During the year ended* December 31, 2024,pursuant to our Unit Offerings (see Note3*), we issuedsix-month stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,849,284 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.23 and $0.40 per share, andfive-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,278,232 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.19 and $0.50 per share. The relative fair value of the warrant component of the units sold to investors totaled $230,000. The Black-Scholes model was used to calculate relative fair value, further discounted by the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the common stock component.

Fair Value–*** Warrants***

To determine interest expense related to our outstanding warrants issued in conjunction with debt offerings, the fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the relative fair values are amortized over the life of the warrant. For the determination of expense of warrants issued for services, extinguishment of debt and settlement management also uses the option-pricing model. The principal assumptions we used in applying this model were as follows:

20252024
Risk free interest rate3.67 - 3.73%4.15 - 5.38%
Expected volatility72 - 73%64 - 87%
Expected dividend yield——
Forfeiture rate——
Expected life in years.5 - 5.5 - 5

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life in years is based on the contract term of the warrant.

Note8.**** Provision for Income Taxes**

Given our historical losses from operations, income tax obligations have been limited to the minimum franchise tax assessed by the State of California. Since2016**, we havenot consolidated for tax purposes with our subsidiary Clyra Medical, as our ownership interest was less than80%**. Our subsidiary BLEST is a Tennessee limited liability company and as a pass-through entity doesnot pay federal taxes. However, the state of Tennessee charges franchise and excise taxes for limited liability companies, and thus BLEST will incur a nominal franchise tax and willnot pay an excise tax unless and until it is profitable.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely thannot that the Company willnot realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of* December 31, 2025and2024*, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.

Note*11.*Noncontrolling Interest– **BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC

In* September 2017**,we commenced a full-service environmental engineering firm and formed a Tennessee entity named BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”). In conjunction with the start of this subsidiary, we entered into athree-year office lease in the Knoxville, Tennessee area, and entered into employment agreements withsix* scientists and engineers. (See Note12 “Business Segment Information”.) BLEST was capitalized withtwo classes of membership units: Class A,100% owned by BioLargo, and Class B, held by management of BLEST, and which initially haveno “profit interest,” as that term is defined in Tennessee law. However, over the succeeding five years, the Class B members can earn up to a 30% profit interest. They also have been granted options to purchase up to an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of BioLargo, Inc. common stock. The profit interest and option shares are subject to afive year vesting schedule tied to the performance of the subsidiary, including gross revenue targets that increase over time, obtaining positive cash flow by* March 31, 2018** (which wasnot* met), collecting 90% of its account receivables, obtaining a profit of 10% in itsfirst year (and increasing in subsequent years), making progress in the scale-up and commercialization of our AOS system, and using BioLargo research scientists (such as our Canadian team) for billable work on client projects. These criteria are to be evaluated annually by BLEST’s compensation committee (which includes BioLargo’s president, CFO, and BLEST’s president), beginning* September 2018**.*Given the significant performance criteria, the Class B units and the stock options will only be recognized in compensation expense if or when the criteria are satisfied.

The BLEST Compensation Committee has met regularly since the subsidiary commenced operations. In* December 2025**,* the committee determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met and issued additional profit interests would be vested (30% in the aggregate) and vested additional option interests (1,750,000 option shares in the aggregate). In* December 2024**,* the committee determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met and issued additional profit interests would be vested (26.25% in the aggregate) and vested additional option interests. The vesting of option shares during the years ended* December 31, 2025and2024* resulted in a fair value totaling $55,000 each year and is recorded on our consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expense*.*

Note12.**** Business Segment Information**

For the years ended* December 31, 2025and2024*, BioLargo hadsix operating business segments, plus its corporate entity which is responsible for general corporate operations, including administrative functions, finance, human resources, marketing, legal, etc. Thesix operational business segments are:

1.ONM Environmental -- which sells odor and volatile organic control products and services, located in Westminster, California;
2.BLEST - which provides professional engineering services on a time and materials basis for outside clients and supports our internal operations as needed., located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee;
3.Clyra Medical Technologies (“Clyra Medical”) -- which develops and sells medical products based on our technologies;
4.BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. (“BETI”) - which is developing our proprietary battery technology;
5.BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies (“BEST”) - which sells our water treatment equipment; and
6.BioLargo Canada - the main hub of our scientists researching and developing our technologies, located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.

Other than ONM Environmental,none of our operating business units have operated at a profit, and therefore each required additional cash to meet its monthly expenses, funded through sales of debt or equity, research grants, and tax credits. Clyra Medical and BETI have been funded bythird party investors who invest directly in in these entities in exchange for equity ownership in that entity.

Note13.**** Leases**

We have long-term operating leases for office, industrial and laboratory space in Westminster, California, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Alberta, Canada. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating lease agreement. Short-term leases less thanone-year arenot included in our analysis. For the years ended* December 31, 2025and2024**,* rental expense was $404,000 and $365,000, respectively. The lease of our Canadian facility is less thanone year.None of our leases have additional terms related to the payments or mechanics of the lease. The leases haveno additional payment terms such as common area maintenance payments, tax sharing payments or other allocable expenses. Likewise, the leases donot contain other terms and conditions of use, such as variable lease payments, residual value guaranties or other restrictive financial terms. Since there isno explicit interest rate in our leases, management used its incremental borrowing rate, which is estimated to be 18% to determine lease liability.

As of* December 31, 2025**,*our weighted average remaining lease term isfive years, and the total remaining operating lease payments is $1,686,000. Payments over the remaining lease terms is as follows:

ONM Environmental disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. While the outcomes of the lawsuits are uncertain, management believes that the resolutions of these proceedings willnot have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, adverse outcomes could materially impact future financial results.
