SIGMA LABS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017

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, which, until the short-form merger referenced below, was our wholly-owned, operating company acquired in September 2010; the terms the “Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sigma Labs, Inc., together with B6 Sigma, Inc. Prior to December 29, 2015, we conducted substantially all of our operations through B6 Sigma. On December 29, 2015, we completed a short-form merger of B6 Sigma into Sigma. As a result, B6 Sigma became part of Sigma and no longer exists as a subsidiary.

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 process control practices by embedding them into the manufacturing processes in real time, enabling process intervention and ultimately leading to closed loop process control. The Company anticipates that its core technologies will allow its clientele to combine advanced manufacturing quality assurance and process control protocols with novel materials to achieve breakthrough product potential in many industries including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, bio-medical, and power generation.

 

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016 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. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 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.

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.”

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. The Company has evaluated recently issued technical pronouncements and has determined that these updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

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.

Effective March 17, 2016, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation were amended pursuant to a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Certificate of Change provided for both a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a 1-for-100 basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and a corresponding decrease in the number of shares of our common stock that we are authorized to issue (the “Share Decrease”).

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock on March 17, 2016 decreased from 622,969,835 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares to 6,229,710 post-Reverse Stock Split shares (after adjustment for any fractional shares). Pursuant to the Share Decrease, the number of authorized shares of our common stock decreased from 750,000,000 to 7,500,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Options

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted a total of 123,750 options to an officer with an eighteen month vesting period.

The weighted average exercise price of all outstanding options as of March 31, 2107 is $4.00 and the weighted average fair value of the options on the grant dates was $2.85.

Risk-free interest rate:	.79 - 2.32%

Unit Purchase Option

On February 15, 2017, Sigma Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Dawson James Securities, Inc., as underwriter (the “Underwriter”) in connection with a public offering (the “Offering”) of the Company’s securities. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriter the right to purchase from the Company 70,500 Units at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price of the Units in the Offering, or $5.1625 per Unit. The Unit Purchase Option has a term of five years and is not redeemable by us. A “Unit” is defined as of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

NOTE 3 – Note Receivable

On March 27, 2017, the Company completed funding a loan in the principal amount of $500,000 to Morf3D, Inc., an Illinois corporation, pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated March 27, 2017 delivered by Morf3D to the Company. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, is due and payable in full on March 27, 2018, is secured by certain assets of Morf3D, and is convertible at the Company’s option into 10% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Morf3D unless Morf3D exercises its right under specified circumstances to repay all principal and accrued interest on the loan. The purpose of the loan is to provide working capital to Morf3D to, among other things, lease an EOS M 400 system for Morf3D for Morf3D to expand production for contracts related to AM of high-precision aerospace and defense components, in furtherance of our strategic alliance and in contemplation of a possible acquisition of or merger with Morf3D.

NOTE 4 – Notes Payable

Effective October 17, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the private placement by the Company of Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 80,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), for aggregate gross proceeds, before expenses, to the Company of $900,000 (the “Financing Transaction”).

The Notes carry a one-time upfront interest charge of a total of $100,000, which is being expensed to interest expense monthly over the 1-year term of the Notes and correspondingly increases in the Notes Payable balance each period. As of March 31, 2017, the Notes Payable balance is $944,772. However, the effective Notes Payable balance is $1 million since that is the amount we would have to pay in order to payoff the note anytime between now and the maturity date of October 17, 2017, in addition to accrued interest and a 15% pre-payment penalty.

8

---

The Notes carry an interest rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, based on the $1 million Notes Payable effective balance. Such interest is payable every three months in cash, or, at the holder’s option, in unrestricted shares of Common Stock, if a registration statement is then in effect for such shares of common stock.

In connection with the Financing Transaction, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 17, 2016, with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement related to the Financing Transaction with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the resale of (i) the shares of Common Stock that will be issued to the Investors upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”), and (ii) the Warrant Shares that will be issued to the Investors upon exercise of the Warrants.

The Notes are secured by the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated October 17, 2016, between the Company and the “collateral agent” (as defined in the Notes) for the benefit of itself and each of the Investors.

The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the final unit price of the Company’s proposed public offering initially filed with the SEC on July 28, 2016, and (ii) 150% of the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. on the date of issuance of the Notes (subject to adjustment as provided therein). As such, as of March 31, 2017, the conversion price of the Notes was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

Each Warrant has an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) the final unit price of the Company’s proposed public offering initially filed with the SEC on July 28, 2016, and (ii) 150% of the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. on the date of issuance of the Warrants (subject to adjustment as provided therein), which Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis as provided in the Warrants. As such, as of March 31, 2017, the exercise price of the Warrants was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

NOTE 5 - Continuing Operations

The Company has sustained losses and has negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. However, the Company has raised significant equity capital and is currently developing new product lines to increase future revenues. On February 21, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5.25 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. As such, the Company believes it has adequate working capital and cash to fund operations through 2017.

Overview

Sigma Labs, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “Sigma”) is a software company that has developed quality assurance software known as PrintRite3D®, which Sigma believes solves some of the major problems that have prevented large-scale metal part production using 3D printers...real-time computer-aided inspection (“CAI”). GE Aviation, for example, has stated that it plans to commit $3.5 billion by 2020 to, among other things, build a metal 3D production facility for its Leap engine and other engines to produce the applicable 3D printed parts. However, without companies like GE Aviation effectively being able to check each part for shape, density, strength and consistency real-time during the manufacturing process, we believe that such companies will not be able to adequately address the major problems currently preventing large-scale metal 3D production. We believe that our software, which is positioned “inside” the 3D metal printer, solves these problems by assuring each part is being made to the specifications of the computer file as it is being made. We enable 3D prototyping to become 3D manufacturing. Instead of performing quality assurance (“QA”) post production, our PrintRite3D® software could fundamentally redefine conventional QA by embedding quality assurance and process control into the manufacturing process in real time. We have filed patent applications directed to our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (“IPQA®”) procedure for advanced manufacturing. In addition, we anticipate that our core PrintRite3D® software will enable our customers to combine their advanced manufacturing technologies with our 3D manufacturing QA to achieve both cost savings and stronger parts. Vertical markets that we believe would benefit from our technology and software include aerospace, defense, bio-medical, power generation, and oil & gas industries. We provide our software products to customers in the form of Software as a Service (“SaaS”).

About 3D Printing

3D printing (“3DP”) or additive manufacturing (“AM”) is changing the world by going directly from computer graphics to real parts. 3D printing has been applied to the manufacture of plastic parts for several years. 3D manufacturing of metal parts involves directing a laser or other energy source at a layer of powdered metal and melting it. These layers become melted together from the bottom up. Revenues attributable to 3D manufacturing for metal products were $88.1 million in 2015 (Wohlers Report 2016, 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing State of the Industry – Annual Worldwide Progress Report).

 

The application of 3D printing to high-tolerance, precision manufactured metal parts has only recently emerged. 3D printing of metal parts today represents only a minor percentage of all 3D manufacturing. However, we believe the greatest future growth for 3D printing appears to be in metal parts given the interest and investment being made by Fortune 100 companies, Federal government laboratories and agencies as well as university-based institutions. Emphasis from these high-end manufacturers and technology leaders is strongly focused on quality and precision manufacturing for high-tolerance parts. We believe the on-going success of 3D printing for metal parts will be highly dependent upon the quality assurance procedure used such as our PrintRite3D® methodology.

About Quality Assurance in 3D Printing

Current methods for providing quality are cost prohibitive because approximately 25% of parts produced by 3D printing need to be destroyed in the post-production quality control process. Additional costs are incurred by using non-traditional x-ray scanning technology on these parts. We offer our clients the ability to use real-time sensors to track each layer, and our software continuously analyzes the part so that when it is finished we know if it is production quality. We believe our PrintRite3D® software could reduce inspection costs by a factor of 10 and development time for new parts by 50% or more.

By using PrintRite3D® software, a high-precision manufacturer would have the ability to offer its customers, on an exclusive basis, product guarantees and assurances that its product was produced in compliance with stringent quality requirements. Initial orders have been received from GE Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace, Aeroject Rocketdyne, Woodward, Siemens Pratt and Whitney, and Solar Turbines.

 

We believe there is potential for our PrintRite3D® software to be incorporated into a majority of 3D metal printing devices made by companies like Electro-Optical Systems (“EOS”), Additive Industries, Concept Lasers, Trumpf Lasers, Renishaw, Sentrol, Farsoon and others.

Sigma’s Cloud-Based IIoT Solutions

The process of making a 3D printed part could start with our customers loading a computer aided design (“CAD”) model of the part into the Cloud shown in “A” in Figure 1. Next, computer aided engineering (“CAE”) and/or computer aided manufacturing (“CAM”) instructions are sent to the 3D printer (see “B”, as shown in Figure 1). Metal powder in the machine is then deposited onto the build platform where a laser beam, or other energy source, focused onto the build platform melts each successive layer of powder in 20-50 micron increments. Our CAI sensors (see “C” in Figure 1) detect, record, analyze and compare the part as it is being made layer-by-layer against the CAD/CAM specifications and physical reference points for quality assurance during the manufacturing. Our software certifies the shape, strength, and internal density of each part, which eliminates the need to: (1) destroy a large percentage of the parts during process validation and in post-production quality assurance; and (2) retain all of the metal as opposed to cutting pieces and wasting metal.

Our PrintRite3D® CAI web-based software (see “D” in Figure 1) is being designed to reside in the Cloud (see “A” in Figure 1) of the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). We enable manufacturing engineers to assure the part quality layer-by-layer, provide for manufacturing statistical process control and harvest, aggregate, and analyze Big Data from the manufacturing real-time data collected from our PrintRite3D® SENSORPAK™ (see “C” in Figure 1), as well as post-process manufacturing data collected by our customers (see “E” in Figure 1).

 

Our specialized sensor suite (see “C” in Figure 1), known as PrintRite3D® SENSORPAK™, is an IIoT-enabled computing device. It contains the modular hardware and software necessary to connect to “cyber-physical” objects (see “B” in Figure 1) living on the manufacturing floor. It allows for bi-directional information flow between the manufacturing floor and the Cloud (see “A” in Figure 1). It starts a million-fold data reduction that finishes with our PrintRite3D® CAI software, which provides customers with product guarantees and assurances that parts were produced in compliance with stringent quality standards. It can collect, analyze, aggregate, filter, and then further communicate data from the manufacturing floor to the Cloud (see “A” in Figure 1) and enable links to other areas (see “F” in Figure 1) of the IIoT.

We generate revenues through PrintRite3D® hardware and sensor sales and CAI software licensing of our PrintRite3D® technology to customers that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes, and through ongoing annual software upgrades and maintenance fees. Additionally, we generate revenues from our contract manufacturing activities in metal AM. By running a contract AM services operation, we are able to understand the current needs of our customers and where they are going with their next-generation product development efforts. Contract AM further allows us a means for continuing/self-funding our IPQA®-enabled R&D and product development activities for PrintRite3D® CAI software. We provide our AM contract manufacturing services to customers in the form of Quality as a Service (“QaaS”). Starting with our PrintRite3D® cloud-based SaaS model, customers will contract with us for CAE, CAM and CAI services to generate and establish a digital quality record (“DQR”) for AM built parts. Each DQR is cloud-based and allows for archiving and storage of quality data, access to our big data ANALYTICS™ software App for continuous quality monitoring and improvement, and automatic industry benchmarking while maintaining firewalls between company-specific data.

In late 2015, we launched two programs − an Early Adopter Program (“EAP”) and an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Partner Program − designed to broaden our market presence and speed adoption of our PrintRite3D® technology. The EAP was designed to attract end user customers who have an existing, installed base of 3D metal printers and to offer them incentivized pricing in return for feedback on initial and beta releases of our PrintRite3D® software Apps. Our OEM Partner Program was specifically designed for AM machine manufacturers seeking to embed our PrintRite3D® quality assurance software Apps directly into their machines for customers purchasing a turnkey solution for their new AM machine purchases.

We possess the resident expertise to provide manufacturing materials and process (“M&P”) engineering services and support to companies using our PrintRite3D® software Apps for metal AM. Accordingly, in addition to our primary business focus, we intend to generate revenues by providing such manufacturing engineering services and support to businesses licensing our PrintRite3D® software Apps.

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 32 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)

On May 9, 2017, we announced the unveiling of our PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ V.2.0 quality assurance software at RAPID + TCT 2017 (www.rapid3devent.com), North America’s preeminent event for discovery, innovation, and networking in 3D manufacturing. The Company exhibited at Rapid + TCT 2017, from May 9-11, 2017.

On April 18, 2017, we announced the receipt of a contract from Solar Turbines, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc.(NYSE: CAT) Solar Turbines will implement our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) technology for the production of gas turbine components using metal additive manufacturing (“AM”). The division makes mid-size industrial turbines for use in electric power generation, gas compression, and pumping systems. We plan to initially install our PrintRite3D® software on a 3D Systems’ ProX300 machine, with the potential for multiple system orders as the company ramps up to full serial production.

On April 5, 2017, we announced the release of our OEM Developer’s Kit for PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ quality assurance software version 2.0. The Company has placed its alpha version with a European OEM partner for testing, evaluation and incorporation into its additive manufacturing 3D printers. The Developer’s Kit allows an OEM to seamlessly and quickly embed PrintRite3D® technology directly into their OEM solutions allowing for rapid entry of their products into the marketplace.

On March 29, 2017, we announced that we entered into a long-term non-exclusive commercial agreement with Additive Industries B.V. of The Netherlands. As part of the multi-year agreement, which we believe could generate several million dollars over the next few years, Additive Industries will join our previously-announced OEM Partner Program – embedding and reselling our PrintRite3D® software within our AM equipment.

In March 2017, we entered into a non-binding LOI with Morf3D to commence negotiations on a mutually acceptable M&A Agreement with respect to a proposed merger with Morf3D. It is anticipated that this transaction, if consummated, would help the Company achieve its goal of becoming a fully integrated business able to charge for materials selection, design and manufacturing and in-process quality assurance. It is further the goal that the combined entity would emerge as a fully integrated additive manufacturing company poised to serve the aerospace and defense industry, which is rapidly transitioning to 3D metal additive manufacturing and which could provide the kind of cost savings required to meet the $56 billion increase slated for the defense industry 2017 budget. The closing of the transaction is subject to definitive documentation and closing conditions, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

On March 27, 2017, we completed funding a loan in the principal amount of $500,000 to Morf3D pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated March 27, 2017 delivered by Morf3D to us. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, is due and payable in full on March 27, 2018, is secured by certain assets of Morf3D, and is convertible at our option into 10% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Morf3D unless Morf3D exercises its right under specified circumstances to repay all principal and accrued interest on the loan. The purpose of the loan is to provide working capital to Morf3D to, among other things, lease an EOS M 400 system for Morf3D for Morf3D to expand production for contracts related to AM of high-precision aerospace & defense components, in furtherance of our strategic alliance and in contemplation of a possible acquisition of or merger with Morf3D.

On March 15, 2017, we announced that we signed a strategic alliance with Jaguar Precision Machine, LLC (“Jaguar”) to expand our suite of integrated, advanced manufacturing services recently strengthened by the strategic alliance with Morf3D. The addition of Jaguar allows Sigma Labs to provide end-to-end 3D advanced component manufacturing capabilities, including: computer aided design (CAD); engineering (CAE); manufacturing (CAM); and inspection (CAI). Jaguar is a precision prototype machining facility located in Albuquerque, NM. Leveraging our 3D printing capability and PrintRite3D® quality assurance software, Jaguar will be able to provide increased production rates while ensuring consistent part quality. The two companies will also work together to manufacture 3D printed parts requiring exacting precision to demanding specifications, which could lead to contracts in 2017. On May 1, 2017, we completed funding a loan in the principal amount of $250,000 to Jaguar to provide working capital to Jaguar to, among other things, stand up a metallurgical laboratory and become ASM9100 certified for contracts related to AM of high-precision aerospace and defense components, in furtherance of our strategic alliance. Sigma will receive from Jaguar priority for use of certain machines and services of Jaguar.

On March 2, 2017 we announced that we received a contract from Aerojet Rocketdyne, a subsidiary of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AJRD), as a follow-on to last year’s award tied to a U.S. Air Force propulsion initiative. As previously announced in March, 2016, our technology is being evaluated by Aerojet Rocketdyne for its contract with the Air Force for liquid-fueled rocket engine applications – part of a plan to transition away from the Russian-made RD-180 engines currently used on the Atlas V launch vehicle.

On February 22, 2017, we announced the signing of a strategic alliance with Morf3D to bring enhanced solutions for additive manufacturing (“AM”) to the aerospace and defense (“A&D”) sector. Morf3D, based in El Segundo, California, is an AM product developer specializing in high-level consulting and manufacturing services including conceptualization, optimization, metallurgical examination, certification and data analysis. Leveraging Sigma Labs’ PrintRite3D® quality assurance software, Morf3D will be able to provide a means for customers to increase AM production rates while ensuring consistent part quality. The two companies will also work together to manufacture certain 3D printed parts going forward; contracts already in hand are expected to translate into substantial revenue for Sigma in 2017.

On February 21, 2017, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,410,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option covering additional warrants to purchase up to 211,500 additional shares of common stock. Gross proceeds to us from the offering, including the exercise of the over-allotment option, were approximately $5.8 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

On January 26, 2017, we announced that we signed a commercial agreement with Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp., for our PrintRite3D® software along with participation by Pratt & Whitney in our Early Adopter Program.

On January 19, 2017, we announced that we entered into a long term non-exclusive commercial agreement with a leading European provider of cutting-edge products for additive manufacturing to join our previously-announced OEM Partner Program. Under the multi-year agreement – which we believe could generate up to $6 million over its duration – this undisclosed OEM will embed and resell Sigma’s PrintRite3D® software within its AM equipment.

 

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 amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. 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. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report Dated December 31, 2016. 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 selling and 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. We also expect to generate revenues though contract AM manufacturing using our in-house metal 3D printing capability. However, we presently make limited sales of these technologies and services, which include limited sales of non-exclusive licenses to use our PrintRite3D® technologies, including under our recently established Early Adopter Program and OEM Partner Program, as described above. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will depend on our ability to further commercialize and increase market presence of our PrintRite3D® technologies.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized revenue of $150,203, as compared to $358,455 in revenue recognized during the same period in 2016. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the completion of the GEA America Makes Program in 2016, providing three months of revenue in 2016 but no revenue in 2017, and the completion of the DARPA Phase II project in 2016, providing three months of revenue in 2016 but no revenue in 2017. We generated revenues and financed our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily from PrintRite3D® system sales as well engineering consulting services we provided to third parties during these periods and through sales of our common stock and debt securities. We expect that our revenue will increase in future periods as we seek to further commercialize and expand our market presence for our PrintRite3D®-related technologies, and obtain new contract manufacturing orders in connection with our EOS M290 metal printer, as well as further perform on our engineering consulting contracts for the Aerojet Rocketdyne USAF Booster Propulsion program and Honeywell Aerospace for the DARPA Period 3. Our cost of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $74,534 as compared to $107,582 for the same period in 2016.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017, were $643,795, as compared to $395,488 for the same period in 2016. Our payroll expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $290,188, as compared to $215,589 for the same period in 2016. Our expenses relating to stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $139,632 as compared to $77,551 for the same period in 2016. Our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $135,195 as compared to $39,071 for the same period in 2016.

16

---

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, accounting, marketing and investor relations fees. The net increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of increased fees relating to our February 2017 public offering that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $5,250,000, along with our continued development of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies and our related efforts to expand our services. The net increase in payroll expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of our hiring of additional software development staff to assist in acceleration of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies since March 2016. The net increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of the continued development and improvements of our software and technology. The net increase in stock-based compensation costs is due to the fact that the majority of stock options were granted after March 31, 2016, thus more stock option vesting occurred in the first quarter of 2017 than the same period in 2016.

 

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, including with respect to our EAP and OEM Partner Program, 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 continue to increase as we engage more employees and other service providers to support our efforts to grow our business.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased over the prior year and totaled $943,965 as compared to $470,667 for the same period in 2016. Our revenue decreased and we experienced a larger net increase in expenses as noted above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had $4,633,046 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $4,133,817, as compared with $398,391 in cash and a working capital surplus of $110,799 as of March 31, 2016.

 

On February 21, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5,250,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

We expect to generate revenue primarily by 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. We also expect to generate revenues by providing contract AM services using our EOS M290 metal AM system. However, for the period from our inception through March 31, 2017, we generated revenue and financed our operations primarily from PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services we provided during this period and through private sales of Sigma common stock and debt securities. During the remainder of 2017, 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®-enabled PrintRite3D® technology will enable us to further commercialize this technology for the AM metal market in the remainder of 2017. However, until commercialization of our full suite of PrintRite3D® technologies, we plan to continue funding our development activities and operating expenses by licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and supporting field services, as applicable, and providing PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services concerning our areas of expertise (materials and manufacturing quality assurance and process control technologies) and contract manufacturing for metal AM, and through the use of proceeds from sales of our securities.

 

Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to $440,553 from $393,028 during the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses as noted above, which were offset by the net effect of changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accounts receivable during the quarters. Also, there was a larger net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2017 offset by more non-cash expenses during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2016. The Company anticipates less loss during the remainder of 2017 due to an expected increase in revenue, offset by an increase in salaries and related expenses in connection with our additional employees and potential acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities increased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $550,441, as compared to $60,418 during the same period in 2016, due primarily to the increase in notes receivables related to our loan to Morf3D in conjunction with our strategic alliance. Purchases during the remainder of 2017 are not expected to increase dramatically during 2017. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to $5,225,649 from $0 during the same period in 2016 due to our February 2017 public offering. There were no cash flows used or provided by financing activities in 2016.

Some of our engineering consulting contracts, including the contracts from Honeywell Aerospace, Bendix King, Siemens, EOS, Solar Turbines, Pratt & Whitney and Aerojet Rocketdyne, 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 do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Based on the funds we have as of May 15, 2017, and the proceeds we expect to receive under our PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting agreements, from selling or licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and software, sales of contract AM manufacturing for metal AM parts, and from sales of our securities, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to pay our administrative and other operating expenses through 2017. Until we are able to generate significant revenues and royalties from selling or licensing our PrintRite3D®-enabled technologies and our contact AM manufacturing services, our ability to continue to fund our liquidity and working capital needs will be dependent upon revenues from existing and future PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting contracts, strategic partnerships, contract manufacturing orders in connection with our EOS M290 metal printer, and proceeds received from sales of our securities. Accordingly, we will 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 financing. Such financing, if in the form of equity, may be highly dilutive to our existing stockholders and may otherwise include onerous terms. Such financing, if in the form of debt, may include debt covenants and repayment obligations that are onerous and that adversely affect our business operations. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, limit or terminate our business operations 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 and operations.

 

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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Rule 13a-15(e) under the 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. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
