MYCELX TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION (AIM: MYX)
Half Year Results Statement
MYCELX Technologies Corporation ("MYCELX" or the "Company"), the clean water and clean air technology company transforming the environmental impact of industry, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Highlights
Financial
• |
Revenue of $1.7 million (2024 H1: $3.5 million). The decrease in 2025 is due to the sale of Saudi Arabia branch assets in 2024.
|
• |
Gross profit of $0.7 million (2024 H1: $1 million) and a gross margin of 41% (2024 H1: 28%), reflecting the H1 2025 revenues relating primarily to recurring media sales, paid trials and a small equipment sale which were higher margin than the Saudi Arabian revenue in H1 2024.
|
• |
EBITDA1 of negative $1.8 million (2024 H1: negative $1.1 million). After excluding the gain on the sale of the KSA branch assets, EBITDA would have been negative $1.9 million in both H1 2025 and H1 2024.
|
• |
Loss before tax of $1.9 million (2024 H1: loss $1.3 million).
|
• |
Cash and cash equivalents $0.7 million (2024 H1: $2.1 million), with a further $600,000 of payments received in early July 2025. The Company's $500,000 line of credit remains undrawn. |
Operational
PFAS
• |
Awarded a rental contract for a mobile PFAS treatment system to treat groundwater contamination at a site in North Dakota for the U.S. Department of Defense.
|
• |
Commenced participation in a multiple technology pilot trial treating PFAS contamination at a municipal wastewater treatment facility.
|
• |
Continued landfill leachate trial with pre-treatment system installed for PFAS remediation. |
PRODUCED WATER
• |
Successfully completed an onshore trial in the U.S. Permian Basin with a large oil producer which included both the MYCELX coalescer and REGEN equipment.
|
• |
Commenced offshore equipment lease in the Gulf of America with global integrated oil producer managing overboard excursions. |
Post Period Update
• |
Completed Factory Acceptance Testing of REGEN equipment for customer in Nigeria and recognized revenue of $5.5 million, which also triggers invoicing of the last two milestone payments representing in aggregate $1.1 million.
|
• |
Opened a $500,000 line of credit ('LOC') which will increase funds available for sales and marketing, trial equipment, and bridging project accounts receivable as the Company expands and accelerates its reach to meet the growing demand for its technology in PFAS remediation and Produced Water treatment. To date, the LOC remains undrawn. |
Outlook
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, MYCELX is poised for a step-change in growth. Revenue is expected to materially increase, fueled by delivery of major contracted projects - including the Nigeria REGEN system and the Middle East EOR project - together with accelerating recurring media sales, PFAS project revenue, and additional equipment sales. With approximately $11 million of revenue already secured through contracted or recurring sales, the Company has good visibility in meeting the lower end of its guidance.
Operational momentum is also building. The successful Permian Basin trial has become a powerful catalyst for broader engagement with U.S. onshore producers. The volumes of water to be treated during production have become a critical challenge for producers. Production reliability and breakeven cost economics are being driven by water treatment costs, and this reality has created multiple opportunities for MYCELX. The Company is advancing discussions and Request for Quotations ('RFQs') with two major producers and one midstream water services provider, positioning its technology as the next-generation solution to achieve cost effective recycle and beneficial reuse in large-scale produced water treatment. Near to mid-term opportunities are under active development not only in the Permian Basin but also across international markets, such as the Middle East and Nigeria, underscoring the global relevance of the Company's advanced solutions.
In the PFAS sector, the launch of the U.S. Department of Defense rental contract and the continuation of a landfill leachate trial provide strong third-party validation of MYCELX's differentiated capabilities in two of the largest and fastest-growing remediation verticals. These projects have the potential to unlock follow-on opportunities across multiple defense installations and landfill operators, further broadening the Company's potential recurring revenue base.
The technology and solutions are gaining traction with large end users. As is often the case with large capital sales, timelines to contract and delivery can be difficult to predict. While the Company is actively engaged in bids for multiple large projects, we remain cautious about providing timeline expectations. MYCELX has a proven track record of execution, an expanding opportunity pipeline, and reinforced support from industry-leading advisors. MYCELX is well positioned to deliver on these opportunities and expand market adoption with long-term value creation in the second half of 2025 and beyond .

Commenting on these results, Connie Mixon, CEO, said:
"In the first half of 2025, MYCELX laid the foundation for transformative growth. We are actively engaged with leading oil producers and midstream operators pursuing field upgrades and expansions - some of which we expect will specify MYCELX solutions. With ongoing PFAS trials and a Department of Defense ('DoD') project in hand, contracted projects in Nigeria and the Middle East set for delivery, and recurring revenue streams, we remain on track to achieve the lower end of our full-year guidance. Importantly, the Company is gaining notable traction with high profile customers in its core markets with active project bidding. While timelines are difficult to pin down, we believe there is significant momentum for our technology driven by operational and cost hurdles faced by end users that MYCELX can uniquely and effectively address."

Chairman's and Chief Executive Officer's Statement
MYCELX publishes its H1 2025 results today, alongside a wider business update on the corporate activity worked on year to date.
Operational Review
During the first half of 2025, MYCELX advanced its strategy across both the PFAS remediation and Produced Water markets, delivering meaningful operational milestones and positioning the Company for a stronger second half of the year.
In PFAS, the Company was awarded a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense in May 2025 to provide a mobile treatment system addressing Aqueous film-forming foam ('AFFF') contamination. The unit was delivered in early July 2025 and is currently in operation, with the scope of work expanded beyond the original award due to additional treatment volumes. In parallel, a pre-treatment system was commissioned to restart a landfill leachate trial in July 2025. The successful execution of this project could open opportunities across other similarly operated landfills where PFAS contamination remains a pressing issue.
In Produced Water, MYCELX successfully completed an onshore trial in the Permian Basin with a major oil producer. The trial, which utilized both the Company's coalescer and REGEN equipment, delivered higher-quality recycled water and improved oil recover volumes, demonstrating material economic benefits that could equate to millions of dollars in incremental annual revenue for the producer. This outcome represents a key validation of MYCELX's technology as a next-generation solution for large-scale produced water management in the Permian Basin, one of the most water-intensive production regions globally. In addition, MYCELX remains on track to deliver its second enhanced oil recovery project in the Middle East in the fourth quarter of 2025.
To further strengthen its position in U.S. onshore markets, the Company engaged Jim Summers as an Advisor in March 2025. Mr. Summers, a highly regarded industry veteran, brings deep expertise in water infrastructure and Permian Basin operations. His experience and industry network are expected to play a role in expanding MYCELX's produced water treatment business in the U.S. and beyond.
Financial Review
MYCELX generated approximately $1.7 million in revenue in the first half of 2025, a decrease of 51% from $3.5 million in the first half of 2024. The decrease was due to the sale of the KSA branch assets in early 2024. Revenue from equipment sales and leases was unchanged at $0.4 million in the first half of 2025 (2024 H1: $0.4 million). Revenue from consumable filtration media and service decreased 58% to $1.3 million (2024 H1: $3.1 million). Revenue recognition from the Nigeria project was delayed due to on-site timing, shifting approximately $5.5 million of project revenue into the second half of the year. As a result, the second half is expected to be substantially stronger, driven by revenue from the Nigeria REGEN and Middle East EOR projects, increased recurring media sales, PFAS project revenue, and another equipment sale.
Gross profit decreased by 30% to $0.7 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $1.0 million in the first half of 2024, but gross profit margin increased to 41% in the first half of 2025 (2024 H1: 28%) due to a higher portion of total revenue coming from higher margin media sales.
Total operating expenses for the first half of 2025, including depreciation and amortisation, decreased by 10% to $2.8 million (2024 H1: $3.1 million). The largest component of operating expenses was selling, general and administrative expenses, which decreased by approximately 10% to $2.6 million in the first half of 2025 (2024 H1: $2.9 million) due to the elimination of overhead expenses associated with the branch office in Saudi Arabia. Depreciation and amortisation within operating expenses increased by 2% to $109,000 (2024 H1: $107,000).
EBITDA was negative $1.8 million for the first half of 2025, compared to negative $1.1 million for the first half of 2024. EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that the Company uses to measure and monitor performance and liquidity and is calculated as net profit before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortisation of fixed and intangible assets, including depreciation of leased equipment which is included in cost of goods sold, and includes gains on sale of fixed assets (which includes gains from the sale of Saudi Arabia business operations - see Note 13). This non-U.S. GAAP measure may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and may have limited use as an analytical tool.
The Company recorded a loss before tax of $1.9 million for the first half of 2025, compared to a loss before tax of $1.3 million for the first half of 2024. Basic loss per share was 8 cents for the first half of 2025, compared to basic loss per share of 6 cents for the first half of 2024.
As of 30 June 2025, total assets were $10.2 million with the largest assets being inventory of $5.5 million, $1.3 million of accounts receivable, $0.9 million of property and equipment, and $0.7 million of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash.
Total liabilities as of 30 June 2025 were $6.8 million and stockholders' equity was $3.4 million. Total liabilities include $4.3 million of deferred revenue related to milestone payments on large projects expected to be delivered in H2 2025.
The Company ended the period with $0.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, supplemented by $0.6 million in payments received in early July 2025. The Company used approximately $0.6 million of cash in operations in the first half of 2025, which matched the $0.6 million used in operations in the first half of 2024. The Company used $0.01 million for investing activities in the first half of 2025, compared to $2.2 million generated in the first half of 2024 from proceeds from the sale of the Saudi branch assets. There were no financing activities in the first half of 2025 or 2024. The Company continues to manage its working capital carefully to align with growth ambitions.
Post the period end, the Company opened a line of credit ('LOC') which allows the Company to access up to $0.5 million, as and when required. The proceeds will enable MYCELX to increase funds available for sales and marketing, trial equipment and bridging project accounts receivable as the Company expands and accelerates its reach to meet the growing demand for its technology in PFAS remediation and Produced Water treatment. The LOC has a floating rate based on the Adjusted One Month Term of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.5% margin and is personally guaranteed by MYCELX's Chief Executive Officer. To date, the LOC remains undrawn.
Outlook
MYCELX expects a significant increase in revenue in the second half of 2025, driven by the delivery of contracted projects in Nigeria and the Middle East, alongside growth in recurring media sales, PFAS revenue, and equipment sales. The Company remains on track to achieve the lower end of its full-year revenue expectations, with the majority of revenue already contracted or recurring in nature. Operational momentum, highlighted by the successful Permian Basin trial and commencement of PFAS projects, positions MYCELX to expand its market presence in both Produced Water and PFAS remediation. Supported by careful cash management and the flexibility to pursue financing options for capital equipment opportunities, MYCELX remains well positioned to deliver growth in the second half of 2025 and beyond.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of presentation - These interim financial statements have been prepared using recognition and measurement principles of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ('U.S. GAAP').
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 have not been audited.
Liquidity - The Company believes that is has sufficient liquidity from available cash balances, cash generated from ongoing operations, and general ability to access the capital and debt markets to satisfy the operating requirements of the business through the next twelve months. In February 2024, the Company sold its Saudi Arabia branch assets for $7.125 million which included payment of $3.125 million at closing and up to $4 million deferred on a 24 month earn-out structure. Within the Statement of Cash Flows, of the $3.125 million of proceeds from the sale, $2.281 million is reflected as proceeds from sale of property and equipment, within cash flows from investing activities, and $844,000 is included in net loss within cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the Company raised gross proceeds of $0.9 million before expenses in a Placing of Common Shares in September 2024. The proceeds of these transactions will enable the Company to focus on accelerating its marketing and sales plan for its unique technologies in the PFAS remediation and Produced Water markets while also supporting other working capital needs. The Company actively manages its financial risk by operating Board-approved financial policies that are designed to ensure that the Company maintains an adequate level of liquidity and effectively mitigates financial risks.
On the basis of current financial projections, including a downside scenario sensitivity analysis considering only revenues that are contracted or that the Company considers probable and adjusting for direct cost of goods sold within the analysis, the Company believes that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future of at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these interim financial statements and, accordingly, consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim Financial Statements. Should the projected cash flow not materialise under certain scenarios, alternative actions to increase liquidity may need to be considered.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. The primary estimates and assumptions made by management relate to the inventory valuation, accounts receivable valuation, useful lives of property and equipment, volatility used in the valuation of the Company's share-based compensation and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results ultimately may differ from the estimates and the differences may be material to the financial statements.
Revenue recognition - The Company's revenue consists of filtration media product, equipment leases, professional services to operate the leased assets, turnkey operations and equipment sales. These sales are based on mutually agreed upon pricing with the customer prior to the delivery of the media product and equipment. The Company recognises revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Revenue from filtration media sales and spare parts (part of equipment sales) is billed and recognised when products are shipped to the customer. Revenue from equipment leases is recognised over time as the equipment is available for customer use and is typically billed monthly. Revenue from professional services provided to monitor and operate the equipment is recognised over time when the service is provided and is typically billed monthly. Revenue from turnkey projects whereby the Company is asked to manage the water filtration process end to end is recognised on a straight-line basis over time as the performance obligation, in the context of the contract, is a stand-ready obligation to filter all water provided. Revenue from contracts related to construction of equipment is recognised upon either factory acceptance testing or shipment of the equipment to the customer because the control transfers at acceptance or the point of shipment and there is no enforceable right to payments made as customer deposits prior to that date. Customer deposits for equipment sales represent payments made prior to transferring control at the point of shipment that can be refunded at any time when requested by the customer. Contract liabilities represent milestone payments on large equipment sales.
Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the Statements of Operations and therefore recorded as a reduction of net revenues. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.
The Company's contracts with the customers state the final terms of the sales, including the description, quantity, and price of media product, equipment (sale or lease) and the associated services to be provided. The Company's contracts are generally short-term in nature and, in most situations, the Company provides products and services ahead of payment and has fulfilled the performance obligation prior to billing.
The Company believes the output method is a reasonable measure of progress for the satisfaction of its performance obligations that are satisfied over time, as it provides a faithful depiction of (1) performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation under the contract and (2) the value transferred to the customer of the services performed under the contract. All other performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
The Company's contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is required to determine stand-alone selling price ('SSP') for each distinct performance obligation. The Company develops observable SSP by reference to stand-alone sales for identical or similar items to similarly situated clients at prices within a sufficiently narrow range.
All equipment sold by the Company is covered by the original manufacturer's warranty. The Company does not offer an additional warranty and has no related obligations.
Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue recognised in excess of amounts billed. Contract liability represents billings in excess of revenue recognised. Unbilled accounts receivable at 30 June 2025 and 2024, 31 December 2024 and 1 January 2024 was $nil, $99,000, $1.2 million and $255,000, respectively. The increase in unbilled accounts receivable during 2024 was due to the gain on the Saudi Arabia earn-out that was unbilled at year end. Contract liability at 30 June 2025 and 2024, 31 December 2024 and 1 January 2024 was $4.3 million, $1 million, $2.9 million and $nil, respectively.

Contract costs - The Company capitalises certain contract costs such as costs to obtain contracts (direct sales commissions) and costs to fulfil contracts (upfront costs where the Company does not identify the set-up fees as a performance obligation). These contract assets are amortised over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined is customer life and averages one year.
During the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company did not have any costs to obtain a contract and any costs to fulfil a contract were inconsequential.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash within ninety days of purchase. At 30 June 2025, all of the Company's cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash balances were held in checking and money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, cash in non-U.S. institutions was $nil, $1,000 and $1,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company classifies as restricted cash all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions. At 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, restricted cash included $50,000 in a money market account to secure the Company's corporate credit card.

Accounts receivable - Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, as necessary. Accounts are considered past due based on the contractual terms of the transaction. Credit losses, when realised, have been within the range of the Company's expectations and, historically, have not been significant. The Company measures its credit losses using a current expected credit loss model. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The allowance for credit losses represents the Company's best estimate of probable future losses in the accounts receivable balance, primarily based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance when the Company believes that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts at 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024 was $83,000, $58,000 and $83,000, respectively.
Inventories - Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and filter media finished goods as well as equipment to house the filter media and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Equipment that is in the process of being constructed for sale or lease to customers is also included in inventory (work-in-progress). The Company applies the Average Cost method to account for its inventory. Manufacturing work-in-progress and finished products inventory include all direct costs, such as labour and materials, and those indirect costs which are related to production, such as indirect labour, rents, supplies, repairs and depreciation costs. A valuation reserve is recorded for slow-moving or obsolete inventory items to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realisable value. The Company determines the valuation by evaluating expected future usage as compared to its past history of utilisation and future expectations of usage. The inventory reserve at 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024 was $675,000, $675,000 and $675,000, respectively. Changes to the inventory reserve are included in cost of goods sold. At 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, the Company had REGEN-related inventory of 23 percent, 48 percent and 32 percent of the total inventory balance, respectively, which is in excess of the Company's current requirements based on the recent level of sales. The inventory is associated with efforts to expand into the Enhanced Oil Recovery and Beneficial Reuse markets that the Company has identified as large global markets. These efforts should reduce this inventory to desired levels over the near term and management believes no loss will be incurred on its disposition. However, there is a risk that management will sustain a loss on the value of the inventory before it is sold. No estimate can be made of a range of amounts of loss that are reasonably possible should the efforts not be successful.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets - Prepaid expenses and other current assets include non-trade receivables that are collectible in less than 12 months, security deposits on leased space and various prepaid amounts that will be charged to expenses within 12 months. Non-trade receivables that are collectible in 12 months or more are included in long-term assets.
Property and equipment - All property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for reporting over the following useful lives:
Leasehold improvements |
Lease period or 1-5 years (whichever is shorter) |
|
|
Office equipment |
3-10 years |
|
|
Manufacturing equipment |
5-15 years |
|
|
Research and development equipment |
5-10 years |
|
|
Purchased software |
Licensing period or 5 years (whichever is shorter) |
|
|
Equipment leased to customers |
5-10 years |
|
|
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalised. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense includes depreciation on equipment leased to customers and is included in cost of goods sold.
Intangible assets - Intangible assets consist of the costs incurred to purchase patent rights and legal and registration costs incurred to internally develop patents. Intangible assets are reported net of accumulated amortisation. Patents are amortised using the straight-line method over a period based on their contractual lives which approximates their estimated useful lives.
Impairment of long-lived assets - Long-lived assets to be held and used, including property and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognised for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. Impairment analyses, when performed, are based on the Company's business and technology strategy, management's views of growth rates for the Company's business, anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions, and expected technological availability. For purposes of recognition and measurement, the Company groups its long-lived assets at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows, which are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. No impairment charges were recorded in the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024.
Research and development costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024 was approximately $105,000, $113,000 and $219,000, respectively.
Advertising costs - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024 was $25,000, $7,000 and $31,000, respectively, and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Income taxes - The provision for income taxes for interim and annual periods is determined using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. The deferred tax assets are recorded net of a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realised in future periods. Decreases to the valuation allowance are recorded as reductions to the provision for income taxes and increases to the valuation allowance result in additional provision for income taxes. The realisation of the deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance, is primarily dependent on the ability to generate taxable income. A change in the Company's estimate of future taxable income may require an addition or reduction to the valuation allowance.
The benefit from an uncertain income tax position is not recognised if it has less than a 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon audit by the relevant authority. For positions that are more than 50 percent likely to be sustained, the benefit is recognised at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Where a net operating loss carried forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward exists, an unrecognised tax benefit is presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset. Otherwise, the Company classifies its obligations for uncertain tax positions as other non-current liabilities unless expected to be paid within one year. Liabilities expected to be paid within one year are included in the accrued expenses account.
The Company recognises interest accrued related to tax in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. During the six months ending 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024 the Company recognised no interest or penalties.
Earnings per share - Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the exercise of common stock options. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Total common stock equivalents consisting of unexercised stock options that were excluded from computing diluted net loss per share were approximately 1,400,046 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and there were no adjustments to net income available to stockholders as recorded on the Statement of Operations.

Fair value of financial instruments - The Company uses the framework in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, to determine the fair value of its financial assets. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements.
The hierarchy established by ASC 820 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
• |
Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
|
• |
Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
|
• |
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
There were no transfers into or out of each level of the fair value hierarchy for assets measured at the fair value for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024.
All transfers are recognised by the Company at the end of each reporting period.
Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 generally relate to whether a market becomes active or inactive. Transfers between Levels 2 and 3 generally relate to whether significant relevant observable inputs are available for the fair value measurement in their entirety.
The Company's financial instruments as of 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024 include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency transactions - From time to time the Company transacts business in foreign currencies (currencies other than the United States Dollar). These transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Stock compensation - The Company issues equity-settled share-based awards to certain employees, which are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed, based on the Company's estimate of shares that will eventually vest, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Fair value for the share awards representing equity interests identical to those associated with shares traded in the open market is determined using the market price at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes valuation model (see Note 8).
Recently issued accounting standards - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB') issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2023. The Company adopted the new accounting standard for the fiscal year 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements, other than the newly required disclosure for significant expense. Refer to Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to improve the disclosures by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortisation) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). In January 2025, the FASB issued 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to modify the effective date previously stated in ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2024-03 would have on our financial statements and will adhere to the clarified effective date in ASU 2025-01 if implementation is necessary.
Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption not discussed above are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

During the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company removed property, plant and equipment and the associated accumulated depreciation of approximately $nil, $7.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, to reflect the disposal of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation expense for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024 was approximately $121,000, $201,000 and $330,000, respectively, and includes depreciation on equipment leased to customers. Depreciation expense on equipment leased to customers included in cost of goods sold for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2024 was $47,000, $128,000 and $186,000, respectively.
During 2009, the Company entered into a patent rights purchase agreement. The patent is amortised utilising the straight-line method over a useful life of 17 years which represents the legal life of the patent from inception. Accumulated amortisation on the patent was approximately $92,000, $86,000 and $89,000 as of 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, respectively.
In January 2023, the Company entered into a patent rights purchase agreement. The patents are amortised utilising the straight-line method over useful lives of 13 and 14.75 years which represent the remaining legal life of the patents on the date of purchase. Accumulated amortisation on the patents was approximately $9,000, $5,000 and $7,000 as of 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, respectively.
In addition to the purchased patents, the Company has internally developed patents. Internally developed patents include legal and registration costs incurred to obtain the respective patents. The Company currently holds various patents and numerous pending patent applications in the United States, as well as numerous foreign jurisdictions outside of the United States. In the six months ended 30 June 2025, there was no new expense for internally developed patents and fees on patents in progress.

The provision for income tax varies from the amount computed by applying the statutory corporate federal tax rate of 21 percent, primarily due to the effect of certain non-deductible expenses, foreign withholding tax, and changes in valuation allowances.
A reconciliation of the differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between an asset or liability's financial statement value and its tax reporting value using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse, and for other temporary differences as defined by ASC-740, Income Taxes. At 30 June 2025 and 2024 and 31 December 2024, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $8.3 million, $7.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, a change of $415,000, $303,000 and $370,000 for each period, for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not receive future tax benefits due to the uncertainty regarding the realisation of such deferred tax assets.
As of 30 June 2025, the Company has approximately $38.1 million of gross U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards and $3.6 million of gross state net operating loss carry forwards that will begin to expire in the 2025 tax year and will continue through 2044 when the current year net operating losses will expire. As of 30 June 2024, the Company had approximately $35.9 million of gross U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards and $3.7 million of gross state net operating loss carry forwards and at 31 December 2024, the Company had approximately $36.2 million of gross U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards and $3.3 million of gross state net operating loss carry forwards.
On 27 March 2020, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the 'CARES Act'). The CARES Act includes, but is not limited to, tax law changes related to (1) accelerated depreciation deductions for qualified improvement property placed in service after 27 September 2017, (2) reduced limitation of interest deductions, and (3) temporary changes to the use and limitation of NOLs. There was no material impact of the CARES Act to the Company's income tax provision for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 or for the year ended 31 December 2024.
On 16 August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ('IRA') was signed into law. The IRA levies a 1 percent excise tax on net stock repurchases after 31 December 2022 and imposes a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax for tax years beginning after 31 December 2022. There was no material impact of the IRA on the Company's income tax provision for 2024 or the period ending 30 June 2025.
The Company's tax years 2020 through 2024 remain subject to examination by federal, state and foreign income tax jurisdictions. However, net operating losses that were generated in previous years may still be adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service if they are used in a future period.
8. Stock compensation
In July 2011, the Company's shareholders approved the Conversion Shares and the Directors' Shares, as well as the Plan Shares and Omnibus Performance Incentive Plan ('Plan'). This included the termination of all outstanding stock incentive plans, cancellation of all outstanding stock incentive agreements, and the awarding of stock incentives to Directors and certain employees and consultants. The Company established the Plan to attract and retain Directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Company reserved an amount equal to 10 percent of the Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately following its Public Offering.
Upon the issuance of these shares, an award of share options was made to the Directors and certain employees and consultants, and a single award of restricted shares was made to a former Chief Financial Officer. In addition, additional stock options were awarded in each year subsequent. The awards of stock options and restricted shares made upon issuance were in respect of 85 percent of the Common Shares available under the Plan, equivalent to 8.5 percent of the Public Offering.
In July 2019, the Company's shareholders approved the extension of the Plan to 2029 and the increase in the possible number of shares to be awarded pursuant to the Plan to 15 percent of the Company's issued capital at the date of any award. The total number of shares reserved for stock options under this Plan is 3,654,572 with 1,499,668 shares allocated as of 30 June 2025. The shares are all allocated to employees, executives and consultants.
Any options granted to Non-Executive Directors, unless otherwise agreed, vest contingent on continuing service with the Company at the vesting date and compliance with the covenants applicable to such service.
Employee options vest over three years with a third vesting ratably each year, partially on issuance and partially over the following 24-month period, or if there is a change in control, and expire on the tenth anniversary date the option vests. Vesting accelerates in the event of a change of control. Options granted to Non-Executive Directors, Consultants and one Executive vest partially on issuance and will vest partially one to two years later. The remaining Non-Executive Director options expired at the end of 2016 on the five-year anniversary date of the grant.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company uses the Black Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of options granted. The Company's expected volatility is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company's stock over a period equal to the expected term of the awards. The expected terms of options are calculated using the weighted average vesting period and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a blended average yield of two- and five-year United States Treasury Bills at the time of grant. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes option pricing model for options granted in 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Total costs associated with short-term leases was $19,000, $47,000 and $62,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024, and 31 December 2024, respectively.
Legal - From time to time, the Company is a party to certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no current legal proceedings or other claims outstanding which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
The Company has held a patent rights purchase agreement since 2009 with a Director, who is also a shareholder, as described in Note 6.
ASC 280-10, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. ASC 280-10 requires that the Company report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ('CODM') in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'). While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, the business is principally managed on an aggregate basis as of 30 June 2025. The CODM, or CEO, uses net income to evaluate income generated from the Company's assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into further business development activities or to pay dividends. Net income is also used by the CEO to monitor overall budget versus actual results. The CEO is regularly provided with only the consolidated expenses as noted on the face of the income statement. For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Company's revenues were generated primarily in the United States ('U.S.'). Additionally, the majority of the Company's expenditures and personnel either directly supported its efforts in the U.S., or cannot be specifically attributed to a geography. Therefore, the Company has only one reportable operating segment.
Revenue from customers by geography is as follows:

14. Subsequent events
The Company discloses material events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financials are issued. In general, these events are recognised in the financial statements if the conditions existed at the date of the balance sheet but are not recognised if the conditions did not exist at the balance sheet date. Management has evaluated subsequent events through 17 September 2025, the date the interim results were available to be issued, and no events have occurred which require further disclosure other than the following:
On 19 August 2025, the Company opened a line of credit ('LOC') allowing the Company to access up to $500,000. The proceeds will enable MYCELX to increase funds available for sales and marketing and trial equipment. The LOC carries a floating rate based on the Adjusted One Month Term of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ('SOFR') plus 1.5% margin. The LOC has been personally guaranteed by the Company's CEO at no cost to the Company.
