REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

C2I GENOMICS INC.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of C2I Genomics Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in convertible preferred stocks and stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
2


Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. 
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

C2I GENOMICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 1: -    GENERAL

a.    C2I Genomics Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 23, 2019, in the State of Delaware, United States and commenced its operations on the same date.

The Company has developed a novel method for estimating tumor burden in cancer patients through analysis of patient’s cell free DNA sequence and offer post-surgery monitoring of cancer recurrence and progression by analyzing subtle changes in the pattern of the tumor’s DNA.

The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, C2I Genomics Ltd., incorporated under the laws of the state of Israel (the "Israeli Subsidiary").

b.    Since inception, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $76,075 and negative cash flows from operating activities. On February 5, 2024, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company was acquired and merged into Veracyte, Inc. ("Veracyte") in an all-stock deal for total consideration of up to $95,000 (see Note 13). Veracyte is committed to fund the Company's operations for a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

a.    Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

b.    Use of estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

c.     Foreign currency:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars.
A substantial portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels. However, the Company finances its operations mainly in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of its expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars and revenues from its primary markets are anticipated to be generated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company’s management believes that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.
The Company has determined the functional currency of its foreign subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. The foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company’s operations. The day-to-day operations of the foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S. dollar.
Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
d.    Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired.
e.    Leases:

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term; the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised; the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset; the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset; or the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are then adjusted for any prepaid or deferred lease payments and lease incentives.
As the Company’s leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease terms when it is reasonably certain they will be exercised.

C2I GENOMICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Finance lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. Interest on finance lease liability is recorded to Interest expenses. Operating lease expenses are on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
f.    Restricted deposits:
Restricted deposits are deposits used as security for the Company’s leases. Restricted deposits are presented at their cost.
g.    Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:
%
Computers and peripheral equipment15 - 33
Lab equipment33
Leasehold improvementsOver the shorter of the term of the lease or useful life of the assets

h.    Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company's' long-lived assets is reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record an impairment loss.
i.    Accounting for stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair Value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, on a straight-line basis.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying Common stocks, the expected term of the award, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s Common stocks, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of Common stocks.
10

C2I GENOMICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The following table sets forth the parameters used in computation of the options fair value for the year ended December 31, 2023:
Year ended December 31,
2023
Average expected term (in years)
6.25
Risk free interest rate
3.94%-4.75%
Volatility
60%-78%
Dividend yield
0%

The risk-free interest rate assumption is the implied yield currently available on the U.S treasury yield zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life term of the Company's options. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility of other comparable publicly traded companies. The Company determined the expected life of the options according to the simplified method. The Company have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. As the Company's Common stocks are not publicly traded, the Company's board of directors estimate the fair value of its Common stocks based on contemporaneous valuations and other factors deemed relevant by management.
j.    Employee benefit plans:
The Company's 401(k) plan (the "401(k) Plan") is a defined contribution retirement plan that covers all eligible Company's employees, as defined in section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their annual gross eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company matches employee contributions up to 4% of eligible pay. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $345 expenses related to the 401(k) plan.
In addition, C2I Genomics Ltd. has defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law under which the Israeli Subsidiary pays fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The plans are normally financed by contributions to insurance companies. Contributions to the defined contribution plan in respect of severance or retirement pay are recognized as an expense when contributed concurrently with performance of the employee's services. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $287 in severance expenses related to these employees.
k.    Concentrations of credit risks:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits and accounts receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits are invested in major banks in the United States and Israel. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and is not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, management believes that it bears lower risk.

NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The Company have no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
l.    Revenue recognition:

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the five-steps model to record revenue under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations.
The Company generally enters into non-cancellable contracts in which the Company is required to test a fixed number of DNA samples. The Company considers the DNA sample testing to be its performance obligation. Therefore, revenue is recognized as the Company tests DNA samples.
In instances of contracts where revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company generally determined that those contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive or provide financing. The Company use the practical expedient and do not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is a year or less.
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents non-cancelable contracts that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and amounts not yet received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $94 as of December 31, 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's revenues were generated from two main customers in the United States.

m.    Cost of revenues:

Cost of revenues primarily consist of payroll expenses, hosting, royalty payments, equipment and laboratory supplies.

n.    Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses include expenses incurred to operate a CLIA-certified lab, participate in clinical studies, and to further develop the Company’s proprietary technology and platform in a variety of applications.
12

These expenses consist of compensation expenses, direct research and development expenses such as laboratory supplies and costs of sequencing samples, web hosting costs to analyze and store associated data, professional fees, and depreciation and amortization. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred.

o.    Income taxes:

The Company account for income taxes under the liability method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when

the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company's policy is to classify interest expenses and penalties recognized in the financial statements as income taxes.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any significant uncertain tax positions.

p.    Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
 
a.    Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
13

C2I GENOMICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 2: -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

b.    Level 2: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

c.    Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, deposits, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, trade payables and other accounts payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value measurement of convertible promissory notes (Note 8) is measured using unobservable inputs that require a high level of judgment to determine fair value, and thus are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of convertible promissory notes using the Option-pricing model.

q.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequently issued multiple amendments to the standard (collectively, “ASU 2016-13”). The provisions of ASU 2016-13 modify the impairment model to utilize an expected loss model in place of the incurred loss model and require a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company entered into operating leases primarily for offices and labs. The leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately 3 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to an additional 5 years. In addition, in March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a genome sequencing equipment for a period of 36 months. The lease was classified as a finance lease since it contained an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical consolidated financial statements of C2i, as adjusted to give effect to the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, gives effect to the Merger as if they occurred or had become effective on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, gives effect to the Merger as if they occurred or had become effective on January 1, 2023. Further information about this basis of presentation is provided in Note 1 to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The Company has been treated as the acquirer in the Merger for accounting purposes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Merger been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.
An updated determination of the fair value of C2i’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed within one year of closing of the Merger. The final purchase price allocation may be different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the
1


information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill, and other assets and liabilities may impact the combined entity’s balance sheet and statement of operations. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may arise, and these differences could have an impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information and the combined entity’s future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information does not reflect any expected cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the Merger or the costs necessary to achieve any such cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.

1. Basis of pro forma presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by the Company in connection with its acquisition of C2i, a company which develops technology to detect the minimal residual disease, or MRD, left behind after cancer treatments.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of C2i, as adjusted to give effect to the pro forma adjustments. Veracyte and C2i’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
C2i’s historical statements of operations have been combined with the Company’s statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Veracyte as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which were filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024, and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of C2i as of December 31, 2023, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (as amended) to which this Exhibit 99.2 is filed as an exhibit.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”), with Veracyte considered the accounting acquirer of C2i. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the purchase price consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of C2i based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information are preliminary and subject to adjustment based on a final determination of fair value and tax contingency matters. The purchase price consideration as well as the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities will be updated and finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing of the acquisition.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Management has included certain reclassification adjustments for consistency in presentation as indicated in the subsequent notes. See Note 2 for further discussion. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Merger or the Acquisition financing been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.

3. C2i acquisition
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Veracyte acquired C2i for total purchase consideration of approximately $100,195 thousand. Veracyte deposited $8,000 thousand of the purchase consideration into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations of the C2i securityholders and $200 thousand was deposited for payment of certain expenses potentially to be incurred by the Securityholders’ Agent in connection with the acquisition. In addition, Veracyte issued 2,698,349 shares of Veracyte common stock to the C2i stockholders and noteholders, and in the case of any C2i stockholders and noteholders who did not certify they were an “accredited investor”, their respective portion of purchase consideration was paid in cash. Further, options granted by C2i to its employees have been assumed by Veracyte on the same terms and conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the acquisition.

(2)    Reflects the impact of stock options issued to certain transferring C2i employees. See Note 5(A) for details.
(E).    The estimated tax impact is based on an assumed tax rate of 21%, which is Veracyte’s statutory rate.
