General

We were incorporated in the State of Wyoming on May 12, 2017 and operations of our Malaysian company began operations in July 2017. Consequently, the following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company is for fiscal periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements that are included elsewhere herein. The consolidated financial statements presented herein (and to which this discussion relates) reflect the results of operations of the Company and its Malaysian subsidiaries. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, except as required by law. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this quarterly report, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Overview

During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2025, BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. ("BGLC", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") continued to develop and refine its strategic focus across its three operational segments: healthcare diagnostics (MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd.), specialty chemicals (Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd.), and innovation-focused ventures (including digital health and blockchain-linked financial strategies).

We successfully completed the integration of Nasdaq-listed operations following our 2023 uplisting, while maintaining a stable liquidity position and initiating expansion into the digital healthcare and decentralized asset infrastructure sectors.

Strong Liquidity Position and Clean Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.36 million and total liquidity exceeding $5 million. "Total liquidity" is a management liquidity metric comprised of cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposits with original maturities greater than three months, investments in equity securities, and trade receivables, net. See the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for definitions of cash equivalents and fixed deposits. See also Note 15 for subsequent-events updates (Fidelion term sheet; Chemrex CDMO authorization) that may affect capital allocation and future liquidity planning. This liquidity position, combined with minimal outstanding debt and a simplified capital structure, provides a solid foundation for operational continuity, strategic investments, and potential M&A activities. We believe our capital structure - free of preferred stock, convertible debt, or high-yield instruments - positions us favorably to pursue growth initiatives on shareholder-friendly terms.

In light of the recent governance enhancements and upcoming growth initiatives, including expansion into digital health and decentralized financial infrastructure, the Company is actively exploring additional capital-raising mechanisms. These may include at-the-market offerings, private placements, or strategic financing arrangements subject to Nasdaq and SEC compliance.

Management believes current cash and expected financing under our proposed $20 million ATM program with Maxim Group LLC under our recently filed (but not yet effective) S-3 registration statement are sufficient for at least 12 months.

Development and Focus of Core Biotech Business

In July 2025, the Company, through MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd., entered into a non-binding term sheet with Fidelion Diagnostics Pte Ltd ("Fidelion"), a Singapore-based precision diagnostics company specializing in tumor-agnostic, minimal residual disease (MRD) detection. The non-binding term sheet is for a contemplated strategic, cross-equity alliance and exclusive commercialization rights for the VitaGuard™ MRD platform in Southeast Asia.

As disclosed elsewhere herein, on November 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement (the "SSSA") by and among Fidelion, the Company, Tongshu Biotechnology (Hong Kong) Co., Limited ("Tongshu"), Mr. Su-Leng Tan Lee, Molecule Bio LLC and Rainy Morning Technology (Hong Kong) Limited.

The broader transaction framework requires the negotiation, execution and closing of definitive agreements, including an exclusive intellectual property license for Southeast Asia between the Company and Fidelion and companion agreements between Fidelion and Wuxi Tongshu Biotechnology Co., Limited relating to intellectual property ownership and patent-support services. As of the date of this report, such agreements have not been executed, and the Company is not a party to the contemplated Fidelion-Tongshu agreements. There can be no assurance that any such agreements will be entered into on favorable terms, or at all, or that the conditions precedent to completion under the SSSA will be satisfied.

Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd., while currently deriving substantially all revenues from industrial chemical trading, has commenced a planned transition into a contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") model focused on biotechnology and high-technology manufacturing. The CDMO transition is being implemented in phases, beginning with facility upgrades, equipment procurement, and quality management system enhancements aimed at achieving Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification. This shift is expected to result in a gradual reallocation of Chemrex's revenue mix toward higher-margin biotech manufacturing contracts by 2026.

Digital Assets and Treasury Management

The Company's Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, approved by the Board in March 2025, remains a key element of our capital management approach. Ethereum holdings are intended as a long-term strategic asset and may be deployed, staked, or otherwise utilized to enhance liquidity, diversify reserves, and support capital market transactions. Management is actively monitoring regulatory developments in relevant jurisdictions, including Wyoming and Malaysia, to ensure compliance and optimize the strategy. We did not hold digital assets as of September 30, 2025 as the Management is still reviewing multiple proposals and cash allocation strategies.

Strategic Positioning for Growth and Innovation

Looking ahead, the Company intends to capitalize on its clean balance sheet and low compliance cost profile to pursue selective mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures that align with our long-term strategy. Our investments in digital healthcare, sustainable materials, and blockchain-based treasury solutions provide a forward-leaning platform for innovation. In particular, the Company's recently adopted Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, approved by the Board in March 2025, aligns BGLC with a transformational global financial infrastructure. This strategy not only enhances capital efficiency through potential staking yield but also signals the Company's commitment to institutional-grade innovation and regulatory alignment, especially given our Wyoming incorporation, which provides a favorable blockchain legal environment.

We believe this multi-pronged approach, centered on financial resilience, operational efficiency, and innovation, will allow the Company to deliver long-term shareholder value and act swiftly in a rapidly evolving global market.

The Company issued 300,000 shares of our common stock to Maxim for such service.

(b) Strategic Investment into Ascension Innovation Sdn Bhd. by our subsidiary, MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd.

Pursuant to a Form 8-K filed on April 18, 2024, the Company announced a strategic investment in Ascension Innovation Sdn Bhd (AISB), a privately held Malaysian company.

(c) Strategic Alliance with Tongshu Gene and Fidelion Diagnostics Pte Ltd

On July 30, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with Fidelion Diagnostics Pte Ltd ("Fidelion") for a contemplated strategic cross-equity alliance and exclusive commercialization rights for Fidelion's VitaGuard™ minimal residual disease (MRD) platform in Southeast Asia. Under the term sheet, the Company will acquire a strategic equity stake in Fidelion and Fidelion will receive an equity investment and license fee from the Company. The transaction is subject to execution of definitive agreements. VitaGuard™ is a tumor-naïve, liquid biopsy MRD platform capable of detecting cancer recurrence at variant allele frequencies as low as 0.02%, with cost per test expected to be under USD $300. The Company intends to lead regulatory submissions and a phased roll-out in Singapore and Malaysia, followed by expansion through ASEAN markets.

As disclosed elsewhere herein, on November 12, 2025, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing a Share Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement (the "SSSA") by and among Fidelion, the Company, Tongshu Biotechnology (Hong Kong) Co., Limited ("Tongshu"), Mr. Su-Leng Tan Lee, Molecule Bio LLC and Rainy Morning Technology (Hong Kong) Limited.

Pursuant to the SSSA, the Company agreed to subscribe for newly issued ordinary shares of Fidelion such that the Company will hold at least 15.0% of Fidelion's enlarged share capital at completion, in exchange for the Company issuing to Fidelion restricted shares representing 19.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock (pre-issuance). Completion of the SSSA is subject to specified conditions precedent, including execution of a Southeast Asia intellectual property license between the Company and Fidelion and customary corporate and third-party consents. The SSSA acknowledges, on a non-mechanical basis, a targeted post-closing fully diluted capitalization in which Tongshu would hold approximately 30% equity in the Company and the Company would hold approximately 15% in Tongshu.

The broader transaction framework requires the negotiation, execution and closing of definitive agreements, including an exclusive intellectual property license for Southeast Asia between the Company and Fidelion and companion agreements between Fidelion and Wuxi Tongshu Biotechnology Co., Limited relating to intellectual property ownership and patent-support services. As of the date of this report, such agreements have not been executed, and the Company is not a party to the contemplated Fidelion-Tongshu agreements. There can be no assurance that any such agreements will be entered into on favorable terms, or at all, or that the conditions precedent to completion under the SSSA will be satisfied.

Please refer to the stated Form 8-K for more information concerning the transaction.

Revenue. For the current quarter ended September 30, 2025, we had total revenue of $2,543,823 as compared to total revenue of $2,630,376 for the same quarter in the previous year. This represents a decrease of 3.3% for the reasons discussed below.

MRNA Scientific contributed $4,768 (0.2%) of the total revenue for the current quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to revenue of $2,563 (0.1%) of the total revenue from the same quarter in the previous year, representing an increase of 86%. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to more client referrals from diagnostic centers.

Chemrex contributed $2,539,055 (99.8%) of the total revenue for the current quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to revenue of $2,627,813 (99.9%) of the total revenue for the same quarter in the previous year. The 3.4% decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a lower sales volume during the current quarter.

Cost of Revenue. For the current quarter ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $2,166,138 in cost of revenues, as compared to $2,303,840 for the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease of 6% was for the reasons discussed below.

MRNA Scientific had incurred $864 (0%) of the total cost of revenues during the current quarter ended September 30, 2025. This represents a decrease of 59.2% as compared to $2,118 (0.1%) for the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease in cost of revenues for the current quarter is primarily due to reclassification of certain costs previously charged under cost of revenue to the R&D department. Specifically, costs associated with the BGS test were shared and reclassified.

Chemrex incurred $2,165,274, representing 100% of the total cost of revenue for the current quarter ended September 30, 2025. This represents a 5.9% decrease compared to $2,301,722 (99.9%) for the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to the weaker USD during the current quarter.

Gross Profit. For the current quarter ended September 30, 2025, we had total gross profit of $377,685 as compared to $326,536 in the previous year's same quarter. This represents an increase of 15.7% for the reasons discussed below.

MRNA Scientific contributed $3,904 (1%) of the total gross profit of $377,685 for the current quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to gross profit of $445 (0.1%) of the total gross profit for the same quarter in the previous year, representing a 777.3% increase. The increase in gross profit during the current quarter was primarily due to higher revenue, along with laboratory costs being reallocated to the R&D department for BGS tests.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2025, we had working capital of $4,948,779 compared with working capital of $5,479,146 as of December 31, 2024.

Our primary uses of cash had been for operations and strategic investments. The main sources of cash were generated from operational revenues, the private placement of our common stock, and the proceeds of our public offering. The following trends could result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

·

Addition of administrative and marketing personnel as the business grows,

·

Increases in advertising and marketing in order to attempt to generate more revenues, and

·

The cost of being a public company.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations together will be sufficient to sustain its current level of operations for at least the next 12 months of operations.
