ImmuCell Corporation (ICCC) doubles profit on higher First Defense sales
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
ImmuCell Corporation reported strong growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by its First Defense® calf health products. Product sales for the first half rose to $17.5 million, up 20.9% year over year, with domestic revenue increasing and international sales declining.
Net income for the first half increased to $3.8 million from $1.9 million, helped by a $2.0 million settlement with a former contract manufacturer and lower Re-Tain® development spending after the decision to cease seeking FDA approval. Gross profit improved in dollars but margin compressed as costs of goods sold grew faster than sales, reflecting higher raw material costs, manufacturing inefficiencies and the reclassification of Re-Tain® facility costs into production.
Operating cash flow strengthened to $6.6 million, boosting cash and equivalents to $8.9 million while debt declined modestly to about $8.3 million. The company is reallocating its former Re-Tain® facility to expand First Defense® capacity, planning roughly $8.0 million of related investments over 12–18 months, and remains highly dependent on two major customers and colostrum supply.
Positive
- Revenue growth: First-half 2026 product sales reached $17.5 million, a 20.9% increase over the prior-year period, driven by higher First Defense® volumes, portfolio expansion and price increases.
- Profitability surge: First-half net income rose to $3.8 million, up 93.8% year over year, with net operating income more than doubling to $3.9 million.
- Cash generation: Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $6.6 million in the first half of 2026 from $3.2 million, supporting internal funding of growth initiatives.
- Balance sheet strengthening: Cash and cash equivalents grew to $8.9 million while debt decreased to about $8.3 million, lifting stockholders’ equity to $31.4 million.
- Settlement proceeds: A $2.0 million settlement with a former contract manufacturer related to Re-Tain® development costs boosted operating income without creating ongoing obligations.
- Capacity expansion: Management approved an estimated $8.0 million two-phase program to expand First Defense® manufacturing capacity, aiming to better align production with expected demand.
Negative
- Margin pressure: Costs of goods sold increased 25.3% in the first half versus 20.9% sales growth, and Q2 gross profit fell 13.5%, reflecting higher raw material costs and manufacturing inefficiencies.
- International softness: International sales declined 35.7% to $1.6 million in the first half and represented only 9.0% of total product sales, reducing geographic diversification.
- Customer concentration risk: Two customers accounted for up to 75% of 2025 first-half sales and 66% of 2026 first-half sales, and 76% of trade receivables at June 30, 2026.
- Capacity and supply risks: The company highlights risks of production expansion cost overruns, not achieving planned capacity, and potential difficulty securing sufficient high-quality colostrum.
- One-time boost: The $2.0 million settlement and lower Re-Tain® spending significantly supported 2026 earnings, elements that are non-recurring and reduce visibility into underlying run-rate profitability.
Filing Explained
No 2026 ATM shares were sold, but $6 million of issuance capacity and newly approved option capacity remain potential sources of future dilution.
This Form 10-Q is an unaudited quarterly report for the period ended
An ATM arrangement permits gradual sales of new shares at prevailing market prices, but the filing reports capacity rather than a current offering or completed issuance. The company reported
Stockholders approved the revised 2025 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, increasing its share authorization from 500,000 to 650,000 shares. The company also granted options for 220,000 shares to two executive officers and a further 109,500-share option to its president and CEO that is contingent on specified operating-income performance.
These options are rights to purchase common stock rather than shares already issued; exercise and any resulting dilution would therefore depend on the applicable vesting and exercise conditions. The filing separately reports 599,256 options excluded from diluted share calculations for the three-month period because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
ImmuCell Corporation, founded in 1982 and an SEC-registered public company since 1987, is an animal health biologics company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of products intended to improve the survivability, health, and long-term performance of neonatal dairy and beef calves. Our primary product line, First Defense®, utilizes hyperimmunized bovine colostrum to provide pathogen-specific antibodies and other bioactive components. In the United States, First Defense® products are regulated as veterinary biologics by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Center for Veterinary Biologics under the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act. In Canada, products are regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and in other countries, the products are regulated by similar agencies. Certain product formats are marketed as feed supplements regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. References to ImmuCell (“the Company”) throughout this document are made using the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further information about our company and strategy.
Seasonality of Sales
Sales of the First Defense® product line are seasonal, with higher sales expected during the first quarter of the calendar year, largely driven by the beef calving season, which runs primarily from January to April, unlike the dairy industry where operations generally calve year-round. Warm and dry weather conditions may reduce the producers’ perceived need for disease prevention products such as the First Defense® product line. However, heat stress on calves caused by extremely hot summer weather and cold stress during the winter months can increase the incidence of scours and the need for our products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our condensed unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 period. Although we regularly assess these estimates, actual amounts could differ from those estimates and are subject to change in the near term. Changes in estimates are recorded during the period in which they become known. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, our valuation of inventory, deferred tax assets, and the impairment of long-lived assets.
In connection with the idle status of certain property, plant and equipment, net (related to the repurposing of certain equipment previously utilized in the manufacturing of Re-Tain®), we reassessed prior estimates of the useful lives of that manufacturing equipment during December 2025. Because the equipment had seen such limited use since installation, we increased the estimated remaining useful lives on certain equipment by a weighted average of years. The effect of this change in estimate, effective January 1, 2026, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was a $
See Note 5, “Property, Plant and Equipment” for further information.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed financial statements are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years are to our fiscal years, which end on December 31.
Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In November of 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to provide disaggregated disclosures of specific expense categories underlying all relevant income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our financial statements and expect to apply the standard on a prospective basis.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.
2. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Allowance for Credit and Sales Losses
As of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025 we determined that
Concentration of Risk
Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is principally limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, therefore, believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses when deemed necessary, but historically we have not experienced significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.
Sales to significant customers that amounted to 10 percent or more of total product sales are detailed in the following table:

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is invested in money market accounts. The fair value of these investments is based on their closing published net asset value.
(2) Due to inflation and the changing interest rate environment, the carrying values of our fixed rate bank debt as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 differed from their fair market values. The amount outstanding under our bank debt facilities is measured at carrying value in our accompanying balance sheets.
We evaluate assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period. Some nonfinancial assets are measured at fair value only in certain circumstances, including the event of impairment.
We assess the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with our accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Regulatory
Our bylaws, as amended, in effect provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors against any liability arising from their responsibilities as officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we make similar indemnity undertakings with each director and executive officer through a separate indemnification agreement with that director or officer. The maximum payment that we may be required to make under such provisions is theoretically unlimited and is impossible to determine. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which may provide us reimbursement for payments made to, or on behalf of, officers and directors pursuant to the indemnification provisions. Our indemnification obligations were grandfathered under the provisions of Codification Topic 460, Guarantees. Accordingly, we have recorded
The development, manufacturing and marketing of animal health and nutrition products entails an inherent risk that liability claims will be asserted against us during the normal course of business. We are aware of no such claims against us as of the time of this filing on August 13, 2026. We believe that we have reasonable levels of liability insurance to support our operations.
We enter into agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business under which we are obligated to indemnify such third parties from and against various risks and losses. The precise terms of such indemnities vary with the nature of the agreement. In some cases those obligations may be theoretically unlimited. We have incurred material expenses in discharging any of these indemnification obligations and based on our analysis of the nature of the risks involved, we believe that the fair value of the liabilities potentially arising under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we recorded

Employee Compensation
Upon retirement from the Company during January 2026, Mr. Brigham (our former President and Chief Executive Officer), was paid $
As of September 29, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. te Boekhorst, which includes the potential for annual cash bonuses, with the payout amount subject to the Company having achieved financial improvement targets from the prior year, as set in advance by our Board of Directors or its Compensation and Stock Option Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The targets for 2026 have been set based on the board approved budget in the first quarter of 2026.
Effective as of January 27, 2026, we entered into new employment agreements with Timothy C. Fiori, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Bobbi Jo Brockmann, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Under the new employment agreements, both individuals have the potential to earn a formulaic annual cash bonus if various preset financial and strategic targets are achieved. The financial and strategic targets for 2026 were approved by the Committee.
Amounts potentially owed under these employment agreements are accrued over the period they are earned (when it is probable that the amounts will be earned) based on our best estimate of the amount expected to be earned. As with other incentive-based compensation, payouts of annual cash bonuses are subject to possible retroactive claw back if and to the extent mandated by Company policy or applicable laws or listing requirements.
Other Commitments
In addition to the commitments discussed above, we had committed i) $2,940,000 to the purchase of inventory, ii) $1,202,000 to increase our production capacity for the First Defense® product line, iii) $

Stock Option Plans
On November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a new 2025 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), under which employees, directors and other service providers may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Board further revised the 2025 Plan on March 26, 2026 and April 7, 2026, including revising the number of shares from

12. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share is similar to the computation of basic net income per share, except that the weighted average common shares outstanding includes the assumed exercise of in-the-money options and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. We use the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards during the period, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.

13. REVENUE
We primarily offer the First Defense® product line to dairy and beef producers to prevent scours in newborn calves. This line offers two distinct platforms: i) veterinary biologics providing scours protection with USDA-approved claims against E.coli, coronavirus and rotavirus and ii) functional feed products delivering concentrated bioactive colostrum proteins. Generally, our products are promoted to veterinarians as well as dairy and beef producers by our sales team and then sold through distributors.
We have determined that each unit within each purchase order we receive from our customers is distinct, can be used on its own, and is not combined with another promise. As such, each unit constitutes a distinct performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the pricing noted within each written contract or provided to customers via standard price lists and with payments typically due in full within 30 days of invoicing. Our contracts do not include significant financing components.
We recognize revenue at a point in time, when we invoice at shipment, which is when the customer assumes legal title and we have the right to payment.
There were no material changes between the allocation and timing of revenue recognition during the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our business operations (being the development, manufacture and sale of products that improve the health and productivity of dairy and beef cattle) are described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”. Our chief operating decision-maker (CODM), our President and CEO, regularly evaluates operating segments: i) Scours and ii) Mastitis for purposes of deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM primarily evaluates performance based on product sales as well as net operating income (loss). No operating segments have been aggregated; therefore, our operating segments are the Company's reportable segments.
Scours segment - consists of the First Defense® product line. The core technology underlying the Scours segment is focused on polyclonal antibodies.
Mastitis segment - includes our CMT product line, consisting of reagents and equipment used for rapid cow-side testing to identify mastitic quarters by detecting elevated somatic cell counts. This segment also includes our Re-Tain® product in development for the treatment of subclinical mastitis based on the bacteriocin nisin. On December 23, 2025, we made the decision to cease our efforts to obtain FDA approval of Re-Tain® while continuing the stability testing and investigational studies to evaluate Re-Tain® performance.
Other - includes unallocated administrative and overhead expenses and other products.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed unaudited financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. One should review the Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results, objectives or expectations described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
ImmuCell Corporation, founded in 1982 and an SEC-registered public company since 1987, is an animal health biologics company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of products intended to improve the survivability, health, and long-term performance of neonatal dairy and beef calves.
Change in Accounting Estimate
In connection with the idle status of certain property, plant and equipment, net (related to the repurposing of certain equipment previously utilized in the manufacturing of Re-Tain®), during December 2025, we reassessed prior estimates of the useful lives of that manufacturing equipment. Because the equipment had seen such limited use since installation, we increased the estimated remaining useful lives on certain equipment by a weighted average of five years. The effect of this change in estimate, effective January 1, 2026, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was a $0.1 million decrease to depreciation expense included in costs of goods sold, and an increase in operating income and net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per both basic and diluted share. The effect of this change in estimate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was a $0.2 million decrease to depreciation expense included in costs of goods sold, and an increase in operating income and net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per both basic and diluted share.
See Note 5, “Property, Plant and Equipment” of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Seasonality of Sales
Sales of the First Defense® product line are seasonal, with higher sales expected during the first quarter of the calendar year, largely driven by the beef calving season, which runs primarily from January to April, unlike the dairy industry where operations generally calve year-round. Warm and dry weather conditions may reduce the producers' perceived need for disease prevention products such as the First Defense® product line. However, heat stress on calves caused by hot summer weather and cold stress during the winter months can increase the incidence of scours and the need for our products.
First Defense® Manufacturing Expansion
In late December 2025 and early January 2026, we announced our plan to convert the former Re-Tain® facilities and most of the related equipment for increased production of our First Defense® product line. In June 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a manufacturing capacity expansion program to execute on that strategy.
The first phase, which we have initiated to stay ahead of current and future demand growth, expands drying capacity by renovating the former Re-Tain® facility and adding a new freeze dryer with greater capacity and reliability than our current freeze-drying equipment. This phase is expected to take approximately 12 months and cost approximately $3.5 million.
In a second phase, we plan to repurpose Re-Tain® equipment and add additional equipment and automation to expand our First Defense® colostrum liquid processing capacity. The second phase will involve additional investments, including for detailed engineering work to develop an efficient and scalable process. This phase is expected to take an additional six months and cost approximately $4.5 million.
The goal of these capacity expansion investments is to further strengthen our ability to reliably manufacture First Defense® products to meet expected customer demand.

Product Sales
Sales of the First Defense® product line made up approximately 99% of our total sales during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We also sell our own CMT, which is used to detect somatic cell counts in milk. Sales of CMT aggregated approximately 1% of our total product sales during the periods reported.
Product sales during the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $7.2 million representing a 11.5%, or $0.7 million, increase over product sales of $6.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes for all product categories of the First Defense® product line, including portfolio expansion, and product price increases.
Domestic sales during the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 27.7% (to $6.2 million), and international sales decreased by 38.9% (to $1.0 million), in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2025. International sales aggregated 13.4% and 24.4% of total sales during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Costs of Goods Sold
Costs of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $4.7 million representing a 30.9%, or $1.1 million, increase over costs of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of First Defense® combined with a shift of $0.3 million of costs associated with the former Re-Tain® manufacturing facility from product development expense to costs of goods sold, along with $0.2 million in manufacturing inefficiencies and $0.2 million of increased raw material costs during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Costs of goods sold increased at a rate higher than sales due to the shift of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) from product development expense as a result of the Company's December 2025 decision to cease its efforts on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products, and manufacturing inefficiencies and increased raw material costs in the three months ending June 30, 2026, partially offset by price increases effective January 1, 2026.
Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, administrative expenses increased by 76.6%, or $0.6 million, to $1.3 million in comparison to $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in executive compensation (including share-based compensation), coupled with $0.1 million in higher professional services fees.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, sales and marketing expenses increased by 59.6%, or $0.4 million, to $1.1 million in comparison to $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to expanded commercial efforts in First Defense® leading to higher compensation and expenses associated with new and backfilled sales positions. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we restricted commercial spending due to tight product supply; however, this tight supply was alleviated in the summer of 2025.
Product Development Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, product development expenses decreased by 85.6%, or $0.7 million, to $0.1 million in comparison to $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by the $0.3 million shift to costs of goods sold of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) as part of our recently announced strategy to utilize the facility for the production of First Defense® as a result of our December 2025 decision to cease our efforts on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products, coupled with a $0.2 million reduction of wages and lab supplies associated with Re-Tain® product development and $0.1 million lower licenses and fees related expense.
Other Operating Income
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a $2.0 million settlement with a former contract manufacturer that compensated the Company for operating costs incurred in product development and contract performance related to the development of the Company’s Re-Tain® product. The settlement resolved claims for operating costs the Company incurred in developing the product. The settlement agreement fully released the parties with no further material obligations. There are no remaining material contingent amounts related to this settlement.
Other Expenses, Net
During both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, other expenses, net was insignificant.
Income Tax Expense
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $45,950 of income tax expense as compared to $1,904 during the three months ended June 30, 2025. We anticipate having some amount of tax liability for profits we may realize moving forward, as certain NOLs carried forward no longer 100% offset taxable income, but 80% instead.

Product sales during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $17.5 million representing a 20.9%, or $3.0 million, increase over product sales of $14.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes for all product categories of the First Defense® product line, including portfolio expansion, and product price increases.
Domestic sales during the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 32.5% (to $16.0 million), and international sales decreased by 35.7% (to $1.6 million), in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2025. International sales aggregated 9.0% and 17.0% of total sales during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Costs of Goods Sold
Costs of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $10.4 million representing a 25.3%, or $2.1 million, increase over costs of goods sold of $8.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of First Defense® combined with a shift of $0.6 million of costs associated with the former Re-Tain® manufacturing facility from product development expense to costs of goods sold, and $0.4 million of increased raw material costs. Costs of goods sold increased at a rate higher than sales due to the shift of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) from product development expense as a result of the Company's December 2025 decision to cease its efforts on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products, and higher raw material costs, partially offset by price increases effective January 1, 2026.
Administrative Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, administrative expenses increased by 79.4%, or $1.1 million, to $2.4 million in comparison to $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due a $0.7 million increase in executive compensation (including share-based compensation), coupled with $0.2 million additional legal and professional service fees.
Other Operating Income
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a $2.0 million settlement with a former contract manufacturer that compensated the Company for operating costs incurred in product development and contract performance related to the development of the Company’s Re-Tain® product. The settlement resolved claims for operating costs the Company incurred in developing the product. The settlement agreement fully released the parties with no further material obligations. There are no remaining material contingent amounts related to this settlement.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, sales and marketing expenses increased by 50.9%, or $0.8 million, to $2.3 million in comparison to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to expanded commercial efforts in First Defense® leading to $0.6 million in higher compensation and expenses associated with new and backfilled sales positions, coupled with $0.1 million in increased promotional and tradeshow related expenses. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we restricted commercial spending due to tight product supply; however, this tight supply was alleviated in the summer of 2025.
Product Development Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, product development expenses decreased by 72.5%, or $1.2 million, to $0.4 million in comparison to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by the $0.6 million shift to costs of goods sold of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) as part of our recently announced strategy to utilize the facility for the production of First Defense® as a result of our December 2025 decision to cease our efforts on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products, coupled with a $0.4 million reduction of wages and lab supplies associated with Re-Tain® product development and $0.1 million lower licenses and fees.
Other (Expenses) Income, Net
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, other (expenses) income, net was ($0.1) million in comparison to $0.3 million of other (expenses) income, net during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year expenses increase of 126.2% or $0.3 million was primarily due to a one-time insurance recovery which occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Income Tax Expense
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $58,472 of income tax expense as compared to $3,809 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As mentioned above, we anticipate having some amount of tax liability for profits we may realize moving forward, as certain NOLs carried forward no longer 100% offset taxable income, but 80% offset instead.
Our sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations, proceeds from our sale of common stock, and borrowings available under our bank line of credit.
We had aggregate debt outstanding (net of debt issuance and debt discount costs) of $8.3 million and $9.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Recurring debt principal repayments (excluding the line of credit) aggregated $0.8 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We anticipate that recurring debt principal repayments will aggregate $1.6 million during the year ending December 31, 2026. Our $1.0 million line of credit, which bears interest at the National Prime Rate per annum, is currently available until September 11, 2026. No draw on our line of credit was outstanding as of June 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025.
Interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs) was $189,027 and $231,110 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our debt bears interest at fixed rates, which on a blended basis amounts to 4.29% per annum as of June 30, 2026. We anticipate that interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs) will be $367,000 during the year ending December 31, 2026.
In April of 2024, we entered into our ATM Agreement, which allows us to offer and sell up to $11 million of shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2026, we have the capacity to sell $6 million of shares under the ATM Agreement but no pending plan to issue additional shares under that arrangement.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in net income, which benefitted from a $2.0 million settlement as the result of a contract dispute with a prior contract manufacturer for Re-Tain®. Working capital changes also contributed to the increase, including i) $1.4 million less cash used for inventory as finished goods were built up in 2025, ii) cash outflows for accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $0.8 million primarily due to timing of payroll and executive bonus payments, and iii) $0.9 million less cash provided by accounts receivable due to timing of order fulfillment.
Net cash used for investing activities increased $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to spending on capital expenditures related to investments supporting the first phase of the First Defense® planned production increase. See “First Defense® Manufacturing Expansion” section above for further information.
Net cash used for financing activities increased $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to the absence of $0.3 million proceeds from the ATM Agreement that were received in the six months ended June 30, 2025, partly offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations
For disclosures on contingencies, see Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require us to make certain complex estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments, and opinions of our management. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2026. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting: Our Chief Financial Officer, other members of management, and our accounting team periodically evaluate any change in internal control over financial reporting which has occurred during the prior fiscal quarter. We have concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of any such lawsuits, investigations and claims against us, we do not believe that any pending or threatened legal proceedings to which we are or could become a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in response to Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of Part I of the Annual Report.
Production capacity constraints: The inability to meet market demand for our products is a risk to our business. Our plans call for increases of our production capacity through yield improvements, redeploying assets previously slated for production of Re-Tain® and investing approximately $3.5 million in incremental freeze drying capacity and approximately $4.5 million in colostrum processing capacity over the next 12 to 18 months. Expanding manufacturing capacity involves practical and technical risks affecting efficiency of production including contamination and yields, and risks of not being able to access sufficient high-quality colostrum or other raw materials. There is a risk of cost overruns in our production expansion project, and a risk that we will not be able to achieve our production capacity growth objectives on a timely basis, resulting in a shortfall in supply to the market. A backlog of orders presents a risk that we could lose customers that are not easily regained. Our long-term capital plan to continue to expand the First Defense® product line requires ongoing review of equipment capacity and utilization and assessment of costs, functional obsolescence and reliability of equipment. This review and assessment could identify a need to fund unexpected equipment maintenance or replacement costs.
Colostrum collection: There is a risk that the farms that participate in our vaccination and colostrum collection process no longer wish to continue supplying us with colostrum, due to the need to use all or part of the colostrum for their own calves, or concerns with the increasing cost of colostrum-replacement products, or higher prices offered by other companies that use colostrum to develop human or animal health products. There is a risk that our supply farms, which are almost entirely located in one state, are subject to a disease outbreak that inhibits their ability to supply the colostrum. There is a risk that the quality of the colostrum collected will not be suitable for our production requirements.
