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 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.
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 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 made from food ingredients with tolerance exemptions for both food and nonfood applications, which allows it to be used 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 48 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 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 March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $144.5 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $6.8 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, and our operating results and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 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
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 $23,000 and $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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.
