Current report

We are currently in the process of pursuing U.S. government payment or reimbursement for the inFoods® IBS product through the Medicare system. In connection with this process, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has established a reimbursement price applicable to this product. While the establishment of a reimbursement price does not guarantee coverage, utilization, or payment, management believes it represents an important step toward broader market access. Once Medicare reimbursement is achieved, we intend to also pursue reimbursement with private payer insurance companies. To the extent patients are able to access the inFoods® IBS product at reduced out of pocket cost, we expect adoption and utilization to increase.

Current report

We continue to balance revenue generated from our established diagnostic products and contract manufacturing services with investments in newer diagnostic-guided therapy products, including inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™. Management believes this diversified portfolio approach supports near-term cash generation while advancing longer-term growth initiatives.

Current report

During the six months ended November 30, 2025, we continued our phased commercialization strategy for our inFoods® IBS product, prioritizing targeted gastroenterology practices to validate clinical workflows, refine physician education, and gather real-world feedback. This measured approach has informed sales and marketing investments and is intended to support a scalable broader launch.

Current report

Consolidated net sales were approximately $1,210,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2025, as compared to $1,636,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $426,000, or 26%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales of Aware® products in the Middle East market, as well as reduced contract manufacturing billings and clinic laboratory sales, which were impacted by the timing and periodic nature of customer orders.

Current report

Consolidated cost of sales was approximately $1,159,000, or 96% of net sales, for the three months ended November 30, 2025, as compared to $1,199,000, or 73% of net sales, for the three months ended November 30, 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $40,000, or 3%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes during the current quarter compared to the prior year same period, as well as lower inventory write-offs and production adjustments.

Current report

For the three months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $1,231,000, compared to $1,173,000 for the corresponding period in 2024, an increase of $58,000 or 5%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $71,000 increase in salaries and wages primarily associated with a new hire in the sales and marketing team, a $67,000 increase in credit loss expense related to aged receivables, and a $34,000 increase in outside sales-related services related to inFoods®. These increases were partially offset by a $42,000 decrease in stock-based compensation within the administrative team, primarily due to changes in the Company’s stock price, and a $72,000 decrease in sales commissions resulting from lower sales volumes in the Middle East market.

Current report

For the three months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated research and development (“R&D”) expenses totaled approximately $193,000, representing a decrease of 25% from $257,000 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $46,000 reduction in R&D wages, reflecting fewer labor hours allocated to R&D, as well as a $17,000 decrease resulting from reduced participation in charitable sponsorships during the current period.

Current report

For the three months ended November 30, 2025, dividend, interest, and other income totaled approximately $58,000, compared to $40,000 for the corresponding period in 2024, representing an increase of $18,000, or 45%. This increase was primarily attributable to dividend distributions received from an investment holding entity during the current period.

Current report

For the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated net sales reached approximately $2,590,000, compared to $3,444,000 for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $854,000, or 25%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower clinic laboratory sales, which experienced volatility due to the periodic and infrequent nature of customer orders, as well as reduced contract manufacturing billings and lower OTC sales driven by decreased sales in the Middle East market.

Current report

For the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated cost of sales was approximately $2,113,000, or 82% of net sales, compared to $2,720,000, or 79% of net sales, for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $607,000, or 22%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes across the clinical laboratory, OTC, and contract manufacturing businesses, which resulted in lower labor costs and reduced cost allocations. In addition, lower levels of aged inventory during the current period led to a decrease in inventory write-offs.

Current report

For the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2,561,000, compared to $2,533,000 for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of approximately $28,000, or 1%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $114,000 increase in outside administrative services associated with tax credit advisory services provided for ERC, a $66,000 increase in stock-based compensation within the sales and marketing organization related to a new hire during the current period, compared to workforce reductions in the prior year period, and a $55,000 increase in credit loss expense under CECL related to aged receivables, for which payment plans have been established. These increases were partially offset by an $88,000 decrease in sales commissions resulting from reduced sales volumes in the Middle East market, a $73,000 decrease in salaries and wages within the sales and marketing team, and a $51,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense within the administrative team.

Current report

For the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated R&D expenses totaled approximately $405,000, representing a decrease of $149,000, or 27% from $554,000 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $106,000 reduction in R&D salaries and wages, reflecting fewer labor hours allocated to R&D as the business progressed into later, commercialization focused development phases, as well as a $36,000 decrease in R&D expenses related to inFoods® during the current period.

Previous 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.

Previous report

The following is a breakdown of revenues according to markets to which the products are sold:

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous report

For the three months ended August 31, 2025, consolidated research and development (“R&D”) expenses totaled approximately $212,000, representing a decrease of $85,000, 29% from $297,000 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $60,000 reduction in payroll expenses resulting from a RIF implemented in July 2024, and approximately $23,000 in cost savings related to lower spending on inFoods® research and development projects.

Previous report

During the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not acquire any new property, equipment, or patents.

Previous report

During the three months ended August 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $920,000. We received gross proceeds of $939,000 from the sale of our common stock, with costs for sale of $19,000. In contrast, during the three months ended August 31, 2024, and 2023, we did not have any cash provided by financing activities, as there were no net proceeds from the sale of common stock or stock option exercises.
Reworded paragraphs (15)

Previous wording

Our range of medical diagnostic products is sold worldwide, primarily in two markets: clinical laboratories and point-of-care settings. Most of our products are Conformite Europeenne (“CE”) marked and/or registered with regulatory agencies in various countries for diagnostic use, with several also cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for sale in the United States.

Most of our products are Conformite Europeenne (“CE”) marked and/or registered with regulatory agencies in various countries for diagnostic use, with several also cleared by the FDA for sale in the United States.

Previous wording

Technological advances in medical diagnostics have enabled diagnostic tests to be performed not only in clinical laboratories but also at home and at the point-of-care in physicians’ offices. One of our key objectives has been to develop and market rapid diagnostic tests that are accurate, utilize easily obtained patient specimens, and are simple to perform without the need for complex instrumentation. Our home use (over-the-counter) and professional use (physicians’ office, clinics, etc.) rapid diagnostic test products help manage existing medical conditions and may save lives through early detection and diagnosis of specific diseases. Traditionally, such tests required the expertise of medical technologists and sophisticated equipment, with results often not available for days. We believe our rapid point-of-care tests, when properly used, can be as accurate as laboratory tests. Our products require limited to no instrumentation, deliver reliable results in minutes, and can be performed with confidence at home or in a physician’s office.

Previous wording

A key outcome from our research and development efforts is our patented diagnostic-guided therapy (“DGT”) product, developed on the inFoods® technology platform. This innovative technology is designed to aid in the management of gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”) and other inflammatory diseases. DGT products target chronic inflammatory illnesses that are widespread and prevalent in large markets. We have launched inFoods® IBS product, which leverages this patented technology. The inFoods® IBS product utilizes a simple blood test to identify patient-specific foods that, when eliminated from the diet, may help reduce IBS symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Unlike broad and difficult to manage dietary restrictions, the inFoods® IBS product pinpoints a patient’s heightened immunoreactivity to specific foods known to frequently trigger IBS symptoms. By removing the foods identified as problematic, patients can achieve relief from IBS symptoms.

Previous wording

In addition, in December 2023 we received FDA clearance for hp+detect™, a diagnostic test designed to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. H. pylori is a prevalent infection, affecting approximately 35% of the U.S. population and 45% of the population in Europe’s largest countries. This bacterium is recognized as the highest known risk factor for gastric cancer, which remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. The hp+detect™ test is marketed directly to laboratories and is intended to provide physicians and medical centers with a reliable tool for diagnosing H. pylori infections and monitoring treatment effectiveness. We are actively promoting hp+detect™ to large end-customer laboratories and positioning the product for commercial adoption.
