Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company," "Arcadia" or "management"), was incorporated in Arizona in 2002 and maintains its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, with additional office space in Sacramento, California. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in March 2015.

Arcadia has leveraged its history as a leader in science-based approaches to develop high value products and drive innovation in the consumer goods industry. Since acquiring the assets of Zola in May 2021, Arcadia has provided consumers with a way to rehydrate, reset, and reenergize with Zola coconut water products. Previously, Arcadia developed products primarily in wheat, which it commercialized through the sales of seed, grain and food products, as well as through trait licensing and royalty agreements.

On March 28, 2025, Arcadia entered into an agreement with Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. ("BIOX") pursuant to which BIOX agreed to transfer to the Company all rights and materials relating to certain soy traits that were included in licenses granted by the Company to BIOX in the November 2020 sale of Verdeca. In addition, BIOX agreed to pay a total of $750,000 to the Company. The Company agreed to transfer to BIOX all of the Company's granted patents, pending applications, related materials and documents related to the Company's reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. In addition, the parties agreed to amend a previous agreement between the parties to eliminate any obligation to pay the Company future product royalties under the agreement. The Company recorded a gain of $750,000 on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to this transaction as the patents, pending applications and future product royalties have no carrying value. As of March 31, 2025, the Company received payment for $500,000 of the $750,000. The Company received payment for the remaining $250,000 in April 2025.

On December 4, 2024, Arcadia, Roosevelt Resources LP (“Roosevelt” or the “Partnership”) and Elliott Roosevelt, Jr. and David A. Roosevelt, in their capacities as representatives of the limited partners of the Partnership entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the "Closing"), Arcadia agreed to issue shares of its common stock to the limited partners of Roosevelt in exchange for all of the limited partnership interests of Roosevelt and to the sole member of the general partner of Roosevelt (together with the limited partners, referred to collectively as the “Limited Partners”) in exchange for its membership interest (together with the limited partnership interests of the Limited Partners, the “Partner Interests”) in the limited liability company that is the general partner of Roosevelt (such exchange, contributions and issuances referred to as the “Exchange”). As a result of the Exchange, Arcadia will continue and Roosevelt will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Arcadia. Upon completion of the Exchange, and based on the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (and assuming that no other shares are issuable to third parties in connection with the Closing), the Limited Partners and the Arcadia stockholders as of immediately prior to the Closing will own 90% and 10%, respectively, of the shares of common stock of Arcadia outstanding immediately after the Closing. On February 14, 2025, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC relating to the shares to be issued in the transaction. The registration statement also included a proxy statement/prospectus relating to a meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held to vote on proposals approve the issuance of shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and related proposals. On April 30, 2025, the parties to the Exchange Agreement entered into a First Amendment to Securities Exchange Agreement. See Note 18 for additional information.

 

On May 16, 2024, Arcadia sold the GoodWheat™ brand to Above Food Corp. for net consideration of $3.7 million. The strategic decision to sell GoodWheat enabled the Company to monetize its intellectual property early. The assets sold consisted primarily of grain and finished goods inventories, formulations and trademarks. The disposition of GoodWheat met the "held for sale" criteria per ASC 205-20-45-1B and represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the financial statements and related notes as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 reflect the GoodWheat disposition as a discontinued operation. The disposition of GoodWheat resulted in a loss of $1,500 during the second quarter of 2024. Refer to Notes 3 and 7 for further details of the transaction.

On May 14, 2024, Arcadia sold its non-GMO Resistant Starch (“RS”) durum wheat trait to longtime partner Corteva Agriscience (“Corteva”) for total cash consideration of $4.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Arcadia retained certain rights to use the RS durum wheat trait. Refer to Note 9 for further details of the transaction.

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”), combined the Company’s 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. The non-controlling partner’s equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. For a discussion of the reclassification of the financial presentation of our former GoodWheat brand reported as discontinued operations, see Note 3. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.

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 Company has financed its operations primarily through equity financings. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $276.3 million, cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million and current note receivable of $2.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $2.6 million and net cash used in operations of $1.6 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had net loss of $7.0 million and net cash used in operations of $9.6 million.

With cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million and current note receivable of $2.0 million as of March 31, 2025, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and current note receivable 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, which 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.

In December 2024, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Roosevelt Resources, LP. However, the Company may still seek to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. 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 requires additional funds and is unable to secure adequate additional funding on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be forced to reduce spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, or liquidate assets. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require additional income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective either prospectively or retrospectively, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on our income tax disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update, among other things, require quantitative disclosures for employee compensation, selling expenses and purchases of inventory. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statements and disclosures.

3. Discontinued Operations

On May 16, 2024, the Company sold the GoodWheat brand to Above Food. GoodWheat operations ceased during the second quarter of 2024.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20, the Company has separately reported the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the results of the discontinued operations as separate components on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.

4. 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. 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.

The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during 2025 or 2024. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. For accounts receivable and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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. The note receivable is recorded at amortized cost. The amortized cost of the note receivable is considered approximate fair value due to its variable interest rate.

The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of a contingent liability resulting from the Anawah, Inc. ("Anawah") acquisition as described in Note 14, as well as preferred investment options related to the March 2023 Private Placement and August 2022 Registered Direct offerings.

The contingent liability related to the Anawah acquisition was measured and recorded on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 preferred investment option liabilities were measured and recorded on a recurring basis using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

7. Note Receivable and Embedded Derivatives

On May 16, 2024, the Company sold the GoodWheat brand to Above Food for net consideration of $3.7 million. The assets sold consisted primarily of grain and finished goods inventories, formulations and trademarks. A loss of $1,500 was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2024, related to the sale.

In connection with the transaction, Arcadia paid to Above Food $2.0 million and received a $6.0 million promissory note dated May 14, 2024. The promissory note has a term of three years and accrues interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate. On each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the promissory note, accrued interest and $2.0 million of principal are payable to Arcadia. The promissory note contains contingent features, including an option that requires Above Food to cause its parent entity, Above Food Ingredients Inc. (“Parent Company”), to issue to the Company publicly traded stock of Parent Company in exchange for the cancellation of a portion of the principal of the promissory note, as well as default provisions.

The Company accounted for the promissory note as a note receivable in accordance with ASC 310. The Company did not elect the fair value option and since the Company intends to and has the ability to hold the promissory note to maturity, it has been classified as held for investment and is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at amortized cost. The first installment payment due in 2025 is classified as current and the remaining installment payments due in 2026 and 2027 are classified as noncurrent on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The promissory note was recorded at a discount of $545,000, which is being amortized over the term of the promissory note using the effective interest method. The Company recognized discount amortization and interest of $69,000 and $111,000 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

Embedded Derivatives

The contingent features of the promissory note were evaluated for bifurcation in accordance with ASC 815. The contingent features requiring bifurcation had an estimated fair value of $250,000 as of the transaction date and as of March 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of the contingent features is reported in note receivable – noncurrent on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

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.

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 our non-GMO RS durum wheat trait in North America. This collaborative arrangement was a contractual agreement with Corteva and involved joint operating activities where both Arcadia and Corteva were active participants in the activities of the collaboration. Arcadia and Corteva participated in the research and development, and Arcadia had the primary responsibility for the intellectual property strategy while Corteva generally led the marketing and commercialization efforts. Both parties were exposed to significant risks and rewards of the collaboration and the agreement included both cost sharing and profit sharing. The activities were performed with no guarantee of either technological or commercial success.

10


 

The Company accounted 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.

On May 14, 2024, the Company sold its RS durum wheat trait to Corteva. Under the terms of the agreement, Arcadia retained certain rights to use the RS durum wheat trait. The Company received $4.0 million in cash payment from Corteva during the year ended December 31, 2024 and recorded a gain of the same amount as the trait had no carrying value on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to the transaction.

10. Leases

Operating Leases

As of March 31, 2025, the Company leases office space in Dallas, TX and Sacramento, CA. 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.

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. In January 2024, the Company exercised its option to renew the facility lease in American Falls, Idaho for one year through December 31, 2024. The lease renewal resulted in recognition of additional right-of-use asset and lease liability of $86,000 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company subsequently terminated the facility lease in American Falls, Idaho effective July 2024.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases consisted of the following (in thousands):

Liability Classified Preferred Investment Options

The preferred investment options issued in connection with the March 2023 Private Placement and August 2022 Registered Direct offerings contain certain early settlement provisions that preclude them from equity classification and therefore were accounted for as liabilities at the date of issuance and are adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date. The change in fair value of the options liabilities is recorded as change in fair value of common stock warrant and option liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The key terms and activity of the liability classified preferred investment options are summarized as follows:

12. 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 3,860 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance, which included 259 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 maximum number of shares that may be awarded to any individual employee, including our directors and officers, during any calendar year was 9,375 shares. 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.

On June 25, 2024, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2015 Plan that increased the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2015 Plan by 200,000 shares and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable to employees, including our officers and directors, in any fiscal year from 9,375 shares to 50,000 shares. On February 2, 2022, former president and chief executive officer of the Company, Stanley Jacot, Jr. was hired. The Company granted Mr. Jacot an inducement stock option to purchase 7,902 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company 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 were issued outside of the 2015 Plan, but are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 338,341 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan, of which 147,038 shares of common stock are available for future grant. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 9 and 191,303 options are outstanding under the 2006 and 2015 Plans, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 40 and 205,236 options were outstanding under the 2006 and 2015 Plans, respectively. A total of 199 inducement options were outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

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 its Board of Directors for each of the respective periods.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $251,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation grants that will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 1.0 years.

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.

 

There were no option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

The Company recognized $78,000 and $138,000 of compensation expense for stock options awards during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025, the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP is 1,108. The ESPP provides for automatic annual increases in the shares available for purchase beginning on January 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2025, 10,171 shares had been issued under the ESPP. The Company recorded $3,000 and $2,000 of ESPP related compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

13. 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% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

In February 2023, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service that our Archipelago joint venture was selected for audit for the 2021 tax year. The Company received the IRS Notice of Proposed Partnership Adjustment during the third quarter of 2024, accepted the adjustments, and submitted the push out election forms during the first quarter of 2025, to push the audit adjustments to the partners. Arcadia will adjust their balance of available tax net operating losses with the filing of their 2024 income tax returns, which have already been adjusted for financial statements purposes, and expects to incur no penalties or interest due.

The Company is currently not under audit for state purposes.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases office space 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. See Note 10.

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, actions, claims, suits, or investigations arising from the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, claims relating to our products, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation or other proceedings could divert management time and attention, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses, or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Except as described below, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that the Company believes are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of associated cost and diversion of management time.

On March 6, 2025, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Francisco by the Center for Environmental Health, a non-profit corporation (the "plaintiff"), against approximately 28 named companies, including several major retailers and manufacturers such as Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Smart & Final Stores, and Raleys, as well as many companies that manufacture and market coconut water products, including the Company, alleging violations of the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, known as Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires, among things, that a specific warning appear on any product sold in California containing a substance listed by that state as having been found to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. The complaint contends that the defendants violated Proposition 65 by knowingly and intentionally exposing individuals in California to Bisphenol A ("BPA") in coconut water containers. The complaint states that the plaintiff's claims against the Company are limited to the Company's coconut water products packaged in cans. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, including an injunction prohibiting defendants from offering coconut water products sold in California without either reducing the BPA level in the product such that no Proposition 65 warnings are required or providing prior clear and reasonable warnings, and civil penalties. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not responded to the complaint, and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Due in part to the early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

As disclosed above, on December 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with Roosevelt providing for the Exchange transaction, and on February 14, 2025, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, including a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, relating to shares to be issued in the transaction and a meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held to approve the issuance of shares in the transaction and related proposals. Since the date of filing of the registration statement, the Company has received several letters (the "Demand Letters") from counsel to purported stockholders of the Company. Each letter asserts that the preliminary proxy statement included in the registration statement was deficient and demanded that the alleged deficiencies be rectified. The Demand Letters allege, among other matters, that corrective disclosures are required to be included in the registration statement to address alleged material misstatements and omissions in the registration statement and that the proxy statement/prospectus contains materially incomplete and misleading information concerning, among other matters, financial projections, financial analysis performed by the entity that provided a fairness opinion to the Company's board of directors in connection with the transaction, potential conflicts of interest involving the Company's financial advisor in connection with the transaction and the Company's insiders, and possible breach of fiduciary duties by the directors of executive officers of the Company in connection with the transaction. Certain of the Demand Letter include a request for inspection of certain books and records of the Company pursuant to Delaware corporate law. It is possible that additional, similar letters may be received, or complaints filed. If this occurs, except as may be required by law, the Company does not intend to announce the filing of any such additional demand letter or any such complaint. The Company believes that the allegations in the Demand Letters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against any complaint that may be filed.

The matters described in this section could divert management time and attention from the Company, and could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses. An adverse outcome in any such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Contingent Liability Related to the Anawah Acquisition

In June 2005, the Company completed its agreement and plan of merger and reorganization with Anawah, to purchase Anawah’s food and agricultural research company through a non-cash stock purchase. Pursuant to the merger with Anawah, and in accordance with 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. During 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 2016, one of the programs previously accrued for was abandoned and another program previously abandoned was reactivated. During 2019, the Company determined that one of the technologies was no longer active and decided to abandon the previously accrued program. During March 2025, the Company decided to abandon one of the two remaining technologies. As of March 31, 2025, the Company continues to pursue or is otherwise liable for a development program using the one remaining technology and believes that the contingent liability is probable. As a result, $1.0 million remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as an other noncurrent liability.

Contracts

The Company has exited all contract research agreements and has no additional funding commitments previously associated with these agreements.

The Company licenses certain technologies via executed agreements (“In-Licensing Agreements”) that were used to develop and advance the Company’s own technologies. These technologies have subsequently been sublicensed to unrelated parties.

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. 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.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company has one operating and reportable segment, which derives revenue primarily from the sale of Zola coconut water. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM uses net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. The CODM evaluates segment business performance based primarily on consolidated net income (loss) (from continuing operations) as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for net income (loss) when making decisions. Segment assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the consolidated balance sheets.

Information about the Company’s segment operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are as follows (in thousands):

16. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 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 (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants.

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, one of the Company’s largest stockholders, 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 was $30,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as amounts due to related parties.

Product sales related to intellectual property developed under research funding from BHL ceased as of December 31, 2024. The royalty fees due to JSF for sales in 2024 were paid in April 2025 and no future royalty fees are expected.

18. Subsequent Events

 

On April 30, 2025, the parties to the Exchange Agreement entered into a First Amendment to Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amended certain provisions of the Exchange Agreement, including without limitation the following: (i) the “Termination Date” provided for in one of the closing conditions described in the Exchange Agreement, which allows a party to terminate the Exchange Agreement if the Closing (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) has not occurred by May 15, 2015, was amended to be August 15, 2025; (ii) the provisions governing the number of shares of common stock that are issuable to the Limited Partners of Roosevelt were amended so that the number is calculated such that the number of shares to be issued to the Limited Partners equals 90% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the Closing giving effect to the number of shares issuable to the Limited Partners (and ignoring and not giving effect to any other shares of common stock that may be issuable to any other persons in connection with or immediately after the Closing) (the “Exchange Shares”), without any possible upward or downward adjustments to the number of Exchange Shares to be issued based on the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as of the Closing Date; and (iii) certain definitions related to determination of the Company’s cash amount at the Closing Date were eliminated.

 

As discussed in Notes 1 and 7 above, on May 14, 2024, Arcadia and its wholly-owned subsidiary Arcadia Wellness, LLC entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), Promissory Note and a related Security Agreement, with Above Food Corp., a corporation formed under the laws of Saskatchewan (“Parent”), and Above Food Ingredients Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (together with Parent, “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Arcadia and Wellness sold to Buyer certain assets relating to Arcadia’s GoodWheat business and transferred to Buyer $2,000,000 of cash. As consideration for the purchased assets and the $2,000,000 cash payment, Parent and Buyer issued a promissory note, dated May 14, 2024, in favor of Arcadia in the original principal amount of $6,000,000 (“Promissory Note”). On each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Promissory Note, accrued interest and $2,000,000 of principal are payable to Arcadia. The Promissory Note includes provisions that allow the Company, during certain times and by means of a notice to Parent (a "Notice"), to require Parent to issue to Arcadia a number of publicly traded shares of Parent's common stock ("Parent Shares"), and if Arcadia delivered such a notice, Parent is obligated to issue the shares to Arcadia within three business days after delivery of the notice. The Promissory Note also provided that if Parent becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company with shares listed on a national securities exchange, then the term "Parent Shares" refers to the publicly traded common stock of such parent company, and Parent agreed to cause such entity to issue and register such shares as provided in the Promissory Note. Sometime after the date of the Promissory Note, Parent became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Above Food Ingredients Inc. (“AFII”), a Canadian company and foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Promissory Note provides that the issuance of the Parent Shares will constitute a prepayment of the final installment payment of $2,000,000 principal of the Promissory Note that would otherwise be due on the third anniversary of the Promissory Note, but that the Buyer remains obligated to pay the first two installments of principal and interest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of the Promissory Note.

 

On May 1, 2025, Arcadia delivered a Notice to Parent pursuant to the provisions of Promissory Note, to require Parent to cause AFII to issue Parent Shares to Arcadia. The Notice indicated that pursuant to the provisions of the Promissory Note regarding the calculation and determination of the number of Parent Shares that are issuable in connection with delivery of a Notice, the number of Parent Shares issuable are approximately 3.5 million shares (the "Prepayment Shares") to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Promissory Note. The Notice also requested, pursuant to the provisions of the Promissory Note, that Buyer begin preparation of a Form F-1 registration statement covering the resale from time to time of the Prepayment Shares by Arcadia. The Promissory Note provisions require that this registration statement be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by 20 calendar days from delivery of the Notice. Buyer and AFII have acknowledged receipt of the Notice and have indicated their intention to respond to the Notice.

Overview

Arcadia has leveraged its history as a leader in science-based approaches to develop high value products and drive innovation in the consumer goods industry. Since acquiring the assets of Zola in May 2021, Arcadia has provided consumers with a way to rehydrate, reset, and reenergize with Zola coconut water products. Previously, Arcadia developed products primarily in wheat, which it commercialized through the sales of seed, grain and food ingredients and products, and through trait licensing and royalty agreements.

On May 14, 2024, Arcadia sold its non-GMO Resistant Starch (“RS”) durum wheat trait to longtime partner Corteva Agriscience (“Corteva”) for total cash consideration of $4.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Arcadia retained certain rights to use the RS durum wheat trait. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the transaction.

On May 16, 2024, Arcadia sold the GoodWheat™ brand to Above Food for net consideration of $3.7 million. The strategic decision to sell GoodWheat enabled the Company to monetize its intellectual property early. The assets sold consisted primarily of grain and finished goods inventories, formulations and trademarks. The disposition of GoodWheat represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the financial statements and related notes as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 reflect the GoodWheat disposition as a discontinued operation. The disposition of GoodWheat resulted in a loss of $1,500 during the second quarter of 2024. Refer to Notes 3 and 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the transaction.

On December 4, 2024, Arcadia, Roosevelt Resources LP (“Roosevelt” or the “Partnership”) and Elliott Roosevelt, Jr. and David A. Roosevelt, in their capacities as representatives of the limited partners of the Partnership entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the "Closing"), Arcadia agreed to issue shares of its common stock to the limited partners of Roosevelt in exchange for all of the limited partnership interests of Roosevelt and to the sole member of the general partner of Roosevelt (together with the limited partners, referred to collectively as the “Limited Partners”) in exchange for its membership interest (together with the limited partnership interests of the Limited Partners, the “Partner Interests”) in the limited liability company that is the general partner of Roosevelt (such exchange, contributions and issuances referred to as the “Exchange”). As a result of the Exchange, Arcadia will continue and Roosevelt will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Arcadia. Upon completion of the Exchange, and based on the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (and assuming that no other shares are issuable to third parties in connection with the Closing), the Limited Partners and the Arcadia stockholders as of immediately prior to the Closing will own 90% and 10%, respectively, of the shares of common stock of Arcadia outstanding immediately after the Closing. On February 14, 2025, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC relating to the shares to be issued in the transaction. The registration statement also included a proxy statement/prospectus relating to a meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held to vote on proposals approve the issuance of shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and related proposals.

On April 30, 2025, the parties to the Exchange Agreement entered into a First Amendment to Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amended certain provisions of the Exchange Agreement, including without limitation the following: (i) the “Termination Date” provided for in one of the closing conditions described in the Exchange Agreement, which allows a party to terminate the Exchange Agreement if the Closing (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) has not occurred by May 15, 2015, was amended to be August 15, 2025; (ii) the provisions governing the number of shares of common stock that are issuable to the Limited Partners of Roosevelt were amended so that the number is calculated such that the number of shares to be issued to the Limited Partners equals 90% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the Closing giving effect to the number of shares issuable to the Limited Partners (and ignoring and not giving effect to any other shares of common stock that may be issuable to any other persons in connection with or immediately after the Closing) (the “Exchange Shares”), without any possible upward or downward adjustments to the number of Exchange Shares to be issued based on the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as of the Closing Date; and (iii) certain definitions related to determination of the Company’s cash amount at the Closing Date were eliminated.

On March 28, 2025, Arcadia entered into an agreement with Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. ("BIOX") pursuant to which BIOX agreed to transfer to the Company all rights and materials relating to certain soy traits that were included in licenses granted by the Company to BIOX in the November 2020 sale of Verdeca. In addition, BIOX agreed to pay a total of $750,000 to the Company. The Company agreed to transfer to BIOX all of the Company's granted patents, pending applications, related materials and documents related to the Company's reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. In addition, the parties agreed to amend a previous agreement between the parties to eliminate any obligation to pay the Company future product royalties under the agreement. The Company recorded a gain of $750,000 on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to this transaction as the patents, pending applications and future product royalties have no carrying value. As of March 31, 2025, the Company received payment for $500,000 of the $750,000. The Company received payment for the remaining $250,000 in April 2025.

Tariffs

On April 9, 2025, baseline tariffs imposed by the U.S. government went into effect, and at this time, the U.S. government has delayed the effective date for additional country-specific tariffs until July 2025. The impact of tariffs on the Company remains uncertain, and it is possible that features of the tariff policy may change before the country-specific tariffs take effect. We are closely monitoring the tariff landscape and are in discussions with our business partners to explore ways to mitigate the impact of tariffs on the Company. For additional information regarding the potential impacts of tariffs on our business and results of operations, see Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.

Our Products

Zola Coconut Water

Founded in 2002, Zola became part of the Arcadia family of brands in May 2021. Sourced from Thailand, Zola is a pure, natural, 100% coconut water with a crisp, clean taste that’s slightly sweet and refreshing. Naturally hydrating and rich in electrolytes, Zola is Non-GMO Project Verified and only contains 60 calories per serving. In taste tests, Zola beat competitors 2 to 1, and the Company believes that it is a superior way to rehydrate, reset and reenergize. Zola flavors include original, original with pulp, espresso, lime and pineapple.

Agronomic Wheat Traits

As described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements above, our March 2025 agreement transferred all of our patents, pending applications, related materials and documents related to the Company's reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. In addition, due to various prior agreements and transactions, Arcadia no longer retains any effective commercialization rights to its resistant starch portfolio of patents. As a result, the Company does not expect to receive any license or royalty fees in the future related to any wheat-based intellectual property rights.

Discontinued Operations

As mentioned above, Arcadia exited the GoodWheat brand. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20, Arcadia has separately reported the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the results of the discontinued operations as separate components on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on discontinued operations.

Components of Our Statements of Operations Data

Revenues

Product revenues

Product revenues consist primarily of sales of Zola 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. Revenues fluctuate depending on the timing of shipments of product to our customers and are reported net of estimated chargebacks, returns and losses.

Operating Expenses

These expenses currently consist primarily of fees paid to product formulation consultants and are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company is required from time to time to make certain milestone payments in connection with the development of technologies in-licensed from third parties.

Impairment of property and equipment

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

Gain on sale of intangible assets

Gain on sale of intangible assets consists of the gain on sale of our reduced gluten and oxidative stability patent portfolios in March 2025.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration

 

Change in the fair value of contingent consideration is comprised of the gain associated with the reduction of our contingent liability as the result of a decision to abandon a program that was previously accrued.

Revenues

Product revenues increased $213,000, or 22%, and consisted entirely of Zola coconut water sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Zola revenues increased $567,000, or 90% during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily driven by an increase in distribution resulting in higher sales volume. The Company did not implement any price increases during 2024 or the first quarter of 2025. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $354,000 from GLA oil.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased by $211,000, or 45%, and consisted entirely of Zola coconut water costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Zola cost of revenues increased $244,000, or 56% during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by the increase in Zola unit sales. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $33,000 from GLA oil.

Research and development

Research and development expenses decreased by $6,000, or 100%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 reflecting our strategy to develop the Zola brand by leveraging our existing resources and minimizing new investment.

Impairment of property and equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairment of property and equipment held for sale related to Archipelago of $36,000. There was no such impairment of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

23


 

Gain on sale of intangible assets

During 2025, the Company realized a gain of $750,000 related to the sale of our reduced gluten and oxidative stability patent portfolios in March 2025. There was no such gain recorded during 2024.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the change in the fair value of contingent consideration was due to the gain of $1.0 million associated with the reduction of our contingent liability as the result of a decision to abandon a program with respect to which a contingent liability was previously accrued. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details. There was no change in fair value of contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Selling, general, and administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $324,000, or 16%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by operating costs and employee related costs in 2024 that were absent in 2025.

Interest income

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized interest income of $207,000, of which $180,000 was related to discount amortization and accrued interest on the promissory note from Above Food. The remaining difference was related to interest from investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized interest income of $45,000 from investments.

Other income, net

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized other income of $0 and $3,000, respectively.

Change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant and option liabilities

The change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant and option liabilities resulted in a gain of $1.9 million and $593,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to the change in the estimated fair value of the liability classified preferred investment options issued in connection with the March 2023 PIPE and August 2022 Registered Direct Offering financing transactions.

Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations for GoodWheat was $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflecting the sale of the GoodWheat brand and related assets to Above Food during the second quarter of 2024. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on discontinued operations.

Seasonality

The coconut water category, similar to other beverages, is seasonal. Generally, sales volumes are highest during our second and third fiscal quarters when the weather is warmer.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

We have funded our operations primarily with the net proceeds from our private and public offerings of our equity securities as well as proceeds from the sale of our products and payments under license agreements. Our principal use of cash is to fund our operations, which are primarily focused on commercializing our products. Our contractual obligations are primarily related to our operating leases for facilities, land and equipment. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million and current note receivable of $2.0 million. In April 2025, we received $250,000 representing the remaining payment from BIOX pursuant to our March 28, 2025 agreement, pursuant to which we transferred all of our granted patents, pending applications, related materials and documents related to our reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $2.6 million and net cash used in operations of $1.6 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had net losses of $7.0 million and net cash used in operations of $9.6 million.

Going Concern; Material Cash Requirements

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 these financial statements, which 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.

In December 2024, we entered into an agreement with Roosevelt Resources, LP regarding a business combination transaction. However, we may still seek to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. The sale of additional equity would result in dilution to our 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 we require additional funds and are unable to secure adequate additional funding at terms acceptable to us, we may be forced to reduce spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets, or initiate dissolution and liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings. Any of these actions could materially harm the business, results of operations and financial condition.

As noted above, through March 31, 2025, we have incurred substantial losses and may be required to obtain additional cash resources in the near term in order to support our operations and activities. The availability of required additional funding cannot be assured. In addition, an adverse outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings in which we are or could become involved could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. No assurance can be given as to the timing or ultimate success of obtaining future funds. If we are not able to obtain additional required funding or if our business combination with Roosevelt Resources, LP is not completed, our cash resources would be significantly limited and could become depleted, and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations or seek dissolution and liquidation, or bankruptcy protection. In the event of dissolution and liquidation proceedings or bankruptcy proceedings, the creditors of Arcadia would have first claim on the value of the assets of Arcadia which, other than remaining cash, would most likely be liquidated in one or more transactions or a bankruptcy sale, and the common stock of Arcadia likely would have little or no value. Arcadia can give no assurance as to the magnitude of the net proceeds of such a sale and whether such proceeds and available cash would be sufficient to satisfy Arcadia’ obligations to its creditors, let alone to permit any distribution to its equity holders.

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 was disposed of in November 2020.

Critical Accounting 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 estimates to be revenue recognition, determination of the provision for income taxes, 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, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, 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.
