Collaborative Arrangement Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 3: Research and Collaboration Agreements, Sublicense Agreements, and Investments in Privately Held Companies Inzymes ApS On September 18, 2023, Dyadic International (USA) Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, signed a Development and Exclusive License Agreement (the “Inzymes Agreement”) with Inzymes ApS (“Inzymes”), a Denmark corporation, to develop and commercialize certain non-animal dairy enzymes used in the production of food products using Dyadic’s proprietary Dapibus™ platform. Under the terms of the Inzymes Agreement, a research collaboration to develop a basket of dairy enzymes will be fully funded by Inzymes with an upfront payment of $0.6 million and an additional payment payable upon the first commercial sale of product. Dyadic will also be eligible to receive success fees upon the achievement of certain target yields, milestone payments upon first commercial sale of each product and royalties. In October 2023, the Company received an upfront payment of $0.6 million in accordance with the terms of the Inzymes Agreement. The payment consisted of funding for specified product research and development efforts and right of first refusal for certain product candidates. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded research and development revenues of $52,000, in connection with the Inzymes Agreement. A Global Food Ingredient Company On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the “JDA”) with a Global Food Ingredient Company (“GFIC”) to develop and manufacture several animal free ingredient products using the Company’s biotechnologies. Under the initial terms of the JDA, Dyadic was to develop its proprietary production cell lines for the manufacture of animal free ingredient product candidates. The GFIC has completed its one-year funding commitment for the initial phase of research collaboration in an amount approximating $1.35 million, and, pursuant to the GFIC’s rights under the JDA, the Company and the GFIC are conferring to decide whether or not, and if it is possible, to move forward to the next phase of the project. The Company is also considering other funding sources to continue the project. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded research and development revenues of $0 and $339,000, respectively. Janssen On December 16, 2021, the Company entered a Research, License, and Collaboration Agreement (the “Janssen Agreement”) for the manufacture of therapeutic protein candidates using its C1-cell protein production platform with Janssen Biotech, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (“Janssen”). As of March 31, 2023, the upfront payment was recorded in deferred license revenue, current and non-current portion in the amount of $176,000 and $132,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $44,000 of the upfront payment as license revenue and recorded research and development revenues of $189,000 in connection with the Janssen Agreement. On October 2, 2023, Janssen provided written notice to Dyadic that it has decided to wind down the collaboration with an effective end date of December 31, 2023. Alphazyme In 2019 the Company entered into a sub-licensing agreement with Alphazyme, LLC (“Alphazyme”) that was subsequently amended (the “Amended Alphazyme LLC Agreement”). Under the Amended Alphazyme LLC Agreement, Alphazyme obtained additional capital contribution and Dyadic’s ownership was diluted to 1.99%. The Company evaluated the nature of its equity interest investment in Alphazyme and determined that Alphazyme is a VIE due to the capital structure of the entity. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Alphazyme as Dyadic does not have the power to control or direct the activities of Alphazyme that most significantly impact the VIE. As a result, the Company does not consolidate its investment in Alphazyme. The Company reports its investment in Alphazyme under the cost method of accounting, given that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control over Alphazyme. On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, under which the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in Alphazyme, LLC (the “Alphazyme Sale Agreement”). The Company continues to have the potential to receive additional payments based on the future sales of Alphazyme’s existing products, pursuant to the Alphazyme Sale Agreement. The Amended Sublicense Agreement between Dyadic and Alphazyme, which was previously entered on June 24, 2020, remains in effect. Under the Amended Alphazyme Sub-License Agreement, Dyadic is entitled to potential milestone and royalty payments upon the commercialization of Alphazyme products using Dyadic’s proprietary C1-cell protein production platform. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received a total cash payment of $1.3 million from the sale of its equity interest in Alphazyme, LLC. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received a total cash payment of $61,000 from the earn-out related to the sale of its equity interest in Alphazyme, LLC, which was recorded as gain on sale of Alphazyme in the consolidated statement of operations.
