1.Description of Business
Organizationand Business
Ainos, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Texas in 1984. The Company is a dual-platform company engaged in the development of artificial intelligence-enabled olfactory sensing technologies, which we refer to as “SmellTech” or “Smell AI”, and related applications, as well as the development of immune therapeutics.
Our core technology platform, AI Nose, is an AI-based electronic olfaction system that integrates gas sensor arrays with proprietary artificial intelligence models, which we refer to as a smell language model (“SLM”), to digitize scent and volatile organic compound (“VOC”) signals into Smell ID, a machine-readable data format. AI Nose is initially developed in healthcare-related settings, including point-of-care testing (“POCT”). These early healthcare applications shaped the platform’s sensor architecture, data models, and system calibration.
Building on this foundation, we are expanding the application of AI Nose into industrial environments, where we believe real-time environmental sensing, anomaly detection, and operational monitoring are important. Current and planned use cases include industrial applications across semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, and smart manufacturing settings. We believe the underlying scent digitization architecture of AI Nose is adaptable across a range of industrial and non-industrial verticals, and we continue to evaluate additional application opportunities based on partner engagement and deployment experience.
We are advancing the AI Nose platform through partner-led deployments, with a strategy focused on platform scalability, data-driven performance improvement, and integration into existing industrial ecosystems. Our approach emphasizes expanding the role of scent as a machine-readable data modality alongside vision and sound, while maintaining flexibility to address diverse operational requirements.
Separately, we continue to develop VELDONA®, our low-dose oral interferon platform, targeting selected rare, autoimmune, and infectious disease indications. Our VELDONA® programs include candidates for the treatment of oral warts in HIV-positive patients, Sjögren’s syndrome, and feline chronic gingivostomatitis (“FCGS”). We have conducted research and development activities related to VELDONA® since our inception.
ReverseStock Splits
In connection with the Offering, the Company’s board of directors on April 29, 2022 and its shareholders on May 16, 2022 approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock that became effective on August 9, 2022. Further, to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum $1.00 per share continued listing rules, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Formation on November 27, 2023, to apply for another reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 which was effectuated on December 14, 2023 after receiving required approvals. In addition, to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum $1.00 per share continued listing rules, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Formation on May 16, 2025, the Board approved for another reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-5 which was effectuated on June 30, 2025 after receiving required approvals.
The
par value of $0.01 and authorized shares of the Company’s common stock remain the same and were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock splits. All issued and outstanding common stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), outstanding convertible notes, warrants and options to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock splits for all periods presented.

At-the-MarketOffering Agreement
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC(the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock, depending on market demand, with the Agent acting as the sales agent or principal (the “ATM Offering”). Sales of the Common Stock may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares requested by the Company to be sold on its behalf, consistent with the Agent’s normal trading and sales practices, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the ATM Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares. The Company may instruct the Agent not to sell the Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Company from time to time and the Company may at any time suspend sales pursuant to the ATM Agreement.
The
Company will pay the Agent placement fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold by the Agent under the ATM Agreement. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Agent for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the Sales Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of its legal counsel up to $2,500 per calendar quarter. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide customary indemnification rights to the Agent.
The
aggregate market value of Shares eligible for sale in the ATM Offering and under the ATM Agreement will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. The prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024, is offering Shares having an aggregate offering price of $1,840,350.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the continued development of its product candidate and for general corporate purposes and working capital. The precise amount and timing of the application of these proceeds will depend upon a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our research and development efforts, our funding requirements and the availability and costs of other funds.
On
September 5, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to amend the Prospectus to update the amount of shares the Company is eligible to sell pursuant to such prospectus. The Company increased the amount of shares of Common Stock it may offer and sell under the Sales Agreement to an aggregate offering price of up to $874,496 from time to time through Wainwright. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million.
For
the first quarter of 2026, the Company sold 283,336 shares of common stock under the ATM facility and received $601,600 in net proceeds after deducting commissions and expenses. As of March 31, 2026, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,017,550 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM facility and received $2,610,321 in net proceeds after deducting commissions and expenses.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basisof Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
| 9 |
| --- |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
Useof Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures as of the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on various factors, including historical experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of stock option, warrants and convertible notes measured at fair value, and impairment testing of intangible assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Liquidity
As
of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,841,422. The Company plans to finance its operations and development needs with its existing cash and cash equivalents, additional equity, and/or debt financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, on a timely basis, or at all. If the Company is not able to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed, the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.
On
May 31, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement, or sales agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC or Wainwright, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock, the aggregate market value of Shares eligible for sale in the Offering and under the ATM Agreement will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. The prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024, is offering Shares having an aggregate offering price of $1,840,350.
On
September 5, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to amend the Prospectus to update the amount of shares the Company is eligible to sell pursuant to such prospectus. The Company increased the amount of shares of Common Stock it may offer and sell under the Sales Agreement to an aggregate offering price of up to $874,496 from time to time through Wainwright. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million.
For
the first quarter of 2026, the Company sold 283,336 shares of common stock under the ATM facility and received $601,600 in net proceeds after deducting commissions and expenses. As of March 31, 2026, the Company sold 1,017,550 shares of common stock under At-the-Market Offering Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,610,321.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated a net loss of $2,459,800. The Company expects to continue incurring development expenses for the next twelve months as the Company advances its product development plans.
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2026 of $69,980,128 and expects to incur additional losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and future financing transactions. Although management expects the Company will continue as a going concern, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful since the availability and amount of such funding is not certain. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information prepared on the basis of accounting policy disclosed in its annual financial statement for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance of the Company. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment.
Impairmentof Intangible Assets
The Company reviews its definite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset or asset group. If impairment exists, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. No impairment of definite-lived intangible and long-lived assets was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
FairValue Option
ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, provides a fair value option (the “FVO”) election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the FVO has been elected are reported in earnings, except for the effect of changes in own credit, which are recognized in other comprehensive income/loss. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method.
RecentAccounting Pronouncements Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07, which is applicable to entities with a single reportable segment, will primarily require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and enhanced disclosures in interim periods. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

AccountingStandards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the statement of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 updates the accounting guidance for internal-use software by eliminating references to software development project stages, thereby requiring companies to start capitalizing software costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and (ii) it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments can be applied either (i) prospectively, (ii) through a modified transition approach based on the status projects and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption, or (iii) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 to provide specific authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government. The amendments in this guidance require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until (1) it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received and (2) a business entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. Adoption of this standard is required using either a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or a retrospective approach. This standard is effective for the Company for both interim and annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

The
Company issued the Lind Warrants on September 28, 2023 in connection with the private placement of the Lind Note. The Company further issued 4,125 shares of warrants with an exercise price of $41.25 per share to the placement agent as the agent fee. Each warrant has a contractual term of 5 years and can be exercised for the purchase of one share of common stock of the Company. The carrying amount of the Lind Warrant is nil after allocating proceeds to the Lind Note measured at fair value. The fair value of the placement agent warrant is estimated to be $21,479 using the Black-Scholes Model.
The Company issued public warrants together with common stock in connection with its underwritten public offering effective August 8, 2022. The Company further issued private warrants to Maxim Group LLC as representative of the underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. Each warrant has a contractual term of 5 years, expiring on August 8, 2027, and can be exercised for the purchase of one share of common stock of the Company.
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (the “ASC 480”), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (the “ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are free standing financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Management has concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the underwritten public offering and the private placement of Lind Note qualify for equity accounting treatment and are recorded as additional paid-in capital.
In addition, the warrant issued by the Company to i2China in 2020 in exchange for consulting services is accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation (see Note 8).
As of March 31, 2026, none of the warrants have been exercised nor have they expired.
7.Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products based upon contractually stated pricing at standard payment terms within 30 to 60 days. The revenue generated by product sales is recognized at a point in time.
The Company generated revenue from sales of VELDONA Pet supplements in the Taiwan market through online platforms that were recognized after the expiration of right of return which was offered for a limited time. Revenue from sales through off-line distribution channels was recognized based on the amount of consideration that we expected to receive, reduced by estimates for return allowances, promotional discounts, and fees.
$350,000
of contract liabilities was recorded for the cash received in advance from customers as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The
Company recognized nil revenue from sales of AI Nose programs that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of first quarter 2026, compared with $106,329 recognized in the same period at the beginning of first quarter 2025, offset by exchange rate fluctuation.
ReturnAllowances
Return allowances, which reduce revenue and cost of sales, are estimated using historical experience. Liabilities for return allowances are included in “Accrued expenses and others current liabilities”.
| 15 |
| --- |
VariableConsideration
We record revenue from customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price we expect to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods. From time to time, we offer product sales promotions such as discounts. Variable consideration is estimated at contract inception only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.

12.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company operates in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation. Competitors may claim that the Company’s products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require the Company to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. As of March 31, 2026, there were no such commitments or contingencies.

When used in this Quarterly Report, all references to “Ainos,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer Ainos, Inc.
Overview
Ainos, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Texas in 1984. The Company is a dual-platform company engaged in the development of artificial intelligence-enabled olfactory sensing technologies, which we refer to as “SmellTech” or “Smell AI”, and related applications, as well as the development of immune therapeutics.
The Company’s principal operating focus is the commercialization of AI Nose, its proprietary scent digitization platform. AI Nose is designed to convert scent and volatile organic compound signals into structured, machine-readable data, which the Company refers to as “Smell ID,” using gas sensor arrays and proprietary artificial intelligence models, which we refer to as smell language model (“SLM”). The Company is advancing AI Nose commercialization across selected industrial, environmental, robotics, and healthcare-related applications.
In parallel, the Company continues to develop VELDONA®, its low-dose oral interferon program, with an emphasis on selective advancement, capital-efficient execution, and strategic partnerships.
OurExecution Priorities for 2026
In 2026, the Company’s operating priorities are focused on advancing AI Nose commercialization activities while managing VELDONA® and other healthcare-related programs selectively and in a capital-efficient manner. Following initial industrial expansion activities in 2025, the Company’s current priorities include partner-led deployments, continued generation of scent-related data to support model refinement, and further advancement of commercial opportunities that may include hardware and service-based offerings, which we refer to as “SmellTech-As-A-Service”. The Company may adjust the timing, scope, and prioritization of these activities based on available capital, regulatory developments, market conditions, partner execution, and other factors.

FactorsAffecting Our Business
Our business activities continue to be influenced primarily by our emphasis on advancing AI Nose commercialization activities and managing healthcare-related programs selectively and in a capital-efficient manner. The timing, extent, and financial impact of these activities remain subject to a number of known trends and uncertainties, including the following:
| 19 |
| --- |
Industrialand infrastructure-oriented applications.
We continue to prioritize AI Nose activities across industrial environments, including semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, smart manufacturing, and hospital infrastructure settings. Recent progress includes initial commercial activity in backend semiconductor manufacturing, front-end semiconductor validation efforts through industry partners, robotics-related development initiatives and activities in hospital infrastructure environments. These activities remain at varying stages of deployment, validation, and commercialization. The timing and extent of partner execution, customer adoption, and conversion of pilot and initial commercial activities into broader commercial arrangements may affect the timing of revenue and our near-term operating results.
Near-thresholdtechnology development and system capabilities.
As part of our ongoing deployment and validation activities, we continue to develop AI Nose capabilities across different operating conditions and application environments. These efforts include the detection and interpretation of gas signal variations and the potential application of such capabilities in anomaly detection, environmental sensing, and operational monitoring. We are also developing AI Nose for near-threshold detection scenarios, meaning the detection of signal variations at or near traditional detection thresholds. If validated, such capabilities may support certain early-stage anomaly detection applications. We continue to develop these near-threshold detection capabilities with a focus on reliability, repeatability, and scalability across different environments, which remain subject to ongoing validation.
Data-drivenplatform development.
AI Nose deployments are expected to generate Smell ID data across different operating environments, and we continue to use this data to refine models, improve classification performance, and expand the range of detectable patterns. Continued deployment of AI Nose is also expected to result in further accumulation of scent-related data, which may support model improvement, broaden detectable patterns, and enhance system adaptability across different operating environments. While we expect these efforts to support ongoing performance improvements, the timing and extent to which they contribute to broader commercial adoption or commercial outcomes may vary, and their benefits may take time to be reflected in revenue or operating results.
Healthcare-adjacentopportunities.
We continue to develop AI Nose applications in senior care and other healthcare-adjacent settings, including environments where non-invasive and continuous sensing may support hygiene monitoring, environmental control, and hospital operations. The timing and extent of these activities may be affected by regulatory requirements, partner engagement, operational validation, and resource allocation decisions.
VELDONA®program management.
We continue to focus VELDONA® on selected indications with unmet medical needs, including oral warts in HIV-seropositive patients, Sjögren’s syndrome, and feline chronic gingivostomatitis. The timing and direction of these programs may be affected by clinical outcomes, regulatory progress, partner interest, and available resources. We also continue to pursue strategic partnerships and out-licensing opportunities, the timing and outcome of which remain uncertain.
As of March 31, 2026, we had available cash and cash equivalents of $2,841,422. We anticipate business revenues and external financing options, if necessary, to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information. To finance our continuing operations, we will need to raise additional capital, which cannot be assured.
| 20 |
| --- |
RecentDevelopment
During the first quarter of 2026, we advanced AI Nose-related activities within industrial applications, with a focus on semiconductor and robotics environments. These activities included
| ● | Advancing<br> deployments associated with an initial $2.1 million commercial arrangement in backend semiconductor<br> manufacturing environments; |
|---|---|
| ● | Commencing<br> pilot programs in selected front-end semiconductor environments; |
| ● | Entering<br> a distribution partnership to support expansion into the front-end semiconductor environments; |
| ● | Initiating<br> a technology partnership with a robotic company to integrate AI Nose into robots and quadruped<br> robots. |
These activities are intended to support continued development, capacity development and potential commercial expansion of AI Nose across industrial environments.

Revenues,Cost and Gross Loss
The Company reported $161 and $106,207 in revenue in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025, respectively. The decrease of revenue in Q1, 2026 was primarily caused by lower sales volume on AI Nose related programs in healthcare adjacent applications. This decrease was partly attributable to a strategic shift in focus from healthcare-adjacent applications toward industrial deployments, which are currently at earlier stages of commercialization. The Company generated nil and $105,942 in revenues from AI Nose related programs, and $161 and $265 from pet supplements in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025, respectively.
The cost of revenue related to product sales in Q1 2026 was $763 compared to $18,233 in Q1 2025. The decrease in cost of revenue was caused by the aforementioned lower produce volume for AI Nose related programs during the reporting period.
Gross profit from product sales in Q1 2026 was $602 gross loss as compared to $87,974 gross profit from product sales in Q1 2025. The decrease in gross profit was due to aforementioned lower sale volume.

Researchand Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 were $1,689,860 and $1,724,084, respectively. The decrease of $34,224 (2%) was due to reduced expenses associated with co-research for technology partially offset by increased staffing expenditures and experimental material fees. We expect that our R&D investments may continue to grow as we further develop our technologies.
The share-based compensation expense and the depreciation and amortization expense in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 were $1,161,266 and $1,192,870, respectively. When excluding these non-cash expenses, R&D expenses decreased to $528,594 in Q1 2026 from $531,214 in Q1 2025.
Selling,General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses were $593,185 and $1,526,761 in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $933,576 (61%) due to a significant decrease in share-based compensation, further by a decrease in D&O insurance fee and SEC reporting related fees.
The share-based compensation expense and the depreciation and amortization expense in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 were $12,808 and $901,800 respectively. When excluding these non-cash expenses, SG&A expenses decreased to $580,377 in Q1 2026 compared to $624,961 in Q1 2025.
OperatingLoss
The Company’s operating loss was $2,283,647 and $3,162,871 in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025, respectively, reflecting a $879,224 (28%) decrease in operating loss between the reporting periods. We continued to invest resources to execute our growth strategy and product roadmap to improve our profitability.
InterestExpense and Issuance Cost of Convertible Note
In Q1 2026, interest expense was $176,876 compared to $180,445 in Q1 2025. The decrease in interest expense was due to the company paid off Lee’s convertible note, resulting in a reduction in the principal amount of the convertible note outstanding.
NetLoss
Net loss was $2,459,800 in Q1 2026 compared to $3,286,022 in Q1 2025, resulting in an $826,222 (25%) decrease in net loss attributable to our shareholders of common stock. The net loss was due to expanding operating expense as we continued to invest resources to execute our growth strategy and product roadmap to improve our profitability.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had available cash of $2,841,422 and $417,353, respectively.
The following table summarizes our cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||||||

Operatingactivities:
Cash used in operating activities decreased by $241,157 during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our net loss for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $826,222 primarily due to the company expanding operating expense. The operating cash outflow as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities was mainly attributable to:
| ● | Non-cash<br> expenses including share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, issuance cost of secured convertible note, and change<br> in fair value of senior secured convertible note, issuance common stock for paying consulting fees decreased approximately by $920,600; |
|---|---|
| ● | Working<br> capital injected into accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets increased by approximately $11,900; and |
| ● | Working<br> capital injected into accrued expenses, operating lease liabilities, contract liabilities and other current and long-term liabilities<br> increased by approximately $323,700. |
Investingactivities
Cash used for investing activities were $79 and $20,587 during the first quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2025, respectively. The decrease was due to a reduction in refundable deposits and other noncurrent assets and decrease in purchases of property and equipment and increase in proceeds from disposal of property and equipment.
Financingactivities
Cash provided by financing activities were $3,414,540 and $14,605 during the first quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2025, respectively. The $3,399,935 increase was primarily reflected by the following:
| ● | Proceeds<br> from loan payable financing increased by $2,812,940; and |
|---|---|
| ● | Proceeds<br> from at-the-market offering, net of issuance costs increased by $586,995; and |
In the near-term, we expect to invest in our product development and clinical trial activities to advance our product pipeline. We may also increase our sales and marketing efforts.
The Company anticipates that cash reserves, business revenues, and potential debt financing through convertible and non-convertible notes will fund the Company’s operations over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to make the Company profitable. If those efforts are not successful, the Company may raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, debt financings or other sources to further implement its business plan. However, if such financing is not available when needed and at adequate levels, the Company will need to reevaluate its operating plan.
CriticalAccounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.
We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to inventory valuation, useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of stock option, warrants and convertible note, and impairment testing of intangible assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates” of our 2025 Annual Report, except for those accounting subjects discussed in the Notes, if any, to the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. As of the date of this report, we were not aware of any material legal proceedings involving the Company.
ITEM1A. Risk Factors
ThisQuarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materiallyfrom those discussed in this Quarterly Report. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limitedto, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Youshould carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report, together with all other information in this QuarterlyReport, including our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto, and in our other filings with the Securities and ExchangeCommission. If any such risks, including the risk set out below, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believeto not be significant, develop into actual events, then our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could bematerially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline, and stockholders may lose all orpart of their investment.
Information on risk factors can be found in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our 2025 Annual Report. Other than the following risk factor, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report, other than the risk factor set forth below.
Fluctuatingforeign currency and exchange rates may negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial position.
Due to our foreign operations, a portion of our business is denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange rates may have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial position. Foreign currency exchange rates have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate. Significant foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may negatively impact our international revenue, which in turn would affect our consolidated revenue. Currencies may be affected by internal factors, general economic conditions and external developments in other countries, all of which can have an adverse impact on a country’s currency. We cannot predict whether we will incur foreign exchange losses in the future. Further, significant foreign exchange fluctuations resulting in a decline in the respective local currency may decrease the value of our foreign assets, as well as decrease our revenues and earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, which would reduce our profitability and adversely affect our financial position.
| 25 |
| --- |
Policychanges affecting international trade could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position.
Changes in government policies on foreign trade and investment can affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive position of our products and services or prevent us from being able to sell products and services in certain countries. The implementation of more restrictive trade policies, such as more detailed inspections, higher tariffs, import or export licensing requirements, economic sanctions, anti-boycott laws, exchange controls or new barriers to entry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the Trump Administration has announced tariffs on certain imports from Canada, Mexico and the EU, among others, that could affect the demand for our products. Such tariffs and any retaliatory tariffs (including those announced by China, Canada and Mexico) may put upwards pressure on prices in other jurisdictions from which we purchase product components, which could reduce our ability to offer competitive pricing to potential customers. We cannot predict what changes to trade policy will be made by the Trump Administration, the U.S. Congress or other governments, including whether existing tariff policies will be maintained or modified or whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements will occur, nor can we predict the effects that any such changes would have on our business or the global economy. Changes in U.S. trade policy, or threat of such changes, have resulted and could again result in reactions from U.S. trading partners, including adopting responsive trade policies making it more difficult or costly for us to export our products or import products or product components from countries where we currently purchase products or product components or sell products or services. Such changes, or threatened changes, to trade policy or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the United States as a result of such changes, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
