Net sales fell 16% to $2.84 m ; net income declined 34% to $0.63 m , or $0.14 EPS .

Q: What segments drove the revenue decline for UG?

Cosmetic ingredients were the main drag, down 37% YoY, largely due to softer Chinese demand via distributor ASI.

Cash and marketable securities total $8.42 m ; current ratio is 6.7× with no interest-bearing debt.

Q: What risks does UG face from new U.S. tariffs?

Management warns the Aug-25 tariff round could further curb Chinese sales (~40% of ASI’s volume) and compress margins.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

United-Guardian (UG) posted softer Q2 FY25 results amid tariff-related demand weakness in Asia. Net sales fell 16% YoY to $2.84 m, pulling H1 revenue down 20% to $5.32 m. Cosmetic ingredients—heavily exposed to China through key distributor ASI—dropped 37% in the quarter, while pharmaceuticals rose 3% and medical lubricants slid 12%.

Gross margin held near 53%, but a 15% rise in operating expenses cut operating profit 38% to $0.70 m. Net income declined 34% to $0.63 m (EPS $0.14); H1 earnings were 37% lower at $1.19 m (EPS $0.26).

Operating cash flow shrank to $0.63 m from $1.97 m. Cash, equivalents and marketable securities total $8.42 m, supporting a 6.7× current ratio and debt-free balance sheet. Retained earnings eased after a $0.35/share dividend paid in Feb; another $0.25/share dividend was declared 11 Jul 25 for payment on 1 Aug 25.

Management flags heightened risk from new U.S. tariffs effective Aug-25 and possible Chinese retaliation, given ~40% of ASI resale volume is China-bound. Customer (one distributor 75%+) and supplier concentration remain structural risks. The company expects its new Natrajel sexual-wellness line to begin contributing in H2 25, offering a prospective growth lever.

Positive

Debt-free balance sheet with $8.4 m in liquid assets and 6.7× current ratio provides financial flexibility.
Dividend continuity: $0.35 paid in Feb and $0.25 declared for Aug demonstrates commitment to shareholder returns.
Natrajel product launch expected in H2 25 offers a new revenue stream in higher-margin sexual wellness market.

Negative

Revenue down 16% YoY in Q2 and 20% YTD, led by 37% drop in core cosmetic ingredients.
Net income fell 34% to $0.63 m; operating cash flow down 68% YoY.
Concentration risk: one distributor accounts for 79% of sales and 86% of receivables.
Tarriff exposure to China may further dampen demand and margins.
Rising operating expenses (+15% YoY) pressured margins despite stable gross profit percentage.

Insights

TL;DR: Revenue −16%, EPS −34%, cash strong but China tariffs raise risk.

Quarterly results underscore UG’s high dependency on Chinese cosmetic demand. Despite stable gross margin, higher SG&A eroded profitability and cash generation. Balance sheet strength allows continued dividends, yet sustained revenue contraction could eventually pressure payouts. Near-term multiple expansion unlikely until visibility on tariff impact and Natrajel launch improves.

TL;DR: Concentration and tariff exposure elevate operational risk.

Single cosmetic distributor drives ~60% of sales and 86% of receivables; any disruption would be material. New tariffs effective 7 Aug 25 heighten downside for already weakened Asian demand. Supplier reliance (two vendors 92% of Q2 inputs) and sole contract manufacturer for Renacidin compound risk profile. Liquidity is ample, but strategic diversification remains imperative.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Business

United-Guardian, Inc. (“Company”) is a Delaware corporation that, through its Guardian Laboratories division, manufactures, markets and develops specialty cosmetic ingredients, notably a line of Lubrajel^® hydrogels, pharmaceutical products, medical lubricants and sexual wellness ingredients. In October 2023, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Brenntag Specialties, a global market leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, for the distribution of the Company’s new Natrajel^®line of sexual wellness ingredients in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. Although there were no sales of these products during 2024, the Company anticipates that it will begin manufacturing and reporting sales of this new line of products in the second half of 2025.

The Company conducts various Research and Development (“R&D”) activities. Our R&D department primarily develops new and unique specialty cosmetic and sexual wellness ingredients. We also develop new medical lubricants for our medical customers. The Company develops new products using natural and environmentally friendly raw materials, which is a priority for many of our cosmetic customers. Our R&D department also modifies, refines, and expands the uses for existing products, with the goal of further developing the markets that our products are used in. All the products that we market, except for Renacidin^®, are produced at our facility in Hauppauge, New York. Renacidin, a urological irrigation solution, is manufactured for us by an outside contract manufacturer.

2.	Basis of Presentation

Interim condensed financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information, pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (also referred to as the "second quarter of 2025" and the "first half of 2025", respectively) are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

3.	Segment Information

The Company operates its business under one operating segment, which is also its reportable segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the President, reviews financial information presented at the consolidated level and decides how to allocate resources based on financial metrics, including net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM, along with our Board of Directors, use such financial metrics, including net income, to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits or allocate to other parts of the organization, such as working capital needs, mandatory and discretionary capital expenditures or other growth opportunities that may arise that are in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders.

Net income, other financial metrics and sales forecasts are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The reported segment revenue, segment profit or loss and significant segment expenses are the same as the consolidated results disclosed on the consolidated statements of income.

4.	Impact of Global Supply Chain Instability, Inflation and Tariffs

The Company is actively monitoring trade policy and tariff announcements including executive orders issued by the executive branch of the United States (“U.S.”) federal government regarding tariffs on imports from various countries, with a focus on China, as those tariffs have the greatest potential to significantly impact our business. In addition, we are monitoring the potential impact of actions taken by these countries in response to the announced tariffs. On July 31, 2025, an executive order was signed imposing additional tariffs on a wide range of trading partners. While recent reports indicate that these tariffs are set to take effect on August 7, 2025 with the exception of Canada which will take place on August 1, 2025, some countries still have additional time to reach an agreement before their extension expires. It is unclear at this time if retaliatory tariffs will be imposed and what impact they will have on our business. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

A significant amount of our cosmetic ingredient and medical lubricant sales are reliant on shipments to China. If significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on Chinese imports, or any countermeasures are taken by China, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Such tariffs may make our products less cost competitive and reduce gross margins, especially in China, where we face significant competition from Asian companies that manufacture and sell products that are competitive with our products. Furthermore, we may not be able to increase our prices for our products enough to offset these tariffs, and if we raise prices in response to these tariffs, demand for our products in certain regions may be reduced. The impact of the softened demand in China due to these tariffs was reflected in the sales of our cosmetic products during the first half of 2025.

Many of our products are used in the formulation of finished products that are manufactured in China and then imported back into the U.S. for sale. There is the possibility that the tariffs levied on these finished products could result in an increase in their price, which could potentially impact demand for these products in the U.S. There is also a possibility that customers will consider moving their manufacturing from China as a strategic decision to limit the impact from tariffs. We have strong global relationships with our distributors and will continue to work together to understand how tariffs are impacting their business and the business of our joint customers.

We source products through numerous suppliers, many of whom have established long-term relationships with us. While we obtain most of our raw materials and lab supplies from domestic sources, we have three suppliers that obtain their raw materials from China. These materials are not purchased by us in large quantities, and we have adequate stock on hand to cover the next six months. In addition, we have one direct raw material supplier in China; however, we do not purchase large quantities of raw materials from this supplier, and the effect of this tariff would not materially impact the pricing of our products.

At this time, the overall impact on our business related to these or any other tariffs that may be imposed, remains uncertain and depends on multiple factors, including the duration and expansion of current tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope or enforcement, retaliatory measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges.

5.	Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimated items include the allowance for credit losses, reserve for inventory obsolescence, accrued distribution fees, outdated material returns, possible impairment of marketable securities and the allocation of overhead.

Page 8 of 24

6.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with financially strong, FDIC-insured financial institutions, and believes that any amounts above FDIC insurance limitations are at minimal risk. The amounts held in excess of FDIC limits at any point in time are considered temporary and are primarily due to the timing of the maturities of United States Treasury Bills. Cash and cash equivalents held in these accounts are currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to a maximum of $250,000. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $397,000 and $234,000, respectively, exceeded the FDIC limit. The Company also invests in certain money market mutual funds that are protected as securities by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash held in these money market mutual funds of approximately $639,000 and $563,000, respectively, exceeded the SIPC limit.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash and cash equivalents:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2025		2024
Demand Deposits	$	629,658	$	404,801
Money Market Funds		1,138,823		1,470,854
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	1,768,481	$	1,875,655

7.	Accounts Receivable and Reserves

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, (“ASC 326”), the Company presents financial assets at the net amount expected to be collected, requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the asset’s remaining life. This is in contrast to previous U.S. GAAP, under which credit losses were not recognized until it was probable that a loss had been incurred. The Company performed its expected credit loss calculation based on historical accounts receivable write-offs, including consideration of then-existing economic conditions and expected future conditions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the financial statements. Prior to the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, the Company calculated a reserve for accounts receivable by considering many factors including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness and economic trends.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected as of the balance sheet date. This allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset and is based on the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”). At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable amounted to $21,628 and $14,342, respectively.

8.	Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Our principal source of revenue is product sales.

Our sales, as reported, are subject to a variety of deductions, some of which are estimated. These deductions are recorded in the same period in which the revenue is recognized. Such deductions, primarily related to the sale of our pharmaceutical products, include chargebacks from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), rebates in connection with our current participation in Medicare programs, distribution fees, discounts, and outdated product returns. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on sales for a reporting period.

Page 9 of 24

During 2025 and 2024, we participated in various government drug rebate programs related to the sale of Renacidin, our most important pharmaceutical product. These programs include the Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (“FSS”), and the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap Discount Program (“CGDP”). These programs require us to sell our products at a discounted price, typically in the form of a rebate. Our sales, as reported, are net of these rebates, some of which are estimated and are recorded in the same period that the revenue is recognized.

On January 1, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) implemented a new Medicare Part D Manufacturer Discount Program (“Discount Program”), which replaced the prior CGDP. The new Discount Program eliminates the coverage gap benefit phase, introduces pharmaceutical manufacturer discounts in the initial and catastrophic coverage phases, and lowers the cap on enrollee out-of-pocket costs. Under the new Discount Program, additional rebates are expected to be owed by pharmaceutical manufacturers due to the restructuring of the benefit periods and removal of the cap that was in place that limited the drug manufacturer’s liability. The overall financial impact of this new program will vary depending on the products being reimbursed but it is expected to increase Medicare Part D rebates for drug manufacturers.

On January 31, 2024, we were notified by CMS that we qualified as a “specified small manufacturer” and would be entitled to a multi-year phase-in period during which we would pay a lower percentage discount on drugs dispensed to beneficiaries. Based on our “specified small manufacturer” designation, it appears, based on our current level of sales through the Medicare Part D Program, we would have reduced rebate liabilities in years 2025 and 2026, with rebates gradually increasing each year thereafter, until they reach their full phase-in by 2031. By the end of the phase in period in 2031, these rebate liabilities are expected to significantly exceed the liabilities we have recorded under the CGDP in previous years.

As long as a valid purchase order has been received and future collection of the sale amount is reasonably assured, we recognize revenue from sales of our products when those products are shipped, which is when our performance obligation is satisfied. Our cosmetic products are shipped EXW from our facility in Hauppauge, NY, and the risk of loss and responsibility for the shipment passes to the customer upon shipment. Sales of our medical lubricant products are deemed final upon shipment, and we have no obligation to repurchase or allow the return of these goods unless they are defective. Sales of our pharmaceutical products are final upon shipment unless (a) they are found to be defective; (b) the product is damaged in shipping; (c) the product is too close to its expiration date for the customer to sell; or (d) the product is expired but is not more than one year after its expiration date. These return policies are in conformance with standard pharmaceutical industry practice. We estimate an allowance for outdated material returns based on previous years’ historical returns of our pharmaceutical products.

The Company does not make sales on consignment, and the collection of the proceeds of the sale of any of our products is not contingent upon the customer being able to sell the goods to a third party.

Any allowances for returns are taken as a reduction of sales within the same period the revenue is recognized. Such allowances are determined based on historical experience under ASC Topic 606. We have not experienced significant fluctuations between estimated allowances and actual activity.

At June 30, 2025, the Company recorded advance payments from customers of $128,632, which are included in deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The related performance obligations associated with these payments were satisfied in the third quarter of 2025. There were no such advance payments at December 31, 2024.

The Company has distribution fee contracts with certain distributors of its pharmaceutical products that entitle them to distribution and service-related fees. The Company records distribution fees and estimates of distribution fees as offsets to revenue.

Disaggregated sales by product class are as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024

Total Net Sales	$	2,838,225	$	3,390,205	$	5,319,352	$	6,645,149

The Company’s cosmetic ingredients are marketed worldwide by five distributors, of which U.S.-based Ashland Specialty Ingredients (“ASI”) purchases the largest volume. For both three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 17% of the Company’s total sales were to customers located outside of the United States. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 23% of the Company’s total sales were to customers located outside of the United States, compared with approximately 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Disaggregated sales by geographic region are as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
United States*	$	2,346,526	$	2,808,237	$	4,103,793	$	5,627,173
Other countries		491,699		581,968		1,215,559		1,017,976
Total Sales	$	2,838,225	$	3,390,205	$	5,319,352	$	6,645,149

* Since all purchases by ASI are shipped to ASI’s warehouses in the U.S., all sales to ASI are reported as U.S. sales for financial reporting purposes, even though a significant quantity of those purchases will be shipped by ASI to foreign customers. ASI has reported to the Company that approximately 80% of its sales of the Company’s products in the second quarter of 2025 were to foreign customers, with China representing approximately 42%. For the same time period in 2024, approximately 85% of ASI’s sales of the Company’s products were to foreign customers, with China representing approximately 56%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 approximately 75% of ASI’s sales of the Company’s products were to customers in other countries, with China accounting for approximately 40% of ASI’s sales of the Company’s products, as compared with approximately 84% of ASI’s sales going to customers in other countries for the six months ended June 30, 2024, with China accounting for approximately 50% of ASI’s sales of the Company’s products during that period.

9.	Accounting for Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

The Company recognizes an allowance for its trade receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. This allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset and are based on Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL).

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits, as determined by a review of current credit information. We continuously monitor collection and payments from customers and maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon historical experience, anticipation of uncollectible accounts receivable and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While our credit losses have historically been low and within expectations, we may not experience the same credit loss rates that have historically been attained in the future. The receivables are highly concentrated in a relatively small number of customers. Therefore, a significant change in the liquidity, financial position, or willingness to pay timely, or at all, of any one of our significant customers would have a significant impact on our results of operations and cash flows. When determining the reserve for credit losses, we take into consideration current and future economic conditions and the impact that these changing dynamics may have on potential future losses.

Page 11 of 24

The timing between recognition of revenue for product sales and the receipt of payment is not significant. The Company’s standard credit terms, which vary depending on the customer, range between 30 and 60 days. We provide an allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable for which collection is doubtful in accordance with ASU 2016-13. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, (“ASC 326”), we present financial assets at the net amount expected to be collected, requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the asset’s remaining life.

Prompt-pay discounts are offered to some customers; however, due to the uncertainty of the customers taking the discounts, the discounts are recorded when they are taken.

10.	Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in equity mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills (“U.S. Treasury Bills”) and Certificates of Deposit with maturities longer than 3 months. Our marketable equity securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in net income. U.S Treasury Bills and Certificates of Deposit are recorded at amortized cost. Realized gains or losses on mutual funds are determined on a specific identification basis. We evaluate our investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment by reviewing factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value had been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery of market value.

The disaggregated net gains and losses on marketable securities that were recognized on the income statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,					SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2025		2024			2025		2024
Net gains (losses) recognized during the period on marketable securities	$	24,576	$	(9,501	)	$	36,926	$	31,995
Less: Net losses recognized on marketable securities sold during the period		-		-			1,507		-
Net unrealized gains (losses) recognized during the reporting period on marketable securities still held at the reporting date	$	24,576	$	(9,501	)	$	38,433	$	31,995

The fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined in accordance with US GAAP, with fair value being defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company utilizes the three-tier value hierarchy, as prescribed by US GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Page 12 of 24

• Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s marketable equity securities, which are considered available for sale securities, are re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis and are valued using Level 1 inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets. The Company’s U.S. Treasury Bills and Certificates of Deposit are considered held-to-maturity securities and are valued at amortized cost.

Investment income is recognized when earned and consists principally of dividend income from equity mutual funds and interest income from U. S. Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposit and money market funds. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.

Proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities amounted to $7,301,264 for the first half of 2025, with realized losses of $1,507 recognized on these sales. Proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities amounted to $775,000 for the first half of 2024, and there were no realized gains or losses recognized on these sales.

Total inventories	$	1,531,817	$	1,451,995

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is equal to the selling price less the estimated costs of selling and/or disposing of the product. Cost is determined using the average cost method, which approximates cost determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Finished product inventories at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are stated net of a reserve of $30,006 and $32,792, respectively, for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

12.	Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision is based on its estimated annual effective tax rate. We continue to fully recognize our tax benefits, and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 comprises the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2025			2024			2025		2024

Total provision for income taxes	$	163,776		$	248,959		$	310,840	$	489,693

13.	Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan (“DC Plan”) that provides for a dollar-for-dollar employer matching contribution of the first 4% of each employee’s pay that is deferred by the employee. Employees become fully vested in employer matching contributions immediately.

The Company also makes discretionary contributions to each employee's account based on a "pay-to-pay" safe-harbor formula that qualifies the 401(k) Plan under current IRS regulations. Employees become vested in the discretionary contributions as follows: 20% after two years of employment, and 20% for each year of employment thereafter until the employee becomes fully vested after six years of employment.

The Company accrued $57,500 in contributions to the DC Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $54,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In the first six months of 2025 and 2024, the Company made discretionary contributions of $115,000 and $109,000, respectively, to the DC Plan. These payments represented the Company’s 2024 and 2023 accrued discretionary contributions, respectively.

15.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“DISE”). This guidance requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. Subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, clarified the effective date of this standard. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods, within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes- Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This guidance enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. More specifically, the amendments relate to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures and require 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. On January 1, 2025, the Company implemented this standard and will apply the guidance under the new standard to include additional disclosures in its annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This amendment requires additional disclosures by public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items for each reportable segment. The guidance applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. On January 1, 2024, we adopted the new standard and applied the guidance under the new standard to include additional disclosures for our single reportable segment. See note 3 for additional information.

16.	Concentrations of Credit Risk

Customer Concentration: Accounts receivable potentially exposes the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company monitors the amount of credit it allows each of its customers, using the customer’s prior payment history to determine how much credit to allow or whether any credit should be given at all. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue shipments to any customer that is substantially past due on its payments. The Company sometimes requires payment in advance from customers whose payment record is questionable. As a result of its monitoring of the outstanding credit allowed for each customer, as well as the fact that the majority of the Company’s sales are to customers whose satisfactory credit and payment record has been established over a long period of time, the Company believes that its credit risk from accounts receivable has been reduced.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s largest cosmetic ingredient distributors and three of its pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 79% of the Company’s gross sales, and 86% of its outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the same cosmetic ingredient distributor and three pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 82% of the Company’s gross sales and 83% of its outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s largest cosmetic ingredient distributors, along with three of its pharmaceutical distributors, accounted for 73% of the Company’s gross sales and 86% of its outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2025. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the same cosmetic ingredient distributor and three pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 82% of the Company’s gross sales and 83% of its outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2024.

17.	Supplier Concentration

Most of the principal raw materials used by the Company consist of common industrial organic and inorganic chemicals that are available in ample supply from numerous sources. However, there are some raw materials used by the Company that are not readily available or require longer lead times. During the first half of 2025 and 2024, the Company had three major raw material suppliers that collectively accounted for approximately 85% and 79%, respectively, of the raw material purchases made by the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had two major raw material suppliers that collectively accounted for approximately 92% of the raw material purchases made by the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had three major raw material suppliers that collectively accounted for approximately 83% of the raw material purchases made by the Company. In addition to the Company’s raw materials concentration, the Company utilizes one contract manufacturer for the production of its pharmaceutical product, Renacidin. Any disruption in this manufacturer’s operations could have a material impact on the Company’s revenue stream.

18.	Related-Party Transactions

The Company’s consulting agreement with Ken Globus, its former President, expired on May 31, 2024 and there were no consulting related payments to Mr. Globus during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, the Company made payments of $10,000 and $20,000, respectively, to Ken Globus for consulting services.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, there were no payments made to the accounting firm PKF O’Connor Davies (“PKF”). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company made payments of $4,000 to PKF for accounting and tax services. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, the Company made payments of $5,250 and $10,750, respectively, to the accounting firm PKF, for accounting and tax services. Lawrence Maietta, a partner at PKF, is a director of the Company.

19.	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

Page 16 of 24

Per share basic and diluted earnings amounted to $0.14 and $0.21 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.26 and $0.41 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

20.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. All references in this quarterly report to “sales” or “Sales” shall mean “net sales” unless specifically identified as “gross sales.”

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We specialize in manufacturing cosmetic ingredients, pharmaceuticals, medical lubricants, and sexual wellness ingredients through our Guardian Laboratories division. With a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality specialty products, we are committed to serving diverse markets with innovative solutions.

As part of our strategic focus, in October 2023, we took a significant step toward expanding our presence in the sexual wellness market by partnering with Brenntag Specialties, a global leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution. Under this agreement, Brenntag began marketing and distributing our new Natrajel line of sexual wellness ingredients in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America. While we reported no sales of this product in 2024, we anticipate beginning manufacturing and revenue generation in the second half of 2025.

We have also expanded our relationship with Azelis Group NV (“Azelis”), our distributor in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Ireland. The first step was expanding Azelis’s distribution to include our medical products in the UK and Ireland territories. In addditiona, we have added South Korea as a new territory for our personal care product line.

With a strong and growing product portfolio, we are now pursuing an active strategy to significantly expand our distribution channels for all our products as well as new market segments globally.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP. The preparation of those financial statements required us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying value of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported in those financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, concentration of credit risk, investments, inventory, and income taxes. Since December 31, 2024, there have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to those critical accounting policies.

The following discussion and analysis cover material changes in our financial condition since the year ended December 31, 2024, and a comparison of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. All references in this quarterly report to “sales” or “Sales” shall mean Net Sales unless specified otherwise.

In accordance with ASU-2016-13, we recognize an allowance for credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by $551,980 (16%) when compared with the same period in 2024. Net sales for the first half of 2025 decreased by $1,325,797 (20%) as compared with the corresponding period in 2024. The decrease in sales for the second quarter of 2025 and the first half of 2025 were attributable to changes in sales of the following product lines:

Cosmetic ingredients:

(a) Second quarter sales: For the second quarter of 2025, sales of our cosmetic ingredients decreased by $522,825 (37%) when compared with the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due primarily to a net decrease of $556,243 (42%) in sales of the Company’s cosmetic ingredients to ASI when compared with the second quarter of 2024. Based on information provided by ASI, the decrease in sales was due to two main factors: 1) five significant customers in China for the Company’s products experienced softer demand in the second quarter due to concerns regarding trade uncertainty and tariffs. The tariffs imposed on our products entering China have put increased pressure on us to remain competitive in the Asian markets; and 2) Ashland is currently working off excess inventory of some of our products, which reduced their orders from us during the second quarter of 2025.

Page 18 of 24

Second quarter sales to the Company’s four other distributors, as well as two direct cosmetic ingredient customers, increased by a net of $33,418 (33%) compared with the second quarter of 2024. The increase was attributable to sales increases of $54,547 to the Company’s distributors in France, Italy, and Korea. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of $21,129 to the Company’s distributors in the U.K. and Switzerland, as well as by two direct customers.

(b) Six-month sales: For the first half of 2025 sales of our cosmetic ingredients decreased by $1,700,310 (52%) when compared with the corresponding period in 2024. This decrease was due primarily to a net decrease in sales to ASI of $1,857,857 (60%) when compared with the first half of 2024. The decrease in sales during the first half of 2025 was due primarily to the softer demand in Asia. This decrease was partially offset with a net increase in sales of $157,277 to the Company’s four other distributors and two direct customers. Sales to the Company’s distributors in the United Kingdom, Korea, France, Italy and two direct customers increased by $158,509 while sales to the Company’s distributor in Switzerland decreased by $1,232.

Refer to Item 1A.“Risk Factors” for more information regarding the impact of potential tariffs on sales of our cosmetic ingredients.

Pharmaceuticals:

Because there are fees, rebates and allowances associated with sales of our two pharmaceutical products, Renacidin and Clorpactin^® WCS-90, discussion of pharmaceutical sales includes references to both gross sales (before fees, rebates, and allowances) and net sales (after fees, rebates, and allowances).

Gross sales of our pharmaceutical products for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 increased by $14,647 (less than 1%) compared with the corresponding period in 2024. The increase in gross sales was primarily due to an increase of $6,499 (1%) in gross sales of Renacidin combined with an increase of $8,148 (5%) in gross sales of the Company’s other pharmaceutical product, Clorpactin WCS-90.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, gross pharmaceutical sales increased by $295,957 (11%) compared with the corresponding period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to one of our larger distributors securing a new customer which increased their order quantity for our pharmaceutical product Renacidin in the second quarter of 2025. During this period, gross sales of Renacidin increased by $347,106 (13%). This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross sales of Clorpactin WCS-90 of $51,149 (17%), which was attributable to normal fluctuations in ordering patterns.

Net sales of our pharmaceutical products for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 saw a similar pattern, with net sales increasing by $38,015 (3%) and $256,150 (11%), respectively.

The difference between the change in net sales compared with the change in gross sales for these products is due to a combination of the change in gross sales of those products combined with changes in pharmaceutical sales allowances related to these products. Typically, these allowances have a direct relationship with the sales of the Company’s pharmaceutical products.

Medical lubricants:

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, sales of our medical lubricants decreased by $67,170 (12%) compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease in sales for the three-month period was primarily due to a decrease in orders from one of the Company’s larger customers in India. This customer stated that the decrease in orders was due to excess inventory. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, sales of our medical lubricants increased by $118,363 (12%) compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in sales for the six-month period was primarily due to an increase in orders from one of the Company’s larger customers in China.

Page 19 of 24

Refer to Item 1A.“Risk Factors” for more information regarding the impact of potential tariffs on sales of our medical lubricants.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 47% in the second quarter of 2025 from 46% in the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased slightly to 46% compared with 47% for the first six months of 2024.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, consisting of selling and general and administrative expenses, increased by $91,273 (15%) and $155,143 (13%), respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared with the equivalent periods in 2024. The increase in both periods was mainly due to increases in sales and marketing expenses and payroll and payroll-related expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $3,792 (3%) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $7,620 (4%) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared with the same periods in 2024. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily due to a decrease in accrued bonuses, partially offset by an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses. The increase for the six-month period was primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll -related expenses.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased by $29,434 (29%) and $42,820 (22%), respectively, for the three-and six-month periods of 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024. The decreases in both periods were primarily due to a combination of a decrease in interest rates in 2025 compared to 2024 and a decrease in the amount of funds invested.

Net gain (loss) on Marketable Securities

The net gain (loss) on marketable securities increased from a loss of $9,501 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, to a gain of $24,576 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The net gain on marketable securities increased from $31,995 for the period ending June 30, 2024 to $36,926 for the period ending June 30, 2025. The Company’s management and Board of Directors are continuing to closely monitor our investment portfolio and have made and will continue to make any changes they believe may be necessary or appropriate to minimize the future impact on our financial position that the volatility of the global financial markets may have.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate was 21% for the first half and second quarter of both 2025 and 2024. The Company’s tax rate is expected to remain at 21% for the current fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital decreased from $10,751,082 at December 31, 2024 to $10,613,457 at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $137,625. The current ratio increased from 6.6 to 1 at December 31, 2024 to 6.7 to 1 at June 30, 2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The increase in the current ratio was primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses.

Page 20 of 24

The Company believes that its working capital is, and will continue to be, sufficient to support its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company intends to utilize its available cash and assets primarily for its continued organic growth and potential future strategic transactions, as well as to mitigate the potential impact of inflation on the Company's business.

The Company has completed the upgrade of its building sprinkler system and has incurred costs of $184,298 to date and expects to make final payments in the amount of $10,814 during the third quarter of 2025.

The Company generated cash from operations of $625,323 and $1,968,250 for the first half of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease from 2024 to 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in net income.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $885,686 for the first half of 2025. Net cash used in investing activities was $657,533 in the first half of 2024. The increase in cash was due to excess proceeds from the sale of marketable securities compared to the purchases of marketable securities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities increased from $1,148,468 for the first half of 2024 to $1,618,183 for the same period in 2025. The increase was due to two factors: 1) an increase in dividends declared from $0.25 per share in the first half of 2024 to $0.35 per share in the first half of 2025; and 2) the payment of accrued dividends to shareholders whose shares of Guardian Chemical were converted to United-Guardian shares and shares that were escheated during the period.

The Company expects to continue to use its cash to make dividend payments, purchase marketable securities, and take advantage of growth opportunities that are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance sheet transactions that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future impact on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon the evaluation performed by the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, it was determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

(b)

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that, during the period covered by this quarterly report, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. They have also concluded that there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls after the date of the evaluation.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Impact of Global Supply Chain Instability, Inflation and Tariffs

A significant amount of our cosmetic ingredient and medical lubricant sales are reliant on shipments to China. If significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on Chinese imports, or any countermeasures are taken by China, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Such tariffs may make our products less cost competitive and reduce gross margins, especially in China, where we face significant competition from Asian companies that manufacture and sell products that are competitive with our products. Furthermore, we may not be able to increase our prices for our products enough to offset these tariffs, and if we raise prices in response to these tariffs, demand for our products in certain regions may be reduced. The impact of the softened demand in China due to these tariffs is reflected in the sales of our cosmetic products during the first half of 2025.
