NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its former wholly owned subsidiary, DERMAdoctor, which was fully divested on March 12, 2024, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See also Note 15, “DERMAdoctor Divestiture.” The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include only the accounts of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Assets Held for Sale

 

The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell and all criteria in ASC 360 are met, including availability for immediate sale, active marketing, and probable sale within one year. If shareholder approval is required, the held-for-sale criteria are not considered met until such approval is obtained. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets. Prior periods are reclassified to conform to current presentation.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

A component of the Company is reported as a discontinued operation when it has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results in accordance with ASC 205-20. Results of discontinued operations, including any gain or loss on disposal, are presented separately from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Prior periods are reclassified to conform to current presentation.

 

Financial Statement Reclassification

 

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to current period classifications.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, assumptions for valuing warrants, assumptions for valuing derivative liabilities, long-lived asset impairments, stock-based compensation, income taxes and other contingencies.

 

These estimates are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, judgments, and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions, judgments and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company has one operating and reportable segment encompassing its consolidated operations as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer. The measurement of segment profit or loss is the net loss from continuing operations, as reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The measurement of segment assets is total consolidated assets, as reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance on a consolidated basis and is not regularly provided with disaggregated actual expense information beyond that included in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Highly Liquid Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments with a stated maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in major financial institutions in the United States.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

 

   

As of December 31,

 
   

2025

   

2024

 

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 7,958     $ 430  

Restricted cash included in other assets

    267       477  

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

  $ 8,225     $ 907  

 

The restricted cash amount included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents amounts held as certificates of deposit for long-term financing and lease arrangements as contractually required by our financial institution and landlord.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Partners

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company maintains deposits of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with major financial institutions in the United States.

 

The Company has a significant amount of its cash balances at a major financial institution which exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

The Company did not hold any digital assets as of December 31, 2025. Subsequent to year end, in connection with the January 2026 Private Placement and related transactions, the Company acquired and accumulated a significant position in SKY tokens. The concentration of the Company’s assets in SKY tokens increases the Company’s exposure to price volatility and other risks associated with the SKY token. See Note 19, “Subsequent Events,” for additional information regarding these transactions and related activities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and warrant liabilities. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and nonrecurring basis. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

 

Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

See additional information in Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements.”

 

Digital Assets

 

The Company did not hold any digital assets as of and during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, in January 2026, the Company entered into the January 2026 Private Placement pursuant to which it received digital assets, including stablecoins and SKY tokens, and subsequently engaged in purchases and sales of such digital assets.

 

Digital assets acquired in connection with the January 2026 Private Placement and subsequent transactions will be accounted for in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP and other authoritative accounting guidance in effect at the time, including Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which established Subtopic 350-60 within ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, where applicable. Depending on the nature of the digital assets held and the Company’s specific facts and circumstances—including the Company’s activities (such as staking or other yield-generating activities), the contractual terms of related arrangements, and the Company’s relationships with counterparties—the Company may apply different accounting models. Such models could include digital assets held at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings under applicable crypto-asset guidance or, if such guidance is not applicable, accounting under other relevant U.S. GAAP models, including accounting for certain digital assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at historical cost and evaluated for impairment. The applicable accounting framework may differ depending on the specific facts and circumstances, and the resulting classification, measurement, and presentation could materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations, including potential variability in reported results.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

 

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that companies consider whether events or changes in facts and circumstances, both internally and externally, may indicate that an impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values and the loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded $854 thousand and $0 thousand in long-lived assets impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This included $39 thousand for fixed assets including leasehold improvements and $815 thousand for operating lease right-of-use assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Leases

 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use assets may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.

 

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. This will potentially result in the initial and subsequent measurement of the balances of the right-of-use assets and lease liability for leases being greater than if the policy election was not applied. Leases include variable components (e.g., common area maintenance) that are paid separately from the monthly base payment based on actual costs incurred and therefore were not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liability but are reflected as an expense in the period incurred.

 

The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities current and operating lease liabilities non-current.

 

The Company recorded $815 thousand in impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2025, related to operating lease right-of-use assets. There was no impairment losses related to leases for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with its equity offerings in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815).

 

The Company classifies as equity any warrants that (i) require physical share settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement (physical share settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as liabilities any warrants that (i) require net-cash settlement, (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash physical settlement or net-share settlement. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company also classifies as liabilities any warrants for which the shares underlying the contract are subject to stockholder approval before the warrant can be exercised.

 

For warrants that are classified as liabilities, the Company records the fair value of the warrants upon issuance and at each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value recorded as a non-cash gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Warrants that contain nominal exercise prices are economically similar to common stock, and do not require assumptions related to volatility, expected term, or other option-pricing inputs are generally measured based on intrinsic value, calculated as the excess of the Company’s common stock price over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of warrant shares outstanding. The fair values of other warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and subject to a significant degree of management’s judgment. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements,” subheading “Black Scholes Valuation Models and Assumptions” and Note 9, “Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liabilities,” subheading “Summary of Common Stock Warrant Liabilities.”

 

Preferred Stock

 

Preferred stock that is redeemable at the option of the holder or upon events not solely within the control of the Company is classified as mezzanine (temporary) equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. Such instruments are initially recorded at fair value, net of issuance costs, and are not accreted to redemption value unless redemption becomes probable.

 

Terms of the Company’s Preferred Stock have historically included a ratchet whereby the applicable conversion price could be adjusted (as defined and described in Note 10, “Stockholders’ Deficit”). The applicable ratchet provisions of the Company’s outstanding Series B Preferred Stock terminated during the year ended December 31, 2024. When a conversion price for outstanding Preferred Stock is adjusted under the ratchet, the Company records a deemed dividend as a reduction to income available to common stockholders. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the deemed dividend was measured as the difference between (1) the fair value of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to the conversion price adjustment (but without the ratchet anti-dilution protection feature) and (2) the fair value of the Preferred Stock immediately after the conversion price adjustment (but without the ratchet anti-dilution protection feature). These fair values were determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model. These values are subject to a significant degree of management’s judgment. See also Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements,” subheading “Black Scholes Valuation Models and Assumptions.”

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s stock-based compensation includes grants of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The expense associated with these grants is recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values as they are earned under the applicable vesting terms. For stock options granted, the fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company accounts for RSUs issued to employees and non-employees (directors, consultants and advisory board members) based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. See Note 11, “Stock-Based Compensation” for further information regarding stock-based compensation expense and the assumptions used in estimating the expense.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Income Tax Payments

 

Income taxes paid are presented as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Refunds received are also presented within operating activities.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share by presenting both basic and diluted loss per share (“EPS”) as shown in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Potentially dilutive common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS computation in net loss periods if their effect would be anti-dilutive. 

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator used for basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s product revenue recognition policies are established in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in accordance with the following five steps:

 

 

i.

identify the contract(s) 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) the entity satisfies performance obligations.

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the amount of consideration which the Company expects to receive when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery of the products to a third-party carrier who is delivering the products to the customer. The Company defers recognition for pre-payments until the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes third-party manufacturing costs, shipping and handling costs, third-party fulfillment fees, and other costs associated with products sold. Cost of goods sold also includes any necessary allowances for excess and obsolete inventory as well as lower of cost and estimated net realizable value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-11, Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. While the adoption of ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have an effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is expected to result in incremental disclosures within the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2025-11.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 is intended to increase transparency and provide investors with more detailed information about the nature of expenses reported on the face of the statements of operations. ASU 2024-03 does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the statements of operations. Under ASU 2024-03, entities are required to disaggregate, in tabular format, expenses presented on the face of the statements of operations if they include any of the following expense categories: employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation or depletion. For any remaining items within each relevant expense caption, entities must provide a qualitative description of the nature of those expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. While the adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have an effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is expected to result in incremental disclosures within the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03.

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and disaggregation of income tax disclosures. The amendments primarily require (i) expanded income tax rate reconciliation disclosures using prescribed categories and (ii) disaggregation of income taxes paid, net of refunds, by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, among other disclosure enhancements. The amendments do not change the recognition or measurement of income taxes under ASC 740. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but resulted in expanded income tax disclosures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as the Company held no crypto assets during the fiscal year. As described in Note 19, “Subsequent Events”, in January 2026 the Company entered into the January 2026 Private Placement pursuant to which it received digital assets, including stablecoins and SKY tokens, and subsequently engaged in purchases and sales of digital assets. Digital assets acquired in connection with the January 2026 Private Placement and subsequent transactions will be accounted for in accordance with ASU 2023-08. Depending on the nature of the digital assets held and the Company’s specific facts and circumstances—including the Company’s activities (such as staking or other yield-generating activities), the contractual terms of related arrangements, and the Company’s relationships with counterparties—the Company may apply different accounting models. Such models could include digital assets held at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings under applicable crypto-asset guidance or, if such guidance is not applicable, accounting under other relevant U.S. GAAP models, including accounting for certain digital assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at historical cost and evaluated for impairment. The applicable accounting framework may differ depending on the specific facts and circumstances, and the resulting classification, measurement, and presentation could materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations, including potential variability in reported results.
