REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Zeo Scientifix, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zeo Scientifix, Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes ( collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, and the 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 more fully described in Note 3, during the year ended October 31, 2025 the Company incurred significant losses and utilized cash in operations, and had a stockholders’ deficit as of that date. These conditions 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 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Zeo ScientifiX, Inc. (“ZEO” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 9, 2011 in the State of Nevada under the name Bespoke Tricycles Inc. (changed to Biotech Products Services and Research, Inc. during September 2015 and to Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc., effective June 20, 2018). Effective February 20, 2024, we further amended our Articles of Incorporation to assume our current name, Zeo ScientifiX, Inc.
The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company principally focusing on the development of innovative biological therapeutics for the treatment of degenerative diseases and regenerative medicine. In connection with the state of Florida’s new “stem cell therapy” law, effective July 1, 2025 (“SB 1768”)., the Company has begun to pursue clinical research and commercial sales strategies that are compliant with SB 1768. The Company has a portfolio of proprietary products derived from ethically sourced birth tissue, including mesenchymal stem cells, stem cell and amniotic fluid derived exosomes and Whartons Jelly matrix. The Company’s principal product is Zofin™, a product derived from amniotic fluid and manufactured to retain the naturally occurring extracellular vesicles, proteins and cell secreted nanoparticles. ZEO also manufactures Patient Pure X™ (“PPX™”), a proprietary autologous biologic containing a nanoparticle fraction that is precipitated from a patient’s own peripheral blood. ZEO’s products are all manufactured in FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant laboratory facilities. Our portfolio of products (“RAAM Products”) and related services are principally used in the health care industry administered through doctors and clinics (“Providers”).
In addition to the Company’s efforts to now supply products that are compliant with SB 1768, the Company has recently developed and begun to distribute additional products that incorporate its proprietary ingredients for products to be used in topical aesthetic applications and is actively exploring further development of additional products to be used in other topical aesthetic applications.
Effective November 28, 2023, we implemented a one-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”). The par value of the Company’s common stock was unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio of one-for-200 and the additional paid-in capital account was credited with the amount by which the stated capital was reduced. All share and per share amounts referenced herein give effect to the Reverse Split as of the earliest period presented.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentrations of Risk
Credit Risk
The balance sheet items that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Balances in accounts are insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $ 250,000 per institution. At October 31, 2025, the Company did no t have cash balances in one financial institution in excess of FDIC insurance coverage limits.
F- 7
Major Customer
During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company sold products and services totaling approximately $ 741,000 ( 14.3 % ) to a large medical practice group, approximately $ 597,000 ( 11.5 % ) to a large distributor and medical practice group and approximately $ 568,000 ( 10.9 % ) to another large distributor and medical practice group.
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company sold products and services totaling approximately $ 661,000 ( 14.3 % ) to a large distributor and medical practice group and approximately $ 556,000 ( 12.0 % ) to another large distributor and medical practice group.
As of October 31, 2025, the Company had accounts receivable from one customer. As of October 31, 2024, the Company had accounts receivable from three customers which comprised 60 % , 17 % and 12 % of its gross accounts receivable, respectively. There were no other customers that accounted for more than 10 % of accounts receivable at October 31, 2025 or 2024.
The Company’s sales agreements are non-exclusive and the Company does not believe it has any exposure based on the customers of its products.
Major Supplier
The Company has contracts with more than one supplier of the tissue raw material used in manufacturing of its products. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Company purchased the tissue raw material used in manufacturing of its products from one supplier in the amount of $120,000 ( 72 % of total raw material purcahses and $ 45,000 ( 28 % of total raw material purchases.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Company purchased the tissue raw material used in manufacturing of its products from one supplier in the amount of $ 135,000 .
The Company’s supply agreements are non-exclusive and the Company does not believe it has any exposure based on the availability of raw materials and/or products from other suppliers.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for credit loss reserves for accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
F- 8
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to pay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions.
Most of the Company’s sales do not provide for installment payments and amounts are typically due upon invoicing. However, for those customers that are granted payment terms, the policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made. Management determined that no allowance for bad debts was necessary at October 31, 2025 and 2024. For the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $ 0 and $ 9,000 , respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. The Company provides a reserve for potential excess, dated or obsolete inventories based on an analysis of forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand and any firm purchase orders, as well as product shelf life. At October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that no reserves were required in connection with our inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from 3 to 15 years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
Non-marketable Securities
Non-marketable securities consist of equity investments in privately held companies, which are classified as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. These non-marketable equity securities do not have readily determinable fair values. Under the measurement alternative election, the Company accounts for these non-marketable securities at cost and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer or upon impairment and are not eligible for the net-asset-value practical expedient from fair value measurement. The measurement alternative election is reassessed each reporting period to determine whether the non-marketable securities continue to be eligible for this election.
The Company periodically evaluates its non-marketable securities for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recovered. Impairment indicators may include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality or business outlook or a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment.
Under current U.S. GAAP, equity investments without readily determinable fair values are reported at cost minus impairment. However, impairment losses are recognized only if they are considered other-than- temporary. The Company evaluated its investment in non-marketable securities at October 31, 2025 and 2024, and determined such investment was impaired.
F- 9
Leasehold Improvements
Leasehold improvements in excess of $1,000 that are made in connection with leases having a term of more than 12 months are capitalized by the Company and amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably certain at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. Costs associated with leasehold improvements that do not exceed $1,000 are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB’) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which requires the Company to recognize revenue in amounts that reflect the prorata completion of the performance obligations of the Company required under the contracts.
The Company recognizes revenue only when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for the good or service. Our performance obligations are satisfied and control is transferred at a point-in-time, which is typically when the transfer and title to the product sold has taken place and there is evidence of our customer’s satisfactory acceptance of the product shipment or delivery except in those instances when the customer has made prior arrangements with the Company to store the product purchased by the customer at the Company’s facilities that is to be delivered at a later date to be designated by the customer. Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of fully vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of fully vested shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments.
At October 31, 2025, the Company had 4,265,444 common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants (vested and unvested), 212,500 unissued restricted stock ( 178,333 unvested), $ 250,000 of convertible debt securities (convertible into a maximum of 41,667 shares) and $ 100,000 of future obligations in connection with the purchase of the BioLumina assets that may be settled through the issuance of common stock (convertible into a maximum of 40,000 shares) that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for the year ended October 31, 2025.
At October 31, 2024, the Company had 3,522,527 common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants (vested and unvested), 185,000 unvested and unissued restricted stock and $ 725,000 of convertible debt securities (convertible into a maximum of 120,834 shares) that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for the nine months ended October 31, 2024.
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based payments are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
The Company periodically issues stock options and stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.
F- 10
The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with the development of the Company’s technologies. These costs are expensed as incurred. Our research and development expenses were approximately $ 100,000 and $ 164,000 for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The research and development costs primarily relate to the filing and approval of IND applications and the performance of clinical trials.
Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated tax return that includes all of its subsidiaries.
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes and deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of the operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Topic 740 – Income Taxes. This pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
For the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company incurred operating losses, and therefore, there was not any income tax expense amount recorded during those periods. There is a full valuation allowance established for the tax benefit associated with the net losses for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
F- 11
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to its financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level three — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of convertible notes approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.
Operating Lease Obligations
Under the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), the Company recognizes a right of use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability for all operating leases upon commencement of the lease.
The Company’s policy is to treat operating leases that have a term of one year or less at lease commencement date and do not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain of exercise, consistent with the lease recognition approach as previously outlined under ASC 840. In addition, month to month leases which do not involve additional financial commitments on the part of the Company are also treated consistent with the lease recognition approach as previously outlined under ASC 840. The Company has established a capitalization threshold of $15,000 in determining whether any future operating leases will be capitalized.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after October 31, 2025 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure or recording.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on its financial statement disclosures.
We have reviewed all accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB and the SEC. The authoritative pronouncements that we have already adopted did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof, and except as otherwise noted above, we do not believe that any of the authoritative pronouncements that we have not yet adopted will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred net losses of $ 5,521,000 for the year ended October 31, 2025 and used $ 718,000 of cash from operating activities during that period. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit and a stockholders’ deficit of $ 67,734,000 and $ 1,423,000 , respectively, at October 31, 2025. The Company had a working capital deficit of $ 1,915,000 at October 31, 2025.
United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations which were announced in November 2017 and which became effective in May 2021 require that the sale of products that fall under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act pertaining to marketing traditional biologics and human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue based products (“HCT/Ps”) can only be sold pursuant to an approved biologics license application (“BLA”). Notwithstanding the above, certain states, including Florida (SB 1768) have approved legislation that permits the use and sale of products that would otherwise be restricted under current FDA regulations. The Company has not obtained any opinion or ruling regarding the Company’s operations and whether the processing, sales and distribution of the products it currently produces would be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s.
As a result of the above, the Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless (a) the Company’s ability to process, sell and distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are not restricted; and/or (b) additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses and research and development costs related to development of new products and to perform required clinical studies in connection with the sale of its products. The Company does not have any assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. In addition, the Company relies on its ability to produce and sell products it manufactures that are subject to changing technology and regulations that it currently sells and distributes to its customers. The Company’s current market capitalization, common stock liquidity and available authorized shares may hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds. The Company anticipates that future sources of funding, if any, will therefore be costly and dilutive, if available at all.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet assumes that (a) the Company is able to continue to produce products or obtain products under supply arrangements which are in compliance with current and future regulatory guidelines; (b) the Company will be able to establish a stabilized source of revenues, including efforts to expand sales internationally and the development of new product offerings and/or designations of products; (c) obligations to the Company’s creditors are not accelerated; (d) the Company’s operating expenses remain at current levels and/or the Company is successful in restructuring and/or deferring ongoing obligations; (e) the Company is able to continue its research and development activities, particularly in regards to remaining compliant with the FDA and ongoing safety and efficacy of its products; and/or (f) the Company obtains additional working capital to meet its contractual commitments and maintain the current level of Company operations through debt or equity sources.
There is no assurance that the products we currently produce will not be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s and/or the Company will be able to complete its revenue growth strategy. There is no assurance that the Company’s research and development activities will be successful or that the Company will be able to timely fund the required costs of those activities. Without sufficient cash reserves, the Company’s ability to pursue growth objectives will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, despite significant effort since July 2015, the Company has thus far been unsuccessful in achieving a stabilized source of revenues.
If revenues do not increase and stabilize, if the Company’s ability to process, sell and/or distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are restricted, and/or if additional funds cannot otherwise be raised, the Company might be required to seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets, closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws.
As of October 31, 2025, based on the factors described above, the Company concluded that there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements.

During the year ended October 31, 2024, pursuant to a capital call notice received from Exotropin LLC, a privately held skin-care formulator (“Exotropin”), the Company invested an additional $45,000 in cash (representing its 8.96% equity interest at the time of the capital call).
During November 2024, the Company received a capital call notice from Exotropin, in which the Company’s pro-rata share was $126,000 (“November Capital Call”). The Company elected not to participate in the November Capital Call and as a result, its interest in Exotropin has been reduced to approximately 5.6%. There have been no further capital calls.
Both Greyt Ventures, LLC (“Greyt”), a principal shareholder of the Company and Skycrest Holdings, LLC, (“Skycrest”) a former principal shareholder of the Company, each own a 17.93% interest in Exotropin. In addition, Mr. Robert Smoley, a consultant and advisor to the Company was also the Chief Operating Officer of Exotropin (until November 2024). In addition, the Company’s CMO was granted an option to acquire up to 200,000 membership interests in Exotropin, of which 100,000 vested immediately and the remaining 100,000 will vest based on future sales of Exotropin attributed to the CMO. The option price is $20,000 for the 200,000 membership interests.
F- 14
As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded total reserves against the carrying value of its investment of Exotropin of $ 145,000 and $ 145,000 respectively, based on the limited financial history of Exotropin to date to ascertain the fair value of Exotropin and the Company’s limited rights to control future dilution to the Company’s interests and the timing of available distributions, if any, of Exotropin. As such, at October 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $0.
The Company evaluated its ownership, contractual and other interests in this entity and determined the Company does not have a variable interest in this entity and therefore it is not required to be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. The Company’s maximum loss exposure is limited to the carrying value of this investment.
Sales Representative Agreement
In November 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Representative Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Exotropin to support the commercialization of its proprietary topical products. Under the Sales Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive commissions on the net sales value of Exotropin products sold to pre-approved customers introduced by the Company, including retailers (10%), wholesale distributors (5%), private label customers (10%), and direct-to-consumer customers (15%).
In connection with the Sales Agreement, the Company and Exotropin co-developed a topical product for the treatment of hair loss, branded as “ZEO HAIR GROW™ Powered By Exotropin™,” which launched in November 2024 (the “Collaboration”). Under the terms of the Collaboration, the Company is responsible for sales and marketing, and the parties agreed to share equally in the net profits from product sales, after reimbursement of direct cash costs incurred by either party.
On August 15, 2025, the Company provided Exotropin with formal notice of termination of the Sales Agreement for cause (see Note 14).
For the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 61,000 and $ 87,000 , respectively, of commissions were earned under the Sales Agreement. The commissions earned under the Sales Agreement are reflected in other income in the consolidated financial statements.
Joint Supply Agreement
During September 2023, the Company and Exotropin entered into an agreement whereby Exotropin agreed to supply the Moisturizer that the Company is obligated to supply under the Amended Skincare Agreement. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company paid Exotropin $235,000 representing the amount of Initial Purchase Order associated with the Company’s arrangement with Exotropin to supply the Moisturizer (“Moisturizer Prepayment”). On August 12, 2024, in connection with the mutual agreement to terminate the Amended Skincare Agreement, the Company and Exotropin entered into a settlement and general release (“Release”) whereby the parties released each other from all outstanding duties and/or obligations owed by one party to the other party as set forth in the Release including but not limited to Exotropin’s obligation to supply any Moisturizer to the Company pursuant to the Amended Skincare Agreement and the Company’s obligation to make or place any additional orders to Exotropin for the Moisturizer. In connection with the Release, Exotropin retained the Moisturizer Prepayment made by the Company to Exotropin, and Exotropin was not obligated to deliver any of the Moisturizer to the Company, including portion of the Moisturizer to be provided in connection with the Moisturizer Prepayment (see Note 14).

During the period August 2023 through September 2023, the Company sold 2.9 Units (“Units”) to 4 investors in a private offering at a purchase price of $ 250,000 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $ 725,000 . Each Unit consists of (a) a $ 250,000 in principal amount 8 % Convertible Promissory Note due September 30, 2026 (“Note ” ); and (b) 7,813 common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”), each entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock, $ 0.001 par value (“Shares”) at an exercise price of $ 20.00 for a period of five years from the date of issuance. Interest on the Notes are payable annually and together with the principal amount on the Maturity Date.
F- 17
The Notes may be prepaid by the Company, in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to payment of a premium of 10%, provided that the Company gives the holders fifteen (15) business notice prior to prepayment, during which period, Investors may elect to convert the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon into Shares at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the daily VWAP of the Shares (as defined in the Note) for twenty consecutive (20) trading days ending on the date the Company gives the holders of the Notes notice of prepayment.
Holders of the Notes (“Holders”) will have the right, at any time during the period commencing on April 1, 2024 and ending on the earliest to occur of the Maturity Date, the date of a Prepayment or the date of an automatic conversion, to convert the Note in whole, but not in part, and accrued interest thereon into Shares at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the daily VWAP of the Shares (as defined in the Note) for twenty consecutive ( 20 ) trading days ending on the date the investor gives the Company a notice of conversion, subject to a minimum conversion price of $ 6.00 per Share.
In addition, the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon will automatically convert into Shares in the event that prior to the Maturity Date, the Company consummates a “Qualified Financing” or a “Qualified Sale” (as defined in the Note) at a conversion price equal to 80% of the offering price of Shares sold in the Qualified Financing or 80% of the purchase price per Share to be received by stockholders following consummation of a Qualified Sale. The balance of the notes payable was $ 725,000 at October 31, 2024.
On October 3, 2025, the Company offered each Holder of the Notes the opportunity to convert their Note on October 10, 2025 (including accrued interest outstanding) at a conversion price equal to $ 3.00 per share (“Conversion Offer”). The Holders of a total of $ 475,000 principal amount of Notes (including $39,000 of accrued interest as of October 10, 2025) agreed to accept the Conversion Offer and accordingly received an aggregate total of 171,347 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the conversion of the Notes, the Company recorded an inducement expense of $ 136,000 representing the fair value of the additional shares that were issued in the conversion (t he trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion was $1.59 per share) over the amount of shares convertible pursuant to the original terms of the Notes.
As of October 31, 2025, the remaining outstanding Notes of $ 250,000 are convertible into a maximum of 41,667 shares.
The fair value of the Warrants issued was $ 80,000 . The Company recorded a discount of the Note in the amount of $72,000 at issuance, representing the allocable fair market value of the Note and the Warrants. The discount is being amortized over the term of Note. For the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 39,000 (including $15,000 of unamortized discounts associated with the converted Notes outstanding as of October 10, 2025) and $ 23,000 , respectively, of the discounts recorded in connection with the issuance of the Note have been amortized, resulting to unamortized debt discount of $ 7,000 and $ 45,000 as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company has paid $ 20,000 and $ 64,000 respectively, of interest on the Notes.
The securities were offered and sold in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

FASB ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the net deferred tax asset was offset by a full valuation allowance.
Pursuant to Code Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”), the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as a result of a cumulative change in stock ownership of more than 50% over a three-year period. The Company may be subject to such limitation.

F- 29

As of the date of the Settlement, both the Company and Exotropin had yet to deliver the Ingredient or the Moisturizer to the Supplier. In connection with the Settlement, the parties released each other from all outstanding duties and/or obligations owed by one party to the other party as set forth in the Settlement, including but not limited to the Company’s obligation to supply any Combined Product to the Supplier and the Supplier’s obligation to make or place any additional orders to the Company for the Combined Product.

Concurrent with the execution of the Settlement, the Company and Exotropin entered into a settlement and general release (“Release”) whereby the parties released each other from all outstanding duties and/or obligations owed by one party to the other party as set forth in the Release including but not limited to Exotropin’s obligation to supply any Moisturizer to the Company pursuant to the Amended Skincare Agreement and the Company’s obligation to make or place any additional orders to Exotropin for the Moisturizer.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief, in addition to both compensatory and punitive damages.
F- 30
Effective November 13, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Albert Mitrani and Dr. Maria Ines Mitrani, pursuant to which it resolved various claims against the Mitranis, including those set forth in the previously reported Florida state action the Company had filed against the Mitranis.

Effective August 12, 2024, the Company and Dr. Leider entered into a settlement agreement and general release whereby the Company agreed to pay Dr. Leider $40,000 in exchange for each party executing mutual releases in connection with the non-renewal of Dr. Leider’s employment agreement.

The Company is currently exploring its legal options and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
Exotropin
On August 15, 2025, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement for cause. Exotropin filed a complaint (case No. CACE-25-013178, in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida) against the Company for declaratory judgment on August 29, 2025, concerning the parties’ June 19, 2024, Amended and Restated Sales Representative Agreement, seeking declarations related to termination and the survival/enforceability of certain restrictive and other clauses. On November 6, 2025, the Company moved to dismiss Exotropin’s complaint and to strike the jury demand pursuant to the agreement’s jury waiver. The Company filed counterclaims on November 17, 2025, alleging, among other things, unjust enrichment tied to diverted sales, tortious interference with business relationships, and seeking imposition of a constructive trust, as well as recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, with rights reserved to amend and supplement. On January 7, 2026, Exotropin filed a First Amended Complaint adding claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty and seeking injunctive and monetary relief. Pleadings and motion practice remain in progress. Discovery is ongoing; no depositions have been taken to date.

The Company continues to evaluate its legal options and intends to protect its rights under the Sales Agreement.
F- 31
BioXtex
In June 2025, BioXtek sought to terminate the Binding MOU and the Joint Venture for alleged breaches by the Company, which the Company contested. As the Company and BioXtek were not able to amicably resolve the dispute, on December 17, 2025, the Company commenced an action against BioXtek (case No. CACE-25-019364, in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida) and an amended complaint on January 5, 2026, asserting claims for breach of contract and implied covenant, fraudulent inducement, violation of the Florida Deceptive Unfair Trade Practices Act, equitable accounting, and declaratory judgment. The Company seeks damages expectancy/consequential losses, equitable relief, and fees. The Clerk of the Court issued a Summons for BioXtek, but BioXtek has not been served with the Summons and Amended Complaint. Therefore, BioXtek’s response to the Amended Complaint is not yet due. The case is pending. The Company continues to evaluate its legal options and intends to protect its rights under the Binding MOU and the Joint Venture.

On June 25, 2025 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with BioLumina, LLC (“BIO”), a Delaware limited liability company, and all of its members (each a “Member” and collectively “Members”), whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of BIO (“Acquisition”) held by the Members for a total purchase price of $ 200,000 (“Purchase Price”). The assets of BIO at the time of the Acquisition consisted primarily of finished goods inventory valued at $200,000 (“Inventory”) of which $23,000 was on hand and the remaining $177,000 (reflected as prepaid expenses in the unaudited balance sheet at July 31, 2025) is to be delivered by October 31, 2025, certain intellectual property consisting of various trademarks applications that have been submitted and are pending review and approval, and certain software platforms used to process product sales orders. At the time of the Acquisition, BIO’s historical cumulative sales were less than $50,000. The Company treated the purchase of BIO as an acquisition of assets. The Company did not assign any value to the intellectual property. Inventory was valued at the lower of replacement cost or the portion of the Purchase Price allocated towards inventory.
F- 32
The Purchase Price is to be paid as follows:
(a)
A $25,000 cash payment (the “Cash Purchase Price”), paid on the Closing Date to the Members pro rata ; and
(b)
30,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $ 75,000 (the “Zeo Shares”) issued on the Closing Date, to the Members, pro rata ; with respect to which the Members will be accorded (1) piggyback registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (2) a right to put their Zeo Shares back to the Company on the first anniversary of Closing (the “True Up Date”) at a price of $2.50 per share ($75,000 in the aggregate); and
(c)
A royalty, payable to the Members, pro rata , equal to 10% of the gross cash proceeds (excluding shipping, handling, returns and credits) received by the Company from the sale of BIO’s Inventory acquired at closing (the “Product”) during the first year following the Closing Date, up to a maximum of $100,000 (the “Royalty”) which Royalty will be payable to the Members, pro rata , within 5 business days of the True-Up Date. In the event the Royalty amount as of the True-Up Date is less than $100,000 (a “Shortfall”), then the Company agrees to pay the Members, pro rata , a cash payment in the amount of the Shortfall within 90 days after the True-Up Date. In addition, the Members shall have the option, to apply their pro rata share of the Royalty (inclusive of any Shortfall), to the purchase of additional restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at purchase price equal to 75% of the average closing trading price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately prior to the True-Up Date, provided however that in no event shall the purchase price be lower than $2.50 per Share.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded an obligation of $16,500 representing the difference in the fair value of the ZEO Shares on the Closing Date ($58,500) and the amount that the Company has agreed to provide in the event of a Shortfall. At October 31, 2025, the Company recorded an additional obligation of $ 2,000 to reflect the loss in the fair value of the ZEO Shares from the Closing Date.
