The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cyanotech Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nutrex Hawaii, Inc. (“Nutrex Hawaii” or “Nutrex”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company sustained operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for these same periods.  Furthermore, as discussed below, the Company was not in compliance with two debt covenant requirements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. In June 2023, First Foundation Bank (the “Bank”) instituted a freeze on additional advances from the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Line of Credit”).  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expense that may be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $257,000 and working capital of $302,000 compared to $707,000 and $2,037,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. The Company had the Line of Credit with the Bank that provided for borrowings up to $2,000,000 on a revolving basis, however, as part of the covenant waiver as of March 31, 2023, the borrowings under the Line of Credit were frozen. On October 13, 2023, the Bank converted the Line of Credit to a term loan in the amount of $1,480,000 with an original maturity date of August 30, 2024 (the “2023 Loan”). As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $760,000 and $1,240,000 outstanding on the 2023 Loan, with a maturity date extended to March 31, 2026 (See Note 5).

The Company also has a loan facility with a related party that allows the Company to borrow up to $4,000,000 on a revolving basis (the “Revolver”). As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $3,000,000 and $1,250,000, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on the Revolver, which were included in line of credit – related party on the consolidated balance sheets. The Revolver expires on April 12, 2026 (see Notes 5 and 15).

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $2,954,000 of debt (“2012 Loan”) payable to the Bank that requires the payment of principal and interest monthly through August 2032. Pursuant to the 2012 Loan and 2023 Loan, the Company is subject to annual financial covenants, customary affirmative and negative covenants and certain subjective acceleration clauses. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio and current ratio fell short of the Bank’s annual requirement. On June 4, 2025, the Bank provided the Company with a letter waiving the covenant violations as of March 31, 2025, but noting that the Bank reserves its right to declare a default in the future if any covenants remain out of compliance at applicable measurement dates. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio and current ratio fell short of the Bank’s annual requirement. On September 12, 2024, the Bank provided the Company with a letter waiving the covenant violations as of March 31, 2024.

In April 2019, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $1,500,000 from a related party. The proceeds were used to pay down accounts payable and for general operating capital purposes. On April 12, 2021, December 14, 2022, August 14, 2023, and August 9, 2024, the Company amended this loan (see Notes 5 and 15). As of both March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding on the related party note. The loan matures on April 12, 2027.

The Company continues to experience a loss from operations and continues to rely on its funding source to provide liquidity. To address the resulting continued cash flow challenges, the Company continues to monitor cost savings initiatives implemented in fiscal year 2023. This includes: stopping or slowing production of inventory in alignment with current customer demand throughout the year, maintaining a reduced headcount and compensation, primarily through attrition and furloughs, respectively, and eliminating certain discretionary selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. The Company has made some additional changes in the sales and marketing team by hiring a Head of Sales to strengthen its eCommerce footprint, optimize the Company’s marketing efforts and improve its retail strategy.

Funds generated by operating activities and available cash are the Company's most significant sources of liquidity for working capital requirements, debt service and funding of maintenance levels of capital expenditures. The Company has developed its operating plan to produce a significant portion of the cash flows necessary to meet all financial requirements, with the remaining need for capital raising. Although the Company has a history of either being in compliance with debt covenants, or obtaining the necessary waivers, execution of its operating plan is dependent on many factors, some of which are not within the control of the Company. However, no assurances can be provided that the Company will achieve its operating plan and cash flow projections for the next fiscal year or its projected consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026. Such estimates are subject to change based on future results and such change could cause future results to vary significantly from expected results.
