Nature of Business and Organization	Dec. 31, 2022
Nature of Business and Organization [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Organization	1. Nature of business and organization Nature of business AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (the “Parent” and, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in December 1991 in the State of Delaware for the purpose of conducting research and development of the commercial viability of a group of proteins commonly known as antifreeze proteins. In 1996, the Parent obtained the exclusive licensing rights for a gene construct (transgene) used to create a breed of farm‑raised Atlantic salmon that exhibit growth rates that are substantially faster than conventional salmon. In 2015, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the production and sale of its genetically engineered AquAdvantage salmon product (“GE Atlantic salmon”) in the United States and in 2016, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from Health Canada for the production and sale of its GE Atlantic salmon product in Canada. In 2021, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from the National Biosafety Technical Commission for the sale of its GE Atlantic salmon product in Brazil. In 2021, the Company began harvesting and selling its GE Atlantic salmon in the United States and Canada. Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The entities are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Liquidity The Company completed an equity raise in 2021with net proceeds of $119.1 million and has $102.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s plans include the continued construction of a 10,000 metric ton salmon farm in Ohio at a total project cost that is estimated to be between $375 million and $395 million. The Company plans to use cash-on-hand and debt financing to fund the remaining construction. While the Company has committed a significant amount of its current cash to fund a portion of the project, if necessary, management can utilize that cash for working capital purposes and therefore, management believes that it has sufficient cash to meet the Company's requirements beyond the next twelve months from the filing date of these consolidated financial statements. However, until such time as the Company reaches profitability, it will require additional financing to fund its operations and execute its business plan.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive loss

The Company displays comprehensive loss and its components as part of its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s marketable securities.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Parent is the US Dollar. The functional currency of the Canadian Subsidiary is the Canadian Dollar (C$) and the functional currency of the US and Brazil Subsidiaries is the US Dollar. For the Canadian Subsidiary, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at the historical exchange rate and the income statement accounts are translated at the average rate for each period during the year. Net translation gains or losses are adjusted directly to a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of business savings accounts, certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities include government bonds, corporate bonds and commercial paper. The Company's investment policy requires investments to be explicitly rated by two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch and to have a minimum rating of A1, P1 or F-1, respectively, from those agencies. In addition, the investment policy limits individual maturities to 12 months, the dollar-weighted average maturity to 180 days and the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer to 5%.

Fair Value of Financial instruments

The Company groups its financial instruments measured at fair value, if any, in three levels based on the markets in which the instruments are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgement used in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs derived principally from, or that can be corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgement or estimation.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of term debt includes market terms and interest rates. All of the Company’s interest-bearing debt is at fixed rates, except for the loan with First Farmer’s Bank and Trust, which has a rate reset in July 2025.

The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:



	Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
	Active Markets		Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs			Total
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Inventories

Inventories are mainly comprised of feed, eggs, fry, fish in process and fish for sale. Fish in process inventory is a biological asset that is measured based on the estimated biomass of fish on hand. The Company has established a standard procedure to estimate the biomass of fish on hand using counting and sampling techniques. The Company measures inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV), where NRV is defined as the estimated market price, less the estimated costs of processing, packaging and transportation. The Company considers fish that has been harvested and transported from its farm to be fish for sale.

Intangible assets

Definite lived intangible assets include patents and licenses. Patent costs consist primarily of legal and filing fees incurred to file patents on proprietary technology developed by the Company. Patent costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years beginning with the filing date of the applicable patent. License fees are capitalized and expensed over the term of the licensing agreement.

Indefinite lived intangible assets include trademark costs, which are capitalized with no amortization as they have an indefinite life.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company depreciates all asset classes over their estimated useful lives, as follows:



Building		20 - 25 years
Equipment		5 - 20 years
Office furniture and equipment		3 years
Leasehold improvements		shorter of asset life or lease term
Vehicles		3 years

The Company commences depreciation on an asset when it is placed into service.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, definite lived intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment when facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. The carrying values of such assets are considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying values. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of such assets.

Indefinite lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company’s impairment testing utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of the appropriate discount rate. An impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and fair value.

Leases

The Company leases certain facilities, property, and equipment under noncancelable operating leases. A determination is made if an arrangement is a lease at its inception, and leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. For operating leases, expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has agreements with lease (e.g., minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance), which are generally accounted for separately. The Company has not elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as one lease component.

Revenue recognition

The Company is comprised of one reporting segment and generates revenue from the sale of its products. Revenue is recognized when the customer takes physical control of the goods, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. Revenue excludes any sales tax collected and includes any estimate of future credits.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized the following product revenue:


	Year Ended December 31, 2021
		U.S.		Canada		Total
GE Atlantic salmon	$	427,615	$	355,391	$	783,006

Total Revenue	$	2,518,495	$	618,459	$	3,136,954

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had the following customer concentration of revenue:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2022	2021
Customer A	36%		30%
Customer B	17%		27%
Customer C	15%		21%
All other	32%		22%
Total of all customers	100%		100%

Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. A valuation allowance is established to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company follows accounting guidance regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” to be upheld under regulatory review. The resulting tax impact of these tax positions is recognized in the financial statements based on the results of this evaluation. The Company did not recognize any tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions, nor has it recognized any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax positions. The Company is not currently under exam and is no longer subject to federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.

Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic net loss per share is based solely on the number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted net loss per share includes the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options with an exercise price less than the fair value of the common stock. Since the Company is reporting a net loss for all periods presented, all potential common shares are considered anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect is anti-dilutive:


	Year Ended December 31,
Weighted Average Outstanding	2022	2021
Stock options	816,602	670,111
Warrants	418,441	532,380
Unvested restricted shares	166,261	68,981

Share-based compensation

The Company measures and recognizes all share-based payment awards, including stock options and restricted share units made to employees and Directors, based on estimated fair values. The fair value of a share-based payment award is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses the

Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) as its method of valuation. Non-employee stock-based compensation is accounted for using Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of warrants or options awarded to non-employees with the fair value of such issuances expensed over the period of service.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not expect any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards to have a material effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Risks and Uncertainties

3. Risks and uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common in the biotechnology and aquaculture industries. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) results from current and planned product development studies and trials; (ii) decisions made by the FDA or similar regulatory bodies in other countries with respect to approval and commercial sale of any of the Company’s proposed products; (iii) the commercial acceptance of any products approved for sale and the Company’s ability to produce, distribute, and sell for a profit any products approved for sale; (iv) the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary patents and proprietary rights to effectively protect its technologies; and (v) the outcome of any collaborations or alliances entered into by the Company.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. This risk is mitigated by the Company’s policy of maintaining all balances with highly rated financial institutions, investing cash equivalents with maturities of less than 90 days, and investing marketable securities with maturities of less than 180 days. The Company’s cash balances may at times exceed insurance limitations. The Company holds cash balances in bank accounts located in Canada to fund its local operations. These amounts are subject to foreign currency exchange risk, which is minimized by the Company’s policy to limit the balances held in these accounts. Balances in Canadian bank accounts at December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $518 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively. The Company also holds cash equivalent investments in a highly liquid investment account at a major financial institution. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 the cash equivalent investment balance was $10.6 million and $73.3 million, respectively.

Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (“ACOA”)

ACOA is a Canadian government agency that provides funding to support the development of businesses and promote employment in the Atlantic region of Canada.

ACOA Atlantic Innovation Fund (“AIF”) Grant

In January 2009, the Canadian Subsidiary was awarded an AIF grant from ACOA to provide a contribution towards the funding of a research and development project. Contributions under the grant were made through 2014 and no further funds are available. Amounts claimed by the Canadian Subsidiary must be repaid in the form of a 10% royalty on any products that are commercialized out of this research project until the loan is fully repaid. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s GE Atlantic salmon is not subject to the royalty, and the Company does not expect to commercialize products that would be subject to the royalty in the next five years.

ACOA term loans

In February 2016, the Canadian Subsidiary executed an agreement with ACOA to partially finance the renovations to the Rollo Bay farm site. All available funding under the agreement was disbursed through May 2017, and no further amounts are available. The loan is being repaid over a 108-month term at a zero percent interest rate.

In November 2018, the Canadian Subsidiary executed a second agreement with ACOA to partially finance the renovations to the Rollo Bay site. All available funding under the agreement was disbursed through March 2019, and no further amounts are available. The loan is being repaid over a 108-month term with a zero percent interest rate.

In July 2021, the Canadian Subsidiary entered into a contribution agreement with ACOA under its REGI-Business Scale-up and Productivity program to provide funding assistance for the Rollo Bay farm site, and on August 20, 2021, the Canadian Subsidiary received C$250,000 ($200,075). All funds received are to be repaid over a 36-month term commencing January 2023 at a zero percent interest rate.

Kubota

In January 2018, the Canadian Subsidiary financed the purchase of equipment through a loan with Kubota. The total amount is being repaid in monthly installments. The loan is secured by the underlying equipment.

Finance PEI (“FPEI”)

FPEI is a corporation of the Ministry of Economic Development and Tourism for Prince Edward Island, Canada, and administers business financing programs for the provincial government.

In August 2016, the Canadian Subsidiary obtained a loan from FPEI to partially finance the purchase of the assets of the former Atlantic Sea Smolt plant in Rollo Bay West on Prince Edward Island.

In 2018, the Canadian Subsidiary obtained a new loan from FPEI, which incorporated the existing loan and provided C$2.0 million ($1.5 million) of additional funds. All funds have been dispersed and the loan is being repaid over an 87-month term ending in November 2023. The loan has an interest rate of 4% and is collateralized by a mortgage executed by the Canadian Subsidiary, which conveys a first security interest in all of its current and acquired assets. A balloon payment for the loan is due in November 2023. The loan is guaranteed by the Parent.

First Farmers Bank & Trust (“FFBT”)

On July 31, 2020, the Company’s Indiana Subsidiary obtained a $4.0 million loan from First Farmers Bank and Trust. Net proceeds were $3.9 million after deducting $90 thousand in loan costs. The loan bears interest at a rate of 5.375% for the first five years. On July 31, 2025, the interest rate resets to the then U.S. Treasury 5-year maturities rate plus 5% and remains fixed at that rate through maturity on October 1, 2028. The note required interest only payments for the first 13 months, followed by monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $57 thousand through maturity. Proceeds from the loan may be used for the purpose of performing equipment upgrades, purchasing equipment and other improvements to the Indiana farm. The Company must comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants and provide certification of compliance quarterly. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. The loan is also subject to certain prepayment penalties and is secured by the assets of the Indiana subsidiary and a guarantee by the Parent. The loan agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance with the bank throughout the loan term. This amount is reflected as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

On October 12, 2021, the Company and FFBT agreed to a modification to the terms of its outstanding loan. The new terms delay the start date of certain of the loan’s negative covenants to the quarter commencing on October 1, 2022 and raises the required restricted

cash balance amount from $500 thousand to $1.0 million. On December 13, 2022, FFBT removed two of the loan’s negative covenants.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans (“DFO”)

DFO is a department of the government of Canada responsible for safeguarding its waters and managing its fisheries, oceans and freshwater resources. DFO supports economic growth in the marine and fisheries sectors, and innovation in areas such as aquaculture and biotechnology.

In September 2020, the Canadian Subsidiary entered into a Contribution Agreement with DFO's Atlantic Fisheries Fund, whereby it is eligible to receive up to C$1.9 million ($1.4 million) to finance new equipment for its Rollo Bay farm (the “DFO Term Loan”). On February 25, 2021, the Canadian Subsidiary borrowed C$238,400 ($187,120) and on April 27, 2021 the Canadian Subsidiary borrowed C$276,840 ($219,258) under the DFO Term Loan. On April 7, 2022, the Canadian Subsidiary borrowed C$53,456 ($42,338) and on December 1, 2022 the Canadian Subsidiary borrowed C$589,684 ($433,890) under the DFO Term Loan. Borrowings are interest free and monthly repayments commence in August 2024, with maturity in January 2034.

The Company recognized interest expense of $291 thousand and $316 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, on its interest-bearing debt.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

8. Stockholders’ equity

The Company’s shareholders have authorized 155 million shares of stock, of which 5 million are authorized as preferred stock and 150 million as common stock. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had zero shares of preferred stock and 71,110,713 shares and 71,025,738 shares of common stock, issued and outstanding, respectively.

Common stock

The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held at all meetings of stockholders. Dividends and distribution of assets of the Company in the event of liquidation are subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred shares.

Recent issuances

During 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 14,950,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $119.1 million.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 418,441 warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding. All outstanding warrants had an expiration date of January 17, 2023.

Share-based compensation

In 2006, the Company established the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provided for the issuance of incentive stock options to employees of the Company and non-qualified stock options and awards of restricted stock to Directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. In accordance with its original terms, the 2006 Plan terminated on March 18, 2016. All outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan will continue until their individual termination dates.

In March 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) to replace the 2006 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and awards of restricted and direct stock purchases to Directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Total common shares authorized under the 2016 Plan are 1,900,000, of which 452,620 shares are reserved for future issuance as of December 31, 2022.

Restricted stock

The Company’s restricted stock activity under the 2016 Plan is summarized as follows:


	Shares	Weighted ‎average grant ‎date fair value
Unvested at December 31, 2021	65,100	$	4.10
Granted	265,088		1.51
Vested	(128,979)		2.27
Forfeited	(1,755)		1.52
Unvested at December 31, 2022	199,454	$	1.86

During 2022 and 2021, the Company expensed $358 thousand and $240 thousand, respectively related to restricted stock awards. At December 31, 2022, the balance of unearned share-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to the restricted stock awards is $187 thousand. The period over which the unearned share-based compensation is expected to be earned is approximately 2.3 years.

Stock options

The Company’s option activity under the 2006 Plan and the 2016 Plan is summarized as follows:


	Number of ‎options	Weighted ‎average ‎exercise price
Outstanding at December 31, 2021	663,425	$	4.31
Issued	214,755		1.55
Exercised	(1,012)		1.52
Forfeited	(8,020)		1.52
Expired	(29,038)		5.82
Outstanding at December 31, 2022	840,110	$	3.58
Exercisable at December 31, 2022	678,634	$	3.97

Options issued to employees, members of the Board of Directors, and non-employees generally vest over a period of one year to three years and are exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of issuance.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2022 was $1.11 (2021: $5.36). There were 1,012 options exercised in 2022 (2021: 16,667). The total intrinsic value of options exercised in 2022 was $142 (2021: $41 thousand). As of December 31, 2022, the total intrinsic value of all options outstanding was $0 (2021: $18 thousand) and the total intrinsic value of exercisable options was $0 (2021: $11 thousand).

The following table summarizes information about options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2022:


Weighted ‎average exercise ‎price of outstanding ‎options	Number of ‎options ‎outstanding	Weighted ‎average remaining ‎estimated life ‎(in years)	Number of ‎options ‎exercisable
$1.49 - $2.50	715,985	7.1	567,130
$5.44 - $6.72	45,235	7.6	32,614
$7.50 - $10.80	12,303	1.0	12,303
$14.20 - $23.40	66,587	3.2	66,587
	840,110		678,634

The fair values of stock option grants to employees and members of the Board of Directors during 2022 and 2021 were measured on the date of grant using Black-Scholes, with the following weighted average assumptions:


		2022
Expected volatility		92% - 103%
Risk free interest rate		1.71% - 3.95%
Expected dividend yield		0.0%
Expected life (in years)		5

The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the Federal Funds interest rate for a period that is commensurate with the expected term of the awards. The expected dividend yield is zero because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not expect to do so for the foreseeable future. The expected life was based on a number of factors including historical experience, vesting provisions, exercise price relative to market price, and expected volatility. The Company believes that all groups of employees demonstrate similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior and, therefore, does not stratify employees into multiple groups and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The expected volatility was estimated using the Company’s historical price volatility over a period that is commensurate with the expected term of the awards.

Total share-based compensation on stock-option grants amounted to $177 thousand and $154 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the balance of unearned share-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to unvested share-based awards is $233 thousand. The period over which the unearned share-based compensation is expected to be earned is 2.4 years.

Share-based compensation

The following table summarizes share-based compensation costs recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:



		2022		2021
Sales and marketing		15,956		-

Income Taxes

9. Income taxes

The components of loss before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below:



	2022		2021
Domestic	$	(20,673,855)	$	(21,105,065)
Foreign		(1,483,340)		(1,217,523)
Loss before income taxes	$	(22,157,195)	$	(22,322,588)

We have made no provision for foreign or domestic income taxes on the cumulative unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We intend to permanently reinvest all foreign earnings and have no intention to repatriate foreign earnings for the foreseeable future.

Income taxes computed using the federal statutory income tax rate differs from the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to the following:



	2022		2021
Income tax benefit	$	(4,653,011)	$	(4,687,744)
State and provincial income tax, net of federal benefit		(1,031,963)		(1,157,840)
Permanent differences		(60,904)		202,583
US-Foreign rate differential		(65,058)		39,045
Other, net		483,873		(299,071)
	$	(5,327,063)	$	(5,903,027)
Change in valuation allowance		5,327,063		5,903,027
Total income tax	$	-	$	-

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has domestic net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $97 million, after consideration of limitations pursuant to section 382, to offset future federal taxable income, which begin to expire in 2033. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has domestic net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $69 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely. The future utilization of certain historic net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, however, is subject to annual use limitations based on the change in stock ownership rules of Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383. The Company experienced a change in ownership under these rules during 2012 and revised its calculation of net operating loss carryforwards based on annual limitation rules. The Company also has foreign research and development loss carryforwards totaling approximately $12 million and foreign research and development expense tax credits of approximately $2 million as of December 31, 2022, which expire at various times commencing in 2023. Since the Company has incurred only losses from inception and there is uncertainty related to the ultimate use of the loss carryforwards and tax credits, a valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the Company’s deferred tax assets, and no benefit for income taxes has been recorded.

The IRS recently released guidance which modifies the procedures for taxpayers that incur specified research or experimental (R&E) expenditures to change their method of accounting to comply with the new capitalization and amortization rules provided in Section 174, as revised by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new Section 174 rules require taxpayers to capitalize and amortize specified R&E expenditures over a period of five years (for domestic research) or 15 years (for foreign research), beginning with the midpoint of the taxable year in which the expenses are paid or incurred. The impact will be to defer the tax benefit of R&E expenditures.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:



		2022		2021
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	28,188,265	$	23,216,863
Foreign research and development tax credit carryforwards		2,454,756		2,428,663
Property and equipment		(249,382)		145,530
Intangibles and other		3,658,921		2,934,441
Total deferred tax assets	$	34,052,560	$	28,725,497
Valuation allowance		(34,052,560)		(28,725,497)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-	$	-

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

10. Commitments and contingencies

The Company recognizes and discloses commitments when it enters into executed contractual obligations with other parties. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that final disposition of any such matters existing at December 31, 2022, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Lease commitments

Lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounted to $86 thousand and $84 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases was 26 years. Lease payments included in operating cash flows totaled $84 thousand and $84 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The table below summarizes the Company’s lease obligations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:



	Lease Liability at December 31,
		2022		2021

Less: current portion		(20,831)		(66,269)
Long-term leases	$	203,227	$	224,058

The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 8% in calculating the net present value of the future lease payments. The current portion of the lease liability is included as a component of other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Nature of Business and Organization (Policy)	Dec. 31, 2022
Nature of Business and Organization [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of businessAquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (the “Parent” and, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in December 1991 in the State of Delaware for the purpose of conducting research and development of the commercial viability of a group of proteins commonly known as antifreeze proteins. In 1996, the Parent obtained the exclusive licensing rights for a gene construct (transgene) used to create a breed of farm‑raised Atlantic salmon that exhibit growth rates that are substantially faster than conventional salmon. In 2015, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the production and sale of its genetically engineered AquAdvantage salmon product (“GE Atlantic salmon”) in the United States and in 2016, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from Health Canada for the production and sale of its GE Atlantic salmon product in Canada. In 2021, the Parent obtained regulatory approval from the National Biosafety Technical Commission for the sale of its GE Atlantic salmon product in Brazil. In 2021, the Company began harvesting and selling its GE Atlantic salmon in the United States and Canada.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of presentationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The entities are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Liquidity	Liquidity The Company completed an equity raise in 2021with net proceeds of $119.1 million and has $102.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s plans include the continued construction of a 10,000 metric ton salmon farm in Ohio at a total project cost that is estimated to be between $375 million and $395 million. The Company plans to use cash-on-hand and debt financing to fund the remaining construction. While the Company has committed a significant amount of its current cash to fund a portion of the project, if necessary, management can utilize that cash for working capital purposes and therefore, management believes that it has sufficient cash to meet the Company's requirements beyond the next twelve months from the filing date of these consolidated financial statements. However, until such time as the Company reaches profitability, it will require additional financing to fund its operations and execute its business plan.

Inventories

InventoriesInventories are mainly comprised of feed, eggs, fry, fish in process and fish for sale. Fish in process inventory is a biological asset that is measured based on the estimated biomass of fish on hand. The Company has established a standard procedure to estimate the biomass of fish on hand using counting and sampling techniques. The Company measures inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV), where NRV is defined as the estimated market price, less the estimated costs of processing, packaging and transportation. The Company considers fish that has been harvested and transported from its farm to be fish for sale.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets

Indefinite lived intangible assets include trademark costs, which are capitalized with no amortization as they have an indefinite life.
