CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that relate to future events, our future operations or financial performance, or our plans, strategies and prospects. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management team. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or performance, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The forward-looking statements are based on projections prepared by, and are the responsibility of, our management team. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● our ability to access debt and equity markets and raise additional capital when needed;
● plans and expectations that depend on our ability to continue as a going concern;
● the success of our collaborations, clinical trials and pre-clinical development efforts and programs, which success may not be achieved on a timely basis or at all;
● our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our implant products, bioreactors, scaffolds and other devices we pursue, including for the esophagus or airway, which approvals may not be obtained on a timely basis or at all;
● the number of patients who can be treated with our products;
● the amount and timing of costs associated with our development of implant products, bioreactors, scaffolds and other devices;
● our ability to comply with regulations and any changes in regulations;
● our ability to avoid or minimize unpredictable difficulties or delays in the development of new technology;
● the ability of our collaborators or other third parties we contract with, including with respect to conducting any clinical trial or pre-clinical development efforts, to devote sufficient time and resources to successfully carry out their duties or meet expected deadlines;
● our ability to implement our growth strategy;
● our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and key employees and retain senior management;
● the availability and price of acceptable raw materials and components from third-party suppliers;
● the potential for liability exposure with respect to our products;
● our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, cash runway and needs for additional financing;
● our ability to compete in the fields of regenerative medicine and bioengineering and in consumer health products, and the financial resources of our competitors;
● our financial performance;
● the effects of the control our principal stockholders can exert based on holding a majority of voting power;
● our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect or enforce these rights, and the impact on our business, results and financial condition if we are unsuccessful in doing so; and
● our ability to address economic downturns and political and market conditions beyond our control and their potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, but not limited to, increasing our expenses and cost of capital and adversely impacting our supply chain.
These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this report, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Important factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements such as those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, elsewhere herein and in other filings that we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The risks described in such filings are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

HARVARD APPARATUS REGENERATIVE TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization
Overview
Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc. (“Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company focused on the development of regenerative medicine treatments for disorders of the gastro-intestinal system and other organs that result from cancer, trauma or birth defects. The Company believes its technology is likely to be used to repair wounds or other damage or defects resulting from esophageal cancer, esophageal injuries, and birth defects in the esophagus. The Company believes additional product candidates in its development pipeline may repair wounds or other damage or defects resulting from intestinal cancer and uterus wounds. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and acquiring operating assets.
Consumer Health Products
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong, Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology Limited, or Consumer Health Products, started focusing on sales of consumer health products.
Consumer Health Products plans to include a broad range of products focused on personal healthcare including dietary supplements. The Company currently sells dietary supplements through Consumer Health Products. These products are commercially marketed to the general public and initially targeted at consumers in Asia through eCommerce (online sales).
Going Concern
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since its inception, and as of
June 30, 2025
, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $
The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its current operations. In the event the Company is unable to raise additional capital from outside sources during the third quarter of 2025, it may be forced to curtail or cease its operations.
Cash requirements and cash resource needs will vary significantly depending upon the timing of the financial and other resource needs that will be required to complete ongoing development, pre-clinical and clinical testing of product candidates, as well as regulatory efforts and collaborative arrangements necessary for the Company’s product candidates that are currently under development. The Company is currently seeking and will continue to seek financing from other existing and/or new investors to raise necessary funds through a combination of public or private equity offerings. The Company may also pursue debt financings, other financing mechanisms, research grants, or strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.
The Company’s operations will be adversely affected if it is unable to raise or obtain needed funding and may materially affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are those set forth in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 ( the “Form 10 -K”).
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology and its subsidiaries; Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology Limited (Hong Kong), Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology (Hangzhou) Limited (China), and Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology GmbH (Germany). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 .
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, valuation of warrant liability, accrued expenses and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company offers consumer products primarily through a third -party online store. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon the delivery to the customer. For any company direct sales to customers, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment of product or hand-delivery to customer. In October 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Health Regen, Inc., of Pittsfield, MA (“Health Regen”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company granted Health Regen exclusive distribution rights to all of its Consumer Health Products globally. For any sales to distributors, revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the distributor, which is either upon shipment or upon receipt of finished goods by the distributor, depending on the contract terms. Revenue also excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales and indirect taxes.
The Company identifies a performance obligation as distinct if both the following criteria are true: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) and allocation of consideration from a contract to the individual performance obligations, and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, is the result of significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as historical sales, usage rates, costs, and expected margin, which may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of the purchase price of consumer products, taxes, inbound and outbound shipping costs. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are recognized as cost of sales when incurred. E-commerce processing and related transaction costs, including those associated with seller transactions, are classified in sales and marketing on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs include advertising and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities. In October 2024, the Company entered into the Distribution Agreement with Health Regen, pursuant to which the Company granted Health Regen exclusive distribution rights to all of its Consumer Health Products globally. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement is from November 1, 2024 through December 31, 2030.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of costs for corporate functions, including payroll and related expenses; facilities and equipment expenses, such as depreciation and amortization expense and rent; and professional fees.
Segment Information
The Company manages its operations as separate operating segments for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company has one operating unit focused on the development and commercialization of therapies to treat cancers, injuries, and birth defects of the gastro-intestinal tract and the airways. The other operating unit is focused on personal healthcare through dietary supplements. The Company has determined that its chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). The CODM reviews separate discrete financial information presented by operating segment. Resource allocation decisions are made by the CODM based on operating segment cash used in operations, revenues and net income (loss).
Cash Concentrations
The Company maintains its cash balances with a financial institution in federally insured accounts and may periodically have cash balances in excess of insurance limits. The Company maintains its accounts with financial institutions with a high credit rating. The Company has not experienced any losses to date and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company currently invests available cash in money market funds.
Accounts Receivable
Allowances for credit losses are provided for estimated amounts of accounts receivable which
may
not
be collected. At
June 30, 2025
and
December 31, 2024
, we determined that
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first -in, first -out method, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
The Company maintains ownership of its inventory at the third -party warehouse, regardless of whether fulfillment is provided by the Company or the third -party e-commerce seller, and therefore these products are included in the Company’s inventory.
Long-term Prepaid Contracts
The Company has contracted with partners relating to its clinical trial activities. Upon execution of the contracts, the Company made initial payments of $
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

|
Computer equipment and software |
|
|||
|

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while any additions or improvements are capitalized.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents advance payments received from customers for goods or services to be delivered in future periods. These payments are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as revenue when the related goods or services are provided. As of
June 30, 2025
, the Company had deferred revenue of $
Management regularly reviews the deferred revenue balance to ensure that revenue is recognized in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy and applicable accounting standards.
Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated from the functional currency into U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains or losses are recognized in income or loss in the period in which they occur.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the if-converted method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, par value $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial investments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash. The Company has all cash deposited at accredited financial institutions. Bank accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The objective of ASU 2023 - 09 is to enhance disclosures related to income taxes, including specific thresholds for inclusion within the tabular disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation and specified information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023 - 09 is effective for public companies starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023 - 09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024 - 03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024 - 03 improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring disaggregated disclosures of certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible amortization and depletion, as applicable, for each income statement caption that includes those expenses. In addition, the standard will require entities to define and disclose total selling expenses. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

10. Segments
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM evaluates the operating results of the Company’s reportable segments based on cash used in operations, revenues and net income (loss).
The Company follows the accounting guidance of ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280” ). Reportable operating segments are determined based on the management approach. The management approach, as defined by ASC 280, is based on the way that the CODM organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. While the Company’s results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the CODM manages the enterprise in reportable segments, each with different operating and potential revenue generating characteristics.
The Company has operating and reportable segments: (i) Regenerative Biotech focused on the development of regenerative medicine treatments with operations currently in the United States and (ii) Consumer Health Products relating to consumer health products with operations currently in Asia. All of the Company’s revenue was generated in Asia for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 . The following tables represent selected financial information for our segments:

Forward Looking Statements
The following section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “ Management ’ s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” contains statements that are not statements of historical fact and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “ believe, ” “ may, ” “ estimate, ” “ continue, ” “ anticipate, ” “ intend, ” “ should, ” “ could, ” “ would, ” “ target, ” “ seek, ” “ aim, ” “ believe, ” “ predicts, ” “ think, ” “ objectives, ” “ optimistic, ” “ new, ” “ goal, ” “ strategy, ” “ potential, ” “ likely, ” “ will, ” “ expect, ” “ plan ” “ project, ” “ permit ” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under the heading “ Item 1A. Risk Factors ” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ” ) on March 31, 2025. You should carefully review all of these factors, as well as the comprehensive discussion of forward-looking statements on page 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc. is referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us”, and “the Company”.
Business Overview
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of regenerative medicine treatments for disorders of the gastro-intestinal system and other organs that result from cancer, trauma or birth defects.
We believe that our technology represents a next generation solution for restoring organ function because it allows the patient to regenerate their own organ, thus eliminating the need for human donor or animal transplants, the sacrificing of another of the patient’s own organs or permanent artificial implants.
Our first esophageal product candidate, our esophageal implant was used in the first successful regeneration of the esophagus in a patient with esophageal cancer. This successful first-in-human experience, plus the research we have performed on over 50 pigs, led the FDA to approve our 10-patient phase 1 clinical trial. This combination trial will measure both safety and efficacy in the patient population.
We have contracted with IQVIA, a leading global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions and clinical research services to the life sciences industry, as the contract research organization (“CRO”) to manage our first clinical trial. We activated the first clinical trial site and started screening patients in the third quarter of 2023.
We have encountered delays in patient recruitment for our ongoing clinical trial, driven by several factors, including the existing comorbid conditions for clinical trial participants, the stringent eligibility criteria required by FDA for our studies, and logistical difficulties in enrolling participants across various sites.
Although we are actively implementing strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as increasing the number of trial sites and enhancing patient outreach efforts, there is a risk that these measures may not completely resolve the recruitment issues. Our product candidates are currently in development and have not yet received regulatory approval for sale anywhere in the world.
In addition to our development of regenerative medicine treatments, we also sell dietary supplements. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong, Consumer Health Products started focusing on consumer health products. Consumer Health Products plans to include a broad range of products focused on personal healthcare including dietary supplements. Consumer Health Products started selling consumer health supplements in the third quarter of 2023. These products are commercially marketed to the general public and currently targeted at consumers in Asia through eCommerce (online sales).
We were incorporated and commenced operations on November 1, 2013 as a result of a spin-off from Harvard Bioscience, Inc., or Harvard Bioscience. On that date, we became an independent company that operates the regenerative medicine business previously owned by Harvard Bioscience. The spin-off was completed through the distribution of all the shares of common stock of Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology to Harvard Bioscience stockholders.
We continue to assess the market and regulatory approval pathway in China as to our implant products. We are not certain at this time as to which market, including U.S. or China for example, may provide the most viable initial pathway for regulatory approval to a commercial product. This will depend on a number of factors, including the approval and development processes, related costs, ability to raise capital and the terms and conditions thereof, among other factors. Any development and capital raising efforts in China may include a joint venture in relation to our Hong Kong subsidiary, and would also involve a number of commercial variables, including rights and obligations pertaining to licensing, development, and financing, among others. Our failure to receive or obtain such clearances or approvals on a timely basis or at all, whether that be in the U.S., China or otherwise, would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Since our incorporation, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to developing our programs, building our intellectual property portfolio, business planning, raising capital and providing selling, general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have financed our operations with proceeds from the sales of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and warrants. In December 2017, we sold the inventory and rights to manufacture and sell research-only versions of our bioreactors to Harvard Bioscience.
Business Segments
We have two separate reportable segments. One segment, Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc., or Regenerative Biotech, is focused on the development and commercialization of therapies to treat cancers, injuries, and birth defects of the gastro-intestinal tract and the airways. The other segment, Consumer Health Products, is focused on personal healthcare, including dietary supplements.
Financial Condition and Need for Additional Funds
We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations during 2025 and in future years.
Operating Losses and Cash Requirements
We have incurred substantial operating losses since our inception, and as of June 30, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $103.2 million and will require additional financing to fund future operations. We expect that our operating cash on-hand as of June 30, 2025 of approximately $0.8 million and equity financing of $2 million in gross proceeds received subsequent to June 30, 2025 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for 2025 and in future years. Therefore, as disclosed in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will need to raise additional capital to fund our current operations. In the event we do not raise additional capital from outside sources during the third quarter of 2025, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
Cash requirements and cash resource needs will vary significantly depending upon the timing of the financial and other resource needs that will be required to complete ongoing development, pre-clinical and clinical testing of product candidates, as well as regulatory efforts and collaborative arrangements necessary for our product candidates that are currently under development. We are currently seeking and will continue to seek financings from other existing and/or new investors to raise necessary funds through a combination of public or private equity offerings. We may also pursue debt financings, other financing mechanisms, research grants, or strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.
Our operations will be adversely affected if we are unable to raise or obtain needed funding and may materially affect our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Components of Operating Loss
Product revenue . Product revenue consists of consumer health product sales, launched in Asia in the third quarter of 2023. We had not generated any revenue prior to the launch of our consumer health products.
Research and development expense . Research and development expense consists of salaries and related expenses, including share-based compensation, for personnel and contracted consultants and various materials and other costs to develop our new products, primarily: synthetic scaffolds, including investigation and development of materials and investigation and optimization of cellularization, as well as studies of cells and cell behavior. Other research and development expenses include the costs of outside service providers and material costs for prototype and test units and outside laboratories and testing facilities performing cell growth and materials experiments, as well as the costs of all other preclinical research and testing including animal studies and expenses related to potential patents. We expense research and development costs as incurred.
Sales and marketing expense . Sales and marketing costs include advertising and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities.
General and administrative expense . Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related expenses, including share-based compensation. Other costs include professional fees for legal and accounting services, insurance, investor relations and facility costs.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest expense on convertible debt and finance charges on insurance installment payments offset by interest income.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are discussed in more detail in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
Share-based Compensation
We account for our share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of current authoritative guidance. Share-based awards, including stock options, are measured at fair value as of the grant date and recognized as expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period), which we have elected to amortize on a straight-line basis. Expense on share-based awards for which vesting is performance or milestone based is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date when we determine the achievement of the milestone is probable to the vesting/milestone achievement date. Since share-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced by an estimate for future forfeitures. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Significant judgment is required in determining the proper assumptions used in this model. The assumptions used include the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and expected dividend yield. We base our assumptions on historical data when available or, when not available, on a peer group of companies. However, these assumptions consist of estimates of future market conditions, which are inherently uncertain and subject to our judgment, and therefore any changes in assumptions could significantly impact the future grant date fair value of share-based awards.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
Product Revenue
Product revenue was $317,000 and $56,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $261,000 increase, representing a 466% growth, was driven by expanded distribution and new product launches within our Health Regen segment, including CoQ-10 and sleep aid gummies, alongside continued strong performance from our existing offerings such as Liver Guard.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $302,000 and $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gross profit margin on our products decreased primarily due to wholesale pricing to our distributor compared to retail pricing to consumers in the comparable prior quarter.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased approximately $0.06 million, or 9%, to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased clinical trial and preclinical trial activities.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Selling and marketing expense decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 101%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 The reduction primarily stems from a change in our sales strategy, moving from direct sales to distribution partnerships.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense decreased approximately $0.5 million, or 32%, to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is attributable to the prior period's recognition of $0.5 million in non-recurring offering expenses associated with an anticipated offering that was not completed.
Interest income
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded interest income of approximately $7,000 earned from our money market account. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we generated no interest income.
Interest expense
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded interest expense of approximately $3,000 on insurance installment payments. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of approximately $10,000 on convertible debt and approximately $7,000 on insurance installment payments.
Other income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total other income of approximately $6,000. This amount includes $2,000 in sublease income and $4,000 generated from hosting site visits. These activities are part of our ongoing efforts to optimize the use of its facilities and engage with stakeholders.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
Product Revenue
Product revenue was $362,000 and $113,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $249,000, representing a 220% growth, was driven by launching new offerings and extending our market reach within our Health Regen segment, including CoQ-10 and sleep aid gummies, alongside continued strong performance from our existing offerings such as Liver Guard..
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $335,000 and $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase reflects scaling of operations to match higher sales.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 12%, to approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to reduced share-based compensation expense during the current period.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Selling and marketing expense decreased approximately $0.3 million, or 97% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 The decrease was primarily driven by a strategic shift from direct in-house sales to a distributor-based model.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 20%, to approximately $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition in the prior period of one-time offering costs totaling $0.5 million related to an anticipated offering that was not completed.
Interest income
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded interest income of approximately $20,000 earned from our money market account. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated no interest income.
Interest expense
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded interest expense of approximately $5,000 on insurance installment payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of approximately $16,000 on convertible debt and approximately $10,000 on insurance installment payments.
Other income
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total other income of approximately $6,000. This amount includes $2,000 in sublease income and $4,000 generated from hosting site visits. These activities are part of our ongoing efforts to optimize the use of its facilities and engage with stakeholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated no other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and as of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $103.2 million. We are currently investing significant resources in the development and commercialization of our product candidates for use by clinicians and researchers in the fields of regenerative medicine and bioengineering. As a result, we expect to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. Therefore, as disclosed in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The following table sets forth the primary uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to our net loss of approximately $3.5 million offset by adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $1.1 million due to non-cash expenses for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and an approximately $0.7 million increase to cash from changes in working capital due to the timing of payments for accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, long-term prepaid contracts, accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due primarily to our net loss of approximately $4.5 million offset by adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $1.1 million due to non-cash expenses for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and an approximately $1.1 million increase to cash from changes in working capital due to the timing of payments for accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, deferred financing costs, long-term prepaid contracts, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
