NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 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 merger” 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

NOTE 2 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock 

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. All amounts shown for common stock included in these financial statements are presented post-Reverse Stock Split.

On April 28, 2016, the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 7,500,000 to 15,000,000 shares of common stock.

Effective February 15, 2017, 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-2 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 February 15, 2017 decreased from 6,307,577 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares to 3,153,801 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 15,000,000 to 7,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 7,500,000 shares of authorized common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

In January, 2017, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock to two directors in equal amounts of 10,000 shares each, valued at $1.72 per share, or $34,404.

In February, 2017, the Company issued 5,232 shares of common stock to a director valued at $3.25 per share, or $17,004.

On February 14, 2017, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC informed the Company that it had approved the listing of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market, effective as of February 15, 2017. The Company’s common stock ceased trading on the OTCQB on February 15, 2017, and on such date the common stock commenced trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SGLB”.

On August 8, 2017, the Company issued 7,489 shares of common stock to a director valued at $2.27 per share, or $17,000.

On August 16, 2017, the Company issued 8,213 shares of common stock to a director valued at $2.07 per share, or $17,000.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 4,577,651 and 3,133,789 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Stock Options

On September 28, 2017, the Company granted to an officer (i) a five-year stock option to purchase up to 2,500 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $1.91 per share, which was the closing market price of our common stock on September 28, 2017 (i.e., the date of grant), which option vested and became exercisable in full on the date of grant, and (ii) a five-year stock option to purchase up to 47,500 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $1.91 per share (the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant), which option is subject to vesting.

The weighted average period over which total the compensation cost of the options of $90,723 ($11,937 in 2017) will be recognized is 4 years. The weighted average exercise price of all outstanding options as of September 30, 2017 is $3.58 and the weighted average fair value of the options on the grant dates was $2.88. The estimated fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected term:	5 years
Volatility:	67.3 – 155.62%
Dividend yield:	0.00%
Risk-free interest rate:	1.13 - 2.27%

Warrants 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 80,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Each warrant, prior to its amendment described below in Note 4, had an exercise price equal to $4.13. If not exercised, the warrants to purchase the 80,000 shares will expire on October 17, 2019. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 1,621,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. If not exercised, the warrants to purchase the 1,621,500 shares will expire on February 21, 2022. The 1,621,500 warrants trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SGLBW”.

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 May 1, 2017, the Company completed funding a loan in the principal amount of $250,000 to Jaguar Precision Machine, LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company, pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated May 1, 2017 delivered by Jaguar to the Company. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, is due and payable in full on May 1, 2018, is secured by certain assets of Jaguar, and is convertible at the Company’s option into 10% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Jaguar unless Jaguar exercises its right under specified circumstances to repay all principal and accrued interest on the loan.

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.

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, pursuant to which the Company filed 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, 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 , prior to their amendment described below, provided that they were 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, the conversion price of the Notes was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

Each Warrant , prior to its amendment described below, had 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 February 17, 2017, 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, the exercise price of the Warrants was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Notes and Warrants pursuant to which, among other things set forth in the Amendments, (1) the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced from $4.13 per share to $2.00 per share, and (2) the conversion price of the Notes was reduced from $4.13 per share to $2.00 per share. Under the Amendments, Sigma paid the Investors an aggregate amount equal to $500,000 (representing 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes) plus all accrued interest on the Notes on October 2, 2017. In consideration of the foregoing, the Investors agreed to, among other things, extend the payment date of the remaining 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes from October 17, 2017 to the earlier of May 18, 2018 or the closing of the Company’s next underwritten public offering of securities in which the Company raises gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 (should the Company elect to commence and close such an offering of securities).

As of September 30, 2017, the Notes Payable balance is $994,909 which balance was reduced to $500,000 on October 2, 2017.

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 In-Process-Quality-Assurance (“IPQA”) software known as PrintRite3D®. This technology is also sometimes referred to as Real-Time-Computer-Aided Inspection (“CAI”).  Sigma believes that its PrintRite3D® solves the major problem that has prevented large-scale metal part production using 3D printers.

3D metal manufacturing is a technology that uses lasers to form or create parts out of welding powdered metals into a 3-dimensional (3D) object. The quality of these parts can vary from any given part to another on a single production run. Therefore, traditional after the fact quality inspection methods do not assure quality of 3D printed parts. Sigma believes that the best, indeed, only way to attain high yields for both manufacturing quality and cost efficiency is an IPQA® approach that looks at each part in real time as it is being manufactured and determines in real time whether it meets quality specifications.

GE Aviation 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 Leap engine 3D printed metal parts. Since September 2016, GE has spent over $1 billion buying controlling interests in AM equipment manufacturers, Concept Laser and Arcam AB, and invested over $300 million creating AM manufacturing capability in both the United States and India. However, unless companies that utilize a 3D production facility like GE Aviation are able to effectively check each part for conforming attributes of shape, density, strength and consistency in real-time during the manufacturing process, we believe that such companies will be at risk of letting some substandard parts through and, also, be unable to improve the workflow and high-quality yields of 3D printing functional metal parts. We believe that our software, which can be positioned “inside” the 3D metal printer, solves these problems by assuring each part is being made to the quality specifications of the computer file as such part is being made. In essence, our software enables 3D prototyping to become 3D manufacturing. Instead of performing quality assurance (“QA”) post production or after the fact, our PrintRite3D® software has been designed to fundamentally redefine traditional QA by embedding quality assurance and process control into the manufacturing process in real time.

We have filed patent applications on our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (“IPQA®”) process and procedure for advanced manufacturing. In addition, we anticipate that our core PrintRite3D® software will enable our customers to combine their digital manufacturing technologies with our 3D manufacturing QA to achieve both cost savings and more reliable 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 actual parts. 3D printing has been applied to the manufacture of plastic parts for decades. 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. Worldwide 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 helping the transformation of analog manufacturing of precision, high-tolerance parts in the U.S. today to a digital enterprise of tomorrow complete with automation, robotics and closed-loop process control. We believe that the on-going success of 3D printing for metal parts will be highly dependent upon the evolution of digital quality assurance procedures used, such as our PrintRite3D® process control.

About Quality Assurance in 3D Printing

Current methods for providing quality in 3DP are generally either inaccurate due to use of procedures that do not recognize and measure the primary quality issues of 3D metal manufacturing or are cost prohibitive due to the expense of equipment required to examine the interior of complex dense parts such as 3D can create, and further, may be inaccurate due to misuse of statistically based assessments.  After 3D-manufacture, costs are normally incurred by using non-destructive technologies such as ultrasound and non-traditional x-ray scanning technology on these parts, and old-fashioned visual inspection. Destructive testing of 3D parts is a mis-applied carryover from current Subtractive Manufacturing quality assurance practice in which the great consistency of CNC machines  permits quality inspectors to infer the quality of a production run by cutting up and analyzing a statistically relevant number of parts. The test result of the parts that are destroyed and analyzed have been, at great time and expense, statistically demonstrated to be representative of the rest of the parts in the production lot. The underlying premise of quality assurance for Subtractive Manufactured parts is that if a machine is set up properly, then all parts it produces will be the same. This simple, effective and accurate quality system does not apply to Additive Manufacturing, in which each part is built in an average production lot of 5-20, and in which quality variance may occur from part to part and within any part notwithstanding that the AM machine settings are the same. Therefore, unable to rely on a traditional statistically based quality system, 3D Manufacturing’s optimum quality assurance system would evaluate the quality of each individual part.  PrintRite3D®’s in-process quality inspection approach of each part individually allows a manufacturer to use AM to form a single part, such as a hip replacement or one spare aircraft part needed on an aircraft carrier, or several lots of the same part, in large quality – each approved or rejected in real time and based upon 100% inspection during fabrication. We offer our customers’ the ability to use real-time sensors to track individual scans of each layer, and our software continuously analyzes the part health so that when it is finished we can determine if it meets the production quality standard set by the customer. We believe our PrintRite3D® software could reduce inspection costs by a factor of 10 and development time for new parts by 50% or more. Most importantly is the ability of our software to reduce risk associated with the qualification and certification of printed parts.

By using PrintRite3D® software, a high-precision manufacturer would have the ability to offer its customers product warranties and assurances that its printed parts were produced in compliance with stringent quality requirements. Orders for our software have been received from Honeywell Aerospace, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Woodward, Siemens Turbomachinery, 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, Desktop Metal 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 as 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 20-60 micron increments. Our PrintRite3D SENSORPAK® (see “C” in Figure 1) detects, records, analyzes and compares the part as it is being made layer-by-layer against the CAD/CAM specifications and physical reference points for quality assurance during manufacturing. Our PrintRite3D INSPECT®, Version 3.0 software determines compliance of each part for its metallurgical quality. Our alpha version of PrintRite3D CONTOUR® software determines the shape and conformity of a part in real-time manufacture with its geometric design specification.

Our PrintRite3D® CAI web-based software suite (see “D” in Figure 1) resides in situ and/or 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 edge 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® Digital Quality Record (“DQR”) and report, 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.

Business Activities and Industry Applications

Our principal business activities include the continued development and commercialization of our PrintRite3D® suite of software applications, with our main focus currently on the 3DP and the AM industry, as well as further developing our contract additive manufacturing business for metal 3DP to be a customer prototype center available for cutting edge 3D challenges and a concurrent means of demonstrating and proving the merit of PrintRite3D® for customers’ parts or application. Our strategy is to continue to leverage our advanced manufacturing knowledge, experience and capabilities through the following means:

13

Identify, develop and commercialize our quality assurance software Apps for advanced manufacturing technologies designed to assure part quality in real time as the part is being made and improve process control practices for a variety of industries; 

Provide materials and process engineering consulting services in respect of our PrintRite3D® CAI quality assurance software Apps for advanced manufacturing to customers that have needs in developing next-generation technologies for digital manufacturing technologies; and 

Build and run a prototype and small lot contract manufacturing and demonstration division for metal 3DP beginning with our EOS M290 state-of-the-art metal printer.  

We are presently engaged in the following industry sectors:

Aerospace and defense manufacturing; and 

Energy and power generation. 

We also seek to be engaged in the following industry sectors and have begun to develop relationships with leading manufacturers in each such sector:

Bio-medical manufacturing; 

Automotive manufacturing; and 

Other markets such as firearms and recreational equipment. 

We generate revenues through PrintRite3D® hardware 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 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 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 engineering 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 engineering services and support to businesses licensing our PrintRite3D® software Apps.

Our President and Chief Technology 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 past 34 years. Due to his work with the DOE, our President and Chief Technology 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.

On September 5, 2017, we announced that our cloud-based PrintRite3D® INSPECT® software Version 2.0 was recently installed at the advanced additive manufacturing facility operated by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB in Sweden.

On August 25, 2017, we announced that the Company received an invitation to speak at the Third Joint FAA – USAF Workshop on Qualification and Certification of Additively Manufactured Parts, at which Mark Cola, our President and CTO, presented, “In-situ Monitoring for Additive Manufacturing:  Implications for the Digital Manufacturing Age,” on August 31, 2017 at the University of Dayton River Campus.

On August 22, 2017, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Digital-CAN Tech Co., LTD to serve as our non-exclusive sales agent in Taiwan. Digital-CAN has experience in a variety of industries such as aerospace, medical, tooling, industrial manufacturing 4.0 applications, architecture, product design, automotive design, and lifestyle applications. We agreed to pay Digital-CAN a commission tied to revenue generated by us as a result of customers identified by Digital-CAN. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Digital-CAN has not earned any commissions.

On August 10, 2017, we announced that our cloud-based PrintRite3D® INSPECT® software Version 2.0 was installed at Woodward Inc. Aircraft Turbine Systems group at its Zeeland, MI location. Our PrintRite3D® software is part of Woodward’s additive manufacturing strategies to ensure that their aerospace and industrial customers receive quality product.

On August 3, 2017, we announced signing Jeta Enterprises as a new manufacturer’s representative for sales of Sigma contract printing and AM services in the Northwest region of the U.S., including Oregon and Washington states. Jeta’s strong customer base in Aerospace and Medical Devices coupled with its expertise in custom-engineered components positions it to serve a growing base of demand for advanced component manufacturing with Sigma’s suite of products and services. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Jeta has not earned any commissions.

On July 27, 2017, we announced changes in senior management. Mr. Cola, who serves as President, was appointed as Sigma’s Chief Technology Officer, responsible for building and implementing the Sigma technological strategy and guiding key technical advancements towards digitalization in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Together with our executive team members, Mr. Cola will seek to expand and grow the Company through next-generation products and key customer development in a broad range of industries. John Rice, who has served as Chairman of the Board of the Company since his appointment in April 2017, replaced Mr. Cola as Chief Executive Officer effective as of July 24, 2017. As Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rice oversees our implementation of internal and external growth, with an emphasis on internal focus technology, sales, and efficiency, and externally, reaching into the marketplace to expand the Company’s digital technical bandwidth with respect to our IPQA® technology and additive manufacturing. Mr. Rice brings substantial operating and investment experience to these tasks, including with respect to operations of startup and emerging companies, corporate finance, and mergers and acquisitions.

On July 20, 2017, we announced the June 30, 2016 publication of our U.S. Patent Application No. US 2016/0185048; Multi-Sensor Quality Inference and Control For Additive Manufacturing Processes. This patent application is related to real-time quality analysis during AM processes and the characterization of material properties using acoustic signals emitted during AM which can be used in addition to optical signals to simplify the qualification of printed parts.

15

On July 6, 2017, we announced that the Company has signed a Technology Development Agreement (“TDA”) with OXYS Corporation, a technology company in Cambridge, MA working in the Industrie 4.0 space. The first project to be executed under the TDA will be a new architecture platform for the Company’s PrintRite3D® INSPECT. The Company expects that the completed project will allow for miniaturization of the sensor/hardware PrintRite3D® product, enhancements to the level of hardware/software integration moving it towards board-level integration, as well as broaden the market reach of the Company’s PrintRite3D® technology to the Smart Factory and the larger Digital Enterprise, including polymer-based 3D printing.

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 Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized revenue of $78,046 and $518,802, respectively, as compared to $189,952 and $642,230 in revenue recognized during the same periods in 2016. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to reduced programmatic sales, the revenue from which was only partially replaced by new EAP and OEM Partner Program sales due to the incentivized pricing associated with those two programs. We financed our operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily from PrintRite3D® system sales, DARPA and Aerojet programs, engineering consulting services we provided to third parties during these periods and through sales of our common stock and debt securities. We anticipate 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 Booster Propulsion program and Honeywell Aerospace for the DARPA Phase III and Plus up efforts. Our Cost of Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $81,214 and $267,160, respectively, as compared to $69,259 and $207,744 for the same periods in 2016. The increases are attributable to the additional costs associated with implementation of the EAP and OEM programs.

Our General and Administrative Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $576,855 and $1,814,843, respectively, as compared to $437,870 and $1,314,055 for the same periods in 2016. Our payroll expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $295,890 and $973,172, respectively, as compared to $259,011 and $727,494 for the same periods in 2016. Our expenses relating to stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $199,225 and $505,630, respectively, as compared to $105,641 and $236,554, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. Our research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $57,947 and $225,562, respectively, as compared to $37,526 and $88,504 for the same periods in 2016.

16

General and Administrative Expenses principally include internal operating and sales expenses and outside service fees, the largest component of which consists of services in connection with our obligations as an SEC reporting company. The increase in General and Administrative Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of fees relating to and as a consequence of our February 2017 public offering that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $5,225,650, fees incurred in connection with investing in strategic partners, the increase in interest and finance costs on the $1,000,000 note originated in October of 2016, along with the continued development of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies and our related efforts to expand our services. The increase in payroll expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is principally the result of our hiring of additional software development staff to assist in acceleration of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies and 2017 increases in administrative salaries. The increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is principally the result of increased contract consulting combined with software and hardware upgrades required for the continued development and improvement of our software and technology. The increase in stock-based compensation costs is due to the fact that the majority of stock options were granted after September 30, 2016, thus more stock option vesting occurred in each quarter of 2017 than in the same periods of 2016.

Our General and Administrative expenses are expected to continue to increase as we seek further commercialization of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies through increased marketing and sales efforts. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased over each of the prior year comparative periods and totaled $1,116,910 and $3,049,616, respectively, as compared to $719,320 and $1,931,833 for the same periods in 2016. This increase in net loss was attributable to a decrease in revenue and an increase in expenses as noted above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, we had $2,691,487 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $2,482,056, as compared with $398,391 in cash and a working capital surplus of $110,799 as of December 31, 2016.

On February 21, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5,225,650, 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 September 30, 2017, we generated revenue and financed our operations primarily from PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services as well as thru the programmatic work performed on both the DARPA Phase II and Aerojet programs we provided during this period and through sales of Sigma common stock and debt securities. We expect to further ramp up our operations and our commercialization and marketing efforts, which we anticipate 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 conducting 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 increased a net of $479,203 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $1,801,569 from $1,322,366 during the same period in 2016.  This increase was primarily due to the increases in general and administrative, payroll and research and development expenses noted above which were partially offset by the net effect of changes in accounts receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses during the period. Cash used in investing activities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $829,146, as compared to $79,741 during the same period in 2016, due primarily to the $775,267 increase in notes receivables related to our loans to Morf3D and Jaguar Precision Machine in conjunction with our strategic alliances. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased a net of $4,923,811 from $0 during the same period in 2016. There were no cash flows used or provided by financing activities in 2016.

17

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 be entitled to 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. Pursuant to the September 29, 2017 amendments to the Notes and Warrants discussed in Note 4 to our financial statements above, Sigma paid an aggregate amount equal to $500,000 plus all accrued interest on the Notes on October 2, 2017. In consideration of the foregoing, the Investors agreed to, among other things, extend the payment date of the remaining 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes from October 17, 2017 to the earlier of May 18, 2018 or the closing of the Company’s next underwritten public offering of securities in which the Company raises gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 (should the Company elect to commence and close such an offering of securities).

Based on the funds we have as of November 14, 2017, and the proceeds we expect to receive under our PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting agreements, from selling or licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and software, and sales of contract AM manufacturing for metal AM parts, 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. Revenue we generate from licensing our technologies is not expected to increase significantly during 2017 and we also anticipate that there will be an increase in the amount of cash we will use during the remainder of 2017 in connection with our efforts to identify compatible businesses to possibly acquire that will be synergistic with our business (although there is no assurance than any acquisition will be consummated). 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 Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly 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 September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

Section 1.The Corporation may have offices at such places both within and without the State of Nevada as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.  

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Nevada as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any such designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. 

Section 2.The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time and place as may be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these By-Laws. 

To be properly brought before the annual meeting, business must be either (i) specified in the notice of annual meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto) signed by the President or Vice President, or the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or by such other person or persons as the Board of Directors shall designate, (ii) otherwise brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder. Except as provided in Article III, Section 1 of these By-Laws with respect to stockholder nominations of director candidates, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors may propose any action or actions for consideration by the stockholders at any meeting of stockholders only if notice is timely given in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, written notice of such stockholder’s intent to propose such action or actions for consideration by the stockholders must be given, either by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, to the Secretary of the Corporation, by the date specified under Rule 14a-8(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (or any amendment or successor to such rule) as the deadline for submitting stockholder proposals.

A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business, and (v) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, in his capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal. Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2. The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2, and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 3.The holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s stock at any meeting of stockholders, which are present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these By-Laws. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum and the votes present may continue to transact business until adjournment. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, a majority of the voting stock represented in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat. 

Section 4.When a quorum is present at any meeting, action by the stockholders on a matter other than the election of directors is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provisions of the statutes of Nevada or the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control. 

Section 5. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder having the right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy appointed in a reasonable manner as may be permitted by law, including, without limitation, a signed writing, telegram, facsimile, and electronic communication. All proxies must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting in order to be counted in any vote at the meeting. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power, registered in his name on the books of the Corporation on the record date set by the Board of Directors. 

Section 6.No stockholder shall be permitted to cumulate his votes in the election of directors or for any other matter voted upon by stockholders. 

Section 7.Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose, or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. 

Section 8.Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The written notice of any meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. 

Section 9.The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. 

Section 10.Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. 

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1.Subject to any limitations in the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be not less than one (1) nor more than seven (7) as fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent directors. A director need not be a stockholder of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the annual meeting may be made at such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, by any committee or persons appointed by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article III, Section 1. A nomination may be made by a stockholder only if written notice of the nomination has been given to the Secretary of the corporation, either by personal delivery or registered or certified mail, not less than the date specified under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any amendment or successor to such rule) as the deadline for submitting stockholder proposals for any meeting of stockholders called for purposes of electing directors. Such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (c) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the person, and (d) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name and record address of the stockholder and (b) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The officer of the Corporation presiding at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article III, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified; provided, however, that unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, from the Board of Directors at any meeting of stockholders by the holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the Corporation’s stock. 

Section 2.Commencing with the election of directors at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as is possible, of one-third of the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. Initial class assignments shall be determined by the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, successors to the directors whose terms expired at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term, except that, the director or directors elected to Class I will be subject to election for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2018 and the director or directors elected to Class II will be subject to election for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2019. If the number of directors changes, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes such that the number of directors in each class shall remain as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or other cause shall, unless otherwise provided by law, be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled. 

Section 3.The property and business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these By-Laws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-Laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders. 

ARTICLE IV

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1.The directors may hold their meetings and have one or more offices, and keep the books of the Corporation outside of the State of Nevada. 

Section 2.Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. 

Section 3.Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board or President on twenty-four hours’ notice to each director, either personally, by telephone, by facsimile, by e-mail, by mail or by telegram; special meetings shall be called by the President or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of two directors unless the Board consists of only one director; in which case special meetings shall be called by the President or Secretary in like manner or on like notice on the written request of the sole director. 

Section 4.At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-Laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.  

Section 5.Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. 

Section 6.Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 

ARTICLE V

COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

Section 1.The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power in reference to amending the Articles of Incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board of Directors, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or fix the number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series), adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution, By-Laws, or the Articles of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt Articles of Merger. 

Section 2.Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required. 

ARTICLE VI

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Section 1.Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. 

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1.The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 

Section 2.The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. Indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. 

Section 3.To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. 

Section 4.Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 5, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination shall be made (1) by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation’s stock, (2) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (3) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so order, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 

Section 5.Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. 

Section 6.The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to the other paragraphs of this Article VII, (i) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action; and (ii) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Section 1 is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law. 

Section 7.The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors, the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII. 

Section 8.The Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation to enter into a contract with any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than those provided for in this Article VII. 

Section 9.For the purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued. 

Section 10.For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this section. 

ARTICLE VIII

OFFICERS

Section 1.The officers of this Corporation shall be chosen by the Board of Directors and shall include a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer.

ARTICLE IX

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1.Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada. Each stockholder, upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation, shall be entitled to a certificate of the capital stock of the Corporation in such form as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The Corporation seal, if applied, and the signatures by corporation officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually countersigned by an authorized person on behalf of a transfer agent or registrar other than the Corporation or its employee. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue. Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer and every certificate issued when the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall contain such legend with respect thereto as is required by law. The Corporation shall be permitted to issue fractional shares. 

Section 2.If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualification, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in section 78.195 of the Revised Nevada Statutes, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue a statement setting forth the office or agency of the Corporation from which the stockholders may obtain a copy of a statement setting forth in full or summarizing the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class of stock or series thereof that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests. 

Section 3.The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. 

Section 4.Subject to any restrictions on transfer and unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, shares of stock may be transferred only on the books of the Corporation, if such shares are certificated, by the surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate therefore properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, or upon proper instructions from the holder of uncertificated shares, in each case with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. 

Section 5.The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim or interest in such share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, save as expressly provided by the laws of the State of Nevada. 

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1.Distributions.

(b)Before payment of any distribution there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for distributions such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing distributions, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the directors may abolish any such reserve. 

Section 2.Checks. All checks or demands for money and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, or such other persons, as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. 

Section 3.Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation and the words “Corporate Seal, Nevada”. Said seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise. 

Section 4.Notices. Whenever, under the provisions of the statutes or of the Articles of Incorporation or of these By-Laws, notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, addressed to such director or stockholder, at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. Notice to any director may be by any reasonable means, including, without limitation, mail, personal delivery, facsimile, or electronic communication. All notices shall be deemed given when sent. 

Section 5.Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes or of the Articles of Incorporation or of these By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. 

ARTICLE XI

AMENDMENTS

Section 1.Except as otherwise restricted in the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws:

Any such alteration, amendment or repeal shall not require stockholder approval. 

(b)The stockholders may not adopt, amend, alter or repeal these By-Laws unless such action is approved at a duly convened meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the Corporation’s stock.

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 merger” 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

NOTE 4 - Notes Payable

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.

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, pursuant to which the Company filed 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, 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 , prior to their amendment described below, provided that they were 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, the conversion price of the Notes was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

Each Warrant , prior to its amendment described below, had 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 February 17, 2017, 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, the exercise price of the Warrants was $4.13, which is the final unit price of the Company’s public offering.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Notes and Warrants pursuant to which, among other things set forth in the Amendments, (1) the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced from $4.13 per share to $2.00 per share, and (2) the conversion price of the Notes was reduced from $4.13 per share to $2.00 per share. Under the Amendments, Sigma paid the Investors an aggregate amount equal to $500,000 (representing 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes) plus all accrued interest on the Notes on October 2, 2017. In consideration of the foregoing, the Investors agreed to, among other things, extend the payment date of the remaining 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes from October 17, 2017 to the earlier of May 18, 2018 or the closing of the Company’s next underwritten public offering of securities in which the Company raises gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 (should the Company elect to commence and close such an offering of securities).

As of September 30, 2017, the Notes Payable balance is $994,909 which balance was reduced to $500,000 on October 2, 2017.
