See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The accompanying financial statements of ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc. and Spherix Consulting, Inc. include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, that, in the opinion of the management of the Company, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of July 4, 2015 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended January 3, 2015 appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 19, 2015. Operating results for the six months ended July 4, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year ending on January 2, 2016. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The balance sheet at January 3, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Note 2. Nature of Business and Liquidity
Nature of business: The Company is a natural products company that leverages its complementary business units to discover, acquire, develop and commercialize patented and proprietary ingredient technologies that address the dietary supplement, food, beverage, skin care and pharmaceutical markets. In addition to the Company’s ingredient technologies unit, the Company also has business units focused on natural product fine chemicals (known as “phytochemicals”), chemistry and analytical testing services, and product regulatory and safety consulting (known as Spherix Consulting). As a result of the Company’s relationships with leading universities and research institutions, the Company is able to discover and license early stage, Intellectual Property-backed ingredient technologies. The Company then utilizes the Company’s in-house chemistry, regulatory and safety consulting business units to develop commercially viable ingredients. The Company’s ingredient portfolio is backed with clinical and scientific research, as well as extensive Intellectual Property protection.
Liquidity: The Company has incurred a loss from operations of approximately $1,090,000 and a net loss of approximately $1,341,000 for the six-month period ended July 4, 2015. As of July 4, 2015, the cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $5,699,000.
While we anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient meet our projected operating plans through at least December 31, 2016, we may require additional funds, either through additional equity or debt financings or collaborative agreements or from other sources. We have no commitments to obtain such additional financing, and we may not be able to obtain any such additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate financing is not available, the Company will further delay, postpone or terminate product and service expansion and curtail certain selling, general and administrative operations. The inability to raise additional financing may have a material adverse effect on the future performance of the Company.
Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the consolidated financial position of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from these financial statements. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Every fifth or sixth fiscal year, the inclusion of an extra week occurs due to the Company’s floating year-end date. The fiscal year 2014 ended on January 3, 2015 consisted of 53 weeks. The fiscal year 2015 ending on January 2, 2016 will include the normal 52 weeks.
Changes in accounting principle: In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs have not changed.
The Company early adopted the amendments in this ASU effective as of April 4, 2015. As of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $85,161 and $91,361, respectively. The Company had previously presented the debt issuance costs as other noncurrent assets in its consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2015 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 19, 2015. The early adoption has resulted in adjustments to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2015, by reclassifying the debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Below are the effects of the change on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2015.

Note 6. Loan Payable
On June 17, 2015, the Company and Hercules Technology II, L.P entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement entered into by the parties on September 29, 2014 (the “Agreement”). The terms of the Agreement provided the Company with access to a term loan of up to $5 million. The first $2.5 million of the term loan was funded at closing. The remaining $2.5 million of the term loan was to be drawn down in part or in full at our option at any time but no later than July 31, 2015. The first advance and second advance, if any, were to be repaid in equal monthly installments through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2018, following an initial interest-only period that was to conclude on October 31, 2015.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties agreed that the interest only period shall be extended to March 31, 2016, provided however that if the Company’s consolidated revenue is equal to or greater than $11.5 million for the six months ending December 31, 2015, then the interest-only period shall be extended to June 30, 2016. The maturity date remains unchanged at April 1, 2018 and any remaining principal balance of the loan and all unpaid interest shall be due on the maturity date. The Amendment became effective on June 18, 2015 upon the funding of the full amount of the $2.5 million second advance and payment of a nonrenewable facility fee of $15,000 to the Agent.
The second advance of $2.5 million is treated as if the Company entered into a separate loan. The facility fee of $15,000 is treated as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan. There is also additional $93,750 end of term charge the Company will pay, which is 3.75% of the $2.5 million drawn. The end of term charge is being accrued as additional interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan.
The Company determined that the amended terms of the first advance of $2.5 million on September 29, 2014 were not substantially different from the original terms. The Company therefore did not apply debt extinguishment treatment, but rather accounted for prospectively as yield adjustments, based on the revised terms.
Loan payable as of July 4, 2015 consists of the following:

For the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the Company did not have any interest expense related to loan payable as the Company did not have any outstanding balance.

GENERAL
This Quarterly Report on Form 10−Q (the “Form 10−Q”) contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations of the future results of its operations, performance and achievements. Forward-looking statements are covered under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried, wherever possible, to identify these statements by using words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information now available to it. Accordingly, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements in 2015 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Such statements, include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this Form 10-Q relating to our business, financial performance, business strategy, recently announced transactions and capital outlook. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements include: a continued decline in general economic conditions nationally and internationally; decreased demand for our products and services; market acceptance of our products; the ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any litigation or infringement actions brought against us; competition from other providers and products; risks in product development; the inability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; changes in government regulation; the ability to complete customer transactions, and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by us. Should one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned. Additional risks, uncertainties, and other factors are set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending January 3, 2015 and filed with the Commission on March 19, 2015 and in future reports the Company files with the Commission. Readers of this Form 10−Q should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or uncertainties.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company together with the financial statements and the related notes presented in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Overview
The Company is a natural products company that leverages its complementary business units to discover, acquire, develop and commercialize patented and proprietary ingredient technologies that address the dietary supplement, food, beverage, skin care and pharmaceutical markets. In addition to the Company’s ingredient technologies unit, the Company also has business units focused on natural product fine chemicals, chemistry and analytical testing services, and product regulatory and safety consulting. As a result of the Company’s relationships with leading universities and research institutions, the Company is able to discover and license early stage, Intellectual Property-backed ingredient technologies. The Company then utilizes the Company’s in-house chemistry, regulatory and safety consulting business units to develop commercially viable ingredients. The Company’s ingredient portfolio is backed with clinical and scientific research, as well as extensive Intellectual Property protection.
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues, if any, and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company has approximately $5,699,000 cash and cash equivalents on hand as of July 4, 2015. We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected operating plans through at least December 31, 2016. We may, however, seek additional capital prior to December 31, 2016, both to meet our projected operating plans after December 31, 2016 and/or to fund our longer term strategic objectives.
Additional capital may come from public and/or private stock or debt offerings, borrowings under lines of credit or other sources. These additional funds may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Further, if we issue equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new equity or debt securities we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our products or proprietary technologies, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, obtain the required regulatory clearances or approvals, achieve long term strategic objectives, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to establish small to medium scale production capabilities through our own plant or though collaboration we may be unable to fulfill our customers’ requirements. This may cause a loss of future revenue streams as well as require us to look for third party vendors to provide these services. These vendors may not be available, or charge fees that prevent us from pricing competitively within our markets.
Some of our operations are subject to regulation by various state and federal agencies. In addition, we expect a significant increase in the regulation of our target markets. Dietary supplements are subject to FDA, FTC and U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations relating to composition, labeling and advertising claims. These regulations may in some cases, particularly with respect to those applicable to new ingredients, require a notification that must be submitted to the FDA along with evidence of safety. There are similar regulations related to food additives.

The increases in sales for the ingredients segment are due to increased sales throughout most of the ingredients we sell, including “NIAGEN®,” “PURENERGY®,” and “PTEROPURE®.”
|
·
|
The increases in sales for the core standards and contract services segment are primarily due to increased sales of analytical testing and contract services.
|
·
|
The increases in sales for the scientific and regulatory consulting segment are mainly due to completion of more consulting projects during the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 2015. In the comparable periods in 2014, we did not complete as many projects due to client related delays.
