Current report

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were $803,600 and $780,800, respectively. The increase of $22,800 (2.9%) is due primarily to increased administrative costs by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Current report

Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were $735,900 and $820,900, respectively. The decrease of $85,000 (10.4%) is due primarily to decreased sales and marketing personnel in the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Current report

Total other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $5,526,900 and $78,500, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the gain on disposition of the Genie product line of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations which occurred in August 2025 as discussed in Note 11 of Item 1. Financial Statements, and to a lesser extent due to a refund for the Bioprocessing Systems Operations related to 2024 payroll taxes and social security contributions.

Current report

The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, was 39.8% and 44.1%, respectively, primarily due to lower sales and related fixed overhead in the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Current report

Other income/(loss), net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $5,582,300 and $169,000, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the gain on disposition of the Genie product line of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations which occurred in August 2025 as discussed in Note 11 of Item 1. Financial Statements, and to a lesser extent due to a refund for the Bioprocessing Systems Operations related to 2024 payroll taxes and social security contributions.

The change is primarily due to lack of Genie revenues as a result of the sale leading to lower margin sales of Torbal and Bioprocessing Systems Operations reduced revenues.

Current report

Net cash provided by investing activities was $2,444,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2,429,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflecting the proceeds received during the current period of the Genie division asset sale.
