Nature of Business and Organization

Cibus, 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 designates two 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 June 30, 2024, is as follows:

						Class A Common Stock						Class B Common Stock						Total Common Stock
Authorized						210,000,000						90,000,000						300,000,000
Issued						23,529,689						3,112,516						26,642,205
Outstanding						23,015,417						3,112,516						26,127,933

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 $55.5 million and cash used for operating activities was $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, the Company had $30.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $29.0 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, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million (ATM Facility). During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 927,326 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.5 million from the ATM Facility. Subsequently, from July 1, 2024, through August 7, 2024, the Company issued 47,401 shares of Class A Common Stock and has received net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million from the ATM Facility.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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. However, 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized $0.2 million in contract assets as of June 30, 2024, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed 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 condensed 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 six months ended June 30, 2024:

In Thousands						Deferred Revenue
Balance as of December 31, 2023						$	1,210
Consideration earned						(1,383)
Consideration received						1,796
Balance as of June 30, 2024						$	1,623

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $0.6 million of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table represents the deferred revenue activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

In Thousands						Deferred Revenue
Balance as of December 31, 2022						$	107
Acquired from merger with Cibus Global, LLC						1,186
Consideration earned						(239)
Consideration received						493
Balance as of June 30, 2023						$	1,547

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $0.1 million of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 10) collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments (as defined in Note 10) based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders (as defined in Note 10) over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 10) 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 10 for further details.

Stock-Based Compensation

The valuation of stock options is a critical accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed 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.

---

Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have 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 may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods as allowed by GAAP.

The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year because of changes in those factors and because a new comparable company may become publicly traded.

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.

Due to the limited historical experience of the Company’s stock awards program, it 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 research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 6 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 June 30, 2024. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes the shares 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts						2024						2023						2024						2023
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc.						$	(24,883)					$	(18,690)					$	(48,318)					$	(24,084)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding						21,801,982						6,136,114						21,307,460						3,576,350
Effect of pre-funded warrants						50,000						—						50,000						—
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding – basic and diluted						21,851,982						6,136,114						21,357,460						3,576,350
Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock						$	(1.14)					$	(3.05)					$	(2.26)					$	(6.73)

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 Warrants and, 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:

---

			As of June 30,
			2024						2023
Stock options outstanding			150,899						109,551
Unvested restricted stock units			115,541						101
Unvested restricted stock awards			469,095						1,001,644
Common warrants			1,456,523						158,483
Total			2,192,058						1,269,779

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 for one 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 6. The Common Warrants included in the table above include 1,298,040 outstanding 2024 Common Warrants which are 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 executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and expire five years after their date of issuance. The 2024 Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s condensed 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, net in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

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 of one share of Class B Common Stock and one 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 a one-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 June 30, 2024, the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 12 percent of Cibus Global.

Purchase Price

The purchase price for Cibus Global was determined as follows:

Number of shares of Common Stock received by Cibus Global, LLC equityholders as merger consideration (1)						20,150,838
Multiplied by the fair value per share of Cibus, Inc. Class A Common Stock (2)						$	31.50
Purchase price						$	634,751,397

___________________________________________
(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:

In Thousands						May 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents						$	59,381
Accounts receivable						2,216
Due from related parties						19
Note receivable						2,500
Prepaid expenses and other current assets						2,535
Property, plant and equipment						10,588
Operating lease right-of-use-assets						9,519
Goodwill						585,266
Intangible assets						135,429
Other non-current assets						457
Accounts payable						(5,582)
Accrued expenses						(3,477)
Accrued compensation						(2,859)
Due to related parties						(8)
Deferred revenue						(1,186)
Current portion of notes payable						(517)
Current portion of operating lease obligations						(4,687)
Current portion of financing lease obligations						(165)
Other current liabilities						(17)
Notes payable, net of current portion						(749)
Operating lease obligations, net of current portion						(6,006)
Financing lease obligations, net of current portion						(10)
Royalty liability - related parties						(146,360)
Other non-current liabilities						(1,536)
Consideration transferred						$	634,751

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.

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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.

These unaudited pro forma figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 30,120 Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of Class A Common Stock. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024.

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 six months ended June 30, 2024, and 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. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, 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 of five 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 June 30, 2024						As of December 31, 2023

Leases

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

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

						As of June 30, 2024												As of December 31, 2023
In Thousands, except remaining term						Remaining Term (years)						Right-of-Use-Asset						Remaining Term (years)						Right-of-Use-Asset

Other leases						< 1.0 - 3.0						462						< 1.0 - 3.0						538
Total												$	35,603											$	21,685

The Roseville, Minnesota lease includes four options to extend the lease for five 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 includes one 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 Company has one option to extend the trait development facility lease for one year. 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.

Additionally, the Company has certain leases for greenhouse and warehouse facilities, with terms that expire in August 2028 and August 2026, respectively. The Company had one option to extend the term of the greenhouse lease, for five 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 has one option to extend the warehouse lease for five 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:

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, the Company had not recorded a liability related to its obligations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Litigation and Claims

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 21.7 percent.

The Royalty Liability activity is as follows:

In Thousands						Royalty Liability - Related Parties
Balance as of December 31, 2023						$	165,252
Interest expense recognized						17,078
Balance as of June 30, 2024						$	182,330

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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
NATURE OF BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NATURE OF BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cibus, Inc. (Cibus or the Company and, prior to the completion of the Merger Transactions (as defined below), Calyxt, Inc., or Legacy Calyxt) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements and has included the accounts of Cibus, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024 (Annual Report). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. Nature of Business and Organization Cibus, 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 designates two 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 June 30, 2024, is as follows: Class A Common Stock Class B Common Stock Total Common Stock Authorized 210,000,000 90,000,000 300,000,000 Issued 23,529,689 3,112,516 26,642,205 Outstanding 23,015,417 3,112,516 26,127,933 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 $55.5 million and cash used for operating activities was $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, the Company had $30.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $29.0 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, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million (ATM Facility). During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 927,326 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.5 million from the ATM Facility. Subsequently, from July 1, 2024, through August 7, 2024, the Company issued 47,401 shares of Class A Common Stock and has received net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million from the ATM Facility. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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. However, 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized $0.2 million in contract assets as of June 30, 2024, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed 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 condensed 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 six months ended June 30, 2024: In Thousands Deferred Revenue Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 1,210  Consideration earned (1,383) Consideration received 1,796  Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 1,623  For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $0.6 million of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table represents the deferred revenue activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023: In Thousands Deferred Revenue Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 107  Acquired from merger with Cibus Global, LLC 1,186  Consideration earned (239) Consideration received 493  Balance as of June 30, 2023 $ 1,547  For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $0.1 million of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 10) collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments (as defined in Note 10) based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders (as defined in Note 10) over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 10) 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 10 for further details. Stock-Based Compensation The valuation of stock options is a critical accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed 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. Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have 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 may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods as allowed by GAAP. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year because of changes in those factors and because a new comparable company may become publicly traded. 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. Due to the limited historical experience of the Company’s stock awards program, it 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 research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 6 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 June 30, 2024. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes the shares 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc. $ (24,883) $ (18,690) $ (48,318) $ (24,084) Denominator: Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding 21,801,982 6,136,114 21,307,460 3,576,350 Effect of pre-funded warrants 50,000 — 50,000 — Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding – basic and diluted 21,851,982 6,136,114 21,357,460 3,576,350 Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock $ (1.14) $ (3.05) $ (2.26) $ (6.73) 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 Warrants and, 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: As of June 30, 2024 2023 Stock options outstanding 150,899 109,551 Unvested restricted stock units 115,541 101 Unvested restricted stock awards 469,095 1,001,644 Common warrants 1,456,523 158,483 Total 2,192,058 1,269,779 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 for one 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 6. The Common Warrants included in the table above include 1,298,040 outstanding 2024 Common Warrants which are 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 executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and expire five years after their date of issuance. The 2024 Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s condensed 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, net in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

MERGER WITH CIBUS GLOBAL	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
MERGER WITH CIBUS GLOBAL	MERGER WITH CIBUS GLOBALAs 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 of one share of Class B Common Stock and one 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 a one-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 June 30, 2024, the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 12 percent of Cibus Global. Purchase Price The purchase price for Cibus Global was determined as follows: Number of shares of Common Stock received by Cibus Global, LLC equityholders as merger consideration (1) 20,150,838  Multiplied by the fair value per share of Cibus, Inc. Class A Common Stock (2) $ 31.50  Purchase price $ 634,751,397  ___________________________________________ (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: In Thousands May 31, 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,381  Accounts receivable 2,216  Due from related parties 19  Note receivable 2,500  Prepaid expenses and other current assets 2,535  Property, plant and equipment 10,588  Operating lease right-of-use-assets 9,519  Goodwill 585,266  Intangible assets 135,429  Other non-current assets 457  Accounts payable (5,582) Accrued expenses (3,477) Accrued compensation (2,859) Due to related parties (8) Deferred revenue (1,186) Current portion of notes payable (517) Current portion of operating lease obligations (4,687) Current portion of financing lease obligations (165) Other current liabilities (17) Notes payable, net of current portion (749) Operating lease obligations, net of current portion (6,006) Financing lease obligations, net of current portion (10) Royalty liability - related parties (146,360) Other non-current liabilities (1,536) Consideration transferred $ 634,751  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: In Thousands, except useful life May 31, 2023 Weighted Average Amortization (Years) In-process research and development $ 99,051  Indefinite Developed technology 14,148  20 Trade name 22,230  20 Total $ 135,429  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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. These unaudited pro forma figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 30,120 Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of Class A Common Stock. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK	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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were as follows:   June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023   Fair Value of Assets Fair Value of Assets In Thousands Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds (1) $ 1,043  $ —  $ —  $ 1,043  $ 7,015  $ —  $ —  $ 7,015  Total $ 1,043  $ —  $ —  $ 1,043  $ 7,015  $ —  $ —  $ 7,015  ________________________________________________ (1) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, 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 of five 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 June 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Estimated fair value of common warrants per share $3.16 - $7.61 $ 8.95  Assumptions:   Risk-free interest rate 4.3% - 4.5% 3.9  % Expected volatility 103.1% - 105.5% 100.7  % Expected term to liquidation (in years) 3.2 - 5.0 3.6 As of June 30, 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 condensed 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXESThe 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Current income taxes are recorded based on statutory obligations for the current operating period for the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. As such, the Company recorded a nominal income tax provision for foreign jurisdictions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No current income tax provision has been recorded for United States operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the Company's history of net operating losses, and the maintenance of a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 30,120 Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of 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 has been recorded as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to what the Company disclosed regarding tax uncertainties or penalties as of December 31, 2023.

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 includes one 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 Company has one option to extend the trait development facility lease for one year. 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. Additionally, the Company has certain leases for greenhouse and warehouse facilities, with terms that expire in August 2028 and August 2026, respectively. The Company had one option to extend the term of the greenhouse lease, for five 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 has one option to extend the warehouse lease for five 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: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, In Thousands 2024 2023 2024 2023 Finance lease costs $ 56  $ 11  $ 115  $ 14  Operating lease costs 1,685  807  3,369  1,195  Total $ 1,741  $ 818  $ 3,484  $ 1,209  Operating lease costs for short-term leases was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, or 2023.

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.

ROYALTY LIABILITY - RELATED PARTIES	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
ROYALTY LIABILITY - RELATED PARTIES	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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 21.7 percent.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS	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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 21.7 percent. The Royalty Liability activity is as follows: In Thousands Royalty Liability - Related Parties Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 165,252  Interest expense recognized 17,078  Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 182,330  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.

NATURE OF BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cibus, Inc. (Cibus or the Company and, prior to the completion of the Merger Transactions (as defined below), Calyxt, Inc., or Legacy Calyxt) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements and has included the accounts of Cibus, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024 (Annual Report). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed 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 condensed 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	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 condensed 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 condensed 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	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.
Contract Assets and Liabilities	Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized $0.2 million in contract assets as of June 30, 2024, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize the amounts included in deferred revenues within one year.
Royalty Liability – Related Parties	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 10) collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments (as defined in Note 10) based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders (as defined in Note 10) over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 10) 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.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The valuation of stock options is a critical accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed 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.Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have 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 may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods as allowed by GAAP. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year because of changes in those factors and because a new comparable company may become publicly traded. 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. Due to the limited historical experience of the Company’s stock awards program, it 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 research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss Per Share of Class A Common Stock	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 6 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 June 30, 2024. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes the shares 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc. $ (24,883) $ (18,690) $ (48,318) $ (24,084) Denominator: Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding 21,801,982 6,136,114 21,307,460 3,576,350 Effect of pre-funded warrants 50,000 — 50,000 — Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding – basic and diluted 21,851,982 6,136,114 21,357,460 3,576,350 Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock $ (1.14) $ (3.05) $ (2.26) $ (6.73) 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 Warrants and, 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.
Common Warrants	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 for one 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 6. The Common Warrants included in the table above include 1,298,040 outstanding 2024 Common Warrants which are 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 executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and expire five years after their date of issuance. The 2024 Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s condensed 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, net in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.
