Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Leases: The Company primarily enters into leases for office space that are classified as operating leases. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total lease cost was $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total lease cost was $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Total lease cost was primarily composed of operating lease costs. Purchase Commitments: The Company enters into inventory purchase 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. The provisions of the agreement allowed the Company, once it reached a certain cumulative purchase threshold in the fourth quarter of 2021, to pay for a portion of the subsequent inventory purchases using an advance previously paid to the vendor. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of minimum inventory purchase commitments is $10.3 million, and the Company has a vendor advance asset of $1.8 million, net of write-downs, and an accrued purchase commitment liability of $0.1 million related to the agreement. The portion of the balances that is expected to be utilized in the next 12 months is included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company applied the guidance in Topic 330, Inventory to assess the purchase commitment and related loss, using such factors as Company-specific forecasts which are reliant on the Company’s limited sales history, agreement-specific provisions, macroeconomic factors, and market and industry trends. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any additions to the accrued purchase commitment liability, or any related losses, based on its purchase commitment assessment as there were no significant changes to the assessment factors. The Company reviews its inventory on hand, including inventory acquired under the purchase commitments, for excess and obsolescence (“E&O”) on a quarterly basis. Any E&O inventory acquired that was previously accounted for as a purchase commitment liability accrual or vendor advance write down is recorded at zero value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not acquire a significant amount of such E&O inventory. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not acquire a significant amount of such E&O inventory. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company utilized $1.6 million of the accrued purchase commitment liability and $4.5 million of the vendor advance that was previously written down to acquire such E&O inventory. Contingencies The Company is involved in litigation and legal matters from time to time, which have arisen in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate results of these matters are not currently determinable, management does not expect that they will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or statements of cash flows. The Company accrues an estimated liability for legal contingencies when the Company considers a potential loss probable and can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. On February 16, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit, styled Rose v. Butterfly Network, Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The claims are against the Company and certain of its directors and previous management as well as Longview and member of its then board of directors, alleging that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omissions about its post-Business Combination business and financial prospects. The alleged class consists of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock between January 12, 2021 and November 15, 2021, persons who exchanged Longview shares for the Company’s common stock, and persons who purchased Longview stock pursuant, or traceable to, the Proxy/Registration Statement filed with the SEC on November 27, 2020 or any amendment thereto. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this action. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, together with interest thereon, as well as the costs and expenses of litigation. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any potential settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time. On June 21, 2022, a stockholder derivative action, styled Koenig v. Todd M. Fruchterman, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company’s board of directors and the Company as nominal defendant. On November 28, 2023, a stockholder derivative action, styled Bhavsar v. Todd M. Fruchterman, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the board of directors and the Company as nominal defendant. Both these actions allege violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. The lawsuits are premised upon allegedly inadequate internal controls and purportedly misleading representations regarding the Company’s financial condition, business prospects, and the Company’s November 2021 earnings announcement. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these actions. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, disgorgement, and restitution, together with interest thereon, as well as the costs and expenses of litigation. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any potential settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time.
