TOMI Environmental (NASDAQ: TOMZ) posts 2025 loss, faces going concern and Nasdaq compliance challenges
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. reports another year of losses and flags substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For 2025, the company recorded a net loss of about $3.7 million, compared with $4.5 million in 2024, and an accumulated deficit of $58.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents were only about $88,000 at December 31, 2025, so TOMI is relying on operations, a $20 million equity line of credit, and $3.1 million of 12% convertible notes to fund the business. At the same time, TOMI highlights growing commercial traction for its SteraMist iHP disinfection platform, including OEM partnerships, a roughly $3 million SIS/CES integration pipeline, and expansion across life sciences, healthcare, food safety, and commercial markets, while also disclosing Nasdaq listing deficiencies on minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern and liquidity risk: 2025 net loss of approximately $3.7 million, cash of about $88,000, and a $58.1 million accumulated deficit led management to state substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
- Levered, dilutive funding structure: About $3.1 million of 12% convertible notes and reliance on a $20 million equity line concentrate financing on instruments that can pressure cash flow and dilute shareholders if converted or drawn.
- Nasdaq listing deficiencies: The company is out of compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule and the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, creating a risk of delisting if compliance is not regained.
Insights
Going concern warning, tight liquidity, and Nasdaq deficiencies heighten risk despite commercial progress.
TOMI Environmental ended 2025 with a net loss of $3.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $58.1 million, and cash of only $88,000. Management explicitly notes substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the statements’ issuance.
To bridge funding needs, TOMI is using 12% convertible notes totaling about $3.1 million in principal and has an equity line of credit of up to $20 million. The effectiveness of these tools depends on trading price and volume for the stock, creating financing and dilution risk.
Operationally, TOMI reports a roughly $3 million integration pipeline, with about $1.6 million awarded and $800,000 recognized, plus additional identified opportunities. However, concurrent Nasdaq deficiencies on the $1.00 bid-price rule and the $2.5 million equity requirement under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) add listing risk that could affect liquidity of the shares if not resolved.

PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. ("TOMI," "we," "our," or the "Company") is a global provider of disinfection and decontamination solutions, offering environmentally friendly products and services for indoor air and surface treatment. Our flagship product line, SteraMist uses our patented Binary Ionization Technology (“BIT”) to deliver a low-concentration (7.8%) hydrogen peroxide-based fog or mist that effectively treats all indoor environments and surface areas.
Developed under a grant from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”), SteraMist generates ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (“iHP”) through a high-voltage atmospheric cold plasma arc, converting hydrogen peroxide solution into submicron hydroxyl radical particles. This process achieves a 6-log (99.9999%) or greater kill rate against a broad spectrum of pathogens, leaving only oxygen and humidity as by-products. We maintain U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) registration for our BIT solution, along with applicable regulatory approvals in all 50 states, Washington D.C., Canada, and approximately 40 other countries.
We serve four primary market divisions: Life Sciences, Hospital-Healthcare, Food Safety, and Commercial. Within such industries, our revenue is derived from equipment sales, BIT Solution consumables, corporate decontamination services, and Installation/Operational/Performance Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) services.
Our mission: Innovating for a Safer World®.
2025 Highlights
While 2025 presented revenue headwinds, the year was marked by significant commercial momentum, new market entries, product validation across all four divisions, and a strong exit pipeline. The following summarizes key announcements and milestones during fiscal year 2025:

On October 1, 2025, we announced the purchase of SteraMist iHP equipment and BIT Solution totaling $175,000 by Trauma and Casualty Team (T.A.C.T.) franchises, a premier provider of decontamination services operating 18 franchises across the United States. T.A.C.T.'s adoption of SteraMist technology represents a key milestone in the Company's commercial growth strategy.
On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an equity line of credit (“ELOC”) pursuant to which the Company has the option to sell, from time to time, up to $20,000,000 shares of its common stock over a 24-month period. The ELOC provides the Company with flexible access to capital on an as-needed basis, subject to applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
On November 10, 2025, we showcased our SIS platform at the AALAS 76th National Meeting in Long Beach, California, a key lead generation event for our animal research vertical.
On November 26, 2025, we announced a custom integration pipeline valued at approximately $3 million, with ten active projects across our SIS and CES platforms. Strategic OEM partnerships with ESCO, Steelco, PBSC, Nuaire, and Getinge are driving platform growth and broader distribution.
On December 18, 2025, we secured a signed purchase order valued at approximately $500,000 from a global biopharmaceutical leader for the integration of SteraMist iHP into passthrough fill boxes used in sterile manufacturing.
On December 22, 2025, we announced the adoption of SteraMist iHP by a leading Cell and Gene Therapy (“CGT”) manufacturer for a commercial-scale pharmaceutical facility, including full IQ/OQ qualification and whole-facility iHP Corporate Service fogging of manufacturing suites, QC labs, and support spaces.
We are actively pursuing additional EPA labels and await further acceptance of our food safety label submitted in mid-2025, while preparing to file for a fifth label based on the above referenced studies conducted with Plum Island. Sales of our BIT Solution have remained stable, but we are fulfilling open orders and automatic shipments for customers, with a notable increase in demand from food safety clients. The FDA's late 2025 announcement, along with ongoing individual customer studies, has enhanced our visibility and sales in the Food Safety sector. While we face challenges with some international registrations, we are committed to overcoming these hurdles, which we believe will ultimately drive sales growth for TOMI. Additionally, we continue to invest in safety and compliance recognitions, such as Avetta and ISN, which are increasingly becoming prerequisites for many of our integration projects.
Regarding the referenced $3 million pipeline for integration projects on November 26, 2025, which encompasses our SIS platform, Hybrid, and CES offerings, approximately $1.6 million has been awarded, with $800,000 recognized since the announcement. While the SIS and iHP Passthrough was a success, we have since started our second project with OEM partner, PBSC. These projects vary in scope, including manufacturing, installation, and validation requirements, which may extend over multiple quarters depending on customer schedules. We anticipate the remaining pipeline to be awarded in the first half of 2026. Additionally, we have identified an extra $1.7 million in projected integration pipeline from bids written specific for iHP technology and from our existing customer and contractor relationships. This of course does not include our entire integration pipeline which stands at $10 million.
The Science Behind the Technology
BIT technology was initially developed in response to weaponized anthrax spore attacks. It aerosolizes and activates a 7.8% hydrogen peroxide solution through an atmospheric cold plasma arc, producing a fine aqueous mist (0.3–3 μm) with a high concentration of hydroxyl radicals (“OH”). These radicals damage pathogens via oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, rendering DNA and RNA inactive and causing complete cellular disruption.
SteraMist BIT was EPA-registered (90150-2) in June 2015 as the first equipment-plus-solution combination hospital-healthcare disinfectant. Our EPA label supports claims against Staphylococcus, MRSA, Salmonella, H1N1, C. difficile spores, Norovirus, and Emerging Viral Pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 variants. In 2021, our 0.35% hydrogen peroxide product received separate EPA registration (90150-3). In 2022, SteraMist was added to the EPA’s List Q for rare and novel viruses. GLP efficacy data supports all label claims.

Our products and services are offered through direct sales, independent representatives, and a global network of distributors and certified service providers operating under the SteraMist Pro Certified (“SPC”) program.
Industries and Market Segments
Our operations are organized around four divisions, each targeting specific regulatory and operational requirements:
Life Sciences
The life sciences sector was among the first to adopt SteraMist iHP, recognizing the limitations of traditional vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) and harsh chemical gaseous methods. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (“CDMOs”), and research institutions require fully automated, validated decontamination with minimal downtime. Our CES, Hybrid, and SIS product lines are specifically designed to address these requirements, with all installations undergoing full IQ/OQ/PQ validation. The onshoring of pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly in Virginia with commitments from Merck, Eli Lilly, and AstraZeneca, positions us favorably for expanded adoption in the near term.
Hospital-Healthcare
Healthcare-associated infections (“HAIs”) affect 7–10% of hospitalized patients globally each year, creating significant demand for advanced disinfection. TOMI targets this market by providing rapid-turnaround disinfection for operating rooms, pharmacies, ambulances, and emergency environments. We are expanding our presence through partnerships with group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) such as Vizient and through targeted educational campaigns aimed at facility managers and infection control professionals.
Food Safety
Food safety regulations require rigorous sanitation across all stages of food handling and processing. The FDA’s 2025 final rule broadening the permitted use of hydrogen peroxide as a direct food additive significantly enhances our positioning in this sector, opening the door for iHP application on food contact surfaces and food products themselves, particularly in the ready-to-eat (“RTE”) segment. In 2025, we experienced significant growth in interest within the Food Safety industry, as we conducted a diverse array of specialized tests in collaboration with industry stakeholders. We are committed to not only expanding our project pipeline but also enhancing awareness of our technology and building relevant relationships in the field, which offers effective application methods in an industry adapting to a new standard of cleanliness.
Commercial
Our Commercial division serves aviation, hospitality, education, government, emergency services, and restoration sectors through a growing network of certified service providers. We have established relationships with large franchise networks including T.A.C.T. (18 U.S. locations), Steri-Clean (approximately 60 franchises), and others. SteraMist’s unique combination of rapid deployment, no preconditioning requirements, and minimal PPE needs makes it well-suited for high-frequency commercial use.
As we advance our efforts to educate various sectors about the implementation of SteraMist iHP and the adoption of our handheld equipment in schools, transportation, and hospitality as standard protocols, we are witnessing an integration of our service providers, primarily from the commercial division, with our Life Sciences division. This convergence includes providers specializing in lab clean-up and Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) certification, who are increasingly adopting iHP technology, specifically the SIS platform of products. This development fosters competition among them, as our iHP technology offers a faster efficient solution that can effectively replace two steps in a traditional three-step cleaning process, enabling these providers to enhance productivity in their daily operations and offer iHP over the traditional solutions the industry has become accustomed to.

Research and Development
Our research and development efforts focus on improving, extending, and applying our proprietary iHP technology across new markets and use cases. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $290,000 and $291,000, respectively.
In the past, we have made significant strides in expanding our regulatory registrations and efficacy study portfolio to capitalize on new and existing market opportunities. Notably, we completed a second 24-month stability study for our 7.8% BIT Solution, which met EPA requirements and confirmed safe shipping and storage. Our 0.35% hydrogen peroxide product received EPA registration for greenhouse and pre- and post-harvest applications, while we pursued further studies on food safety pathogens. Additionally, we've received validation from the Department of Homeland Security's Plum Island Animal Disease Center for iHP's effectiveness against foot-and-mouth disease virus and African Swine Fever, while also working on new labels to support the cannabis industry and researching best practices for minimizing emergency responder exposure to synthetic opioids and exploring iHP as an alternative to ethylene oxide (EtO) in sterilization applications.
In 2025, we initiated several key projects that we continue to advance in the following years. Notably, we began drafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for live-use applications of iHP in bee hives and continued our international studies to comply with necessary regulations and timelines. We focused on developing SOPs for turnout gear for firefighters, assessing both carcinogen proofing and material compatibility to identify optimal iHP application methods for this group. Additionally, we addressed industry-specific requirements for food safety, particularly concerning Listeria monocytogenes, with positive results from onsite demonstrations and tests on food preservation involving cheese, strawberries, and cut cantaloupe. We also maintained our collaboration with universities to develop protocols for formal studies targeting C. auris, prions, and pinworms, while planning to conduct USP 1072 studies for our Life Sciences division. Lastly, we recognized the need for more data on live applications to tackle the underrepresented public health issue of mycotoxins globally.
We conduct annual self-audits of all SOPs and product compliance processes.

Some competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and substantially greater financial and marketing resources.
SteraMist iHP achieves a 6-log (99.9999%) or greater kill rate, compared to 99.9% (sanitizing) or 99.99% (disinfection) achieved by most household and industrial disinfectants. Per EPA Registration Nos. 90150-2 and 90150-3.
SteraMist’s key competitive advantages include:
| · | Ready-to-use formula — no mixing required, |
| · | Reaches above, below, and around surfaces beyond traditional sprays and wipes, |
| · | No preconditioning of space required, |
| · | No wipe, no rinse — leaves no residues, |
| · | Gentle on electronics and sensitive equipment, |
| · | Minimal PPE requirements per EPA label, |
| · | Does not contain heavy metals, dyes, fragrances, silver ions, or peracetic acid, |
| · | Only by-products are oxygen and humidity, |
| · | Fully validated to GMP/GLP standards with downloadable audit reporting, |
| · | Mobile and portable for rapid deployment; also available as permanent installed systems, |
| · | DOT transport advantage: our BIT Solution’s 7.8% hydrogen peroxide concentration falls below the DOT threshold prohibiting air shipment of products containing greater than 8% hydrogen peroxide — competitors relying on higher-concentration formulations must ship by rail, road, or sea, adding cost and lead time. |
We go to market through a direct sales force, independent representatives, and exclusive and non-exclusive international distributors, supported by the SteraMist Pro Certified (SPC) service provider program and strategic alliances with construction companies, engineers, and design firms that facilitate CES and SIS adoption in new facility construction and renovation projects. This multi-channel approach, combined with our qualification services and growing OEM partnerships, creates a durable competitive position that is difficult to replicate quickly.
Manufacturing
We outsource the manufacturing and blending of our SteraMist® equipment and BIT™ Solution. Equipment is manufactured by ISO 9001 registered companies with facilities in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, California, and Australia. Our BIT Solution is blended by an EPA-approved blender using a single active ingredient: 7.8% hydrogen peroxide. TOMI maintains full creative control throughout design and manufacturing, and neither our manufacturer nor blender may modify products without our written consent.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property portfolio is a key strategic asset supporting our global market position. We hold or have pending over 25 utility or design patents worldwide, protecting both the methods and systems underlying our SteraMist® BIT™ platform, with U.S. patents extending through 2038. Recent additions include patents for backpack decontamination units, mobile carts, and applicator technology in the United States, along with new protection in Singapore, Korea, and other jurisdictions.
We hold more than 30 design patents for decontamination devices, covering applicators, chambers, carts, and surface-mounted systems, across major global markets including the United States, China, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. We continue to pursue applications in Europe, China, and Australia for further additional applications of SteraMist BIT, including food decontamination and iHP-enabled “immune building” biosecurity systems.
In addition, we maintain over 200 trademarks registered or pending in multiple classes across the globe, covering chemical formulations, sterilization equipment, services, and training.
Government Regulation
Our business is subject to government regulations in all countries in which we operate. In the United States, the EPA, FDA, and other authorities regulate the development, manufacture, sale, and distribution of our products. We believe we are currently compliant in all material respects with applicable regulatory requirements, and to date, every registration we have applied for has been accepted.

Human Capital
As of March 20, 2026, we employ 20 full-time executive, operational, and administrative personnel. Given our size, we operate with a lean, cross-functional team in which individual contributors carry significant responsibility across sales, service delivery, engineering, and regulatory affairs. We believe our relations with our employees are good and that our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel is supported by our differentiated technology platform and mission-driven culture.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business routinely encounters and attempts to address risks, some of which will cause our future results to differ, sometimes materially, from those originally anticipated. Below, we have described our present view of certain important risks. The risk factors set forth below are not the only risks that we may face or that could adversely affect us. If any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If this were to occur, the trading price of our securities could decline significantly. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our other filings with the SEC.
Risk Related to Our Company and Business
We have a history of losses and may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.
We generated a net loss of approximately $3.7 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also had an accumulated deficit of $58.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Prior to 2020, we did not generate any profit from our business operations. The increase in our revenue and net income during 2020 was primarily due to a significant increase in demand for our products as protective measures against the spread of the COVID-19 disease during the pandemic. Such demand subsided in 2021 as the pandemic gradually came under control, which caused us to incur a net loss in 2021 and such trend has continued. In addition, if we decrease our headcount and expenses, we may be unable to support our continued product development and planned growth, and we may not be able to achieve profitability.

Our SteraMist® family of products currently accounts for the majority of our revenue, and our success is almost completely dependent on the success of our SteraMist® brand.
Our SteraMist® family of products is currently our primary product offering, and we are completely dependent on its success. Successfully commercializing products such as ours is a complex and uncertain process. Our commercialization efforts will depend on the efforts of our management and sales team, our third-party manufacturers and suppliers and general economic conditions, among other factors, including the following:
| · | the effectiveness of our marketing and sales efforts in the United States and internationally, |
| · | our third-party manufacturers and suppliers’ ability to manufacture and supply the components of our SteraMist® products in a timely manner, in accordance with our specifications, and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, and to remain in good standing with regulatory agencies, |
| · | the availability, perceived advantages, relative cost, relative safety, and relative efficacy of alternative and competing disinfection products, |
| · | our ability to obtain, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights in and to our SteraMist® products, |
| · | the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments, and our need to enhance our SteraMist® products and/or develop new products to maintain market share in response to such competing technologies or market developments, |
| · | our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, if needed to support the commercialization of our SteraMist® products; and |
| · | our ability to achieve and maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements applicable to our SteraMist® products. |
We have hired and trained additional sales personnel. Despite this growth in sales personnel, we expect that our additional sales force will require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach in any individual vertical and or territory. Furthermore, the use of our products will often require or benefit from direct support from us. If our sales representatives do not achieve the productivity levels, we expect them to reach, our revenue will not grow at the rate we expect, and our financial performance will suffer.
We do not have long-term customer contracts, and our sales history or backlog cannot be relied upon as an indicator of our future sales.
We do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers, and our sales history or backlog cannot be relied upon as a future indicator of our revenues. Our contracts and purchase commitments with customers may be canceled under certain circumstances. As a result, we are exposed to competitive price pressures on every order, and our agreements with customers do not provide assurance of future sales. Our customers are not required to make minimum purchases and may cease purchasing our products at any time without penalty. As such, our unfilled orders and previously completed sales should not be relied on as a measure of anticipated demand or future revenue.
Our agreements with restoration industry specialists are not exclusive, which may allow our competitors to sell their products and services to such specialists.
Our agreements with restoration industry specialists under our TOMI Service Network program, which allows certain restoration specialists to use and sell our products, are not exclusive. This lack of exclusivity allows our competitors to sell products to the same restoration specialists, which could reduce our sales if our competitors’ products are used in lieu of our products. Additionally, the use of our and our competitors’ products by a restoration specialist may create market confusion between our products and the products of our competitors, which may adversely affect our brand reputation and business.
Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of our technology that has not yet been achieved in the Hospital-Healthcare market.
Our BIT technology as a Hospital-Healthcare disinfectant has been proven successful in reducing infections in hospital ICU, BIT having received full Hospital registration for Clostridium difficile spores from the EPA in mid-2017. Our sales are dependent upon broad market acceptance of our technology that replaces long-standing failing manual cleaning techniques such as quaternary ammonium compounds and bleach for disinfection, with our no-touch mechanical process. The failure to obtain broad market acceptance inevitably leads to substantially increased lead times for sales until our prospective customers, particularly in the Hospital-Healthcare market, are accustomed to the use of newer mechanical technology. The inability to timely meet our sales goals could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net loss was approximately $3.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the cash used in operations was approximately $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $88,000 of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $58.1 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. We intend to fund ongoing activities by utilizing our current cash on hand, the cash generated from operations, and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financing. We continue to pursue various options to raise capital to enhance our cash position, including more recently by issuing convertible notes to accredited investors.
In November 2025, we entered into an ELOC, pursuant to which we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $20,000,000 of shares of our common stock over a 24-month period subject to certain conditions. However, the availability of ELOC and our ability to sell stock depends substantially on the trading price and volume of our stock, which may materially limit our ability to utilize the ELOC to raise capital.
| 11 |
| Table of Contents |
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us, as our ability to raise capital may be affected by various factors, including general market conditions, volatility of our stock price, investor interests and expectations, and our financial performance.
We are subject to a variety of risks associated with doing business internationally.
We sell our products internationally through exclusive and non-exclusive sales representatives and distributors in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. As a result, we are subject to a number of risks and complications associated with international sales and other operations. These include: risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations; requirements or preferences for domestic products or solutions, which could reduce demand for our products; difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems; unexpected legal or regulatory changes; enhanced credit risks in certain countries and emerging market regions; significant variations in tax rates among the countries in which we do business, and tax withholding obligations in respect of our earnings; exchange controls or other trade restrictions including, constraints on our supply chain and the industries in which we operate; customs clearance and shipping delays; general economic and political conditions in countries where end users of our products are situated; natural disasters, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism and political unrest, outbreak of disease, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions affecting our ability to sell our products; difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights or weaker intellectual property right protections in some countries; and difficulties associated with compliance with a variety of laws and regulations governing international trade. The recent imposition by the United States of tariffs, sanctions or other restrictions on goods exported from the United States or imported into the United States, or countermeasures imposed in response to such government actions, could increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell products globally, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We are subject to risks associated with international conflicts, geopolitical instability, and related economic disruptions.
Our business and operations may be adversely affected by geopolitical events and international conflicts, including armed conflicts, wars, terrorism, and political instability in regions where we operate or where our customers, suppliers, or distributors are located. Such events can cause significant disruptions to global supply chains, energy markets, financial markets, and international trade, any of which could adversely affect our ability to source products, serve international customers, and operate our business.
Current and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the imposition of economic sanctions, trade restrictions, and countermeasures by affected nations, have contributed to elevated energy costs, supply chain disruptions, and financial market volatility. The duration, scope, and ultimate resolution of these conflicts and related diplomatic and economic measures cannot be predicted, and the consequences for global commerce, energy supply, and financial stability remain uncertain.
These and any related geopolitical events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
If our procedures to ensure compliance with export control laws are ineffective, our business could be harmed.
Our sales to foreign entities are subject to far-reaching and complex export control laws and regulations. Violations of those laws and regulations could have material negative consequences for us including large fines, criminal sanctions, prohibitions on participating in certain transactions and government contracts, sanctions on other companies if they continue to do business with us and adverse publicity.
Climate-related risks, evolving environmental regulations, and increased focus on environmental, social and governance matters could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations and those of our customers and suppliers may be subject to increased regulatory requirements related to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental sustainability. Federal, state and foreign governmental authorities continue to consider and implement new or more stringent environmental regulations, including potential requirements relating to carbon emissions, energy consumption, chemical usage, and product lifecycle impacts. Compliance with any such new or expanded regulations could increase our operating costs, require modification of our manufacturing or distribution processes, or require changes to our product formulations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Also, natural disasters, extreme weather events, floods, droughts and other disruptions — could adversely affect our operations, our suppliers' ability to deliver materials and components in a timely manner, and our customers' ability to operate their facilities. Such disruptions could reduce demand for our products, impair our supply chain, or require us to incur additional costs to maintain business continuity.
| 12 |
| Table of Contents |
Separately, investors, customers, regulators and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. We may face pressure to adopt or report on ESG initiatives, set emissions reduction targets, or meet third-party sustainability standards. Failure to meet evolving ESG expectations, whether or not mandated by regulation, could harm our reputation, make it more difficult for us to attract or retain customers and employees, or adversely affect our access to capital. Responding to ESG demands may also require us to divert management attention and incur costs that could adversely affect our operating results. We cannot predict the ultimate scope or timing of future climate-related or ESG regulatory requirements, and our failure or inability to comply with applicable requirements or meet stakeholder expectations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our reliance upon third-party contractors, suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture of our products increases the risk that we will not have enough of our products or such quantities at an acceptable cost, and reduces our control over the manufacturing process.
We rely upon third parties to supply us with our products. We outsource the manufacturing of our SteraMist® line of equipment to a single manufacturing company and use contract manufacturers to build our BIT-based systems, as we do not maintain our own manufacturing facilities. Our dependence on a single manufacturer for our primary equipment line means that any disruption to that relationship, whether due to financial difficulties, operational failures, loss of key personnel, or disagreements over terms, could have an immediate and material impact on our ability to fulfill customer orders and generate revenue. If we fail to maintain our relationship with our current primary manufacturer, we may not be able to effectively commercialize and market our products due to risks including increased product costs, limited inventory, and the possible misappropriation of our proprietary information, such as our trade secrets and know-how.
Alternative production facilities may not be available in the event of a disruption. The number of third-party suppliers with the necessary manufacturing capability, regulatory expertise, and quality standards to produce our products is limited. Arranging for and qualifying an alternative supplier would be expensive and time-consuming, potentially requiring many months, during which period we could be unable to fulfill customer orders. This risk is amplified by the fact that a significant portion of our revenue is concentrated among a small number of customers; a supply disruption affecting our ability to deliver products could therefore have a disproportionate impact on our revenue and customer relationships. Additionally, supply chain disruptions, component shortages, and input cost inflation, including those attributable to U.S. tariff policy and countermeasures imposed by foreign governments, have previously impacted our suppliers' ability to deliver products to us in a timely manner and at acceptable costs, and may continue to do so.
Because of our reliance upon third parties to supply us with our products, we do not have control over the manufacturing process and are dependent on such suppliers for compliance with all regulations applicable to our products. This includes compliance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and EPA registration requirements that govern the manufacture of SteraMist® and its active ingredients. Third-party suppliers may fail, or be unable, to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, which could result in sanctions being imposed on us or our suppliers, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, seizures or recalls, and operating restrictions, any of which could significantly and adversely harm our business and results of operations. The loss of an EPA registration or a supplier's regulatory standing could require us to cease sales of affected products until the matter is resolved, which could take an extended period of time.
If we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand or effectively manage our inventory, our results of operations could be materially harmed.
We rely on demand forecasts to place orders with our third-party suppliers. Accurately predicting demand is inherently uncertain and may be adversely affected by factors outside our control, including competitive product introductions, shifts in customer preferences and changes in general economic conditions.
If we overestimate demand, we may accumulate excess inventory, resulting in inventory write-downs, write-offs, or obsolescence charges that would reduce our gross margins and adversely affect our financial results. As of December 31, 2025, our reserve for obsolete inventory was $500,000, compared to $1.1 million as of December 31, 2024, resulting from write-offs of inventory identified as obsolete, damaged, or no longer saleable during the year. Future demand shortfalls or product changes could require additional reserves or write-downs.
If we underestimate demand, we may be unable to fulfill customer orders in a timely manner, which could be potentially damaging to our customer relationships. In periods of rapidly increasing demand, our third-party suppliers may lack the capacity necessary to scale production quickly, further limiting our ability to meet demand.
Either outcome could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, gross margins, and results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property.
Our commercial success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain, maintain, defend, file new or enforce our existing patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights covering our technologies and products throughout the world. We may, however, be unable to adequately preserve such rights due to several reasons, including the following:
| · | our rights could be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, breached or infringed upon, |
| · | we may not have sufficient resources to adequately prosecute or protect our intellectual property right, |
| · | upon expiration of our patents, certain of our key technology may become widely available; or |
| · | third parties may be able to develop or obtain patents for similar or competing technology. |
Although we devote resources to the establishment and protection of our patents and trademarks, the actions we have taken or will take in the future may not be adequate to prevent violation of our patents, trademarks and proprietary rights by others or prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as an alleged violation of their patents, trademarks and proprietary rights. In the future, litigation may be necessary to enforce our trademarks or proprietary rights, and we may be forced to defend ourselves against claimed infringement or the rights of others. Any such litigation could result in adverse determinations that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, we rely in part upon unpatented trade secrets, unpatented know-how, and continuing technological innovation which may not yet, or may never be, patented, to develop and maintain our competitive position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, third party manufacturers, and consultants. We also have agreements with our employees and consultants that oblige them to assign their inventions to us. It is possible that technology relevant to our business will be independently developed by a person that is not a party to such an agreement. In addition, if the employees and consultants who are parties to these agreements breach or violate the terms of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets through such breaches or violations. To the extent that our commercial partners, collaborators, employees and consultants use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Further, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors, which would harm our business.
The risk of loss of the Company’s intellectual property, trade secrets or other sensitive business information or disruption of operations could negatively impact the Company’s financial results.
The Company has sensitive information, including intellectual property, trade secrets, and other sensitive, business critical information as well as on-premises and cloud-based business applications critical to conducting business. In addition, our research and development facility uses modern computer systems. Cyber-incidents affecting the Company, its supply chain or customers could compromise confidential, business critical information, cause a disruption in the Company’s operations, harm the Company's reputation, or endanger the environment if the Company, its suppliers or customers do not effectively prevent, detect and recover from these or other security breaches. While the Company has not encountered cyber security challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial condition it may be the target of cyber security related incidents.
Although management believes the Company has not experienced any cyber security related incident or losses to date related to these cyber security incidents, there can be no assurance that such losses will not be suffered in the future. The Company seeks to actively manage the risks within its control that could lead to business disruptions and cyber security incidents through a comprehensive cyber security program. As cyber security threats present themselves, the Company may be required to expend significant resources to enhance its control environment, processes, practices, and other protective measures. Despite these efforts, such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may be unable to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Our ability to protect our intellectual property rights internationally is also subject to significant uncertainty. As part of our growth strategy, we are continuing to expand our operations internationally. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. To the extent that we have obtained or are able to obtain patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights in any foreign jurisdiction, it may be difficult to stop the infringement of our patents, trademarks or the misappropriation of other intellectual property rights. For example, some foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, some countries limit the availability of certain types of patent rights and enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide only limited or no benefit. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Accordingly, efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate. In addition, future changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in the United States and foreign countries may affect our ability to obtain adequate protection for our technology and products and the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
We face significant competition in our industry, some of which have longer operating histories, more established products or greater resources than we have currently.
The decontamination and environmental infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive. The competition includes remediators and disinfection/decontamination companies such as Steris, Bioquell (Eco-lab) and Clorox, various miscellaneous hydrogen peroxide companies, ultraviolet companies and hundreds of quad ammonia-chemical companies. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, a greater ability to provide similar products and services at a lower cost and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than us to develop new products and commercialize existing products. We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our markets include name recognition, customer familiarity with products, effective marketing, competitive pricing strategies and the ability to receive referrals based on client confidence in the service. There are no significant barriers of entry that could keep potential competitors from opening similar facilities. Our ability to compete successfully in the industry will depend, in large part, upon our ability to market and sell our indoor decontamination and infectious disease control products and services. We may not be able to compete successfully in the remediation industry. Further, if one or more competitors successfully develops a decontamination product that is more effective, better tolerated, results in a better customer experience, is easier to use or otherwise more attractive than our products, our ability to continue to commercialize our products could be significantly and adversely affected due to a lack of ability to compete, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

| Table of Contents |
If the quality of our products do not meet the expectations of our customers, then our brand and reputation or our business could be adversely affected.
In the course of conducting our business, we must adequately address quality issues that may arise with our products, including defects in third-party components and inventory. We may not be able to eliminate or mitigate occurrences of these issues and associated liabilities. In addition, even in the absence of quality issues, we may be subject to claims and liability if the performance of products do not meet the expectations of our customers. If the quality of our products does not meet the expectations of customers, then our brand and reputation, and our ability to receive referral customer business, could be adversely affected.
Our long-term growth depends, in part, on our ability to enhance, develop, market and sell new products, and if we fail to do so we may be unable to compete effectively.
It is important to our business and our long-term growth that we continue to enhance and develop new products. We intend to continue to invest in research and development activities focused on improvements and enhancements to our existing intellectual property and product offerings. Our development goals include the development and commercialization of a variety of sanitizing robotic devices and backpack units. Despite our reasonable efforts, it may not be possible for us to innovate in a way to keep us competitive with other companies due to financial and time constraints which will negatively impact on our business.
The development and initial production and enhancement of the decontamination systems we produce is often accompanied by design and production delays and related costs. If we are unable to introduce new products on our anticipated timeframe or financial cost, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer due to failing to remain competitive in our market.
We have a limited management team size which may reduce our ability to effectively manage our business operations as it grows.
Despite our current hiring efforts for non-management employees and redefining job descriptions, we have a limited management team size. This limited management team may reduce our ability to effectively manage our business as it grows or responds to significant demand from customers. As we expand, we expect to increase the size of our management team. However, our management team may not be able to adequately manage our business, and any failure to do so could lead to a general negative impact to our business.
Our operations, and those of our suppliers, are subject to a variety of business continuity hazards and risks, any of which could interrupt production or operations or otherwise adversely affect our performance and results.
We are subject to business continuity hazards and other risks, including natural disasters, utility and other mechanical failures, labor difficulties, inability to obtain necessary licenses, permits or registrations, disruption of communications, data security and preservation, disruption of supply or distribution, safety regulation and labor difficulties. The occurrence of any of these or other events might disrupt or shut down operations, or otherwise adversely impact the production or profitability of a particular facility, or our operations as a whole. We may also be subject to certain liability claims in the event of an injury or loss of life, or damage to property and equipment, resulting from such events. Although we maintain property and casualty insurance, as well as other forms of insurance that we believe are customary for our industries, our insurance policies include limits and, as such, our coverage may be insufficient to protect against all potential hazards and risks incident to our business. Should any such hazards or risks occur, or should our insurance coverage be inadequate or unavailable, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations might be adversely affected.
Our products are subject to potential product liability claims which, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to significant risks for product liability claims if death, personal injury or property damage results from the use of our products. While we currently maintain insurance against product liability claims, we may experience material product liability losses in the future. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be available on terms that we accept, if at all, and our insurance coverage also may not adequately cover liabilities that we incur. A successful claim against us that exceeds our insurance coverage level or that is not covered by insurance, or any product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, product liability and other claims can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Further, claims of this nature may cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and us. As a result, an unsuccessful defense of a product liability or other claim could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The misuse of our products may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations, fines or sanctions by regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business.
Customers, technicians, or service providers could use our products in a manner that is inconsistent with the products’ intended use. We train our marketing personnel and sales representatives to not promote our products for uses outside of the intended use, however, we cannot otherwise prevent all instances of misuse. Further, the marketing and sales representatives that we have hired to help meet the demand for our products may not have received proper training or have the working knowledge needed to adequately advise our customers how to safely use our products. Misuse of our products may cause an increased risk of injury to customers, which could harm our reputation in the marketplace, as well as lead to potential product liability lawsuits.
If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, or if the requirements of being a public company strain our resources, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our securities could decline.
As disclosed in Item 9A of this Form 10-K, we concluded that as of December 31, 2025, material weaknesses existed because: (I) there are limited resources within the finance and accounting departments with sufficient knowledge and experience in applying U.S. GAAP, including developing appropriate accounting estimates, reserves, and allowances in a timely manner and maintaining proper segregation of duties; and (II) policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision, and monitoring of our accounting and SEC reporting functions were either not fully designed and in place or not operating effectively. For a detailed description of the material weaknesses and the remediation actions taken during fiscal year 2025, please see Item 9A, Controls and Procedures.
While we have taken a number of remediation actions during fiscal year 2025, the material weaknesses had not been fully remediated as of December 31, 2025, and there is no guarantee that our remediation efforts will be successfully completed or that new control deficiencies will not arise. Failure to remediate these material weaknesses, or the identification of additional deficiencies, could result in inaccurate financial reporting, regulatory sanctions, or a loss of investor confidence in our financial statements.
In addition, as a public company subject to SOX, the Exchange Act, and Dodd-Frank, we incur significant legal, accounting, and compliance costs. These requirements consume substantial management time, may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified board members and executive officers, and could expose us to sanctions, regulatory investigations, or litigation if we fail to maintain effective controls. Our compliance with Section 404 of SOX requires ongoing investment as we work to complete the remediation of the identified material weaknesses.
Risk Related to Our Securities
Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our shares.
The stock markets generally have experienced, and will probably continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of the shares of many small-cap companies. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following:
| · | anticipated or actual fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results; |
| · | our success, or lack of success, in developing and marketing our products and services; |
| · | changes in general economic, political and market conditions in either of the regions in which we conduct our business; |
| · | changes in financial estimates by us or of securities or industry analysts; |
| · | the issuance of new or updated research reports by securities or industry analysts; |
| · | the announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors; |
| · | the announcement of new customers, partners or suppliers; |
| · | the ability to collect our outstanding accounts receivable; |
| · | changes in our executive leadership; |
| · | regulatory developments in our industry affecting us, our customers or our competitors; competition; |
| · | actual or purported “short squeeze” trading activity; and |
| · | the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of common stock, including sales of common stock following exercises of outstanding warrants. |

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock since inception. The continued operation and expansion of our business will require substantial funding. Accordingly, we currently intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in the business and we do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends on shares of our common stock at this time. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Accordingly, realization of a gain on your investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur.
We have a substantial number of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock outstanding, which could give rise to additional issuances of our common stock and potential dilution of ownership to existing shareholders.
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding convertible notes, options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and restricted stock units representing approximately 6.0 million potential shares of our common stock. Additionally, 66,666 RSUs remain unvested and will result in automatic share issuance upon vesting through May 2027, with no exercise price. To the extent any of these securities are exercised, converted or vest, existing shareholders will experience dilution.
Our outstanding convertible notes impose financial obligations, carry risks of dilution upon conversion, and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding convertible notes payable with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.1 million, net of amortized debt discount of approximately $222,000, resulting in a carrying value of approximately $2.9 million on our balance sheet. These notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in equal monthly installments, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment. The notes mature on the fifth anniversary of their respective issuance dates.
The interest payments required under our convertible notes represent a recurring cash obligation that could strain our liquidity, particularly given our going concern conditions and our current cash position of approximately $88,000 as of December 31, 2025. Our failure to make required interest payments when due could constitute an event of default under the applicable securities purchase agreements, which could result in the acceleration of the outstanding principal balance and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
If the holders of our convertible notes elect to convert some or all of their notes into shares of our common stock at the $1.25 per share conversion price, existing shareholders would experience dilution. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding convertible notes were convertible into approximately 2,508,000 shares in the aggregate. Because our common stock has recently traded significantly below the $1.25 conversion price, voluntary conversion is currently unattractive to holders. However, if our stock price recovers above the conversion price, the likelihood of conversion and the resulting dilutive impact on existing shareholders would increase materially.
In addition, we have the right to require holders to convert the notes if our common stock maintains a closing bid price at or above $1.55 per share for any twenty trading days within a thirty consecutive trading day period. Given the recent trading price of our common stock, there is no assurance that such forced conversion conditions will be met within a timeframe sufficient to reduce our debt obligations. Furthermore, the existence of our outstanding convertible notes, and any future issuances of convertible debt, may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, as potential investors or lenders may view the conversion and dilution risk as an impediment to investment. Our inability to raise additional capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Substantial future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and, despite certain increases of trading volume from time to time, there have been periods when our common stock could be considered thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small. Equity or equity-related financing transactions that result in a large amount of newly issued shares that become readily tradable, or sales of significant numbers of shares by current shareholders, have placed, and in the future could place, downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition, during times of lower trading volume, a shareholder who desires to sell a large number of shares of common stock may need to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.

If our shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. In the event that the price of our stock falls, we may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.
In the future, we may also issue our securities if we need to raise additional capital or in connection with acquisitions. The number of shares of our common stock issued in connection with a financing or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock.
We may not be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards, which could limit shareholders’ ability to trade our common stock.
As a listed company on Nasdaq, we are required to meet certain financial, public float, bid price, and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock may be subject to delisting, which could materially impact its liquidity and make it more challenging for shareholders to buy and sell our shares.
We are currently subject to two concurrent Nasdaq deficiency proceedings. On November 17, 2025, we received a deficiency notice that our closing bid price had been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)) for 30 consecutive business days. We have until May 18, 2026 to regain compliance, which may include a potential reverse stock split subject to shareholder approval.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's total stockholders' equity of $588,504 is below the $2,500,000 minimum required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On November 21, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that, based on its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, which reported stockholders' equity of $2,206,482, the Company no longer complies with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and that the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. We submitted a compliance plan within the required 45-day period; if accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 days from November 21, 2025.
Both deficiencies are subject to concurrent review by Nasdaq. There is no guarantee that we will be able to regain compliance with either requirement within the applicable timeframes, and failure to do so may subject us to delisting proceedings.
We are a “smaller reporting company” under the U.S. federal securities laws, and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are a “smaller reporting company” under U.S. federal securities laws. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies. Investors may not find our common stock attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control of our company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended by laws as well as provisions of Florida law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders. These include: maintaining authorized but unissued shares of our capital stock that could be issued by our Board to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt; no provision for the use of cumulative voting for the election of directors; maintaining a staggered board, limiting the speed at which our shareholders may replace our entire Board, and limiting the ability of our shareholders to call special meetings.
In addition, Florida Business Corporation Act, or FBCA, § 607.0902 generally provides that shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds, without first obtaining the approval of our Board, will not possess any voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of our disinterested shareholders. Additionally, FBCA § 607.0901 requires that, subject to certain exceptions, any affiliated transaction with a shareholder that owns more than 15% of the voting shares of the corporation, referred to as an “interested shareholder,” receive the approval of either the corporation’s disinterested directors or a supermajority vote of disinterested shareholders, or, absent either such approval, that a statutory “fair price” be paid to the shareholders in the transaction. The shareholder vote requirement is in addition to any shareholder vote required under any other section of the FBCA or our articles of incorporation, as amended.

The concentration of our common stock ownership with our executive officers, directors and affiliates will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.
Our executive officers, directors and owners of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock and their respective affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate approximately 22.8% of our outstanding common stock as of March 11, 2026. This percentage includes outstanding shares of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrant and stock options that are vested and exercisable as of that date. These shareholders will therefore have significant influence over management and affairs and over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets, for the foreseeable future. This concentrated control will limit our shareholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our shareholders do not view as beneficial. This ownership could negatively affect the value of our common stock.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “2025 SPA”) with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to certain Investors in a private placement transaction, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in one or more closings up to an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 of Convertible Notes (the “2025 Notes”). Pursuant to the 2025 SPA and as of December 31, 2025, we sold and issued $535,000 in convertible promissory notes initially convertible into 428,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $2,465,000 remains available for issuance under the 2025 SPA, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The 2025 Notes mature and are due on the fifth anniversary of the respective issuance dates in 2030. The 2025 Notes bear simple interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in equal monthly installments. The 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $1.25 per share, which shall not exceed $1.55 per share. In addition, we can require the Investors to convert the 2025 Notes at the then current conversion price at any time after 90 days from the issue date if the Common Stock has a closing bid price of $1.55 per share or higher on any twenty (20) days within a thirty (30) day period of consecutive trading days, or if a “fundamental change” occurs (as defined in the 2025 SPA). The 2025 Notes are unsecured and senior to other indebtedness subject to certain exceptions. Interest expense related to the 2025 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $44,675.

Item 7. 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 relates to the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Highlights and Recent Events
Fiscal year 2025 was a year of meaningful commercial progress for TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Despite a revenue[DV1] decline driven primarily by the timing of large equipment purchases that occurred in the prior year, the Company advanced its strategic platform across multiple fronts: launching new product lines, securing landmark customers, establishing OEM partnerships with global manufacturers, and entering new markets including aerospace, aquaculture, cell and gene therapy. Our SteraMist® iHP™ technology is now protected by more than 30 utility and design patents through 2038 and is deployed in over 40 countries across our four divisions: Life Sciences, Hospital-Healthcare, Food Safety, and Commercial.
In a significant expansion of our technology platform into the medical device sector, the heart monitoring device project is nearing completion and is scheduled for Factory Acceptance Testing ("FAT") in the near term. This initiative — developed collaboratively with a strategic partner utilizing our SIS iHP product platform — reflects our ability to design and deploy iHP technology within highly regulated medical device environments and underscores our commitment to advancing healthcare through innovation. Upon successful FAT completion, we intend to submit our iHP device for U.S. market clearance through the 510(k) premarket notification pathway, a well-established regulatory route for medical devices of this classification. We view this milestone as a meaningful step in positioning iHP as a platform technology across the broader medical device industry, and we look forward to progressing this opportunity alongside our core decontamination business.
The SteraMist Integration System ("SIS"), launched in the second half of 2024, achieved its first commercial installation in Q2 2025 at a leading CDMO and has since been adopted across pharmaceutical isolators, biosafety cabinets, and OEM-integrated enclosures,reflecting the growing adoption of iHP as the preferred decontamination solution in advanced life sciences manufacturing environments. This momentum is underpinned by a powerful macro tailwind: announced U.S. onshoring investments in pharmaceutical manufacturing now exceed $370 billion in aggregate commitments from major drugmakers, driving sustained demand for validated decontamination systems that integrate seamlessly with new facility construction. By year-end, we had 10 active integration projects with a combined pipeline valued at approximately $3 million. In December 2025, we secured a signed purchase order of approximately $500,000 from a global biopharmaceutical leader for iHP integration into sterile manufacturing passthrough fill boxes, and a leading Cell and Gene Therapy manufacturer adopted SteraMist iHP as a commercial-scale pharmaceutical facility. We note that the conversion of certain CES projects to recognized revenue has been subject to timing delays, as pharmaceutical facility construction and capital deployment decisions in the United States were affected during 2025 by uncertainty surrounding tariff policy and its downstream impact on equipment costs, materials procurement, and supply chain planning. Management views this as a timing issue reflecting broader macroeconomic conditions rather than a change in underlying customer demand, and industry forecasters project that pharmaceutical manufacturing construction activity will recover and accelerate through 2026–2027 as policy clarity improves.

| Table of Contents |
Our OEM partnership strategy gained significant momentum during 2025. Partnerships with PBSC (formalized March 2025), ESCO, Steelco, Nuaire, and Getinge are embedding iHP directly into cleanroom enclosures, passthrough hatches, and biosafety cabinets at the point of manufacture, opening a scalable distribution channel that extends our reach without proportional increases in direct sales cost. In the Commercial division, T.A.C.T. franchises purchased $175,000 of SteraMist equipment and BIT Solution in Q4 2025, and our expanding relationships with franchise networks Steri-Clean (approximately 60 locations) are building a recurring BIT Solution revenue stream consistent with our razor-blade revenue model.
Regulatory developments during 2025 further validated and broadened our platform across multiple new verticals. In September 2025, the FDA expanded the permitted use of hydrogen peroxide as a direct food additive, significantly extending the application of SteraMist iHP to food contact surfaces and ready-to-eat food processing, a market where we have demonstrated efficacy against foot-and-mouth disease virus, African Swine Fever, and mycotoxins. In Q1, we deployed iHP at NASA's Johnson Space Center, marking our entry into aerospace, and in August we announced a new major customer in the eye health sector implementing iHP across two facilities. SteraMist was recognized as the 2025 "Disinfection and Decontamination Products Company of the Year" by Medtech Outlook, affirming the competitive differentiation of our technology across an expanding range of industries and applications.
Notwithstanding this commercial progress, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $3.7 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $4.5 million in 2024. Management continues to pursue additional financing through equity and convertible debt instruments, including the $20 million ELOC entered into with Hudson Global Ventures in November 2025, and remains focused on converting its strong commercial pipeline into recognized revenue in 2026. The financial results of operations are discussed in detail in the sections that follow.
The following overview summarizes key factors affecting the Company’s financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year and should be read in conjunction with the selected financial metrics presented below.

Revenue decreased $2.1 million, or 27%, to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $7.7 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of certain customer equipment purchases that occurred in the prior year period. Service revenue remained relatively consistent, reflecting ongoing demand for the Company’s decontamination and service solutions. The Company continues to engage with existing and new customers regarding installations and service engagements across its target markets.

Gross margin improved to 54.6% in 2025 from 46.0% in 2024, despite a 27% decline in revenue. The improvement was primarily driven by the Company recording an allowance for inventory reserve of approximately $1.1 million in 2024. Further details of the reserve movement are set out in Note 3. Excluding reserve movements, underlying gross margin was relatively stable year over year, with a modest decline reflecting reduced fixed cost absorption on lower overall sales volume.

Selling expenses decreased $353,000 (31%) to $775,000, driven by lower sales commissions, and less spend advertising and trade shows, consistent with the 34% decline in product sales volume during the year. General and administrative expenses decreased $588,000 (11%) to $4.5 million, primarily due to a significant reduction in credit loss expense to $267,000 in 2025 from $1.1 million in 2024, reflecting improved collections and accounts receivable management. Professional fees increased $146,000 (24%) and consulting fees increased $92,000 (41%), reflecting higher legal and advisory costs associated with public company compliance, Nasdaq deficiency proceedings, and strategic initiatives during the year. Research and development and depreciation and amortization were essentially flat year over year.

As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $88,000 and working capital of $1.0 million, compared to cash of $665,000 and working capital of $3.8 million at December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $3.7 million and used $1.2 million of cash in operating activities. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025 is $58.1 million.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months after the date these financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the going concern assessment.
The $2.7 million decline in working capital from $3.8 million to $1.0 million reflects the net loss incurred during the year and the Company's ongoing capital requirements. On the asset side, accounts receivable decreased $1.2 million on lower revenue, cash decreased $577,000, and inventories declined $652,000 following write-offs and demand-adjusted purchasing. On the liability side, accrued expenses increased $405,000, a $254,000 current obligation arose from the Agile Capital sale of future receipts facility entered into during the year, and deferred revenue increased $212,000 reflecting our deposit policy on customer orders. These increases in current liabilities were partially offset by a $444,000 reduction in accounts payable.
Management’s Plan to Address Going Concern
Management has evaluated the conditions that give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and has developed the following plan to address those conditions. Each element of this plan is subject to execution risk and there can be no assurance that it will be successfully implemented.
Shelf Registration Statement and Equity Line of Credit
Our $20 million ELOC with Hudson Global Ventures, LLC became fully operational upon the effectiveness of our Form S-3 registration statement on December 8, 2025, under which the Company is registered up to $50,000,000 of securities for offer and sale from time to time. We may, at our sole discretion, draw down between $25,000 and $2,000,000 per draw, subject to applicable exchange caps. In February 2026, we made our first draw generating gross proceeds of $94,130. Management believes this facility provides meaningful near-term liquidity, with capacity to provide up to approximately $4 million in the short term, subject to market conditions. Further details are provided in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
Capital Markets Access
Our effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement (File No. 333-291563) provides a registered platform to raise up to $50,000,000 of securities from time to time. We have engaged Bancroft Capital as an investment banking advisor to explore additional financing opportunities, including equity and equity-linked transactions with existing and new investors.
Convertible Note Management
We are evaluating options to reduce our outstanding convertible note obligations, including potential conversion into equity or repayment using proceeds from the Hudson Global equity line, either of which would reduce total debt and improve stockholders' equity. Details of our convertible notes are set out in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
Pipeline Conversion to Revenue
As of December 31, 2025, we had ten active SIS and CES integration projects with a combined contract value of approximately $3 million, including a $500,000 signed purchase order from a global biopharmaceutical leader received in December 2025. Our broader commercial sales pipeline of management-tracked opportunities exceeded $18 million at year-end, with quoted opportunities of approximately $11 million in progress. These figures represent potential future revenue and are not committed orders or guarantees of future performance. Conversion of this pipeline is a primary driver of our 2026 liquidity plan. Certain CES project conversions were delayed during 2025 by the tariff-driven slowdown in U.S. pharmaceutical facility capital decisions, which management views as a temporary, externally driven timing issue rather than a change in underlying demand.

| Table of Contents |
Sales Backlog and Revenue Visibility
Our sales backlog grew during 2025 to approximately $1.8 million, reflecting improved visibility into near-term revenue conversion and continued contribution from our recurring consumables and service revenue base.
Cost Management
We reduced total operating expenses by $731,000, or 10%, in 2025. We continue to actively manage controllable costs while preserving the technical and commercial capacity required to execute on our pipeline.
Customer Deposit Policy
Our customer deposit policy, implemented during 2025, requires deposits on equipment orders ahead of fulfilment. This policy reduces working capital exposure and is expected to generate incremental operating cash flow benefits in 2026 as it becomes fully embedded across our order intake process.
While management believes the actions described above provide a reasonable basis to address the going concern conditions, there can be no assurance that we will successfully execute this plan, that our pipeline will convert to revenue on the anticipated timeline, or that additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to execute this plan, we may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain operations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Debt and Contractual Obligations
Our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025 consists of: (i) $2,600,000 in principal of 12% convertible notes issued under our November 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, maturing November 2028; and (ii) $535,000 in principal of 12% convertible notes issued under our 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement, maturing in 2030. All notes are convertible into common stock at $1.25 per share (not to exceed $1.55 per share), are unsecured, and are senior to other indebtedness subject to certain exceptions. Total note principal outstanding is $3,135,000, with a net carrying value of $2,912,000 after amortized debt issuance costs. Annual cash interest on the outstanding principal at 12% is approximately $376,000. Full terms are disclosed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
In addition to our convertible notes, we have a $367,425 balance under our sale of future receipts agreement with Agile Capital Funding, subject to weekly repayments of $15,975. Our operating lease for our Frederick, Maryland headquarters requires annual rent of approximately $169,000 through April 2029. We have no off-balance-sheet financing arrangements, unconsolidated variable interest entities, or material guarantees.
A breakdown of our statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is provided below:

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an improvement of $243,000, or 17%, from $1,440,000 in 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by a $904,000 reduction in accounts receivable on lower revenue and an $800,000 decrease in inventory, reflecting our revised deposit policy on customer orders and disciplined inventory management implemented during the year. These inflows were partially offset by a $271,000 decrease in accounts payable. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization of $271,000, credit loss expense of $267,000, and equity-based compensation of $198,000, which also served to contain cash consumption relative to the reported net loss of $3.7 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $136,000 for the year ended December 31,2025, compared to $262,000 in 2024, reduction of $126,000. The improvement was driven primarily by the deferral of non-essential capital expenditures, with property and equipment additions of $5,000 in 2025 versus $108,000 in 2024. Patent and trademark capitalization was $130,000 essentially flat with $154,000 in 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $755,000 in 2025 compared to $28,000 in 2024. The improvement reflects two capital raises completed during the year: $535,000 raised through the issuance of 12% convertible promissory notes under the 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA), and $300,000 received through a sale of future receipts agreement with Agile Capital Funding, LLC, partially offset by $80,000 in repayments on that facility, an increase of $727,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.
The SEC defines critical accounting estimates as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and the most demanding of our judgment. We consider the following estimates to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Going Concern Assessment
The assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern is the most significant judgment reflected in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Under ASC 205-40, management is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. This evaluation requires management to consider all available information about the future, including the Company's projected cash flows, planned capital raising activities, anticipated operating improvements, and the probability and timing of successfully executing those plans.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a net loss of approximately $3.7 million and used approximately $1.2 million of cash in operations. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $88,000 of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.1 million. Based on these conditions, management concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of these financial statements. Management's conclusion is based on projected cash flows that assume successful execution of our capital raising plans, including continued drawdowns under our convertible note facilities and the potential utilization of the $20 million Equity ELOC with Hudson Global Ventures, LLC entered into in November 2025, as well as anticipated revenue growth from our active commercial pipeline. If our assumptions regarding capital availability, revenue timing or operating costs prove incorrect, the Company's liquidity position could deteriorate more rapidly than projected, and there can be no assurance that the going concern doubt will be resolved within the anticipated timeframe. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy the performance obligations.
We must use judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; (b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation for the allocation of transaction price under step (iv) above. Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in product revenues, and the associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs included in cost of revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from customers.
Product revenue includes sales from our standard and customized equipment, BIT Solution and accessories. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive. Service and training revenue includes sales from our high-level decontamination and service engagements, equipment validation and customer training, and is recognized as the agreed-upon services are rendered.
A growing portion of our revenue is derived from our SIS and CES, which may involve multiple performance obligations including equipment supply, installation, validation and ongoing service. For these arrangements, management exercises significant judgment in identifying and allocating the transaction price among the distinct performance obligations and in determining the point at which control transfers to the customer. Delays in project completion or customer acceptance for these arrangements can affect the timing of revenue recognition and contribute to variability in our quarterly results.
We also record estimated allowances for sales returns, determined by using a specific identification method based on subsequent return activity and historical averages. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an allowance of $47,844 and $227,000, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred revenue totaled approximately $424,000 and $212,000, respectively, representing contracted amounts for which performance obligations had not yet been satisfied. The increase in deferred revenue reflects growth in our SIS and CES project pipeline and the timing of project milestones. Changes in assumptions regarding the timing of project completion or customer acceptance could affect the amount and timing of revenue recognized in future periods.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. This is particularly the case for our SIS and CES, which may involve equipment supply, installation, validation services and ongoing maintenance components. Where a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the total transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price, estimated using observable market prices where available or using a cost-plus-margin approach where direct market evidence is not available.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers for products and services often dictate the terms and conditions of when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for those products and services. For standard equipment and BIT Solution sales, control transfers and revenue is recognized at the point of shipment, which is when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. For service and training arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are rendered. For SIS and CES arrangements involving installation and validation milestones, management exercises judgment in determining the point at which control transfers, which may be upon completion of installation, customer acceptance, or satisfaction of specific contractual milestones. The timing of these measures can affect the period in which revenue is recognized and contribute to variability in our quarterly results. We also record an estimated allowance for anticipated product returns, determined using a specific identification method based on subsequent return activity and historical average calculations.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence reserves, allowances for sales returns, the fair value of stock-based awards, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. We do not generally require collateral to support customer receivables. In accordance with ASC 326, Current Expected Credit Losses, we estimate and record expected credit losses over the entire life of our accounts receivable, considering historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, specific customer risk, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. We make a risk-based evaluation of collectability at the point of sale, which is further reviewed on both an individual and collective basis during each reporting period.
As of December 31, 2025, net accounts receivable totaled $689,153 compared to approximately $1,881,000 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects collections on prior-period balances as well as lower revenue levels in the current year. Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses, and changes in the creditworthiness of our customers, deterioration in economic conditions, or the loss of a significant customer relationship could result in allowance adjustments that materially affect our results of operations in a given period.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration, obsolescence, and anticipated future customer demand, and we record an allowance for estimated losses when facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventory items may not be usable or saleable. The determination of the appropriate reserve requires management to exercise judgment regarding expected future demand, the useful life of specific inventory items, and the potential for product design changes or regulatory developments that could render existing inventory obsolete.
As of December 31, 2025, our reserve for obsolete inventory was $500,000, compared to $1.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in the reserve reflects inventory disposals and adjustments to our demand estimates during the year. Inventories, net of reserves, totaled approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $3.6 million as of December 31, 2024. If actual demand for our products differs materially from our forecasts, or if changes in our product offerings render existing inventory obsolete, additional write-downs may be required.
Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
We assess long-lived assets, including property and equipment and acquired intangible assets, for potential impairment at the end of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment charge recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the asset's estimated fair value, which we determine using an income approach based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions in this model include projected revenues and operating expenses, long-term growth rates, and estimated discount rates. These assumptions are based on our historical experience, industry data, and management's expectations about future business conditions.
We noted no long-lived asset impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Management's impairment analysis considered the going concern conditions described above and concluded that projected undiscounted cash flows, based on our current operating plan and capital raising assumptions, continue to support the carrying values of our long-lived assets. Changes in our revenue outlook, discount rates or other key assumptions could result in impairment charges in future periods.
Convertible Notes and Debt Discount
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding convertible notes with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $3.1 million, net of amortized debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $222,000, resulting in a carrying value of approximately $2.9 million. Our convertible notes were issued under two separate securities purchase agreements — the 2023 SPA, under which $2.6 million of notes were issued, and the 2025 SPA, under which up to $3.0 million of additional notes may be issued, of which $535,000 had been issued as of December 31, 2025. The notes bear interest at 12% per annum, are convertible at the option of the holder at $1.25 per share and mature on the fifth anniversary of their respective issuance dates.
The conversion features embedded in the 2023 Notes and 2025 Notes are considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instruments and do not require bifurcation under ASC 815. No modifications to the terms of the existing notes occurred during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

| Table of Contents |
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and shares issued for services, are measured at their estimated fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense over the requisite service period. For stock options and warrant awards, fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions regarding the expected volatility of our common stock, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. We assume a dividend yield of zero, as we have not paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the applicable expected term.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized approximately $198,000 of stock-based compensation expense, including shares issued to directors and shares issued for services rendered. Changes in the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, or modifications to existing awards, could result in materially different fair value estimates and compensation expense amounts.
Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that management concludes it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 due to our net operating losses and the maintenance of a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2025, our total valuation allowance was approximately $9,719,000, an increase of approximately $1,027,000 from $8,692,000 as of December 31, 2024, primarily reflecting additional deferred tax assets arising from current-year losses. As of December 31, 2025, we had available federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $28,310,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25,784,000. Net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 carry forward indefinitely; those generated prior to 2018 expire at various dates through 2037. NOL’s generated after 2017 carry forward indefinitely but are limited to offset 80% of taxable income in any given year.
The judgment to maintain a full valuation allowance is the most significant estimate within our income tax accounting. This judgment is based on our cumulative history of operating losses, our going concern conditions, and the uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of future taxable income sufficient to realize these assets. We reassess this conclusion at each reporting date. If our operating results improve materially and we conclude it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets will be realized, we would reduce the valuation allowance accordingly, which could result in a material income tax benefit in the period of that determination. We adopted ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a prospective basis; the required disaggregated rate reconciliation and taxes paid disclosures are included in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40), subsequently clarified by ASU No. 2025-01 issued in January 2025. This ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, within relevant income statement captions, and also requires disclosure of total selling expenses and their definition. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU, which will likely result in additional required disclosures once adopted.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current-classified accounts receivable and contract assets. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Generally, the amendments in this Update are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption method of this ASU may vary, on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of 2025 using a prospective transition method.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. H.R.1, an act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA introduces multiple tax law and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and U.S. taxation of international earnings; the repeal or acceleration of the sunset of certain tax credits under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and elimination of certain penalties for violations of certain regulatory credit programs. We have recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in our financial results to the extent they are applicable to the year ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions on our 2026 and subsequent consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations, and has a retained deficit as of December 31, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The 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 audit 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 Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
| 32 |
Allowance for credit losses
As described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses against its accounts receivable balances based on the future estimated credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $1.1 million, or 60.9% of total accounts receivable. This estimate is determined based on internally developed qualitative and quantitative factors derived from the aging of receivables, the Company’s past collection history with customers, forward looking information and economic trends and conditions.
We have identified the evaluation of the Company’s estimation of allowance for credit losses as a critical audit matter. There is an established policy for determining overall allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluates customers into two economic pools for delinquent customers and industry specific with additional judgement in place for certain account balances that require additional evaluation and assessment which are used in estimating losses related to customer receivables. There is also a degree of subjectivity in management's assessment of the completeness and accuracy of the allowance for credit losses, specifically the portion of the receivable expected to be collected, which requires a significant level of auditor judgement in auditing the estimate.
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for credit losses included:
| · | We obtained an understanding of the process management uses to determine the allowance for credit losses, including the assumptions developed in the analysis. |
| · | Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s allowance for credit losses calculation as of December 31, 2025 by recalculating and independently applying the credit loss methodology promulgated by generally accepted accounting principles to each risk pool, as well as recalculating the aging of receivables based on underlying source documentation. |
| · | Recomputing current and historical collection rates for customer receivable balances and comparing the historical loss rates against the current period estimated loss rates within the respective risk pools and performing a prior year look back at the collection percentages on customer receivables with certain risk characteristics. |
| · | Taking into consideration future economic factors applicable to the Company’s industry and their effect over the allowance for current expected credit loss. |
| · | Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s qualitative adjustments against the allowance for credit losses by obtaining corroborating evidence which supports the adjustments and assumptions made by management in determining the allowance. |
Inventory – Valuation associated with excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory
As further described in Note 2 & 3 to the financial statements, inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At the balance sheet date, the Company evaluated inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence (E&O) and included an inventory reserve against its inventory balances. As of December 31, 2025, the inventory reserve was $500 thousand, or approximately 14.6% of total inventory. To estimate the amount of inventory that may be in excess or obsolete, the Company reviews inventory quantities on hand as well as historical and projected sales volumes. The Company’s model assumes that inventory will be distributed on a first-in-first-out basis. Due to the nature of the inventory and the levels of inventory purchased in prior years, as well as recent sales trends, estimating the amount of inventory that is in excess or potentially obsolete involves significant judgments and estimates.
Given the significant judgments associated with evaluating the valuation of E&O inventory, auditing the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions involved especially subjective judgment and an increased extent of effort, therefore we identified the estimates used to determine the valuation of the E&O inventory as a critical audit matter.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s valuation of E&O inventory included the following:
| · | We obtained an understanding of the process management uses to determine the inventory valuation. |
| · | Obtaining the Company’s E&O calculation and testing the mathematical accuracy. |
| · | Inquiring of the Company’s employees outside of the accounting department and evaluating other areas of the audit to identify business, product, or industry changes that may impact the inputs in the inventory E&O calculation. |
| · | Evaluating management’s future projections by comparing to current and historical sales trends. |
| · | Assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the E&O calculation by developing an independent expectation and comparing our independent expectation to the results of the Company’s calculation. |

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TOMI”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is a global provider of disinfection and decontamination essentials through our premier Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) platform, under which we manufacture, license, service and sell our SteraMist® brand of products, including SteraMist® BIT™, a hydrogen peroxide-based mist and fog. Our solution and process are environmentally friendly as the only by-product from our decontamination process is oxygen and water in the form of humidity. Our solution is organically listed in the United States and Canada as a sustainably green product with no or very little carbon footprint. Our business is organized into four divisions: Life Sciences, Healthcare, Food Safety and Commercial.
Invented under a defense grant in association with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) of the U.S. Department of Defense, BIT™ is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and uses a low percentage hydrogen peroxide as its only active ingredient to produce a fog composed mostly of a hydroxyl radical (.OH ion), known as ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™). Represented by the SteraMist® brand of products, iHP™ produces a germ-killing aerosol that works like a visual non-caustic gas.
Our products are designed to service a broad spectrum of commercial structures, including, but not limited to, hospitals and medical facilities, bio-safety labs, pharmaceutical facilities, meat and produce processing facilities, universities and research facilities, vivarium labs, other service industries including cruise ships, office buildings, hotel and motel rooms, schools, restaurants, military barracks, police and fire departments, prisons, and athletic facilities. Our products are also used in single-family homes and multi-unit residences. Additionally, our products have been listed on the EPA’s List N as products that help combat COVID-19 and are actively being used for this purpose.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI and its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification of Accounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, inventory, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements 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 the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
| Level 2: | Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
|

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times, these deposits may be in excess of insured limits. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. Management assesses the collectability of outstanding customer invoices and maintains allowance resulting from the expected non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this reserve, management considers factors such as historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, specific customer risk, and current and expected general economic conditions. For those customers to whom we extend credit, in accordance with the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model, we make a risk-based evaluation at the point of sale which is further reviewed on both an individual and collective (pool) basis during each reporting period based on ASC 326.

Long-term trade accounts receivable are principally amounts arising from the sale of goods and services with a contractual maturity date or realization period of greater than one year and are recognized as "Long-Term Accounts Receivable" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no long-term Accounts Receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials.
We expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as incurred.
We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence, and future customer demand. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable or realized when comparing current inventory levels to anticipated demand for our product. Our reserve for obsolete inventory was $
Property and Equipment
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

| Table of Contents |
Leases
We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, in accordance with ASC 842. We utilize the short-term lease recognition exemption for all asset classes as part of our on-going accounting under ASC 842. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses depend on classification as a finance or operating lease.
As a lessee, we utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options we will exercise. Furthermore, our lease payments are based on index rates with minimum annual increases. These represent fixed payments and are captured in the future minimum lease payments calculation. In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.
We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, meaning all consideration that is fixed, or in-substance fixed, will be captured as part of our lease components for balance sheet purposes. Furthermore, all variable payments included in lease agreements will be disclosed as variable lease expense when incurred. Generally, variable lease payments are based on usage and common area maintenance. These payments will be included as variable lease expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Vendor Concentration
The Company is dependent on a limited number of third-party suppliers for the manufacture of its SteraMist® line of equipment and for the supply of its BIT Solution. This dependence results in concentration of both purchasing activity and accounts payable balances among a small number of vendors.
As of December 31, 2025, one vendor accounted for approximately
For the year ended December 31, 2025, two vendors collectively accounted for approximately
Accrued Warranties
Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and record the expense to the consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the warranty against product defects from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our warranty reserves were $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
A significant area of judgment relates to the realization of deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and other deductible temporary differences. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based on available evidence, including historical operating results, projections of future taxable income, and the expected reversal of temporary differences.
Based on the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management has concluded that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the realization of these assets.
Additional information regarding the Company’s income taxes, including deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards, is included in Note 15– Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and conversions of preferred stock or debentures. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the numerator may have to adjust for any dividends and income or loss associated with potentially dilutive securities that are assumed to have resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock and the denominator may have to adjust to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from shares of common stock issuable through a contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options, warrants, or convertible preferred stock. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, the treasury stock method is used for stock options, and warrants, and the if-converted method is used for convertible preferred stock as prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 260. Because of the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the impact of including these in our computation of diluted EPS was anti-dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2025 consisted of

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy the performance obligations.
We must use judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations and whether they are distinct from one another; (b) the transaction price; and (c) the standalone selling price for each performance obligation for purposes of transaction price allocation.
Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in product revenues, and the associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs included in cost of revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from customers.
Product revenue includes sales of our standard and customized equipment, BIT Solution and accessories, recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Service and training revenue includes high-level decontamination engagements, equipment validation and customer training, recognized as the agreed-upon services are rendered
A portion of our revenue is derived from SIS and CES, which may involve multiple performance obligations including equipment supply, installation, validation and ongoing service. For these arrangements, management exercises judgment in identifying distinct performance obligations, allocating the transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices, and determining the point at which control transfers to the customer, and allocating the transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices, when applicable. Delays in project completion or customer acceptance can affect the timing of revenue recognition.
We record estimated allowances for sales returns using a specific identification method based on subsequent return activity and historical averages. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded allowances of $

Equity Compensation Expense
We account for equity compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.
The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of options and warrants issued as compensation during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected term of the Company’s warrants has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”) and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best assessment.
On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to
For awards of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), the fair value is determined based on the closing market price of our Common Stock on the grant date. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we granted

Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
We assess long-lived assets for potential impairments at the end of each year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, we measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If our long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. We base the calculations of the estimated fair value of our long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach, we use an internally developed discounted cash flow model that includes, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations. We had no long-lived asset impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Business Segments
We currently have one reportable business segment due to the fact that we derive our revenue primarily from one product in which 1) The business activities are homogenous in nature, 2) The entire operation faces similar market conditions and risks, 3) There is a high degree of integration in its operations, 4) Internal evaluations of financial results are conducted on a consolidated basis. A breakdown of revenue is presented in “Revenue Recognition” in Note 2 above. See Note 17, Segment Reporting for more details. We are required to apply the guidance in ASC 280 and identify significant segment expenses and other segment items for our single reportable segment.

While management believes the actions described above provide a reasonable basis to address the going concern conditions, there can be no assurance that we will successfully execute this plan, that our pipeline will convert to revenue on the anticipated timeline, or that additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to execute this plan, we may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain operations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Nasdaq Listing Deficiencies
On November 17, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), was below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 18, 2026 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. As of the date of this filing, approximately seven weeks remain in the 180-day compliance period. We are actively monitoring our stock price and evaluating available options to regain compliance, including a potential reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval. There is no guarantee that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, and failure to do so may subject us to delisting proceedings by Nasdaq.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). In January 2025, ASU No. 2025-01 was issued to clarify the effective date for all public business entities. The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.
In July 2025, FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current classified accounts receivable and contract assets. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The ASU addresses thirty-three items, representing the changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. Generally, the amendments in this Update are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption method of this ASU may vary, on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of 2025 using a prospective transition method.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. H.R.1, an act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA introduces multiple tax law and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and U.S. taxation of international earnings; the repeal or acceleration of the sunset of certain tax credits under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and elimination of certain penalties for violations of certain regulatory credit programs. We have recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in our financial results to the extent they are applicable to the year ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions on our 2026 and subsequent consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply when those differences reverse.
As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, applied on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2025. Because the ASU affects disclosures only, adoption did not affect our Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
For income tax purposes in the United States, we had available federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 of approximately $
Valuation Allowance
The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, including historical operating results, projections of future taxable income, and the reversal of temporary differences. Based on the Company’s history of operating losses, management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.
| 56 |
| Table of Contents |
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC-740 guidance for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded valuation allowances of $
Uncertain Tax Positions
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the management of the Company determined there were no reportable uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, including Maryland, California, and Florida. Tax years 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.

The Company does not have any long-term purchase commitments with any of its significant customers, and there can be no assurance that these customers will continue to purchase the Company's products and services at historical levels or at all. The loss of, or a significant reduction in purchases by, any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenue and results of operations.

The Company operates and is managed as a single operating and reportable segment. Our Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance across the organization.
The CODM manages the business and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. In assessing performance and making resource allocation decisions, the CODM regularly reviews consolidated financial information including net revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss), which is the Company’s reported measure of segment profit (loss) under ASC 280. The CODM also regularly reviews trends in significant expense categories that are included in this measure, such as professional and consulting fees, selling expenses, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Other than our cash and cash equivalents, which are reviewed for liquidity management purposes, the CODM does not regularly review asset information at any lower level of the organization for purposes of allocating resources or assessing performance.
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of equipment and services based on its proprietary BIT technology, both domestically and internationally. A disaggregation of revenue is presented in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under Revenue Recognition.

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the ERC payments have been recognized as Other Income as the Company determined that all relevant criteria for recognition had been met.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted 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 the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to the material weaknesses described below. Notwithstanding this conclusion, our management has determined that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or deterioration in compliance.
Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2025:
· | Limited resources within the finance and accounting departments with sufficient knowledge and experience in applying U.S. GAAP, including developing appropriate accounting estimates, reserves, and allowances in a timely manner and maintaining proper segregation of duties; and |
|
|
· | Policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and SEC reporting functions were either not fully designed and in place or not operating effectively. |
These control deficiencies, if not fully remediated, could result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
Remediation - Progress and Actions Taken
Management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, has implemented the following specific remediation actions during fiscal year 2025:
· | Strengthened Finance Function. In May 2025, we appointed a new Chief Financial Officer with substantial experience in financial accounting, U.S. GAAP, and SEC reporting. This appointment has supported improvement in the finance and accounting function's ability to address the identified deficiencies. |
|
|
· | Written Accounting Policies and Procedures. We have designed and implemented written accounting policies and procedures governing the review, supervision, and monitoring of our accounting and SEC reporting functions, appropriate for the size and nature of our operations. |
|
|
· | Month-End Revenue Close Process. We implemented a structured month-end close process for revenue recognition to provide more consistent review and earlier identification of required adjustments. |
|
|
· | Monthly Physical Inventory Counts. We implemented monthly physical inventory counts to strengthen inventory controls and reduce year-end adjustments. |
|
|
· | Deferred Revenue Accounting Framework. Effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we implemented formal policies and procedures for the identification, measurement, and recognition of deferred revenue in accordance with ASC 606, integrated into our period-end close process. |
|
|
· | 13-Week Rolling Cash Flow Forecast. We introduced a 13-week rolling cash flow forecasting process to improve liquidity management, forward planning, and management oversight of cash resources. |
|
|
· | Daily Bank Reconciliations. We implemented daily bank reconciliations to strengthen cash controls and provide timely visibility over cash balances. |
|
|
· | Realignment of Roles and Responsibilities. We have realigned roles and responsibilities within the accounting team to improve segregation of duties and to better utilize the skills and experience of existing personnel. |
|
|
· | Continued Training and Third-Party Support. We continue to recruit and train personnel with appropriate internal controls knowledge and accounting experience and engage third-party consultants and specialists where appropriate to supplement internal capabilities. |
|
|
· | While the material weaknesses had not been fully remediated as of December 31, 2025, management believes the actions taken to date represent meaningful progress in addressing the identified control deficiencies. We are committed to continuing this process and will continue to review and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. |

Equity Compensation Plan Information
We currently maintain one compensation plan: the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan was approved by the Board on January 29, 2016 and received shareholder approval on July 7, 2017. The 2016 Plan authorized the issuance of 625,000 shares of common stock. On August 25, 2015, the Board terminated the 2008 Plan, which we had maintained previously and which our shareholders had approved. Accordingly, we will issue future awards under the 2016 Plan.
On December 30, 2020, we received shareholder approval to amend and restate the 2016 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized from issuance by 1,375,000, from 625,000 shares to 2,000,000. As of December 31, 2025 the available plan balance is 1,399,000.
The following table provides information as of December 31, 2025 with respect to compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the following table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Voting Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
Applicable percentage ownership is based on 20,540,539 shares of common stock and 63,750 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding at March 11, 2026. In computing the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Voting Stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or releasable or that will become exercisable or releasable within 60 days of March 11, 2026. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, the address of each person or entity in the following table is c/o TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., 8430 Spires Way., Suite N, Frederick, MD 21701.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were a participant, the amount involved exceeded $120,000, and in which any director, executive officer, nominee for director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or any immediate family member of any such person had a direct or indirect material interest, as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Independence of the Board
Based upon information submitted by Mr. Fragasso, Mr. Paul, and Dr. Lim, the Board has determined that each of them is “independent” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Dr. Shane and Ms. Elissa Shane are notindependent directors as they are employees of the Company. No director will be considered “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Board's independent directors are Mr. Fragasso, Mr. Paul and Dr. Lim.
Our Board has three separate standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

FAQ
What were TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) 2025 results and net loss?
TOMI Environmental reported a 2025 net loss of about $3.7 million, compared with $4.5 million in 2024. The company also disclosed an accumulated deficit of roughly $58.1 million, reflecting years of losses following a temporary boost in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why is there substantial doubt about TOMI Environmental Solutions’ ability to continue as a going concern?
Management cited substantial doubt because TOMI ended 2025 with only about $88,000 in cash, a $3.7 million net loss, and a $58.1 million accumulated deficit. Continued operating losses and limited liquidity mean the business depends on raising capital through debt or equity financings.
What financing tools does TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) have to improve liquidity?
TOMI has outstanding 12% convertible notes with about $3.1 million in principal, convertible at $1.25 per share, and an equity line of credit allowing sales of up to $20 million of common stock over 24 months. These are intended to provide flexible funding if market conditions permit.
What is TOMI Environmental’s SteraMist integration pipeline and how much is awarded?
The company reported a SIS and CES integration project pipeline of roughly $3 million as of late 2025. About $1.6 million of that amount had been awarded, with approximately $800,000 recognized as revenue since announcement, supporting future BIT Solution consumable demand.
What Nasdaq listing issues does TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) face?
TOMI received Nasdaq deficiency notices for failing the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity rule. As of December 31, 2025, stockholders’ equity was about $588,504, and the company must regain compliance within Nasdaq’s specified timeframes.
How much potential dilution overhang exists from TOMI Environmental’s convertible notes and equity-linked securities?
As of December 31, 2025, TOMI had options, warrants, convertible notes, preferred stock and RSUs representing roughly 6.0 million potential common shares. The outstanding convertible notes alone were convertible into about 2,508,000 shares at a $1.25 conversion price.
