NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business – On September 13, 2010 Sigma Labs, Inc., formerly named Framewaves, Inc., a Nevada corporation, 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. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the term “B6 Sigma” refers to B6 Sigma, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned, operating company; the terms the “Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sigma Labs, Inc., together with B6 Sigma, Inc. Sigma conducts substantially all of its operations through B6 Sigma.

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. The Company 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, bio-medical, 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2015 and 2014 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Management suggests these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

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 June 30, 2015 include the accounts of Sigma Labs, Inc. and B6 Sigma, Inc. 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at June 30, 2015 and 2014, or December 31, 2014. 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $0 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 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. 2015-01 contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affects guidance to specialized industries or situations. 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 grants for compensation are included in the Statement of Stockholders’ 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 allowance 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 $11,658 and work in process components totaling $64,445 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $84,028 and $101,132, respectively.

NOTE 2 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

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

On May 23, 2013, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant as noncash compensation for services to be rendered valued at $45,400 or $0.0227 per share. Of these shares, 1,000,000 (valued at $22,700) vested immediately and 1,000,000 (valued at $22,700) are reflected as prepaid assets as of June 30, 2015.

In January 2014, the Company issued 43,750,000 shares of stock to an investor for a total purchase price of $3,500,000. 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 had 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. That warrant has a term of two years from the date of issuance (January 10, 2014). Offering costs paid from the proceeds of the offering were approximately $199,089.

The fair value of the warrant of $1,212,037 was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of nine months, expected volatility of 202%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.09%, and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

The fair value of the new warrant related to the extension of the warrant expiration of $1,283,333 (net) was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 14 months, expected volatility of 226%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

In June 2014, the Company issued 6,250,000 shares of stock to an investor for a total purchase price of $500,000. In connection with the purchase and sale of the shares, the Company agreed to issue to the investor a warrant to purchase up to 2,037,037 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

A warrant was also issued as part of the offering to a consultant to purchase up to 312,500 shares of common stock at $0.08 per share, valued at approximately $36,250. That warrant has a term of two years from the date of issuance (June 4, 2014). Offering costs paid from the proceeds of the offering were approximately $25,035.

The fair value of the warrant of $132,407 was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of one year, expected volatility of 163%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of the warrant of $36,250 was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of two years, expected volatility of 287%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.41%, and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

In November 2014, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of stock to a director, subject to restrictions, pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The shares were valued at $0.094 or $141,000. 750,000 shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the remaining 750,000 shares are scheduled to vest quarterly during the remainder of 2015.

In March 2015, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of stock to a director. The Company also issued 500,000 shares of stock to an officer, and an aggregate of 2,103,774 shares of stock to two consultants, subject to vesting restrictions. The shares were issued pursuant to the 2013 Plan. The shares were valued at $0.053 or $191,000. 2,301,888 of the shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the remaining 1,301,886 remain unvested as of June 30, 2015, reflecting an increase to deferred compensation of $69,000.

Such shares were valued at the fair value of $774,000 or $0.129 per share. This compensation is being expensed over the vesting period. As of June 30, 2015, the balance of unvested compensation cost expected to be recognized is $516,000 (4,000,000 shares valued at $0.129) and is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The unvested compensation is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 2 years (through July 2017).

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 Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $100,000,000 of securities, 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 June 30, 2015, no securities have been sold under the Registration Statement. As of June 30, 2015, the Company was 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 was 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. The Company believes it has adequate working capital and cash to fund operations through the remainder of 2015, and has entered into significant revenue contracts that are expected to generate cash flow in the near term.

NOTE 5 – Loss Per Share

The following data show the amounts used in computing loss per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Dilutive loss per share was not presented as the Company had no common equivalent shares for all periods presented that would affect the computation of diluted loss per share or its effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 6 – Joint Venture

As previously reported in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 6, 2015, we entered into an Operating Agreement and Statement of Work with Arete Innovative Solutions LLC (“Arete”). The Operating Agreement and Statement of Work govern the operations of Arete-Sigma LLC (the "Joint Venture"), a joint venture formed by us and Arete for the purpose of pursuing business opportunities related to AM utilizing our EOS M290 or like machines, including enabling and implementing sales and manufacturing transactions. Under the Operating Agreement and Statement of Work, among other matters reported in our Form 8-K and set forth in the Operating Agreement and Statement of Work, (i) each of Sigma and Arete hold a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, (ii) the Joint Venture will be managed by William F. Herman, President of Arete, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Operating Agreement and the Statement of Work, (iii) for administrative cost reimbursement, the Joint Venture will pay Sigma a specified percentage of the revenues of the Joint Venture for each transaction, subject to change based on data of actual costs of the Joint Venture, and (iv) for operational cost reimbursement, the Joint Venture will pay Arete a specified percentage of the revenues of the Joint Venture for each transaction, subject to change based on data of actual costs of the Joint Venture. Based on the Operating Agreement, the Company holds the non-controlling interest in the Joint Venture. Therefore, the Joint Venture has not been consolidated, but rather is accounted for on the equity method of recording investments.

NOTE 7 – Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued and determined there are no items to disclose.

Overview of Business

B6 Sigma is a technology company that specializes in the development and commercialization of novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. We believe 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 and engineers 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 commercialization of both our IPQA® and materials-related suite of technologies, with our main focus currently on the additive manufacturing ("AM") or 3D Printing ("3DP") industry, and making operational the contract manufacturing business for metal 3DP. 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 provide contract manufacturing 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 revenue 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 revenue 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. We presently make no sales of our technologies, except for limited sales of our PrintRite3D® technologies. Since its inception, B6 Sigma has generated revenue 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 revenue 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 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) and the Edison Welding Institute ("EWI") over the last 30 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.

Recent Developments (in reverse chronological order)

Joint Venture with Arete Innovative Solutions

As previously reported in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 6, 2015, we entered into an Operating Agreement and Statement of Work with Arete Innovative Solutions LLC (“Arete”). The Operating Agreement and Statement of Work govern the operations of Arete-Sigma LLC (the "Joint Venture"), a joint venture formed by us and Arete for the purpose of pursuing business opportunities related to AM utilizing our EOS M290 or like machines, including enabling and implementing sales and manufacturing transactions. Under the Operating Agreement, each of Sigma and Arete hold a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture will offer a full suite of services from design through prototyping and manufacturing of high precision metal components. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no revenues have been generated in connection with the Joint Venture.

Sigma Gave Joint Presentation at RAPID 2015

On June 1, 2015 the Company announced that on May 20, 2015, Mark J. Cola, our President and Chief Executive Officer, jointly presented with Honeywell International, Inc. at the RAPID 2015 Conference in Long Beach, California.

Sigma PrintRite3D® System Sale

On May 4, 2015, the Company announced that Honeywell has entered into a contract with the Company to acquire our PrintRite3D® system. As part of the award, we have delivered and installed our PrintRite3D® SENSORPAK™ hardware and INSPECT™ software – including one license and a year of maintenance – for Honeywell to test within its AM development facility in Phoenix; the purchase order also includes our first contract for our DEFORM™ software, which will be provided when ready for release. We expect that our DEFORM™ software will be commercially available in October 2015.

Sigma Launched 3D Metal Printing Facility  

On April 14, 2015, the Company held an open house for our recently installed EOS M290. Approximately 60 individuals (from industry and government alike) attended the event.

Sigma Joined America Makes.

On April 1, 2015, the Company announced that we joined America Makes which is the premier center for the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII) based in Youngstown, Ohio. The Company expects that joining NAMII will facilitate broader demonstration of the Company's unique capabilities and help move the industry forward. Further, the Company believes that it was appropriate to take this step to further advance our presence in the 3D printing space, as we continue to collaborate with leading companies and organizations in the field. 

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 Quarterly Report. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

We expect to generate revenue 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, except for limited sales of our PrintRite3D® technologies. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will depend on our ability to commercialize and market our technologies. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized revenue of $196,263 and $381,949, respectively, as compared to $114,813 and $229,642 in revenue that we generated during the same periods in 2014. The increase in revenue was primarily due to our ongoing work under additional contracts as compared to the prior year. The revenue we generated during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily generated from engineering consulting services we provided to third parties during this period. We expect that our revenue will increase in future periods as we commence our engineering consulting efforts for the GE Aviation lead NAMII contract, continue to provide our services under our contracts with Honeywell Aerospace and EWI, and as we seek to commercialize our PrintRite3D®-related technologies, and obtain contract manufacturing orders in connection with our EOS M290 and our new Joint Venture. Our costs of service revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $88,262 and $113,129, respectively, as compared to $84,739 and $140,628 for the same periods in 2014.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $326,075 and $593,778, respectively, as compared to $135,651 and $315,047 for the same periods in 2014. Our payroll expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $74,474 and $147,134, respectively, as compared to $50,754 and $302,699 for the same periods in 2014. Our expenses relating to non-cash stock compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $134,250 and $257,000, respectively, as compared to $326,200 and $351,400 for the same periods in 2014. Our research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $13,881 and $84,028, respectively, as compared to $30,985 and $101,132 for the same periods in 2014.

General and administrative expenses principally include operating expenses and outside service 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 is principally the result of increased investor relations expenditures and consultant services provided to us due to an increase in our overall business activities. The net decrease in payroll expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is due to the performance bonus paid by us in the first quarter of 2014 in the amount of $175,000 to our President and Chief Executive Officer, partially offset by our hiring of a total of three employees in June and July 2014. The net decrease in research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 is principally the result of a shift in our activities, from research and development to an operating company.

As a result of our increased operating activities, including as we seek further commercialization of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies, and our increased marketing and sales efforts associated with such technologies and our contract manufacturing activities, our general and administrative expenses in the future are expected to continue to increase. Similarly, we anticipate that our payroll and non-cash compensation expenses will increase as we expect to engage more employees and consultants to support our efforts to grow our business, including hiring a Vice President of Business Development.

Our net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased significantly over the prior year and totaled $440,367 and $812,248, respectively, as compared to $1,795,909 and $2,262,815 for the same periods in 2014. The most significant factor in the decrease in our net loss was the result of a nonrecurring 2014 expense of $1,283,333 relating to the extension of the term of a warrant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, we had $2,224,318 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $2,342,090, as compared with $2,962,069 in cash and a working capital surplus of $2,811,606 as of December 31, 2014.

We plan to generate revenue primarily by marketing and selling our manufacturing and materials technologies. However, for the period from our inception through June 30, 2015, we generated revenue and financed our operations primarily from engineering consulting services we provided during this period and through private sales of Sigma common stock. During the remainder of 2015, we expect to further ramp up our operations and our commercialization and marketing efforts, which will increase the amount of cash we will use in our operations.

We expect that our continued development of our IPQA® technology (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 (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 August 7, 2015, B6 Sigma has three active engineering consulting contracts with respect to which we expect to perform and generate up to approximately $450,000 in revenue during the remainder of 2015, subject to the achievement by us of certain performance milestones. The commencement of our engineering consulting services under our GE Aviation lead America Makes contract was delayed until early August 2015, which resulted in the expected delay of a portion of the revenue under such contract until the first quarter of 2016.

Some of our consulting contracts, including the contracts from Honeywell Aerospace, GE Aviation and EWI, 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 August 7, 2015, nor have we ever had a credit facility since our inception. We will continue to evaluate potential future sources of capital, as we do not currently have commitments from any third parties to provide us with additional capital.

Based on the funds we have as of August 7, 2015, and the proceeds we expect to receive under our engineering consulting agreements and from offerings of the Company's common stock, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to pay our administrative and other operating expenses through 2016. 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 EOS M290, orders in connection with our new Joint Venture, 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 lenders to fulfill our business plans. If we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. 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.

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 of Regulation S-K. 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, 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 revenue and employees. Based upon our evaluation, we also concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
