Key Financial Metrics

Note: Working Capital calculated as Total Current Assets minus Total Current Liabilities.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Revenue decreased by approximately 81.5% year-over-year, driven by lower product sales from Proteomedix due to reduced customer demand and timing of orders.
• Goodwill Impairment: The company recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $8.62 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $11.51 million in the prior year period. This was triggered by declines in stock price and market capitalization.
• Derivative Liability Gains: Other income increased significantly due to non-cash gains of approximately $3.82 million and $2.07 million related to changes in the fair value of Series D and Series E derivative liabilities, respectively.
• Capital Structure Changes: The company executed two reverse stock splits (1-for-5 in March 2026 and 1-for-10 in May 2026). Additionally, all Series E Preferred Stock was converted to common stock during the period, and a portion of Series D Preferred Stock was converted.
• Liquidity Improvement: Cash balances increased from $283,515 to $5.94 million, primarily due to financing activities including proceeds from an Equity Line of Credit (ELOC) and warrant exercises.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date. While cash is approximately $5.9 million, it is not sufficient to fund operations through August 2027 without additional capital.
• Realbotix Transaction: The company is pursuing a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire Realbotix, LLC. Closing is contingent on raising at least $12.5 million in "Net Cash" and obtaining stockholder approval. Failure to close could result in termination fees up to $2 million plus expenses.
• Recent Financing: Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the company entered into a Series F PIPE financing (gross proceeds ~$30.2 million, net ~$0.25 million) and a new ELOC agreement (up to $750 million) on July 28, 2026. However, management notes that available funds may still be insufficient to sustain operations and close the Realbotix transaction.
• Internal Controls: The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including inadequate segregation of duties, ineffective risk assessment, and insufficient IT general controls.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company faces risks regarding Nasdaq listing requirements, specifically the Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) threshold of $5 million.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $5.9 million cash balance against the stated burn rate and the timeline for the Realbotix transaction closing.
• Realbotix Closing Conditions: Confirm the status of the $12.5 million Net Cash condition and stockholder approval requirements for the Realbotix acquisition.
• Subsequent Financing Terms: Review the specific terms of the July 2026 Series F PIPE and ELOC agreements, particularly the commitment fees and dilution implications.
• Derivative Liability Volatility: Monitor the fair value of remaining derivative liabilities (Series D), which significantly impact reported net income/loss but are non-cash items.
• Internal Control Remediation: Assess the progress of the remediation plan for material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
