Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization

Description of Business

Exagen Inc. (the Company) is a medical technology company primarily focused on the design, development and commercialization of a next-generation portfolio of testing products under the AVISE® brand, which allow for the differential diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of complex rheumatic, autoimmune and autoimmune-related disease including, among others, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Liquidity

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses in future periods. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30.0 million and had an accumulated deficit of $302.5 million. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through a combination of equity financings, debt financing arrangements, and revenue from sales of the Company's products. Based on the Company's current business plan, management believes that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund the Company's obligations for at least twelve months following the issuance of these condensed financial statements.

On April 25, 2025, the Company and Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP (Perceptive) entered into the Credit Agreement (as defined below), under which an initial term loan of $25.0 million was funded, $19.7 million of which the Company used to repay the 2017 Term Loan (as defined below). The Company received $3.0 million in proceeds, net of issuance costs and repayment of the 2017 Term Loan. The term loan facility allows the Company to draw up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million in several tranches, subject to specified milestone requirements. Additionally, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant certificate to purchase up to 1,150,000 shares of common stock (the Warrant Certificate),400,000 of which vested and became exercisable upon issuance (the Tranche A Warrant Shares) and up to 750,000 of which will vest and become exercisable if and when the additional debt tranches are drawn by the Company. See “Note 4 Borrowings—Perceptive Term Loan Facility” for more information.

On May 9, 2025, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3,852,500 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $5.25 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $18.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. See “Note 7 Stockholders' Equity—2025 Public Offering” for more information.

To execute its business plans, the Company may need additional funding to support its continuing operations and pursue its growth strategy. Until such time as the Company can achieve significant cash flows from operations, if ever, it may need to finance its operations through the sale of its stock, debt financings or other strategic transactions. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's stockholders. Although management believes the Company's existing capital resources are adequate to fund operations for the next twelve months, if the Company is unable to obtain additional funding in the future, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its programs, product portfolio expansion plans or commercialization efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition and the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2025, condensed statements of operations and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements and related footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2025 (the 2024 Annual Report). In management's opinion, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report and include all normal adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2025 and its results of operations for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, the fair value of the warrant liability, the estimated incremental borrowing rate for the determination of the Company's operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, and the recoverability of its long-lived assets and net deferred tax assets (and related valuation allowance). The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risk and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held at one financial institution that management believes is of high credit quality. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash or cash equivalents.

Significant payors and customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company's total revenue or accounts receivable balance at each respective balance sheet date. For each significant payor and customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable are as follows:

Revenue

Accounts Receivable, Net
June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Customer A14%13%
Customer B22%25%
*Less than 10%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 91% and 90%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was related to the AVISE® CTD test. Revenue related to AVISE® CTD test for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 91% and 90%, respectively.

The Company is dependent on key suppliers for certain laboratory materials, consisting primarily of reagents and biomarkers used in our diagnostic tests. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 approximately 87% and 99%, respectively, of the Company's diagnostic testing supplies were purchased from two suppliers. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 92% and 97%, respectively, of the Company's diagnostic testing supplies were purchased from three suppliers. An interruption in the supply of these materials would impact the Company's ability to perform testing services.

(2)Includes patient self-pay.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity date of three months or less upon acquisition to be cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company has an arrangement with a financial institution with which it has an existing banking relationship, whereby in exchange for the issuance of corporate credit cards, the Company agreed to obtain a certificate of deposit with this financial institution in the amount of $0.2 million as collateral for the balances borrowed on these cards (the Credit Card Program). The Company has classified the value of this certificate of deposit (including all interest earned thereon) within other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company has the right to terminate the Credit Card Program at any time. Upon termination of the Credit Card Program and repayment of all outstanding balances owed, the Company may redeem the certificate of deposit (and all interest earned thereon).

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash presented in the accompanying condensed statements of cash flows consist of the following (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents$30,033$22,036
Restricted cash200200
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$30,233$22,236

Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets are comprised principally of its property and equipment and operating lease assets. The Company amortizes all finite-lived intangible assets over their respective estimated useful lives. Operating lease assets are amortized over the term of the leases. In considering whether long-lived assets are impaired, the Company combines its long-lived assets into groupings, a determination which is made principally on the basis of whether the assets are specific to a particular test offered or technology being developed. If the

Company identifies a change in the circumstances related to its long-lived assets that indicates the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable, the Company will perform an impairment analysis. A long-lived asset is deemed to be impaired when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Management’s estimates of future cash flows are impacted by projected test volume and levels of reimbursement, as well as expectations related to the future cost structure of the entity. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense.

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company's revenue has been derived from sales of its testing products and is primarily comprised of a high volume of relatively low-dollar transactions. The Company primarily markets its testing products to rheumatologists and their physician assistants in the United States. The healthcare professionals who order the Company's testing products and to whom test results are reported are generally not responsible for payment for these products. The parties that pay for these services (each, a payor) consist of commercial payors (healthcare insurers), government payors (primarily Medicare and Medicaid), client payors (hospitals, other laboratories, etc.) and patient self-pay.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and follows a five-step process to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognized: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's service is a single performance obligation that is completed upon the delivery of test results to the prescribing physician which triggers revenue recognition.

Payors are generally billed at the Company's list price, unless a separate pricing contract is in place. Net revenues recognized consist of amounts billed net of allowances for differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive from such payors. The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation. The Company follows a standard process, which considers historical denial and collection experience, insurance reimbursement policies and other factors, to estimate allowances and implicit price concessions. Adjustments are recorded in the current period as changes in estimates occur. Further adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts, are recorded upon settlement. Included in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was a $0.1 million and a $3.1 million net revenue increase, respectively, associated with changes in estimated variable consideration related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Included in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was a $1.0 million and a $5.1 million net revenue increase, respectively, associated with changes in estimated variable consideration related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The transaction price is estimated using an expected value method on a portfolio basis.

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. The Company's portfolios are grouped per payor (i.e. each individual commercial payor, Medicare, Medicaid, client payors, patient self-pay, etc.) and per test. Consideration may be constrained and excluded from the transaction price in situations where there is no contractually agreed upon reimbursement coverage or in absence of a predictable pattern and history of collectability with a payor. Accordingly, in such situations revenues are recognized on the basis of actual cash collections. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may issue refunds to payors for overpayments or amounts billed in error. Any refunds are accounted for as reductions in revenues in the condensed statements of operations as an element of variable consideration. The estimated expected refunds are accrued as a liability on the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Collection of the Company's net revenues from payors is normally a function of providing complete and correct billing information, along with any requested medical or other claims-related information to the healthcare insurers. This generally occurs within 30 to 90 days of billing, however, the amount and timing of any reimbursements or collections for the Company's billed tests may vary by payor and other circumstances. Contracts do not contain significant financing components based on the typical period of time between performance of services and collection of consideration.

Amounts received prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recognized as deferred revenue until all applicable revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue represented the portion of payments received that have not been earned. During the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into various work orders to perform diagnostic testing services including identifying and evaluating biomarkers, and received nonrefundable, upfront payments for these services. The Company had deferred revenue related to these contracts of $1.0 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $0.2 million out of the beginning deferred revenue balance during the six months ended June 30, 2025 andno revenue was recognized out of the beginning deferred revenue balance during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company expects to recognize revenue from unfulfilled performance obligations associated with service contracts within one year or less.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company accrues an allowance for credit losses against its accounts receivable based on management’s current estimate of amounts that will not be collected. Management’s estimates are typically based on historical loss information adjusted for current conditions. The Company generally does not perform evaluations of the financial condition of the Company's customers and generally does not require collateral. The allowance for credit losses was $0.5 million andzero as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjustments for implicit price concessions attributable to variable consideration, as discussed above, are incorporated into the measurement of the accounts receivable balances and are not part of the allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable was $14.3 million and $7.8 million at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Loan Commitment Fees

Loan commitment fees are generally included as a reduction of the proceeds from the outstanding debt. If there were no borrowings drawn on the related credit facility, the loan commitment fees are classified as assets until the related debt is drawn. The Company’s loan commitment fee is comprised of an upfront cash payment and a contingent obligation to issue future warrants to Perceptive in connection with the Credit Agreement (as defined below). The amounts have been recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets for the short-term portion of $1.1 million and within other assets for the long-term portion of $0.8 million on the condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2025. As the Company is not reasonably certain it will draw on the future debt tranches, the loan commitment fees are amortized ratably into interest expense over the outstanding draw periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the loan commitment fees within the Company's condensed statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards to employees and directors based on the grant date estimated fair values over the requisite service period of the awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The fair value of stock options and purchases under the Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Equity award forfeitures are recorded as they occur.

The BSM option pricing model incorporates various inputs, including the fair value of the Company's common stock, expected volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates. Volatility is based on the Company's historical calculated volatility since being publicly traded. The Company computes the historical volatility data using the daily closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the equivalent period that approximates the calculated expected term of the stock options. The weighted-average expected term of options was calculated using the simplified method, as the Company has concluded that its stock option exercise history does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is zero, as the Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

The fair value of each restricted stock unit (RSU) is determined on the grant date using the closing price of the Company's common stock on that date. The Company's RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over four years from the date of grant or, for grants to new hires, date of hire. Vesting of the RSU is subject to the holder's continued service with the Company. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy the RSUs upon vesting.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period, resulting from transactions from nonowner sources. There have been no items qualifying as other comprehensive loss and, therefore, for all periods presented, the Company's comprehensive loss was the same as its reported net loss.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares includes shares issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants at a nominal price. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of warrants for the purchase of common stock, stock options, RSUs outstanding under the Company's 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the 2019 Plan) and shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the ESPP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding, as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive, are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) not included in the Company’s disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(ASU 2023-09), which requires additional income tax disclosures in the rate reconciliation table for federal, state and foreign income taxes, in addition to more details about the reconciling items in some categories when items meet a certain quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. This update will result in enhanced income tax disclosures, and the Company does not expect any impact to income tax expense.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (ASU 2024-03). This update requires entities to include more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

Note 4. Borrowings

Perceptive Term Loan Facility

On April 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the Credit Agreement) with Perceptive, which provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million (the Perceptive Term Loan Facility) broken into four tranches. An initial tranche of $25.0 million (the Tranche A Loan) was funded on April 25, 2025, of which $19.7 million was used to repay the 2017 Term Loan (as defined below) with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP (Innovatus). Additional tranches of up to $10.0 million (the Tranche B Loan), $10.0 million (the Tranche C Loan), and $30.0 million (the Tranche D Loan, and collectively with the Tranche A Loan, the Tranche B Loan and the Tranche C Loan, the Term Loans) may be drawn at the Company's option subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including specified revenue milestones. The Perceptive Term Loan Facility matures on April 25, 2030, and includes an interest-only period through maturity, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due on the maturity date.

The Perceptive Term Loan Facility accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or (ii)4.75%, plus a margin of 7.0% (the Applicable Margin), payable monthly in arrears. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Applicable Margin may be increased by 4.0% at Perceptive’s election. The Company may prepay the Term Loans at any time, subject to prepayment premiums ranging from 2.0% to 10.0% of the principal amount, depending on the date of prepayment.

The Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s existing and future assets and includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. These include, among others, restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, and affiliate transactions. The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $3.0 million and achieve specified net revenue levels on a quarterly basis beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants required under the Credit Agreement.

In addition, on April 25, 2025, as consideration for the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to Perceptive the Warrant Certificate. The 400,000 Tranche A Warrant Shares vested and became exercisable on the date of issuance, and warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock will vest and become exercisable if and when the additional debt tranches are drawn by the Company. The Warrant Certificate has aten-year term from the applicable vesting date and includes broad-based weighted anti-dilution protection for certain dilutive issuances and for certain recapitalization events and registration rights provisions.

The Company concluded that the Tranche A Warrant qualifies for liability classification and recorded the fair value of $2.2 million at issuance as a debt discount. The Company also recognized debt issuance costs of $1.4 million as additional debt discount. These amounts are amortized over the remaining term of the Perceptive Term Loan Facility under the effective interest method. The proportionate amount of the upfront closing fee paid of $1.1 million and the fair value of $1.3 million related to the contingent warrants that may be issued for future debt tranches are recorded as a loan commitment asset and amortized as discussed in Note 2.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.8 million of interest expense, including $0.1 million of debt discount amortization, in connection with the Perceptive Term Loan Facility. The effective interest rate was 16.2% per annum. As of June 30, 2025, the Perceptive Term Loan Facility had a carrying value of $21.4 million, classified within borrowings, non-current, net of discounts and debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

2017 Term Loan

In September 2017, the Company executed a term loan agreement (the 2017 Term Loan) with Innovatus, as amended (the Amended Loan Agreement), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $25.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Term Loan Facility was fully drawn with an outstanding principal balance of $19.8 million and a carrying value of $19.3 million. The interest rate on all borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement was the sum of (a) the greater of 8.0% or The Wall Street Journal prime rate (the Prime Rate), plus (b)2.0%. Interest on any outstanding term loan advances was due and payable monthly, unless the Company elected to pay paid-in-kind interest. In addition to the monthly interest payments, a final payment equal to $1.0 million was due the earlier of the maturity date or the date the advance is repaid. Principal balances were required to be repaid in 24 equal installments which began on August 1, 2023.

On April 25, 2025, the Company fully repaid all $19.7 million in outstanding indebtedness owed to Innovatus pursuant to its Amended Loan Agreement and terminated the agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the early repayment of the 2017 Term Loan on the Company's condensed statements of operations.

Equipment Notes Payable

In May 2022, the Company purchased laboratory equipment in the normal course of business using notes payable. In January 2025, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to procure additional laboratory equipment. At

June 30, 2025, the total liability balance related to the financed equipment was $1.5 million, with $0.7 million classified within borrowings, current and $0.8 million within borrowings, non-current, net of discounts and debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. At December 31, 2024, the total liability balance related to the financed equipment was $1.1 million, with $0.4 million classified within borrowings, current and $0.7 million within borrowings, non-current, net of discounts and debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The financed equipment is subject to effective interest rates between 5.28% and 10.50%, and will mature between October 1, 2026 and April 1, 2028.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Licensing Agreements

The Company has licensed technology for use in its diagnostic tests. In addition to the milestone payments required by these agreements, individual license agreements generally provide for ongoing royalty payments of less than 1% on net sales of products which incorporate licensed technology, as defined in such agreements. Royalties are accrued when incurred and recorded in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

Supply Agreements

The Company has a supply agreement withone of its suppliers for certain reagents, which includes pricing terms and minimum purchase commitments, through December 31, 2025, for consumable products related to the Company's biomarkers. The aggregate minimum annual purchase commitment related to such agreement for the year ending December 31, 2025 is $10.4 million.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications, including for subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid and managed care organizations reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties. The Company's exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made or that the Company believes to be immaterial. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company does not believe the outcome of any such matters will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), which has been previously disclosed, the Company made a single lump-sum remittance to the government in the amount of $0.7 million plus interest in October 2023. The U.S. Attorney’s Office dismissed the “covered conduct” elements in the qui tam with prejudice, while non-covered conduct was dismissed without prejudice. The DOJ excused itself from the case in connection with the settlement. The Company’s ability to participate in federally funded healthcare programs was unaffected by the settlement. In November 2023, the complaint was unsealed and served on the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In February 2024, the relator filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint. The Company opposed this motion. In March 2025, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with prejudice and denied the relator’s motion for leave to amend. On April 14, 2025, the relator filed an appeal with respect to this ruling. On July 15, 2025, the qui tam case was dismissed with prejudice by the presiding judge. Both the DOJ and the relator’s counsel filed a stipulation of dismissal in the matter.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities are determined to be a Level 1 measurement. The carrying values of these items approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term borrowings is determined by Level 2 inputs and based primarily on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. As of June 30, 2025, the Perceptive Term Loan Facility had a carrying value of $21.4 million and a fair value of $22.0 million. The estimated fair value of the Perceptive Term Loan Facility was determined based on a discounted cash flow approach using available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. The aggregate carrying value of the Company's other long-term borrowings as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and approximated its fair value.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The three levels of the valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company's financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The fair value of the Company's money market funds is based on quoted market prices.

Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a liability for the Warrant Certificate issued in connection with the Perceptive Term Loan Facility at fair value utilizing a probability-weighted BSM option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs consisting of the Company's probability assessment of drawing future debt tranches, the inputs used for the Company’s stock-based compensation expense adjusted for the Warrant Certificate’s expected term, which is calculated based on the remaining contractual term, and the fair value of the underlying common stock. As such, the warrant liability was determined to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The assumptions used in the BSM option pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrant liability were as follows:

April 25, 2025 (Warrant Certificate Issuance Date)June 30, 2025
Fair value of underlying common stock$6.21$6.98
Exercise price$4.96 - $6.99$4.96 - $7.85
Risk-free interest rate4.3%4.2% - 4.3%
Expected volatility88.8%88.1% - 88.3%
Expected term (in years)10.09.8 - 10.0
Expected dividend yield—%—%

The probability assessment considers both the likelihood of the Company satisfying certain conditions, including specified revenue milestones, which give the Company the option to draw future debt tranches as well as the likelihood that the Company will exercise the right to draw one or more future debt tranches. The Company assessed these factors at inception and as of June 30, 2025 and applied a weighted-average probability of approximately 33% in the measurement of fair value, given current and forecasted capital needs. Significant increases or decreases in the probability assessment in future periods may increase or decrease the fair value estimate of the warrant liability, respectively. The interrelationship between these inputs is insignificant.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the warrant liability measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (in thousands):

Note 8. Stock Option Plan

2019 Incentive Award Plan

In September 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) adopted, and the Company's stockholders approved, the 2019 Plan. Under the 2019 Plan, which expires in September 2029, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards to individuals who are then employees, officers, non-employee directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The options generally expireten years after the date of grant and are exercisable to the extent vested. Vesting is established by the Board and is generally four years from the date of grant or, for grants to new hires, date of hire. The 2019 Plan contains an "evergreen provision" that allows annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on the first day of each calendar year through January 1, 2029 in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i)4% of the outstanding capital stock on each December 31st, or (ii) such lesser amount determined by the Board. Pursuant to the evergreen provision, on January 1, 2025, an additional 705,613 shares of the Company's common stock became available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. As of June 30, 2025,2,533,057 shares of the Company's common stock remained available for future awards under the 2019 Plan.

Note 9. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations as, and manages its business in, one operating segment focused on the design, development and commercialization of testing products which allow for the differential diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of complex rheumatic, autoimmune and autoimmune-related disease. Segment revenue is primarily derived from the sale of the Company’s testing products, most of which is attributable to its AVISE® CTD test.

The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on revenue and net loss as reported on the condensed statements of operations, after taking into account the Company’s strategic priorities, its cash balance and its expected use of cash. The CODM considers budget/forecast versus actual results on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets and were $58.8 million and $44.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Segment revenue and net loss, including significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM are as follows (in thousands):
