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.
Current report
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
Current report
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.

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.

Going Concern; Material Cash Requirements
Current report
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.

In May 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Arcadia Wellness, LLC (“Arcadia Wellness” or “AW”) acquired the businesses of Eko Holdings, LLC, Lief, LLC, and Zola. The acquisition included Saavy Naturals™, a line of natural body care products, Soul Spring™, a CBD-infused botanical therapy brand in the natural category, and ProVault™, a THC-free CBD sports performance formula made with natural ingredients, providing effective support and recovery for athletes (collectively, "body care brands"). Also included in the purchase was Zola, a coconut water sourced exclusively with sustainably grown coconuts from Thailand. In July 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to license Saavy Naturals to Radiance Beauty and Wellness, Inc. ("Radiance Beauty"). In July 2023, management made the decision to exit the remaining body care brands, Soul Spring and ProVault, as a result of continued pressure on the CBD market due to regulatory uncertainty. Body care operations ceased during the third quarter of 2023.

Our Growth Strategy
Previous report
We believe there are significant opportunities to grow our business by executing the following elements of our strategy:
Previous report
Scale Zola through retail expansion. Based on our research, consumers prefer the clean, crisp taste of Zola to that of other leading coconut water brands. As a result, we plan to continue to invest in trial-driving activities and expand distribution of our Zola coconut water brand through mass market retailers and grocery store chains.
Previous report
Monetization of our wheat trait portfolio. Our proprietary intellectual property ("IP") with multiple non-GMO wheat traits have clear functional benefits, which we utilized to launch the GoodWheat brand into multiple categories. We believe our wheat provides a compelling point of difference and we will continue to evaluate ways to extract value from our proprietary technology.

RG Wheat
Previous report
Many consumers are interested in reducing levels of gluten in their diet. Critically, for some, this is due to having Celiac disease ("CD"), an autoimmune disease that impacts many people worldwide with estimates from 1% of the population in Europe to 3.5% in Mexico. Furthermore, non-celiac gluten sensitivity ("NCGS") impacts an estimated additional 6% of the population. Both CD and NCGS are characterized by sensitivity to dietary gluten. The only effective treatment of CD and NCGS requires removal of gluten sources from the diet. Since required adherence to a gluten-free diet is extremely difficult to accomplish for average consumers, efforts to develop alternative approaches are needed.
Previous report
Our proprietary, non-GMO wheat variety developed using advanced screening and plant breeding techniques have reduced allergenic glutens and increased essential amino acids such as lysine, along with all the other health benefits of high protein wheat. Importantly, this variety also delivers impressively high fiber content at approximately 14 grams per serving compared to 2-3 grams per serving of traditional wheat, providing additional value to health-conscious consumers.
Previous report
Improved Shelf Life of Whole Grain Flour
Previous report
The United States Department of Agriculture recommends that “at least one serving of grains per day must be whole grain-rich” due to evidence that a diet containing whole grains provides a multitude of benefits, including lower risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type-2 diabetes. Despite these health benefits, consumption of whole grain products is negatively affected by the bitter and rancid flavors and odors that accumulate in whole wheat flour after milling. Our improved stability and flavor wheat lines greatly reduced the production of rancid and bitter compounds in milled whole grain flour as it progresses through the supply chain.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and current note receivable will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12-18 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.
Current wording
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.
Previous wording
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 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 product launches. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Current wording
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.
