Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial StatementsThe accompanying financial statements of ChromaDex Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Limited and ChromaDex Europa B.V. (collectively referred to herein as “ChromaDex” or the “Company”) 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 September 30, 2021 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. 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 December 31, 2020 appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) on March 12, 2021. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year ending on December 31, 2021. 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 December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
