Previous wording

In order to be successful with our product development and commercialization programs, principally as it pertains to our bioprocessing sector, we believe that we will need to continue to invest substantial capital into such programs in the foreseeable future. We expect our total operating expenses to continue to be material in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue with our emphasis on the bioprocessing sector. We expect to continue to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, after-sales support, manufacturing, and distribution. We also expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to the development of new products and technologies, primarily related to bioprocessing products. Our ability to conduct additional research and development activities and commercialization efforts are dependent upon the availability of funding and cash generated from sales of newly introduced products.

In such an event, we may be required to obtain further funding through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations and licensing arrangements, product line divestitures, or other sources. We do not have any committed external source of funds, other than a working line of credit of $300,000 with the Company’s primary bank. If additional funding is necessary, adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, - we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of bioprocessing or any of our other products. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy.

Previous wording

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our then-existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

Current wording

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our then-existing shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

Previous wording

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common shares, convertible securities or other equity securities, the ownership interests of the then-existing equity holders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities could include liquidation or other preferences and anti-dilution protections that could adversely affect the rights of the then-existing common stockholders. In addition, debt financing, if available, may result in fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, creating liens, redeeming stock or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. In addition, securing financing could require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of their attention away from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our management’s ability to oversee the development of our product candidates.

Current wording

We have a history of Operating losses and will likely incur future losses during the next few years as we attempt to grow and develop our bioprocessing sector.

Previous wording

We incurred net losses of $6,445,400 and $9,086,500 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $33,930,500. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as our expenses related to the growth and expansion of our Bioprocessing Systems operations will exceed revenues expected to be generated. Our Benchtop Laboratory Equipment operations are profitable, but our ability to become and remain profitable on a combined basis depends on our ability to generate additional revenue, and therefore profits, from our Bioprocessing Systems operations. Because of the uncertainties and risks associated with these activities, we are unable to accurately predict the timing and amount of future revenues, and if or when we might achieve profitability. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, we may never generate revenues that are large enough for us to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Current wording

We incurred net losses of $1,220,400 and $6,445,400 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $35,150,900. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as our expenses related to the growth and expansion of our Bioprocessing Systems operations will exceed revenues expected to be generated. The Company sold its profitable Genie Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations in August 2025, and the remaining Torbal division is not yet profitable. The Company also incurs substantial corporate costs including accounting, auditing, legal, shareholder, regulatory, etc. Because of the uncertainties and risks associated with these activities, we are unable to accurately predict the timing and amount of future revenues, and if or when we might achieve profitability. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, we may never generate revenues that are large enough for us to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

As of March 27, 2025, there were 10,503,599 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding, of which 32% are held by the top three stockholders of the Company. The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and, historically, has been thinly traded. There have been a number of trading days during Fiscal 2024 and 2023 on which no trades of the Company’s Common Stock were reported. Accordingly, the market price for the Common Stock is subject to great volatility. The lack of an active trading market may impair the value of the shares of our common stock and stockholders’ ability to sell their shares. An inactive trading market may also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock and to enter into strategic partnerships or other business strategies.

Previous wording

We believe that the worldwide bioprocess development technologies total available market is approximately $26 billion 1,2, with a serviceable addressable share for our bioprocessing products of $2.1 billion 1,2. Our estimates of the TAM and SAM for our products under development are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates, as well as assumed prices at which we can sell our future products. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. As a result, our estimates of the annual total addressable market for our product candidates may prove to be incorrect. If the price at which we can sell future products, or the annual total addressable market for our product candidates is smaller than we have estimated, it could have an adverse impact on our business.

Current wording

We have made certain assumptions on the market size and market acceptance of our bioprocessing products based on market studies and general knowledge of the bioprocessing market.

Previous wording

The Benchtop Laboratory Equipment industry is a highly competitive mature industry. Although the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer is widely accepted, the annual sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products ($9,022,800 and $9,745,400 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively) are significantly lower than the annual sales of many of its competitors in the industry. The principal competitors are substantially larger with much greater financial, production and marketing resources than the Company. There are constant new entrants into the vortex mixer market, including those offering products imported from China, which the Company is unable to compete with on price. The Torbal line of products is also a small market participant in its industry with significant competition from well-known brands.

Previous wording

The success of the Company’s Bioprocessing Systems operations will depend heavily on its ability to successfully develop, produce, and market new products. Commencing in the last quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company began to commit substantial resources to its Bioprocessing Systems operations in the form of employees, materials, supplies, marketing, and facilities to accelerate its product development efforts and marketing activities. Bioprocessing products are of a complex nature in an industry that the Company has not traditionally operated in and have taken much longer to develop than previously anticipated. In addition, they will be subject to beta testing and adoption by end users, which could result in design and/or production changes which could further delay development time. On April 29, 2021, the Company acquired Aquila in an effort to accelerate development of its bioprocessing products. The Company continues to incur substantial product development and sales and marketing costs related to its Bioprocessing Systems operations.

Previous wording

The Company purchases most of its components from outside suppliers and relies on a few sole-source suppliers for some components, mostly due to cost considerations. Most of the Company’s suppliers, including its U.S. vendors, produce the components directly or indirectly in overseas factories, and orders are subject to long lead times and potential other risks related to production in a foreign country, such as current and potential future tariffs. To minimize the risk of supply shortages, the Company keeps more than normal quantities on hand of the critical components that cannot easily be procured or, where feasible and cost effective, purchases are made from more than one supplier. However, alternate suppliers are not always feasible for various reasons including complexity and cost of toolings. A shortage of components or vendor inability to deliver due to shipping and cargo issues could halt production and have a material negative effect on the Company’s operations.
