PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) is focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming, and in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely used laboratory undertaking, the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (45,000 psi or greater) to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant, and microbial sources.

Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels - at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals - to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of biomolecules, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and our internally developed consumables product line, including PULSE® (Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction) Tubes, other processing tubes, and application specific kits (which include consumable products and reagents) together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System, or PCT SPS.

In 2015, together with an investment bank, we formed a subsidiary called Pressure BioSciences Europe (“PBI Europe”) in Poland. We have 49% ownership interest with the investment bank retaining 51%. As of now, PBI Europe does not have any operating activities and we cannot reasonably predict when operations will commence. Therefore, we do not have control of the subsidiary and did not consolidate in our financial statements. PBI Europe did not have any operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or in fiscal year 2018.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2019, we do not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising cash through debt and equity offerings in the past and as described in Notes 6 and 7. In addition we raised cash through debt financing after September 30, 2019 as described in Note 8. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Interim Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pressure BioSciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary PBI BioSeq, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Standards

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting as an amendment and update expanding the scope of Topic 718. The amendment specifies that Topic 718 now applies to all share-based payment transactions, even non-employee awards, in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. Under the new guidance, awards to nonemployees are measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. Also, the awards would be measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. In addition, entities may use the expected term to measure nonemployee awards or elect to use the contractual term as the expected term, on an award-by-award basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. Based on the new guidance, the Company will measure its nonemployee stock awards at grant date not when the stock awards are vested. This new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We enter into sales contracts that may consist of multiple distinct performance obligations where certain performance obligations of the sales contract are not delivered in one reporting period. We measure and allocate revenue according to ASC 606-10.

We identify a performance obligation as distinct if both the following criteria are true: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) and allocation of consideration from a contract to the individual performance obligations, and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, is the result of significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as historical sales, usage rates, costs, and expected margin, which may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on our financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are in included in cost of revenues as consistent with treatment in prior periods.

Our current Barocycler® instruments require a basic level of instrumentation expertise to set-up for initial operation. To support a favorable first experience for our customers, upon customer request, and for an additional fee, will send a highly trained technical representative to the customer site to install Barocycler®s that we sell, lease, or rent through our domestic sales force. The installation process includes uncrating and setting up the instrument, followed by introductory user training. Our sales arrangements do not provide our customers with a right of return. Any shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.

The majority of our instrument and consumable contracts contain pricing that is based on the market price for the product at the time of delivery. Our obligations to deliver product volumes are typically satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to our customers. Concurrent with the transfer of control, we typically receive the right to payment for the shipped product and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Payment terms require customers to pay shortly after delivery and do not contain significant financing components.

We apply ASC 845, “Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions”, to account for products and services sold through non-cash transactions based on the fair values of the products and services involved, where such values can be determined. Non-cash exchanges would require revenue to be recognized at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold if any of the following conditions apply:

	a)	The fair value of the asset or service involved is not determinable.

	b)	The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.

	c)	The transaction lacks commercial substance.

We currently record revenue for its non-cash transactions at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold.

In accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases, we account for our Barocycler lease agreements in which the Company is the lessor under the operating method. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’ for our instrument leases, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

We record revenue over the life of the lease term and we record depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the thirty-six-month estimated useful life of the Barocycler® instrument. The depreciation expense associated with assets under lease agreement is included in the “Cost of PCT products and services” line item in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Many of our lease and rental agreements allow the lessee to purchase the instrument at any point during the term of the agreement with partial or full credit for payments previously made. We pay all maintenance costs associated with the instrument during the term of the leases.

Revenue from government grants is recorded when expenses are incurred under the grant in accordance with the terms of the grant award.

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from grants and service contracts for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue from service contracts is recorded ratably over the length of the contract.

All consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above.

Contract Costs

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The costs to obtain a contract are recorded immediately in the period when the revenue is recognized either upon shipment or installation. The costs to obtain a service contract are considered immaterial when spread over the life of the contract so the Company records the costs immediately upon billing.

Beneficial Conversion Features

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.

Use of Estimates

To prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we are required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates were made in projecting future cash flows to quantify deferred tax assets, the costs associated with fulfilling our warranty obligations for the instruments that we sell, and the estimates employed in our calculation of fair value of stock options awarded and warrant derivative liability. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Concentrations

Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We have cash investment policies which, among other things, limit investments to investment-grade securities. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and the risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated by the fact that many of our customers are government institutions, large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic laboratories.

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of total revenues during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

	For the Three Months Ended

At this time, we believe that outsourcing the manufacturing of our new Barocycler® 2320EXT to CBM is the most cost-effective method for us to obtain and maintain ISO Certified, CE and CSA Marked instruments. CBM’s close proximity to our South Easton, MA facility is a significant asset enabling interactions between our Engineering, R&D, and Manufacturing groups and their counterparts at CBM. CBM was instrumental in helping PBI achieve CE Marking on our Barocycler® 2320EXT, as announced on February 2, 2017.

Although we currently manufacture and assemble the Barozyme HT48, Barocycler® HUB440, the SHREDDER SG3, and most of our consumables at our South Easton, MA facility, we plan to take advantage of the established relationship with CBM and transfer manufacturing of the entire Barocycler® product line, future instruments, and other products to CBM.

Investment in Equity Securities

As of September 30, 2019, we held 100,250 shares of common stock of Everest Investments Holdings S.A. (“Everest”), a Polish publicly traded company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We account for this investment in accordance with ASC 321 “Investments —Equity Securities”. ASC 321 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. On September 30, 2019, our consolidated balance sheet reflected the impaired value of our investment in Everest to be approximately $17,000.

Computation of Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, common stock dividends, and warrants and options to acquire common stock, are all considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to our net loss.

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We maintain equity compensation plans under which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options are granted to employees, independent members of our Board of Directors and outside consultants. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants

Valuation and Amortization Method - The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on certain assumptions. The estimated fair value of employee stock options is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

Expected Term - The Company uses the simplified calculation of expected life, as the Company does not currently have sufficient historical exercise data on which to base an estimate of expected term. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted.

Expected Volatility - Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock volatility data over the expected term of the award.

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 5% for awards granted based on historical experience and future expectations of options vesting. The Company used this historical rate as our assumption in calculating future stock-based compensation expense.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $115,002 and $151,314 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $722,576 and $299,584 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes the effect of this stock-based compensation expense within each of the line items of our costs and expenses within our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. Long-term liabilities are primarily related to convertible debentures and deferred revenue with carrying values that approximate fair value.

The issuances of our convertible promissory notes, common stock and common stock purchase warrants are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method.

The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes Option Model and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”).

If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note or preferred stock.

The convertible note is recorded at its fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the note, common stock and/or warrant. Further, upon issuance or modification, we examine the convertible promissory note for any intrinsic beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of which the convertible price of the note is less than the closing stock price on date of issuance. If the relative fair value method is used to value the convertible promissory note and there is an intrinsic BCF, a further analysis is undertaken of the BCF using an effective conversion price which assumes the conversion price is the relative fair value divided by the number of shares the convertible debt is converted into by its terms. The adjusted BCF value is accounted for as equity. Any warrant and BCF relative fair values are also recorded as a corresponding debt discount to the convertible notes.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) as it related to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

In determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company uses various valuation approaches. The Company employs a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2–Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined that its financial assets are classified within Level 1 and its financial liabilities are currently classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The development of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019:

			Fair value measurements at September 30, 2019 using:
	September 30, 2019		Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Leases (Topic 842)

The Company has early adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendment requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding lease arrangements. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, after December 15, 2018. Early application of this amendment is permitted for all entities. While we do not anticipate that going forward, leases will be material to our balance sheet, we chose to early-adopt as of December 31, 2018. We have one lease that is required to be included on our balance sheet under the new standard. This lease is an operating lease and, therefore, will have no income statement impact resulting from the adoption of this standard.

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

As disclosed in Note 4, the Company early adopted ASC 842 to our existing leases. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to leases of one year or less. Consequently, as a result of adoption of ASC 842, we recognized an operating liability of $136,385 with a corresponding Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset of the same amount based on present value of the minimum rental payments of the lease which is included in non-current assets and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The discount rate used for leases accounted for under ASC 842 is the Company’s estimated borrowing rate of 25%.

Our corporate office is currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. We are currently paying $6,950 per month, on a lease extension, signed on December 28, 2018, that expires December 31, 2019, for our corporate office. We expanded our space to include offices, a warehouse and a loading dock on the first floor starting May 1, 2017 with a monthly rent increase already reflected in the current payments.

We extended our lease for our space in Medford, MA to December 30, 2020. The lease requires monthly payments of $7,130.50 subject to annual cost of living increases. The lease can be extended by the Company for an additional three years unless either party terminates at least six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term.

Rental costs are expensed on a straight-line basis subject to future cost of living increases that are not known until the anniversary date of each year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 we incurred $135,864 and $137,074 in rent expense, respectively for the use of our corporate office and research and development facilities.

Following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2019:

Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants

We entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreement”) with various individuals (each, a “Purchaser”) between July 23, 2015 and March 31, 2016, pursuant to which the Company sold Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares issuable pursuant to the subscription amount (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,329,549 (the “Purchase Price”).

The Company issued a principal aggregate amount of $6,962,504 in Debentures which includes a 10% original issue discount on the Purchase Price. The Debenture does not accrue any additional interest during the first year it is outstanding but accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum for the second year it is outstanding. The Debenture has a maturity date of two years from issuance. The Debenture is convertible any time after its issuance date. The Purchaser has the right to convert the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $8.40 per share, subject to applicable adjustments. In the second year that the Debenture is outstanding, any interest accrued shall be payable quarterly in either cash or common stock, at the Company’s discretion. On September 11, 2017, we notified Debenture holders that their Debentures will be extended 180 days beyond the original maturity date as permitted in the Debenture agreement. We will continue to pay interest on the Debentures until the extended maturity date. We accounted for the Debenture extensions as debt modifications and not extinguishment of debt since the changes in fair value are not substantial in accordance with ASC 470-50. We started amortizing the remaining unamortized discount as of September 11, 2017 over the new term, which extends 180 days beyond the original maturity date.

In connection with the Debentures issued, the Company issued warrants exercisable into a total of 376,759 shares of our common stock. The Warrants issued in this transaction are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $12.00 per share, subject to applicable adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution if we issue any securities at a price lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Warrants have an expiration period of five years from the original issue date. The Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations and also include anti-dilution price protection for subsequent equity sales below the exercise price.

On May 2, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an existing shareholder pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 100 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate Purchase Price of $250,000. We issued to the shareholder a new warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.50 per share and an expiration period of five years from the original issue date.

The Company, pursuant to a price protection provision triggered on May 2, 2018 with the sale of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, amended the Debentures and Warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Debenture Holders entered into between July 22, 2015 and March 31, 2016 as first disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 28, 2015. The fair value of $207,899 relating to the reduction in exercise price was treated as a deemed dividend and recorded as a charge against additional paid-in capital within equity. The amended Debenture conversion price was exempt from revaluation because a beneficial conversion feature had already been recorded on the Debenture at issuance.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrants, at any time commencing six months from the Final Closing, the Company has the right to call the Warrants for cancellation if the volume weighted average price of its Common Stock on the OTCQB (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded) equals or exceeds three times the per share exercise price of the Warrants for 15 out of 20 consecutive trading days.

In connection with the Subscription Agreement and Debenture, the Company entered into Security Agreements with the Purchasers whereby the Company agreed to grant to Purchasers an unconditional and continuing, first priority security interest in all of the assets and property of the Company to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of Company’s obligations under the Debentures, Warrants and the other Transaction Documents. On May 14 and June 11, 2018, the Company signed letter agreements with the Debenture holders as explained below that discharged all of the Company’s obligations within the Debenture Agreement

Conversion of Debentures

On May 14, 2018, we entered into letter agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) with 22 investors (each a “Debenture Holder” and together the “Debenture Holders”) holding convertible debentures (collectively the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase common stock (the “Debenture Warrants”) whereby the Debenture Holders agreed to convert a total of $6,220,500 in principal and original issue discount due them under the Debentures into 2,448.20 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The Debenture Holders were also: (a) issued amended Debenture Warrants such that the exercise price will be $3.50 per share; and (b) issued a new warrant with an exercise price of $3.50 per share to purchase 2,448,200 shares of common stock (the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock shares received as a result of the Debenture conversions). The Debenture Holders also agreed to waive any and all defaults or events of default by the Company with respect to any failure by the Company to comply with any covenants contained in the Debentures. The fair value of $29,865 relating to the adjustment in exercise price was treated as a loan modification and recorded as a gain toward the extinguishment of debt.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into additional Letter Agreements with 15 Debenture Holders whereby the Debenture Holders agreed to convert a total of $742,135 in principal and original issue discount due to them under the Debentures into 296.80 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The Debenture Holders were also: (a) issued amended Debenture Warrants such that the exercise price will be $3.50 per share; and (b) issued a new warrant with an exercise price of $3.50 per share to purchase 296,800 shares of common stock (the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock shares received as a result of the Debenture conversions). The Debenture Holders also agreed to waive any and all defaults or events of default by the Company with respect to any failure by the Company to comply with any covenants contained in the Debentures. The fair value of $3,155 relating to the adjustment in exercise price was treated as a loan modification and recorded as a gain toward the extinguishment of debt.

In connection with the above Debenture conversions and cancellation of the debt term, the Company recorded the full amount of the remaining unamortized Debenture discounts of $157,908 as interest expense by June 11, 2018. The Company recorded $287,676 of the Debenture discounts during 2018 through the cancellation date of June 11, 2018.

On various dates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 56,007 shares of common stock based on the 10-day VWAP prior to quarter end to holders of the Debentures in payment of the quarterly interest accrued from the Debentures first anniversary date through December 31, 2017 for an aggregate amount of $211,047. We recognized a $9,615 gain on extinguishment of debt by calculating the difference of the shares valued on the issuance date and the amount of accrued interest through June 11, 2018.

Convertible notes

The Company, pursuant to a price protection provision triggered on May 2, 2018 with the sale of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, amended the conversion price of a March 12, 2018 loan to $2.50 per share. The fair value of $253,000, limited to the face value of the loan, relating to the reset in the conversion price was recorded as a debt discount and amortized as interest expense over the remaining loan term.

On various dates during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued convertible notes for net proceeds of approximately $4.6 million which contained varied terms and conditions as follows: a) maturity dates ranging from 2 to 12 months; b) interest rates that accrue per annum ranging from 3% to 15%; c) convertible into the Company’s common stock at issuance at a fixed rate of $2.50 to $7.50 or convertible at variable conversion rates either after 6 months after issuance or in the event of a default. Certain of these notes were issued with shares of common stock that were fair valued at issuance dates. The aggregate relative fair value of $226,133 of the shares of common stock issued with the notes was recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we also have evaluated our convertible notes (upon issuance or modification) for any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), reporting the BCF as additional paid in capital and debt discount of $451,665. Finally, we evaluate the convertible notes for derivative liability treatment on an on-going basis and have determined that all our notes did not qualify for derivative accounting treatment as of September 30, 2019. In this period, the amortization of this debt discount was $362,056 and as of September 30, 2019 the unamortized BCF debt discount was $89,610.

The specific terms of the convertible notes that are outstanding as of September 30, 2019 are listed in the tables below.

Revolving Note Payable and May 19, 2017 Promissory Note

On October 28, 2016, an accredited investor (the “Investor”) purchased from us a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Revolving Note”) due and payable on the earlier of October 28, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or on the seventh business day after the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined in the Revolving Note). Although the Revolving Note is dated October 26, 2016, the transaction did not close until October 28, 2016, when we received its initial $250,000 advance pursuant to the Revolving Note. As a result, on the same day and pursuant to the Revolving Note, we issued to the Investor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 20,834 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $12.00 per share. The Investor is obligated to provide us with advances of $250,000 under the Revolving Note, but the Investor shall not be required to advance more than $250,000 in any individual fifteen (15) day period and no more than $500,000 in the thirty (30) day period immediately following the date of the initial advance. We received $3,500,000 pursuant to the Revolving Note as amended of which $2,070,000 net proceeds was received in 2017 and we issued to the Investor warrants to purchase 291,667 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $12.00 per share. The terms of the Warrants are identical except for the exercise date, issue date, and termination date which are based on the advance date.

The Revolving Note was amended on May 2, 2017 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $3,000,000, to issue 16,667 shares of our Common Stock to the Investor, to decrease the exercise price per share of the warrants to the lower of (i) $12.00 or (ii) the per share purchase price of the shares of our Common Stock sold in the Qualified Offering, and to change the references in the Revolving Note from “the six (6) month anniversary of October 28, 2016” to “July 25, 2017.” The fair value of the 16,667 shares issued of $149,018 was accounted for as a note discount and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. We evaluated the accounting impact of the Revolving Note amendment and deemed that the amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The Revolving Note was amended on August 18, 2017 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $3,500,000 with all other terms unchanged. The Revolving Note, previously amended, was further amended on January 30, 2018 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $4,000,000 with all other terms unchanged.

In the event that a Qualified Offering had occurred after July 25, 2017, but prior to the Maturity Date, within seven (7) Business Days of the closing of the Qualified Offering, the Company was to pay a cash fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering or, at the option of the Company, issue to the Holder a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (x) five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering divided by (y) the purchase price provided by the documents governing the Qualified Offering. A “Qualified Offering” means the completion of a public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least Seven Million United States Dollars (US$7,000,000) in consideration of the purchase of its securities and resulting in, pursuant to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering, the Company’s common stock being traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange. A Qualified Offering did not occur on or prior to the Maturity Date.

Interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Note and fees of $95,000 were converted into 38 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $2.50 per share as discussed below.

Broker fees amounting to $336,500, the one-time interest of $400,000 and the relative fair value of the 333,334 warrants issued to the Investor amounting to $1,266,691 were recorded as debt discounts and amortized over the term of the revolving note. The unamortized debt discounts related to the Revolving Note were fully amortized as of December 31, 2017. The finance costs from advances after December 31, 2017 were charged to interest expense directly because the maturity date had passed.

On May 19, 2017, we received a 45-day non-convertible loan of $630,000 from the Investor. The loan provided guaranteed interest of $63,000 and had an origination fee of $32,000. We paid a broker $31,500 in connection with this loan.

Conversion of October 26, 2016 Revolving Note and May 19, 2017 Promissory Note

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Investor to convert a total of $5,500,000 in principal and interest due to the Investor pursuant to the Revolving Note and the May 19, 2017 promissory note into 2,200 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The Company also amended the Line of Credit Warrants held by the Investor. The Company lowered the Line of Credit Warrants’ exercise price from $12.00 per share to $3.50 per share. The fair value of $82,904 relating to the reduction in exercise price was treated as a loan modification and recorded as a charge against the extinguishment of debt.

The Company also issued a new warrant to the Investor with an exercise price of $3.50 per share to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock (the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock shares received as a result of the conversion of a total of $5,500,000). In connection with the Letter Agreement, the Investor also waived $520,680 of interest and fees owed as of September 30, 2018. We recognized $520,680 as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

Convertible Loan Modifications and Extinguishments

We refinanced certain convertible loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 at substantially the same terms for extensions of ranging from three to six months. We amortized any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the modification date over the remaining, extended term of the new loans. We applied ASC 470 of modification accounting to the debt instruments which were modified during the quarter or those settled with new notes issued concurrently for the same amounts but different maturity dates. The terms such as the interest rate, prepayment penalties, and default rates will be the same over the new extensions. According to ASC 470, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different and will be accounted for as modifications.

The cash flows of new debt exceeded 10% of the remaining cash flows of the original debt on seventeen loans in the nine months of 2019. We recorded losses on debt extinguishment of $332,474 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 by calculating the difference of the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the old debt. The loss was primarily from the fair value of common stock issued in connection with these refinancings and cash fees paid.

On various dates in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, two lenders converted $300,000 of amounts owed into 120,000 shares of common stock. The amount converted included $200,797 of principal and $141,453 of interest and fees.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is personally guaranteeing $190,000 of convertible debt of which $190,000 is outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in convertible debt and revolving note payable, net of unamortized discounts, during 2019:

Other Notes

In March 2018, we received non-convertible loans totaling $150,000 from private investors. The loans include one-year term and 10% guaranteed interest. We converted these loans into Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock warrants. See below.

In April 2018, we received a non-convertible loan for $10,000 from a private investor. The loan includes a one-year term and 10% guaranteed interest. We converted this loan into Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock warrants. See below.

As further disclosed on page 24, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates from 31% to 47%. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the disclosed Daily Payment Rate.

On September 9, 2019, we received a non-convertible loan for $400,000 from a private investor. The loan includes $95,000 of interest and fees through October 9, 2019.

The Company agreed to issue 1,200 shares of its common stock per month while the note remains outstanding. The loan will continue to earn 10% annual interest.

Merchant Agreements

We have signed various Merchant Agreements which entitle the lenders to our customer receipts. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. Under the agreements below we received the Purchase Price, of which approximately in exchange for rights to all customer receipts until the lender is paid the Purchased Amount, which is collected at the rate of the Daily Payment per business day. The difference between the Purchased Amount and Purchase price is imputed interest that will be recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Deferred Finance fees below were paid on the inception date. The payments were secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been paid in full.

The following table shows our Merchant Agreements as of September 30, 2019.

Inception Date	Purchase Price		Purchased Amount		Outstanding Balance		Daily Payment Rate		Deferred Finance Fees
August 5, 2019		600,000		816,000		503,439		4,533.33		6,000

Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with shareholders pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 1,415.6 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, each preferred share convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate Purchase Price of $3,539,000. Each share of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock will receive a cumulative dividend at the annual rate of eight percent (8%) payable quarterly commencing on March 31, 2019 on those shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock purchased from the Company. Broker fees amounted to $353,900 in cash and warrants to purchase 142,280 shares of common stock with a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.50 with relative fair values of $397,860.

We issued to the shareholders warrants to purchase 1,415,600 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Warrant will expire on the fifth-year anniversary after issuance. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event that we issue any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the exercise price for the Series AA Warrants then in effect. Upon any such issuance, subject to certain exceptions, the exercise price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents are issued.

Shareholders converted 16 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock into 16,000 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2019.

Stock Options and Warrants

Our stockholders approved our amended 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or other equity awards made under the Plan. Under the Plan, we may award stock options, shares of common stock, and other equity interests in the Company to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors, and to any other persons the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Plan expired and on July 18, 2018, the outstanding options to acquire 32,605 shares were transferred as discussed below to one of the other plans.

At the Company’s December 12, 2013 Special Meeting, the shareholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) pursuant to which 3,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or other equity awards. Under the 2013 Plan, we may award stock options, shares of common stock, and other equity interests in the Company to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors, and to any other persons the Board of Directors deems appropriate. As of September 30, 2019, options to acquire 409,064 shares were outstanding under the Plan with 2,590,936 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Plan.

On July 18, 2018, the Board of Directors approved the immediate termination of 244,467 outstanding stock options held by current officers, employees and board members (32,605 stock options under the 2005 Plan, 81,925 stock options under the 2013 Plan, and 129,937 stock options under the 2015 Plan) and the issuance of new stock options to the same holders with an exercise price of $3.40 per share equal to the closing market price on July 18, 2018 and an expiration date of July 18, 2028. The new stock options for board members will vest 1/12th per month for 12 months. The new stock options for officers and employees will vest 1/36th per month for 36 months. The 2005 Plan expired in 2015 so of the 32,605 terminated stock options, 16,641 stock options were issued under the 2013 Plan and 15,964 stock options were issued under the 2015 Plan (in addition to the reissuance of 81,925 stock options under the 2013 Plan, and 129,937 stock options under the 2015 Plan). The Board of Directors also awarded 101,267 stock options to officers, employees and board members separately based on the annual compensation committee recommendation. Of the 101,267 stock options issued, 51,934 stock options were issued under the 2013 Plan and 49,333 stock options were issued under the 2015 Plan.

On November 5, 2018 the Board of Directors approved the closing of the 2015 Plan and moved the 203,734 options outstanding in the 2015 Plan into the 2013 Plan which was then the only option plan still active. The unamortized expense related to this transfer is $108,400 which will be amortized over the remaining life of the options.

We evaluated this exchange and concluded that it was a modification under ASU 2017-09. Under ASU 2017-09, a cancelled equity award accompanied by the concurrent grant of (or offer to grant) a replacement award or other valuable consideration shall be accounted for as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award. Therefore, incremental compensation cost shall be measured as the excess of the fair value of the replacement award or other valuable consideration over the fair value of the cancelled award at the cancellation date in accordance with paragraph ASC 718-20-35-3. The total compensation cost measured at the date of a cancellation and replacement shall be the portion of the grant-date fair value of the original award for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered (or has already been rendered) at that date plus the incremental cost resulting from the cancellation and replacement. The compensation value created by the termination and issuance of new stock options, as determined under the Black Scholes method, was approximately $759,469 and under ASU 2017-09 results in a non-cash expense in current and future periods not to exceed the vesting periods of the stock options.

As of September 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock-based awards was $562,295, which is expected to be recognized over weighted average period of 0.81 years. The aggregate intrinsic value associated with the options outstanding and exercisable and the aggregate intrinsic value associated with the warrants outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2019, based on the September 30, 2019 closing stock price of $2.74, was zero.

Subsequent Events

From October 1, 2019 through December 13, 2019 the Company issued Convertible notes for a total of $806,750. The notes required 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued and included interest at rates ranging from 4% to 8% and are for terms of nine to twelve months. The Company also extended five Convertible notes (see below schedule) and issued 6,200 shares to settle a conversion of a convertible loan. Finally, during this period the Company extended a $170,000 non-convertible loan from a private investor to December 31, 2019 (with no extension or interest paid).

From October 1, 2019 through December 13, 2019 the Company issued 40 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock at $2,500 per share and received $90,000 net of $10,000 of broker fees. For every $2,500 invested, the investor received one share of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock at $3.50 per share and an expiration period of five years from the original issue date.

On November 15, 2019 and December 3, 2019, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPAs”) with the same private investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor purchased from the Company, for a total purchase price of $800,000 (the “Purchase Price”): (i) 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the total principal amount of $880,000 (the “Notes”); and (ii) common stock purchase warrants permitting the Investor to purchase up to a total of 176,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (the “Warrants”, and together with the Notes, the “Securities”).

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and mature on November 15, 2020 and December 3, 2020 (the “Maturity Dates”). The Notes contains customary events of default (each an “Event of Default”). If an Event of Default occurs, all outstanding obligations owing under the Notes will become immediately due and payable at the Investor’s election. Any outstanding obligations owing under the Notes which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to the adjustments described therein. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal to $2.50.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a General Security Agreement (the “GSA”) with the Investor whereby the Company granted to the Investor a continuing security interest in, lien upon and a right of setoff against, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets.

In connection with the SPAs, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “RRAs”) pursuant to which it shall (i) use its best efforts to file initial registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the Securities, within thirty (30) calendar days after the final closing date of the Company’s offering of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Filing Deadline); and (ii) have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission within one hundred fifty (150) days of the Filing Deadline.

OVERVIEW

We are focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming and, in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely-used laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, which we refer to as Pressure Cycling Technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and 45,000 psi or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.

Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler^®, and our internally developed consumables product line, which include our Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).

We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result we have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, including equity financing subsequent to September 30, 2019, we believe we will have the cash resources that will enable us to continue to fund normal operations into the foreseeable future.

We need substantial additional capital to fund normal operations in future periods. If we are able to obtain additional capital or otherwise increase our revenues, we may increase spending in specific research and development applications and engineering projects and may hire additional sales personnel or invest in targeted marketing programs. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

PBI has 14 United States granted patents and one foreign granted patent (Japan: 5587770, EXTRACTION AND PARTITIONING OF MOLECULES) covering multiple applications of PCT in the life sciences field. PBI also has 19 pending patents in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, China, and Taiwan. PCT employs a unique approach that we believe has the potential for broad use in a number of established and emerging life sciences areas, which include, but are not limited to:

	●	biological sample preparation – including but not limited to sample extraction, homogenization, and digestion - in such study areas as genomic, proteomic, lipidomic, metabolomic and small molecules;

	●	pathogen inactivation;

	●	protein purification;

	●	control of chemical reactions, particularly enzymatic; and

	●	immunodiagnostics.

We are also the exclusive distributor, throughout the Americas for Constant System’s cell disruption equipment, parts, and consumables. CS, a British company located several hours northwest of London, England, has been providing niche biomedical equipment, related consumable products, and services to a global client base since 1989. CS designs, develops, and manufactures high pressure cell disruption equipment required by life sciences laboratories worldwide, particularly disruption systems for the extraction of proteins. The CS equipment provides a constant and controlled cell disruptive environment, giving the user superior, constant, and reproducible results whatever the application. CS has over 900 units installed in over 40 countries worldwide. The CS cell disruption equipment has proven performance in the extraction of cellular components, such as protein from yeast, bacteria, mammalian cells, and other sample types.

The CS pressure-based cell disruption equipment and our PCT-based instrumentation complement each other in several important ways. While both the CS and our technologies are based on high pressure, each product line has fundamental scientific capabilities that the other does not offer. Our PCT Platform uses certain patented pressure mechanisms to achieve small-scale, molecular level effects. CS’s technology uses different, proprietary pressure mechanisms for larger-scale, non-molecular level processing. In a number of routine laboratory applications, such as protein extraction, both effects can be critical to success. Therefore, for protein extraction and a number of other important scientific applications, we believe laboratories will benefit by using the CS and our products, either separately or together.

We reported the following accomplishments during 2019:

Total costs and operating expenses	$	1,570	$	1,455	$	115			8	%	$	5,396	$	4,734	$	662			14	%

Gross profit margin on products and services decreased to 43% in three months ended September 30, 2019 from 55% in the same period of the prior year from a shift in the mix of revenue to services business. The gross profit margin decreased to 41% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 53% in same period of the prior year from a shift in revenue to services business and partly due to sales of products bought with dealer pricing. Gross margins may fluctuate in the fourth quarter of 2019 based on expected production volume, services offered and product mix.

Research and development expenses increased 6% and decreased 9% in the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to a product development project and costs relating to data research performed by collaboration partners in the prior period. The R&D team’s cost in performing work on BioPharma (BaroFold) Services was charged to cost of goods and services. Expenses generally include personnel costs, external development costs, supplies and other expenses related to our new products in development.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased 40% and 30% in the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the retirement of our Vice President of Marketing and Sales, augmented by a concomitant decrease in sales personnel.

General and administrative expenses increased 19% and 39% in the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. This increase included legal fees for fundraising, increased use of investor and public relations services, non-cash stock compensation relating to renewed vesting and repricing of stock options, and employee costs relating to the hire of a chief commercial officer with related travel for business development.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,											Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2019			2018			$ Change		% Change			2019			2018			$ Change		% Change
Interest expense	$	(2,124	)	$	(733	)	$	1391		189	%	$	(4,001	)	$	(3,016	)	$	985		33	%

Interest expense increased 189% and 33% in the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in interest expense in the current three-month period is attributable to an increase in convertible and other debt. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 the growth in interest expense from the increase in convertible and other debt was offset by lower interest expense from the conversion of the Revolving Note issued in October 2016 to equity in June 2018.

Other expense

Other expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Changes in income tax expense (benefit) in the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year are attributable to the recognition of a tax benefit for corporate alternative minimum tax paid in past years, which will be recovered in cash from 2019 to 2022. This benefit was reflected on the Company’s 2018 tax return, which was filed in the third quarter of 2019.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, we have substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising cash through debt and equity offerings in the past and as described in Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we received $8.1 million in net proceeds from loans and $3.2 million in net proceeds from sales of preferred stock in the first nine months of 2019. We have efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings.

We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations in future periods. If we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,019,345 as compared to $3,615,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net cash used in operations was principally attributable to the increase in the net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $28,915 compared to $0 in the prior period. Cash capital expenditures in the current year included laboratory equipment and IT equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,080,506 as compared to $3,540,468 for the same period in the prior year. The cash from financing activities in the period ended September 30, 2019 included $3,185,100 net proceeds from sales of preferred stock, $4,601,300 from convertible debt, net of fees and less payment on convertible debt of 3,705,485. We also received $2,956,750 from non-convertible debt, net of fees, less payment on non-convertible debt of $2,021,159. Related parties also lent us $239,000 in short-term non-convertible loans of which we repaid $175,000 back. The cash from financing activities in the period ended September 30, 2018 included $1,255,463 net proceeds from sales of preferred stock, $460,000 from our Revolving Note and $3,848,484 from convertible debt, net of fees and less payment on convertible debt of $2,097,750. We also received $1,595,901 from non-convertible debt, net of fees, less payment on non-convertible debt of $1,579,130. Related parties also lent us $116,100 in short-term non-convertible loans of which we repaid $58,600 back.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

This Item 3 is not applicable to us as a smaller reporting company and has been omitted.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 30, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019 is due to the continued presence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These material weaknesses are the following:

	●	We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard Company assets.

	●	Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to valuation of warrants and other complex debt /equity transactions. Specifically, this material weakness resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.

	●	Limited policies and procedures that cover recording and reporting of financial transactions.

	●	Lack of multiple levels of review over the financial reporting process

	We continue to plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:

	●	Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions, and to simultaneously achieve desired organizational structuring for improved segregation of duties. We plan to mitigate this identified deficiency by hiring an independent consultant once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significant additional working capital.

	●	Improve expert review and achieve desired segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

During the period covered by this Report, we implemented and performed additional substantive procedures, such as supervisory review of work papers and consistent use of financial models used in equity valuations, to ensure our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP. We have not, however, been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses due to our limited financial resources. Our remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We may, however, from time to time, be named as a defendant or are a plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The risks described in our Form 10-K and this Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as follows:

As a result of the delayed filing with the Commission of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, our lenders may accelerate the principal and interest payments of our debt, potentially harming our financial condition. In addition, we may find it more difficult to sell additional securities, potentially increasing our transaction costs and the amount of time required to complete financing transactions, potentially harming our business, strategic plan, and financial condition. Furthermore, our inability to timely file our periodic reports may adversely affect our reputation among investors, regulators, prospective employees, and others with whom we interact on a regular basis.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
