of a
decrease of $0.8 million from sales of instruments, partially offset by an
increase of $0.5 million for service revenue. Consumables revenue was flat.

The decrease in instruments revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was
driven by a decrease in unit sales outside of North America and average sales
price attributable to a difference in product mix between IsoLights and
IsoSparks. Service revenue was up primarily due to additional collaboration
revenue and an increase in service contracts compared to the prior period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 52% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 53% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Operating Expenses



Operating expenses increased by $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This included $3.6
million of one-time restructuring charges associated with the re-organization of
the sales and marketing teams, manufacturing operations and research and
development. These costs consisted of severance, benefits, and outplacement
services provided as part of the Company's reduction in force. Total operating

Research and development expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 28%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021, primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses of $1.2
million from hiring approximately 20 new employees year over year, a $0.2
million increase in professional fees, a $0.8 million increase in depreciation
and amortization expense related to patent expense and an increase in other
expenses of $0.5 million, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in lab
materials, a decrease of $0.2 million in recruiting expenses, and a decrease in
supplies expense of $0.8 million.

General and Administrative Expenses



General and administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 63%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021, primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses of $2.1
million for additional personnel to support organizational growth, an increase
of $0.1 million of professional fees related to process enhancements, an
increase of $0.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, an increase
of $0.4 million in software and networking expenses to support a larger
organization, and an increase of $0.2 million in various other expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses



Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $2.7 million, or 27%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to decreases in compensation related expenses of $0.4 million, a
decrease in professional fees of $1.3 million related to the reduced usage of
consultants, a decrease in recruiting expenses of $0.7 million, a decrease in
supplies expense of $0.6 million, partially offset by an increase in other
expense of $0.3 million. Overall, the decrease was driven by the elimination of
consultants, and a decreased use of supplies and materials.

Interest expense



As a result of the Credit Agreement we entered into on December 30, 2020, we had
$45.9 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and we recognized
$1.2 million in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022. We
recognized $0.7 million in interest expense for the three months ended June 30,
2021.

Revenue

Total revenue increased $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. This consisted primarily of an increase of $0.1 million from sales of instruments and $0.6 million from consumables and an increase of $0.6 million in service revenue.



The increase in instruments revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was
driven by an increase in unit sales and slightly offset by a decrease in average
selling price due to product mix of IsoLights and IsoSparks. The increase in
consumable revenue in 2022 was driven by an increase in the number of units at
customer locations.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 52% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 52% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Research and development expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 55%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses of $3.4 million from
hiring approximately 20 new employees year over year, a $0.3 million increase in
professional fees related to new product development and cost reduction
projects, an increase of $0.4 million in lab materials, an increase of $0.2
million in prototyping for next generation product development, an increase of
$0.8 million in other expenses primarily related to depreciation and
amortization expense, and $0.7 million in other expenses, partially offset by a
decrease of $0.2 million in recruiting expenses and a decrease of $0.6 million
in supplies expense.

General and Administrative Expenses



General and administrative expenses increased by $10.4 million, or 108%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses of $5.5 million for
additional personnel to support organizational growth, an increase of $1.0
million of professional fees related organizational process improvements, an
increase of $0.4 million in office related expenses and an increase of $3.6
million in various other expenses, including increase of $1.0 million of
technology costs and $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Sales and Marketing Expenses



Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 14%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses of $2.9 million for
additional personnel added in the first quarter of 2022 and an increase various
other office and selling expenses of $0.7 million, partially offset by a
decrease in recruiting expenses of $1.1 million, Overall, the increase was
driven by the carryover of head count from 2021 into the first quarter of 2022.

Change in fair value of warrants and loan commitments

As a result of changes in fair value, we recognized $0.3 million change in fair value adjustment of warrants and loan commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense



As a result of the Credit Agreement we entered into on December 30, 2020, we had
$45.9 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and we recognized
$2.2 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We
recognized $1.5 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



At June 30, 2022, we had $71.6 million in cash. Cash as of June 30, 2022
decreased by $55.0 million compared to December 31, 2021, primarily due to the
factors described under the heading "-Cash Flows" below. Our primary source of
liquidity, other than cash on hand, has been cash flows from issuances of common
stock in our IPO, issuances of preferred stock, debt financings and, to a lesser
extent, grant income.

Cash Flows

Comparisons of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:




(in thousands)                            2022           2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities                     (64,268)       (33,861)
Investing activities                      (5,779)       (22,110)

Net change in cash                     $ (54,958)     $ (37,720)


Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022
primarily consisted of net loss of $54.3 million, partially offset by net
non-cash adjustments of $5.9 million, plus net changes in operating assets and
liabilities of $15.9 million, including a $14.8 million inventory outflow. The
primary non-cash adjustments to net income included share-based compensation of
$2.3 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.9 million and
amortization of debt discount of $0.7 million. Cash flow impact from changes in
net operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by an increase in
inventories and partially offset by increases in accounts payable and a decrease
in other assets and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021
primarily consisted of net loss of $36.1 million, partially offset by net
non-cash adjustments of $5.6 million, plus net changes in operating assets and
liabilities of $3.3 million. The primary non-cash adjustments to net income were
change in fair value of warrants and loan commitment of $4.0 million and
depreciation and amortization costs of $0.8 million. Cash flow impacts from
changes in net operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by
increases in inventories, accounts receivable and prepaid expense and other
current assets, partially offset by increases in accrued liabilities and
accounts payable.

Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5.8 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2022. We purchased $5.5 million of property and equipment. We
paid $0.3 million related to patents acquired and patent costs that were
capitalized.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $22.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2021. We purchased $2.0 million of property and equipment. We
paid $20.1 million related to patents acquired and patent costs that were
capitalized.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We drew $15.0 million from our Tranche C and D term loans.



Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.3 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2021. We raised cash through the issuance of Series D redeemable
convertible preferred stock, with net proceeds of $10.0 million.

Funding Requirements



We expect to continue to generate operating losses in connection with our
ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our research and development
efforts and expand our business efforts. Furthermore, we have incurred and will
continue to incur additional costs as a result of being a public company.
Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional funding in connection with our
continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on
attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research
and development programs or future commercialization efforts.

At the time of issuance of our unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we concluded that there was
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year
from the
                                       29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
issuance of such unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. However,
we believe that, based on our current business plan, together with our existing
cash as of June 30, 2022, and anticipated amendment with our lender as to the
current revenue covenant, we will be able to fund our operating expenses and
capital expenditure requirements into mid-2024.

We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on assumptions
that may prove to be incorrect, and we may use all of our available capital
resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with our research and development efforts, we are unable to estimate
the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•future research and development efforts;

•the need to service and refinance our indebtedness;

•our ability to enter into and terms and timing of any collaborations, licensing agreements or other arrangements;

•the costs of sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing efforts;

•our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our business;

•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending against intellectual property related claims; and

•the costs of operating as a public company



Until such time, if ever, as we can generate positive cash flows from
operations, we expect to finance our additional cash needs through a combination
of equity offerings, debt financings, sales of products and services to our
customers and, to a lesser extent, grants. To the extent that we raise
additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities,
stockholder ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of those
securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect
the rights of holders of common stock. Debt financing, if available, may involve
agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take
specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures
or declaring dividends.

If we raise funds through additional strategic alliances or licensing
arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to
our technologies or future revenue streams or to grant licenses on terms that
may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through
equity offerings, debt financings or grants when needed, we may be required to
delay, limit, or reduce our expansion efforts.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments



Contractual obligations represent future cash commitments and liabilities under
agreements with third parties and exclude orders for goods and services entered
into in the normal course of business that are not enforceable or legally
binding.

On December 30, 2020, we entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for
senior secured financing of up to $50.0 million, originally consisting of a
$25.0 million Tranche A term loan and a $25.0 million Tranche B term loan. The
Tranche A term loan of $25.0 million was drawn at the initial closing of the
Credit Agreement on December 30, 2020. The Credit Agreement was amended on May
27, 2021 to split the previously remaining $25.0 million delayed draw term loan
commitments under the Credit Agreement into a $10.0 million Tranche B term loan
and a $15.0 million Tranche C term loan. The Tranche B term loan of $10.0
million was drawn on May 27, 2021. The Credit Agreement was amended on March 30,
2022 to split the remaining $15.0 million Tranche C term loan into a $7.5
million Tranche C term loan and a $7.5 million Tranche D term loan. The Tranche
C term loan was drawn on March 30, 2022. The Tranche D term loan was drawn on
June 29, 2022.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the one-month LIBOR rate (with a minimum LIBOR rate for such purposes of 1.75%)
plus a margin of 9.50% (11.25% at June 30, 2022). Monthly payments of interest
only are due over the term of the Credit Agreement with no scheduled loan
amortization. Unless accelerated prior to such date, all amounts outstanding
under the Credit Agreement are due to be repaid on December 30, 2025. In
addition, the Credit Agreement includes a quarterly minimum total revenue
covenant for the applicable trailing twelve month period. On October 29, 2021,
we entered into the Second Amendment to, among other things, eliminate the
minimum total revenue covenant for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021
and reset the total minimum revenue covenants thereafter. Pursuant to the Second
Amendment, the minimum total revenue covenant, as amended, has resumed

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience, market and other conditions, and various other assumptions it
believes to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management's
best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact us in the future,
the estimation process is, by its nature, uncertain given that estimates depend
on events over which we may not have control. Though the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic to our business and operating results presents additional uncertainty,
we continue to use the best information available to inform our critical
accounting estimates. If market and other conditions change from those that we
anticipate, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected. In
addition, if our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates, or
take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material effect
on our consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no material
changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates from those
described under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Significant
Judgments and Estimates" in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021
and filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.
