Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together
with the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,Operations” before deciding whether to invest in our securities.
The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events
or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, revenue, financial condition, results of operations,
and future prospects, in which event the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
The risks and uncertainties summarized above and described below are not intended to be exhaustive and are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, refer to “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from our anticipated results as a result
of a number of factors, including the risks described below.
We
have a history of operating losses.losses and negative cash flows from operations.
We
have a history
of operating losses,losses and negative cash flows from operations, and there is no guarantee that we will achieve profitability or positive
cash flows in the future. Our ability to generate
net profits and maintain positive cash flows is uncertain. Failure to achieve or sustain
profitability profitabilityor positive cash flows could result in a decline in the
value of our common stock and may necessitate seeking additional
funding under potentially unfavorable conditions.
Although
our financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, our current level of cash and cash equivalents available to us
is not sufficient to meet our operating plans for the next 12
months, raising substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as
a going concern.
Our
financial statements as of May 31, 2025,2026, have
been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concernconcern. Despite our financing activities, we continue to experience
recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash
equivalents will be insufficient to fund our operations and meet our obligations for the next
twelve months from the issuance date of

an explanatory paragraph highlighting our operational losses and expressingregarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going

Our
ability to continue as a going concern depends
on obtaining additional financing, achieving further operating efficiencies, increasing
sales, reducing costs, and ultimately generating
profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary
capital on favorable terms, achieve sufficient
revenue growth, or implement adequate cost reductions. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations or obtain additional
financing, we may be required to delay or reduce certain operating activities and expenditures. Our financial statements do not reflect
reflect any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this uncertainty.
Our
operating results may fluctuate adversely as a result of many factors that are outside our control, which maycould negativelyadversely impactaffect our
business and the market price of our stock
price.common stock.
Our operating results are subject to fluctuations due to factors outside our control, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. Key factors include:
Fluctuations in our operating results, for any reason, could cause increased operating losses as a result of significant fixed expenses.
We
base the scope of our operations and related expenses on our estimates of future revenues. A significant portion of our operating expenses
are fixed, and we may not be able to rapidly adjust our expenses if our revenues fall short of our expectations. Our revenue estimates
for future periods are based, among other factors, on estimated end-user demand for our products. If end-user consumption is less than
estimated, revenues from our distribution partners and other distribution channels would be expected tocould fall short of expectations, and
because such
a significant portion of our costs areis fixed, such revenue shortfalls could result in operating losses.
Our revenues have declined, and there is no assurance that we will reverse this trend.
Our net sales decreased from approximately $5,311,000 in fiscal 2025 to approximately $4,453,000 in fiscal 2026, a decline of approximately 16%. This decline was driven in part by distributor ordering patterns and the timing of international shipments. We cannot assure you that our revenues will stabilize or increase in future periods. Continued revenue declines could increase our operating losses, accelerate our use of cash, and increase our dependence on external financing, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
To
remain competitive, we must continue to develop, obtain, and protect our proprietary technologytechnologies and intellectual property rights; otherwise,
we may lose market
share or need to reduce prices as a result of competitors selling technologically superior products that compete with
our products,products or
selling products at lower prices.
Our
ability to compete successfully in the diagnostic market depends on the continued development and introduction of new products, technology,
and the improvement of existing technology.products and technologies. If we cannot continue to improve upon or develop, obtain, and protect our
proprietary technology,technologies and intellectual property rights, our
operating results could be adversely affected.
Our
operations willcould be adversely affected if our operating results do not correspondingly increase with our increased expenditures or if
our technology, product, and market development efforts are unsuccessful or delayed. Furthermore, our failure to successfully introduce
new technologies or products and develop new markets could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
TheWe
Company isare required to obtain governmentand maintain applicable governmental or regulatory certificationclearances, approvals, registrations or certifications in many
countries and the European communityregions to sell itsour products
in those countries or regions. There is no assurance that the Companywe will be able to retainobtain itsor certificationmaintain
such regulatory authorizations in the future. This includes
the possibility and risk that thecertain Company’sof our products domay not meetsatisfy the newapplicable EU IVDR
testing and documentation requirements in the
future as described in the above “Research and Development” section of this document.Annual Report.
Significant
government regulation exists in countries in which we conduct business. A large part of the Company’sour sales is to distributors
in Europe, China,
and other countries, which require us to maintain certain certifications or other regulatory authorizations to sell our products. Failure
to comply with
current governmental regulations and quality assurance guidelines could cause the loss of these certifications, which
could materially
adversely affect theour results of the Company.operations. Loss of certifications could lead to temporary manufacturing shutdowns,
product recalls,
product shortages, or delays in product manufacturing and a decline in sales. Also, evolving EU IVDR requirements may
increase compliance
costs and extend certification timelines, which could limit or delay our ability to sellmarket certain IVDD products in the
EU.
TheWe
Company maintainsmaintain a manufacturing plant in Mexico which presents risks to the Companyus including risks associated with doing business
outside the United
States.
We
operate a significant manufacturing facility in Mexico through our subsidiary, Biomerica de Mexico. This international presence introduces
a range of risks, including exposure to local economic and political conditions. Factors such as social unrest, potential terrorism,
export and import restrictions, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates could impact our operations. Additionally, there is a risk
of labor shortages,shortages or increased labor costs, which could affect our manufacturing capabilities. These factors could lead to unforeseen
costs and disruptions,
materially impactingand could have a material adverse effect our business, financial results, and operational stability.
Our
research and production processes involve the use of hazardous materials, which presentspresent inherent risks. Despite rigorous safety protocols,
the possibility of accidental contamination or injury cannot be entirely eliminated. In the event of an accident, we could face significant
liability for harm or damages,damage, potentially exceeding our financial resources. Compliance with environmental regulations also entails
substantial costs.
Our
net sales were approximately $5,311,000$4,453,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025,2026, compared to $5,415,000$5,311,000 for the fiscal year enededended May

our net sales, respectively.sales.
Total
gross receivables as of May 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025 were approximately $757,000$823,000 and $966,000,$757,000, respectively. As of May 31, 20252026 and 2024,2025, thewe
Companyhad hadthree and four distributors, respectively, that accounted for a total of 69%59% and 64%69% of gross accounts receivable, respectively.
Of Of
the 69%59% as of May 31, 2025,2026, 27%34% was owed by atwo distributordistributors in North America. Any adverse changes in our relationships with key distributors,
or adverse issues related to their financial condition, performance, or purchasing patterns, could have a significant impact on our sales
and overall financial results. The loss of a key distributor, or the failure of our direct distribution efforts, could further exacerbate
these challenges and adversely affect our business.
We
face risks relating to our international sales, including economic, political, and regulatory challenges, which could impact our financial
performance, disrupt our business operations, and hinder our growth strategy.
A
significant amount of our products are sold internationally, with substantial sales to distributors in Asia and Europe. We rely on distributor
organizations and sales agents to market and sell our products abroad, which exposes us to various foreigninternational risks, including:
Most
of our international sales are negotiated and paid in U.S.United States dollars. However, currency risks remain, as fluctuations in foreign
exchange exchange
rates can make our products comparatively more expensive. These exchange rate changes, along with general economic conditions
in international
markets, could negatively impact our sales. To maintain competitive pricing, we may need to offer discounts or reduce
prices, leading
to lower margins on international sales. Continued changes in the values of the Euro, the Mexican peso, and other foreign
currencies currencies
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A
significant portion of our revenues comes from sales
to our distribution partner in China. Political tensions between the U.S.United States and ChinaChina, including potential sanctions, export controls,
tariff escalations, or retaliatory trade measures, could disrupt or reduce our sales in the Chinese market, posing a substantial risk
to our business.business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In
certain markets, tariff changes and related trade uncertainties contributed to extended lead times andtimes, rescheduled shipments, and
cancellation of orders from foreign vendors or end customers, which affected
the total revenues and the timing of revenue
recognition for certain international orders.
Our
business strategy contemplates furthergrowth growth,in revenues, including scaling up our operational systems and entering new geographical markets,
including including
those outside the United States. This growth strategy could place additional demands on our limited employee and executive
staff, potentially
diverting their focus from core business activities. Furthermore, managing growth may strain our operational,
financial, and management
information systems.
Advances in artificial intelligence and competing diagnostic technologies could reduce demand for our products.
The diagnostic industry is experiencing technological change, including the development of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning-enabled diagnostic development. The regulatory frameworks for AI-enabled diagnostics are evolving, and competitors with greater resources may be better positioned to navigate these requirements. If we are unable to adapt our product offerings or develop competitive technologies in response to these advances, demand for our products could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We
rely on IPintellectual property for the current products we sell and for the new products in research, development, and in clinical
trials. While thewe Company
triestry to protect itsour IPintellectual property with confidentiality agreements and internal policies, we still face risks
that our IPintellectual property will be stolen or otherwise
misappropriated, by parties inside or outside of the United States.
Further, we have filed many patents around the world on much of the
research and development done by the Company,us, and the proposed products
to come from this research. The majoritySome of these filed patents
are still under review and have not yet been allowed or issued. WeOur mayexisting
patent notclaims, bealong ablewith toany attainfuture issued patent claims thatmay adequatelyprove to be inadequate to protect the
companyus from competitors developing
similar products or copying our products. Finally, there isare a great number of issued patents owned
by others that pertain to the
product categories in which we operate. While we do not know of any patents with claims that we are violating
by manufacturing or
selling our current products, there is a risk that certain third-party patents will come to our attention that prohibit
us from
selling our products or that require us to pay royalty payments. Such third-party claims could have a material negative impact on
on the Company.us. Any of these IP-relatedintellectual property-related risks could cause material damage to our future revenues and to the long-term enterprisevalue
of valuesour of
the Company.enterprise.
Some
of the products that we manufacture, sell, or use may be covered by claims in issued patents held by other persons or entities, and as
such, upon notice from such persons or entity, we may be required to pay a license fee or may be required to cease all manufacture, salesale,
or use of such products, which could negatively impact our financial results or operations. We cannot guarantee that such claims will
not be made in the future.
Although
we currently generate revenue, our company is operating at a loss due to significant costs from the early stage commercialization of
our newly developed products and
fromalong awith slow launch in revenues from our new products and someongoing investments in research and development and.development. To sustain and advance our business
business strategy, we must continue to raise additional funds to meet our capital and operating needs. This often involves seeking public or
or private debt or issuing equity. Raising funds through equity can dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.
The
availability of capital, whether raised through
debt or equity, is subject to fluctuations based on our financial condition and general market
or industry conditions. There may be periods
when private capital markets or public debt and equity markets lack liquidity, or when we
are unable to sell our securities at favorable
prices. In such scenarios, accessing capital on favorable terms maywill becomebe challenging.
Failure
to secure adequate funding could force us
to delay, reduce, or even eliminate certain development programs or commercialization efforts.
The costs associated with development projects
and regulatory approvals can be unpredictable and may exceed our initial estimates. As
our current operations are insufficient to cover
these unexpected costs, this could adversely impact our ability to execute our business
strategy and achieve our long-term goals.goals, and
could ultimately require us to curtail or cease operations.
The
testing, manufacturing, and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United
States, States,
principally the FDA, and corresponding state and foreign regulatory agencies. Our future performance depends on, among other
matters, matters,
if, when, and at what cost we will receive regulatory approval for certain new products, and if we can continue to comply
with the many regulatory
requirements that enable us to manufacture and sell medical related products and tests. Regulatory review
can be a lengthy, expensive,
and uncertain process, making the timing and costs of clearances and approvals difficult to predict.
Meeting all regulatory requirements,
laws and mandates, and maintaining compliance with such in order to manufacture and sell
medical products can be difficult and expensive.
Our results of operations and our viability would be negatively affected by
failures or delays in the receipt of regulatory approvals or clearances, the
loss of previously received approvals or clearances,
the placement of limits on the marketing and use of our products, and restrictions
on our ability to manufacture our
products.
Changes
in government policy could have a significant impact on our business by increasing the cost of doing business, affecting our ability
to sell our products and negatively impacting our profitability. Such changes could include tariffs, embargos, trade wars, modifications
to existing legislation, such as U.S.United States tax policy, or entirely new legislation, such as the Affordable HealthcareCare Act in the
United States.
We cannot predict the many ways that healthcare reform in the United States and internationally, and changing trade legislation
and policies
could adversely affect our business. It is unclear whether and to what extent, if at all, other anticipated developments,
including changes
due to new presidential administration priorities, or changes resulting from healthcare reform, such as a change in
the number of people
with health insurance, may impact us.
In
addition to FDA and other regulations referred to above, numerous laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions,
manufacturing manufacturing
practices, data privacy, environmental protection, fire hazard control, and disposal of hazardous or potentially
hazardous substances
impact our business operations. If these laws or their interpretation change or new laws regulating any of our
businesses are adopted,
the costs of compliance with these laws could substantially increase our overall costs. Failure to comply
with any new or existing laws, including laws
regulating the manufacture and marketing of our products, could result in substantial
costs and loss of sales or customers. Because of
the number and extent of the laws and regulations affecting our industry, and the
number of governmental agencies whose actions could
affect our operations, it is impossible to reliably predict the full nature and
impact of future legislation or regulatory developments
relating to our industry and our products. To the extent the costs and
procedures associated with meeting newexisting, new, or changing requirements
are substantial, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
The
end-usersend users of our products are physicians, labs, other healthcare providers and direct consumers. In the United States, healthcare providersproviders,
such as hospitals and physiciansphysicians, whothat purchase diagnostic products generally rely on third-party payers, principally private health
insurance insurance
plans, federal Medicare, and state Medicaid, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the procedure. The growth needed in the sales of our
our products would be adversely impacted if physicians and other healthcare providers do not receive adequate reimbursement for the cost
of our products by their patients’ third-party payers both in the United States and in foreign markets. Our total revenue could
also be adversely affected by changes or trends in reimbursement policies of governmental or private healthcare payers. We believe that
the overall escalating cost of medical products and services has led to, and will continue to lead to, increased pressures on the healthcare
industry, both foreign and domestic, to reduce the cost of products and services. Given the efforts to control and reduce healthcare
costs in recent years, currently available levels of reimbursement may not continue to be available in the future for our existing products
or products under development. Third-party reimbursement and coverage may not be available or adequate in either the United States or
foreign markets, current reimbursement amounts may be decreased in the future and future legislation, regulation, or reimbursement policies
of third-party payers may reduce the demand for our products or adversely impact our ability to sell our products on a profitable basis.
Finally,With respect to our inFoods® IBS product, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has established a national Medicare payment
rate of $300 under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule for claims with dates of service beginning January 1, 2026. Medicare payment
rates under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule are subject to future adjustment. Further, the establishment of a payment rate does not guarantee coverage, utilization, or payment. If we are inunable
to obtain or maintain adequate Medicare or other third-party payer coverage and reimbursement for, adoption and utilization of the processinFoods®

operations and our inFoods IBS® product in the US market. If we
are unsuccessful in attaining reimbursement for this product, we will likely fall well short of our future revenue projections.viability.
A
claim of a defect in the design or manufacture of our products could have a material adverse effect on our reputation in the
industry industry
and subject us to claims of liability for injuries and otherwise.otherwise, which could result in substantial legal and settlement
costs. Further, a claim that one of our products is defective or does not
actually meet the performance criteria we claim in our
marketing materials, could require a product recall or otherwise have a substantial
impact on our revenues and financial
performance. Any substantial underinsured cost or loss resulting from such a claim or defect would have
a material adverse effect on
our operating results and financial conditionscondition and the damage to our reputation or product lines in the
industry could have a
material adverse effect on our business.
We
face a number of business risks, including exposure to product liability claims, employment law claims, claims that the Companywe or itsour
officers, directors or employees have engaged in illegal or wrongful acts, claims of violation of environmental laws, and many other
possible claims. Although we maintain insurance for a number of these risks, we may face claims for types of damages, or for amounts
of damages, that are not covered by our insurance. For example, although we currently carry product liability insurance for
liability liability
losses, there is a risk that product liability or other claims may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be
excluded from
coverage under the terms of our policy. Also, our existing insurance may not be renewed at the same cost and level of
coverage as currently
in effect or may not be renewed at all. Further, we do not currently have insurance against many environmental
and other risks we confront in our
business. If we are held liable for a claim against which we are not insured or for damages
exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage,
that claim could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
We
rely on third-party contract research organizations (“CROs”), universities or/clinical sites collectively, (“Clinical
Research Partners”), to coordinate, monitor and conduct of our clinical trials and to manage, analyze, and interpret data for our
clinical programs. We, and our Clinical Research Partners, are required to comply with current Good Clinical Practices (“GCPs”),
regulations, and guidelines issued by the FDA and by similar governmental authorities in other countries where we are conducting clinical
trials. We have an ongoing obligation to monitor the activities conducted by our Clinical Research Partners and at our clinical sites
to confirm compliance with these requirements. In the future, if we, our Clinical Research PartnersorPartners or our clinical sites fail to comply
with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA may require us to perform
additional clinical trials before approving our marketing applications. If our Clinical Research Partners do not successfully carry out
their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the
clinical data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical protocols, regulatory requirements or for other
reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully
commercialize our product candidates. As a result, our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would
be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed.
Failures
in our information technology and storage systems, many of which are outsourced to third parties, could significantly disrupt our business
and incur excessive costs.
Despite
our and our Clinicalthird Researchparty Partners’partners’ implementation of security measures, information technology systems remain vulnerable to
damage from various sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, telecommunications or network failures, malicious human
acts, terrorism, and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and backup measures, some of our servers and those of our
Clinicalthird Researchparty Partnerspartners may still be susceptible to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, and similar disruptive issues.
Cybersecurity risks are escalating and pose significant threats to our operations. Cyber-attacks could result in the loss of vital company
documentation and data, disclosure of confidential client
and customer information or disclosure of other confidential third-party documents held by the company,us, essential for our operations.
There is also a risk that our measures and those of our third-party vendors and partners to protect our systems from cyber-attacks may not be sufficient to prevent attacks by new sources and methods.
In
response to the need to reduce ongoing operating costs, we have implemented a substantial reduction in our workforce. This reduction
places an increased workload on the remaining employees and may create concerns about job security. These factors could lead to the loss
of key employees, who are critical to our future success, and may make it difficult to attract and retain new talent in these roles.
Future
sales by the Companyus of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market to raise needed capital, or the perception that
that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of our common stock and could make it more difficult for
for us to raise funds in the future through a public offering of our securities.
On September 28, 2023, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which was declared effective on September 29, 2023, to replace the expiring “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 that was filed on July 21, 2020, as amended on September 20, 2020, allowing us to issue up to $20,000,000 in shares of our common stock from time to time.
On May 10, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC to facilitate the sale of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “2024 ATM Offering”). We have sold shares under the 2024 ATM Offering and may continue to do so the extent the applicable registration statement and prospectus supplement remain effective and available for use.
On
September 28, 2023, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, allowing the Company to issue up
to $20,000,000 in common shares. Under this registration statement, shares of our common stock may be sold from time to time for up to
three years from the filing date. On May 10, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC, as part of the registration statement
filed on September 28, 2023, which was declared effective on September 29, 2023. This supplement was intended to facilitate the sale
of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through an At The Market (ATM) offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
The issuance of additional shares of our common stock, or other securities, could dilute our existing stockholders’ ownership interests, potentially depress the market price of our common stock, and impair our ability to raise capital through future equity sales. In June 2026, our certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 300,000,000, significantly increasing the number of shares that may be available for future issuance. The size and impact of future issuances on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted. Future issuances could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
In
order to attainobtain neededadditional capital to operatefund the Company,our
operations, we may need to issue preferred stock, warrants, convertible debt or other financial
instruments that could have liquidation
priority, requirements for interest or dividend payments, or other rights and that could be detrimental
to existing shareholders’
return on their investment in the Company.
Nasdaq’s recently adopted minimum Market Value of Listed Securities requirement of $5 million could result in the suspension and delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq.
On July 22, 2026, the SEC approved a new Nasdaq rule (Listing Rules 5450(a)(3) and 5550(a)(6)) requiring companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of at least $5 million. Under the new rule, if a company’s MVLS remains below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination, and trading in the Company’s securities will be immediately suspended without any cure or compliance period. This represents a significant departure from Nasdaq’s traditional approach to continued listing deficiencies, which typically provides issuers with compliance periods to regain compliance while remaining listed. Although a Nasdaq Hearings Panel may, in its discretion, grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Staff Delisting Determination if a company demonstrates that it can satisfy Nasdaq’s initial listing standards, such relief is discretionary, and the suspension from Nasdaq trading is not automatically stayed during any appeal. On July 29, 2026, the new Nasdaq rule was automatically stayed pending further action by the Commission. While the temporary stay delays the rule’s effectiveness, it does not alter the SEC’s approval of the new continued listing standard.
As of the date of this Annual Report, our MVLS may be at or near levels that could implicate this new requirement. Given our current stock price and the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, a sustained decline in our stock price or other adverse market conditions could cause our MVLS to fall below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days, triggering an immediate suspension and delisting from Nasdaq. A delisting under this rule would have the same adverse consequences described above, including reduced liquidity, limited market quotations, diminished analyst coverage, and impaired ability to raise capital. Moreover, the lack of a cure period under this rule means that we would have limited time and recourse to address any such deficiency, and any appeal to a Hearings Panel would require us to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s more stringent initial listing standards.

“Due to the slower-than-expected launch of our key products, inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™, we have initiated significant cost-cutting measures to extend our cash runway and work towards increasing revenues to cover overhead costs. These measures include a workforce reduction of nearly 15% during this fiscal year, which incurred costs such as severance, impacting typical cost trends and margins.

physicians’ offices and over-the-counter channels. We also provide contract development and manufacturing services to third
parties that utilize the technology underlying our products. In addition, we are commercializing our inFoods® IBS product
through physician-directed and laboratory-based channels, including third-party reimbursement pathways. Most of our products arecarry Conformitea

for diagnostic use, with several also cleared by the U.S.United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for sale in the United
States.
Technological
advances in medical diagnostics have enabled diagnostic tests to be performed not only in clinical laboratories but also at home and
at the point-of-care in physicians’ offices. OneWe of our key objectives has beenstrive to develop and market rapid diagnostic testsproducts that
are accurate, utilize
easily obtained patient specimens,specimens andand, arewhere simpleappropriate, tocan performbe performed without the need for complex instrumentation. Our
home use
(over-the-counter) and professional use (physicians’ office, clinics, etc.) rapid diagnostic test products help manage
existing medical conditions and may save lives through early detection and diagnosis of specific diseases. Traditionally, such tests
required the expertise of medical technologists and sophisticated equipment, with results often not available for days. We believe
our our
rapid point-of-care tests, when properly used, can be as accurate as laboratory tests. Our products require limited to no instrumentation,
deliver reliable results in minutes, and can be performed with confidence at home or in a physician’s office.
We invest resources in the research and development of new diagnostic products and technologies designed to address a range of medical conditions and unmet clinical needs. Our research and development activities include the development and optimization of immunoassays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (“ELISAs”), rapid diagnostic tests, and related diagnostic technologies. These products are either internally developed or developed under contract for customers.
We
invest resources in the research and development of new products designed to diagnose and, in some cases, treat several major medical
diseases. These products are either internally developed or licensed from others. Our experienced and highly trained technical personnel,

A key outcome from our research and development efforts is our patented diagnostic-guided therapy (“DGT”) product, developed on the inFoods® technology platform. This innovative technology is designed to aid in the management of gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”) and other inflammatory diseases. The DGT product targets chronic inflammatory illnesses that are widespread and prevalent in large markets. We have launched the inFoods® IBS product, which leverages this patented technology. The inFoods® IBS product utilizes a simple blood test to identify patient-specific foods that, when eliminated from the diet, may help reduce IBS symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Unlike broad and difficult to manage dietary restrictions, the inFoods® IBS product pinpoints a patient’s heightened immunoreactivity to specific foods known to frequently trigger IBS symptoms. By removing the foods identified as problematic, patients can achieve relief from IBS symptoms.
During fiscal 2026, we continued the phased commercialization of our inFoods® IBS product, focusing primarily on gastroenterology (“GI”) physician practices in multiple states and regions. During the year, we obtained a dedicated CPT® Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (“PLA”) code for inFoods® IBS and continued to advance our reimbursement strategy. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services established a national Medicare payment rate of $300 for inFoods® IBS, applicable to approved claims with dates of service beginning January 1, 2026. In addition, the applicable Medicare Administrative Contractor confirmed that claims for inFoods® IBS may be considered on an individual, claim-by-claim basis. We also entered into a marketing services agreement with Henry Schein to support the introduction and commercialization of inFoods® IBS to physicians in the United States.
We
have introduced our inFoods® product to select gastroenterology (“GI”) physician groups in multiple states and regions,
including collaboration with one of the largest GI groups in the U.S. This initial phase was focused on gathering real-world feedback,
optimizing physician engagement, and validating operational processes. GI physician feedback has been generally positive, and we are
continuing to expand our network by onboarding additional physician practices.
Our
dedicated sales team is focused on building strong relationships within the GI segment and increasing physician adoption and utilization
of inFoods® IBS, while selectively exploring opportunities to introduce
inFoods® IBS to other medical specialties, including
integrated health practices and primary-care providers. These efforts are intended
to lay the groundwork forsupport broader adoption by showcasing the distinct clinical value of inFoods® IBS across
multiple healthcare channels.
Concurrently,
we are evaluatingpursuing distribution, partnership, and licensing opportunities with U.S. companies to support a scalable, broad market launch.
These potential collaborations could significantly enhance thebroader commercialization trajectory of inFoods®
IBS. products,These bothefforts include our previously announced marketing services agreement with Henry Schein, which supports the introduction of
inFoods® IBS to physicians in the United States. We may also pursue additional commercial relationships domestically
and internationally.
During fiscal 2026, we engaged with the applicable Medicare Administrative Contractor regarding coverage and reimbursement for inFoods® IBS. While the establishment of the $300 Medicare payment rate does not guarantee coverage, utilization, or payment, management believes it represents an important step toward broader market access. Following fiscal year-end, our partner lab began submitting initial Medicare claims for inFoods® IBS under the applicable PLA code. Initial valid claims submitted to date have been paid at the full CMS price of $300. Claims are currently considered on an individual basis, and payment of any particular claim is not guaranteed. As Medicare reimbursement develops, we may pursue reimbursement with private payer insurance companies over time. We believe reduced out-of-pocket costs could support increased adoption and utilization of inFoods® IBS.
We
are currently in the process of applying for US government payment or reimbursement for the inFoods IBS product through the Medicare
system. If the Company is successful in attaining reimbursement, we will move forward with applying for reimbursement of this product
by private payer insurance companies. If patients are able to attain and use our inFoods IBS® product at no cost, or with a small
co-payment, we believe this will dramatically increase our revenues from this product.
As
we continue to pursue commercial opportunities in both U.S. and international markets, we remain attentive to evolving global
economic conditions,
including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics.dynamics, wars and
other political strife. Although these factors have not
had a material impact on our operations to date, future
changes in trade regulations, tariff structures, or logistical constraints could
influence the cost, availability, or timing of
materials and components used in our manufacturing processes.processes, and our ability to sell our finished products into international
markets. We continue to monitor these
developments closely and are actively implementing contingency plans, including alternative
sourcing strategies and supplier diversification,
to support supply chain continuity, maintain operational efficiency, and help
mitigate potential future impacts. We are also focusing
on alternative manufacturing and shipping strategies of our products through
BioEurope GmbH, our European subsidiary (BioEurope),subsidiary, and Biomerica de Mexico, our Mexican subsidiary
(BioMexico),subsidiary, to mitigate some of the risk thesethat tariffs
and other policies may have on our revenues and operations.
In
addition, in December 2023 we received FDA clearance for hp+detect™, a diagnostic test designed to detect Helicobacter pylori (H.
pylori) bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. H. pylori is a prevalent infection, affecting approximately 35% of the U.S.United States
population
and 45% of the population in Europe’s largest countries. This bacterium is recognized as the strongest known risk factor
for gastric
cancer, which remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. The hp+detect™ test is marketed
directly to
laboratories and is intended to provide physicians and medical centers with a reliable tool for diagnosing H. pylori infections
and monitoring
treatment effectiveness. In February 2026, hp+detect™ received registration from the United Kingdom Medicines and
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”). During fiscal 2026, we received our first commercial order for hp+detect™
from a large clinical laboratory chain for the United Kingdom market. We arecontinue activelyto promotingmarket hp+detect™ to largelaboratories end-customerin laboratoriesthe United
States and positioningEurope theand productpursue opportunities for
broader commercial adoption.
We continue to balance revenue generated from our established diagnostic products and contract manufacturing services with investments in newer diagnostic products, including inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™. Management believes this diversified portfolio approach provides opportunities to generate revenue from our existing business while advancing newer commercial initiatives. We also continue to pursue contract development and manufacturing opportunities that leverage our existing manufacturing, quality and technical infrastructure and may provide incremental revenue without requiring significant additional fixed infrastructure.
In May 2026, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with a life sciences company for the development of proprietary in vitro diagnostic assays. The agreement carries an initial contract development target fee of over $1,750,000, to be earned on a milestone-completion basis across multiple Statements of Work under the MSA over an estimated 19 to 25 months period. All development work will be performed at the Company’s FDA-licensed, ISO 13485-certified facility in Irvine, California, utilizing existing personnel, equipment and infrastructure. The engagement is expected to require minimal incremental costs, and management believes it may support improved utilization of the Company’s existing manufacturing infrastructure and provide incremental revenue. Revenue is recognized with executed Statement of Work and accepted milestone deliverables.
During fiscal 2026, we continued to manage operating expenses and allocate resources toward activities supporting commercialization, reimbursement and revenue generation. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased modestly, primarily reflecting higher regulatory fees, sales-related compensation and commercial support costs, partially offset by lower sales commissions for certain products. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to lower labor allocations to research and development activities and reduced spending on certain research and development projects. Overall operating expenses increased slightly compared with fiscal 2025, reflecting higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower research and development spending.
Additionally, during the year ended May 31, 2026, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,827,000 from sales of our common stock under the ATM offering. Net cash used in operating activities also decreased to approximately $3,421,000 during fiscal 2026 from approximately $3,842,000 during fiscal 2025. We are also actively exploring strategic opportunities to enhance and create shareholder value.
Due
to the slower-than-expected launch of our key products, inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™, we have initiated
significant cost-cutting measures to extend our cash runway and work towards increasing revenues to cover overhead costs. These measures
include a workforce reduction of nearly 15% during this fiscal year, which incurred costs such as severance, impacting typical cost trends
and margins. Additionally, we raised $2,015,000 in net proceeds from the ATM offering filed in May 2024 providing additional liquidity
to support our operations. We are actively exploring strategic opportunities to enhance and create shareholder value.
Reverse
Stock Split
Effective
April 21, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock
Split”) of our Common Stock. Beginning with the opening of trading on the Effective Date, our common stock began trading on Nasdaq
on a split-adjusted basis under the same symbol, “BMRA.” As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 8 shares of our common
stock issued and outstanding were automatically combined and converted into 1 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of
common stock. In lieu of any fractional shares, stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share instead
had their interests automatically rounded up to the next whole share, after aggregating all the fractional interests of a holder resulting
from the Reverse Stock Split.
The
Reverse Stock Split did not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock or preferred stock as set forth in our Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended. All historical share and per share data for the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements,
including for periods ending prior to the Effective Date, has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-8 Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive
basis as if the Reverse Stock Split occurred as of the earliest period presented.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, our net sales were approximately $4,453,000, representing a decrease of $858,000, or 16%, compared to $5,311,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower clinical laboratory sales, reflecting variability in the timing and periodic nature of customer orders, as well as reduced over-the-counter sales resulting from lower retail market activity from international distributors, including the impact of uncertainties related to tariffs and international trade. Net sales were also impacted by lower contract manufacturing revenue following the completion of a prior research and development project. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for the inFoods® IBS product; however, revenues from inFoods® IBS remained in the early stages of commercialization and only partially offset the declines in our established product and contract manufacturing businesses.
Consolidated cost of sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026 was approximately $4,091,000, or 92% of net sales, compared to $4,813,000, or 91% of net sales, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes in our clinical laboratory and contract manufacturing markets, resulting in lower product costs and manufacturing activity. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remained relatively consistent year over year, with the modest increase primarily attributable to changes in product mix and lower overall sales volume, which resulted in reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. We believe increased sales volumes, including from inFoods® IBS and contract manufacturing activities, could provide greater utilization of our existing manufacturing infrastructure and improved absorption of fixed production costs.
For
the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, our net sales were approximately $5,311,000, representing a decrease of $104,000, or 2%, compared
to $5,415,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced retail market activity, lower international
over-the-counter sales due to potential tariff impacts, and volatility in clinical laboratory demand. These declines were partially offset
by higher contract manufacturing billings and increased demand for our inFoods® IBS product.
Consolidated
cost of sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 was approximately $4,813,000, or 91% of net sales, compared to $4,804,000, or 89%
of net sales, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, reflecting a slight increase of $9,000, or 0.2%. The increase was primarily attributable
to higher contract manufacturing costs, driven by increased sales in this category, as well as higher costs associated with our inFoods®
product. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in direct labor costs. The overall margin impact also reflected a shift
in sales mix, with lower over-the-counter sales, which typically generate higher margins in the retail market.

Our research and development expenses were approximately $788,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, compared to $1,023,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, a decrease of $235,000, or 23%. The decrease was primarily driven by approximately $199,000 of lower payroll and related personnel costs and approximately $39,000 of lower costs associated with our inFoods® IBS research and development activities. The decrease reflects the progression of certain programs, including inFoods® IBS and hp+detect™, from development activities toward commercialization, as well as the allocation of personnel and resources toward manufacturing and commercial activities. We continue to invest in research and development activities supporting our existing products, potential new applications of the inFoods® technology platform, product improvements and contract development opportunities. For additional information regarding our research and development activities, see “Research and Development” under Item 1. Business.
Our
research and development expenses were approximately $1,023,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, compared to $1,491,000 for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, a decrease of $468,000, or 31%. The decrease was primarily driven by a $311,000 reduction in payroll
expenses following a reduction in force implemented in July 2024, $68,000 in cost saving related to our inFoods® research and development
projects, and a $33,000 reduction in research and development hp+detect™ project expenses as the research phase was completed.

Dividend, interest, and other income was approximately $1,233,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, compared to $165,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, an increase of $1,068,000, or 648%. This increase was primarily attributable to $1,100,000 related to the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), a refundable payroll-tax credit established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The ERC was available to eligible employers for wages paid during calendar year 2021 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes was approximately $23,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, compared to approximately $1,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to foreign income taxes. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
As of May 31, 2026 and 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,308,000 and $2,399,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2026 and 2025, we had working capital of approximately $1,535,000 and $3,135,000, respectively. We have experienced variability in our revenue and a reduction in our cash position in recent periods, which has impacted our liquidity. The decrease in cash during fiscal 2026 primarily reflects approximately $3,400,000 of cash used in operating activities, partially offset by proceeds from sales of common stock under our 2024 ATM Offering and $500,000 of proceeds received under the secured promissory note described below.
TheOur
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be
issued is influenced by several factors, including:
Management
has analyzed the Company’s cash flow requirements through August 2026 and beyond. Based on this analysis, we believe our current
cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic growth objectives for the next twelve
months.
To
address our capital needs and sustain operations beyond the next year, we are actively pursuing strategies to increase sales, reduce
expenses, sell non-core assets, seek additional financing through debt or equity, and seek other strategic alternatives.
As
part of our efforts to reduce costs, we have initiated significant cost-cutting measures to extend our cash runway and work towards increasing
revenues to cover overhead costs. These measures include a workforce reduction of nearly 16% and a substantial reduction in other operating
expenses.
As
part of our financing plan, on September 28, 2023, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which
was declared effective on September 29, 2023, allowing the Company to issue up to $20,000,000 in shares of our common stock. Under this
registration statement, shares of our common stock may be sold from time to time for up to three years from the filing date. On May 10,
2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC, as part of this registration statement. This prospectus supplement was
intended to facilitate the sale of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through ATM offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities
Act. As part of this transaction, the Company incurred $81,000 in deferred offering costs during the year ended May 31, 2024. During
the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company sold 440,687 shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $3.06 to $8.32 pursuant to the
ATM Agreement, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $2,143,000 and net proceeds to the Company of $2,015,000, after deducting
commissions for each sale and legal, accounting, and other fees related to offering in the amount of $128,000.
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, sales and marketing
activities, clinical studies and product development, acquisitions of assets, businesses, companies, or securities, capital expenditures,
and working capital needs.
While
we are committed to these plans, there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful or sufficient to meet our capital requirements.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern. Our future viability depends on the
successful execution
of our strategic plans, securing additional financing, and achieving profitable operations.
Management has analyzed our cash flow requirements through August 2027 and beyond. Based on this analysis, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic growth objectives for the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
Prior to year-end, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement for CDMO services with initial target fees exceeding $1,750,000. Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed the Private Placement (as defined below) yielding approximately $2,230,000 in gross proceeds (see Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements). Management believes these transactions, combined with the Company’s other strategic initiatives, may address near-term capital needs; however, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s capital requirements.
To address our capital needs and sustain operations beyond the next year, we are actively pursuing strategies to increase sales, reduce expenses, sell non-core assets, seek additional financing through debt or equity, and seek other strategic alternatives. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing, we may be required to delay or reduce certain operating activities and expenditures.
As part of our financing plan, on September 28, 2023, we filed the Shelf Registration Statement allowing us to issue up to $20,000,000 in shares of our common stock. On May 10, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3. This prospectus supplement was intended to facilitate the sale of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through the 2024 ATM Offering.
During the year ended May 31, 2026, we sold 580,452 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $2.20 to $4.02 pursuant to the ATM Offering, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1,874,000 and net proceeds to us of $1,827,000 after deducting commissions, legal, and other offering costs totaling approximately $47,000.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, sales and marketing activities, clinical studies and product development, acquisitions of assets, businesses, companies, or securities, capital expenditures, and working capital needs.
In addition, on May 29, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell our investment in Diagnosis S.A. for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 in a related-party transaction involving our Chief Executive Officer and other purchasers. Pending completion of the applicable share transfers and required procedures under Polish law, the purchasers advanced the $500,000 purchase price to us in exchange for a secured promissory term note. The note bears interest at 8% per annum, matures twelve months from May 29, 2026, and is secured by our rights and interests in the Diagnosis S.A. shares. The arrangement is intended to facilitate the monetization of this non-core investment while the applicable share-transfer process is completed. The share transfer is expected to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to completion of the applicable procedures required under Polish law.
While we are committed to addressing our capital needs and sustaining operations beyond the next year, there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful or sufficient to meet our capital requirements.
During
the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was approximately $3,841,000 compared to $5,361,000 for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2024. The primary factors contributing to this were a loss of approximately $4,973,000, an increase in inventory reserves
of $4,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $209,000, a decrease in inventories of $882,000 and a non-cash expense of approximately
$944,000. These were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $467,000, and reduction in lease liabilities
of $326,000.
During
the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024,2026, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $5,361,000,$3,421,000, compared to $5,474,000$3,842,000 for the
fiscal fiscal
year ended May 31, 2023.2025, Therepresenting primaryan factors contributing to this were a lossimprovement of approximately $5,978,000,$421,000, or 11%. The improvement primarily reflected a
lower net loss in fiscal 2026, partially offset by less favorable working capital movements compared with the prior year. Cash used in
operating activities during fiscal 2026 included increases in inventories and accounts receivable of approximately $140,000 and $66,000,
respectively, a decrease in inventoryaccrued reserves

We
are a global biomedical technology company that develops, patents, manufactures and markets advanced diagnostic and therapeutic products.
Our diagnostic test kits are used to analyze blood, urine, nasal,nasal or fecal material from patients in the diagnosis of various diseases,
food intolerances,intolerances and other medical complications. They can also be used to measure or detect the presence and levels of specific bacteria,
hormones, antibodies, antigens and other substances, which may exist in the human body in extremely small concentrations. Our products
are designed to enhance thepatient health and well-being of people, while reducing total healthcare cost.costs.
Our
extensive range of medical diagnostic products is sold worldwide, primarily in two markets: clinical laboratories and point-of-care settings (physicians’ offices).settings.
Most of our products are ConformiteConformité EuropeenneEuropéenne (“CE”) marked and/or registered with regulatory agencies in
various various
countries for diagnostic use, with severalcertain alsoproducts clearedapproved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for sale
in the
United States.
Technological
advances in medical diagnostics have enabled diagnostic tests to be performed not only in clinical laboratories but also at home and
at the point-of-care in physicians’ offices. One of our key objectives has been to develop and market rapid diagnostic tests that
are accurate, utilize easily obtained patient specimens, and are simple to perform without the need for complex instrumentation. Our
home use (over-the-counter) and professional use (physicians’ office, clinics, etc.) rapid diagnostic test products help manage
existing medical conditions and may save lives through early detection and diagnosis of specific diseases. Traditionally, such tests
required the expertise of medical technologists and sophisticated equipment, with results often not available for days. We believe our
rapid point-of-care tests, when properly used, can often be as accurate as laboratory tests. Our products require limited to no instrumentation,
deliver reliable results in minutes, and can be performed with confidence at home or in a physician’s office.
We
invest resources in the research and development of new products designed to diagnose and, in some cases, treat several major medical
diseases. These products are either internally developed or licensed from others. Our experienced and highly trained technical personnel,
including Ph.D. holders and other scientists, are dedicated to developing new products and managing technology transfer activities. Our
technical staff, many of whom,whom have extensive experience from previous employment at large diagnostic manufacturing companies, bring a
a wealth of industry knowledge. Additionally, we rely on our Scientific Advisory Board, comprised of leading medical doctors and clinicians,
to advise onguide our clinical studies and product development efforts.
A
key outcome from our research and development efforts is our patented diagnostic-guided therapy (“DGT”) product,
developed on the inFoods® technology platform. This innovative technology is designed to aid in the management of
gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”) and other inflammatory diseases. The DGT productsproduct
targettargets chronic inflammatory illnesses that are widespread and prevalent in large markets. We have launched ourthe inFoods® IBS
product, which leverages this patented technology. The inFoods® IBS product utilizes a simple blood test to identify
patient-specific foods that, when eliminated from the diet, may help reduce IBS symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhea, cramping,
and constipation. Unlike broad and difficult to manage dietary restrictions, the inFoods® IBS product pinpoints a
patient’s heightened immunoreactivity to specific foods known to frequently trigger IBS symptoms. By removing the foods
identified as problematic, patients can achieve relief from IBS symptoms.
We
have introduced our inFoods® IBS product to select gastroenterology (“GI”) physician groups in multiple states and regions,
including in collaboration with one of the largest GI physician groups in the United States.regions. This initial phase was focused on gathering
real-world feedback, optimizing physician engagement, and validating operational processes. GI physician feedback has been generally
positive, and we are continuing to expand our network by onboarding additional physician practices.
Our
dedicated sales team is focused on building strong relationships within the GI segment while selectively exploring opportunities to
introduce
our inFoods® IBS products to other medical specialties, including integrated health practices and primary-care providers. These
efforts efforts
are intended to lay the groundwork for broader adoption by showcasing the distinct clinical value of inFoods® IBS across
multiple healthcare
channels.
We
are currently in the process of pursuing U.S. government payment or reimbursement for the inFoods® IBS product through the
Medicare Medicare
system. In connection with this process, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has established and announced a

are able
to access the inFoods® IBS product at reduced out of pocketout-of-pocket cost, we expect adoption and utilization to increase.
As
we continue to pursue commercial opportunities in both U.S. and international markets, we remain attentive to evolving global
economic conditions, including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics.dynamics, wars and
other political strife. Although
these factors have not hadimposed a materialmoderate impact on our operations to date, future changes in trade
regulations, tariff structures, or
logistical constraints could influence the cost, availability, or timing of materials and
components used in our manufacturing
processes. processes, and our ability to sell our finished products into international markets. We continue to monitor these developments closely and are actively implementing
contingency plans, including alternative
sourcing strategies and supplier diversification, to support supply chain continuity,
maintain operational efficiency, and help
mitigate potential future impacts. We are also focusing on alternative manufacturing and
shipping strategies of our products through
BioEurope GmbH, our European subsidiary, and Biomerica de Mexico, our Mexican
subsidiary, to mitigate some of the risk
these that tariffs and other policies may have on our revenues and operations.
In
addition, in December 2023 we received FDA clearance for hp+detect™, a diagnostic test designed to detect Helicobacter pylori
(“H.
pylori”) bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. H. pylori is a prevalent infection, affecting approximately 35% of the U.S. population
and 45% of the population in Europe’s largest countries. This bacterium is recognized as the highest known risk factor for gastric
cancer, which remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. The hp+detect™ test is marketed directly to
laboratories and is intended to provide physicians and medical centers with a reliable tool for diagnosing H. pylori infections and monitoring
treatment effectiveness. We are actively marketing hp+detect™ to large end-customer laboratories and positioning the product for

The decrease was primarily attributable to lower contract manufacturing revenue, reflecting the completion of a prior research and development project. Additional decreases were attributable to reduced retail market activity from international distributors, partially related to tariff impacts, as well as variability in clinical laboratory sales during the period. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for the inFoods® IBS product; however, such revenues remain in the early stages of commercialization and have only partially offset offset the decline in contract manufacturing and distributor-related sales.
For
the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated net sales reached approximately $2,590,000, compared to $3,444,000 for the same

The increase was primarily attributable to a $169,000 increase in regulatory and outside service costs, partially offset by a $99,000 decrease in sales commissions.
For
the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2,561,000,
compared to $2,533,000 for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of approximately $28,000, or 1%. The increase was primarily
attributable to a $114,000 increase in outside administrative services associated with tax credit advisory services provided for ERC,
a $66,000 increase in stock-based compensation within the sales and marketing organization related to a new hire during the current period,
compared to workforce reductions in the prior year period, and a $55,000 increase in credit loss expense under CECL related to aged receivables,
for which payment plans have been established. These increases were partially offset by an $88,000 decrease in sales commissions resulting
from reduced sales volumes in the Middle East market, a $73,000 decrease in salaries and wages within the sales and marketing team,
and a $51,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense within the administrative team.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2026, consolidated R&D expenses were approximately $583,000, representing a decrease of $188,000, or 24%, compared to $771,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $139,000 reduction in salaries and wages within the R&D team, reflecting reduced R&D activity during the current period. The reduction in R&D activity was driven by the completion of the hp+detect™ project and the transition of inFoods® IBS from development to commercialization, which also contributed to an approximately $40,000 decrease in related expenses. The reduction in R&D activity reflects the Company’s transition from development to commercialization of key products.
For
the six months ended November 30, 2025, consolidated R&D expenses totaled approximately $405,000, representing a decrease of $149,000,
or 27% from $554,000 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $106,000 reduction in R&D salaries
and wages, reflecting fewer labor hours allocated to R&D as the business progressed into later, commercialization focused development
phases, as well as a $36,000 decrease in R&D expenses related to inFoods® during the current period.

of NovemberFebruary 30,28, 20252026 and May 31, 2025, we had working capital of approximately $3,592,000$2,562,000 and $3,135,000, respectively. We have experienced variability in our revenue and a reduction in our cash position in recent periods, which has impacted our liquidity.
Management
has analyzed our cash flow requirements through NovemberApril 20262027 and beyond. Based on this analysis, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents
equivalents are insufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic growth objectives for the next twelve months.
To
address our capital needs and sustainsustaining operations beyond the next year, we are actively pursuing strategies to increase sales, reduce
expenses, sell non-core assets, seek additional financing through debt or equity, and seek other strategic alternatives.
During
the sixnine months ended NovemberFebruary 30,28, 2025,2026, we sold 391,125414,633 shares of itsour common stock at prices ranging from $3.34$2.42 to $4.02 pursuant to
to the 2024 ATM Offering, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1,432,000$1,495,000 and net proceeds to us of $1,395,000$1,455,000 after deducting
commissions for each sale and legal, accounting, and other fees related to offering in the amount of $37,000.$40,000.
While
we are committed to addressing our capital needs and sustainsustaining operations beyond the next year, there is no assurance that these efforts
will be successful or sufficient to meet our capital requirements. Our future viability depends on the successful execution of our strategic plans, securing additional financing, and
achieving profitable operations.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future viability depends on the successful execution
of our strategic plans, securing additional financing, and achieving profitable operations.

We
believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations,
in that they require subjective or complex judgments, form the basis for the accounting policies deemed to be most critical to us. These
relate to revenue recognition, badprovision debts,for expected credit losses, inventory overhead application, inventory reserves, lease liabilities
and right-of-use assets.
We believe estimates and assumptions related to these critical accounting policies are appropriate under the
circumstances; however,
should future events or occurrences result in unanticipated consequences, there could be a material impact on
our future financial conditions
or results of operations. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies
from those disclosed in our 2025
Annual Report. We suggest that our significant accounting policies be read in conjunction with this
Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Please refer to Note 2 for information on
Significant Accounting Policies.
