3. Discontinued Operations and TSA

On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its VOWST Business to SPN. The Company has determined the sale of the VOWST Business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations on September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the VOWST Business is reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations. The related assets and liabilities of the VOWST Business were classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the historical periods presented prior to the sale of the VOWST Business and the results of operations from the VOWST Business were classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Applicable amounts in prior years have been recast to

conform to this discontinued operations presentation. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the VOWST Business upon closing.

The Company has also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with NESA, an affiliate of SPN, in connection with the Transaction, through which the Company will provide certain manufacturing services until December 31, 2025, and other transition services, for the duration specified in the schedule to the TSA for each service. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $3,490 and $9,799, respectively, of TSA reimbursement income in other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The $50,000 installment payment was recognized in Gain on sale of VOWST Business within continuing operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as the gain was realizable. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has $882 in accounts receivable due from SPN - related party and $279 unbilled receivable included in prepaid expenses and other current asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
