Current report

On August 7, 2025, the Genie Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations became discontinued due to the sale of the GENIE product line to Troemner LLC. However, the Company continued to produce and market its Torbal and VIVID products within the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations, which operates primarily out of Bohemia, New York .

Current report

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $284,800 (30.2%) to $1,227,100 from $942,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a $227,700 increase in the Bioprocessing Systems Operations revenues as well as an increase of $57,100 in the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations, which, since the August 2025 Genie division sale, is comprised entirely of Torbal and VIVID brand products.

Current report

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were $687,000 and $753,700, respectively. The decrease of $66,700 (8.8%) is due primarily to cost savings initiatives including reduction in salesforce and marketing activities by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Current report

Other income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were $78,400 and $32,400, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the increase in interest income related to investment securities purchased with the proceeds related to sale of the Genie Division in August of 2025.

Current report

Our primary source of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, including investment securities, and cash generated from sales of equity investments, payments related to agreements associated with the sale of the Genie Division in August 2025, and our on-going business operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need to continue to decrease expenses, materially increase revenues, and/or secure additional external capital resources. Based on management’s current operating plan, the Company believes its cash on hand, including its investments, is sufficient to fund the Company's operations for a period of at least one year subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. However, there is no assurance that management's current operating plan will be successful.

Current report

Net cash provided by investing activities was $813,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,204,000 provided in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net decrease of $390,100 is primarily due to the lower redemption of investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Previous report

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $69,600 (5.2%) to $1,404,000 from $1,334,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in sales of the Torbal division which increased by $186,400 from $881,900 in the prior year period to $1,068,300 in the current year period, which was driven by increased sales of its VIVID automated pill counters. Bioprocessing Systems Operations revenues reflected a $141,700 decrease due to overall softness in the market, customer delays in finalizing orders and requirements for products not yet available.

Previous report

The gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, was 45.5% and 51.0%, respectively. This is primarily due to primarily due to the lack of Genie Division sales resulting from the sale on August 7, 2025, and to a lower extent the Company experienced some increases in material costs due to tariffs, principally for Torbal OEM products, and lower gross margins for Bioprocessing products due to fixed costs on lower sales.

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous report

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were $621,400 and $644,000, respectively. The decrease of $22,600 (3.5%) is due primarily to lower research and development expenditures in the Bioprocessing Systems Operations related to DOTS new products.

Previous 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.

Previous report

The Company realized a loss from continuing operations of $5,434,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a $5,685,800 loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $251,100 is due primarily to lower SG&A costs offset by lower revenues.

Previous report

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $87,500 (2.5%) to $3,427,100 from $3,514,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $441,200 decrease in the Bioprocessing Systems Operations revenues resulting mostly from overall softness in the market, inability to close on opportunities which are delayed to future periods for various reasons including customer funding or new product availability offset by increased sales of Torbal brand products, particularly with VIVID pill counters. Total net revenues of the Torbal division amounted to $2,734,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2,380,600 in the prior year period.

Previous report

Selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were $2,355,400 and $2,413,100, respectively. The decrease of $57,700 (2.4%) is due to reduced employee-related costs incurred by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Previous 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.

Previous 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.
