Current report

•Pharmacology services revenue increased for both the three- and nine- month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase reflects modest improvement in bookings and conversion of previously booked studies into revenue, as well as the timing of study completion during the quarter. Bookings represent the total value of signed statements of work and convert to revenue over time as the Company fulfills its contractual performance obligations. The level of study activity reaching completion during a given quarter can vary depending on the timing and progress of individual studies.

Current report

•Revenue from TOS data licenses was $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025. The prior-year amount reflects the recognition of a single data license transaction during that period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, TOS data license revenue totaled $0.5 million, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025.

Current report

General and administrative expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $577,000, or 24.1%. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $8.5 million compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2025 , an increase of $1.7 million, or 25.0%. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation, insurance, professional fees, IT infrastructure, and depreciation and amortization. The increases for both periods were primarily attributable to higher compensation expenses associated with executive leadership changes and increased IT infrastructure costs supporting the Company’s investment in its data business.

Previous report

•Revenue increased for both the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to an improvement in the bookings-to-revenue conversion rate. Bookings, which represent the total value of signed statements of work, convert to revenue over time as the Company fulfills its contractual performance obligations. Fewer study cancellations during the current periods allowed a larger portion of previously contracted work to convert to revenue. Management did not identify any other individually material factors affecting the year-over-year change.

Previous report

•Revenue for both the three and six months ending October 31, 2025 resulted from the sale of data licenses. There was no data license revenue for the three or six months ended October 31, 2024.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 were $3.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 57.4%. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 were $5.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 25.5%. General and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of compensation, insurance, professional fees, IT and depreciation and amortization expenses. The increase for both the three and six month periods was primarily the result of an increase in compensation related to executive leadership changes and IT infrastructure expenses to support our investment in our data business.
Reworded paragraphs (12)

Previous wording

Our liquidity needs have typically arisen from the funding of our research and development programs and the launch of new products, working capital requirements, and other strategic initiatives. In the past, we have met these cash requirements through our cash on hand, working capital management, proceeds from certain private placements and public offerings of our securities, and sales of products and services. For the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a net loss of $230,000 and net income of $2.0 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $80.1 million, negative working capital of $809,000 and cash of $8.5 million. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the Company used cash flow in operations of approximately $1.1 million. Despite our negative working capital at this date and cash used in operations for the period, we believe that our cash on hand, together with expected cash flows from operations, are adequate to fund operations through at least December 2026. Should the Company be required to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that management would be successful in raising such capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Current wording

•Other TOS Revenue includes additional services provided to the Company's pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers, including flow cytometry and SaaS offerings provided through Lumin which are not part of the Company's current strategic focus.

Previous wording

•Our flow cytometry services revenue decreased approximately $555,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and $1.1 million for the six months ended October 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, due to a decline in clinical bookings and a de-emphasis on this business unit. The decrease in Other TOS Revenue was also a result of a decrease in our SaaS revenues for both the three and six month periods ending October 31, 2025 as compared with 2024.

Current wording

•Other TOS revenue decreased for both the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. Flow cytometry services revenue decreased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and $1.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to lower clinical bookings and a strategic de-emphasis on this part of our business. The decrease in Other TOS revenue also reflects lower SaaS revenue during the current periods.

Previous wording

For the three months ended October 31, 2025, cost of oncology revenue decreased $166,000 or 2.2% to $7.3 million, as compared to $7.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower outsourced lab service costs. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, cost of oncology revenue increased $757,000 or 5.2% to $15.3 million, as compared to $14.5 million in the prior year period. The increase resulted primarily from higher mice costs resulting from higher revenue and outsourced lab services, including radiolabeling work. Management anticipates that as this radiolabeling work transitions into Champions’ labs over the coming quarters it will result in an improvement in the overall cost structure which will reduce cost of oncology revenue.

Current wording

Cost of oncology revenue increased $2.2 million or 33.5% to $8.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $6.6 million in the prior year period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, cost of oncology revenue increased $3.0 million or 14.1% to $24.1 million, as compared to $21.1 million in the prior year period. The increases for both periods were primarily attributable to outsourced laboratory services, including more than $2.0 million of radiolabeling work performed by third-party laboratories during the current quarter. Management expects that as this radiolabeling work transitions into Champions’ laboratories over the coming quarters, the Company will benefit from a more favorable cost structure.

Previous wording

Management did not identify any other individually material factors contributing to the period-over-period changes.

Current wording

Research and development expense increased for both the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the prior-year periods.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 sales and marketing expenses were $6.5 million, compared to $5.2 million for the prior year period, an increase of $1.3 million or 24.5%.
