TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Current report
We are currently in the process of applying for U.S. government payment or reimbursement for the inFoods® IBS product through the Medicare system. If we are successful in attaining reimbursement, we will move forward with applying for reimbursement of this product by private payer insurance companies. If patients are able to attain and use our inFoods® IBS product at no cost, or with a small co-payment, we believe this will dramatically increase our revenues from this product.
Current report
The following is a breakdown of revenues according to markets to which the products are sold:
Current report
For the three months ended August 31, 2025, consolidated net sales reached approximately $1,380,000, compared to $1,807,000 for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $427,000, or 24%. The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to reduced retail market activity, lower international over-the-counter (“OTC”) sales related in part to tariff impacts, and decreased demand under certain contract manufacturing agreements. Additionally, we experienced continued volatility in clinical laboratory demand during the period. These declines were partially offset by increased demand for our inFoods® IBS product.
Current report
For the three months ended August 31, 2025, consolidated cost of sales amounted to approximately $956,000, or 69% of net sales, compared to $1,518,000, or 84% of net sales, for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $562,000, or 37%. The reduction in cost of sales was primarily driven by lower contract manufacturing costs, reflecting changes in product mix and improved production efficiency. In addition, we benefited from a reduction in direct labor costs following a Reduction in Force (“RIF”) implemented in the prior fiscal year. As a result of these factors, our gross margin improved compared to the same period of the previous year.
Current report
For the three months ended August 31, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $1,330,000, compared to $1,360,000 for the same period in 2024, reflecting a decrease of $30,000, or 2%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction of approximately $65,000 in salaries and wages resulting from a RIF executed in July 2024, a $68,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense, and a $43,000 decrease in legal expenses related to lower inFoods® patent application activities. These decreases were partially offset by a $131,000 increase in professional service fees for ERC filings.
Current report
Interest, Dividend Income and Other Income
Current report
For the three months ended August 31, 2025, interest, dividend, and other income totaled approximately $1,123,000, compared to $56,000 for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately $1,067,000. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1,100,000 cash refund received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on July 21, 2025, related to previously filed claims for the ERC, a refundable payroll tax credit established under the CARES Act. The ERC was available to eligible employers for wages paid during calendar year 2021 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This credit represents a one-time benefit that is not expected to recur in future periods.
Current report
Excluding the ERC refund, interest and dividend income decreased by approximately $29,000, primarily due to lower market interest rates during the current quarter compared to the prior year.
Current report
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
Current report
During the three months ended August 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,344,000. The primary factors that contributed to this were a loss of approximately $1,316,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $616,000, and a decrease in lease liability of $78,000. These were partially offset by a decrease in inventories of $429,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other of $106,000, and non-cash expenses of approximately $191,000.
Current report
During the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not acquire any new property, equipment, or patents.

Three months ended February 28, 2025
Previous report
Consolidated net sales were approximately $1,119,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2025, as compared to $1,017,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2024, an increase of approximately $102,000 or 10%. This increase for the three months ended February 28, 2025, was primarily attributed to increased sales of our food intolerance products, reflecting a growing interest and engagement in this category. Sales in this segment are subject to periodic and infrequent orders, contributing to potential volatility in quarterly sales.
Previous report
Consolidated cost of sales were approximately $1,100,000, or 98% of net sales, for the three months ended February 28, 2025, as compared to $1,166,000, or 115% of net sales, for the three months ended February 29, 2024, a decrease of approximately $66,000, or 6%. The decrease for the three months ended February 28, 2025 was primarily driven by the reduction in force (“RIF”) executed in July 2024, which helped to decrease labor costs for the quarter.
Previous report
For the three months ended February 28, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $1,012,000, representing a significant reduction of $496,000 or 33%, compared to $1,508,000 for the corresponding period in 2024. This reduction was primarily due to a $225,000 decrease in stock compensation for the administration and a Reduction in Force (RIF) implemented in July 2024, which resulted in a $183,000 decrease in payroll expenses. Additionally, legal expenses were reduced by $46,000. These efforts demonstrate our focus on operating discipline and cost optimization as we align our cost structure with near-term business priorities, while preserving the resources needed to support long-term growth.
Previous report
Interest and Dividend Income
Previous report
For the three months ended February 28, 2025, interest and dividend income totaled approximately $43,000, compared to $86,000 for the corresponding period in 2024, representing a decrease of $43,000, or 50%. This reduction was primarily attributable to lower market interest rates affecting our lower cash balances, which had decreased by February 28, 2025.
Previous report
Nine months ended February 28, 2025
Previous report
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, consolidated net sales reached approximately $4,562,000, marking a 6% increase or $263,000 from $4,299,000 in the same period of 2024. This growth was largely driven by enhanced contract manufacturing billings and increased demand for our inFoods® IBS product. Although there was a decline in over-the-counter (OTC) sales due to reduced retail market activity, and some volatility in clinical laboratory sales, the company successfully maintained a positive sales trajectory through strategic diversification and bolstered demand in key sectors.
Previous report
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, consolidated cost of sales was approximately $3,820,000, representing 84% of net sales, compared to $3,708,000, or 86% of net sales, for the same period in 2024. This 3% increase, amounting to $112,000, was primarily driven by expanded contract manufacturing sales. Notably, the implementation of a RIF in July 2024 effectively reduced direct labor costs, thereby contributing to improved gross margins.
Previous report
Operating Expenses
Previous report
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled approximately $3,544,000, compared to $4,204,000 for the same period in 2024. This represents a decrease of $660,000, or 16%. This notable reduction in expenses reflects our strategic financial management and can be attributed to multiple factors: the absence of a sales reserve for OTC products from the previous year, reducing costs by $175,000; a $262,000 decrease in stock compensation; and a $172,000 in payroll savings following a RIF implemented in July 2024. Furthermore, we reduced advertising expenses by $50,000. These overall cost reductions demonstrate our commitment to strategically allocating capital and maintaining financial discipline as we continue to pursue growth opportunities.
Previous report
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, consolidated R&D expenses were approximately $771,000, a decrease of 37% from $1,226,000 during the same period in 2024. This $455,000 reduction was largely due to a $303,000 decrease in R&D wages following a RIF implemented in July 2024. As part of our strategic cost-cutting initiatives, several clinical trials were scaled back, leading to lower expenditures. Furthermore, with the commercialization of inFoods® IBS, we strategically reduced R&D funding in this area, which accounted for an additional $75,000 decrease in related expenses.
Previous report
Interest and Dividend Income
Previous report
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, interest and dividend income totaled approximately $140,000, compared to $317,000 for the corresponding period in 2024, representing a decrease of $177,000, or 56%. This reduction was primarily attributable to lower market interest rates affecting our lower cash balances, which had decreased by February 28, 2025
Previous report
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Previous report
During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, cash used in operating activities was approximately $4,317,000. The primary factors that contributed to this was a loss of approximately $4,557,000, non-cash expenses of $723,000, primarily associated with depreciation and amortization, provision for allowance on accounts receivable, inventory reserves, share-based compensation, and amortization of right-of-use assets. This was partially offset by changes in asset and liability accounts of approximately $483,000.
Previous report
Importantly, we have made significant progress in reducing our underlying cost structure. When excluding the positive impact of proceeds from the ATM offering, our current quarterly cash burn has improved to approximately $800,000 compared to approximately $1,800,000 in the same period of last year. This reduction reflects our disciplined execution of cost saving initiatives, stronger sales from a more diverse portfolio, and tighter management of working capital.
Previous report
During the nine months ended February 28, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $0 for purchases of property and equipment, and $37,000 in expenditures related to patents.
Previous report
During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, cash used in investing activities was approximately $27,000 for purchases of property and equipment, and $64,000 in expenditures related to patents.
Previous report
During the nine months ended February 28, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $2,116,000. This influx was primarily driven by net proceeds from the sale of common stock totaling $2,015,000 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options amounting to $16,000. These contributions were partially offset by deferred offering costs of $85,000.

As part of our financing plan, on September 28, 2023, we filed a new “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, to replace the expiring S-3 that was filed in July 2020, which was declared effective on September 29, 2023, allowing us to issue up to $20,000,000 in common shares. Under this registration statement, shares of our common stock may be sold from time to time for up to three years from the filing date. On May 10, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC to facilitate the sale of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. As part of this transaction, we incurred $81,000 in deferred offering costs. The amount of capital that we can raise under the ATM offering is highly dependent upon the trading volume and the trading price of our stock. The average trading volume of our stock over the last three full calendar months is 7,798,345 shares per day and the high and low trading price of our stock during the same period of time was $0.27 and $1.03, respectively. If our stock continues to trade at low volumes and price, the amount of capital that we can raise under the ATM offering will be constrained.

Previous wording
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the current conditions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

Previous wording
We believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, in that they require subjective or complex judgments, form the basis for the accounting policies deemed to be most critical to us. These relate to revenue recognition, credit losses, inventory overhead application, inventory reserves, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and share-based compensation. We believe estimates and assumptions related to these critical accounting policies are appropriate under the circumstances; however, should future events or occurrences result in unanticipated consequences, there could be a material impact on our future financial condition or results of operations. We suggest that our significant accounting policies be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Please refer to Note 2 for information on Significant Accounting Policies. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.
