Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of Business SenesTech, Inc. (subsequently referred to in this report as “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in July 2004. On November 12, 2015, we subsequently reincorporated in the state of Delaware. Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing site are in Surprise, Arizona. We have developed and are commercializing products for managing animal pest populations through fertility control. Our current products focus on rat and mouse populations, and are known as ContraPest®, Evolve® Rat and Evolve Mouse. CONTRAPEST. ContraPest, our initial product, is a liquid bait containing the active ingredients 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide and triptolide. ContraPest targets the reproductive systems of both male and female rats, is a highly palatable formulation, does not cause illness or changed behavior in rats, and leads to significant reductions in fertility and rat populations. Accordingly, ContraPest is an additional tool to use as part of an integrated pest management program. To date, ContraPest is registered in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (49 states and the District of Columbia have approved the restricted use pesticide designation) and two major U.S. territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. EVOLVE. The Evolve product line, which began in the form of Evolve Rat, launched in January 2024, and is currently our lead product. Evolve Rat is a soft bait product that is novel to the pest control industry and contains the active ingredient, cottonseed oil. Evolve Rat reduces fertility in both male and female rats. Additionally, its palatable formulation produces high acceptance for sustained consumption even when other sought-after food sources are present. Evolve Rat does not cause illness in rats and, therefore, it does not change behavior or result in bait aversion. By targeting the reproductive systems of both male and female rats and with palatability generating continued consumption, the use of Evolve Rat can lead to a sustained reduction of the rat population. Evolve Rat meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA’s”) minimum risk pesticide conditions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”), Section 25(b). Due to its classification, Evolve Rat is exempt from federal registration because it poses little to no risk to human health and the environment. Evolve Rat may also be used in agricultural application, as it is made from food ingredients with tolerance exemptions for both food and nonfood applications. To date, we are authorized to sell Evolve Rat in 48 states and territories. In May 2024, we launched Evolve Mouse, our latest expansion of the Evolve product line. Evolve Mouse is a variation of our soft bait formulation and contains the same active ingredient, cottonseed oil, in a different concentration. Evolve Mouse limits reproduction of male and female mice and is also considered a minimum risk pesticide under the EPA’s FIFRA, Section 25(b). To date, we are authorized to sell Evolve Mouse in 37 states and territories. We are continuously enhancing ContraPest and Evolve to align with the unique needs and environments of our customers in our target verticals, while simultaneously pursuing regulatory approvals and amendments to our existing U.S. registrations to broaden its use and marketability. When regulatory and financial conditions permit, we will seek regulatory approval for additional jurisdictions beyond the United States. Going Concern Substantial Doubt Alleviated Our condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2025 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue as a going concern. The reports of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompany our financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 contain a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. In connection with the preparation of its condensed financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements, which indicated the probable likelihood that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements. As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, including proceeds from our recent financings. During 2025, the Company has completed financing transactions generating net proceeds of $13.2 million from the sale of common stock, including the exercise of outstanding warrants. The proceeds are available for operating expenses, including selling, general and administration expenses, as well as the cost of research and development. Based on its evaluation, coupled with the 2025 financing transactions, management believes it has mitigated the circumstance that led to a doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which existed at the time of the filing of the Company’s prior annual report. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $10.2 million as of September 30, 2025 will enable it to meet its obligations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses related to our research and development and commercialization efforts and we expect these losses to continue in the near term. We have generated limited revenue to date from product sales and have primarily funded our operations through the sale of equity securities, including common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $140.7 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $10.2 million. Our ultimate, long-term success depends upon the outcome of a combination of factors, including the following: (i) successful commercialization of fertility control products and maintaining and obtaining regulatory approval of our products and product candidates; (ii) market acceptance, commercial viability and profitability of fertility control products and other products; (iii) our ability to market our products and establish an effective sales force and marketing infrastructure to generate significant revenue; (iv) the success of our research and development; (v) our ability to retain and attract key personnel to develop, operate and grow our business; and (vi) our ability to meet our working capital needs. Based upon our current operating plan, we expect that cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2025, in combination with anticipated revenue and any additional sales of our equity securities, will be sufficient to fund our current operations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. While we have evaluated and continue to evaluate our operating expenses and have focused our resources on the successful commercialization of fertility control products in the United States, additional financing may still be needed before achieving our anticipated revenue and margin targets. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital through the sale of our securities, we may be required to take other measures that could impair our ability to be successful and operate as a going concern. In any event, additional capital may be needed in order to fund our operating losses and research and development activities before we become profitable. We may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise capital through equity or debt financing. If such equity or debt financing is not available at adequate levels or on acceptable terms, we may need to delay, limit or terminate commercialization and development efforts or discontinue operations. Condensed Financial Statements Our accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2025, and our operating results and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2024 is derived from audited financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our condensed financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates in our financial statements include the valuation of inventory, common stock warrants and stock-based awards, such as stock options and restricted stock units. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $55,000 and $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $112,000 and $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Comprehensive Loss We have no other comprehensive income items for the periods presented. As a result, our net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for the periods presented, and a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying condensed financial statements. Reclassification To conform with the 2025 presentation, we have reclassified the non-cash operating lease expense of $5,000 from the change in other assets in the condensed statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This reclassification had no impact on our condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
