PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Summary

B6 Sigma is a technology company that specializes in the development and commercialization of novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. It is the belief of our management that some of these technologies will fundamentally redefine conventional quality assurance and control practices by embedding quality assurance and process control into the manufacturing process in real time. In addition, the Company anticipates that its core technologies will enable its clientele to combine advanced manufacturing quality assurance and control protocols with novel materials to achieve breakthrough product potential in many industries including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, bio-medical and power generation.

Certain members of our team at B6 Sigma are uniquely qualified scientists with broad backgrounds in manufacturing and materials technologies. In the past, these members have worked with some of the largest defense contractors in the world, in such varied projects as next-generation manufacturing systems, advanced reactive munitions, nuclear weapons stewardship programs, and naval nuclear reactor programs.

Our current business plan and principal business activities include the continued development of our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) suite of technologies and the commercialization of both our IPQA® and materials-related suite of technologies, with our main focus currently on the 3D Printing ("3DP") industry and making operational the contract manufacturing business for metal 3DP, which technologies are described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our strategy is to leverage our manufacturing and materials knowledge, experience and capabilities through the following means: (i) identify, develop and commercialize manufacturing and materials technologies designed to improve manufacturing and quality control practices, and create innovative products in a variety of industries; (ii) provide engineering consulting services in respect of our manufacturing and materials technology expertise to third parties that have needs in developing next-generation technologies for materials and manufacturing projects; and (iii) build and run a contract manufacturing division for metal 3DP using our recently installed Electro Optical Systems (EOS) GmbH M290 DMLS® (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) ("EOS M290") state-of-the-art metal printer. We are presently engaged in a variety of activities in which we seek to commercialize technologies and products in the following industry sectors:

We expect to generate revenues primarily by direct sales or licensing our manufacturing and materials technologies to businesses that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes and/or manipulate and improve the most functional characteristics of the materials and other input components used in their business operations. Additionally, we expect to begin to generate revenues from our contract manufacturing activities in metal 3DP. We also expect that our continued development of our “In Process Quality Assurance™” or “IPQA® technology will enable us to commercialize this technology for the AM metal market in the remainder of 2015 and 2016. We plan to assist our commercialization partners with marketing-related activities for those advanced material-related technologies, including our dental implant biomedical prosthetics technology, for which we seek possible commercialization in the future. However, we presently make no sales of these technologies. Since its inception, B6 Sigma has generated revenues primarily from engineering consulting services it provides to third parties.

Our board of directors, management and business advisors comprise scientists and business professionals with extensive experience in the energy and advanced manufacturing and materials technology markets, as well as business operations. These individuals collectively possess over 100 years of experience working in the advanced manufacturing, materials technology and commercial industry space. As such, we believe we possess the resident expertise to provide engineering consulting services to other companies regarding their manufacturing operations, or to companies seeking to improve the design of their products by using alternative next-generation materials or improving certain characteristics of the original design through the use of 3DP, on a fee for services basis. Accordingly, in addition to our primary business focus, we intend to generate revenues by providing such engineering consulting services to businesses seeking the same. Such consulting services may not necessarily involve deployment of our own technologies and may be limited to consulting with respect to the development, exploitation or improvement of the client’s own technology.

Additionally, our President and Chief Executive Officer has worked at or with the Edison Welding Institute, the United States Department of Energy (“DOE”) national laboratories (including the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory) over the last 20 years. Due to his work with the DOE, our President and Chief Executive Officer has developed extensive relationships with the DOE and its network of national laboratories. Accordingly, we expect to leverage these relationships in connection with licensing and developing technologies created at such national laboratories for commercialization in the private sector.

The Company acquired Sumner & Lawrence Limited (dba Sumner Associates) in December 2011. Sumner Associates was a private consulting company that provided services to the public and private sector. Sumner Associates was dissolved during fiscal 2014 as the number of its contracts had been reduced in the past two years due to, among other things, changing funding climates within the DOE.

EARLY STAGE TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION AND MARKET POSITIONING

Since our inception, we have made tremendous progress in bringing early stage technology from scientific concept and curiosity to practical reality, as described below.

1. In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) for Additive Manufacturing. We believe that "additive manufacturing" ("AM"), also known as 3D Printing, will significantly impact the manufacturing landscape and revolutionize 21st century industry. AM results in very efficient metal utilization for parts made on-demand, and utilizes a wide variety of rapid prototyping methods. As a result of AM, parts can go straight from digital computer designs and 3D computer models to actual, physical parts in a single step. However, there are severe challenges in connection with 3D printing of metal parts. Current manufacturing processes are not capable of making every part right the first time. Also, process consistency and repeatability require further development for metal parts and this is a typical case for emerging technologies. Although many industry experts have lamented that 3D Printing for metal parts is currently a “black art” with limited applications, Sigma is developing its IPQA® technology into a breakthrough hardware and software suite of products for AM known as PrintRite3D®, which we expect will fully address some these shortcomings and enable serial production for metals AM technology to be realized sooner than would otherwise be possible given its current state of maturity. PrintRite3D® comprises a suite of software modules that address the three fundamental problems facing metal AM today, namely: assuring the metal integrity of the product; assuring the as-built geometry of the product; and, increasing the productivity or speed of the AM process.

2. Contract Manufacturing for Metal Additive Manufacturing. According to the Wohlers 2014 Annual Report, the service provider segment, industry growth in 2013 was limited by access to capital, so small companies developed expertise around specific types of AM machines and niche markets. Contract manufacturers are in the early stages of adding metal AM systems to supply production parts to aerospace and industrial original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). We believe that most AM machines produced through 2013 are not well suited for production applications. They have limited feedback measurement and control sensors to guarantee part quality. Some of the latest machines available, such as EOS’s M290 machine, are beginning to be sold with advanced measurement systems.

General Electric Aviation ("GEA") purchased Morris Technologies, and its sister company, Rapid Quality Manufacturing, in 2012. At that time, Morris Technologies controlled approximately half of the metal laser capacity in the U.S. As a result, OEMs like GEA and Honeywell Aerospace seek to build internal capacity and secure new sources for AM metal parts. Sigma believes that this service provider market segment provides further opportunity to capture significant portions of the growing demand for metal production parts. Accordingly, Sigma has acquired its first EOS M290 machine in 2014. Using the highly reliable M280 as its base, the M290 adds improved energy efficiencies, faster build times, and slightly larger build platform capabilities. Through our EOS M290 machine, our customers will gain the benefits of many years of M280-proven applications while accessing the latest in DMLS technology, as well as receiving parts produced using our state-of-the-art PrintRite3D® quality assurance technology.

3. Biomedical Implant Technology. The Company has developed and demonstrated at a working prototype level the ability to modify the surface of a metal substrate, in this case, a commercially available dental implant made from commercially pure (CP) titanium. Further, the Company has demonstrated during pre-clinical trials in 2011 in Canada with human patients that the treated dental implants were able to fully integrate with the human jaw in a period of four weeks as opposed to the more typical eight-twelve weeks or longer for currently available untreated dental implants. The Company does not currently have the resources to continue its commercialization efforts of such technology without the assistance of a partner or licensee. However, Sigma and Metallicum Inc., a subsidiary of Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., with whom we entered into an exclusive marketing agreement, effective May 24, 2014, pursuant to which we granted Manhattan Scientifics a five-year exclusive right to seek to identify prospective licensees and strategic partners for the purpose of commercializing our dental technology, could benefit from the results of a program starting in 2015 at Los Alamos National Laboratory and funded by the State of New Mexico's Small Business Association Program. The overall objective of this program is to enhance the commercial value of the existing intellectual property portfolios of Metallicum and Sigma by quantifying the extent to which the surface of either nanostructured Grade 4 titanium or nanostructured Grade 4 titanium modified by our surface treatment displays biocompatibility beyond that of conventional Grade 4 titanium with or without the B6 Sigma surface treatment.

4. Advanced Munitions Technology. The Company has developed and demonstrated at a working prototype level several classes of energetic materials which have structural strength until impact, and then release energy into the target without generating dangerous shrapnel which could fly out of the explosion zone. The Company believes that this selective munitions technology, if commercialized, will enable our forces to engage the enemy without harming civilians and will enable drones to have new strike capabilities. The Company does not currently have the resources to continue its commercialization efforts of such technology without the assistance of a partner or licensee. The Company has licensed the technology to Allotrope Sciences Corporation ("Allotrope") under an exclusive license agreement with Allotrope entered into in April 2013, pursuant to which we granted Allotrope rights to market and sell Sigma's ARMS™ and BAM™ technologies to U.S. and Foreign Government customers.

A detailed description of our technologies and business follows:

Next-Generation Quality Assurance Solutions for Additive Manufacturing

The Market

An area of increasing interest in the manufacturing world is AM or 3DP. AM is a method of producing functional parts directly from computer design files without any tooling or other processing.

The sale of AM products and services is expected to exceed $7 billion worldwide by 2016. The AM industry is expected to more than quadruple to about $12.5 billion by 2018. By 2020, the AM industry is forecasted to exceed $21 billion, all according to Wohlers 2014 Annual Report.

Metal parts are a rapidly growing segment of this overall market space as AM or 3D printing moves from just making models to making actual, fully functional parts. Large firms such as Honeywell Aerospace, GEA and Boeing Aircraft Company view AM as an enabling process for many components. GEA has foreseen that up to 50 percent of its aero-engine parts will be made by AM by 2016 and has sought to remove 1,000 lb from its current 4,000 lb engines by 2020. Further, both GE and Honeywell have made known their dissatisfaction with the inconsistency of the AM process from part-to-part and from machine-to-machine as early as January 2012 (MIT Technology Review). The Company believes that companies such as GE and Honeywell cannot achieve these ambitious weight reduction goals without new quality assurance and control technologies for metal AM parts because current quality control methods are not sufficient to allow cost-effective manufacturing of safety- and performance-critical metal parts. The Company believes that our PrintRite3D® technology would directly address this shortcoming for metal parts and allow such AM applications to move forward. As noted below, we are providing consultant services to GEA and Honeywell Aerospace to assist in these goals.

As further evidence of the demand for new quality control methods for safety-critical additive manufacturing, the US Navy’s Chief Scientist, W.E. Frazier, commented that the need for real-time quality monitoring and control is essential to achieving the Navy’s goals for additive manufacturing. This is precisely the technology that would be provided by our PrintRite3D® technology. There is currently a very limited supplier base providing high value-added, performance and safety-critical metal parts including the OEM captive job shops. We believe that none are currently capable of addressing the issue of real-time quality control. Our PrintRite3D® is currently a market leader in this area.

The Company has ongoing contracts that include a Period 2 project with Honeywell Aerospace funded by the Defense Advanced Projects Agency ("DARPA") on the application of our PrintRite3D® to performance-critical AM metal parts. This project is vitally important because it provides an early opportunity to further demonstrate how our In-Process Quality Assurance™ technology or PrintRite3D® will reduce unnecessary post process inspection costs and improve quality for AM of highly critical aerospace metal components. Also, B6 Sigma was a participant on a GEA led team of companies and universities, which were recently awarded a research contract by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (“NAMII” or AmerciaMakes) titled, “In-Process Quality Assurance™ for Laser Powder Bed Production of Aerospace Components”. The contract has the stated objective of maturing the In Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) technology for aerospace applications by leveraging a development approach incorporating multiple AM OEM machines, multiple superalloys, and multiple product intent aerospace components. Lastly, we were part of a large research team, led by the Edison Welding Institute, that was awarded a grant funded by the National Institute of Standards ("NIST") to ensure that quality parts are produced and certified for use in products made by a variety of industries and their supply chains. The emphasis is on providing tools needed for additive manufacturing applications to progress from prototype to serial production.

Technology and Competitive Advantage

Sigma appears positioned to provide the AM market a product offering for real-time quality assurance and control based on our core competency in real-time monitoring and control called PrintRite3D®. Our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technology appears ideally suited to meet the needs of AM at this critical juncture in its development. Our technology will allow AM to be used during manufacturing of safety-critical or performance-critical metal parts, such as used aerospace and defense. Currently, these applications are difficult because the part quality cannot be completely guaranteed, and using inspection after manufacturing is difficult, costly and does not find all defects of concern. Therefore, we believe that PrintRite3D® will be a vital enabler for AM to realize its full potential. Sigma has unique offerings in this field. Furthermore, as a greater number of these AM applications could be cloud-based, the PrintRite3D® technology is fully compatible with highly networked, cloud-based implementation – subject to the data and intellectual property restrictions which may be imposed by some companies for competitive reasons.

We believe that Sigma's unique process know how and trade secrets of IPQA® for AM, and U.S. patent awards and patents pending for monitoring and control for processes specifically including AM, along with its PrintRite3D® technology has uniquely positioned Sigma to be a leader in the market space for quality assurance technologies for AM. Our proven and sophisticated analysis software has been demonstrated and tested at many manufacturing sites around the world which has validated the PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ and SENSORPAK™ modules. In addition, Sigma has strategic relationships with experienced aerospace companies in North America that are assisting in the validation of our PrintRite3D® suite of modules.

Also, we continue to work with General Electric under our Joint Technology Development Agreement ("JTDA"), dated April 10, 2013, with General Electric to advance and implement in-process inspection technologies for additive manufactured jet engine components. Lastly, we are continuing to work with Honeywell Aerospace on the separate development of our PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software module for metal-based AM under our Trial Evaluation Agreement with Honeywell Aerospace, which sets forth the parties' intent to use Honeywell's Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Center as a beta test site for our PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software module.

Business Model

Sigma believes the concept would entail utilizing our innovative sensing and process monitoring, quality assurance and control technologies to develop integrated and interactive systems of in-process inspection, feedback, data collection and critical analysis. Such systems would benefit users comprising AM OEM equipment manufacturers, aerospace, defense, and biomedical OEMs, as well as other high-margin and high-volume OEM producer of parts such as oil and gas and automotive, respectively. Sigma has commercially released beta-versions of the following product offerings:

The following software modules are either in development or envisioned as complementary product offerings:

We envision a business model comprising either direct PrintRite3D® product sales with supporting engineering services or engineering services wherein we use our own PrintRite3D® products to solve customer specific quality assurance problems. The target markets would be end users having an AM machine capable of making metal parts as well as AM software and equipment OEMs. PrintRite3D® system sales are designed to run on different machine platforms allowing us to maximize our product offering to the entire AM metal market. Also, in conjunction with our JTDA with GE Aviation, we envision PrintRite3D® being used in the manufacture of fuel nozzles for GE’s newest jet engine - the LEAP engine. Including our PrintRite3D® technology as part of GE Aviation’s quality control model should provide the necessary “objective evidence of compliance” required by their customer (the F.A.A.) to ensure production quality and process reliability. Further, we envision a license and royalty aspect to our business model for AM OEM equipment makers wishing to embed our PrintRite3D® technology into new and existing AM machines worldwide.

We believe another much needed area for AM metal parts manufacturing is in software “Apps” for reducing design and development cycle times, saving the end customer time and money. These Apps could utilize the Cloud as the future of AM is moving towards data files and part data being stored in and downloaded from Cloud-based resources. We therefore envision extending our competitive advantage in the future by further developing and offering a PrintRite3D® CAD suite of Apps which would be specifically developed to improve part designs and significantly reduce traditional trial and error design approaches for features such as distortion control.

By combining the AM manufacturing capability of a leading aerospace company with Sigma’s real-time nondestructive inspection technology, a unique product offering (systems package) will be available to OEMs and end-users. After installing Sigma’s PrintRite3D® inspection systems, a database systems package will be actively marketed to OEM’s and principal end users. Finally, ‘user’ advisory groups could be formed to facilitate exchange of information, needs, new developments, etc. utilizing ever-green, annual contracts.

To summarize, Sigma is a small, high-technology company focusing on real-time, advanced quality assurance solutions for additive manufacturing thereby increasing the value of the AM part.

Contract Manufacturing/Service Bureau for Metal Additive Manufacturing

The Market

According to the Wohlers 2014 Annual Report, it has been reported that the demand for production parts is expected to drive annual revenues to much higher levels. This market segment comes with significantly higher quality standards compared with modeling and prototyping applications. The AM market in 2013 for all AM products and services worldwide was approximately $3.07 billion. Worldwide revenues from AM services grew 26.3% to $1.56 billion in 2013, 36.6% in 2012, 30.7% in 2011, and 25.3% in 2010.

As demand continues to increase for prototyping services and as industrial companies begin to gain regulatory acceptance for AM designed parts, there is an increasing need for contract manufacturing services to produce these AM parts. The existing service bureau for AM parts is small and fragmented and does not currently have the capacity to meet the expected future demand for AM parts.

Technology and Competitive Advantage

We believe that a unique selling point or competitive advantage is our PrintRite3D technology that we believe will provide customers with the necessary objective evidence of compliance of the 'as designed' intent through the use of 'as made' data for performance and safety-critical components.

Business Model

We believe there is sufficient room in the burgeoning AM service provider market to allow us to establish a presence and expand into a leading provider of AM produced metal parts.

We envision a business model comprising revenues from contract manufacturing sales for prototyping services as well as Small Lot Intelligent Manufacturing™ (SLIM®) sales for products made with our PrintRite3D® technology. The target markets would be end users requiring high-end metal parts such as in the aerospace, oil & gas, bio-medical and automotive markets.

Biomedical Prosthetics, Implants and Munitions Technologies: Next Generation

The Company also has dental and munitions technologies. If we identify suitable licensees or commercialization partners with respect to these technologies, we expect to limit our activities in these areas to marketing assistance.

In April 2013, Sigma entered into an exclusive license agreement with Allotrope. Under the agreement, Allotrope is obligated to pay specified license fees and low single digit royalties on sales relating to the licensed patents. The initial term of the agreement is five years, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement, which may be renewed by Allotrope for up to three additional periods of one year each after the expiration of the initial term. Additionally, Allotrope may consider sales to system integrators requiring enhancements to current weapons systems where it makes business sense.

We have not yet identified and may not be successful in identifying a credible commercialization partner for our biomedical prosthetics and implant technology.

Recent Developments (in reverse chronological order)

On January 15, 2015, we announced that B6 Sigma was granted its first contract from GE Aviation as a member of the previously-announced winning team of companies and universities awarded an “America Makes” AM research project. The project is funded by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute and covers Sigma's proprietary IPQA® software for advanced AM monitoring.

On December 10, 2014, we announced that we signed a technology cooperation agreement with Additive Industries B.V., which develops next-generation 3D printing equipment.

On November 3, 2014, we announced that we received a contract from Honeywell Aerospace as part of a DARPA Phase II award; Phase I work was completed earlier in 2014. The DARPA program’s goal is to develop an Integrated Computational Material Engineering framework to accurately predict the properties of metal components produced using additive manufacturing. Phase II work began in the fourth quarter of 2014 and is expected to run through mid-2016, with a total award value to Sigma of approximately $500,000, approximately $59,000 of which was generated in 2014, subject to the achievement by us of certain milestones.

On September 23, 2014, we announced the receipt of an initial contract from Edison Welding Institute as part of the previously-announced grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's NIST for the development of in-process sensing and monitoring capabilities to ensure consistent quality in 3D printing. The grant, worth $5 million in total, was awarded to a group of universities, laboratories, and companies in the field of additive manufacturing; Sigma's contract will evaluate the company’s PrintRite3D® technology for monitoring and control applications. Under the contract, we expect to generate by the end of the second quarter of 2015 an aggregate of approximately $150,000 in revenues, approximately $112,478 of which was generated in 2014.

On September 8, 2014, we announced the commercial launch of our PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ quality assurance software. The PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ software addresses one of the three challenges currently confronting the 3DP of metal parts, namely getting the right quality. For the most critical applications like aerospace and defense, there remains a considerable amount of variation part-to-part, run-to-run, and machine-to-machine. Accordingly, extensive post-process inspection is required. PrintRite3D® INSPECT™, when coupled with PrintRite3D® SENSORPAK™, real-time multi-sensors and hardware platform, generates part quality metrics and reports during manufacturing, eliminating post-manufacturing quality inspection. PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ also provides manufacturing engineers with part quality metrics and reports based on rigorous statistical analysis of manufacturing process data, and permits non-suspect parts to by-pass traditional post-process inspection.

On June 19, 2014, we announced that we acquired the latest generation Model 290 3D metal printer from EOS GmbH for the purpose of making parts for users of performance-and safety-critical components. The printer will also serve as an in-house test bed for future upgrades to our commercially-available PrintRite3D quality assurance system. We completed the installation and integration of the printer with our PrintRite3D® quality assurance system in early 2015.

On June 12, 2014, we announced that we entered into a contract with Adurant Technologies, LLC, a Cloudera® and Oracle® Gold Partner, to assist us in formulating, designing and deploying a unified ‘Big Data’ methodology to support the integration of our PrintRite3D® systems with both existing and legacy manufacturing and production infrastructure systems.

On May 6, 2014, we announced that we entered into a Trial Evaluation Agreement with Honeywell International, Inc., which sets forth the parties' intent to use Honeywell's Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Center as a beta test site for our PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software module for metal-based additive manufacturing.

On April 22, 2014, we announced that Sigma signed a Technology Cooperation Agreement with Materialise NV. The agreement sets forth the parties' intent to collaborate technically and commercially in the integration, production and marketing of PrintRite3D® software-related products for metal-based additive manufacturing.

On March 25, 2014, we announced that we filed a patent application for a unique sensor invention that helps both process development and quality assurance in AM of metal components.

Competition

We believe our technologies will be beneficial to several industries, including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, bio-medical, and power generation. However, developments by others may render our current and proposed technologies noncompetitive or obsolete, or we may be unable to keep pace with technological developments or other market factors. Additionally, our competitive position may be materially affected by our ability to develop or successfully commercialize certain technologies that we have identified for commercialization. Other general external factors may also impact the ability of our products to meet expectations or effectively compete, including pricing pressures.

 We anticipate some of our principal competitors in the United States will include AM End Users, such as GE Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace, Schlumberger, Rolls-Royce PLC, Pratt & Whitney; AM OEM equipment manufacturers, such as EOS, Concept Lasers and SLM; third party solution providers like Stratonics Inc., IMPACT Engineering, Inc, Computer Weld Technology, Inc. and Vibrant Corporation that specialize in designing and manufacturing automated welding equipment and quality control monitoring devices used in industrial applications, as well as Aerojet Ordnance, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Alliant Techsystems Inc. and Energetic Materials and Processes, Inc., both of which are businesses focused on developing materials technology solutions in the advanced munitions market; and Straumann AG, BioMet 3I, Keystone Dental, HiOssen Dental, and companies that specialize in developing dental implants that heal rapidly. Most of these competitors have significantly greater research and development capabilities than we do, as well as substantially more sales, marketing and financial and managerial resources. These entities represent significant competition for us. In addition, acquisitions of, or investments in, competing companies by large corporations could increase such competitors’ research, financial, manufacturing and other resources.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses relate to its engineering activities, which consist of the development of our PrintRite3D® quality assurance technologies for specific customers and for the industry in general. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $219,132 and $14,275, of research and development costs, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We regard our patents, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, process knowledge, and other intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on patent, trademark and other intellectual property law, and confidentiality agreements with employees, partners, and others to protect our intellectual assets. The below chart summarizes our issued patents. We have filed four patent applications pertaining to our IPQA® technology and rapid qualification of additive manufacturing for metal parts. There is no guarantee that the patents for which we have applied will offer adequate protection under applicable law.

Government Regulation

Our business activities are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations. These regulations are aimed at preventing the inadvertent disclosure of munitions related data or the export of technical knowledge to foreign countries. The work we do with governmental units may also be subject to laws respecting the confidentiality of any classified or national security information we receive during the course of our activities under any government contract.

Additionally, with respect to our work with government agencies, our sales are driven by pricing based on costs incurred to produce products or perform services under contracts with the U.S. government. U.S. government contracts generally are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), agency-specific regulations that implement or supplement FAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations and other applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, and audit requirements. A contractor’s failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions of the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment of penalties and fines and could lead to suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). These agencies review a contractor’s performance, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation, and information systems.

Employees

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had four full-time employees and one part-time employee. We are actively searching for additional, qualified administrative and engineering staff, as well as sales and marketing staff, to support our expanding operations in the area of IPQA® for AM, as well as contract manufacturing in the AM service provider sector.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business is subject to numerous risks. We caution you that the following important factors, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases or communications with investors and others. Any or all of our statements in this annual report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. The factors mentioned in the discussion below will be important in determining future results. Consequently, actual future results may vary materially from those anticipated in this annual report or our other public statements.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate an investment in the Company.

Since we commenced business operations in 2010 and are continuing to develop our technologies, it can be expected that we will continue to incur significant operating expenses and will experience significant losses in the foreseeable future. There is no assurance that any revenues we generate will be sufficient for us to become profitable or thereafter maintain profitability. As a result, the Company cannot predict when, if ever, it might achieve profitability and cannot be certain that it will be able to sustain profitability, if achieved. Our lack of an operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate our business prospects in connection with an investment in our securities.

We face many of the risks normally associated with a new business.

We face all the risks inherent in a new business, including the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting new operations. These uncertainties include developing our technologies and our brand name, raising capital to meet our working capital requirements and developing a customer base, among others. If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we will not be able to operate profitably in the future, and we may not have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due.

We may not be able to obtain sufficient financing, and may not be able to further develop our technologies.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with revenue from our existing contracts, should be sufficient to fund our operations for at least eighteen months. This projection is based on our current planned operations and revenue expectations and is subject to changes in our plans and uncertainties inherent in our business, and we may need to seek to replenish our existing cash and cash equivalents sooner than we project. In the future, we may be dependent on obtaining further financing from third parties in order to maintain our operations and to meet our financial obligations. We cannot assure that additional funding to maintain our operations will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back, or terminate, our operations, or to seek to merge with or to be acquired by another company.

Any additional financing we may undertake could result in dilution to existing stockholders.

Any additional financings we undertake in the future may be obtained through one or more transactions involving the issuance of our capital stock, which will dilute (either economically or in percentage terms) the ownership interests of our stockholders.

Our business may be adversely affected by the global economic downturn.

Any economic downturn generally could cause a drop in government spending and business investment, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, as a result of the current global economic situation, there may be a disruption or delay in performance by the Company’s third-party contractors and suppliers. If such third parties are unable to adequately satisfy their contractual commitments to us in a timely manner, our business could be adversely affected.

If we fail to hire a chief financial officer, we may be unable to implement and monitor financial controls sufficient to ensure maximum profitability and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

We currently have no Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and it is unlikely we will hire a CFO in the near future due to the expense of employing a CFO and our limited capital resources. Monica Yaple is a consultant working as our Treasurer, and she also presently acts as our principal financial and accounting officer. Due to our limited internal organizational structure, our financial controls may be ineffective. Accordingly, unless we obtain the services of a qualified CFO, we may be unable to implement and monitor financial controls sufficient to ensure maximum profitability and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Such regulatory requirements include, among others, certifications and protocols set forth in the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and related laws and regulations governing accounting, and financial and auditing standards and practices designed to ensure accurate and transparent financial information regarding the financial health and prospects of companies.

We are not subject to certain reporting requirements under the federal securities laws – accordingly, our stockholders do not have the benefit of certain disclosures prior to voting on material transactions or the benefit of reviewing information regarding our officers’ and directors’ stock ownership and their transactions involving our securities.

We are currently subject to SEC reporting requirements under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Because we have not filed a registration statement under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, we are not subject to the SEC’s proxy rules and related information requirements of the Exchange Act. Further, our officers, directors and stockholders owning 10% or more of our outstanding capital stock are not required to file reports with the SEC concerning their stock ownership and stock trading activity under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, which provides for timely disclosure of insider transactions. Accordingly, our shareholders do not have the benefit of (i) certain disclosures required under the SEC’s proxy rules in connection with their approval of certain corporate actions (e.g., significant acquisitions and election of directors); and (ii) disclosures about our officers’ and directors’ ownership of and their transactions involving the Company’s securities.

We could incur significant damages if we are unable to adequately discharge our contractual obligations.

Our failure to comply with contract requirements or to meet our clients’ performance expectations on a contract could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and our reputation. This, in turn, would impact our ability to compete for new clients and contracts. Our failure to meet contractual obligations could also result in substantial actual and consequential damages under the terms of such contracts. In addition, some of our contracts require us to indemnify clients for our failure to meet performance standards and/or contain liquidated damages provisions and financial penalties related to performance failures. Although we do have liability insurance, the policy limits may not be adequate to provide protection against all such potential liabilities.

We have financial exposure on our fixed-price contracts because we are required to complete a project even if the costs exceed the revenues we generate on such fixed-price contract.

We presently provide and expect to provide services under fixed-price and performance-based arrangements. Generally, under our fixed-price contracts, we receive a specified fee regardless of our cost to perform under such contracts (compared with performance-based contracts under which we earn fees on a per-transaction basis). If we underestimate the cost to complete a contract, we will still be required to complete the work specified under such contract, which could result in a loss to us. To earn a profit on these fixed-price contracts, we must accurately estimate costs involved and assess the probability of meeting the specified objectives, realizing the expected units of work or completing individual transactions, within the contracted time period. We expect to recognize revenues on these contracts, including a portion of estimated profit, as costs are incurred.

Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to secure government contracts are time consuming to prepare and our ability to successfully respond to RFPs will impact our operations.

A substantial portion of our clients will be state or local government authorities. To market our services to government clients, we will likely be required to respond to Request for Proposals or “RFPs.” To do so effectively, we must estimate accurately our cost structure for servicing a proposed contract, the time required to establish operations and likely terms of the proposals submitted by competitors. We must also assemble and submit a large volume of information within an RFP’s rigid timetable. Our ability to respond successfully to RFPs will greatly impact our business. There is no assurance that we will be awarded any contracts through the RFP process, or that our submitted RFPs will result in profitable contracts.

Some of our clients may terminate our contracts prior to completion, which could result in revenue shortfalls and reduce profitability or cause losses on contracts.

Many of our contracts with clients contain initial or base periods of one or more years, as well as option periods typically covering more than half of the contract’s initial duration. However, such clients are under no obligation to exercise the option to extend the contract term. The profitability of some of our contracts could be adversely impacted if such options are not exercised and the contract term is not extended accordingly. Additionally, our contracts will likely contain provisions permitting a client to terminate the contract on short notice, with or without cause. The unexpected termination of significant contracts could result in significant revenue shortfalls. If revenue shortfalls occur and are not offset by corresponding reductions in expenses, our business could be adversely affected. We cannot anticipate if, when or to what extent a client might terminate its contracts with us.

We are subject to government audits and our failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards could subject us to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions.

The government agencies we contract with have the authority to audit and investigate our contracts with them. As part of that process, a government agency may review our performance on a contract, our pricing practices, our cost structure and our compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. If the agency determines that we have improperly allocated costs to a specific contract, we will not be reimbursed for those costs and we will be required to refund the amount of any such costs that have been previously reimbursed. If a government audit identifies improper activities by us or we otherwise determine that these activities have occurred, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or disqualification from doing business with the government. Any adverse determination could adversely impact our ability to bid for RFPs in one or more jurisdictions.

Unions may interfere with our ability to obtain contracts.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to win profitable contracts to administer and manage programs that may have been previously administered by government employees. Many government employees, however, belong to labor unions with considerable financial resources and lobbying networks. Unions have in the past and are likely to continue to apply political pressure on legislators and other officials seeking to outsource government programs. Union opposition may result in fewer opportunities for us to service government agencies.

We rely on our relationship with government agencies to obtain contracts.

To facilitate our ability to prepare bids in response to RFPs, we expect to rely in part on establishing and maintaining relationships with officials of various government entities and agencies. These relationships will enable us to provide informal input and advice to the government entities and agencies prior to the development of an RFP. We also expect to engage marketing consultants, including lobbyists, to establish and maintain relationships with elected officials and appointed members of government agencies. The effectiveness of these consultants may be reduced or eliminated if a significant political change occurs. We may be unable to successfully manage our relationships with government entities and agencies and with elected officials and appointees and any failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to bid successfully for RFPs.

We have significant competition in bidding for government contracts from large national and international organizations.

The government contracting industry is subject to intense competition. Many of our competitors are national and international in scope and have greater resources than we do. Substantial resources could enable certain competitors to “low bid” on government RFPs or take other measures in an effort to gain market share. In addition, we may be unable to compete for a certain large government contract because we may not be able to meet an RFP’s requirement to obtain and post a large cash performance bond. Also, in some geographic areas, we face competition from smaller consulting firms with established reputations and political relationships. There is no assurance that we will compete successfully against our existing or any new competitors.

We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, which would negatively impact our operations.

We have operated our current line of business for a little over five years, and we expect to grow in the near future as our business develops and becomes established. If our business grows as we anticipate, it will be necessary for us to manage our expansion in an orderly fashion. Any significant growth in our activities or in the market for our services will require extension of our managerial, operational, marketing and other resources. Future growth will also impose significant additional responsibilities upon the members of management to identify, recruit, maintain, integrate, and motivate new employees. Our failure to manage growth effectively may lead to operational inefficiencies that will have a negative effect on our profitability. Additionally, if our growth comes at the expense of providing quality service and generating reasonable profits, our ability to successfully bid for contracts and our profitability will be adversely affected. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to effectively manage any future growth we may experience.

Failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage could put the Company at risk for uninsured losses.

We currently have liability insurance. Some or all of the Company’s customers may require insurance as a requirement to conduct business with the Company. We may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate liability insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, and there is a risk that our insurance will not provide adequate coverage against our potential losses. Additionally, there are certain types of losses that may not be insurable at a cost that the Company can afford or at all. Claims or losses in excess of any insurance coverage we may obtain, or the lack of insurance coverage, could put the Company at risk of loss for any uninsured loss, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We are dependent on our President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key personnel, the loss of which could harm our business.

The Company depends on Mark J. Cola, its President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as key scientific and other personnel. The loss of any of these individuals could harm the Company’s business and significantly delay or prevent the achievement of business objectives. In addition, our delivery of services will be labor-intensive: when the Company is awarded a contract, we may need to quickly hire project leaders and case management personnel. The additional staff may also create a concurrent demand for increased administrative personnel. The success of our business will require that we attract, develop, motivate and retain:

Innovative, experienced and technically proficient individuals are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource. We may be unable to continue to attract and retain desirable executive officers and senior managers. Our inability to hire sufficient personnel on a timely basis or the loss of significant numbers of executive officers and senior managers could adversely affect our business.

Because we have limited capital resources, we may be dependent on cash flow and payments from customers in order to meet our expense obligations.

A number of factors may cause our revenues, cash flow and operating results to vary from quarter to quarter, including the following:

Changes in the volume of activity and the number of contracts commenced, completed or terminated during any quarter may cause significant variations in our cash flow from operations because a significant portion of our expenses are fixed. Fixed expenses include, rent, payroll, insurance, employee benefits, taxes and other administrative costs and overhead. Moreover, we expect to incur significant operating expenses during the start-up and early stages of large contracts and typically do not receive corresponding payments in that same quarter.

We may make acquisitions in the future that we are unable to effectively manage given our limited resources.

We may choose to grow our business by acquiring other entities. We may be unable to manage businesses that we have acquired or integrate them successfully without incurring substantial expenses, delays or other problems that could negatively impact our results of operations. Moreover, business combinations involve additional risks, including:

Also, client dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired firm could materially and adversely affect our reputation as a whole. Further, the acquired businesses may not achieve the revenues and earnings we anticipated.

The Company must keep up with new and rapidly evolving technologies.

Some of the Company’s activities involve developing products or processes that are based upon new, rapidly evolving technologies. The ability to commercialize or further develop these technologies could fail for a variety of reasons, both within and outside of the Company’s control.

Our success depends upon our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.

Our success in part depends on the Company’s ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and other trade secrets. To do so, we will be required to prosecute and maintain patents, obtain new patents and pursue trade secret and other intellectual property protection. We were awarded two U.S. patents with respect to our munitions technology. We were also awarded a U.S. patent with respect to our IPQA® technology. In addition, we filed four patent applications pertaining to our IPQA® technology and rapid qualification of additive manufacturing for metal parts. Also, we filed a PCT patent application pertaining to the advanced dental implant technology. However, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Our business is also subject to the risk that our issued patents will not provide us with significant competitive advantages if, for example, a competitor were to independently develop or obtain similar or superior technologies. Prosecuting infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent owned by us is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that the Company’s patents do not cover its technology. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put the Company’s patent applications at the risk of not issuing. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. The unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.

We may be sued by third parties who claim that we have infringed their intellectual property rights.

We may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our research, development and commercialization activities infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties to which the Company does not hold licenses or other rights, or that we have misappropriated the trade secrets of others. Any litigation or claims against us, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial and human resources. In addition, if successful, such claims could cause the Company to pay substantial damages. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.

Our services are subject to government regulation, changes in which may have an adverse effect on the Company.

Our business activities subject us to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations. For example, we are required to comply with applicable provisions of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, as well as other export controls and laws governing the manufacture and distribution of munitions technology. Changes in the laws and regulations applicable to our business activities may have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability by making it more expensive and less profitable for us to do business. Additionally, the market for our services depends largely on federal and state legislative programs. These programs can be modified or amended at any time by acts of federal and state governments. Further, if additional programs are not proposed or enacted, or if previously enacted programs are challenged, repealed or invalidated, our growth strategy could be adversely impacted.

Our Bylaws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges, and expenses incurred by them.

Our Bylaws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges, and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by an officer or director, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Our Bylaws do not contain anti-takeover provisions, which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a takeover of us.

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our Bylaws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a takeover of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Our operating costs could be higher than we expect, and this could reduce our future profitability.

In addition to general economic conditions, market fluctuations and international risks, significant increases in operating, development and implementation costs could adversely affect our company due to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control.

A cyber incident could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption, and/or financial loss.

Businesses have become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct day-to-day operations. At the same time, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks or unintentional events, have increased. A cyber attack could include gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption or result in denial of service on websites. We depend on digital technology, including information systems and related infrastructure, to process and record financial and operating data, and communicate with our employees and business partners. Our technologies, systems, networks, and those of our business partners may become the target of cyber attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of our business operations. Although to date we have not experienced any losses relating to cyber attacks, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such losses in the future. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

We do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.

We do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth of the Company’s business. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of our limited operating history. We have neither generated any material revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is no assurance that we will operate on a profitable basis. Since we have not generated any material revenues, we expect that we will need to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has exhibited substantial volatility. Between January 1, 2014 and March 30, 2015, the sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB ranged from a low of $0.042 to a high of $0.183. The market price of our common stock could continue to fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including the following factors:

In addition, factors beyond our control may also have an impact on the price of our common stock. For example, to the extent that other large companies within our industry experience declines in their stock price, our stock price may decline as well. In addition, when the market price of a company’s common stock drops significantly, security holders often institute securities class action lawsuits against the company. A lawsuit against us could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

We may issue preferred stock in the future, and the terms of the preferred stock may reduce the value of our common stock.

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may determine the terms of future preferred stock offerings without further action by our stockholders. If we issue preferred stock, it could affect your rights or reduce the market value of our outstanding common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights, sinking fund provisions, and restrictions on our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party.

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports or publish unfavorable research about our business, the price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

The future trading market for our common stock will be influenced in part by any research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us the trading price for our common stock and other securities would be negatively affected. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our securities, the price of our securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regular reports on us, interest in the purchase of our securities could decrease, which could cause the price of our common stock and other securities and their trading volume to decline.

If we are deemed to be an issuer of “penny stock”, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements will not apply to us.

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting (including those weaknesses identified in our periodic reports), or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

Obtaining additional capital through the sale of common stock will result in dilution of equity interests.

We plan to raise additional funds in the future by issuing additional shares of common stock or other securities, which may include securities such as convertible debentures, warrants or preferred stock that are convertible into common stock. Any such sale of common stock or other securities will lead to further dilution of the equity ownership of existing holders of our common stock. Additionally, the existing options, warrants and conversion rights may hinder future equity offerings, and the exercise of those options, warrants and conversion rights may have an adverse effect on the value of our stock. If any such options, warrants or conversion rights are exercised at a price below the then current market price of our shares, then the market price of our stock could decrease upon the sale of such additional securities. Further, if any such options, warrants or conversion rights are exercised at a price below the price at which any particular shareholder purchased shares, then that particular shareholder will experience dilution in his or her investment.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

On October 15, 2014, we renewed our lease for our manufacturing lab and office space located at 3900 Paseo del Sol, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507, units E-40, E-42, A-330, A-331 and A-332. Such property is leased at a monthly rate of $3,000, and consists of 2,004.8 square feet. The term of the lease expires on September 30, 2015. We believe that our facilities are suitable for our current needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. However, we may occasionally become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. It is impossible for us to predict with any certainty the outcome of pending disputes, and we cannot predict whether any liability arising from pending claims and litigation will be material in relation to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Our common stock is quoted for trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “SGLB.” Trading in our common stock during certain periods of 2013 has been limited. While trading increased in our stock in 2014, that trading was sporadic.

The following table sets forth the range of closing prices for our common stock for the quarters indicated. Such quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Shareholders

As of March 31, 2015, there were approximately 549 holders of record of our common stock based on information provided by our transfer agent.

Dividends

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings, if any, our financial condition, our anticipated capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may think are relevant. However, we currently intend for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Not applicable.

Repurchase of Shares

We did not repurchase any of our shares during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material affect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2013.

We expect to generate revenues primarily by direct sales or licensing our manufacturing and materials technologies to businesses that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes and/or manipulate and improve the most functional characteristics of the materials and other input components used in their business operations. However, we presently make no sales of these technologies. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”), B6 Sigma and Sumner Associates generated an aggregate of $548,723 in revenues, as compared to an aggregate of $1,071,439 in revenues that were generated by B6 Sigma and Sumner Associates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). The decrease in revenues was primarily caused by the fact that a contract held by Sumner Associates was not renewed in 2014, as well as the unanticipated delay in the commencement of our work in 2014 with respect to the below-described contracts from Honeywell Aerospace, Edison Welding Institute and General Electric (GE) Aviation. We generated revenues and financed our operations in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 primarily from engineering consulting services we provided during these periods and through private sales of our common stock.

In fiscal 2014, B6 Sigma along with Sumner Associates generated an aggregate of $548,723 in revenues from consulting and other contracts. Sumner Associates generated $11,312 of such revenues. Specifically, we generated:

In fiscal 2013, B6 Sigma along with Sumner Associates generated an aggregate of $1,071,439 in revenues from consulting and other contracts. Specifically, we generated:

Our general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2014 were $1,239,394, as compared to $724,223 in fiscal 2013. Our payroll expenses for fiscal 2014 were $404,054, as compared to $247,619 for fiscal 2013. Our expenses relating to non-cash compensation for fiscal 2014 were $582,550, as compared to $258,400 for fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2014, we also incurred a warrant expense of $1,283,333 as compared to $0 in fiscal 2013.

General and administrative expenses principally include operating expenses and outside services fees, the largest component of which consists of services in connection with our obligations as an SEC reporting company, in addition to other legal and accounting fees. The net increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 is principally the result of increased research and development costs, personnel costs, investor relations expenditures and consultant services provided to us due to our growing operations. The net increase in payroll expenses and non-cash compensation expenses in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 is principally the result of increased outside services costs, a performance bonus paid by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 in the amount of $175,000 to our President and Chief Executive Officer, the addition of three full-time employees in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and increased incentive compensation associated with our operations. Of the $582,550 of non-cash compensation expenses incurred during fiscal 2014, $193,500 was the result of the vesting of 1,500,000 shares of the 6,000,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to restrictions, issued to three of our employees pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The other $389,050 was non-cash compensation associated with the vesting of shares of our common stock issued under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to our consultants, employees and directors during 2014.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the remainder of 2015 as we seek to commercialize our IPQA®-related technologies and increase our sales and marketing. Similarly, we anticipate that our payroll and non-cash compensation expenses will continue to increase as we add employees to support our efforts to grow our business.

Our net loss for fiscal 2014 increased substantially overall and totaled $3,116,080, as compared to $734,117 for fiscal 2013. This increase in our net loss was the result of decreases in revenues and increased general and administrative expenses, payroll expenses, non-cash compensation expenses and warrant expenses, including the warrant expense associated with the extension in June 2014 of the expiration date of an outstanding warrant to purchase shares of the Company's common stock by nine months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2014, we had $2,962,069 in cash and a working capital surplus of $2,811,606, as compared with $992,448 in cash and a working capital surplus of $1,180,973 as of December 31, 2013. On January 10, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 43,750,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering with an accredited investor for aggregate net proceeds of $3,300,911. On June 4, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering with an accredited investor for aggregate net proceeds of $474,965. In connection with the purchase and sale of the shares in January 2014 and June 2014, we issued the investors a warrant to purchase up to 14,259,259 shares and 2,037,037 shares of our common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrant issued in January 2014 expires in July 2015, and the warrant issued in June 2014 expires in June 2015.

We expect that our continued development of our IPQA® technology (i.e., PrintRite3D®) will enable us to commercialize this technology for the AM metal market in the remainder of 2015 and 2016. However, until commercialization of our technologies, we plan to continue funding our development activities and operating expenses by providing consulting services concerning our areas of expertise, i.e., materials and manufacturing quality assurance technologies, and contract manufacturing for additive manufacturing, and through the use of proceeds from sales of our securities.

As of March 31, 2015, B6 Sigma has three active consulting contracts with respect to which we expect to perform and generate up to approximately $989,000 in revenues in fiscal 2015, subject to the achievement by us of certain performance milestones. The Company decided in March 2014 to discontinue servicing the contract previously held by Sumner Associates.

Some of our consulting contracts, including the contracts from Honeywell Aerospace, Edison Welding Institute and GE Aviation, are fixed price contracts, for which we will receive a specified fee regardless of our cost to perform under such contract. In connection with entering into these fixed-contract consulting arrangements, we are required to estimate our costs of performance. To actually earn a profit on these contracts, we must accurately estimate costs involved and assess the probability of meeting the specified objectives, realizing the expected units of work or completing individual transactions, within the contracted time period. Accordingly, if we under-estimate the cost to complete a contract, we remain obligated to complete the work based on our initial cost estimate, which would reduce the amount of profit actually earned under the contract.

We have no credit lines or facilities as of March 31, 2015, nor have we ever had a credit facility since our inception.

Based on the funds we have as of March 31, 2015 and the proceeds that we expect to receive under our consulting agreements and from offerings of the Company’s stock, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to pay our administrative and other operating expenses during 2015. Until we are able to generate significant revenues and royalties from sales or licensing of our technologies, our ability to continue to fund our liquidity and working capital needs will be dependent upon revenues from existing and future consulting contracts, possible strategic partnerships, contract manufacturing orders in connection with our new 3D metal printer, and proceeds received from sales of our securities. Accordingly, we may have to obtain additional capital from the sale of additional securities or by borrowing funds from private lenders to fulfill our business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. As previously reported, during September 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 19, 2014.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company is not eligible to use the Registration Statement to offer and sell its securities because the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company is less than the minimum required by General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3 (i.e., $75 million). If we fail to obtain sufficient funding when needed, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate all or a portion of our commercialization efforts.

In fiscal 2014, we purchased the EOS M290 3D metal printer for $724,000, $241,333 of which we paid in the first quarter of 2015.

Inflation and changing prices have had no effect on our continuing operations over our two most recent fiscal years.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Financial Statements are referred to in Item 15, listed in the Index to Financial Statements and filed and included elsewhere herein as a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. The foregoing conclusion is based, in part, on the fact that we are a small public company in the early stage of our business, with limited revenues and employees.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management’s evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

We continuously seek to improve and strengthen our control processes to ensure that all of our controls and procedures are adequate and effective. Any failure to implement and maintain improvements in the controls over our financial reporting could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations under the SEC’s rules and regulations. Any failure to improve our internal controls to address the weakness we have identified could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

Mr. Cola earned a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering and an M.S. in Welding Engineering from The Ohio State University.

Our board of directors believes that Mr. Cola is qualified to serve as a member of the board because of Mr. Cola’s extensive prior experience as a manager of a number of engineering companies and his scientific and academic qualifications as well as his expertise in matters pertaining to the operation of manufacturing and technology companies.

Monica Yaple was appointed as Treasurer of Sigma on September 20, 2012, and served as Chief Financial Officer from September 20, 2012 until January 2014.

Mr. O’Mara also is the founder and owner since 1992 of O’Mara Partners, a general management consulting company specializing in creating operational strategies to deal with change.

Mr. O’Mara’ significant experience in management and finance has led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company.

Equity Compensation Plans

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table contains information regarding our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2014:

(1) On March 9, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved on March 31, 2011 by holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 30,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.

(2) On March 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on October 10, 2013. Pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to grant “incentive stock options” and “non-qualified stock options”, grant or sell common stock subject to restrictions or without restrictions, and grant stock appreciation rights to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisers of the Company and its subsidiaries. A total of 30,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company were reserved for issuance under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Non-qualified stock options granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. As of December 31, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, some of which were subject to restrictions and without restrictions, pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Effective as of July 25, 2014, the Company granted to Amanda Cola, the Company's Business Operations Manager, 2,000,000 shares of common stock under the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, valued at $0.129 per share, in connection with Mrs. Cola's “at will” employment arrangement with the Company. Of these shares, 500,000 vested on the date of grant, and the balance of the shares will vest in three equal annual installments of 500,000 shares each beginning on the first annual anniversary of the date of grant, provided, in each case, that Mrs. Cola remains in the Company's continuous employ through such vesting date. Mrs. Cola's annual salary is $90,000.

Director Independence

Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “SGLB”. The OTCQB electronic trading platform does not maintain any standards regarding the “independence” of the directors on our company’s Board of Directors, and we are not otherwise subject to the requirements of any national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system with respect to the need to have a majority of our directors be independent.

In the absence of such requirements, we have elected to use the definition for “director independence” under the NASDAQ stock market’s listing standards, which defines an “independent director” as “a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.” The definition further provides that, among others, employment of a director by us (or any parent or subsidiary of ours) at any time during the past three years is considered a bar to independence regardless of the determination of our Board of Directors.

All of our Board members, except Mr. Cola, an employee-director, are deemed “independent” under the NASDAQ Stock Market’s listing standards.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

Sigma Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Santa Fe, New Mexico

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sigma Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Sigma Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sigma Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SIGMA LABS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business – On September 13, 2010 Sigma Labs, Inc., formerly named Framewaves, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), acquired 100% of the shares of B6 Sigma, Inc. by exchanging 6.67 shares of Framewaves, Inc. restricted common stock for each issued and outstanding share of B6 Sigma, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse purchase”, and accordingly the operations of Framewaves, Inc. prior to the date of acquisition have been eliminated.

B6 Sigma, Inc., incorporated February 5, 2010, was founded by a group of scientists, engineers and businessmen to develop and commercialize novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. Management believes that some of these technologies will fundamentally redefine conventional quality assurance and control practices by embedding quality assurance and process control into the manufacturing processes in real time. The Company anticipates that its core technologies will allow its clientele to combine advanced manufacturing quality assurance and control protocols with novel materials to achieve breakthrough product potential in many industries including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, prosthetic implants, and power generation.

As of December 31, 2011, Sigma Labs, Inc. acquired 100% of the shares of Sumner & Lawrence Limited (“Sumner”), a New Mexico Corporation, and La Mancha Company, a New Mexico Corporation, in exchange for 35,000,000 shares of Sigma Labs, Inc. common stock. The operations of Sumner and La Mancha Company prior to the date of acquisition have been eliminated. La Mancha Company and Sumner have since ceased all operations and were dissolved in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Article 8 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.

Reclassification – Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current-period financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2014 include the accounts of Sigma Labs, Inc., B6 Sigma, Inc. and Sumner & Lawrence Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated life has been determined to be three years unless a unique circumstance exists, which is then fully documented as an exception to the policy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” at the date of inception on February 5, 2010. As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic No. 740, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2014 or 2013. All tax years starting with 2010 are open for examination.

Loss Per Share – The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $4,884 and $4,884 respectively.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets – Long-lived assets and certain identifiable definite life intangibles to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company continuously evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such long-lived assets, and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. No impairment was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, an impairment of $87,340 was recorded to reduce the value of customer contacts intangible assets of Sumner as management had planned to discontinue servicing the related contracts in 2014.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards – The FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through ASU No. 2014-16 contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affects guidance to specialized industries. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Organization Expenditures – Organizational expenditures are expensed as incurred for SEC filings, but capitalized and amortized for income tax purposes.

Stock Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under ASC Topic No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements may include stock options, grants of shares of common stock with and without restrictions, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at its fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option or stock grants. Unvested option or stock grant for compensation are included in the Statement of Shareholders Equity as a contra-equity account as “Deferred Compensation”.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC Topic No. 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” In general, the measurement date is either (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the non-employee performance requirement is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Amortization - Utility patents are amortized over a 17 year period. Patents which are pending are not amortized. The customer contacts intangible asset was being amortized over a 3 year period.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowances for bad debts and inventory obsolescence.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 605 based on the following criteria: Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In general, the Company recognizes service revenue as significant services under the relevant arrangement have been performed.

Deferred Stock Offering Costs – Costs related to proposed stock offerings if any are deferred and will be offset against the proceeds of the offering in additional paid-in capital. In the event a stock offering is unsuccessful, the costs relating to the offering will be written-off directly to expense.

Inventory – Inventories consist of raw materials used in the production of customized parts totaling $11,242 and work in process components totaling $44,933 which will be sold to customers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.

Research and Development – Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $219,132 and $14,275, respectively.

NOTE 2 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 750,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.

On September 13, 2010 the Company closed a share exchange transaction (the “Reorganization”) with the shareholders of B6 Sigma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“B6 Sigma”), which resulted in B6 Sigma becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Each share of B6 Sigma, Inc. common stock outstanding as at the closing of the Reorganization was exchanged for 6.67 shares of the Company’s common stock. At the closing, B6 Sigma, Inc. also acquired and cancelled 110,700,000 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock from three shareholders for the sum of $195,000. Upon the closing of the Reorganization, the Company ceased to be a “Shell” company (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, B6 Sigma, Inc. also closed a private offering of $1,000,000 of its common stock contemporaneously with the closing of the Reorganization, which included the conversion of $300,000 of previously issued convertible notes and related interest by B6 Sigma, Inc. into the private offering of common stock.

Following issuance of the Reorganization shares to the B6 Sigma shareholders and the stock cancellation, the Company had 313,067,400 (post-split) shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the closing of the Reorganization, the shareholders of the Company approved a 150:1 forward stock split, and a change of the name of the corporation to Sigma Labs, Inc. Additionally, following completion of the Reorganization, B6 Sigma became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In January 2011, the Company commenced a private offering of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a price of $0.02 per share of common stock. On April 15, 2011, the Company closed the private offering, pursuant to which the Company issued 55,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Gross proceeds amounted to $1,117,500.

The placement agent received a total of $105,735 in commissions. The direct cost associated with the stock offering has been reflected as a reduction to Additional Paid-in-Capital. Net proceeds from the sale of stock were $1,011,765. The Company also issued to the agent five year warrants to purchase up to 7,931,250 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such warrants had an exercise price of $0.025 per share and were valued at $158,625. During July 2013, such warrants were exercised using the cashless exercise option resulting in 5,098,661 shares being issued.

The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.14%; Volatility of 470 and an expected life of five years. It is assumed that no dividends will be paid during the periods of calculation, resulting in a respective weighted-average fair value per warrant of $0.02. Management believes the resulting warrant values are reasonable.

On March 9, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). On March 31, 2011, the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company approved the 2011 Plan. Pursuant to the 2011 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to purchase up to 31,000,000 shares of common stock to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. The 2011 Plan provides for awards of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and rights to acquire stock with and without restrictions. Incentive stock options granted under the 2011 Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Non-statutory stock options granted under the 2011 Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code.

In connection with the purchase and sale of the shares, the Company agreed to issue to the investor a warrant to purchase up to 14,259,259 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrant has a term of nine months from the date of issuance (January 10, 2014) and had a fair value of approximately $1,212,037. In May 2014, the term of the warrant was extended by nine months to expire in July 2015 and had a fair market value in excess of the remaining fair market value of the original warrant of approximately $1,283,333. A warrant was also issued as part of the offering to a consultant to purchase up to 2,187,500 shares of common stock at $0.08 per share, valued at approximately $271,250.

NOTE 3 – Registration Statement on Form S-3

As previously reported, during September 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 19, 2014. The Registration Statement covers the offer and sale, from time to time, up to $100,000,000 of securities of the Company, including shares of the Company's common stock and preferred stock, debt securities and warrants, either individually or in units, the terms of which will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC, as applicable. Concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement, or sales agreement, with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time through Ascendiant, acting as sales agent and/or principal, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000. We have agreed to pay Ascendiant a commission rate of 3% of the gross sales price per share of any of our shares of common stock sold through Ascendiant, as agent, under the sales agreement. The offer and sale of our shares through Ascendiant will be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. As of December 31, 2014 no securities have been sold under the Registration Statement. As of March 31, 2015, the Company is not eligible to use the Registration Statement because the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company is less than the minimum required by General Institution I.B.1 of Form S-3 (i.e., $75 million).

NOTE 4 – Continuing Operations

The Company has sustained losses and has negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company has also had decreasing revenues in recent periods. However, the Company has raised significant equity capital and is currently developing new product lines to increase future revenues. Management believes they have adequate working capital and cash to fund operations through 2015, and has entered into significant revenue contracts that are expected to generate cash flow in the near-term.

NOTE 5 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740. This standard requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.

The Company has available at December 31, 2014, unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,435,042, which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2034. However, if certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforward which can be utilized. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards of approximately $2,255,520 and $1,044,923 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The change in the valuation allowance is approximately $1,210,597 and $314,037 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
