Item 1. Business
Overview
We are a technology-innovation company with a strategic focus on developing innovative products and services that serve growing consumer health and technology markets. Throughout our operating history, we have maintained our corporate identity, management team and original mission while strategically evolving our business in response to market conditions and commercial opportunities, with each such evolution being the product of deliberate decisions. We are actively seeking complementary bolt-on AI acquisitions that could generate near-term revenue to supplement our current operations as both segments continue to develop. We believe our diverse and evolving portfolio of commercial activities reflects our ongoing commitment to identifying and building value-oriented technology businesses for the benefit of its stockholders.
Current Business Operations
We currently operates through two business segments: (i) a consumer health technology segment, through which we distributes the Keto Air breathalyzer device — a non-invasive consumer breathalyzer that measures ketosis levels and is sold in North America, bearing an FDA registration number; and (ii) an artificial intelligence content technology segment, through which we develop and commercialize an AI-driven, short-form video generation platform operated by Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary formed in connection with our acquisition of RPM Interactive, Inc. in December 2025. Each segment is described in full below.
Consumer Health Technology Segment - Keto-Air Breathalyzer
Overview
Our consumer health technology segment is centered on the Keto Air breathalyzer device, a non-invasive consumer health product that allows users to determine whether they are in a state of nutritional ketosis, and at what level, by exhaling into a compact, pen-like breathalyzer. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for fuel rather than carbohydrates, and is widely associated with low-carbohydrate and ketogenic dietary regimens. The Keto Air device represents a meaningful improvement over prior methods of measuring ketosis, such as urine test strips or earlier-generation breathalyzers that required cartridge replacements, offering users a convenient, reusable, and non-invasive testing experience.
We entered into an exclusive North American distribution agreement for the Keto-Air technology and device in 2024. Pursuant to this agreement, we have exclusive distribution rights in the United States, Canada and Mexico through July of 2025 and since that time, we continue to be the only distributor in North America. We believe this provides us with a meaningful competitive advantage in the North American ketosis monitoring market for the duration of the agreement.
We previously had a THC breathalyzer device under development. In March 2026, we discontinued development of that product due to a lack of available funding. The discontinuation of the THC breathalyzer does not affect our Keto Air operations or sales of the Keto Air device..
Market Opportunity
Our commercial sales strategy for Keto Air utilizes two primary channels: social media influencer relationships and a commercial relationship with the Law Enforcement Association of America, which was developed through one of our consultants. We believe the Law Enforcement Association of America relationship is particularly well-suited to the Keto Air product given the relevance of metabolic health monitoring to the wellness programs of law enforcement personnel and their families.
We are currently in an early-stage commercial testing phase, during which we are assessing broader market demand, refining our distribution and marketing approach, and evaluating the most effective channels for scaling sales. We are continuing to assess the future strategic direction of our Keto Air product line in light of its commercial performance and our overall business portfolio.
Regulatory Status
The Keto Air device bears an FDA registration number, which is required for the commercial sale of such devices in the United States. The device is classified as a consumer product and is not a regulated medical device requiring FDA pre-market approval, and accordingly may be sold directly to any consumer without a prescription or other regulatory authorization. We believe this regulatory profile provides us with a straightforward commercial pathway to market in the United States and across North America.
Artificial Intelligence Content Technology Segment — Avalon Quantum AI, LLC / RPM Interactive
Overview
Our artificial intelligence content technology segment is operated through Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our company organized in the State of Nevada and formed in connection with our acquisition of RPM Interactive, Inc. ("RPM") in December 2025. RPM merged with and into Avalon Quantum AI, LLC pursuant to the merger, and Avalon Quantum AI, LLC continues to operate as our wholly owned subsidiary.
The RPM Platform — Phase 1
The RPM platform is an AI-driven, short-form video generation software. In its current Phase 1 form, the platform enables content creators — with an initial focus on the podcasting market — to input a topic of their choosing, after which the platform automatically scrapes the internet for relevant videos, identifies the most-viewed or most-discussed content on that topic, and generates a structured, three-minute video featuring an AI-generated avatar of the creator that replicates their voice and likeness. Each generated video consists of three segments: an introduction delivered by the creator's AI avatar, the featured video clip sourced by the platform, and a concluding statement also delivered by the AI avatar.
The core appeal of the RPM platform to content creators is efficiency: the software automates the time-consuming process of identifying and sourcing video content, writing scripts, and producing recordings, enabling creators to generate daily content at scale and drive increased views, clicks, and subscriber engagement across their platforms. We believe the demand for automated, high-quality content generation tools among the creator economy is substantial and growing, and that the RPM platform is well-positioned to address this demand.
The platform is currently in beta testing with a limited number of content creators. We are using this beta period to refine the platform's AI avatar generation capabilities, test the content sourcing and curation algorithms, and gather user feedback in advance of a broader commercial launch.
Phase 2 Development
Phase 2 of the RPM platform is currently in development and is expected to launch in Q3 of 2026. Phase 2 is expected to expand the platform's user base beyond podcasters to a substantially broader range of content creators and marketers, including social media influencers and individuals or businesses engaged in product marketing and e-commerce. Phase 2 will also feature a more refined AI avatar generation system, with enhanced voice and likeness replication capabilities designed to produce higher-quality, more personalized content at scale.
We believe the expansion of the platform's addressable market from podcasters to the broader creator and marketer economy in Phase 2 represents a significant step toward the commercial scaling of the RPM platform, and we intend to pursue a phased commercial launch strategy following the completion of Phase 2 development.
While we continue to develop and complete Phase 2, we continue to evaluate possible AI acquisitions that we believe could generate near-term revenue to supplement our current operations while the RPM platform continues through its development and commercial launch phases. We have not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any such acquisition as of the date of this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that we will identify, complete, or successfully integrate any such acquisition.
History of Operations
Wind-Down of China Operations (2022–2023)
Our initial commercial strategy was focused on the cellular therapy sector, where we sought to advance innovative cellular therapy technologies in both the United States and China. Beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2023, our Board of Directors determined to wind down our operations in the People's Republic of China and to divest all assets, subsidiaries, and relationships associated with our China-based activities. This decision reflected both the changed commercial and regulatory landscape applicable to our cellular therapy program and our inability to secure the capital necessary to advance the program at the scale required to achieve commercial viability. By November 2022, we had ceased all active operations in the PRC, and the wind-down was completed during 2023.
Laboratory Services Strategy (2023–2025)
In February 2023, through our subsidiary Avalon Lab, LLC, we acquired a 40% equity interest in Laboratory Services MSO, LLC, a California-based clinical laboratory company, for total consideration of approximately $20.7 million, comprised of approximately $9.0 million in cash, 11,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and an additional $666,667 cash payment made in February 2024. On February 26, 2025, we exited the investment entirely pursuant to a Redemption and Abandonment Agreement, receiving cash proceeds of $1,745,000 and surrendering our Series B Preferred Stock.
Search for Strategic Acquisitions and YOOV Merger Agreement (2024–2025)
In early 2024, our Board made a strategic determination to focus our acquisition efforts on YOOV Group Holding Limited ("YOOV"), a Hong Kong-based company. We conducted extensive due diligence, engaging on-site due diligence meetings with the YOOV management team. On March 7, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with YOOV and Nexus MergerSub Limited, pursuant to which YOOV would have become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of our company. During our continued review of YOOV's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board of Directors determined that it was not in the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the transaction. We terminated the merger agreement with YOOV effective January 21, 2026.
Acquisition of RPM Interactive, Inc. and Formation of Avalon Quantum AI, LLC (December 2025)
On December 15, 2025, we completed the acquisition of RPM Interactive, Inc. ("RPM"), a generative artificial intelligence software company, through a subsidiary merger whereby RPM merged with and into Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of our company organized in the State of Nevada. Avalon Quantum AI, LLC is the surviving entity and continues as our wholly owned subsidiary. We, as the surviving listed parent entity, continue to operate under our existing Nasdaq listing, and neither our corporate identity, our Nasdaq listing, nor our principal executive offices were altered as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition was effected as an all-stock transaction pursuant to which we issued 19,500 shares of our Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to RPM's former stockholders at a stated value of $1,000 per share, for a total stated purchase price of $19.5 million. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to: (i) a beneficial ownership cap of 4.99% per holder; (ii) an exchange cap preventing issuance in excess of applicable Nasdaq thresholds (the "Exchange Cap"); and (iii) stockholder approval required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, which we intend to seek at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The Series E Preferred Stock is non-voting prior to conversion. In connection with the acquisition, we appointed Michael Mathews to our Board of Directors. A full description of our RPM platform and Phase 2 development plans is set forth in Item 1.B above.
Intellectual Property
Cellular Therapy Patent Portfolio
We hold a portfolio of patents developed during our cellular therapy operating period. This portfolio includes patents that are co-owned with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT"), arising from a prior joint research agreement between our company and MIT, as well as patents co-owned with Arbelli, a Hong Kong-based company that collaborated with us during our cellular therapy research activities. We regard the MIT co-ownership as a material component of our patent portfolio, and we disclose it accordingly.
Although we have ceased all active research and development activities related to cellular therapy, we have made a deliberate decision to continue actively maintaining, or "prosecuting," these patents rather than allowing them to lapse or be abandoned. We believe the patents may have potential future value — whether through licensing, sale, or the resumption of activity in the cellular therapy space — and we intend to continue maintaining them for so long as we consider it commercially reasonable to do so. Any decisions regarding the licensing or enforcement of co-owned patents are subject to the terms of our co-ownership arrangements with MIT and Arbelli, which may limit our ability to license or enforce such patents unilaterally without the consent of our co-owners.
Artificial Intelligence Platform — Provisional Patent Applications
In connection with our acquisition of RPM Interactive, Inc. and the development of our generative AI content platform operated through Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, we have filed three provisional patent applications relating to aspects of the RPM platform's technology. Provisional applications establish an early filing date and provide a twelve-month period during which we may file corresponding non-provisional patent applications. We intend to evaluate the commercial and strategic value of converting these provisional applications into non-provisional applications during the applicable filing window. There can be no assurance that any patents will issue from these applications, or that any issued patents will provide meaningful competitive protection.
General Intellectual Property Policy
Our general policy is to seek, where appropriate, broad intellectual property protection for our current and future products, technologies, and proprietary information through a combination of patents, trade secrets, contractual arrangements, and other available means, both in the United States and internationally. We require all employees, consultants, advisors, and contractors to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit the disclosure and unauthorized use of our confidential information and, where applicable, require the disclosure and assignment to us of ideas, developments, discoveries, and inventions relevant to our technologies and important to our business. We also rely on trade secret protection for certain aspects of our proprietary technology and business processes, including aspects of the RPM platform's content sourcing and curation algorithms that we have determined are better protected as trade secrets than through patent disclosure.
Competition
We operate in two distinct and competitive markets, each with its own competitive dynamics. We face competition in both our consumer health technology segment and our artificial intelligence content technology segment, as described below.
Consumer Health Technology — Keto Air Breathalyzer
The market for consumer ketosis monitoring products is competitive and includes a range of products at varying price points and technology levels. Our primary competitors in this space include manufacturers and distributors of urine-based ketone test strips, which represent the most widely used and lowest-cost method of ketosis measurement and are available through a broad range of retail and online channels. We also compete with other breath-based ketone monitoring devices, including earlier-generation breathalyzers that required consumable cartridge replacements and more recent reusable breath ketone monitors that have been introduced to the market by consumer health technology companies.
We believe the Keto Air device competes favorably on the basis of its reusable design, ease of use, and the convenience of non-invasive breath-based testing relative to urine strip alternatives. As we are currently the only one selling the device in North America, we believe this provides us with a meaningful structural advantage relative to other distributors of similar products in our territory.. However, many of our actual and potential competitors in this space have significantly greater financial resources, brand recognition, established retail distribution networks, and marketing infrastructure than we do, and we may not be able to compete effectively with them over the long term.
Artificial Intelligence Content Technology — Avalon Quantum AI, LLC / RPM Platform
The market for AI-driven content creation tools is rapidly evolving, highly competitive, and characterized by continuous technological development and the frequent entry of new participants. We compete with a broad range of companies offering AI-powered video generation, content automation, and creator economy tools, including both established technology companies with significant resources and early-stage companies developing competing generative AI platforms.
Key competitive factors in this market include the quality and realism of AI-generated content, the breadth of the platform's addressable user base, the speed and automation of content generation workflows, the sophistication of voice and likeness replication technology, integration with major social media and content distribution platforms, and the ability to scale rapidly to meet growing creator demand. We believe our RPM platform competes on the basis of its end-to-end automation of the video content creation process — from topic input through content sourcing, curation, avatar generation, and final video production — which we believe meaningfully reduces the time and technical burden on content creators relative to less automated alternatives.
However, many of our actual and potential competitors in the generative AI space have substantially greater financial resources, research and development capabilities, engineering talent, data assets, and market presence than we do. Several large technology companies are actively investing in AI-generated content tools and avatar technology, and we expect competition in this market to intensify significantly as the technology matures and the creator economy continues to grow. Smaller and early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly those that secure strategic partnerships with established platform operators or content networks.
Employees
As of March 25, 2026, we employed two full time employees and several independent contractors. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining arrangement.
Regulatory Environment
Our business is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and, to the extent we expand internationally, abroad. The principal regulatory frameworks applicable to our two current operating segments are described below. We anticipate that the regulatory environment applicable to our business — particularly with respect to artificial intelligence and consumer data privacy — will continue to evolve rapidly, and we intend to monitor legislative and regulatory developments and adapt our compliance programs accordingly.
Consumer Health Technology — FDA Regulatory Framework Applicable to Keto Air
The Keto Air breathalyzer device is subject to the regulatory authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FD&C Act"). The device is currently classified as a consumer product bearing an FDA registration number, which is required for the lawful commercial sale of such devices in the United States. The Keto Air device is not classified as a regulated medical device requiring FDA pre-market approval or clearance under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, and accordingly may be sold directly to consumers without a prescription or other regulatory authorization.
We are required to maintain the device's FDA registration on an annual basis and to comply with applicable FDA general controls, including labeling requirements and prohibitions on the promotion of the device for uses beyond its registered classification. We do not make any medical claims with respect to the Keto Air device, and our marketing materials are reviewed to ensure compliance with FDA labeling and advertising standards. We are also subject to applicable Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations governing the safety of consumer products sold in the United States.
We note that the regulatory classification of consumer health and wellness devices is subject to ongoing FDA review and interpretation, and there can be no assurance that the FDA will not, in the future, subject the Keto Air device or similar products to more stringent regulatory requirements, including pre-market approval or clearance obligations. Any such reclassification could materially affect our ability to sell the Keto Air device in the United States. See Item 1A — Risk Factors for a further discussion of regulatory risks applicable to our consumer health technology segment.
Artificial Intelligence Content Technology — AI-Specific Regulatory Landscape
The regulatory environment applicable to our artificial intelligence content technology segment is rapidly evolving and subject to significant uncertainty. The RPM platform generates AI-driven short-form video content featuring AI-generated avatars that replicate the voice and likeness of content creators. This functionality implicates a range of existing and emerging regulatory frameworks, each of which is described below.
Right of Publicity and Name and Likeness Laws
The RPM platform's AI avatar feature — which replicates the voice and likeness of a content creator based on input data provided by or about that creator — implicates state right of publicity laws in the United States, which protect individuals against the unauthorized commercial use of their name, image, voice, and likeness. Right of publicity laws vary significantly across states, with particularly robust statutory frameworks in California, New York, and Texas, among others. Several states have recently enacted or are actively considering legislation specifically addressing the use of artificial intelligence to generate synthetic media replicating an individual's voice or likeness. We are actively monitoring developments in this area and have structured our platform's onboarding process to require content creators to affirmatively authorize the creation of their AI avatar as a condition of use. There can be no assurance, however, that our current practices will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of all applicable state laws as they continue to evolve.
Federal Trade Commission Regulation
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has broad authority to regulate unfair or deceptive acts and practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, and has increasingly focused its enforcement activity on the use of artificial intelligence in commercial contexts. The FTC has issued guidance requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure of AI-generated content in advertising and commercial communications, and has signaled that the use of AI-generated endorsements, testimonials, or representations of real individuals without adequate disclosure may constitute an unfair or deceptive trade practice. We intend to comply with applicable FTC disclosure guidance in connection with the commercial deployment of the RPM platform and will include appropriate disclosures in our platform's terms of service and content labeling practices.
Platform Content Policies
The RPM platform is designed to generate content for distribution across major social media and content platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and others. Each of these platforms maintains its own content policies governing the disclosure and permissibility of AI-generated content, synthetic media, and avatar-based representations of real individuals. These policies are subject to frequent revision and vary across platforms. Failure to comply with applicable platform content policies could result in the removal of content generated through the RPM platform, the suspension or termination of creator accounts on those platforms, or other restrictions that could adversely affect the utility and commercial appeal of our platform to content creators.
Evolving Federal AI Regulation
The U.S. Congress and various federal agencies are actively considering comprehensive federal legislation and regulatory frameworks governing the development, deployment, and commercial use of artificial intelligence technologies. While no comprehensive federal AI law has been enacted as of the date of this Annual Report, we anticipate that federal AI regulation will develop in the near to medium term and may impose disclosure, transparency, accountability, or other obligations on companies operating AI-powered content generation platforms such as ours. We are monitoring these legislative and regulatory developments and intend to engage with applicable regulatory processes as they evolve.
International Regulatory Considerations
To the extent the RPM platform is accessed by users located outside the United States, we may become subject to international AI regulatory frameworks, including the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (the "EU AI Act"), which entered into force in 2024 and establishes a tiered risk-based regulatory framework for AI systems deployed in the European Union. AI systems that generate synthetic audio or video content depicting real individuals may be subject to specific transparency and disclosure obligations under the EU AI Act. We are evaluating the extent to which our current and planned platform activities may implicate obligations under the EU AI Act and other international AI regulatory frameworks.
Data Privacy and Security
Our business activities involve the collection, storage, and processing of certain personal information, including consumer data collected through Keto Air device sales and email communications, and content creator data — including voice and likeness data — collected through the RPM platform's beta program. We are subject to a range of federal, state, and international data privacy and security laws and regulations governing the collection, use, sharing, protection, and retention of personal data.
At the federal level, the FTC continues to apply its general consumer protection authority under Section 5 of the FTC Act to commercial data practices, including data security failures and unfair or deceptive privacy practices. At the state level, we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), which establishes transparency obligations, restricts certain uses of personal information of California residents, and provides California residents with rights to access, correct, and delete their personal information and to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. Similar state privacy laws have been enacted in a growing number of states, and we are monitoring and evaluating our compliance obligations under each applicable framework. All U.S. states have enacted data breach notification laws requiring notification to affected individuals and state regulators in the event of certain unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information.
The collection and processing of voice and likeness data through the RPM platform's avatar generation feature may implicate additional obligations under state biometric data privacy laws, including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA") and similar statutes in other states, which impose specific consent, retention, and data security requirements on the collection and use of biometric identifiers, including voiceprints. We are actively evaluating our obligations under applicable biometric data privacy laws in connection with the commercial deployment of the RPM platform.
The scope and interpretation of applicable data privacy laws continue to evolve rapidly, and we anticipate that our compliance obligations will increase as our platform scales and as new laws are enacted. See Item 1A — Risk Factors and Item 1C — Cybersecurity for a further discussion of data privacy and cybersecurity risks.
