ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Our procedures have been designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, our Company is continuing to grow and evolve. The volume of our product sales continues to grow, increasing strain on our accounting systems. And our operations do not yet generate enough cash to fund operations, and thus we rely on financing activities to maintain our level of operations and fund our anticipated growth. In combination, these activities put stress on our overall controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness identified below.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Management ’ s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, we have established internal control procedures in accordance with the guidelines established in the 2013 Framework —Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls, and concluded that due to our limited financial and personnel resources, and the fact that we operate our business in three distinct locations in the U.S. and Canada, we continue to have a material weakness in our internal controls with respect to the closing our financial statements. Until the Company has the financial resources to implement more robust automated systems, or to hire additional dedicated accounting personnel, we expect this material weakness to continue. In reaching this conclusion, management considered that despite this weakness, and others identified in past years, the company has not identified material misstatements in prior financial statements and believes that the material weakness identified herein is not likely to lead to a material misstatement in the financial statements contained within this report.
Management has concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting are not effective. Management identified a material weakness with respect to deficiencies in its financial closing and reporting procedures. Management believes this is due to a lack of resources. Management intends to add accounting personnel and operating staff and more sophisticated systems in order to improve its reporting procedures and internal controls, subject to available capital. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. While management has recognized the material weakness, nothing additionally has changed in internal controls over financial reporting in the fourth quarter or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting, or any system we design or implement in the future, will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2025, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
BioLargo, Inc.
Westminster, California:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BioLargo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative cash flow from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Fair Value of Stock Options and Warrants - Critical Audit Matter Description
As more fully described in Notes 2, 5 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company issues options from both BioLargo, Inc. as well as its partially-owned subsidiary, Clyra Medical. Management uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model involves the use of significant estimates, including the following:
-
Risk-free interest rate;
-
Expected stock price volatility;
-
Expected dividend yield; and
-
Expected life of the award.
In addition, management discounts the estimated fair value of the Clyra Medical stock options because the partially-owned subsidiary is a private company with no secondary market for its common stock. Given the significant estimates involved in estimating the fair value of stock options and warrants, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s estimates in determining the fair value of stock options and warrants was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
We obtained an understanding over the Company's process to estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants, including how the Company develops each of the estimates required to utilize the Black-Scholes option- pricing model. We applied the following audit procedures related to testing the Company's estimates utilized in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
-
We compared the Company's risk-free interest rate used to the comparable United States Treasury yield for a term comparable to the stock options' and warrants' expected term.
-
We recalculated the Company's historical stock price volatility for a term comparable to the stock options' and warrants' expected term. For Clyra Medical, we recalculated a comparable public company's historical share price volatility for a term comparable to the stock options' and warrants' expected term.
-
We performed a look-back at the Company's previously issued dividends, noting there were none. We inquired with management of the Company who informed us that no future dividends were currently anticipated.
-
We agreed the expected term of stock options and warrants granted to employees and nonemployees to the original contractual term of the option as management deems it likely they will remain outstanding for the entire original term. We further noted that this was consistent with historical options granted.
In addition, we reviewed management's analysis over the fair value of the common stock price and discount that was used on the estimated fair value of the Clyra Medical stock options and warrants. We noted that Clyra Medical is a private company and therefore its common stock is not actively traded. We reviewed both the common stock and preferred stock sales history of Clyra Medical, noting the last sales prices. Management concluded that both the illiquidity and lack of marketability warranted a discount to the estimated fair value calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. From our review of the common stock sales history of Clyra Medical, we noted that the infrequent common stock sales support management's assertions of both illiquidity and lack of marketability. We further researched published articles on valuation discounts and noted that the liquidity and lack of marketability discount used by management was within a reasonable range.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 . Business and Organization
Description of Business
BioLargo, Inc. (“BioLargo”, or the “Company”) invents, develops, and commercializes innovative platform technologies to solve challenging environmental problems like PFAS contamination (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), advanced water and wastewater treatment, industrial odor control, air quality control, infection control, and myriad environmental remediation challenges. Our business strategy is straightforward: we invent or acquire technologies that we believe have the potential to be disruptive in large commercial markets; we develop and validate these technologies to advance and promote their commercial success as we leverage our considerable scientific, engineering, and entrepreneurial talent; we then monetize these technical assets through a variety of business structures that may include licensure, joint venture, sale, spin off, or by deploying direct to market strategies.
Liquidity / Going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. During the year ended December 31, 2025 , we generated revenues of $ 7,765,000 , had a net loss of $ 15,189,000 , and used $ 8,297,000 cash in operations. At December 31, 2025 , we had working capital of $ 51,000 , and current assets of $ 5,114,000 . We do not believe gross profits in the year ending December 31, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our current level of operations. We have been, and anticipate that we will continue to be, limited in terms of our capital resources. As of December 31, 2025 , our cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 3,883,000 , and our total liabilities included $ 2,079,000 debt, of which $ 1,814,000 was owed by Clyra Medical and of that amount, $ 1,395,000 is due within one year. Therefore, we intend to continue to raise investment capital through the sale of our securities and the securities of our subsidiaries. To meet our cash obligations during the year-ended December 31, 2025 , we (i) sold $ 2,122,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) (see Note 3 ), (ii) sold $ 215,000 of our common stock and warrants to accredited investors (see Note 3 and Note 6 ), (iii) sold $ 2,339,000 , of Clyra Medical common stock and sold $ 2,145,000 Clyra Medical Series B Preferred stock (see Note 10 ), and (iv) sold $ 425,000 of BETI common stock (see Note 9 ). To reduce our operational cash burdens, we regularly issue officers and vendors stock or options in lieu of cash and anticipate that we will continue to be able to do so in the future.
Since January 1, 2026, through March 4, 2026 ( see Note 16, Subsequent Events ), Clyra Medical has received $ 1,705,000 and issued three -year promissory notes in that amount, BETI has sold $ 462,000 of its common stock, and BioLargo Inc. sold $ 170,704 of common stock to Lincoln Park (prior to the February 1, 2026 expiration of our Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park).
The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, unless we are able to continue to rely on an institutional equity line such as our arrangement with Lincoln Park or other private financings, and in the long term, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating our technologies. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Organization
We are a Delaware corporation formed in 1991. We have five wholly-owned subsidiaries: BioLargo Life Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2006; ONM Environmental, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2009; BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2022; BioLargo Canada, Inc., organized under the laws of Canada in 2014; and BioLargo Development Corp., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2016. Additionally, we own 95 % (see Note 9 ) of BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. ("BETI") organized under the laws of the State of California in 2019, 48 % (see Note 10 ) of Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra” or “Clyra Medical”), organized under the laws of the State of California in 2012 and redomiciled to Delaware in 2023, and 70 % (see Note 11 ) of BioLargo Engineering Science & Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”), organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee in 2017. We consolidate the financial statements of our partially owned subsidiaries (see Note 2 , subheading “Principles of Consolidation”).
Note 2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and partially-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency
The Company has designated the functional currency of BioLargo Canada to be the Canadian dollar. Therefore, translation gains and losses resulting from differences in exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Substantially all cash equivalents are held in short-term money market accounts at one of the largest financial institutions in the United States (“U.S.”). From time to time, our cash account balances are greater than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000 per owner per bank, and during such times, we are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the financial institution. We do not anticipate non-performance by our financial institution.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations that are unconditional. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses for expected credit losses, which represents an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, provides an allowance for expected credit losses. A credit loss expense for expected credit losses is recorded based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment, and the Company’s historical experience. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues collection of the receivable. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the allowance for expected credit losses related to accounts receivable was $ 700,000 and $ 97,000 , respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its note and accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible This estimate is adjusted for management's assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the customer is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in operations or an offset to note and credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity's accounting policy election.
On June 6, 2025, ONM Environmental entered into an amendment to the June 2021 Preferred Master Manufacturing Agreement with Ikigai Holdings, LLC and Pooph Inc. to allow Pooph Inc. to pay past due amounts of $1,378,141 in royalties and $ 2,385,468 on product invoices through a weekly payment plan bearing 10 % interest and maturing July 3, 2026 ( the “PMMA Amendment”). This amount was recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025, as a note receivable. The PMMA Amendment also modified payment and invoicing terms on existing and future product purchase orders, and allowed ONM Environmental to withhold product if the payment terms were not met. On August 5, 2025, Pooph Inc. delivered a royalty report due for the second quarter of 2025, but did not pay the $ 463,520 in royalties due. On August 15, 2025, it failed to make the weekly payment required pursuant to the PMMA Amendment, and has not made a payment since. On September 19, 2025, Pooph Inc. disclosed that it had been working independently on developing a new formula for Pooph-branded products to replace BioLargo's formula, and that it was terminating the Preferred Master Manufacturing Agreement, citing ONM's refusal to deliver products. On September 24, 2025, BioLargo and ONM delivered notice to Pooph that its license grant was immediately revoked due to Pooph’s failure to pay royalties, and that it was terminating the License Agreement in its entirety with 150 days’ notice. The notice further advised that Pooph is not allowed to market or sell products that incorporate, use, or are based on, in whole or in part, BioLargo’s patents and proprietary information, including but not limited to know-how, disclosed to Pooph, and that absent reinstatement of the grant of license, Pooph must immediately stop marketing and selling any such products in its possession, custody or control (or sold through market portals or platforms such as Amazon). On November 11, 2025, BioLargo Inc. and ONM Environmental filed a lawsuit against Pooph Inc. and Ikigai Marketing Works LLC (successor entity to Ikigai Holdings LLC) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in part to recover the amounts due for product purchases and royalties. (See Note 14 , "Legal Proceedings".)
During the year ended December 31, 2025, BioLargo management determined that the note receivable and accounts receivable owed by Pooph Inc. were fully impaired, resulting in a $ 3,886,000 credit loss expense recorded on our consolidated statement of operations, which reduced operating income and current assets by that amount. There were no write-offs of accounts receivable during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. During 2025 the Company had a $ 3,764,000 write off of a note receivable.
Credit Concentration
We have a limited number of customers that account for significant portions of our revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 there was one customer that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues, as follows:

Equity Method of Accounting
On March 20, 2020 , we invested $ 100,000 into a South Korean entity (Odin Co. Ltd., “Odin”) pursuant to a Joint Venture agreement we had entered into with BKT Co. Ltd. and its U.S. based subsidiary, Tomorrow Water. We received a 40 % non-dilutive equity interest, and BKT and Tomorrow Water each received 30 % equity interests for an aggregate $ 150,000 investment.
We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. We have determined that while we have significant influence over the joint venture through our technology license and our position on the Board of Directors, we do not control the joint venture or are otherwise involved in managing the entity and we own less than a majority of the equity. Therefore, we record the asset on our consolidated balance sheets and record an increase or decrease the recorded balance by our percentage ownership of the profits or losses in the joint venture. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the joint venture incurred a loss and our 40 % ownership share was determined by management to be impaired and we reduced our investment interest by $ 14,000 and $ 5,000 , respectively, such that as of December 31, 2025, it is completely written off.
Impairment
Long-lived and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured based on the fair value of the asset. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results.
Loss Per Share
We report basic and diluted loss per share (“LPS”) for common and common share equivalents. Basic LPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted LPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the denominator in the diluted LPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic LPS due to the Company’s net loss which creates an anti-dilutive effect of the warrants and stock options. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of diluted LPS attributable to common stockholders because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):

Warrants
31,244,078 31,615,616
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, debt transactions, allowance for credit losses, asset depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, among others. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results of our consolidated financial statements.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award, which is the vesting period. Fair value is determined on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For stock and stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees for services, the Company measures and records an expense as of the earlier of the date at which either: a commitment for performance by the non-employee has been reached or the non-employee’s performance is complete. The equity instruments are measured at the current fair value, and for stock options, the instruments are measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
The following methodology and assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 :

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Expected price volatility is the measure by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of an option. Expected volatility is derived from the historical daily change in the market price of our common stock, as we believe that historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes option pricing model calculation is based on the prevailing U.S. Treasury yield as determined by the U.S. Federal Reserve. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Warrants
Warrants issued with our convertible and non-convertible debt instruments are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method. The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not . If the warrant is determined to be a derivative and not qualify for equity treatment, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing model and recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”). If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note. Convertible debt instruments are recorded at fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant. The warrant relative fair values are also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory notes. As present, these equity features of the convertible promissory notes have recorded a discount to the convertible notes that is substantially equal to the proceeds received.
Non-Cash Transactions
We have established a policy relative to the methodology to determine the value assigned to each intangible we acquire, and/or services or products received for non-cash consideration of our common stock. The value is based on the market price of our common stock issued as consideration, at the date of the agreement of each transaction or when the service is rendered, or product is received.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 , “Revenue from Contacts with Customers”. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company’s products are sold through a contract with the customer and a written purchase order, in which the details of the contract are defined including the transaction price and method of shipment. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product, and each product has separate pricing. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the goods are shipped if the agreement is FOB manufacturer, and when goods are delivered if FOB destination. Revenue is recognized with a reduction for sales discounts, as appropriate and negotiated in the customer’s purchase order.
Service contracts are performed through a written contract, which specifies the performance obligations and the rate at which the services will be billed, typically by time and materials. Each service is separately negotiated and priced. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and completed, or, for services related to product installations, at the completion of the installation. A few contracts have called for milestone or fixed cost payments, where we invoice an agreed-to amount per month for the life of the contract. In these instances, completed work, billed hourly, is recognized as revenue. If the billing amount is greater or lesser than the completed work, a receivable or payable is created. These accounts are adjusted upon additional billings as the work is completed. To date, there have been no discounts or other financing terms for the contracts.
The Company has outstanding contract liability obligations of $ 280,000 and $ 0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. The outstanding balance will be recognized per the terms of the contracts. BioLargo Water, our Canadian subsidiary, had a customer deposit outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024 , totaling $ 80,000 and $ 76,000 , that was awarded as part of a grant for a particular project that has been delayed. ONM Environmental had a customer deposit outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024 , totaling $ 109,000 and $ 14,000 , related to customer purchase orders not yet fulfilled.
As we generate revenues from royalties or license fees from our intellectual property, a licensee will pay a license fee in one or more installments and ongoing royalties based on their sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual property. We have entered into a licensing agreement for the CupriDyne Clean product, and we recognize royalty and license fees on a quarterly basis as the product is sold through to third parties and reported to us.
Government Grants
We have been awarded multiple research grants from the private and public Canadian research programs. Income we receive directly from grants is recorded as other income. We have been awarded over 90 grants since our first in 2 015 . Some of the funds from these grants are given directly to third parties (such as the University of Alberta or a third -party research scientist) to support research on our technology. The grants have terms generally ranging between six and eighteen months and support a majority, but not all, of the related research budget costs. This cooperative research allows us to utilize (i) a depth of resources and talent to accomplish highly skilled work, (ii) financial aid to support research and development costs, (iii) independent and credible validation of our technical claims.
The grants typically provide for (i) recurring monthly amounts, (ii) reimbursement of costs for research talent for which we invoice to request payment, and (iii) ancillary cost reimbursement for research talent travel related costs. All awarded grants have specific requirements on how the money is spent, typically to employ researchers. None of the funds may be used for general administrative expenses or overhead in the United States. These grants have substantially increased our level of research and development activities in Canada. We continue to apply for Canadian government and agency grants to fund research and development activities. Not all of our grant applications have been awarded, and no assurance can be made that any pending grant application, or any future grant applications, will be awarded.

Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the year that includes the enactment date.
We account for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than- not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than- not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. Management believes there are no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 .
The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of December 31, 2025 . Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and line of credit. The carrying amount of debt instruments are believed to approximate fair value as the stated interest rates are reflective of the prevailing market rates.
Tax Credits
Our research and development activities in Canada may entitle our Canadian subsidiary to claim benefits under the “Scientific Research and Experimental Development Program”, a Canadian federal tax incentive program designed to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Canada. Benefits under the program include credits to taxable income. If our Canadian subsidiary does not have taxable income in a reporting period, we will not receive tax refund from the Canadian Revenue Authority.
Leases
At inception of a lease contract, we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: ( 1 ) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, ( 2 ) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract, and ( 3 ) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset during such time period. At inception of a lease, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease must be classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria. We have one lease classified as finance leases. For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, management estimates the incremental borrowing rate, which currently is estimated to be 18 %. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early. Lease components are included in the measurement of the initial lease liability. Additional payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the operating lease right-of-use assets totaled $ 1,028,000 , and $ 992,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the operating lease liability totaled $ 1,074,000 and $ 1,027,000 , respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets related to our leases. The finance lease is related to Clyra Medical. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the finance lease right-of-use asset for Clyra Medical totaled $ 338,000 and $ 451,000 , and the finance lease liability totaled $ 360,000 and $ 448,000 (see Note 10 ).
Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 - 10 years. Additions, renewals, and betterments that significantly extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in operations for the year. Equipment and leasehold improvements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Noncontrolling Interest
A noncontrolling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity on a consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income (loss) is modified to present the income (loss) attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. The noncontrolling interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represents equity not held by the Company. In accordance with ASC 810 - 10 - 20, “Noncontrolling Interests” BioLargo consolidates three non-wholly owned subsidiaries - Clyra, BLEST and BETI. Noncontrolling interest of Clyra represents 52 % and 47 % as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 . Noncontrolling interest of BLEST represents 30 % and 26 % as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. Noncontrolling interest of BETI represents 5 % and 4 %as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 .

As the sole compensation for the 2025 - 26 Term, Mr. Dargan was issued an option (“Option”) to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Option vests over the period of the extended term in monthly installments of 25,000 shares, so long as the agreement is in full force and effect. The Option is exercisable at $ 0.2536 per share, the closing price of BioLargo’s common stock on the last trading day of January 2025, expires ten years from the grant date, and was issued pursuant to the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.
On August 13, 2024, we and our Chief Financial Officer Charles K.

The Engagement Extension Agreement dated as August 13, 2024 ( the “Engagement Extension Agreement”) expires January 31, 2025 ( the “Extended Term”), at which time the agreement will automatically renew for subsequent one -year periods. As the sole compensation for the Extended Term, Mr. Dargan was issued an option (“Option”) to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (this issuance is included in the total identified in (iv) above). The Option vested over the period of the Extended Term in monthly installments of 25,000 shares, so long as the agreement was in full force and effect.

All other provisions of the Engagement Agreement not expressly amended pursuant to the Engagement Extension Agreement remained the same, including provisions regarding indemnification and arbitration of disputes. Upon each renewal of the agreement, Mr. Dargan will be issued an option to purchase 300,000 shares, at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the prior business day, vesting over one year.
2018 Equity Incentive Plan
On June 22, 2018 , the BioLargo 2018 Equity Incentive Plan ( “2018 Plan”) was adopted as a means of providing our directors, key employees and consultants additional incentive to provide services.

Fair Value – Warrants
To determine interest expense related to our outstanding warrants issued in conjunction with debt offerings, the fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the relative fair values are amortized over the life of the warrant. For the determination of expense of warrants issued for services, extinguishment of debt and settlement management also uses the option-pricing model. The principal assumptions we used in applying this model were as follows:
2025
2024
Risk free interest rate
3.67 - 3.73 % 4.15 - 5.38 %
Expected volatility
72 - 73 % 64 - 87 %
Expected dividend yield
— —
Forfeiture rate
— —
Expected life in years
.5 - 5 .5 - 5
The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life in years is based on the contract term of the warrant.

Note 8 . Provision for Income Taxes
Given our historical losses from operations, income tax obligations have been limited to the minimum franchise tax assessed by the State of California. Since 2016 , we have not consolidated for tax purposes with our subsidiary Clyra Medical, as our ownership interest was less than 80% . Our subsidiary BLEST is a Tennessee limited liability company and as a pass-through entity does not pay federal taxes. However, the state of Tennessee charges franchise and excise taxes for limited liability companies, and thus BLEST will incur a nominal franchise tax and will not pay an excise tax unless and until it is profitable.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.

Clyra sold stock for cash in a unit offering and as part of the unit offering issued warrants to purchase 205,670 shares of its common stock at $ 7.50 per share, expiring February 28, 2027, or August 1, 2027.
Because Clyra is a private company with no secondary market for its common stock, the resulting fair value was discounted by 30 %. For the year-ended December 31, 2025, we used a risk-free rate ranging between 3.48 % - 4.45 %, compared to the year-ended December 31, 2024, we used a risk-free rate ranging between 3.95 % - 4.34 % , a volatility of 21 % - 49 % and an expected lives of .5 - 5 years.
Sale and leaseback of equipment
On December 4, 2024, Clyra entered into an agreement whereby it sold and leased back certain equipment to be used in the manufacturing of its wound irrigation solution. Clyra received $ 350,000 cash and a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 82,000 which bears interest at 15 %, requires interest be paid monthly, and the principal balance due on December 4, 2028. The obligations of the Note are secured by the equipment pursuant to a security agreement. At the end of the lease term, Clyra has the option to purchase the equipment for $ 82,000 . Concurrently, Clyra leased the equipment for a 49 -month term. The remaining lease payments total $ 450,000 .

Note 11 . Noncontrolling Interest – BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC
In September 2017 , we commenced a full-service environmental engineering firm and formed a Tennessee entity named BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”). In conjunction with the start of this subsidiary, we entered into a three -year office lease in the Knoxville, Tennessee area, and entered into employment agreements with six scientists and engineers. (See Note 12 “Business Segment Information”.) BLEST was capitalized with two classes of membership units: Class A, 100 % owned by BioLargo, and Class B, held by management of BLEST, and which initially have no “profit interest,” as that term is defined in Tennessee law. However, over the succeeding five years, the Class B members can earn up to a 30 % profit interest. They also have been granted options to purchase up to an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of BioLargo, Inc. common stock. The profit interest and option shares are subject to a five year vesting schedule tied to the performance of the subsidiary, including gross revenue targets that increase over time, obtaining positive cash flow by March 31, 2018 ( which was not met), collecting 90 % of its account receivables, obtaining a profit of 10 % in its first year (and increasing in subsequent years), making progress in the scale-up and commercialization of our AOS system, and using BioLargo research scientists (such as our Canadian team) for billable work on client projects. These criteria are to be evaluated annually by BLEST’s compensation committee (which includes BioLargo’s president, CFO, and BLEST’s president), beginning September 2018 . Given the significant performance criteria, the Class B units and the stock options will only be recognized in compensation expense if or when the criteria are satisfied.
The BLEST Compensation Committee has met regularly since the subsidiary commenced operations. In December 2025 , the committee determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met and issued additional profit interests would be vested ( 30 % in the aggregate) and vested additional option interests ( 1,750,000 option shares in the aggregate). In December 2024 , the committee determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met and issued additional profit interests would be vested ( 26.25 % in the aggregate) and vested additional option interests. The vesting of option shares during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 resulted in a fair value totaling $ 55,000 each year and is recorded on our consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expense .
Note 12 . Business Segment Information
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , BioLargo had six operating business segments, plus its corporate entity which is responsible for general corporate operations, including administrative functions, finance, human resources, marketing, legal, etc. The six operational business segments are:
1.
ONM Environmental -- which sells odor and volatile organic control products and services, located in Westminster, California;
2.
BLEST - which provides professional engineering services on a time and materials basis for outside clients and supports our internal operations as needed., located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee;
3.
Clyra Medical Technologies (“Clyra Medical”) -- which develops and sells medical products based on our technologies;
4.
BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. ("BETI") - which is developing our proprietary battery technology;
5. BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies ("BEST") - which sells our water treatment equipment; and
6. BioLargo Canada - the main hub of our scientists researching and developing our technologies, located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
Other than ONM Environmental, none of our operating business units have operated at a profit, and therefore each required additional cash to meet its monthly expenses, funded through sales of debt or equity, research grants, and tax credits. Clyra Medical and BETI have been funded by third party investors who invest directly in in these entities in exchange for equity ownership in that entity.

Note 13 . Leases
We have long-term operating leases for office, industrial and laboratory space in Westminster, California, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Alberta, Canada. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating lease agreement. Short-term leases less than one -year are not included in our analysis. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , rental expense was $ 404,000 and $ 365,000 , respectively. The lease of our Canadian facility is less than one year. None of our leases have additional terms related to the payments or mechanics of the lease. The leases have no additional payment terms such as common area maintenance payments, tax sharing payments or other allocable expenses. Likewise, the leases do not contain other terms and conditions of use, such as variable lease payments, residual value guaranties or other restrictive financial terms. Since there is no explicit interest rate in our leases, management used its incremental borrowing rate, which is estimated to be 18 % to determine lease liability.
As of December 31, 2025 , our weighted average remaining lease term is five years, and the total remaining operating lease payments is $ 1,686,000 . Payments over the remaining lease terms is as follows:

Legal Proceedings.
On
November 11, 2025, BioLargo Inc. and ONM Environmental Inc. filed a lawsuit against Pooph Inc. (and related party Ikigai Marketing Works LLC) in the United States District Court, Central District of California, case number
8:25 -cv-
02516, alleging patent infringement (
35 U.S.C.
271 ), false advertising (
15 U.S.C.
1125 ), and state law claims including breach of contract, false promise, unfair and fraudulent business practices, and constructive fraud. In the suit, we seek (i) an order that the defendants have infringed on our patents, an injunction enjoining defendants from further infringing on our patents, and accounting for defendants' gains and profits; (ii) an order that defendants have violated Section
43 (a) of the Lanham Act, an injunction preventing defendants from using product reviews based on our proprietary technology with their newly formulated products, and an accounting and damages for these violations; (iii) compensatory damages for unpaid royalties of
$1,667,292; (iv) compensatory damages for unpaid product purchased from ONM Environmental of
$2,154,110, (v) compensatory damages in an amount according to proof for false promises and unfair and fraudulent business practices; (vi) treble and/or exemplary damages; and (vii) costs and attorneys fees. Also on
November 11, 2025, Pooph Inc. served ONM Environmental with a lawsuit venued in the Orange County, California Superior Court filed
September 11, 2025, case number
30 -
2025 -
01511009, alleging ONM Environmental breached the terms of, and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing of, the Preferred Master Manufacturing Agreement, seeking damages in an amount to be determined, as well as unjust enrichment, interest, and attorneys fees and costs, arising out of the manufacture and sale of the Pooph-branded products, including the Litterizer cat-litter additive, and ONM Environmental's refusal to fill purchase orders while Pooph Inc. was in breach of contract for failure to pay past due monies. ONM Environmental disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. While the outcomes of the lawsuits are uncertain, management believes that the resolutions of these proceedings will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, adverse outcomes could materially impact future financial results.
