Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
NexGel,
Inc. (“NexGel” or the “Company”) manufactures high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer
hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. The Company specializes in custom
gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. The Company has historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying
our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the
Company. First, we launched our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white
label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our
gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies
enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g.,
thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a
substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices
in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, the Company and its customers are able to determine tolerances
in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.
NexGel
was previously known as AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) before changing its name to NexGel, Inc. on November 14, 2019.
On
May 15, 2024, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets from Semmens Online Pty Ltd as Trustee for Semmens Business Trust
(the “SG Seller”) related to the SG Seller’s eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lash serum and mascara business operating under
the tradename “Silly George” (collectively, the “Silly George acquisition”).
On
December 1, 2023, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets Olympus Trading Company, LLC (the “Kenkoderm Seller”)
related to the Kenkoderm Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename
“Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”).
On
March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50 % interest in a newly formed joint venture (“CGN JV”), CG Converting and Packaging,
LLC (“CGN”), with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business. The CGN JV was
effective March 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50 % of the CGN JV, with the remaining 50 % held by CG Labs.
On
January 6, 2023, the Company acquired a 50 % interest in a newly formed joint venture (“Enigma JV”) to pursue branded consumer
product retail opportunities and the development of new patch products. The Enigma JV agreement was effective January 6, 2023. As a result
of this transaction, the Company owned 50 % of the Enigma JV, with the remaining 50 % held by Moiety. However, the Enigma JV was dissolved
on December 23, 2024.
Basis
of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.
The
accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of NexGel have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2025 . These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary,
NexGelRx, Inc. and the fifty percent ( 50 % ) owned CGN JV (see Note 5).

Table of Contents
2.
Going Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of
$ 725 thousand. For the six months
ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss attributable to NexGel stockholders of $ 1.4
million and had a net usage of cash in operating activities of $ 807
thousand. In addition, the Company had working capital of $ 1.8
million as of June 30, 2025. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
Management
is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices.
The Company has increased focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable
us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder
value creation.
We
intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing
our catalogue of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional
branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media and online advertising and marketplaces.
Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology.
Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions), and additional capital raises through debt
or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.
We
expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term
is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may
consider various options to raise capital to fund our current business activities, potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings.
There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds,
if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue
as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the condensed consolidated financial statements have
been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of
long-lived assets.
3.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions
include allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and
fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Table of Contents
Segment
Reporting
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment
Reporting , requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its
stockholders. The Company has two reportable segments - the NexGel segment and the CGN segment.
The
NexGel segment is comprised of the manufacturing of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications,
which is based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania as well as the Kenkoderm acquisition, the Silly George acquisition and the Enigma JV. However,
the Enigma JV was dissolved on December 23, 2024.
The
CGN segment is comprised of the CGN JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.
Reclassifications
We
have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements
and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year’s presentation. These changes consisted of separating Accounts payable
– related party from Accounts payable within the June 30, 2024 condensed consolidated statement of cashflows and we have reclassified
expenses on our statement of operations realigning certain expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative to cost
of revenue related to our online sales commissions and contract fees.
Accounts
Receivable, net
Trade
accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability
of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables
are past due, the customer’s payment history, the credit quality of the customer and other factors that may affect the customers’
ability to pay. Provisions to the allowances for credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for credit
losses was $ 8 thousand as of June 30, 2025 and $ 5 thousand as of December 31, 2024.
Inventory
and Cost of Revenues
The
inventory balance is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The
Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of
historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products,
general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company
adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.
The
Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract
manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production
process.
9
Table of Contents
The
inventory balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s warehouses,
third party warehouses and at fulfilment centers owned by Amazon, Walmart and CVS.
The
“Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory
sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording
inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, there was no reserve recorded against inventories.
Research
and Development
Our
research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development
expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.

and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’
useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated
useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Management
periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in
the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the
carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.
The
carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal and any resulting
gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same year.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
In
applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated
fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded
at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets
with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of the acquisition date or annually as of December
31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment
loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

Prepaid
Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and are primarily made up of $ 9 thousand and $ 46 thousand of prepaid
insurance, and $ 854 thousand and $ 577 thousand general prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, respectively.
Other
Assets
Other
assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts
for manufacturing equipment. The Company maintains spare parts for either repair and maintenance, which is expensed as incurred, or replacement
of capitalized equipment. Capitalized equipment spare parts are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into
service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation
techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level
within the hierarchy is described below:
Level
1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level
3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
The
Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and
convertible notes payable) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly
liquid nature of these financial instruments.
Warrant
Liability
Warrants
to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values
of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At
issuance, the fair values of the warrant are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments
to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Equity
Classified Warrants
Warrants
that meet all necessary criteria to be accounted for as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity are presented within additional paid-in capital within Company’s condensed consolidated statements
of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured
at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core
principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines
a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within
the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating
the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance
obligation.
The
Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three sources, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods
manufacturing (“Custom and white label”), and our branded consumer products. Contract manufacturing and Custom and white
label revenues are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance
obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product. Branded consumer product revenue is derived from direct-to-consumer
purchases through websites like Amazon and through our Shopify stores. Revenue is recognized upon shipment to the end customer.
The
Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are predominately concentrated
in the United States, but with the Silly George acquisition, have expanded into Europe and Asia. Payment terms, excluding branded consumer
products, vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in
a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment. Branded consumer products are purchased and paid for by the consumer at the
time the transaction is completed.
Estimates
for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns
are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes
in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts
accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and
are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

Contract
Manufacturing
Customers
order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically,
this was the Company’s primary source of revenue.
Custom
& White Label
These
products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused
into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer,
who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer
paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places an order for newly developed product.
Consumer
Branded Products
These
products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to consumers by the Company through online and retail channels. We are responsible
for sales, marketing, and distribution. The products we sell under our MedaGel brand primarily relate to healthcare over-the-counter
(“OTC”) remedy solutions, such as blister and applications. In December 2023 we added a second consumer product brand when
we completed the purchase of the Kenkoderm brand. The Kenkoderm skincare line was originally developed by a dermatologist to provide
gentle to the skin products for consumer with psoriasis. In May 2024, we added our third consumer product brand with the purchase of
the Silly George brand. Silly George is a beauty brand primarily focused on false eyelashes and other eye related products. We continue
to look for additional potential acquisitions as part of our consumer product “roll-up” strategy.
Medical
Devices/Other
Medical
Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are
not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. We will manufacture and possibly convert/package the
device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by us, but also be offered
to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.
Other
includes freight charged to customers who purchase the Company’s branded consumer products through their Spotify stores.

Shipping
and Handling Revenue and Expense
Shipping
and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues,
respectively. The Company accounts for shipping activities, consisting of direct costs to ship products performed after the control passes
to the customer. Shipping revenue and expense are primarily generated through the Amazon marketplace and Silly George direct customer
sales.
Share-based
Compensation
On
August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 14 for further
details regarding the 2019 Plan.
The
2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock
options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend
equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using
a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on
a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates.
Tax
benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon
examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated
financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.
An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to
a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required
or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.
Leases
ASC
842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s
obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized
based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases
do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement
date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate
the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that
are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.
The
Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing
operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances
of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease
cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments
for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the year when the changes in facts
and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components
for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Table of Contents
Variable
Interest Entity
The
Company reviews each legal entity formed by parties related to the Company to determine whether or not the Company has a variable interest
in the entity and whether or not the entity would meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance
with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation . In assessing whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company
considers and makes judgements regarding the purpose and design of the entity, the value of the licensed assets to the entity, the value
of the entity’s total assets and the significant activities of the entity. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity
as a whole, the Company assesses whether or not the Company is a primary beneficiary of that VIE, based on a number of factors, including:
(i) which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) the
parties’ contractual rights and responsibilities pursuant to the collaboration agreement, and (iii) which party has the obligation
to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
If
the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the onset of the collaboration, the collaboration is treated as
a business combination and the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE into the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. As of December 31, 2024, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company will evaluate whether it continues to be the primary
beneficiary of the consolidated VIE. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it
deconsolidates the VIE in the period in which the determination is made.
Assets
and liabilities recorded as a result of consolidating the financial results of the VIE into the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets or liabilities
for which creditors have recourse to the Company’s general assets.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified
effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material
impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 , Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This ASU includes amendments that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements
and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit
or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and
assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance;
(iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues
or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance
requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance resulted
in the Company being required to include enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company adopted this new standard
during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In
June 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-05, Business Combinations
(ASC Topic 805): Joint Venture Formations , which provides guidance on accounting for joint ventures established through new entities.
The update mandates the application of the acquisition method of accounting for such transactions, requiring parties to recognize and
measure identifiable assets and liabilities based on fair values at the acquisition date and establishes a measurement period for adjustments.
The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January
1, 2025.
Management
expects adoption of this ASU will enhance consistency and transparency in financial reporting, without a material impact on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations when future joint ventures are established.
Accounting
Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The ASU requires
that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative
threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it
retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced
income tax related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its year-end financial statements.

Business Segments
The
Company’s CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment operating income or (loss)
as the profitability measure. Items outside of operating income or (loss) are not reported by segment, since they are excluded from the
single measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM.
Summarized
financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and

tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”). The Company believes the Kenkoderm brand fits its health and
wellness lines of product.
Under
the terms of the Kenkoderm Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the Kenkoderm Seller a cash payment of $ 547 thousand on December 1, 2023.
The Kenkoderm Seller is entitled to a quarterly contingent earn-out payment based on a set formula. The earn-out is equal to two times
the base purchase price of $ 547 thousand times the ratio of current quarter’s sales divided by the quarterly sales from the same
period in the prior year less the base purchase price and multiplied by one quarter. Additionally, the Company will pay the Kenkoderm
Seller a cash earn-out of the same amount each quarter, payable in the subsequent month following quarter end, subject to adjustment.
The cash earn-out can fluctuate higher or lower based on the quarterly results of the Kenkoderm business during 2024 according to the
formula contained in the Kenkoderm Purchase Agreement. The contingent consideration has been settled and the earn-out payments amounted
to $ 178 thousand and $ 279 thousand in 2025 and 2024, respectively, net of an adjustment in fair value of contingent consideration of
$ 18 in 2024.
The
fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the Kenkoderm Seller was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The Company
accounted for the Kenkoderm acquisition as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the
assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and consolidated with those
of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $ 169 thousand. The excess of the aggregate fair value of
the net tangible assets has been allocated to goodwill.

The
allocation of the purchase price to identifiable assets is based on the preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value
of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The measurement period for the valuation of net assets acquired ends as soon as information
on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates becomes available, but not to exceed 12 months following the
acquisition date. Adjustments in purchase price allocations may require a change in the amounts allocated to net assets acquired during
the periods in which the adjustments are determined.

Management
of the Company has performed a review of events and transactions occurring after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date to determine
if there were any such events or transactions requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements, noting no such events or transactions except as set forth below:
On
February 15, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements with investors and certain members of its board of directors and
management for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 242,891 units at a price to the public of $ 4.22 per unit (the “February
Offering”), with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of
common stock at an exercise price of $ 4.00 per share (the “February Warrants”). The closing of the February Offering occurred
on March 1, 2024 (the “February Closing Date”). On the February Closing Date, the Company issued 485,782 shares of common
stock and issued February Warrants to purchase up to 242,891 shares of common stock.
Subject
to certain ownership limitations, each of the February Warrants became exercisable on the February Closing Date and will expire five
years after the February Closing Date. The warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering,
or the prospectus contained in the registration statement is not available for, the issuance or resale of shares of common stock underlying
the warrants to or by the holder. The holder of a warrant is prohibited from exercising of any such warrants to the extent that such
exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99 % of
the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased
or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99 %.
The
net proceeds to the Company from the February Offering were $ 900 thousand, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and other
estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants. The Company
has and intends to continue to use the net proceeds from the February Offering RDO for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The
Company retained Alere Financial Partners, LLC (A division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC) (the “February Placement Agent”)
to act as the placement agent for the February Offering. The Company paid the February Placement Agent a cash fee of 6 % of the aggregate
gross proceeds in the February Offering received from non-affiliates of the Company and 3 % of the aggregate gross proceeds in the February
Offering received from affiliates of the Company. Additionally, on the February Closing Date, the Company issued to the February Placement
Agent warrants exercisable for a period of five years to purchase up to 6 % of the number of shares sold in this offering, or up to 27,725
shares, at a per share exercise price of $ 4.00 .

Share-based Compensation
The
2019 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights
(“SARs”), restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards, which may be granted singly,
in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination of cash and shares
of common stock of the Company. The Company initially reserved a total of 57,143 shares of the Company’s common stock for awards
under the 2019 Plan. Effective as of May 26, 2020 and May 3, 2021, respectively, the Board approved an increase of the number of authorized
shares of common stock reserved under the 2019 Plan from 57,143 shares of common stock to 485,715 and from 485,715 shares of common stock
to 571,429 shares of common stock, all of which may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.
On
December 31, 2024, the Board approved an additional 780,000 shares of common stock to be reserved under the 2019 Plan, such that total
of number of shares underlying the Plan is 1,651,429 of which 975,907 shares have already been awarded or exercised. The Company’s

As
of June 30, 2025, vested outstanding stock options had $ 232 thousand intrinsic value as the exercise price is greater than the estimated
fair value of the underlying common stock, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $ 687 thousand of total unrecognized
share-based compensation related to unvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 3 months excluding options
fully contingent upon certain sales-based milestones being achieved within 18 to 36 months of commercial release.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award.
The service period is generally the vesting period.
The
following assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

The
Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting
employment termination behavior. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the “simplified method” to estimate the expected
term of its share-based awards. The simplified method computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the
original contractual term divided by two.
The
Company estimated the expected volatility input for the Black-Scholes model using the historical volatility of its own publicly traded
common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term of the option.
Restricted
stock awards
Effective
as of June 25, 2025, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to two Board members
for the services as Chairperson of the Board and Chairperson of the Audit Committee, respectively, until
the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 5,000 shares vest in equal 417 share amounts over the following continuous
twelve month beginning on July 31, 2025 (with 413 shares vesting month twelve due to rounding adjustments) . Under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company has measured the value of the aggregated 10,000 shares granted based on the closing
price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($ 2.32 per share).
Effective
as of January 2, 2025, the Company granted an aggregated restricted stock award of 26,116 shares of the Company’s common stock
to Adam Levy for his service as our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of his Executive Employment Agreement dated December
31, 2024. The shares vest monthly from January 2, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of
the 26,116 shares granted based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($ 3.83 per share).
Effective
as of January 1, 2025, the Company granted fully vested restricted stock awards of 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to
two Board members. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of the aggregated 5,000 shares granted based on the closing price
of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($ 3.83 per share).
Effective
as of January 2, 2025, the Company granted an aggregated restricted stock award of 4,082 fully vested shares of the Company’s common
stock to Joseph McGuire for reimbursed expenses in the prior year. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of the 4,082 shares
granted based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($ 4.62 per share).

Company issued 22,019 , 34,285 , 7,429 , 7,286 , 44,286 , 35,714 and 114,286 warrants, respectively, as equity issuance consideration, in
connection with equity offering of the Company’s common stock. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common
stock at an exercise price equal to $ 0.49 to $ 5.25 per share at any time on or after their issuance date and on or prior to the close
of business three to five years after the issuance date (the “Termination Date”). The Company determined that these warrants
are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the
public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives
and Hedging . In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance
sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded
as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Overview
We
manufacture high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics,
transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. We specialize in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. We have
historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning
in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the company. First, our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers.
Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products
and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking
technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to
a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a
measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have
the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, we and our
customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing
color and texture. In May 2023, we formed a joint venture with CG Laboratories, Inc. called CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, which is
located in Granbury, Texas and of which we own a 50% interest, allowing us to expand our ability to deliver finished goods to our growing
customer base.
We
have four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom & White Label, Consumer Branded Products, and Medical Devices/Other,
which are described below.
Contract
Manufacturing
Customers
order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically,
this was the Company’s primary source of revenue.
34
Table of Contents
Custom
& White Label
These
products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused
into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer,
who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer
paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places an order for newly developed product.
Consumer
Branded Products
These
products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to consumers by the Company through online and retail channels. We are responsible
for sales, marketing, and distribution. The products we sell under our MedaGel brand primarily relate to healthcare over-the-counter
(“OTC”) remedy solutions, such as blister and applications. In December 2023 we added a second consumer product brand when
we completed the purchase of the Kenkoderm brand. The Kenkoderm skincare line was originally developed by a dermatologist to provide
gentle to the skin products for consumer with psoriasis. In May 2024, we added our third consumer product brand with the purchase of
the Silly George brand. Silly George is a beauty brand primarily focused on false eyelashes and other eye related products. We continue
to look for additional potential acquisitions as part of our consumer product ‘roll-up” strategy.
Medical
Devices/Other
Medical
Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are
not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. We will manufacture and possibly convert/package the
device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by us, but also be offered
to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.
Other
includes freight charged to customers who purchase the Company’s branded consumer products through their Spotify stores.

and shareholder services increased by $26 or 17.3%, to $176 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $150 for the six months
ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to a net increase of investor services compared to the prior year period.

At
June 30, 2025, current assets totaled $4,162 and current liabilities totaled $2,396, as compared to current assets totaling $5,114 and
current liabilities totaling $2,470 at December 31, 2024. As a result, we had working capital of $1,766 at June 30, 2025, compared to
a working capital of $2,644 at December 31, 2024. The change in the working capital as of June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable
to the loss from operations of $1,413.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that all available funds
and any earnings generated in our business will be used to finance the growth of our business and will not be paid out as dividends to
our shareholders. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and
will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions,
business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Management
is exploring new product channel sales in consumer products, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The
Company has increased its focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable
us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder
value creation.
Our
recent August Financing provides working capital necessary to continue our strategic objectives (discussed further within Note 20). We
intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing
our catalogue of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional
branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore,
the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally,
the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may
be necessary to achieve these objectives.
We
expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long term
is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may
consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances,
however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained
on terms satisfactory to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Additionally,
it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in
the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in
assets transferred to entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to entities for any such
assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in entities providing financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about
the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding
of our Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material
to our Financial Statements.

Share-based
compensation – We utilize share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options. The fair values of incentive stock
option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized
in the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required
to obtain full vesting. The expected term of the awards granted is estimated using the simplified method which computes the expected
term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.
Warrant
Liability – Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises which occurred during
2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes
option valuation model. At issuance, the fair value of the warrant is recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital.
Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The expected
term of the awards granted are based on either the three-year or five-year contractual expiration date.
Black
Scholes Inputs - The fair value of each stock option award and warrant issued was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option-valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding: (i) fair value of the common stock that underlies
the stock option; (ii) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (iii) dividend yield; (iv) risk-free interest
rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected term). Under
the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, entities typically estimate the expected volatility based on historical volatilities of the
entity’s own common stock. Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company
based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture
similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. The fair value of the common stock that underlies
the stock option is estimated by the Company considering the price of the most recent issuance of the Company’s common stock. The
dividend yield is based upon the assumption that the Company will not declare a dividend over the life of the options. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities consistent with the
expected term of the related award.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
As
of June 30, 2025, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure
Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure
controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our
Disclosure Controls and Procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting, which are described below.
Specifically,
management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2025 to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America due to the following: (i) we have not designed controls to ensure all accounting
journals entries are reviewed and approved and (ii) we identified one individual in our accounting department who has “super user”
access and security administration rights to the financial reporting systems. To remediate these material weaknesses, we are working
to do the following: (i) implementing appropriate controls for accounting journal entry approvals, including the approval of our Chief
Financial Officer, and (ii) either actively monitoring any accounting user with elevated rights or assigning another employee outside
of an accounting and reporting role with elevated access. We expect to complete these remediation efforts by December 31, 2025.
Additionally,
we have not designed controls to ensure the financial reporting process is operating effectively. We noted improper fair value adjustments
to contingent consideration, failure to record adequate inventory reserves and various balance sheet accounts not being properly reconciled.
We intend to design controls to ensure the financial information is accurate, complete, and recorded in the correct period.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On
April 9, 2025, we filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment against Kiss Nail Products, Inc. (“Kiss Nail Products”) in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ( NexGel, Inc. v. Kiss Nails Products, Inc. ). The dispute
relates a takedown notice sent by Kiss Nail Products to Amazon.com claiming that our ready-to-use eyelash extension products sold under
our Silly George brand violate a United States patent owned by Kiss Nail Products. Based on advice from our patent legal counsel, we
believe the patent owned by Kiss Nails Products is invalid and expect to prevail in our action for declaratory judgment to declare the
patent invalid. However, if we are unable to prevail in our action, certain of our ready-to-use eyelash extension products may be removed
from Amazon.com, which would result in a material adverse effect to our business and financial results.
From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However,
litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may
harm our business. Except as described above, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims.
There
are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more
than 5% of our common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest
