SIGMA LABS, INC. AND Subsidiary
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015

 

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. 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

 

6
 

 

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements for March 31, 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at March 31, 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $4,884 and $4,884 respectively.

 

7
 

 

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 three months ended March 31, 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. 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 grants for compensation are included in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity as a contra-equity account as “Deferred Compensation.”

 

8
 

 

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 $10,796 and work in process components totaling $51,648 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $70,147 and $0, 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.

 

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant as noncash compensation for services to be rendered valued at $7,500 or $0.03 per share.

 

On February 14, 2013, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant as noncash compensation for services to be rendered valued at $120,000 or $0.03 per share. Of these shares, 1,250,000 (valued at $37,500) vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2,750,000 (valued at $82,500) were cancelled in June 2013.

 

On March 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 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 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant options, shares of common stock with and without restrictions, and stock appreciation rights to purchase up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors.

 

On May 10, 2013, the Company issued 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant as noncash compensation for services rendered valued at $12,400 or $0.0248 per share.

 

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) remain unvested and are reflected as deferred compensation as of March 31, 2015.

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:

 

17
 

 

  · Aerospace and defense manufacturing;

 

  · Oil and Gas manufacturing;

 

  · Bio-medical manufacturing; and

 

  · Automotive manufacturing.

 

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.

Sigma Labs Announces Contract for America Makes Program

 

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 NAMII and covers our proprietary PrintRite3D® software for advanced AM monitoring. We are expected to deploy a total of three systems – one each to GE Aviation and to other team members Honeywell and Aerojet Rocketdyne, a unit of GenCorp – over the next 17 months.

 

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized revenue of $185,686, as compared to $114,829 in revenue that we generated during the same period 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 three months ended March 31, 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 new EOS M290. Our costs of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $24,867, as compared to $55,889 for the same period in 2014.

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $267,703, as compared to $249,543 for the same period in 2014. Our payroll expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $71,366, as compared to $251,945 for the same period in 2014. Our expenses relating to non-cash stock compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $124,044, as compared to $25,200 for the same period in 2014. Our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $70,147, as compared to $0 for the same period 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 months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is principally the result of increased investor relations expenditures and consultant services provided to us due to our growing operations. The net decrease in payroll expenses for the three months ended March 31, 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. The net increase in non-cash stock compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is principally the result of our issuance of shares of our common stock in lieu of additional cash payments to our consultants, employees and directors. The net increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is principally the result of our increased engineering activities, which consist of the development of our PrintRite3D® quality assurance technologies for specific customers and for the industry in general.

 

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 marketing and sales efforts associated with contract manufacturing activities. 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.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased slightly over the prior year and totaled $371,881, as compared to $467,095 for the same period in 2014. The decrease in our net loss was the result of increases in revenue and decreased payroll expenses, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses, non-cash compensation expenses and research and development expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had $2,489,660 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $2,594,753, 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 March 31, 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.

 

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 May 14, 2015, B6 Sigma has four active engineering consulting contracts with respect to which we expect to perform and generate up to approximately $680,000 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 NAMII contract has been delayed, resulting 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 May 14, 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 May 14, 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 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 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.

 

In fiscal 2014, we purchased the EOS M290 for $724,000. The final payment of $241,333 was made 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 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.
