For instance, Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”), a global company which we had previously considered our primary competitor, spun off a portion of its syringe, needle, and injection product division as Embecta Corp. (“Embecta”) in April 2022. Though newly formed, Embecta licenses existing BD intellectual property and has continued to use the BD branding on its products and is provided with certain other services by BD. Embecta’s 20242025 annual report indicated that the company had 2,1001,850 employees, as compared to our workforce of 227201 employees. With resources greatly in excess of our own, we expect Embecta will be a formidable competitor.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on February 16, 2024, we initiated a voluntary recall on February 5, 2024 of our EasyPoint Needle lot number K220402 which was shipped within the U.S. between July 20, 2022 and September 20, 2023. The recall was due to the possible detachment of the needle cannula from the needle holder, which could result in serious injury. The possible defect increases our risk of liability in connection with those units. Since the initiation of the voluntary recall, all reasonable efforts have been made to remove EasyPoint Needle lot K220402 from the market in accordance with the recall strategy. We believe the recall is complete and we have requested termination of the voluntary recall from the FDA. The Medical Devices and Radiological Health Risk Mitigation and Response Branch has: confirmed our request for termination, notified us that the division is currently experiencing a severe backlog of termination requests which are being processed in the order they are received and informed us that once the termination process begins, they will follow up with us concerning any additional questions they may have.

On September 13, 2024, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) revealed final adjustments to increase tariffs on certain goods imported from China under Section 301 (“Section 301”) of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Trade Act”). Among those products included were syringes and needles, at a rate of 100%. Beginning in early 2025 and throughout much of the year, additional widespread tariffs were imposed on most products imported into the U.S. citing authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Those tariffs were in addition to the Section 301 tariffs which existed at the time. Throughout 2025, the prevailing tariff rates on various products and certain countries of origin, including many of our products, fluctuated greatly. These fluctuations negatively impacted our ability to predict the cost of importing certain goods or groups of goods and negatively impacted our business. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the President’s use of IEEPA to impose reciprocal tariffs exceeded his authority and that the IEEPA tariffs must be vacated. Looking forward after the Supreme Court’s ruling, the 2024 Section 301 tariff of 100% on syringes and needles from China remains unchanged. Additionally, following the Supreme Court’s ruling on the tariffs imposed under IEEPA, effective February 20, 2026 a 10% ad valorem duty went into effect under Section 122 of the Trade Act, which is in addition to the above-mentioned Section 301 tariffs.

Added

As of March 9, 2026, the prevailing tariff rate on most syringe and needle products imported from China was 120%. Other products we import from China, which do not fall under the category of needles and syringes, are subject to a 20% tariff rate. As foreign trade policy continues to evolve, including the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling, uncertainty as to future tariff rates and affected products remains. Tariffs are expected to have a continuing material impact on our ability to source finished goods and certain raw materials and component parts, and to our results of operations and financial position. We continue working to lessen the financial impact of the tariffs through strategic ordering of products from our Chinese suppliers and shifting a larger portion of manufacturing of 1mL, 3mL, and EasyPoint® needles to our domestic manufacturing facility.

Recent additions of manufacturing equipment and facilities under the 2020 TIA have increased our production capacity and our overhead costs. Under the TIA and its successor agreement, until June 30, 2030 we must continue to abide by ongoing terms which include maintenance of equipment, availability of capacity, and USU.S. government preference in the event of a public health emergency.

Reworded

Over the past several years, we have experienced certain cost increases in raw materials. Those costs primarily affected our domestic manufacturing because the finished goods we purchased from China (being 83.9% of our products in 2024) were subject to a long-term fixed price contract. Sensitivity to cost fluctuations mayis likely to become more pronounced as we transition away from production under such a fixed price contract. Other factors that could affect our unit costs include tariffs, supplier cost increases, increases in workforce costs associated with increased domestic production, and changing production volumes. Increases in costs may not be recoverable through price increases of our products.

Historically, unit sales have increased during the flu season. From 2020-2022, seasonal effects of the flu season on our revenues were less impactful due to the dramatic increase in sales attributable to COVID-19 vaccinations.

A material portion of our net losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 is comprised of the approximately $8.4 million change in valuation allowance which occurred in the second quarter of 2024 on the deferred tax asset which is included as a provision for income taxes on the Condensed Statements of Operations. The devaluation of the deferred tax asset was related to our determination that, based on current information, it was more likely than not that we wouldn’t be in a position to use loss carryforwards against future taxable net income based on a variety of factors and accounting guidelines. The announced implementation of tariffs on imported syringes from China was one of the factors considered in this determination.

In reaction to the tariffs, we have acted to increase our domestic production and reduce, to the extent possible, our reliance on imports. While we believe these efforts will enable us to avoid some of the impact of the tariffs, we will be forced to import the products we are unable to produce in the U.S. The decline in units sold in 2024 has also had a negative impact on our margins. As we work to increase our domestic production and achieve manufacturing efficiencies, we expect to incur higher manufacturing costs in the near term but will continue to work to minimize our reliance on imported products.

We believe we will have adequate means to meet our short-term needs to fund operations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the financial statements. Besides cash reserves and expected income from operations,reserves, we also have access to our investments which may be liquidated in the event that we need to access the funds for operations. Expected short-term uses of cash include payroll and benefits, royalty expense, inventory purchases, tariffs, contractual obligations, payment of income taxes, quarterly preferred stock dividends, and other operational priorities. Our year-end liabilities are detailed in our financial statements, including Notes 77, 8 and 89 to the financial statements. We believe we will have adequate means to meet our currently foreseeable long-term liquidity needs, although the new tariffs and our costs related to an increase in domestic manufacturing will increase our expenses materially. For the next 1-3 years, we believe our liquidity will decline materially, but we expect that we may be able to satisfy our long-term cash requirements using a combination of cash and liquidation of our equity investments. If cash needs cannot be met using existing cash and investments, management would reduce operational costs.costs, similar to reductions in administrative support in the second quarter of 2025. In the event that the foregoing is insufficient, we may liquidate certain assets.

Added

As of December 31, 2025, there were no commitments for material capital expenditures.

Removed

We expect to spend approximately $1 million over the next few months using existing cash reserves to convert a portion of our domestic equipment to align to our plan to produce more units at our U.S. facility. While additional equipment expenditures may be necessary in the future, this near-term equipment conversion is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2025.

Reworded

We are responsible for developing estimates for amounts reported as assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Those estimates require that we develop assumptions of future events based on past experience and expectations of economic factors. Among the more critical estimates management makes is the estimate for customer rebates. The amount reported as a contractual allowance for rebates involves examination of past historical trends related to our sales to distributors and the related credits issued once our distributors have satisfied their contractual obligations. The estimate includes consideration of historical redemption rates, discount rates, and a combination of estimated distributor inventories based on tracking information provided by the distributors or if known, inventory turnover rates. The establishment of a liability for future claims of rebates against sales in the current period requires that we have an understanding of the relevant sales with respect to product categories, sales distribution channels, and the likelihood of contractual obligations being satisfied. We examine the results of estimates against actual results historically and use the determination to further develop our basis for assumptions in future periods, as well as the accuracy of past estimates. Based on distributors’ purchasing and claiming rebates practices, we do not expect significant changes to the current inputs and assumption used in the estimate calculations. While we believe that we have sufficient historical data, and a firm basis for establishing reserves for contractual obligations, there is an inherent risk that our estimates and the underlying assumptions may not reflect actual future results. In the event that these estimates and/or assumptions are incorrect, adjustments to our reserves may have a material impact on future results. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we estimate that the total potential future credits to be issued as a result of prior purchases which have not yet been claimed is $2.1$2.4 million.

On September 13, 2024, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) revealed final adjustments to increase tariffs on certain goods imported from China under Section 301 (“Section 301”) of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Trade Act”). Among those products included were syringes and needles, at a rate of 100%. Throughout much of 2025, additional widespread tariffs were imposed on most products imported into the U.S. citing authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Those tariffs were in addition to the Section 301 tariffs which existed at the time. The prevailing tariff rates on various products and certain countries of origin, including many of our products, fluctuated greatly during 2025. These fluctuations negatively impacted our ability to predict the cost of importing certain goods or groups of goods and negatively impacted our business. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the President’s use of IEEPA to impose reciprocal tariffs exceeded his authority and that the IEEPA tariffs must be vacated. The 2024 Section 301 tariff of 100% on syringes and needles from China remains unchanged. Effective February 20, 2026, a 10% ad valorem duty went into effect under Section 122 of the Trade Act. ThisEffective July 24, 2026, the 10% duty has been replaced with a new Section 301 tariff of 12.5%. The newly announced 12.5% tariff is in addition to the above-mentioned 100% Section 301 tariffs.

We expect international sales of VanishPoint syringes and EasyPoint needles to increase in the second half of 2026 following the recent certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 which is required for the sale of medical devices within the European Union. We are currently in the process of implementing the inclusion of the certification on our packaging and operational documents.

Reworded

As of MayAugust 1, 2026, the prevailing tariff rate on most syringe and needle products imported from China was 110%.112.5%. Other products we import from China, which do not fall under the category of needles and syringes, are subject to a 10%12.5% tariff rate. As foreign trade policy continues to evolve, including the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling, uncertainty as to future tariff rates and affected products remains. Tariffs aremay expectedcontinue to have a continuing material impact on our ability to source finished goods and certain raw materials and component parts, and to our results of operations and financial position. We continue working to lessen the financial impact of the tariffs through strategic ordering of products from our Chinese suppliers and continuing to manufacture 1mL, 3mL, and EasyPoint® needles in our domestic manufacturing facility.

Reworded

During 2024 and 2025, certain tariffs were incorrectly assessed on a portion of our imported finished goods. During 2025, we filed claims with U.S. Customs and Border Protection seeking corrections of those tariff assessments. During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we received approximately $137$329 thousand in tariff refunds related to these claims. In addition, we received approximately $467$1.3 thousand,million, including interest, in tariff refunds that were processed incorrectly and are subject to potential repayment.repayment in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Accordingly, these amounts have been recorded as a liability within other accrued liabilities on our condensed balance sheets. None of the foregoing tariff refunds relate to the IEEPA tariffs or the 10% ad valorem duty imposed in 2026.

In 2020 and 2021, we were awarded significant orders and contracts by the U.S. government for safety syringes for COVID-19 vaccination efforts. From 2020 through the first quarter of 2022, the U.S. government was a significant customer. We cannot predict whether any future U.S. government orders may occur.

In the first quarterhalf of 2026, we made payments to certain consultants in the approximate total amount of $300$423 thousand and charitable product donations in the approximate total amount of $593$959 thousand. Such costs increased our operating expenses and are non-recurring. The charitable product donations were related to certain overstock inventory items. These products were not included in our first quarter 2026 inventory write down, as the items were not within 12 months of expiration. We continue to monitor market demand for these products and currently believe there remain potential sales channels available prior to the products reaching the 12 month expiration threshold.

As detailed in Note 4 to the financial statements, we held $32.8$37.2 million in debt and equity securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, which represented 23.9%26.3% of our total assets. The unrealized gain on debt and equity securities was $192$13 thousand due to the increased market values of those securities. The realized gain from the sale of equity was $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2026.

Historically, unit sales have increased during the flu season. Additionally, there may be more demand for EasyPoint® products during the flu season, particularly in the retail pharmacy market. Purchases from our retail pharmacy customers may differ from purchasing patterns of general line distributors. While the majority of flu season sales typically occur in the third quarter, in 2025, purchasing patterns differed with unusually high unit sales related to flu season products in the second quarter of 2025, impacting comparability to second quarter 2026 unit sales related to flu season products which follows a more traditional purchasing pattern.
