Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Cyanotech Corporation (the “Company”), located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 3, 1983 and is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CYAN”. The Company is engaged in the production of natural products derived from microalgae for the nutritional supplements market.

The Company is an agricultural company that produces high value natural products derived from microalgae grown in complex and intricate open-pond agricultural systems on the Kona coast of Hawaii.  The Company's products include Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica®, a superfood with numerous benefits, including boosting the immune system and overall cellular health; and BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin®, a powerful antioxidant shown to support and maintain the body's natural inflammatory response.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on June 22, 2022. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $737,000 and working capital of $10,950,000 compared to $2,589,000 and $11,443,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with First Foundation Bank (“Bank”) that allows the Company to borrow up to $2,000,000 on a revolving basis. At both June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit.  The line of credit is subject to renewal on August 30, 2022 and the Company intends to renew or replace it with another line of credit on or before the expiration date. The Company also has a loan facility with a related party that allows the Company to borrow up to $500,000 on a revolving basis (the “Revolver”). At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver. The Revolver expires on April 12, 2024.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $3,764,000 in long-term debt (“Term Loans”) payable to the Bank that require the payment of principal and interest monthly through August 2032. Pursuant to the Term Loans and the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to annual financial covenants, customary affirmative and negative covenants and certain subjective acceleration clauses. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all required annual financial covenants under the Term Loans and the Credit Agreement.

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, the Company amended this loan (see Notes 6 and 13). As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding on the related party note.

Funds generated by operating activities and available cash are expected to continue to be 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 the cash flows necessary to grow its business and meet all financing requirements.  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.  Consequently, future results may vary significantly from expected results.
