Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation & Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Calyxt, Inc. (Calyxt or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying 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. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 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, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022. The accompanying Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, 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 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net Loss Per Share Due to the Company’s net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, all of its outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), and warrants to purchase common stock (Common Warrants) are considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. Accordingly, the treasury method was not used in determining the number of anti-dilutive stock options, RSUs, PSUs, or Common Warrants. Warrants The Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock (Pre-Funded Warrants) in a follow-on offering on February 23, 2022 (the Follow-On Offering). The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full on May 4, 2022, and subsequently settled with the counterparty. The Company also issued Common Warrants in the Follow-On Offering. The Common Warrants expire on August 23, 2027 and are exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock for $1.41 per share. The 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), generally described as a “change of control” (the Change of Control Put). If the Change of Control Put is exercised by the holder of a Common Warrant, they may elect to receive either the consideration of the Fundamental Transaction or put the Common Warrant back to the Company in exchange for cash, based on terms and timing specified in the Common Warrant agreement. If the Change of Control 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 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 (expenses) in its consolidated statements of operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $18.6 million of land, buildings, and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets and a net book value of $8.8 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s market capitalization was $8.0 million. The Company has a single asset group and reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of that asset group may not be recoverable. One such impairment indicator is if the Company’s market capitalization is lower than its net book value for an extended period of time. If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group, further analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset group. To the extent the fair value of the asset group is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow model or independent appraisals, as appropriate. As of the date of this filing, management has determined there was no impairment of its long-lived assets based on its financial projections and its stated pursuit of strategic alternatives, which could include various outcomes. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and in July 2018, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements (collectively, the Standard). The Standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the Standard, which among other things, allows it to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facility lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land component of the lease, and a second operating lease associated with the building component of the lease. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 creates accounting requirements on how to account for credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments. This will require the estimation of lifetime expected credit losses and corresponding recognition of allowance for losses on trade and other receivables, loans, and other instruments held at amortized cost. The ASU requires certain recurring disclosures and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2023. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of this standard on its results of operations.

Going Concern	Sep. 30, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Going Concern	2. GOING CONCERN The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company’s net loss was $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and it used $15.6 million of cash for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents, with additional liquidity accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable SEC and Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq) regulations, from the capital markets, including under the Open Market Sale Agreement SM As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $7.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The Company’s restricted cash is associated with its equipment financing leases and was $0.2 million as of September 30, 2022, with $0.1 million scheduled to be returned in December 2022. Current liabilities were $4.2 million as of September 30, 2022. On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies for the ATM Facility that enables it, subject to the applicable baby shelf rules described below, to offer and sell up to 15,661,000 shares of its common stock. At its discretion, the Company determines the timing and number of shares to be issued under the ATM Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and in the subsequent period through October 3, 2022, the Company did not issue any shares under the ATM Facility. From October 3, 2022, through the date of this report, the Company has issued approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock under the ATM Facility for proceeds of million net of commissions and payments for other share issuance costs. On February 23, 2022, the Company issued 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, and Common Warrants to purchase up to 7,760,000 shares of its common stock in the Follow-On Offering. In the aggregate, the Company received net proceeds of $10.0 million, after deducting approximately $0.9 million of underwriting discounts and estimated other offering expenses. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and 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 (a) future product development agreements and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments, annual license fees, and royalties; and (b) product sales from its proprietary BioFactory production system; (iii) government or other third-party funding, (iv) public or private equity or debt financings, (v) the execution of an alternative strategic transaction pursuant to the board of directors’ ongoing evaluation process, or (v) a combination of the foregoing. However, capital generated by commercialization activities, if any, is expected to be received over a period of time and near-term additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. Although the Company has access to the ATM Facility, based on the Company’s public float, as of the date of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company is only permitted to utilize a “shelf” registration statement for primary offerings, including the registration statement under which the Company’s ATM Facility is operated, subject to Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, which is referred to as the “baby shelf” rules. For so long as the Company’s public float is less than $75,000,000, it may not sell more than the equivalent of one-third of its public float during any twelve consecutive months pursuant to the baby shelf rules. While alternative public and private transaction structures may be available, these may require additional time and cost, may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders, particularly in light of the Company’s current stock price, may impose operational restrictions on the Company, and may not be available on attractive terms or at all. Accordingly, the Company continuously assesses market conditions and available financing alternatives. In addition, on September 22, 2022, the Company announced that the board of directors is evaluating a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including financing alternatives, merger, reverse merger, other business combinations, sale of assets, licensing, or other transactions. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to obtain additional public or private equity or debt financing, obtain government or private grants and other similar types of funding, or to consummate an alternative strategic transaction, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of September 30, 2022, considering the $0.1 million of net proceeds realized from the ATM Facility as well as potential additional proceeds from the ATM Facility (up to the maximum amount permitted under the baby shelf rules), the legal settlement discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, and taking into account additional efforts in reassessing its discretionary spending, including the implementation of increasingly stringent cost reduction and other cash focused measures to manage liquidity, is sufficient to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2023. The Company’s management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern because it will need to raise additional capital to support its business plan for a period of 12 months or more from the date of this filing. The accompanying 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 has implemented various cost reduction and other cash-focused measures to manage liquidity. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms or to consummate an alternative strategic transaction, the Company may have to implement increasingly stringent cost saving measures and 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. Any of these events could significantly harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Concentrations of Credit Risk	3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Financial Statement Presentation Financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and all other current liabilities have carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company measures common stock warrants on a quarterly basis. 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. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Statement Presentation The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2022, were as follows: September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Fair Values of Assets Fair Values of Liabilities In Thousands Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other items reported at fair value: Common stock warrants $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 402 $ 402 Total $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 402 $ 402 The Company estimates the fair value of each Common Warrant as of the date of issuance and at the end of every fiscal period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make predictive 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 Warrant. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using its historical volatility over the remaining life of the Common Warrant. The Company does not pay dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The estimated fair values of the Common Warrants, and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: As of September 30, Estimated fair value of Common Warrants $ 0.05 Assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 4.1 % Expected volatility 85.0 % Expected term to liquidation (in years) 4.9 As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no other financial instruments measured at fair value. The non-current portion of the Company’s financing lease obligations are also considered a financial instrument, which the Company measures at fair value for disclosure purposes. It is a Level 2 liability and as of December 31, 2021, it had a fair value of million. There is no non-current portion of the financing lease obligation at September 30, 2022. Foreign Exchange Risk Foreign currency fluctuations affect the Company’s foreign currency cash flows related primarily to payments to Cellectis. The Company’s principal foreign currency exposure is to the euro. The Company does not hedge these exposures, and it does not believe that the current level of foreign currency risk is significant to its operations. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company invests its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in highly liquid securities and investment funds. 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 short-term investments that are recorded at fair value in its 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 September 30, 2022, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related-Party Transactions	4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company is party to several agreements that govern its relationship with Cellectis, some of which require the Company to make payments to Cellectis. Pursuant to the Company’s management services agreement with Cellectis, it incurred no management fee expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and it incurred nominal management fee expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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. TALEN ® ® ®

Stockholders' Equity	5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Follow-On Public Offering On February 23, 2022, the Company completed the Follow-On Offering, in which it issued 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, and Common Warrants to purchase up to 7,760,000 shares of its common stock. The aggregate offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrant was $1.41. The aggregate offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant was $1.4099. In the aggregate, the Company received net proceeds of $10.0 million, after deducting approximately $0.9 million of underwriting discounts and estimated other offering expenses. Pre-Funded Warrants Each Pre-Funded Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants were recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full on May 4, 2022, and subsequently settled with the counterparty. Common Stock Warrants Each Common Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. The Common Warrants became exercisable on August 23, 2022 and expire on August 23, 2027. The Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Per the terms of the Common Warrants, a holder of an outstanding warrant is not entitled to exercise any portion of such warrant if, upon exercise of such portion of the warrant, the holder’s ownership of the Company’s common stock (together with its affiliates) or the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) would exceed the 4.99 percent after giving effect to the exercise. Warrant transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are as follows: Number of Weighted Number of Weighted Outstanding as of December 31, 2021: Issued 3,880,000 $ 0.0001 7,760,000 $ 1.41 Forfeited/canceled — — — — Exercised 3,880,000 $ 0.0001 — Outstanding as of September 30, 2022: — — 7,760,000 $ 1.41 Exercisable as of September 30, 2022: — — 7,760,000 $ 1.41 ATM Facility On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into an ATM Facility with Jefferies LLC, as sole selling agent. On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Open Market Sale Agreement that enables it, subject to the applicable baby shelf rules, to offer and sell up to 15,661,000 shares of its common stock. At its discretion the Company determines the timing and number of shares to be issued under the ATM Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and in the subsequent period through October 3, 2022, the Company did not issue any shares under the ATM Facility. From October 3, 2022, through the date of this report, the Company has issued approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock under the ATM Facility for proceeds of 0.1 million net of commissions and payments for other share issuance costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	Sep. 30, 2022
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company uses broad-based stock plans to attract and retain highly qualified officers and employees and to help ensure that management’s interests are aligned with those of its shareholders. The Company has also granted equity-based awards to directors, nonemployees, and certain employees of Cellectis. In December 2014, the Company adopted the Calyxt, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), which allowed for the grant of stock options, and in June 2017, it adopted the 2017 Omnibus Plan (2017 Plan), which allowed for the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other types of equity awards. In July 2021, the Company also adopted the Calyxt, Inc. Employee Inducement Incentive Plan (the Inducement Plan), from which PSUs were granted to Michael A. Carr. On February 19, 2021, James Blome ceased serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a benefit to earnings from a $2.5 million recapture of non-cash stock compensation expense from the forfeiture of Mr. Blome’s unvested stock options, RSUs, and PSUs. As of September 30, 2022, 2,712,803 shares were registered and available for grant under effective registration statements, while 3,105,208 shares were available for grant in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance stock units under the 2017 Plan. Stock-based awards currently outstanding also include awards granted under the 2014 Plan and the Inducement Plan. No further awards will be granted under either the 2014 Plan or the Inducement Plan. Stock Options The estimated fair values of stock options granted, and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Estimated fair values of stock options granted $ 0.86 $ 3.93 Assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 1.9% - 3.5% 0.6% - 1.1% Expected volatility 89.7% - 92.8% 80.1% - 82.0% Expected term (in years) 5.50 - 6.89 5.5 - 6.5 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 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. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using the weighted-average historical volatility calculated from a group of comparable public companies over the expected term of the option. 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 use of the simplified method is dependent upon the type of equity award granted and the term of the award. The Company does not pay dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Option strike prices are set at 100 percent or more of the closing share price on the date of grant and generally vest over three Information on stock option activity is as follows: Options Exercisable Weighted- Share Options Outstanding Weighted- Share Balance as of December 31, 2021 2,789,110 $ 10.23 4,658,405 $ 9.47 Granted 1,609,000 1.12 Exercised — — Forfeited or expired (420,606 ) 7.05 Balance as of September 30, 2022 3,314,828 $ 9.88 5,846,799 $ 7.35 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, In Thousands 2022 2021 2022 2021 Stock-based compensation expense $ 530 $ 698 $ 1,420 $ 1,103 As of September 30, 2022, options outstanding and exercisable had no aggregate intrinsic value and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 5.3 years as of that date. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options less shares used for minimum withholding taxes and the intrinsic value of options exercised were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, In Thousands 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net cash proceeds $ — $ — $ — $ 227 Intrinsic value of options exercised $ — $ — $ — $ 344 As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $3.7 million.

This expense will be recognized over 25 months on average. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards granted to employees of Cellectis as deemed dividends. The Company recorded deemed dividends as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, In Thousands 2022 2021 2022 2021 Deemed dividends from grants to Cellectis employees $ 18 $ (84 ) $ 82 $ (55 ) Performance Stock Units In June 2022, PSU grants made to two executive officers in 2019 were forfeited because the underlying performance criteria were not met. These PSUs contained a market condition and had a five-year service period. The Company will continue to expense these PSUs over the remaining service period. In March 2022, the Company granted 530,000 PSUs under the 2017 Plan to five employees including four executive officers. The PSUs include three annual performance periods (2022, 2023, and 2024) and target performance levels for each of those periods linked to the achievement of Company objectives as determined annually for the respective period by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee). Once the annual objectives are approved, the associated expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through the March 15 determination date. Earned awards will be settled in shares of Company stock no later than the March 15 determination date in the following calendar year. The grant date for the tranche of awards linked to 2022 performance is May 4, 2022. Determination of expense for the 2023 and 2024 tranches of PSUs will be made when the associated business objectives are determined. In July 2021, the Company granted 600,000 PSUs under the Inducement Plan to Mr. Carr. The PSUs will vest if the Company’s stock remains above three specified price levels for thirty calendar days over the three-year performance period. The PSUs will be settled in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, is as follows: Number of Outstanding as of December 31, 2021: 745,000 Issued 530,000 Forfeited/canceled (145,000 ) Exercised — Outstanding as of September 30, 2022: 1,130,000 Stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, In Thousands 2022 2021 2022 2021 Stock-based compensation expense $ 171 $ 122 $ 478 $ (133 ) As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs was $1.1 million. This expense will be recognized over 22 months on average.

Income Taxes	7. INCOME TAXES The 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 consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2022, there were no material changes to what the Company disclosed regarding tax uncertainties or penalties as of December 31, 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Leases, Commitments, and Contingencies	8. LEASES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and in July 2018, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements (collectively, the Standard). As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the Standard on January 1, 2022. The Company’s leases are summarized as follows: • A lease for its headquarters and laboratory facilities in Roseville, MN which encompasses approximately 38,000 square feet. The original lease term was 20 years, and the Company holds four 5-year renewal options. Historically, this lease was considered a failed sale leaseback based on the nature of the transactions and was reported as a financing-type lease. • An equipment financing arrangement that is considered a financing-type lease. This arrangement has a term of four years for each draw. The Company was required to deposit cash into a restricted account in an amount equal to the future rent payments required by the lease. As of September 30, 2022, restricted cash totaled $0.2 million. The Company has the option to request the return of excess collateral annually in December, and the amount the Company expects to receive is reflected as a current asset. • A small number of short-term and immaterial leases for office equipment. The Company’s adoption of the Standard required it to remove its existing land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land underlying the headquarter facility, and a second operating lease associated with the building. The cumulative effect of the adoption of the Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. The impact of adoption on the Company’s December 31, 2021, consolidated balance sheet was as follows: As Reported Adoption of As Adjusted Assets Land, buildings, and equipment $ 21,731 $ (16,543 ) $ 5,188 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 14,090 14,090 $ 21,731 $ (2,453) $ 19,278 Liabilities and stockholders’ equity Current portion of financing lease obligations $ 370 $ (4) $ 366 Other current liabilities 191 276 467 Financing lease obligations 17,506 (17,371) 135 Operating lease obligations — 13,814 13,814 Accumulated deficit (196,092 ) 832 (195,260 ) $ (178,025 ) $ (2,453 ) $ (180,478 ) The Company records its operating lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. If the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease, those elements are included in the determination of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is the rate stated in the lease agreement, or if not stated, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, up to an effective rate that enables the lease liability to amortize to zero over the lease term. Rent expense for operating leases is recorded in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense in the consolidated statements of operations and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company also records operating lease right-of-use assets at an initial amount equal to the operating lease liability. Those right-of-use assets are amortized to lease expense within SG&A over the lease term using the effective interest method to ensure the right-of-use asset amortizes to zero concurrent with the associated liability, and the right-of-use asset amortization expense is also reported in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records its financing lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. If the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease, those elements are included in the determination of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is the rate stated in the lease agreement, or if not stated, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, up to an effective rate that enables the lease liability to amortize to zero over the lease term. Expense associated with financing leases is recorded in interest, net in the consolidated statements of operations and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company is obligated under non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for office space and certain equipment, as follows: As of September 30, 2022 Remaining Right-of-Use In Thousands Term (years) Asset Roseville, MN lease 15.6 $ 13,734 Total $ 13,734 The Roseville, MN lease includes four options to each extend the lease for 5 years. These options to extend the lease are not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company’s agreement does not include options to terminate the lease. The components of lease expense were as follows: In Thousands Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Finance lease costs $ 57 $ 73 Operating lease costs 381 1,174 Variable lease costs 260 717 Total $ 698 $ 1,964 Operating lease cost for short-term leases was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Basis of Presentation & Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Warrants	Warrants The Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock (Pre-Funded Warrants) in a follow-on offering on February 23, 2022 (the Follow-On Offering). The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full on May 4, 2022, and subsequently settled with the counterparty. The Company also issued Common Warrants in the Follow-On Offering. The Common Warrants expire on August 23, 2027 and are exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock for $1.41 per share. The 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), generally described as a “change of control” (the Change of Control Put). If the Change of Control Put is exercised by the holder of a Common Warrant, they may elect to receive either the consideration of the Fundamental Transaction or put the Common Warrant back to the Company in exchange for cash, based on terms and timing specified in the Common Warrant agreement. If the Change of Control 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 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 (expenses) in its consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Due to the Company’s net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, all of its outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), and warrants to purchase common stock (Common Warrants) are considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. Accordingly, the treasury method was not used in determining the number of anti-dilutive stock options, RSUs, PSUs, or Common Warrants.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $18.6 million of land, buildings, and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets and a net book value of $8.8 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s market capitalization was $8.0 million. The Company has a single asset group and reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of that asset group may not be recoverable. One such impairment indicator is if the Company’s market capitalization is lower than its net book value for an extended period of time. If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group, further analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset group. To the extent the fair value of the asset group is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow model or independent appraisals, as appropriate. As of the date of this filing, management has determined there was no impairment of its long-lived assets based on its financial projections and its stated pursuit of strategic alternatives, which could include various outcomes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and in July 2018, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements (collectively, the Standard). The Standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the Standard, which among other things, allows it to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facility lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land component of the lease, and a second operating lease associated with the building component of the lease. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 creates accounting requirements on how to account for credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments. This will require the estimation of lifetime expected credit losses and corresponding recognition of allowance for losses on trade and other receivables, loans, and other instruments held at amortized cost. The ASU requires certain recurring disclosures and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2023. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of this standard on its results of operations.
