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®, EvolveTM 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.
In August 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) granted an unconditional registration for ContraPest as a restricted use pesticide (“RUP”), requiring purchase or application oversight by a licensed professional. In October 2018, the EPA approved the removal of the RUP designation and ContraPest was reclassified as a general use pesticide. To date, ContraPest is registered in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (49 states and the District of Columbia have approved the RUP designation) and two major U.S. territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In March 2022, the EPA granted a sub-label for ContraPest allowing for an alternative delivery system in a hanging bait station. This sub-label is marketed as Elevate Bait SystemTM and was designed to target roof rat habitats and infestations.
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 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. 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 regulatory agencies. 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
Our condensed financial statements as of June 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 accompanies 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. Specifically, we have incurred significant operating losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur
significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If we encounter continued issues or delays in the commercialization of fertility control products, our expected future losses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and negatively impact our ability to fund continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future and continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such financing, if necessary, will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through additional financings, sales of our products, licensing fees, royalty payments or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations.
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 June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $139.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 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) the 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) the 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 at June 30, 2025, in combination with anticipated revenue and any additional sales of our equity securities, including the most recent warrant exercise transaction in August 2025, see Note 11, Subsequent Events, will be sufficient to fund our current operations through at least the end of fiscal 2027.While we have evaluated and continue to evaluate our operating expenses and concentrate our resources toward the successful commercialization of fertility control products in the United States, additional financing may still be needed before achieving anticipated revenue targets and margin targets. If we are unable to raise 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 June 30, 2025, and our operating results and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 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 $34,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $57,000 and $121,000 for the six months ended June 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.
