MD&A

Our intellectual property portfolio is a key strategic asset supporting our global market position. We hold or have pending over 45 utility or design patents worldwide, protecting both the methods and systems underlying our SteraMist® BIT™ platform, with U.S. patents extending through 2038. Recent a…
We hold more than 30 design patents for decontamination devices, covering applicators, chambers, carts, and surface-mounted systems, across major global markets including the United States, China, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. In addition, we maintain over 200 trademarks registered or pendin…
In the second quarter of 2026, four key metrics delivered sustainable growth trends: BIT Solution sales, mobile equipment, single applicators—where TOMI’s patented iHP intellectual property resides—and support services, including qualification, acceptance testing, and training programs. The increase…
This growth clearly demonstrates that customers are expanding their deployment of our patented cold plasma technology. The applicator is a critical component that enables iHP to be utilized—whether paired with a mobile delivery system or installed in a permanent or semi-permanent configuration.
We only began emphasizing this strategy less than two years ago, and it builds on our consumable-driven model. In many ways, the applicator functions as a second “razor” in a razor-and-blade framework: it carries a longer replacement cycle than pure consumables such as BIT Solution, yet it has a sig…

Gross margin decreased from 60% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 50% in the current quarter, reflecting strategic price discounts to drive equipment adoption and an unfavorable product mix shift toward lower-margin equipment sales. Management views these factors as temporary, as growth in…
Operating expenses decreased $248,000, or 15%, to $1.5 million, reflecting disciplined cost management across professional fees, selling expenses, and general and administrative costs.

The Proposed Transaction with Carbonium Core may not be completed and may not achieve the anticipated benefits.
We generated a net loss of approximately $3.7 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also had an accumulated deficit of $58.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Prior to 2020, we did not generate any profit from our business operations.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
