Revenue from commercial businesses, including anti-aging and research products, totaled $9.1 million for 2024, up from $7.8 million in 2023. The increase was attributed to higher sales in the biomedical segment, particularly in media and cell products.

The company recorded a net loss of $209,000 for 2024, compared to a net loss of $131,000 in 2023. The loss was impacted by the absence of the Employee Retention Tax Credit received in 2023.
Cash provided by operating activities was $13,000, while cash used in investing and financing activities was $171,000 and $200,000, respectively.
The company had cash of $1.2 million at the end of 2024, down from $1.6 million in 2023. It acknowledges the need for additional capital to continue operations and develop products.
The filing discusses the company's focus on developing neural stem cells for treating Parkinson's disease and other central nervous system disorders. It also highlights the company's anti-aging skin care products and research products for the biomedical market.
