1. Organization and Business

 

All references to “PURE,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “its” and the “Company” refer to PURE Bioscience, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, ETI H20 Inc.

 

PURE Bioscience, Inc. is dedicated to developing and commercializing proprietary antimicrobial products that address health and environmental challenges related to pathogen and hygienic control. The Company’s technology platform is based on patented stabilized ionic silver, and our initial products contain Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, or SDC. This broad-spectrum, non-toxic antimicrobial agent is available in liquid form and various concentrations, distinguished by its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity, non-causticity, and the inability of bacteria to develop resistance.

 

The Company’s SDC-based disinfecting and sanitizing products are registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and Health Canada. In addition to manufacturing and distributing these products, the Company also supplies SDC-based formulations as raw material ingredients for personal care products.

 

The Company sees significant market opportunities for its safe and effective SDC-based solutions, particularly in the food industry. The Company’s registered offerings include PURE® Hard Surface, a food contact surface sanitizer and disinfectant designed for restaurant chains, food processors, and transportation companies, as well as PURE Control®, a direct food contact processing aid. The Company’s products are sold directly to end-use customers, as well as third-party distributors who market and sell our products across various industries, maximizing our reach and impact.

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of California in August 1992 as Innovative Medical Services. In September 2003, the Company changed its name to PURE Bioscience, Inc. In March 2011, the Company reincorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company operates in one business segment.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a history of recurring losses and as of July 31, 2026, had a stockholders’ deficiency of $6,399,000. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,483,000 on net revenue of $2,318,000 and used $1,738,000 of cash in operating activities, leaving a cash balance of $569,000 as of July 31, 2026. In addition, as of July 31, 2026, convertible notes payable of $1,015,000 were past due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from our possible inability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements depend on numerous forward-looking factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the following: the acceptance of, and demand for, its products; the Company’s success and the success of its partners in selling our products; the Company’s success and the success of its partners in obtaining regulatory approvals to sell its products; the costs of further developing the Company’s existing products and technologies; the extent to which the Company invests in new product and technology development; and the costs associated with the continued operation, and any future growth, of its business. The outcome of these and other forward-looking factors will substantially affect its liquidity and capital resources.

 

Until the Company can continually generate positive cash flow from operations, it will need to continue to fund its operations with the proceeds of offerings of our equity and debt securities. However, the Company cannot ensure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or to its stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to its existing stockholders would likely result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict its ability to operate its business.
