Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Organization | Organization Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company," "Arcadia" or "management"), was incorporated in Arizona in 2002 and maintains its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. 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 May 26, 2025, Arcadia entered into a License Termination and Patent Non-Assert Agreement (the "Bioseed Agreement") with Bioseed Research India, a division of DCM Shriram Limited ("Bioseed"). Pursuant to the Bioseed Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate a license agreement previously entered into by Arcadia and Bioseed in 2012, Arcadia agreed to not assert its rights under a patent held by Arcadia regarding certain products commercialized or that may be commercialized by Bioseed, and Bioseed agreed that if as a result of any such commercialization by Bioseed any amounts become payable to a third party pursuant to an agreement previously entered into between Arcadia and the third party, Bioseed will pay such amounts to the third party. As a result, the related $1.0 million contingent liability was eliminated from the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the second quarter of 2025. 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 September 30, 2025, the Company has received full payment for the $750,000. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 to 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, 2025, 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 July 31, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC pre-effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-4, and the Company subsequently received comments on Amendment No. 1 from the staff of the SEC. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC, the registration statement is still under review by the SEC. On May 16, 2024, Arcadia sold the GoodWheat™ brand to Above Food Corp. ("Above Food") for net consideration of $3.7 million. The strategic decision to sell GoodWheat enabled the Company to monetize its intellectual property. 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 September 30, 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $279.9 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had net loss of $1.0 million and net cash used in operations of $3.9 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 $1.1 million as of September 30, 2025, 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, 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 or sales of assets. 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. In addition, the Company may seek to raise additional funds through the sale of shares of Above Food Ingredients, Inc. ("AFII") that are held by the Company, at such times as those shares may be sold. See Note 7. 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.
