Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual commitments will have an impact on our future liquidity. These commitments include future payments on non-cancellable leases, purchase obligations related to data licenses and cloud computing services, and future payments on our convertible promissory note. Where applicable, we calculate our obligation based on termination fees that can be paid to exit the contract. The data license agreements include committed payments for access to certain data and additional payments contingent on the commercialization of such data. See Note 7, Note 8, and Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for our contractual commitments. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We did not have during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition 

We derive Genomics revenue from selling lab services to physicians, academic research institutions, and other parties. We also derive Data and services revenue from the commercialization of data generated in the lab through the licensing of de-identified datasets to third parties and from matching patients to clinical trials enrolled in its clinical trial network and
