Our
iSpecimen Marketplace technology
consists of four major functional areas: data ingestion and harmonization, search, workflow management,
and administration,
compliance and reporting. Each of these functional areas need continual development to both enable our current business
to scale and
to enable us to enter new markets. As financial resources become available, our intention is to focus most of our engineering
resources on the development of the iSpecimen Marketplace platform for the foreseeable future. In fiscal year 2024,2025, we incurred $2,159,815

amount of time and
resources on the development of this platform, we cannot provide any assurances of our iSpecimen
Marketplace’s short or long-term
success or growth and there is no assurance that the resources being allocated for the
platform will be sufficient to complete planned
additional capabilities, or that such completion will result in significant revenues
or profit for us. If our customers or suppliers
do not perceive this platform to be of high value and quality, we may not be able to
retain them or acquire new customers or suppliers.
Our
contracts with our customers
generally allow them to reduce, delay, or cancel the unfulfilled portion of their specimen order with a
two-week notice. Customers may
reduce, delay, or cancel their unfulfilled orders due to a variety of reasons including they make changes
to project requirements and
the open request no longer meets their needs; their budgets change or projects get cancelled; they place
orders with multiple specimen
providers and cancel open orders when they have procured sufficient quantity of samples across all their
sources; or we are unable to

Throughout During
the yearsyear ended December
31, 20242025, andthe Company continued its efforts, which had begun in 2023, we have initiated efforts to decrease ourits capital and operational
expenditures by cutting costs and right sizing the
Company through reductionsa reduction in our workforce while streamlining operations and rationalizing our
resources to focus on key market opportunities.
As a result, we began to experience significant decreases in expenditures starting in the second half of 2023. The reductionsreduction in workforce
since January 1, 20232024 through the end of December 31, 20242025, has cumulatively
resulted in an estimated reduction in monthly compensation costs of approximately
146% 67% and technology costs of approximately 64%25% during
the year ended December 31, 20242025 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
We
completed the implementation of
a next day quote system in the third quarter of 2023 and we continue to see positive results in 2024,2024
and 2025, as evidenced by increased conversion
ratios of quotes to purchase orders of 41%.44%. Previously, it took an extended number of
days to complete a feasibility study in order to
provide a customer quote, which negatively impacted the time to convert a quote to a
purchase order.
While
we are committed to developing
our technology, we are investing at a significantly lower level in 20242025 when compared to 20232024 and prior
years, while we focus on growing
our revenues through key market opportunities and assessing our capital raise prospects. During
the years ended December 31, 2024
2025 and 2023,2024, we capitalized approximately $653,000$Nil and $3,767,000,$653,000, respectively, of internally developed
software costs and $1,000,000 and $Nil, respectively, of software costs.under development. These
investments have resulted in multiple
process improvements, streamlining workflows and providing deeper insights into orders for all users
of our marketplace.
We
have shifted our focus from high
volume to high value suppliers that meet our newly defined costs, quality and speed requirements. We
established business criteria that
focus on supplier capabilities and revenue growth strategies as well as technology criteria for integrating
onto our iSpecimen Marketplace
platform and participating with us. In the yearsyear ended December 31, 2024, we terminated 180 supplier agreements
and are in the final stages
of what we call our “supplier network refresh project”. This has resulted in fewer key suppliers,
supported by our lean workforce
and processes more effectively. We have been reengaging our suppliers in more meaningful manner which
assisted us in the implementation
of our next day quote system. We now have a key supplier program whereby we proactively engage with
the suppliers to promote our business
through marketing campaigns and supplier organizations’ offerings.

Our
operations are heavily reliant
on specimen availability, and as a result, we often receive more requests than we can fulfill. While the
Company is subject to these types
of supply chain constraints that are specific to the specimen industry, we have not been materially
affected by the more common supply
chain issues currently affecting the economy, specifically surrounding transportation. Due to the small size of the packages that we ship,
our carriers were able to continue making timely deliveries during the year ended December 31, 2024. However, there had been an increase
in our shipping costs period over period during the year ended December 31, 2024.
We
capitalize certain internal
and external costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software projects until
the software is ready for
its intended use. Amortization of the asset commences when the software is complete and placed into service
and is recorded in operating
expenses. We amortize completed internal-use software over its estimated useful life of five years on a
straight-line basis. Costs incurred
during the planning, training and post-implementation stages of the software development life cycle
are classified as technology and expensed
to operations as incurred. Costs that do not meet the capitalization criteria are expensed
as incurred. We performed an impairment analysis
of our internally developed software as of the measurement date of December 31, 2024
and concluded that a small portion the net book value
of the asset is not recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, such
portion were written off and reduced the net book value
estimates by $327,000.$1,871,000 (2024 - $327,000).

The Company’s
Company’s financial performance is subject to global economic conditions and their impact on levels of spending by our customer research
research organizations, particularly discretionary spending for procurement of specimens used for research. Economic recessions may have
adverse consequences across industries, including the health and biospecimen industries, which may adversely affect our business and
financial condition. We increaseddecreased our allowance for doubtful accounts in accounts receivablesreceivable by $369$11,275 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 due to
certain certain
customers that either lack liquidity or have filed for bankruptcy. We have enhanced procedures related to our credit check
process for new
and existing customers in the firstsecond quarter of 2026 to mitigate the risk to future collectability of
receivables.
Our
business was negatively
impacted during the first half of 2022 by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. At the start of the war,
we had approximately $1
million of purchase orders that were slated to be fulfilled by our supply network in Ukraine and Russia. This
supply network was shut
down at the start of the war. Ukrainian suppliers were disabled due to war conditions and evacuations and some
of our Russian suppliers
were disabled by sanctions. While we mobilized to shift these purchase orders to other suppliers in the network,
the process of specimen
collections from other supply sites took time, which caused a delay in the fulfillment of such purchase orders.
Alternate suppliers do
not have the same favorable unit economics or specimen collection rates, and this also impacted our margins. Additionally,
key resources
were diverted from operations to resolving the re-fulfillment issues caused by the conflict.
As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026,
our supply sites in Russia that had not been under sanctions were accessible and our supply sites in Ukraine were
mostly reopened. However,
logistics and transportation of specimens out of the country of Ukraine remains challenging and not as economically
feasible as they were
prior to the beginning of the war. Due to the uncertainty caused by the ongoing war, Ukrainian and Russian suppliers
may again become
inaccessible to us. Therefore, as long as the uncertainty continues, our policy is to ensure at a purchase order level
that an order is
not solely sourced from the two countries. The short and long-term implications of the war are difficult to predict
as of the date of
this Form 10-Q. The imposition of more sanctions and counter sanctions may have an adverse effect on the economic markets
generally and
could impact our business and the businesses of our supply partners, especially those in Ukraine and Russia. Because of
the highly uncertain
and dynamic nature of these events, it is not currently possible to estimate the impact of the war on our business
and the companies from
which we obtain supplies and distribute specimens.
During
the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026,
the Company continued its efforts, which had begun in 2023, to decrease its capital and operational
expenditures by cutting costs
and right sizingright-sizing the Company through a reduction in workforce while streamlining operations and rationalizing
resources to focus on
key market opportunities. The reductions in workforce since January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025, cumulatively
resulted in an
estimated reduction in monthly compensation costs of approximately 67% and technology costs of approximately 39% during
during the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. During the firstsecond quarter of 2026, the
reductions reductions
in workforce resulted in an estimated reduction in monthly compensation costs of approximately 70% and technology costs of approximately
36% during the three months ended March 31, 2026,17% when compared to the three
six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. Technology costs increased approximately 455% during the six months ended June 30, 2026 when
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of the development and improvement of the Company’s internally
developed software.
We
completed the implementation of a next day
quote system in the third quarter of 2023 and we continue to see positive results in 2024
and up to the firstsecond quarter of 2026, as evidenced
by increased conversion ratios of quotes to purchase orders of 44%.43%. Previously, it
took an extended number of days to complete a feasibility
study in order to provide a customer quote, which negatively impacted the time
to convert a quote to a purchase order.
While we are committed to developing our technology,
we are investing at a significantly lower level in 2025 when compared to 2024 and prior years, while we focus on growing our revenues
through key market opportunities and assessing our capital raise prospects. During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, we
we capitalized approximately $1,700,000 and $0, respectively, of internally developed software costs, of which $1,000,000 was reclassified
from software under development. These investments have resulted in multiple process improvements, streamlining workflows and providing
deeper insights into orders for all users of our marketplace.

payable and accrued expenses of approximately $5,351,000.$5,291,000. Our continued viability is dependent on the ability
to successfully obtain
additional working capital and/or ultimately attain profitable operations. During the threesix months ended March

ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of the development and improvement of the
Company’s internally developed software. While the Company plans to improve its
sales and revenues, the Company is taking steps
to significantly reduce and manage expenditures to improve its financial position and
ensure continued funding of operations.
However, as certain elements of the Company’s operating plan are not within the Company’s
control, the Company is unable

raising capital through
equity financing as discussed in Note 10.8.

commercially favorable terms. Our failure to generate
additional revenues or contain operating costs would have a negative impact on
our business, results of operations and financial condition
and our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not generate enough
revenue to provide an adequate level of working capital,
our business plan will be scaled down further.

The
application of critical
accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues
and expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other
market-specific or
other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and
assumptions on an
ongoing basis. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of
operations in the
period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant
management judgments
and estimates used in preparation of our unaudited condensed financial statements or are the most sensitive to change
from outside factors,
are discussed in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations”
contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There
have been no material changes
in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2026; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC. Based on the foregoing, the Company expects to cease to qualify as an emerging growth company on December 31, 2026, and should prepare for compliance with all applicable requirements for non-emerging growth companies beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2026.
