NEXGEL, INC.
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.
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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 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, 2026. 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, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the fifty percent (
License and Acquisition of Celularity, Inc.’s Portfolio of Commercial-stage Regenerative Biomaterials
On March 6, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Exclusive License Agreement (the “Original License Agreement”) with Celularity Inc. (“Celularity”), pursuant to which Celularity agreed to grant to the Company an exclusive license to Celularity’s commercial-stage regenerative biomaterials portfolio and certain development-stage programs and to sell to the Company assets related to the portfolio (collectively, the “Celularity Transaction”).
On April 17, 2026, the Company and Celularity entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original License Agreement (as amended, the “License Agreement”) and concurrently closed the Celularity Transaction.

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 March 31, 2026, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance
of $
In
April of 2026, the Company raised $
In addition, management continues to explore 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.
| 8 |
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 doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, share-based compensation and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
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
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 and Silly George acquisitions.
The CGN segment is comprised of the CGN JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash is comprised of cash in banks. The Company considers highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as well as investments in money market funds for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these investments to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The
Company also maintains restricted cash under a Partnership Agreement (see Note 16). As of March 31, 2026, restricted cash totaled $

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, deferred revenue was combined with accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company separately presented the amortization of the right-of-use asset and the reduction of the operating lease liability within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, or net loss.
| 9 |
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 reserve recorded against
inventories was $
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.
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.
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. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
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 and right-of-use assets under financing lease arrangements 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.
| 10 |
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 carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.
| 11 |
In
2025, the Company estimated the fair value of its investment in NexGelRX to be $
Warrant Liability
Warrants
to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2025. The fair values
of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each reporting period 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 consolidated statements of operations. The Company had
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 the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheets. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Cost, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.
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.
| 12 |
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 and 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 has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.
Custom and 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.

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 risk of loss 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 15 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, non-qualified 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 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 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 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
We account for our leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. We determine whether an arrangement is an operating or financing lease at contract inception. Operating 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 cost of revenues and 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 |
Financing leases are those that transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company. At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a financing lease ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability measured at the present value of future lease payments. The ROU asset is subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, while the lease liability is increased by interest expense and reduced by lease payments made. Interest expense on the lease liability and amortization of the ROU asset are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations, resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern over the lease term. Financing lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment, net, and the related lease liabilities are included within current and long-term debt, as applicable.
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. On a quarterly basis, 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.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements to make improvements to the Codification arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, and clarifications. For all entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued the ASC 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

As of March 31, 2026, vested outstanding stock options had $ thousand intrinsic value as the exercise price is greater than the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $ thousand of total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 33 months excluding options fully contingent upon certain sales-based milestones being achieved within to months of commercial release.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period.
The following assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation expense for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Volatility | % | % | ||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | % | ||||||
| Dividend yield | % | % | ||||||
| Expected term | years | years | ||||||
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.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period.
Restrictive stock awards
Effective February 12, 2026, the Company granted an aggregate of fully vested shares of its common stock to its former Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms of a separation agreement dated February 4, 2026. An additional shares were authorized for issuance under the agreement; however, such issuance had not been consummated as of the reporting date. Under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, the Company has measured the value of the shares granted based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($ per share).

The Company recognizes the reversal of any previously recognized compensation expense on forfeited awards in the period the awards are forfeited. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ thousand unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested RSUs, which the Company expects to recognize through December 2027.
Share-based compensation of $ thousand and $ thousand has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

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 distribute our products as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. We also have a line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers and 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. Our joint venture with CG Laboratories, Inc. called CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, which is located in Granbury, Texas in which we own a 50% interest, allowing us to expand our ability to deliver finished goods to our growing customer base.
Lines of Business
We have 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 has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.
| 27 |
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 a large order for newly developed product.
Consumer Branded Products
These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer 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 pain 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 Shopify stores.
Results of Operations
The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the comparison periods identified.
Comparison of the Three Months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 ($ in thousands)
Revenues, net
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Revenues, net | $ | 2,650 | $ | 2,806 | ||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 revenues were $2,650 and decreased by $156, or 5.6%, when compared to $2,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in our overall revenues was primarily due to a decline in our branded consumer products, partially offset by an increase in Medical Device/Other revenues.
Cost of revenues are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 ($ in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Cost of revenues | $ | 1,589 | $ | 1,618 | ||||
Cost of revenues decreased by $29, or 1.79%, to $1,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,618 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with decrease in sales.
| 28 |
Gross profit
Our gross profit was $1,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a gross profit of $1,188 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $127 in gross profit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily due to the decrease in consumer branded products partially offset by an increase in Medical Device/Other revenue. Gross profit was 40.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a gross profit of 42.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 ($ in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 2,019 | $ | 1,964 | ||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $55, or 2.8%, to $2,019 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in increase in professional and consulting fees of $59, partially offset by a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses of $6.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by $1 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Research and development expenses are related to research costs incurred for potential products for existing or new customers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources ($ in thousands)
Cash Flow (in thousands)
| March 31, | March 31, | |||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (504 | ) | $ | (400 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (9 | ) | - | |||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 1,577 | (215 | ) | |||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | 1,064 | (615 | ) | |||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year | 1,058 | 1,807 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalent at end of quarter | $ | 2,122 | $ | 1,192 | ||||
As of March 31, 2026, we had $2,122 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,058 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $504 and $400 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
| 29 |
Net cash used in investing activities was $9 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for March 31, 2026 was $1,577 and was attributable to the proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,618 offset by principal payments of notes payable and principal payments of financing lease liabilities of $41. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $215 and was attributable to $37 of principal payments of notes payable and principal payments of financing lease liabilities and payment of contingent consideration of $178.
At March 31, 2026, current assets totaled $5,638 and current liabilities totaled $3,314, as compared to current assets totaling $4,338 and current liabilities totaling $2,956 at December 31, 2025. As a result, we had working capital of $2,324 at March 31, 2026, compared to a working capital of $1,382 at December 31, 2025. The increase in the working capital as of March 31, 2026 is primarily attributable to the loss from operations of $958 and proceeds from issuance of convertible debt of $1,618.
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 capital raise which closed on or about August 5, 2025 provides working capital necessary to continue our strategic objectives (discussed further within Note 2). 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 March 31, 2026, 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.
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.
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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026 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 not maintaining proper segregation of duties, including: (i) we have not designed controls to ensure all accounting journals entries are reviewed and approved and (ii) we have 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 will not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until the actions discussed above have been implemented and operated effectively for a sufficient period of time.
| 31 |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 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
From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this information statement, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes during fiscal year 2026 to the risk factors that were included in the Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026
The Company did not sell any unregistered securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
