NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
NexGel, Inc. (“NexGel” or the “Company”) manufactures high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. The Company specializes in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. The Company has historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the Company. First, we launched our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, the Company and its customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.
NexGel was previously known as AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) before changing its name to NexGel, Inc. on November 14, 2019.
On May 15, 2024, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets from Semmens Online Pty Ltd as Trustee for Semmens Business Trust (the “SG Seller”) related to the SG Seller’s eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lash serum and mascara business operating under the tradename “Silly George” (collectively, the “Silly George acquisition”).
On December 1, 2023, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets Olympus Trading Company, LLC (the “Kenkoderm Seller”) related to the Kenkoderm Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”).

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of NexGel have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary,
NexGelRx, Inc. and the fifty percent (

2. Going Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of
$
Management is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.
We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalogue of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media and online advertising and marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions), and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.
We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund our current business activities, potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.
3. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
| 8 |
Segment Reporting
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. The Company has two reportable segments - the NexGel segment and the CGN segment.
The NexGel segment is comprised of the manufacturing of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, which is based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania as well as the Kenkoderm acquisition, the Silly George acquisition and the Enigma JV. However, the Enigma JV was dissolved on December 23, 2024.
The CGN segment is comprised of the CGN JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year’s presentation. These changes consisted of separating Accounts payable – related party from Accounts payable within the June 30, 2024 condensed consolidated statement of cashflows and we have reclassified expenses on our statement of operations realigning certain expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative to cost of revenue related to our online sales commissions and contract fees.
Accounts Receivable, net
Trade
accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability
of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables
are past due, the customer’s payment history, the credit quality of the customer and other factors that may affect the customers’
ability to pay. Provisions to the allowances for credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for credit
losses was $
Inventory and Cost of Revenues
The inventory balance is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.
The Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production process.
| 9 |
The inventory balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s warehouses, third party warehouses and at fulfilment centers owned by Amazon, Walmart and CVS.
The “Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no reserve recorded against inventories.
Research and Development
Our research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Management periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.
The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal and any resulting gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same year.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of the acquisition date or annually as of December 31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
| 10 |
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and are primarily made up of $
Other Assets
Other assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts for manufacturing equipment. The Company maintains spare parts for either repair and maintenance, which is expensed as incurred, or replacement of capitalized equipment. Capitalized equipment spare parts are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:
Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.
Warrant Liability
Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair values of the warrant are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Equity Classified Warrants
Warrants that meet all necessary criteria to be accounted for as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity are presented within additional paid-in capital within Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity.
| 11 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three sources, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods manufacturing (“Custom and white label”), and our branded consumer products. Contract manufacturing and Custom and white label revenues are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product. Branded consumer product revenue is derived from direct-to-consumer purchases through websites like Amazon and through our Shopify stores. Revenue is recognized upon shipment to the end customer.
The Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are predominately concentrated in the United States, but with the Silly George acquisition, have expanded into Europe and Asia. Payment terms, excluding branded consumer products, vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment. Branded consumer products are purchased and paid for by the consumer at the time the transaction is completed.
Estimates for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom & White Label, Consumer Branded Products, and Medical Devices/Other.
Contract Manufacturing
Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this was the Company’s primary source of revenue.
Custom & White Label
These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places an order for newly developed product.
Consumer Branded Products
These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to consumers by the Company through online and retail channels. We are responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. The products we sell under our MedaGel brand primarily relate to healthcare over-the-counter (“OTC”) remedy solutions, such as blister and applications. In December 2023 we added a second consumer product brand when we completed the purchase of the Kenkoderm brand. The Kenkoderm skincare line was originally developed by a dermatologist to provide gentle to the skin products for consumer with psoriasis. In May 2024, we added our third consumer product brand with the purchase of the Silly George brand. Silly George is a beauty brand primarily focused on false eyelashes and other eye related products. We continue to look for additional potential acquisitions as part of our consumer product “roll-up” strategy.
Medical Devices/Other
Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. We will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by us, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.
Other includes freight charged to customers who purchase the Company’s branded consumer products through their Spotify stores.

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense
Shipping and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. The Company accounts for shipping activities, consisting of direct costs to ship products performed after the control passes to the customer. Shipping revenue and expense are primarily generated through the Amazon marketplace and Silly George direct customer sales.
On August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 14 for further details regarding the 2019 Plan.
The 2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.
Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.
Leases
ASC 842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.
The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the year when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.
| 14 |
Variable Interest Entity
The Company reviews each legal entity formed by parties related to the Company to determine whether or not the Company has a variable interest in the entity and whether or not the entity would meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. In assessing whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company considers and makes judgements regarding the purpose and design of the entity, the value of the licensed assets to the entity, the value of the entity’s total assets and the significant activities of the entity. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company assesses whether or not the Company is a primary beneficiary of that VIE, based on a number of factors, including: (i) which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) the parties’ contractual rights and responsibilities pursuant to the collaboration agreement, and (iii) which party has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the onset of the collaboration, the collaboration is treated as a business combination and the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company will evaluate whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it deconsolidates the VIE in the period in which the determination is made.
Assets and liabilities recorded as a result of consolidating the financial results of the VIE into the Company’s consolidated balance sheet do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets or liabilities for which creditors have recourse to the Company’s general assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU includes amendments that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance; (iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the Company being required to include enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In June 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-05, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805): Joint Venture Formations, which provides guidance on accounting for joint ventures established through new entities. The update mandates the application of the acquisition method of accounting for such transactions, requiring parties to recognize and measure identifiable assets and liabilities based on fair values at the acquisition date and establishes a measurement period for adjustments. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025.
Management expects adoption of this ASU will enhance consistency and transparency in financial reporting, without a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations when future joint ventures are established.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced income tax related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its year-end financial statements.

4. Business Segments
The Company’s CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment operating income or (loss) as the profitability measure. Items outside of operating income or (loss) are not reported by segment, since they are excluded from the single measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the balances of assets and liabilities for each segment at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is presented below.

The Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the “simplified method” to estimate the expected term of its share-based awards. The simplified method computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.
The Company estimated the expected volatility input for the Black-Scholes model using the historical volatility of its own publicly traded common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term of the option.

Overview
We manufacture high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. We specialize in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. We have historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the company. First, our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, we and our customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture. In May 2023, we formed a joint venture with CG Laboratories, Inc. called CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, which is located in Granbury, Texas and of which we own a 50% interest, allowing us to expand our ability to deliver finished goods to our growing customer base.
We have four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom & White Label, Consumer Branded Products, and Medical Devices/Other, which are described below.
Contract Manufacturing
Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this was the Company’s primary source of revenue.
| 34 |
Custom & White Label
These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places an order for newly developed product.
Consumer Branded Products
These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to consumers by the Company through online and retail channels. We are responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. The products we sell under our MedaGel brand primarily relate to healthcare over-the-counter (“OTC”) remedy solutions, such as blister and applications. In December 2023 we added a second consumer product brand when we completed the purchase of the Kenkoderm brand. The Kenkoderm skincare line was originally developed by a dermatologist to provide gentle to the skin products for consumer with psoriasis. In May 2024, we added our third consumer product brand with the purchase of the Silly George brand. Silly George is a beauty brand primarily focused on false eyelashes and other eye related products. We continue to look for additional potential acquisitions as part of our consumer product ‘roll-up” strategy.
Medical Devices/Other
Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. We will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by us, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.
Other includes freight charged to customers who purchase the Company’s branded consumer products through their Spotify stores.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1,492, or 63.1%, to $3,858 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $2,366 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to increased Advertising, marketing and Amazon fees, which directly correlates to our growth in branded consumer products.
Compensation and benefits increased by $238, or 47.2%, to $742 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $504 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The number of employees increased compared to the prior period and officer compensation increased in conjunction with contract renewals.
Share-based compensation increased by $180, or 173.1%, to $284 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $104 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase related to the issuance of stock options and restricted awards to our officers, employees, board of directors, and advisors.

The increase is due to the increased Amazon selling fees and increase in advertising and marketing attributable to promoting Kenkoderm and Silly George.
Investor and shareholder services increased by $26 or 17.3%, to $176 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $150 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to a net increase of investor services compared to the prior year period.
Franchise taxes and corporate insurance decreased by $16 or 20.0%, to $64 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $80 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In the prior year period, a non-recurring adjustment resulted in an decrease in franchise taxes.
Professional and consulting fees increased by $162 or 21.2% to $927 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $765 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $725 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,807 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operating activities was $807 and $1,792 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities was $20 and net cash used in investing activities was $704 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, consisting of purchases of capital equipment of $20 for the six months ending June 30, 2025 and consisting of the sales of marketable securities of $57, the purchase of capital equipment of $361 and the acquisition of $400 for six months ended June 30, 2024
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $255 is attributable to the principal payments of notes payable and principal payments of financing lease liabilities and payment of contingent consideration of $178.

At June 30, 2025, current assets totaled $4,162 and current liabilities totaled $2,396, as compared to current assets totaling $5,114 and current liabilities totaling $2,470 at December 31, 2024. As a result, we had working capital of $1,766 at June 30, 2025, compared to a working capital of $2,644 at December 31, 2024. The change in the working capital as of June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to the loss from operations of $1,413.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that all available funds and any earnings generated in our business will be used to finance the growth of our business and will not be paid out as dividends to our shareholders. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Management is exploring new product channel sales in consumer products, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased its focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.
Our recent August Financing provides working capital necessary to continue our strategic objectives (discussed further within Note 20). We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalogue of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.
We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to entities for any such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our Financial Statements.
| 39 |
Share-based compensation – We utilize share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required to obtain full vesting. The expected term of the awards granted is estimated using the simplified method which computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.
Warrant Liability – Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair value of the warrant is recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The expected term of the awards granted are based on either the three-year or five-year contractual expiration date.
Black Scholes Inputs - The fair value of each stock option award and warrant issued was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding: (i) fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option; (ii) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (iii) dividend yield; (iv) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected term). Under the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, entities typically estimate the expected volatility based on historical volatilities of the entity’s own common stock. Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. The fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option is estimated by the Company considering the price of the most recent issuance of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield is based upon the assumption that the Company will not declare a dividend over the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related award.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of June 30, 2025, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are described below.
Specifically, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America due to the following: (i) we have not designed controls to ensure all accounting journals entries are reviewed and approved and (ii) we identified one individual in our accounting department who has “super user” access and security administration rights to the financial reporting systems. To remediate these material weaknesses, we are working to do the following: (i) implementing appropriate controls for accounting journal entry approvals, including the approval of our Chief Financial Officer, and (ii) either actively monitoring any accounting user with elevated rights or assigning another employee outside of an accounting and reporting role with elevated access. We expect to complete these remediation efforts by December 31, 2025.
Additionally, we have not designed controls to ensure the financial reporting process is operating effectively. We noted improper fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, failure to record adequate inventory reserves and various balance sheet accounts not being properly reconciled. We intend to design controls to ensure the financial information is accurate, complete, and recorded in the correct period.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 9, 2025, we filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment against Kiss Nail Products, Inc. (“Kiss Nail Products”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (NexGel, Inc. v. Kiss Nails Products, Inc.). The dispute relates a takedown notice sent by Kiss Nail Products to Amazon.com claiming that our ready-to-use eyelash extension products sold under our Silly George brand violate a United States patent owned by Kiss Nail Products. Based on advice from our patent legal counsel, we believe the patent owned by Kiss Nails Products is invalid and expect to prevail in our action for declaratory judgment to declare the patent invalid. However, if we are unable to prevail in our action, certain of our ready-to-use eyelash extension products may be removed from Amazon.com, which would result in a material adverse effect to our business and financial results.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, 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. Except as described above, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims.
There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
