Note 1. Nature of Business
ChromaDex Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex International, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Limited, Asia Pacific Scientific, Inc., ChromaDex Europa B.V. and ChromaDex Sağlik Ürünleri Anonim Şirketi (collectively, “ChromaDex” or the “Company”) are a global bioscience company dedicated to healthy aging. The ChromaDex team, which includes world-renowned scientists, is pioneering research on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme that is a key regulator of cellular metabolism and is found in every cell of the human body. NAD+ levels in humans have been shown to decline with age, among other factors, and may be increased through administration of NAD+ precursors.
ChromaDex is the innovator behind the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside chloride (“NRC”, commonly referred to as “NR”), commercialized as the flagship ingredient Niagen®, available in both food and pharmaceutical grades. Nicotinamide riboside chloride and other NAD+ precursors are protected by ChromaDex’s patent and/or licensed rights portfolio. The Company delivers food-grade Niagen® as the sole or principal dietary ingredient in its dietary supplement consumer product line, Tru Niagen®. As part of its consumer product offerings, the Company offers NAD+ test kits exclusively to healthcare practitioners. Furthermore, the Company develops and commercializes proprietary ingredient technologies, including food-grade Niagen® and pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, and supplies these ingredients as raw materials to the manufacturers of consumer products and U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, respectively. Additionally, the Company provides natural product fine chemicals, known as phytochemicals, and related research and development services.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024.
Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the consolidated financial position of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from these financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company:
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the ASC. These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
| | | | | | | | |
| ChromaDex Corporation and Subsidiaries | |
| Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 07, "Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07), which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity's CODM. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, "Codification Improvements." ASU 2024-02 amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. ASU 2024-02 will become effective January 1, 2025 and although the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Note 3. Liquidity
Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations
In connection with the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they became due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s third quarter of 2024 interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses and a history of negative cash flows from operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had net income of $1.4 million and the Company’s operating activities provided cash of $3.5 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $32.2 million which consists of bank deposits and short-term investments, including highly liquid investment-grade debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is derived using Level 1 inputs.
Management evaluated these conditions and anticipates that its current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and cash to be generated from net sales will be sufficient to meet its financial obligations as they become due over at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company may, however, seek additional capital within the next twelve months, both to fund its projected operating plans after the next twelve months and/or to fund the Company’s longer-term strategic objectives.

Note 5. Business Segments
The Company has the following three reportable segments:
•Consumer Products segment: provides finished dietary supplement products that contain the Company's proprietary ingredients directly to consumers and distributors and offers NAD+ test kits exclusively to healthcare practitioners;
•Ingredients segment: develops and commercializes proprietary-based ingredient technologies, including food-grade Niagen® and pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, and supplies these ingredients as raw materials to the manufacturers of consumer products and U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, respectively; and
•Analytical Reference Standards and Services segment: offers the supply of phytochemical reference standards and other research and development services.
The Company’s reportable segments are significant operating segments that offer differentiated services. This structure reflects the Company’s current operational and financial management and provides the best structure to maximize the Company's objectives and investment strategy, while maintaining financial discipline. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is its chief operating decision maker (CODM), reviews financial information for each operating segment to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on reviewing net sales, gross profit and operating income (loss) by reportable segment. The Company's CODM does not review assets by segment in his evaluation and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed below. There are no intersegment sales that require elimination. The “Corporate and other” classification includes corporate items not allocated by the Company to each reportable segment.

As of September 30, 2024, concentration of the Company's outstanding trade receivables is significant, with approximately 74.6% of the total outstanding trade receivables aggregated among three customers. Whenever a significant concentration is present it poses a potential risk to the Company's financial performance and cash flows, as any adverse changes in the payment behavior or financial health of these major customers could impact the Company's cash flows and financial results.
The Company has determined that the current concentration is primarily due to the timing of purchases, and the Company does not consider the concentration of its trade receivables to be a significant risk. Nevertheless, to ensure prudence and safeguard against potential challenges arising from this concentration, the Company remains vigilant in monitoring the creditworthiness and payment behavior of these major customers. Furthermore, the Company continues to pursue new partnerships and business opportunities which helps to diversify its customer base and minimize the risk of an overreliance on any particular trade receivable. Despite the Company’s risk mitigation efforts, there is no assurance that the Company will not experience delays or defaults in payment from its customers, which could result in an increase in the Company's bad debt expense, a reduction in cash flows, and a negative impact on its financial performance.
Note 6. Related Party Transactions

Note 8. Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) which requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset on the balance sheet. The Company leases office space facilities and a research and development laboratory under non-cancelable operating leases with varying expirations extending through fiscal year 2029. The lease agreements provide for renewal options and rent escalation over the lease term as well as require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Operating Leases
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had ROU assets of $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $2.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Note 9. Share-Based Compensation
Equity Plans
The Company grants awards to recipients through the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders and the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the latest amendment, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of shares that total no more than the sum of (i) 18,150,000 new shares, (ii) any returning shares such as forfeited, cancelled, or expired shares granted under either the 2017 Plan or the Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and (iii) 500,000 shares pursuant to an inducement award. The number of shares available to be issued under the 2017 Plan will be reduced by (i) one share for each share that relates to an option or stock appreciation right award and (ii) 1.5 shares for each share which relates to an award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right award (a full-value award). As of September 30, 2024, there were approximately 4.6 million remaining shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to recognize the value of stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards that are not market based. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected option life. The fair-value of the restricted stock unit awards at the grant date is based on the market price on the grant date. The Company develops estimates based on historical data and market information, which can change significantly over time, and adjusts for forfeitures as they occur.
General Vesting Conditions
The Company’s stock options and restricted stock unit (RSU) awards are generally subject to a one-year cliff vesting period, after which one-third of the shares vest with the remaining shares vesting ratably each month over a two-year period subject to the applicable grantee’s continued service. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, RSU awards are generally subject to a three-year vesting period with one-third vesting per year on the anniversary of the grant date. Certain stock option awards are market or performance based and vest based on certain triggering events established by the Compensation Committee. Certain executive stock option and RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control or termination without cause.
