Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in Arizona in 2002 and maintains its headquarters in Davis, California, with additional facilities in American Falls, Idaho, and Chatsworth, California. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in March 2015.

The Company is a producer and marketer of innovative, plant-based health and wellness products. Its history as a leader in science-based approaches to developing high-value crop improvements, as well as nutritionally enhanced food ingredients and health and wellness products, has laid the foundation for its path forward. The Company used advanced breeding techniques to develop these proprietary innovations which are now being commercialized through the sales of seed and grain, as well as food ingredients and products. The recent acquisition of the businesses of Lief Holdings, LLC (“Lief”), EKO Holdings, LLC (“Eko”) and Live Zola, LLC (“Zola”) added bath and body care products, as well as coconut water, to the Company’s portfolio.

In May 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Arcadia Wellness, LLC (“Arcadia Wellness” or “AW”, see Note 6), acquired the businesses of Eko, Lief, and Zola. The acquisition included consumer CBD brands like Soul Spring™, a CBD-infused botanical therapy brand in the natural category, Saavy Naturals™, a line of natural body care products and Provault™, a CBD-infused sports performance formula made with natural ingredients, providing effective support and recovery for athletes. Also included in the purchase is Zola, a coconut water sourced exclusively with sustainably grown coconuts from Thailand.

In August 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Legacy Ventures Hawaii, LLC (“Legacy,” see Note 8) to grow, extract, and sell hemp products. The partnership Archipelago Ventures Hawaii, LLC (“Archipelago”), combines the Company’s extensive genetic expertise and resources with Legacy’s experience in hemp extraction and sales. In October 2021, Arcadia and Legacy mutually agreed to wind down the cultivation activities of Archipelago, due to regulatory challenges and a saturated hemp market.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Arcadia Wellness, and Archipelago.

The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities ("VIEs"). This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

For all periods presented, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Archipelago, a joint venture, as it has a controlling interest in Archipelago. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Archipelago in the condensed consolidated financial statements after eliminating intercompany transactions. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint venture is included in non-controlling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage of Archipelago. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $122,000 and $377,000 is recorded as an adjustment to net (loss) income to arrive at net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The non-controlling partner’s equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022.

The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities during the normal course of business. Since inception, the

5


 

Company has financed its operations primarily through equity and debt financings. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $247.0 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $4.6 million and net cash used in operations of $4.9 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had net losses of $16.1 million and net cash used in operations of $25.9 million.

With cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million as of March 31, 2022, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements, and thus raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company may seek to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. The Company may also consider entering into additional partner arrangements. The sale of additional equity would result in dilution to the Company’s stockholders. The incurrence of debt would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for additional operating and financing covenants that would restrict operations. If the Company does require additional funds and is unable to secure adequate additional funding at terms agreeable to the Company, the Company may be forced to reduce spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets, or suspend or curtail planned development programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the business, results of operations and financial condition.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Additionally, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 in April 2019 and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Targeted Transition Relief in May 2019. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The FASB Board is issuing this Update to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. In addressing the complexity, the FASB Board focused on amending the guidance on convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company, as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, the Company had liability classified awards due to the existence of certain contingent cash payment feature. Upon adoption, these clauses no longer preclude equity classification. Under the modified retrospective method, the historical mark-to-market adjustments related to outstanding awards were reversed through retained earnings and the original carrying value of the awards were reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Adoption of the new standard resulted in an increase to accumulated deficit of $16.0 million, an increase to additional paid-in capital of $19.4 million, and a decrease to common stock warrant liabilities of $3.4 million, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The amendments in this Update clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that issue freestanding written call options that are classified in equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 with an immaterial impact on the Company’s disclosures.

3. Inventory

Inventory costs are tracked on a lot-identified basis and are included as cost of revenues when sold. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company makes adjustments to inventory when conditions indicate that the net realizable value may be less than cost due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other factors. Additional adjustments to inventory are made for excess and slow-moving inventory on hand that is not expected to be sold within a reasonable timeframe to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated net realizable value. The write-downs to inventory are included in cost of revenues and are based upon estimates about future demand from the Company’s customers and distributors and market conditions. The Company recorded write-downs of wheat and body care inventories of $368,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company recorded a write-down of hemp seed inventories of $160,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. If there are significant changes in demand and market conditions, substantial future write-downs of inventory may be required, which would materially increase the Company’s expenses in the period the write down is taken and materially affect the Company’s operating results.

Depreciation expense was $149,000 and $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, there was $197,000 and $267,000 of construction in progress included in property and equipment that had not been placed into service and was not subject to depreciation.

We consider property and equipment to be assets held for sale when management approves and commits to a plan to dispose of a property or group of properties. The property and equipment held for sale prior to the sale date is separately presented, within current assets, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as assets held for sale.

During the first quarter of 2022 management initiated the sale of property and equipment related to Archipelago, located in Hawaii. The Company completed the sale of a portion of such property and equipment with a gain on sale of property and equipment in the amount of $328,000 recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, during the first quarter of 2022, with proceeds of $787,000 through a local auction. The Company had no sales of assets held for sale during the first quarter of 2021. Property and equipment related to Archipelago, in the amount of $254,000, have been classified as assets held for sale, and are recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2022. The fair value has been estimated using publicly available prices for some of the assets, and business partners' estimates for assets with prices not readily available, due to the relatively small size of the industry in which they can be used.

5. Investments and Fair Value Instruments

Investments

The investments are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are recognized as other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during 2022 or 2021. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable. For accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short term to maturity or repayment. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of a contingent liability resulting from the Anawah acquisition, as described in Note 15, and a contingent liability resulting from the Industrial Seed Innovations acquisition. As of December 31, 2021 the Company also had common stock warrant liabilities related to the March 2018, the June 2019, the September 2019, and the January 2021 Offerings, described in Note 11, which were reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, as of January 1, 2022. See Note 2.

The contingent liability related to the Anawah acquisition was measured and recorded on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, using unobservable inputs, namely the Company’s ability and intent to pursue certain specific products developed using technology acquired in the purchase. A significant deviation in the Company’s ability and/or intent to pursue the technology acquired in the purchase could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The contingent liability related to the Industrial Seed Innovations (“ISI”) acquisition was measured and recorded on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, using unobservable inputs, namely ISI’s forecasted revenue. A significant deviation in ISI’s forecasted revenue could result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

6. Arcadia Wellness Acquisition

On May 17, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Arcadia Wellness, acquired the assets of Eko, Lief, and Zola. The acquisition included consumer brands of bath and body care products such as Soul Spring, the CBD-infused botanical therapy brand, Saavy Naturals, a line of natural body care products and Provault, a CBD-infused sports performance formula. Also included in the purchase was Zola, a coconut water sourced from Thailand.

The acquisition was recorded as a business combination, in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price consideration for the acquisition totaled an estimated $6.1 million, of which $4.0 million in cash and $2.1 million in the form of 827,401 shares of the Company’s common stock, was paid during the month of May 2021. The cash consideration paid for the acquisition was funded by cash on hand.

Acquisition costs are not included as components of consideration transferred and instead are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred costs related to the Arcadia Wellness acquisition of approximately $850,000 included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company performed an allocation of purchase price as of the acquisition date based on management's estimates of fair value. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable.

The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired at fair value at the acquisition date.

The former shareholders of Eko, Lief, and Zola remain responsible for their pre-acquisition liabilities. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the use of offices, production equipment acquired, and storage warehouses. The lease was effective on May 17, 2021 and has a term of 3 years.

For the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $1.8 million of revenue and $247,000 of net loss relating to Arcadia Wellness, which included charges for the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

For the period from May 17, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $4.3 million of revenue and $7.5 million of net loss relating to Arcadia Wellness, which included charges for the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Acquired intangible assets of $3.5 million include trade names and trademarks of $2.9 million (indefinite useful life), customer list of $360,000 (fifteen-year useful life) and formulations of $260,000 (ten-year useful life). For impairments related to the acquired intangible assets see Note 7.

The total weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangibles is 12.9 years.

The acquisition produced $1.2 million of goodwill, which was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2021, due to weakness in some of the newly acquired consumer product margins, combined with a volatile economic climate and higher than normal inflation. Goodwill arising from the Arcadia Wellness acquisition was not deductible for tax purposes.

Supplemental Pro-Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared as if the acquisition of Arcadia Wellness had occurred on January 1, 2021 and includes adjustments for amortization of intangibles, and the addition to basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

(1) The gross carrying amounts included in this table reflect the effects of the impairments of intangible assets recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, when the Company estimated an overall decrease in the sales forecast for AW products, due to an inventory item rationalization, in addition to a decrease in the sales forecast of ISI seeds, related to the saturated hemp seed market. As a result, Arcadia performed a quantitative intangible assets impairment test. The Company used a discounted cash flow approach to develop the fair value of the acquired intellectual property, customer lists, brands and trademarks. As a result of this assessment, Arcadia recorded an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $3.3 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. No impairments have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

8. Consolidated Joint Venture

In 2019, the Company and Legacy Ventures Hawaii, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Legacy”), formed Archipelago Ventures Hawaii, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”). The Company and Legacy formed Archipelago to develop, extract and commercialize hemp-derived products from industrial hemp grown in Hawaii.

Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, a joint operating committee consisting of two individuals appointed by the Company and two individuals appointed by Legacy will manage Archipelago. As of March 31, 2022, the Company and Legacy hold 50.75% and 49.25% interests in Archipelago, respectively, and have made capital contributions to Archipelago of $3,108,000 and $3,016,000, respectively, as determined by the joint operating committee. The Operating Agreement includes indemnification rights, non-competition obligations, and certain rights and obligations in connection with the transfer of membership interests, including rights of first refusal.

The Company consolidates Archipelago in the condensed consolidated financial statements after eliminating intercompany transactions. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $122,000 and $377,000 is recorded as an adjustment to net (loss) income to arrive at net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Legacy’s equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 1 for basis of presentation.

In October 2021, Arcadia and Legacy mutually agreed to wind down the cultivation activities of Archipelago, due to regulatory challenges and a saturated hemp market.

9. Collaborative Arrangements

In August 2017, the Company entered into a collaborative arrangement for the research, development and commercialization of an improved wheat quality trait in North America. This collaborative arrangement is a contractual agreement with Corteva AgriScience (“Corteva”) and involves a joint operating activity where both Arcadia and Corteva are active participants in the activities of the collaboration. Arcadia and Corteva participate in the research and development, and Arcadia has the primary responsibility for the intellectual property strategy while Corteva will generally lead the marketing and commercialization efforts. Both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards of the collaboration and the agreement includes both cost sharing and profit sharing. The activities are performed with no guarantee of either technological or commercial success.

The Company accounts for research and development (“R&D”) costs in accordance ASC 730, Research and Development, which states R&D costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party R&D costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results are achieved.

10. Leases

Operating Leases

As of March 31, 2022, the Company leases office space in Davis, CA, and Chatsworth, CA, as well as additional buildings, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis. The Company subleases a portion of the Davis office lease to a third party. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not enter into new leases, and there are no leases that have not yet commenced as of March 31, 2022.

Some leases (the Davis office, a warehouse, and a copy machine) include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to six years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion.

Private Placements

In January 2021, the Company issued in a private placement offering (the “January 2021 Private Placement”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (“January 2021 Purchase Agreement”) (i) 7,876,784 shares of its common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 3,938,392 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.13 per share (the “January 2021 Warrants”) and raised total gross proceeds of $25.1 million. The January 2021 Warrants are exercisable at any time at the option of the holder and expire 5.5 years from the date of issuance. In connection with the January 2021 Private Placement, the Company granted to a placement agent warrants to purchase a total of 393,839 shares of Common Stock (the “January 2021 Placement Agent Warrants”) that have an exercise price per share equal to $3.99 and a term of 5.5 years from the date of issuance.

The common stock warrants are classified as a liability within Level 3 due to a contingent cash payment feature. The Company utilized a Black Scholes Merton model on January 28, 2021 with the following assumptions: volatility of 123.8 percent, stock price of $2.88 and risk-free rate of 0.5%. The estimated fair value of the common stock warrant liability was subsequently remeasured at December 31, 2021 with the changes recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The January 2021 Placement Agent Warrants were issued for services performed by the placement agent as part of the January 2021 Private Placement and were treated as offering costs. The value of the January 2021 Placement Agent Warrants was determined to be $942,000, calculated using a Black-Scholes Model. The Company incurred additional offering costs totaling $1.9 million that consist of direct incremental legal, advisory, accounting and filing fees relating to the January 2021 Private Placement. The offering costs, inclusive of the January 2021 Placement Agent Warrants, totaled $2.8 million and allocated to the common stock warrant liability and the common stock using their relative fair values. A total of $769,000 was allocated to the common stock warrant liability and expensed and the remaining $2.0 million was allocated to the common stock and offset to additional paid in capital.

The number of shares of common stock and the number and exercise price of the March 2018 Warrants issued in the March 2018 Private Placement were subject to adjustments as provided in the March 2018 Purchase Agreement. Following the adjustments as provided in the March 2018 Purchase Agreement, the number of shares issued to the purchasers was 1,201,634, the total number of shares issuable upon exercise of the March 2018 Warrants was 1,282,832 and the per share exercise price of the March 2018 Warrants was $10.7258.

(1) The Company issued service and performance warrants (“Service and Performance Warrants”) in connection with professional services agreements with non-affiliated third party entities.

(2) Certain warrants contain a contingent cash payment feature and therefore were accounted for as a liability at the date of issuance and were adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, all of the common stock warrant liabilities have been reclassified to equity classified common stock warrants, due to the elimination of the contingent cash payments as criteria for liability classification.

(3) These warrants expired in February 2022.

13. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Purchase Program

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has two equity incentive plans: the 2006 Stock Plan (“2006 Plan”) and the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).

In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Plan, which provided for the granting of stock options to executives, employees, and other service providers under terms and provisions established by the Board of Directors. The Company granted non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”) under the 2006 Plan until May 2015, when it was terminated as to future awards, although it continues to govern the terms of options that remain outstanding and were issued under the 2006 Plan. The 2015 Plan became effective upon the Company’s IPO in May 2015 and all shares that were reserved, but not issued, under the 2006 Plan were assumed by the 2015 Plan. Upon effectiveness, the 2015 Plan had 154,387 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance, which included 10,637 that were transferred to and assumed by the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for automatic annual increases in shares available for grant. In addition, shares subject to awards under the 2006 Plan that are forfeited or canceled will be added to the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), NSOs, restricted stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of equity compensation, all of which may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants. The exercise price for ISOs and NSOs will be granted at a price per share not less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options granted generally vest over a four-year period; however, there might be alternative vesting schedules, as approved by the Board. Options granted, once vested, are generally exercisable for up to 10 years, after grant to the extent vested.

In June 2019, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2015 Plan for a one-time increase to the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2015 Plan by 120,000 shares. On May 17, 2021, upon completion of the Arcadia Wellness transaction, the Company granted 248,000 inducement stock option pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On May 28, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the issuance of shares upon exercise of these inducement stock options. On February 2, 2022, Stanley Jacot, Jr. was hired as the new president and chief executive officer of the Company. The Company granted Mr. Jacot an inducement stock option to purchase 316,108 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company has not filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the issuance of shares upon exercise of this inducement stock option. The inducement options grants have been issued outside of the 2015 Plan, but are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 2,484,005 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan, of which 1,158,874 shares of common stock are available for future grant. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 7,813 and 1,325,131 options are outstanding under the 2006 and 2015 Plans, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 8,240 and 1,345,955 options are outstanding under the 2006 and 2015 Plans, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 a total of 376,608 inducement options are outstanding.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock determined by our Board of Directors for each of the respective periods. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $0 for both quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation grants that will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 3.07 years.

On December 14, 2021, Matt Plavan provided notice to the Company of his resignation as Arcadia’s president, chief executive officer and director, effective as of December 31, 2021. On December 19, 2021, Arcadia and Mr. Plavan entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) which provided that the vesting of all unvested options previously issued to Mr. Plavan accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement. In addition, the Separation Agreement extended the post-termination exercise period of the accelerated options from 90 days to up to two and one-half years. The stock compensation expense

related to the modification of Mr. Plavan’s stock options was $154,000 and it was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021.

In determining the fair value of the stock-based awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Expected Term—The expected term is the estimated period of time outstanding for stock options granted and was estimated based on a simplified method allowed by the SEC, and defines the term as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all open employee awards.

Expected Volatility—The historical volatility data was computed using the daily closing prices for the Company’s shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of the stock-based awards.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate of U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturities on the date the options were granted.

Expected Dividend—The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts to common stockholders.

The fair value of stock option awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumption:

The Company recognized $260,000 and $325,000 of compensation expense for stock options awards for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) became effective on May 14, 2015. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of up to 15% of their eligible compensation through payroll deductions, subject to any plan limitations. After the first offering period, which began on May 14, 2015 and ended on February 1, 2016, the ESPP provides for six-month offering periods, and at the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period. As of March 31, 2022, the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP is 128,914. The ESPP provides for automatic annual increases in the shares available for purchase beginning on January 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2022, 54,928 shares had been issued under the ESPP. The Company recorded $1,000 and $5,000 of ESPP related compensation expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

14. Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known, or as the tax environment changes.

The interim financial statement provision for income taxes is different from the amounts computed by applying the United States federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.00% and -0.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

16


 

The Company experienced an ownership change under IRC Section 382 as a result of the common shares issued in connection with the January 2021 Offering. This ownership change limited the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to expiration and certain net operating loss carryforwards were written off as a result. The Company is currently conducting additional analysis regarding the valuation of the Company at the time of the ownership change to assess what, if any, portion of the limitation may be reversed. Any adjustment to the amount of limitation will not impact the deferred tax asset balance due to the full valuation allowance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases office and laboratory space, grain storage bins, warehouse space, farmland, and equipment under operating lease agreements having initial lease terms ranging from one to five years, including certain renewal options available to the Company at market rates. The Company also leases land for field trials on a short-term basis. See Note 10.

Legal Matters

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings. The Company currently is not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings.

Contingent Liability Related to the Anawah Acquisition

In June 2005, the Company completed its agreement and plan of merger and reorganization with Anawah, Inc. (“Anawah”), to purchase the Anawah’s food and agricultural research company through a non-cash stock purchase. Pursuant to the merger with Anawah, and in accordance with the ASC 805 - Business Combinations, the Company incurred a contingent liability not to exceed $5.0 million. This liability represents amounts to be paid to Anawah’s previous stockholders for cash collected on revenue recognized by the Company upon commercial sale of certain specific products developed using technology acquired in the purchase. As of December 31, 2010, the Company ceased activities relating to three of the six Anawah product programs thus, the contingent liability was reduced to $3.0 million. During the third quarter of 2016, one of the programs previously accrued for was abandoned and another program previously abandoned was reactivated. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company determined that one of the technologies was no longer active and decided to abandon the previously accrued program. As of March 31, 2022, the Company continues to pursue a total of two development programs using this technology and believes that the contingent liability is probable. As a result, $2.0 million remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as an other noncurrent liability.

Contingent Liability Related to the ISI Acquisition

In August 2020, the Company acquired by merger Industrial Seed Innovations (ISI). A portion of the purchase price consideration for the acquisition in the amount of $280,000 will be recognized in two annual installments, each of up to 132,626 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the achievement of revenue milestones in 2021 and 2022. The contingent consideration was measured and recorded at fair value. As of March 31, 2022, the full amount of the contingent consideration is included in other noncurrent liabilities as no installments are expected to become due within 12 months from the condensed consolidated balance sheets date. During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of a remeasurement of the contingent consideration, a $31,000 decrease and a $140,000 decrease in the related liability were recorded as a change in fair value of contingent consideration on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent liability related to the ISI acquisition has been estimated in the amount of $39,000.

Contracts

The Company has entered into contract research agreements with unrelated parties that require the Company to pay certain funding commitments. The initial terms of these agreements range from one to three years in duration and in certain cases are cancelable.

The Company licenses certain technologies via executed agreements (“In-Licensing Agreements”) that are used to develop and advance the Company’s own technologies. The Company has entered into various In-Licensing Agreements with related and unrelated parties that require the Company to pay certain license fees, royalties, and/or milestone fees. In addition, certain royalty payments ranging from 2% to 15% of net revenue amounts as defined in the In-Licensing Agreements are or will be due.

The Company could be adversely affected by certain actions by the government as it relates to government contract revenue received in prior years. Government agencies, such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its agreements; cost structure; and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The agencies also review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems.

17


 

While the Company’s management anticipates no adverse result from an audit, should any costs be found to be improperly allocated to a government agreement, such costs will not be reimbursed, or if already reimbursed, may need to be refunded. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments or fines, and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the government could occur. In addition, serious reputational harm or significant adverse financial effects could occur if allegations of impropriety were made against the Company. There currently are routine audits in process relating to government grant revenues.

16. Net (Loss) Income per Share

As the Company had net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, all potentially dilutive common shares for such quarter were determined to be anti-dilutive. Basic net income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of stock-based awards and warrants. Diluted net income per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in shares and per share):

17. Related-Party Transactions

The Company’s related parties include Moral Compass Corporation (“MCC”) and the John Sperling Foundation (“JSF”). The rights to the intellectual property owned by Blue Horse Labs, Inc. (“BHL”) were assigned to its sole shareholder, the John Sperling Revocable Trust (“JSRT”) due to BHL’s dissolution and then subsequently to the JSF. The JSF is deemed a related party of the Company because MCC, the Company’s largest stockholder, and the JSF share common officers and directors.

JSF receives a single digit royalty from the Company when revenue has been collected on product sales or for license payments from third parties that involve certain intellectual property developed under research funding originally from BHL. Royalty fees due to JSF were $69,000 and $64,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as amounts due to related parties.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company leased land on the island of Molokai, Hawaii from an entity owned by Kevin Comcowich, the Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors, and his wife. The Company used to grow hemp on this land to support the operations of its joint venture Archipelago Ventures Hawaii, until the expiration of the lease in February 2022. The original lease was executed in February 2019, covered 10 acres of land, had a term of two years and provided for rent payments of $1,200 per acre per year. In March and April 2020, the Company entered into two lease amendments for two additional 10-acre

parcels and two additional 15-acre parcels, at the same lease rate of $1,200 per acre per year, and with a term of two years. The Company made lease payments in the amount of $0 and $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Overview

We are a producer and marketer of innovative, plant-based health and wellness products. Our history as a leader in science-based approaches to developing high value crop improvements, primarily in wheat, designed to enhance farm economics by improving the performance of crops in the field, as well as their value as food ingredients, health and wellness products, and their viability for industrial applications, has laid the foundation for our path forward. We have used non-genetically modified (“non-GMO”) advanced breeding techniques to develop these proprietary innovations which we are now commercializing through the sales of seed and grain, food ingredients and products, hemp extracts, trait licensing and royalty agreements. The recent acquisition of the assets of Lief Holdings, LLC (“Lief”), EKO Holdings, LLC (“EKO”) and Live Zola, LLC (“Zola”) adds bath and body care products, CBD consumer products, as well as coconut water, to our portfolio of products.

Our commercial strategy is to satisfy consumer nutrition, health and wellness demands with the superior functional benefits our crops deliver directly from the farm, enabling us to share premium economics throughout the ag-food supply chain and to build a world-class estate of high value traits and varieties. The acquisition of the Lief, EKO and Zola brands allows us to broaden our reach within the health and wellness sector.

It is also estimated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), that approximately one-fifth of the FDA recommended calories consumed by people in the US are from wheat. Therefore, the market opportunity for nutritional improvements in wheat are significant not only because the wheat market itself is vast, but also because of the “share of stomach” wheat represents. Considering that most people today are not getting enough fiber or protein in their daily diets, the superior nutrient density of our non-GMO GoodWheat™ (“GoodWheat”) technology can improve the dietary intake of average consumers, by increasing their fiber and protein consumption without changing the way they eat. We believe this proprietary advantage gives GoodWheat the potential to become a global standard in wheat.

Our Growth Strategy

We believe there are significant opportunities to grow our business by executing the following elements of our strategy:

Accelerate the monetization of our GoodWheat™ wheat trait portfolio. Our proprietary IP with multiple non-GMO wheat traits have clear functional benefits, and we will continue to build partnerships across the wheat value chain. We will continue to invest in acquisition, development and retention of the requisite management and industry experience and production and logistics capacity to fully participate in, and control, the route to market for our high value food ingredients.
Commercialize and Scale our Arcadia Wellness consumer brands through retail and e-commerce expansion. We plan to expand distribution of our core consumer brands through mass market retailers, grocery store chains, and other specialty nutrition stores, as well as through e-commerce. These brands can penetrate large and growing categories through high-value, differentiated benefits, with the ability to scale and generate attractive margins. We will continue to build our commercialization and scaling expertise, refine go-to-market strategies and invest in effective brand-building.

20


 

Evaluate acquisitive growth opportunities. We intend to evaluate potential acquisitions representing vertical integration opportunities with multiple benefits to Arcadia’s growth plans. These could include integrating further into our supply chains to enhance margin capture, as well as speed to market new product innovations and food formulations.

Arcadia Wellness, LLC

In May 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary Arcadia Wellness, LLC, acquired the assets of Eko, Lief, and Zola. We intend for Arcadia Wellness, LLC, to house all of Arcadia Biosciences consumer goods businesses, including core brands GoodWheat, Zola Coconut Water and ProVault Topical Pain Relief, as well as non-core brands SoulSpring and Saavy Naturals Body Care. The core brands will be the focus for investment and expansion.

Our Product Portfolio

GoodWheat™ Consumer Products

The GoodWheat brand is a portfolio of non-GMO wheat-based consumer products that simplifies food ingredient formulations for consumers that are demanding “clean labeling” in their foods, and that are willing to pay a higher retail price for products made with ingredients they recognize. Because GoodWheat increases the nutrient density directly in the primary grains and oils, it provides the mechanism for food formulation simplification naturally and cost effectively to meet evolving consumer demands.

The brand launch is a key element of the company’s go-to-market strategy to achieve greater value for its innovations by participating in downstream consumer revenue opportunities. We designed the brand to make an immediate connection with consumers that products made with GoodWheat meet their demands for healthier wheat options that also taste great.

We are preparing for the launch of a line of food products under our GoodWheat brand, with pasta as the initial category to be introduced in the second quarter of 2022. Our pasta products will utilize our GoodWheat grain as the sole ingredient, providing 4X the fiber of traditional pasta and 9g protein per serving without sacrificing taste. In fact, our research shows taste parity to leading pasta brands, which is unique in the growing better-for-you pasta segment. In addition, GoodWheat is the only better-for-you pasta brand made from one simple ingredient, matching consumers’ preference for cleaner labels. Additional categories of products are slated for launch in 2023.

Zola Coconut Water

We believe that natural hydration and the power of plant-based ingredients are the keys to unlock your inspiration from within, and we are proud to make delicious plant-powered beverages that provide the energy and focus you need to crush your day.

Components of Our Statements of Operations Data

Revenues

We derive our revenues primarily from product sales and royalties.

Product Revenues

Our product revenues consist primarily of sales of Arcadia Wellness products, GoodWheat grain, and GLA products. We recognize revenue from product sales when control of the product is transferred to third-party distributors and manufacturers, collectively “our customers,” which generally occurs upon delivery. Our revenues fluctuate depending on the timing of shipments of product to our customers and are reported net of estimated chargebacks, returns and losses.

Royalty Revenues

Our royalty revenues consist of amounts earned from the sale of commercial products that incorporate our traits by third parties. Our royalty revenues consist of a minimum annual royalty, offset by amounts earned from the sale of products. We recognize the minimum annual royalty on a straight-line basis over the year, and we recognize royalty revenue resulting from the sale of products when the third parties transfer control of the product to their customers, which generally occurs upon shipment. Our royalty revenues can fluctuate depending on the timing of shipments of product by the third parties to their customers.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues relates to the sale of Arcadia Wellness, GoodWheat, and GLA products and consists of the cost of raw materials, including internal and third-party services costs related to procuring, processing, formulating, packaging and shipping our products, as well as in-licensing and royalty fees, any adjustments or write-downs to inventory or prepaid production costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in the discovery, development and testing of our products and other products in development incorporating our traits. These expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and benefits, fees paid to subcontracted research providers, fees associated with in-licensing technology, land leased for field trials, chemicals and supplies, and other external expenses. These costs are expensed as incurred. Additionally, we are required from time to time to make certain milestone payments in connection with the development of technologies in-licensed from third parties. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate from period to period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee costs, professional service fees, broker and sales commission fees, and overhead costs. Our selling, general, and administrative expenses may fluctuate from period to period. In connection with our commercialization activities for our consumer products, we expect to increase our investments in sales and marketing, including additional consulting fees.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

Change in the fair value of contingent consideration is comprised of the fair value remeasurement of the liabilities associated with our contingent consideration.

Gain on sale of property and equipment, net

Gain on sale of fixed assets includes gains from the sale of tangible assets sold above their net book value.

Impairment of property and equipment, net

Impairment of property and equipment, net includes losses from tangible assets due to impairment or recoverability test charges to write down fixed assets to their fair value or recoverability value.

22


 

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, consists of unrealized gains on corporate securities, and interest income on our cash and cash equivalents and investments.

Issuance and offering costs

Issuance and offering costs generally include placement agent, legal, advisory, accounting and filing fees related to financing transactions.

Change in the Estimated Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant Liabilities

Change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant liabilities is comprised of the fair value remeasurement of the liabilities associated with our financing transactions.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision has not been historically significant, as we have incurred losses since our inception. The provision for income taxes consists of state and foreign income taxes. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to: earnings history, projected future outcomes, industry and market trends, and the nature of each of the deferred tax assets in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should be applied against our U.S. deferred tax assets.

Revenues

Product revenues accounted for 98% and 97% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $2.4 million, or 295%, increase in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by sales of the newly acquired brands within Arcadia Wellness, along with $1.3 million of GoodWheat grain inventory sales.

23


 

Royalty revenues accounted for 2% and 3% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $50,000 of royalty revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represents the proportionate share of contracted minimum annual royalty fees.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by $2.6 million, or 304%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is mainly due to the cost of revenues related to the newly acquired brands and the GoodWheat grain inventory sales this quarter, in addition to higher inventory write-downs, which amounted to $368,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $160,000 during the first quarter of 2021. The $368,000 of write-downs in the first quarter of 2022 were primarily to account for Arcadia Wellness inventory at net realizable value. Gross loss, calculated as Total revenues less Cost of revenues, increased by $210,000 from $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $238,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the gross loss was primarily attributable to the higher inventory write-downs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by $764,000, or 66%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the Company's recent focus on commercialization, which has led to lower employee-related expenses, and related activity costs as we right-sized our research teams.

Selling, General, and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $280,000, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by increased commercial and marketing personnel and consulting activities in preparation for new product launches.

Impairment of property and equipment

No impairments of property and equipment were recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we assessed Archipelago’s fixed assets related to cultivating hemp and processing CBD for impairment and recorded a write-down in the amount of $210,000.

Gain on sale of property and equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold some of Archipelago’s property and equipment related to cultivating hemp and processing CBD for net proceeds exceeding net book value in the amount of $328,000. No gains on sale of property and equipment were recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Change in the Estimated Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant Liabilities

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, no change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant liabilities was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 2. Change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant liabilities resulted in a gain of $322,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Seasonality

We and our commercial partners operate in different geographies around the world and conduct field trials used for data generation, which must be conducted during the appropriate growing seasons for particular crops and markets. Often, there is only one crop-growing season per year for certain crops and markets. Similarly, climate conditions and other factors that may influence the sales of our products may vary from season to season and year to year. In particular, weather conditions, including natural disasters such as heavy rains, hurricanes, hail, floods, tornadoes, freezing conditions, drought or fire, may affect the timing and outcome of field trials, which may delay milestone payments and the commercialization of products incorporating our seed traits. In the future, sales of commercial products that incorporate our seed traits will vary based on crop growing seasons and weather patterns within particular regions. Demand for our consumer body care products tends to vary with major holidays and demand for coconut water products is generally higher in the summer months.

The level of seasonality in our business overall is difficult to evaluate at this time due to our relatively limited number of commercialized products, our expansion into new geographical markets and our introduction of new products and traits.

24


 

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

We have funded our operations primarily with the net proceeds from our private and public offerings of our equity securities and debt, as well as proceeds from the sale of our products and payments under license agreements, contract research agreements and government grants. Our principal use of cash is to fund our operations, which are primarily focused on commercializing our products. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $4.6 million and net cash used in operations of $4.9 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company had net losses of $16.1 million and net cash used in operations of $25.9 million.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, and thus raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We may seek to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings, if necessary. We may also consider entering into additional partner arrangements. Any sale of additional equity would result in dilution to our stockholders. Our incurrence of debt would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing our debt could provide for additional operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If we do require additional funds and are not able to secure adequate additional funding, we may be forced to reduce our spending, extend payment terms with our suppliers, liquidate assets, or suspend or curtail planned development programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

non-controlling interest in our joint venture of $750,000, and proceeds from the purchase of ESPP shares of $21,000, which were offset by payments of transaction costs related to the January 2021 PIPE of $1.1 million and principal payments on debt of $2.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since our inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities, or variable interest entities other than Verdeca, which has been disposed of in November 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our 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 may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider our critical accounting policies and estimates to be revenue recognition, determination of the provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, impairments of intangible assets, impairment of property and equipment, and net realizable value of inventory.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Required.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation identified above that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

We currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results.

Dear Stan:

 

On behalf of Arcadia Biosciences, Inc., henceforth the “Company,” it is my pleasure to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer. This letter constitutes the entire agreement relating to the terms of your employment, except for the Confidentiality and Invention Assignment Agreement between you and the Company (which must be executed as a condition of your employment), and the Severance and Change in Control Agreement between you and the Company, to be dated the Effective Date. The terms set forth below shall be effective as of your date of hire, which is anticipated to be 2/2/2022 (the “Effective Date”), conditioned upon such approval.

Title and Base Salary. Your title will be Chief Executive Officer and you will report directly to the Company’s Board of Directors. As of the Effective Date, your annual base salary shall be $350,000. The salary shall be subject to an annual review and may be increased at the Board’s discretion.

Bonus Compensation. In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible for an annual incentive cash bonus, as determined by the Company. Your annual incentive cash bonus shall have a target equal to 50% of your base salary as of the Effective Date, prorated for the portion of year during which you are employed by the Company. The target bonus and its components, the Company performance goals, and your individual objectives shall be determined and documented each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).

Common Stock”) as follows, under the terms and conditions of a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (an “Option”):

 

Strike Price*

Number of Shares

FMV

Number of shares that would make the black-scholes value equal $250,000

 

* FMV = the price of a share of RKDA common stock at close of market on the date of grant, which will be the Effective Date; if FMV is greater than the listed strike price on the date of grant, such strike price shall

be increased to reflect FMV.

Your Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule below:

25% of the shares subject to the Option will be fully vested and exercisable effective as of the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Vesting Date”), subject to your continued service through the Initial Vesting Date, and;
75% of the shares subject to the Option will vest and become exercisable in 36 equal monthly installments following the Initial Vesting Date, with the first such monthly vesting date taking place on February 28, 2023 and subsequent vesting dates on the last day of the next 35 months thereafter (with the last vesting date on January 31, 2026), subject to your continued service through the applicable vesting date.

Other Grants

The Company may grant equity awards to you from time to time, which will be subject to the terms of the applicable equity compensation plan or arrangement in effect at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee will determine in its discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms and conditions of any such awards in accordance with the terms of any applicable equity plan. You should be aware that you may incur federal and state income taxes as a result of your receipt, or the vesting of any equity compensation awards, and it shall be your responsibility to pay any such applicable taxes.

Severance and Change in Control Agreement. You will have the benefits set forth in a Severance and Change in Control Agreement between you and the Company to be executed on the Effective Date, a copy of which is attached hereto.

 

Other Benefits. You will be eligible for all Company adopted benefits, under the terms and conditions of such benefit plans. Your coverage for medical, dental, and vision benefits will become effective on the first of the month following your first thirty (30) days of employment. You will also be given an additional $5,000 each year for health and wellness to use at your discretion. Such benefit does not constitute a Company wellness plan.
