Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its note and accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they donot share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible This estimate is adjusted for management's assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the customer is facing significant financial difficulty and there isno possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in operations or an offset to note and credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity's accounting policy election.
On* June 6, 2025,ONM Environmental entered into an amendment to the June 2021Preferred Master Manufacturing Agreement with Ikigai Holdings, LLC and Pooph Inc. to allow Pooph Inc. to pay past due amounts of $1,378,141 in royalties and $2,385,468 on product invoices through a weekly payment plan bearing 10% interest and maturing July 3, 2026 (the “PMMA Amendment”). This amount was recorded on our balance sheet at June 30, 2025,as a note receivable. The PMMA Amendment also modified payment and invoicing terms on existing and future product purchase orders, and allowed ONM Environmental to withhold product if the payment terms werenot* met. On* August 5, 2025,Pooph Inc. delivered a royalty report due for thesecond* quarter of2025, but didnot pay the $463,520 in royalties due. On* August 15, 2025,it failed to make the weekly payment required pursuant to the PMMA Amendment, and hasnot* made a payment since. On* September 19, 2025,Pooph Inc. disclosed that it had been working independently on developing a new formula for Pooph-branded products to replace BioLargo's formula, and that it was terminating the Preferred Master Manufacturing Agreement, citing the refusal to deliver products. On September 24, 2025,BioLargo and ONM delivered notice to Pooph that the grant of license was immediately revoked due to Pooph’s failure to pay royalties, and that it was terminating the License Agreement in its entirety with150* days’ notice. The notice further advised that Pooph isnot allowed to market or sell products that incorporate, use, or are based on, in whole or in part, BioLargo’s patents and proprietary information, including butnot limited to know-how, disclosed to Pooph, and that absent reinstatement of the grant of license, Pooph must immediately stop marketing and selling any such products in its possession, custody or control (or sold through market portals or platforms such as Amazon). On* November 11, 2025,BioLargo Inc. and ONM Environmental filed a lawsuit against Pooph Inc. and Ikigai Marketing Works LLC (successor entity to Ikigai Holdings LLC) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. (See Note13*, "Legal Proceedings".)
During thethree months ended* September 30, 2025,BioLargo management determined that the note receivable and accounts receivable owed by Pooph Inc. were fully impaired, resulting in a $3,849,000 credit loss expense recorded on our condensed consolidated statement of operations, which reduced operating income and current assets by that amount. There wereno* write-offs of accounts receivable during thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2025and2024.*

Credit Concentration
We have a limited number of customers that account for significant portions of our revenue. During thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2025and2024*, one customer accounted for more than10% of consolidated revenues:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Customer A | 35% | 76% | 64% | 78% |
At* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, one customer accounted for more than10% of consolidated accounts receivable (see Note7):
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer A | — | 82% |
| Customer B | 38% | — |

| Total | $116 | $95 |
Equity Method of Accounting
On* March 20, 2020,*we invested $100,000 into a South Korean entity (Odin Co. Ltd., “Odin”) pursuant to a Joint Venture agreement we had entered into with BKT Co. Ltd. and its U.S. based subsidiary, Tomorrow Water. We received a 40% non-dilutive equity interest, and BKT and Tomorrow Water each received 30% equity interests for an aggregate $150,000 investment.
We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. We have determined that while we have significant influence over the joint venture through our technology license and our position on the Board of Directors, we donot control the joint venture or are otherwise involved in managing the entity and we own less than a majority of the equity. Therefore, we recognized the investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and record an increase or decrease of the recorded balance by our percentage ownership of the profits or losses in the joint venture. For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2025*, the increase of our investment interest totaled $9,000, compared to a reduction of our investment totaling $3,000 and $4,000 in the same periods in2024.
Impairment
Long-lived and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset* may**not* be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured based on the fair value of the asset. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operations.
Loss Per Share
We report basic and diluted loss per share (“LPS”) for common and common share equivalents. Basic LPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted LPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock. For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2025and2024*, the denominator in the diluted LPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic LPS due to the Company’s net loss which creates an anti-dilutive effect of the warrants and stock options. As of* September 30, 2025* the vested stock options available to be exercised totaled 63,781,849 and the vested warrants available to be exercised totaled 28,980,918.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, debt transactions, derivative liabilities, expected credit losses, asset depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, among others.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation Expense
We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award, which is the vesting period. Fair value is determined on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model.
For stock and stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees for services, the Company measures and records an expense as of the earlier of the date at which either: a commitment for performance by the non-employee has been reached or the non-employee’s performance is complete. The equity instruments are measured at the current fair value, and for stock options, the instruments are measured at fair value using the Black Scholes Option pricing model.
The following methodology and assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation for thenine months ended* September 30, 2025* and2024:
| 2025 · 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non Plan | 2024 Plan | Non Plan | 2018 Plan | 2024 Plan | |
| Risk free interest rate | 4.23% | 3.69 - 4.58% | 3.81 - 4.34% | 4.16% | 3.75 - 4.58% |
| Expected volatility | 91% | 87 - 91% | 95 - 117% | 99 - 102% | 95 - 96% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — | — | — | — |
| Forfeiture rate | — | — | — | — | — |
| Life in years | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Expected price volatility is the measure by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of an option. The expected volatility is derived from the historical daily change in the market price of our common stock, as we believe that historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility.
The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes calculation is based on the prevailing U.S. Treasury yield as determined by the U.S. Federal Reserve. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and donot anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Warrants
Warrants issued with our convertible and non-convertible debt instruments are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method. The warrant isfirst analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features ornot. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative andnot qualify for equity treatment, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes Option pricing model and recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”). If the warrant is determined tonot have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes Option pricing model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note. Convertible debt instruments are recorded at fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant. The warrant relative fair values are also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory notes.
-11 -
Non-Cash Transactions
We determine the value assigned to each intangible we acquire, and/or services or products received for non-cash consideration of our common stock based on the market price of our common stock issued as consideration, at the date of the agreement of each transaction or when the service is rendered or product is received.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps:
Step1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step3: Determine the transaction price.
Step4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company’s products are sold through a contract with the customer and a written purchase order, in which the details of the contract are defined including the transaction price and method of shipment. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product, and each product has separate pricing. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the goods are shipped if the agreement is FOB manufacturer, and when goods are delivered if FOB destination. Revenue is recognized with a reduction for sales discounts, as appropriate and negotiated in the customer’s purchase order.
Service contracts are performed through a written contract, which specifies the performance obligations and the rate at which the services will be billed, typically by time and materials. Each service is separately negotiated and priced. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and completed, or, for services related to product installations, at the completion of the installation. A few contracts have called for milestone or fixed cost payments, where we invoice an agreed-to amount per month for the life of the contract. In these instances, completed work, billed hourly, is recognized as revenue. If the billing amount is greater or lesser than the completed work, a receivable or payable is created. These accounts are adjusted upon additional billings as the work is completed. To date, there have beenno discounts or other financing terms for the contracts.
As we generate revenues from royalties or license fees from our intellectual property, a licensee will pay a license fee inone or more installments and ongoing royalties based on their sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual property. We have entered into a licensing agreement for the CupriDyne Clean product, and we recognize royalty and license fees on a quarterly basis as the product is sold through tothird parties and reported to us.
Our Canadian subsidiary had a grant deposit outstanding at* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, totaling $79,000 and $76,000. These were awarded as part of a grant for a particular project that has been delayed. ONM Environmental had a customer deposit outstanding at* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, totaling $1,000 and $14,000 related to customer purchase ordersnot yet fulfilled.
Government Grants
We have been awarded multiple research grants from the private and public Canadian research programs. The income we receive directly from grants is recorded as other income. We have been awarded over90 grants since ourfirst in2015. Some of the funds from these grants are given directly tothird parties (such as the University of Alberta or athird-party research scientist) to support research on our technology. The grants have terms generally ranging betweensix andeighteen months and support a majority, butnot all, of the related research budget costs. This cooperative research allows us to utilize (i) a depth of resources and talent to accomplish highly skilled work, (ii) financial aid to support research and development costs, (iii) independent and credible validation of our technical claims.
-12 -
The grants typically provide for (i) recurring monthly amounts, (ii) reimbursement of costs for research talent for which we invoice to request payment, and (iii) ancillary cost reimbursement for research talent travel related costs. All awarded grants have specific requirements on how the money is spent, typically to employ researchers.None of the funds* maybe used for general administrative expenses or overhead in the United States. These grants have substantially increased our level of research and development activities in Canada. We continue to apply for Canadian government and agency grants to fund research and development activities.Not all of our grant applications have been awarded, andno* assurance can be made that any pending grant application, or any future grant applications, will be awarded.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We account for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position isnot considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, thenno benefits of the position are recognized. Management believes there areno unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*.
The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset couldnot be realized as of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*. Accordingly, a100% valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024* approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable, and debt obligations. The carrying amount of debt instruments are believed to approximate fair value as the stated interest rates are reflective of the prevailing market rates.

Leases
At inception of a lease contract, we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset during such time period. At inception of a lease, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease must be classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it doesnot meet any of these criteria. We haveone lease classified as a finance lease. For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, management estimates the incremental borrowing rate, which currently is estimated to be 18%. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease willnot be terminated early. Lease components are included in the measurement of the initial lease liability. Additional payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have electednot to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability wasnot material. As of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, the operating right-of-use assets totaled $1,070,000, and $992,000, respectively. As of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, the operating lease liability totaled $1,111,000 and $1,027,000, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to our operating leases. The finance lease is related to Clyra. As of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, the finance right-of-use asset for Clyra totaled $400,000 and $451,000 and the finance lease liability totaled $383,000 and $448,000, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to our finance lease.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 -10 years. Additions, renewals, and betterments that significantly extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in operations for the period.
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | $1,711 | $1,678 |
| Leasehold improvements | 526 | 526 |
| Total, at cost | 2,237 | 2,204 |
| Less: accumulated depreciation | (573) | (462) |
| Total equipment and leasehold improvements, net | $1,664 | $1,742 |
Noncontrolling Interest
A noncontrolling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entitynot attributable, directly or indirectly, to the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity on a condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net loss is modified to present the loss attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. The noncontrolling interest on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets represents equitynot held by the Company. In accordance with ASC810-10-20, “Noncontrolling Interests” BioLargo consolidatesthree non-wholly owned subsidiaries - Clyra, BLEST and BETI. Noncontrolling interest of Clyra represents 52% and 48% as of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*. Noncontrolling interest of BLEST represents 26% as of* September 30, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*. Noncontrolling interest of BETI represents 4% as of* September 30, 2025*, and* December 31, 2024*.
