Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Butterfly Network, Inc. and its subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Butterfly Network, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and statement of cash flow, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Inventory Raw Materials Valuation– Note 5 Inventories

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company enters into inventory commitments with third-party manufacturers in the ordinary course of business, including a non-cancellable inventory supply agreement with a certain third-party manufacturing vendor. Raw materials inventory as of December 31, 2023, was $49.4 million, net of all write-downs to net realizable value taken in the current and prior periods, and current year write-down was $21.1 million.

The agreement requires monthly purchases of inventory by the Company, which represent firm commitments to take or pay for the product. The Company compares the on-hand inventory plus minimum commitments remaining, to their projected future sales of product and determines whether they would be able to sell the product for greater than cost, prior to any estimated

obsolesce period or changes in technology, and establishes inventory write-downs for any losses on projected excess quantities of raw materials on hand as well as liabilities for any excess quantities not on hand but that they are committed to purchase. Projections of future sales of inventory are based on a number of factors, including the Company’s approved plans and strategies, the Company’s limited sales history, agreement-specific provisions, macroeconomic factors and market and industry trends, including estimates of technological and product changes. Significant judgments and estimates are made by the Company in evaluating the projected sales and evaluating expected losses on excess quantities, at the end of each reporting period.

We identified the evaluation of excess and obsolete inventory as a critical audit matter because of the judgments and estimates necessary for management to determine the total excess inventory and related write-downs. Assessing the estimates utilized in projections required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort when performing procedures to audit the recorded amount of reserves for expected losses.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the management’s estimation of write-downs for expected losses on raw materials inventory both on hand and committed included the following, among others:

●We tested the design and implementation over the establishment of write-downs for losses, including management’s controls over projections.
●With respect to management’s recorded write-downs, we performed the following procedures:
-Read relevant contracts and compared key provisions of the contracts to the Company’s analysis.
-Recalculated the Company’s analysis of the losses including comparing on-hand inventory used in the analysis to inventory observed via annual physical counts and confirmations with third parties, as well as comparing the remaining fixed minimum purchases used in management’s analysis to the third-party contracts.
-Obtained and evaluated the Company’s projected sales of inventory by performing the following:
◾Compared management’s prior-year assumptions of expected future sales to actual sales during the current year to identify potential bias in the determination of the reserves.
◾Compared projections to recent sales history and related trends
◾Compared projections to industry information, market data, and peer group data.
◾Inspected minutes of the board of directors, regulatory and other public filings, and investor communications to identify any evidence that may contradict management’s assertions.
◾Obtained evidence, including executed third-party contracts used by management to support sales strategies reflected in the analysis.
◾Inquired of sales and operations personnel regarding projections and strategies to determine whether it supported or contradicted the conclusions reached by management in the analysis.
◾Inquired of operations personnel as to projected technology obsolescence, if any, to determine whether it supported or contradicted the conclusions reached by management in the analysis.
