Cibus, Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business and Organization

Cibus, Inc. (Cibus or the Company and formerly Calyxt, Inc.)completed the Merger Transactions (as defined below under “—Completion of Merger Transactions”) on May 31, 2023, with Cibus Global, LLC (Cibus Global), and the Company carries on its business through Cibus Global and its subsidiaries. Cibus is the sole managing member of Cibus Global and as sole managing member, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cibus Global. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Cibus Global and its subsidiaries and reports redeemable noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Cibus Global held by the other members of Cibus Global.

Cibus Global, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 10, 2019. Immediately prior to the effective date of this formation, Cibus Global was organized as a British Virgin Islands company (Cibus Global, Ltd.), which was formed on September 11, 2008.

Cibus Global is a plant trait company using gene editing technologies to develop and license gene edited plant traits that improve farming productivity or produce renewable low carbon plant products.

Completion of Merger Transactions

On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the business combination transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 13, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 14, 2023 (as amended, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transactions), by and among Legacy Calyxt; Calypso Merger Subsidiary, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; Cibus Global; and certain blocker entities party thereto. Among other things, as part of the Merger Transactions, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was further amended and restated (the Amended Certificate of Incorporation). The Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure, and the Company’s only material asset consists of membership units of Cibus Global. The Amended Certificate of Incorporation designatestwo classes of the Company’s common stock: (i) Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), which shares have full voting and economic rights, and (ii) Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class B Common Stock), which shares have full voting, but no economic rights. Each share of Legacy Calyxt’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Legacy Common Stock) existing and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Transactions remained outstanding as a share of Class A Common Stock without any conversion or exchange thereof.

At the closing of the Merger Transactions, the Company contributed all of its assets and liabilities to Cibus Global, in exchange for common units of Cibus Global (Common Units). The Company issued an aggregate of 16,527,484 shares of Class A Common Stock (including 1,019,282 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock) and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock to Cibus Global equityholders, as consideration in the Merger Transactions, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon closing, Legacy Calyxt stockholders held approximately 4.8 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and legacy holders of membership units of Cibus Global (including profits interest units and warrants) held approximately 95.2 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

The primary purpose of the merger was to bring together the technology platforms and facilities of two pioneering companies to create a leading agricultural technology company for the development of productivity traits and to consolidate significant patented plant agricultural gene editing technology.

Reverse Stock Splits

Prior to the Merger Transactions, Legacy Calyxt effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the First Reverse Stock Split) of the Legacy Common Stock, which became effective on April 24, 2023. The First Reverse Stock Split was reflected on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning with the opening of trading on April 25, 2023.

Immediately prior to the Merger Transactions, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse stock split (the Second Reverse Stock Split and, together with the First Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Splits) of the Legacy Common Stock, which became effective on May 31, 2023. The Second Reverse Stock Split was reflected on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning with the opening of trading of the Class A Common Stock on June 1, 2023.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits and instead, fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share number. The par value and authorized shares of Legacy Common Stock and preferred stock of the Company were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Splits.

Pursuant to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation, following the consummation of the Merger Transactions, the Company is authorized to issue up to 310,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, divided into (A) up to 210,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (B) up to 90,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and (ii)

up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Splits.

Share information related to the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2024, is as follows:

Class A Restricted Stock

In connection with the Merger Transactions, the Company issued restricted shares of Class A Common Stock (Class A Restricted Stock), which remain subject to vesting conditions, to Cibus Global Members that held unvested profits interest units at the time of the consummation of the Merger Transactions. Shares of Class A Restricted Stock are considered to be legally issued and outstanding as of the date of grant, notwithstanding that the shares remain subject to risk of forfeiture if the vesting conditions for such shares are not met. For financial statement presentation purposes, Class A Restricted Stock is treated as issued, but will only be treated as outstanding after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, unvested shares of Class A Restricted Stock are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company’s net loss was $282.7 million and cash used for operating activities was $58.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, with additional capital resources accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, from the capital markets, including through offerings of common stock or other securities.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $14.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $19.9 million of current liabilities.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the next several years. Over the longer term and until the Company can generate cash flows sufficient to support its operating capital requirements, it expects to finance a portion of future cash needs through (i) cash on hand, (ii) commercialization activities, which may result in various types of revenue streams from future product development agreements and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments, annual license fees, and royalties, (iii) government or other third party funding, (iv) public or private equity or debt financings, or (v) a combination of the foregoing.

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (Sales Agreement) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (Stifel). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell through Stifel, from time-to-time and at its sole discretion (and subject to the applicable baby shelf limitations described below), shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million (ATM Facility). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 974,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million from the ATM Facility.

In January 2025, the Company issued 4,340,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock and, in lieu of Class A Common Stock to one of the Company’s then executive officers and other investors, pre-funded warrants (2025 Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase 4,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock both together with an accompanying common warrant (2025 Common Warrants) to purchase up to 4,340,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, in a registered direct offering (January 2025 Follow-On Offering). The combined offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock and the accompanying 2025 Common Warrant was $2.50. The combined offering price for each 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant and the accompanying 2025 Common Warrant was $2.4999. The 2025 Common Warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and are only exercisable after the Company receives certain approvals from its stockholders. The 2025 Common Warrants will be exercisable forfive years following the date of receipt of the stockholder approvals, subject to ownership limitations. The 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable until fully exercised at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Class A Common Stock, subject to ownership limitations. Through the date of this filing, the Company has received net proceeds related to the January 2025 Follow-On Offering of approximately $21.4 million after deducting approximately $1.2 million for the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Company has an effective shelf registration on Form S-3 on file with the SEC; however, amounts available under the shelf registration statement, including pursuant to the ATM Facility, are significantly limited because the Company’s public float is less than $75,000,000. Subject to Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, which is referred to as the “baby shelf” rules, for so long as the Company’s public float is less than $75,000,000, it may not use the Form S-3 to sell more than the equivalent of one-third of its public float during any 12 consecutive months pursuant to the baby shelf rules.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

Management will need to raise additional capital to support its business plans to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company instituted cost reduction initiatives designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its priority objectives. Such initiatives included reductions in headcount, reductions in capital expenditures, streamlining of independent contractor utilization and cost management, reduced and prioritized spending on business travel, careful management of contract approvals to ensure they align with priority objectives, and prioritization of near-term payment obligations.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, Cibus announced its restructuring initiative (Restructuring Initiative), which included a reduction in its workforce by approximately 26 full-time employees. The Company incurred a one-time cash expense of approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 in connection with the reduction in workforce, primarily related to accrued vacation and severance payments along with approximately $0.2 million of one-time non-cash stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested awards of Class A Restricted Stock (RSAs) approved by the Board of Directors of Cibus. The Restructuring Initiative was designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses, including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company’s trait development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California upon expiration in August 2025.

These cost reduction initiatives alone will not be sufficient to forestall a cash deficit. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to implement additional, more stringent cost reduction measures to manage liquidity, and the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including as part of a strategic alternative, it could result in substantial dilution to its existing stockholders and increased fixed payment obligations, and these securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s shares of common stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Any of these events could significantly impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.

Basis of Presentation

Cibus, Inc. has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) and has included the accounts of Cibus, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Although estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Key estimates made by the Company include revenue recognition, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of equity-based awards and related equity-based compensation expense, valuation of intangible assets, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the assumptions underlying the determination of the estimated incremental borrowing rate for the determination of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, valuation of warrant liabilities, and the valuation of the Royalty Liability (defined below under “Royalty Liability - Related Parties”).

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in these consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Under ASC 820, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts its business. ASC 820 clarifies fair value should be based on assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for notes payable with similar terms and consideration of default and credit risk, the carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking and money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts billed relating to contracted research and development (R&D) services provided. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides an allowance for receivables when collection is doubtful. Accounts receivable are written off when management believes that all efforts to collect the amounts outstanding have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management based on evaluations of its historical bad debt, current collection experience, and estimate of remaining collectability. Bad debt expense is recorded as necessary to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for credit losses which was $0 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Property, Plant, and Equipment, net

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of buildings, lab equipment, furniture, and computer equipment and software is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from three totwenty years. Amortization of leasehold improvements are recorded using a straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining life of the lease. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful life of an asset, are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Assets in progress include the construction of lab equipment and software to be used in the Company’s facility. The assets will be placed in service when the construction is completed and will be amortized over the useful life of the asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the recoverability of the net book value of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition (Triggering Event). In cases where a Triggering Event occurs and undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to an amount by which the net book value exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a Triggering Event and assessed its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment, however, the assets net book values did not exceed their fair values based on expected undiscounted future cash flows and no impairment loss was recognized. The Company hasnot recognized any impairment losses related to long-lived assets or finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase consideration paid in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or when events and circumstances indicate that fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually as of November 1 each year. The Company hasone reporting unit. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount or elects to bypass such assessment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, it performs a quantitative test by determining the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

Acquired in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets and developed technology and trade names finite-lived intangible assets are related to the Merger Transactions. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period over which the Company expects to realize economic value related to the intangible assets. In-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized until they are determined to be ready for their intended use. The acquired in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if an impairment indicator is identified. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of November 1 each year. During theyear ended December 31, 2023, the Company impaired all of the in-process R&Dindefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Merger Transactions with Cibus Global. As such, there was no longer a carrying value for the Company’s in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2023.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company began its annual impairment test by performing the step zero qualitative assessment. Based on its assessment of qualitative factors, including a decline in the Company’s stock price and its strategic realignment announced in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the carrying values of its reporting unit and in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their fair values. The Company performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that the carrying values of its in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets and its reporting unit both exceeded their fair values. Management makes critical assumptions and estimates in completing impairment assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company utilized the discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value for its goodwill and the multi-period excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s cash flow projections look several years into the future and include assumptions on variables such as future royalties and operating margins, economic conditions, probability of success, market competition, inflation, and discount rates. The Company utilized its most recent cash flow projections based upon its strategic realignment announced in the fourth quarter of 2023, including a range of outcomes, along with a long-term growth rate of 3 percent and a range of discount rates between 29 percent and 32 percent. The Company determined its goodwill and in-process R&D indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired by $150.4 million and $99.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a Triggering Event and assessed its goodwill for impairment. The Company considered the decline in its stock price since its last annual assessment and concluded it was more likely than not that its goodwill would be impaired. The Company then performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that its goodwill was impaired. Management makes critical assumptions and estimates in completing impairment assessments of goodwill. The Company utilized the discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value for its goodwill. The Company’s cash flow projections look several years into the future and include assumptions on variables such as future royalties and operating margins, economic conditions, probability of success, market competition, inflation, and discount rates. The Company utilized its most recent cash flow projections in combination with the decline of the Company’s stock price as of September 30, 2024, to calculate the fair value of its goodwill using a long-term growth rate of 3 percent and a discount rate of 37 percent, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company determined its goodwill was impaired by $181.4 million, which was recorded during the third quarter of 2024 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company began its annual impairment test by performing the step zero qualitative assessment. Based on its assessment of qualitative factors since its last review on September 30, 2024, the Company concluded it was not more likely than not that the carrying values of its reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. For leases with a term greater than one year, lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company excludes short-term leases, if any, having initial terms of 12 months or less at lease commencement as an accounting policy election. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which represents an estimated rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow equivalent funds on a collateralized basis, at the lease commencement date. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. Variable lease payments primarily include common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating costs that are passed on from the lessor in proportion to the space leased by the Company. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate between lease and non-lease components.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company records an asset retirement obligation (ARO) for the estimated cost of removing constructed leasehold improvement assets and restoring the leased premises back to their original condition, at the time when the contractual obligations are incurred. The ARO represents the present value of the expected cost for the related restoration activities. The ARO assets and liabilities are recorded in property, plant, and equipment, net and other current liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records accretion expense, which represents the increase in the ARO, over the remaining or operational life of the associated leasehold improvements. Accretion expense is recorded as R&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations using an accretion rate based on the credit adjusted risk-free interest rate. Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or amount of the original estimate of cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease in the asset retirement cost or income when the asset retirement cost is depleted.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues represent amounts earned from collaboration agreements related to contract research. The Company recognizes revenues when control of services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from the Company’s customers in exchange for those services. This process involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing the revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when the Company determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract.

Collaboration Agreements Related to Contract Research

Performance obligations under collaboration arrangements include providing intellectual property licenses, performing R&D consulting services, and providing other materials. To date, the Company has concluded that the licenses of intellectual property in its collaboration arrangements have not been distinct, as intellectual property has not been licensed without related R&D support services. Milestone fees are variable consideration that is initially constrained and included in the arrangement consideration only when it is probable that the milestones will be achieved. Arrangement consideration, including upfront fees, milestone fees, and fees for research services, is recognized over the period as services are provided using an input method to determine the amount to recognize each reporting period. The Company reviews the inputs each period, such as the Company’s level of effort expended, including the time the Company estimates it will take to complete the activities, or costs incurred relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy the performance obligation. Generally, input measures are labor hours expended or a time-based measure of progress towards the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized anominal amount in contract assets as of December 31, 2024, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There were $0.2 million in contract assets as of December 31, 2023.

The Company records contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, primarily related to advances of upfront and milestone payments from contract research and collaboration agreements. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize the amounts included in deferred revenues within one year.

The following table represents the deferred revenue activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:

For the year ended December 31, 2024, all of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following table represents the deferred revenue activity for the year ended December 31, 2023:

For the year ended December 31, 2023, all of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expense consists primarily of employee-related expenses, such as salaries for its executive, business development, legal, intellectual property, information technology, finance, human resources, and other administrative functions. These costs include legal, professional, and consulting fees for external firms and contractors. All selling and marketing expenses, including advertising expenses and allocated facility costs including rent, utilities, maintenance expenses, and depreciation and amortization, are included in SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D costs are expensed as incurred in performing R&D activities and include salaries, lab supplies, consultant fees, and allocated facility costs including rent, utilities, maintenance expenses, and depreciation and amortization.

Royalty Liability – Related Parties

The royalty liability - related parties (Royalty Liability) calculation is based on the Company’s current estimates of future Subject Revenues (as defined in Note 11) collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments (as defined in Note 11) based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders (as defined in Note 11) over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 11) is on a cash basis meaning that all Royalty Payments to Royalty Holders in a given period are based on cash actually collected by the Company for Subject Revenues in that period. The Company will periodically reassess the estimated future Royalty Payments using internal projections and external sources. If the amount or timing of these payments significantly deviates from the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively as an increase or decrease to interest expense. Fluctuations in the Royalty Liability balance, resulting from changes in Cibus’ business model and anticipated Subject Revenues, may cause fluctuations in the Company’s earnings.

Estimates of total future Subject Revenues to be collected from customers are inherently uncertain. Such estimates are impacted by management’s estimate of the number of total acres for various geographies on which seeds with each Cibus trait will be planted, which is based on industry sources or references regarding the need for a specific trait in specific crops and geographies, taking into account assumptions about competition, trait relevance, switching costs and adoption timeframes, and various other factors. Such estimates are also impacted by management’s assumptions regarding the potential per acre fees that the Company may receive in respect of applicable traits, taking into account available market information regarding competitors’ current trait fees as well as assumptions regarding competition, trait relevance and trait value in specific geographies and potential savings to farmers, switching costs, and various other factors.

See Note 11 for further details.

Stock-Based Compensation

The valuation of stock options is an accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company generally measures the fair value of employee and nonemployee stock-based awards on their grant date and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the grant date, or other measurement date if applicable, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make predictive assumptions regarding employee exercise behavior, future stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The Company generally measures compensation expense for grants of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards using the Company’s share price on the date of grant. The Company may use a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model when estimating the fair values of performance stock units (PSUs), which requires the Company to make predictive assumptions. The Company estimates fair values and accounts for employee and nonemployee awards in a similar manner.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company estimated its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which took into consideration the Company’s historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the expected term of the option. This was due to the Company’s limited history of sufficient historical stock option activity to make predictive assumptions based solely on its stock or stock option activity for the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the Company used data from other comparable public companies, an alternative calculation method allowed by GAAP.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company determined it had sufficient historical stock option activity to make predictive assumptions based solely on its stock or stock option activity for the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the Company began using its own historical stock price volatility, over the expected term of the option.

The expected term of stock options is estimated using the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant for employee options, or the simplified method, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants.

The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon yield curve at the date of grant for the expected term of the option.

The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur. If an award is forfeited prior to vesting, the associated reduction in expense is reflected net in stock-based compensation expense in that period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in R&D and SG&A expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net

Non-operating income (expense), net is income or expense that is not directly related to ongoing operations and is primarily comprised of gains and losses from the measurement of fair value of the Common Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock and foreign exchange transactions.

Income Taxes

The Company is the sole managing member of Cibus Global and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of Cibus Global in the consolidated financial statements. Cibus Global is a pass-through entity for United States federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes following the Merger Transactions. As an entity classified as a partnership for tax purposes, Cibus Global is not subject to United States federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Cibus Global is passed through to, and included in, the taxable income or loss of its holders of Cibus Common Units, including Cibus. The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from Cibus Global, based on the Company’s 88.9 percent economic interest in Cibus Global.

Current income taxes are recorded based on statutory obligations for the current operating period for the jurisdictions in which the Company has operations.

Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Net Loss Per Share of Class A Common Stock

Weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding excludes unvested Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, unvested shares of Class A Restricted Stock are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

See Note 7 for a detailed discussion of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants issued in December 2023. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants remain outstanding and exercisable, subject to an ownership limitation, as of December 31, 2024. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes theshares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and are included in the determination of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the common stock equivalent securities would be antidilutive.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include warrants issued by the Company (which can be exercised to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock) in a follow-on offering in 2022 (the 2022 Common Warrants) and in a registered direct offering in June 2024 (the 2024 Common Warrantsand, together with the 2022 Common Warrants, the Common Warrants), unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock awards, and options to purchase Class A Common Stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock as the effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is the same.

The following potential dilutive securities, presented on an as converted basis, were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock due to their antidilutive effect:

2022 Common Warrants

The Common Warrants in the table above include 158,483 outstanding 2022 Common Warrants which expire on August 23, 2027, and are each exercisable forone share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $69.04 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Splits. The 2022 Common Warrants have been classified as a liability because they include a put option election available to their holder that is contingently exercisable if the Company enters into a fundamental transaction (Fundamental Transaction). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Common Warrants, a Fundamental Transaction occurs if (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50 percent or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization, or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (not including any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (the Fundamental Change Put). If the Fundamental Change Put is exercised by the holder of a 2022 Common Warrant, holder may elect to receive either the consideration of the Fundamental Transaction or put the 2022 Common Warrants back to the Company in exchange for cash, based on terms and timing specified in the 2022 Common Warrant agreement. If the Fundamental Change Put option is exercised, the Company is required to pay cash to the holder in an amount as determined by the Black-Scholes pricing model, with assumptions determined in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Common Warrants. The Company believes that the Merger Transactions did not qualify as a Fundamental Transaction.

2024 Common Warrants

The Company issued the 2024 Common Warrants in the 2024 Follow-On Offering, defined below in Note 7. The Common Warrants included in the table above include 1,298,040 outstanding 2024 Common Warrants which, at the time of issuance, were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (or $10.07 per share, in the case of 2024 Common Warrants issued to one of the Company’s then executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and are set to expire five years after their date of issuance. The 2024 Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Common Warrants

The Common Warrants are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company reports the changes in fair value of the Common Warrants in non-operating income (expense), net in its consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (USD) as the reporting currency. For those foreign subsidiaries where the Company has determined that the functional currency is the entity’s local currency, the assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The revenue and expenses of such subsidiaries are translated into USD using average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Any translation adjustments are presented as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), within stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interest and stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in non-operating income (expense), net within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

Cibus hasone reportable segment as it only reports operating results on an aggregated basis to the Chief Executive Officer who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Cibus’ core technology is its propriety gene editing platform called the Rapid Trait Development System™ or RTDS®. It is the underlying technology in Cibus’ Trait Machine™ process which has the ability to materially improve the productivity of the breeding process and can be deployed to all customers in a similar manner. Cibus derives revenue and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, all revenues from the Company’s external customers were derived, and all long-lived assets were located, in the United States. The operating segment revenues are derived from customers as a result of Cibus providing R&D services todevelop plant traits which are specific genetic characteristics in the DNA of a plant’s seed.

The CODM is regularly provided with financial information, including revenue and expenses, in a format consistent with the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CODM regularly reviews reported consolidated revenues, significant expenses, and consolidated net loss, in addition to forecasted revenues, significant expenses and net income (loss) amounts for future periods. The CODM considers these measures, as well as other factors, such as an assessment of a new product’s future market potential, when determining how to allocate company-wide resources. The CODM does not review assets at a different level or category than those disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Significant expenses are amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in consolidated net income (loss), the Company’s primary measure of its single segment’s profit or loss.

Segment financial information used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make decisions about resource allocation was as follows:

(1) Other segment expenses are primarily comprised of insurance, loss on asset disposal, amortization and depreciation, rent and utilities, lab supplies, product development, and selling and marketing expenses.

The following table illustrates customer concentration as a percentage of total revenue:

2. MERGER WITH CIBUS GLOBAL

As described in Note 1, on May 31, 2023, the Company completed the Merger Transactions.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

All of the issued and outstanding Cibus Global membership units (Common Units) are held solely by the Company and certain members of Cibus Global who elected in connection with the Merger Transactions to receive units (Up-C Units), each consisting ofone share of Class B Common Stock andone Common Unit, at the closing of the Merger Transactions (Electing Members). The Up-C Units are generally exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on aone-for-one basis, subject to certain restrictions. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, Cibus Global is considered a Variable Interest Entity with Cibus as its sole managing member and primary beneficiary. As such, Cibus consolidates Cibus Global, and the remaining Common Unit holders that hold economic interest directly in Cibus Global are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Company’s financial statements. There are no restrictions on the use of assets of Cibus Global.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of Cibus Global Common Units that are not owned directly by the Company. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as temporary equity because the Common Units contained certain redemption features that were not solely within the control of the Company. As of May 31, 2023, (the closing date of the Merger Transactions) the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 22 percent of Cibus Global. As of December 31, 2024, the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 6 percent of Cibus Global.

Purchase Price

The purchase price for Cibus Global was determined as follows:

(1) This share number represents the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to Cibus Global members in the Merger Transactions and comprises:15,508,202 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock. This share number excludes 1,019,282 shares of Class A Restricted Stock, which are treated as issued and outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture.

(2) Reflects the purchase price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, which was the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on May 31, 2023, the closing date of the Merger Transactions.

Purchase Price Allocation

The acquisition of Cibus Global was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill.

Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant judgment is required in determining the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, predominantly with respect to intangible assets and the Royalty Liability. Evaluations included numerous inputs, including forecasted cash flows that incorporate the specific attributes of each asset. The Company evaluated all available information, as well as all appropriate methodologies, when determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest. In addition, the Company determined the amortization period and method of amortization for each finite-lived intangible asset.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the consideration:

Receivables have been recognized at their fair value, and the Company has not recognized, and it does not expect, any credit losses and therefore expects cash flows to match the recognized receivables.

Intangible Assets Acquired

Intangible assets acquired, and their related average useful lives, were as follows:

The weighted average amortization period for the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets, including developed technology and trade names, was 20 years.

The Company incurred expenses of approximately $8.2 million in connection with the completion of the Merger Transactions, of which approximately $0.4 million was recognized in 2022. During 2023, approximately $3.5 million in legal and professional fees, $1.9 million in severance costs resulting from pre-existing employment agreements, and $1.1 million in stock compensation expense from accelerated share vesting per the individual stock award agreements, were included in SG&A expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, during 2023, approximately $1.3 million in stock compensation expense from accelerated share vesting per the individual stock award agreements, was included in R&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

These unaudited pro forma figures for the year ended December 31, 2023, have been prepared as though the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect non-recurring stock compensation expense, legal and professional fees, severance costs, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, directly attributable to the business combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisitions reflected herein been consummated on the dates indicated or that will be achieved in the future.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In conjunction with the Merger Transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) with the Electing Members. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Electing Members, in the aggregate,85 percent of the net income tax savings that the Company actually realizes (or in certain circumstances, is deemed to realize) as a result of (i) certain favorable tax attributes the Company acquired from the blocker entities party to the Merger Agreement in connection with the Merger Transactions (including net operating losses), (ii) increases to the Company’s allocatable share of the tax basis of Cibus Global’s assets resulting from future redemptions or exchanges of Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash, (iii) tax attributes resulting from certain payments made under the TRA and (iv) deductions in respect of interest under the TRA. The payment obligations under the TRA are the Company’s obligations and not obligations of Cibus Global.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were 1,421,707 and 1,500,000, respectively, Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as the realizability of the tax benefit is not at the more likely than not threshold. Since the benefit has not been recorded, the Company determined that the TRA liability is not probable and therefore no TRA liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2024.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Financial Statement Presentation

The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as of the measurement date as follows:

Level 1: Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Fair values are based on observable quoted prices other than those in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3: Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Statement Presentation

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were as follows:

(1) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the Common Warrants activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:

The following table summarizes the Common Warrants activity for the year ended December 31, 2023:

The Company estimates the fair value of the Common Warrants as of the date of issuance and at the end of every reporting period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and dividend yield. The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for the remaining life of the Common Warrants. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company estimated its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which took into consideration the Company’s historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the remaining life of the Common Warrants. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company began using its own historical stock price volatility, over the remaining life of the Common Warrants. The Company does not pay dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The assumptions used for the initial valuation of the 2024 Common Warrants consisted of a risk-free interest rate of 4.4 percent, expected volatility of 102.7 percent, and an expected term offive years which resulted in an estimated fair value of $7.82 per 2024 Common Warrant.

The estimated fair values of the Common Warrants, and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no other financial instruments measured at fair value.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid securities and interest-bearing deposit accounts. The Company diversifies the risk associated with investing in securities by allocating its investments to a diverse portfolio of short-dated, high investment-grade securities, which it classifies as cash and cash equivalents that are recorded at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains the credit risk in this portfolio in accordance with its internal policies and, if necessary, makes changes to investments to minimize credit risk. The Company has not experienced any counterparty credit losses. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

4. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property, plant, and equipment, net consists of the following:

Depreciation and amortization expense is as follows:

Asset Retirement Obligation

Certain lease agreements require the Company to return designated areas of leased space to its original condition upon termination of the lease agreement. At the inception of such leases, the Company records an ARO and a corresponding capital asset in an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the obligation. To determine the fair value of the ARO, the Company estimates the cost for a third party to perform the restoration work. In subsequent periods, for each ARO, the Company records operating expense to accrete the ARO liability to full value and depreciation expense against the ARO, over the term of the associated lease agreement. The Company used a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 5.6 percent to discount the future obligation, and an inflation rate of 5.0 percent to determine the future value of the original estimate of restoration costs. The ARO is expected to be resolved in August 2025.

The following table presents the changes in the ARO:

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from acquiring Cibus Global, LLC, primarily due to its strong market position and its assembled workforce that are not individually identified and separately recognized as intangible assets. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets as of December 31, 2023, were as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined its finite-lived intangible assets net book values did not exceed their fair values based on expected undiscounted future cash flows andno impairment loss was recognized, however, it determined its in-process R&Dindefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired by $99.0 million, which was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company is the sole managing member of Cibus Global and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of Cibus Global in the consolidated financial statements. Cibus Global is a pass-through entity for United States federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Cibus Global is passed through to, and included in, the taxable income or loss of its holders of Cibus Common Units, including Cibus. The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from Cibus Global, based on the Company’s 88.9 percent economic interest in Cibus Global.

The components of loss before income taxes are as follows:

The following table reconciles the United States statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate:

The difference between the United States statutory income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 is primarily attributable to the effect of losses sustained which required a valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance decreased by $22.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the valuation allowance increased by $76.5 million.

Income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 consist of the following:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets described above due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in the taxing jurisdiction to utilize the assets. Therefore, the Company has not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Immaterial adjustments were made to the net deferred tax asset during the measurement period. There was no net impact to the financial statements due to the full valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $427.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). Of this amount, $130.9 million are state NOLs and $296.3 million are federal NOLs. The federal NOLs period is as follows: $250.3 million do not expire, but is subject to the 80 percent taxable income limitation and $46.0 million expire between 2026 and 2037. The state NOLs will expire between 2027 and 2044, with some amounts having indefinite carryover. The Company also has federal and state R&D credit carryovers of $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which will expire between 2028 and 2044.

Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), annual use of the Company’s NOLs and R&D credit carryforwards may be limited in the event a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50 percent occurs within a three-year period.

Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock, which on its own or combined with the purchasing stockholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, may have resulted in such an ownership change, or could result in an ownership change.

Upon the occurrence of an ownership change under Section 382 as outlined above, utilization of the Company’s NOLs and R&D credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate, which could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs or R&D credit carryforwards before utilization. The Company has completed an analysis through December 31, 2023, and it was determined that the Company experienced an IRC 382 cumulative shift as of 5/31/2023, as a result of the Merger Transactions. The Company has reduced tax attributes by $8.5 million which represents the amount estimated to expire unused based on the IRC 382 limitation.

The Company completed an additional analysis through December 31, 2024, to determine if any additional cumulative shifts have occurred and concluded no Section 382 ownership change was identified in 2024. For financial statement purposes, the Company has included the federal and state NOLs and R&D credit in the schedule of deferred tax assets offset with a full valuation allowance. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created as a result of the additional analysis for 2024, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate in the future.

The gross unrecognized tax benefits activity is as follows:

The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the United States as well as various state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Canada. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and concluded thatno liability for uncertain tax positions is required as of December 31, 2024. The Company will classify any future interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense if incurred.

The Company does not expect the amount of uncertain tax positions to change significantly in the next 12 months. The Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are in the United States, at both the federal and state levels, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Canada. The number of years open for examination varies depending on the tax jurisdiction but are generally from three to five years.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were 1,421,707 and 1,500,000, respectively, Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for Class A Common Stock. As described in Note 2, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as the realizability of the tax benefit is not at the more likely than not threshold. Since the benefit has not been recorded, the Company determined that the TRA liability is not probable and therefore no TRA liability existed as of December 31, 2024.

10. LEASES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company’s financing lease ROU assets are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is obligated under non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for office, laboratory, greenhouse, and warehouse space, as follows:

The Roseville, Minnesota lease includes four options to extend the lease forfive years. These options to extend the lease are not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company’s lease agreement does not include options to terminate the lease.

The Company’s headquarters are located in San Diego, California where it leases its headquarters facility, which includes office and laboratory space, and it has a trait development facility for editing plants with terms that expire in March 2033 and August 2025, respectively. In June 2024, the headquarters facility lease term was extended until March 2033. The headquarters facility lease includesone option to extend the lease that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise at the lease commencement; therefore, the extension term is not recognized in the calculation of the lease liability. The additional operating lease right-of-use asset and associated operating lease liability was $16.4 million. The Company hadone option to extend the trait development facility lease forone year, but will terminate the lease in August 2025. As the Company was not reasonably certain to exercise this option at lease commencement, the option was not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU asset or lease liability.

Additionally, the Company has certain leases for greenhouse and warehouse facilities, with terms that expire in August 2028 and August 2026, respectively. The Company hadone option to extend the term of the greenhouse lease, forfive years, and executed this right with an amended lease agreement beginning in September 2023 and expiring at the end of August 2028. There are no other options to extend this lease. The Company hasone option to extend the warehouse lease forfive years. However, as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise this option at lease commencement, the option was not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU asset or lease liability.

Certain leases include rent abatement, rent escalations, tenant improvement allowances, and additional charges for common area maintenance and other costs. The Company is required to pay base rent expense as well as its proportionate share of the facilities operating expenses. The non-lease components, consisting primarily of common area maintenance, are paid separately based on actual costs incurred. Therefore, the variable non-lease components were not included in the operating lease ROU assets or lease liabilities and are reflected as expense in the period incurred.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Operating lease costs for short-term leases was not material for the years ended December 31, 2024, or 2023.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

Cibus Non-Profit Foundation

During 2022, Cibus Global created the Cibus Charitable Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit legal entity (the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation). As of December 31, 2024, the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation has not received any donations or commenced operations. The Company is obligated to make donations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation each fiscal year at a rate of 1.0 percent of all net royalty revenue in the applicable fiscal year that is equal to or greater than $100 million up to, and including, $1.0 billion, and then steps up to 2.0 percent in respect of any portion of such net royalty revenue in excess of $1.0 billion. For purposes of this calculation, net royalty revenue refers to all royalty payments received by the Company, net of all taxes (other than income taxes) and all amounts payable pursuant to the Royalty Liability. The donation payable by the Company may be reduced, including to zero, to the extent necessary to comply with any covenant or obligation in any instrument evidencing third party indebtedness, to permit a financing to occur, to preclude undercapitalization, to satisfy working capital requirements or provide for strategic needs of the Company, to ensure timely payment of the Company’s liabilities and debts to third parties as they become due, or to comply with applicable law. The Company has agreed not to enter any change of control transaction unless the surviving entity assumes the obligation to pay such donations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation.

This obligation is contingent upon the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation obtaining and maintaining its status as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, although such registration has not yet been achieved. The Cibus Non-Profit Foundation must use all donations received consistent with its mission statement: to drive sustainable agriculture and sustainable agricultural communities in the developing world. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had not recorded a liability related to its obligations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Litigation and Claims

The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings as of December 31, 2024. From time-to-time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

11. ROYALTY LIABILITY - RELATED PARTIES

On December 31, 2014, Cibus Global entered into a Warrant Transfer and Exchange Agreement (Warrant Exchange Agreement) and a related Intellectual Property Security Agreement (IP Security Agreement), pursuant to which certain investors, including certain directors of the Company and entities affiliated with directors of the Company (collectively, Royalty Holders), exchanged warrants issued by Cibus Global in previous financing transactions, for the right to receive future royalty payments (Royalty Payments). The Warrant Exchange Agreement and IP Security Agreement remain in place following the Company’s acquisition of Cibus Global in the Merger Transactions.

Under the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Royalty Holders are entitled to future Royalty Payments equal to 10 percent of specified Subject Revenues (as defined in the Warrant Exchange Agreement) actually collected, attributable to product sales, license fees, sublicense payments, distribution fees, milestones, maintenance payments, royalties, and distributions to the Company, arising from products or technology developed using or based upon intellectual property rights in RTDS or oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis technology applied in plants, biologicals, animals, and humans, as well as improvements related to such products or technology. Subject Revenues exclude revenues attributable to certain Nucelis product lines (certain applications in microorganisms), amounts received from the sale or disposition of the Company’s assets to the extent the purchaser agrees to be bound by the Warrant Exchange Agreement, fair market value payments for Cibus Global capital stock, and revenues attributable to collaboration and research projects. Royalty Payments are contingent because they are based upon the actual cash amounts constituting Subject Revenues that are collected from the Company’s customers.

Royalty Payments will not begin until after the first fiscal quarter in which the aggregate Subject Revenues cash inflow during any consecutive 12 month period equals or exceeds $50.0 million, at which point Cibus Global will be obligated to pay all aggregated but unpaid payments under the Warrant Exchange Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the amount of aggregated, but unpaid, Royalty Payments is $0.6 million.

The initial term of the Warrant Exchange Agreement is 30 years from the date the first Royalty Payment becomes due and may be extended for an additional 30-year term upon written notice and a $100 payment. Pursuant to the IP Security Agreement, Cibus Global’s payment and performance obligations under the Warrant Exchange Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of Cibus Global’s intellectual property.

The Royalty Liability calculation is based on the Company’s current estimates of future Subject Revenues collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement is on a cash basis meaning that all Royalty Payments to Royalty Holders in a given period are based on cash actually collected by the Company for Subject Revenues in that period. The Company recorded the Royalty Liability obligation at fair value as of May 31, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Cibus Global, LLC. The Company will periodically reassess the estimated future Royalty Payments using internal projections and external sources. Any change in estimated future Royalty Payments, resulting from changes in Cibus’ business model and anticipated Subject Revenues, is recognized prospectively as an adjustment to the effective yield as an increase or decrease to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2024, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 16.6 percent. As of December 31, 2023, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 21.7 percent.

The Royalty Liability activity is as follows:

13. COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

Prior to the Merger Transactions, Cibus Global and Procter & Gamble (P&G), a leading multi-national consumer product company, entered into a collaboration agreement (P&G agreement) under which P&G will fund a multi-year program to develop low carbon ingredients or materials aimed at reducing impacts on the environment during production, use, or disposal. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $0.9 million of deferred revenue from R&D activities under the P&G agreement. The Company has determined the P&G agreement should be accounted for under Topic 606, and it will recognize revenue over time proportional to the R&D activities performed by the Company related to the collaboration agreement.

The P&G agreement provides for: (i) research activities to develop low carbon ingredients or materials (R&D Activities), (ii) participation in the Partnership Project Committee (PPC), and (iii) a limited license for certain intellectual property rights (Evaluation License).

The R&D Activities are subject to compulsory governance by a PPC to assess R&D Activities and results.

The P&G agreement provides P&G an Evaluation License for a limited term to internally evaluate materials developed from the R&D Activities.

The Company assessed the above promises and concluded that PPC participation and the Evaluation License are not capable of being distinct from the R&D Activities given that such R&D activities performed by Cibus involve significant proprietary knowledge of the Cibus technology. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the PPC participation, the Evaluation License, and the R&D Activities represent a single combined performance obligation.

The Company reassesses the achievement of success criteria at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate to completion of the project. The P&G agreement provides for unilateral termination by mutual agreement, each of which is subject to certain time requirements. Such termination provisions without penalties are treated as renewal provisions. Changes in transaction price associated with early termination are not deemed to constitute variable constraints. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 606-10, the Company utilizes the most likely amount method of estimating variable consideration.

In consideration of the services rendered pursuant to the P&G agreement, P&G shall pay Cibus per a payment schedule. The Company received a non-refundable upfront payment upon the execution of the P&G agreement, which the Company included in the transaction price. Management also considered the timing of the upfront and other payments and concluded not to adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component as the payment schedule is structured so that period between payment and performance is expected to be less than one year.

As noted above, the Company has identified a single performance obligation associated with the P&G agreement. Therefore, the Company will allocate the entire amount of the transaction price to the identified single performance obligation.

The Company has concluded that an input method is a representative depiction of the transfer of services under the P&G agreement. The Company recognizes revenue related to the P&G agreement over time as the R&D activities are rendered.

Revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations related to the collaboration agreement is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the cumulative amount of consideration allocated to the performance obligation and revenue recognized under the P&G agreement is $4.5 million.

14. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Cellectis, the Company’s largest shareholder prior to the completion of the Merger Transactions, has guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s Roseville, Minnesota facility. Cellectis’ guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the lease will terminate at the end of the second consecutive calendar year in which the Company’s tangible net worth exceeds $300 million. The Company agreed to indemnify Cellectis for any obligations incurred by Cellectis under its guaranty of the obligations under the lease, effective upon Cellectis’ ownership falling to 50 percent or less of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This indemnification obligation was triggered in October 2022.

Prior to the Merger Transactions, amounts payable to Cellectis were reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as Due to related parties. Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2023, any amounts payable to Cellectis are included in accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
