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. In November 2015, we 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, under the brand family Rodent Birth ControlTM.
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.
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 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 promoting 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 Section 25(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”). 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 is also formulated using acceptable food-based ingredients that are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), supporting its use in agricultural applications. There are 10 states that accept the federal exemption for pesticide registration and require no additional determination or approval. In states that do not accept the federal exemption, we must obtain registration from the various state agencies. We are authorized to sell Evolve Rat in 47 states and territories.
In May 2024, we launched Evolve Mouse, our latest iteration of the Evolve product line. Evolve Mouse is a modified version of our soft bait technology and contains the same active ingredient, cottonseed oil. Evolve Mouse limits reproduction capability of both male and female mice and is also considered a minimum risk pesticide under Section 25(b) of FIFRA. We are authorized to sell Evolve Mouse in 37 states and territories.
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 not generated sufficient revenue to date from product sales to cover operating expenses and have primarily funded our operations through the sale of equity securities, including common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $146.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million.
Our ultimate, long-term success depends upon the outcome of a combination of factors, including the following: (i) successful commercialization of our fertility control products and maintaining and obtaining regulatory approval of our products and product candidates; (ii) market acceptance, commercial viability and profitability of our 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 our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026, in combination with anticipated revenue, will be sufficient to fund our current operations through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Because that period is less than one year from the date these financial statements are issued, management evaluated our ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. Management's plans include growing revenue, managing operating expenses, and raising additional capital, including through sales of equity securities under our ATM Facility, and management believes these plans alleviate the substantial doubt that would otherwise exist regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 will be needed in order to fund our operating losses before achieving our revenue and margin targets and becoming profitable and generating positive cash flows. 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 our commercialization and development efforts, sell certain assets, or discontinue operations, or we may be required to take other measures that could impair our ability to be successful and operate as a going concern.
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 June 30, 2026, and our operating results and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2025 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, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments require additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements that disaggregate certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of the new guidance and any related changes to its financial reporting processes. Because the amendments affect disclosure only, the Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although adoption is expected to result in additional disclosures in the notes to its financial statements.
There have been no new accounting pronouncements that are 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 $42,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $65,000 and $57,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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.
