PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

 

  1) Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “the Company”) is focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming and, in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely-used laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels i.e., 35,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”) or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.

 

Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and our internally developed consumables product line, which include our Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).

 

In 2015, together with an investment bank, we formed a subsidiary called Pressure BioSciences Europe (“PBI Europe”) in Poland. We have 49% ownership interest with the investment bank retaining 51%. As of now, PBI Europe does not have any operating activities but is expected to commence operations in 2016. Therefore, we don’t have control of the subsidiary and did not consolidate in our financial statements.

 

  2) Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2015, we do not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising cash through debt and equity offerings in the past and as described in Note 6, completed debt financing subsequent to September 30, 2015. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings.

 

Management has developed a plan to continue operations. This plan includes obtaining equity or debt financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we received $5,952,053 net proceeds, in additional convertible and non-convertible debt. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

 

We need substantial additional capital to fund normal operations in future periods. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

  3) Interim Financial Reporting

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.

 

  4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pressure BioSciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary PBI BioSeq, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

To prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we are required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates were made in projecting future cash flows to quantify deferred tax assets, the costs associated with fulfilling our warranty obligations for the instruments that we sell, and the estimates employed in our calculation of fair value of stock options awarded and warrant derivative liability. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 

Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We have cash investment policies which, among other things, limit investments to investment-grade securities. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and the risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated by the fact that many of our customers are government institutions, large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic laboratories.

 

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of total revenues during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

    For the Three Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2015     2014  
Top Five Customers     43 %     53 %
Federal Agencies     2 %     1 %

 

    For the Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,  
      2015       2014  
Top Five Customers     34 %     31 %
Federal Agencies     14 %     1 %

 

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of net accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

 

    September 30, 2015     December 31, 2014  
Top Five Customers     61 %     86 %
Federal Agencies     1 %     9 %

 

Product Supply

 

BIT Group, Inc. of California has been our sole contract manufacturer for our PCT NEP3229 and NEP2320 instrumentation. However, the Company has reached agreement for a Massachusetts-based contract manufacturer to assemble its future builds of the NEP2320 instrument, effective in early 2016.

Investment in Available-For-Sale Equity Securities

 

As of September 30, 2015, we held 601,500 shares of common stock of Everest Investments Holdings S.A. (“Everest”), a Polish publicly traded company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We account for this investment in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” as securities available for sale. On September 30, 2015, our balance sheet reflected the fair value of our investment in Everest to be $323,860, based on the closing price of Everest shares of $0.54 per share on that day. The carrying value of our investment in Everest common stock held will change from period to period based on the closing price of the common stock of Everest as of the balance sheet date. This change in market value will be recorded by us on a quarterly basis as an unrealized gain or loss in Comprehensive Income or Loss.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, or ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 amends current presentation guidance by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Costs incurred in obtaining debt funding are currently deferred and amortized on an effective interest method over the terms of the loans. Amortization expense for 2015 and 2014 was $41,085 and $0 respectively, and has been classified with interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Computation of Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, common stock dividends, and warrants and options to acquire common stock, are all considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to our net loss.

 

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

We maintain equity compensation plans under which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options are granted to employees, independent members of our Board of Directors and outside consultants. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant.

 

Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants

 

Valuation and Amortization Method - The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on certain assumptions. The estimated fair value of employee stock options is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

 

Expected Term - The Company uses the simplified calculation of expected life, as the Company does not currently have sufficient historical exercise data on which to base an estimate of expected term. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted.

 

Expected Volatility - Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock volatility data over the expected term of the award.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

 

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 5% for awards granted based on historical experience and future expectations of options vesting. The Company used this historical rate as our assumption in calculating future stock-based compensation expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. Long-term liabilities are primarily related to liabilities transferred under contractual arrangements with carrying values that approximate fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) as it related to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

 

The Company generally defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

11
   

 

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined that its financial assets are classified within Level 1 and its financial liabilities are currently classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The development of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015.

  5) Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

Our corporate offices are currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. In November 2007, we signed a lease agreement commencing in February 2008 pursuant to which we lease approximately 5,500 square feet of office space. We extended the lease term until December 31, 2015 with a monthly payment of $4,800.

 

In September 2014 we moved to approximately 855 square feet of lab space in Medford, MA with a monthly payment of $3,094. Effective November 1, 2015, we entered into a revised lease with the addition of 833 additional square feet of lab and office space at the existing facility in Medford, MA. The new monthly payment is $5,385. The expiration of the new lease remains unchanged: December 31, 2017.

 

Rental costs are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 we incurred $73,775 and $43,200 in rent expense, respectively for the use of our corporate office and research and development facilities.

 

Government Grants

 

We have received a $1.05 million NIH SBIR Phase II Grant. Under the grant, the NIH has committed to pay the company to develop a high-throughput, high pressure-based DNA Shearing System for Next Generation Sequencing applications.

 

  6) Convertible Debt and Other Debt

 

We have entered into various convertible debentures. The convertible debentures have terms ranging from 12 to 24 months and subject to annual interest rates ranging from 4% to 10%. The proceeds received are net of fees. The lenders charge interest per annum based on the principal balance. The lenders have the right, at any time after 180 days from the issue date to convert any or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a volume weighted average price of the closing prices of the Company’s shares during various periods prior to conversion subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings. The Company shall have the right to prepay the debenture for a payment of the outstanding principal plus unpaid interest at any time on or before six months after the effective date. If the Company chooses to prepay it will incur pre-payment penalties ranging from 19% to 38% of the principal balance. The Company is required to reserve shares of common stock for full conversion of these debentures. The maturity dates range from six months to two years after the effective date of the payment. The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and therefore bifurcated the conversion feature on each debt agreement and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was accounted for as a note discount and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. The fair value of the conversion feature was reflected in the conversion option liability line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The proceeds from these convertible debts were allocated between the host debt instrument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in allocations to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, the gross proceeds is offset by debt discounts which will be amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the debt.

 

In connection with the senior secured convertible debentures issued in our still open private placement with closings in July 2015 and September 2015, we also issued warrants to the lenders to purchase an aggregate 5,857,142 shares of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, expiring five years after the issuance date.

 

ASC 470-20 states that the proceeds from the issuance of debt with detachable stock warrants should be allocated between the debt and warrants on the basis of their relative fair market values. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the two year term of these loans. We amortized $149,025 of the debt discount to interest expense in 2015. The warrants issued in connection with the convertible debentures are classified as warrant derivative liabilities because the warrants are entitled to certain rights in subsequent financings and the warrants contain “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). Since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the warrants, the warrants cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the binomial model, resulting in an allocation of $1,182,439 to the total warrants out of the gross proceeds of $3,280,000. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. We will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first.

Other Notes

 

On January 15, 2015 we signed a Merchant Agreement with a lender. Under the agreement we received $150,000 in exchange for rights to all customer receipts until the lender is paid $187,500, which was collected at the rate of $744 per business day. The payments were secured by essentially all tangible assets of the Company. $67,925 of the proceeds were used to pay off the outstanding balance of a previous loan from this lender. The Company paid $1,875 in fees in connection with this loan. The note was paid off in its entirety prior to September 30, 2015.

 

On January 29, 2015 we signed a Merchant Agreement with a lender. Under the agreement we received $200,000 in exchange for rights to all customer receipts until the lender is paid $278,000, which was collected at the rate of $1,985 per business day.

OVERVIEW

 

We are focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming and, in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely-used laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels i.e., 35,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”) or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.

 

Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and our internally developed consumables product line, which include our Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).

 

We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2015, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result we have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, including equity financing subsequent to September 30, 2015, we believe we will have the cash resources that will enable us to continue to fund normal operations into the foreseeable future.

 

We need substantial additional capital to fund normal operations in future periods. If we are able to obtain additional capital or otherwise increase our revenues, we may increase spending in specific research and development applications and engineering projects and may hire additional sales personnel or invest in targeted marketing programs. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

 

We hold 14 United States and 10 foreign patents covering multiple applications of PCT in the life sciences field. Our pressure cycling technology employs a unique approach that we believe has the potential for broad use in a number of established and emerging life sciences areas, including;

 

  sample preparation for genomic, proteomic, and small molecule studies;
     
  pathogen inactivation;
     
  protein purification;
     
  control of chemical (particularly enzymatic) reactions; and
     
  immunodiagnostics (clinical laboratory testing).

Results of Operations

 

Comparison for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenue

 

We recognized total revenue of $580,334 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $372,545 during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $207,789 or 56%. This increase is attributable to increases in both products and services and grant revenue as detailed below.

 

Products, Services, Other. Revenue from the sale of products and services increased 29% to $481,452 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $372,545 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sale of pressure-based instrument systems. Sales of consumables for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $28,339 compared to $51,831 during the same period in the prior year.

 

Grant Revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded grant revenue of $98,882 compared to no grant revenue in the comparable period in 2014. Our previous grants were completed in September of 2013 and we did not receive a new grant until December of 2014. The December 2014 grant was for approximately $1,000,000 and will be paid over a period of two years.

 

Cost of Products and Services

 

The cost of products and services was $209,804 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $149,065 for the comparable period in 2014. The cost of products and services increased with the concomitant increase in the sales of instrument systems. Gross profit margin on products and services was 56% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 60% for the prior period.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures were $355,574 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $232,032 in the same period in 2014. This increase resulted primarily from additional research activities funded through our SBIR Phase II grant, with the aim to develop a new pressure-based system for the extraction of DNA from samples for an analysis. We also added much needed electrical engineering and computer software support, to help enhance our entire line of pressure-based instrument systems.

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $207,888 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $188,129 for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $19,759 or 11%. This increase is primarily attributed to expenses incurred to attend additional tradeshows, more active marketing, and to the generation of data by our collaborative partners that can be used to introduce new and upgraded products and services.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, selling and marketing expense included $13,310 and $1,391 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative costs totaled $497,796 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $600,952 for the comparable period in 2014, a decrease of $103,156 or 17%. The decrease is primarily related to cost savings from renegotiated vendor contracts.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, general and administrative expense included $43,247 and $3,247 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

Operating Loss

 

Our operating loss was $690,728 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $797,633 for the comparable period in 2014, a decrease of $106,905 or 13%.

Interest expense totaled $1,584,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to interest expense of $179,942 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense in the current period included $974,961 for conversion option amortization of which $717,023 related to loan payoffs triggering immediate write down of the conversion option. The remaining interest expense included $257,319 note discount amortization and $87,499 prepayment penalty accruals.

 

Change in fair value of warrant derivative liability

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded non-cash expense of $2,440 for warrant revaluation in our consolidated statements of operations due to an increase in the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued in our private placement offerings. We recorded $85,391 non-cash income in the prior comparable period. This increase in fair value was primarily due to the increase in price of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2015 as compared to the price on June 30, 2015. The components for determining the fair value of the warrants are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Change in fair value of conversion option liability

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded non-cash income of $434,939 for conversion option revaluation expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to a decrease in the fair value of the conversion option liability related to convertible debt. This decrease in fair value was primarily due to the decrease in price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2015 as compared to the price on June 30, 2015 or the date the debt was incurred during the quarter and the shorter time to maturity of the debt. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 we recorded non-cash income $47,746 for conversion option liability revaluation. The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liabilities are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Gain on extinguishment of embedded derivative liabilities

 

A total of $1,180,251 of the conversion option liability was recognized as a gain on extinguishment of embedded derivative liabilities when the underlying convertible debt was paid off and thus also extinguished the corresponding derivative liability. The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liabilities are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other Expense

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 we also recorded a non-cash expense of $80,102 upon issuance of convertible debt to account for the excess of fair value of the conversion option liability embedded in the debt instruments over the amount of the debt incurred. The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liability and can be found in Note 4 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss to common shareholders of $656,217 or $(0.03) per share, as compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $1,002,412 or $(0.07) per share in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net loss per share decreased by $0.04 due to the decreased net loss to common shareholders as detailed above. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the period increased because of the issuance of shares of common stock to investor relations firms for services rendered and because of Company agreed-upon conversions of Convertible Debt.

Comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenue

 

We recognized total revenue of $1,433,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1,084,156 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $349,416 or 32%. This increase is attributable to an increase in products and services and grant revenue as detailed below.

 

Products, Services, Other. Revenue from the sale of products and services was $1,174,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1,084,156 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $90,235 or 8%. Revenue included sales of both PBI and Constant Systems pressure-based products. Sales of consumables decreased by $16,298 or 11.6% to $124,687 compared to $140,985 for the prior year period.

 

Grant Revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $259,181 of grant revenue. We did not have any grant revenue activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Cost of Products and Services

 

The cost of products and services was $575,780 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $461,124 for the comparable period in 2014. This increase was primarily based on the concomitant increase in pressure-based systems sold. Gross profit margin on products and services was 51% and 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures were $878,899 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $716,358 in the same period in 2014, an increase of $162,541 or 23%. This increase resulted primarily from additional research activities funded through our SBIR Phase II grant, with the aim to develop a new pressure-based system for the extraction of DNA from samples for an analysis. We also added much needed electrical engineering and computer software support to help enhance our entire line of pressure-based instrument systems.

 

Research and development expense recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 included $41,172 and $19,602 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses remained nearly unchanged at $574,289 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $555,543 for the comparable period in 2014. These expenses remained steady although we continued to attend key trade shows and more actively marketed our complete line of products.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, selling and marketing expense included $27,386 and $13,296 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative costs totaled $2,034,040 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1,777,887 for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $256,153 or 14%. The increase is primarily related to increases in investor relations, patent and trademark, outside technical services, and consulting expenses.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, general and administrative expense included $116,812 and $13,873 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

27
   

 

Operating Loss

 

Our operating loss was $2,629,436 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $2,426,756 for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $202,680 or 8%. This increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative costs as previously described.

 

Other Income (Expense), Net

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense totaled $2,831,106 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to interest expense of $658,255 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine month period in 2015 we amortized approximately $2,339,957 of imputed interest against the debt discount on these loans relating to conversion options liabilities, fees incurred in conjunction with these loans and prepayment penalties.

 

Change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded non-cash income of $37,672 for warrant revaluation income in our consolidated statements of operations due to a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued in our Series D private placement. This decrease in fair value was primarily due to the decrease in price of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2015 as compared to the price on December 31, 2014. The components for determining the fair value of the warrants are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Change in fair value of conversion option liability

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a non-cash income of $477,738 for conversion option revaluation income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to a decrease in the fair value of the conversion option liability related to convertible debt. This decrease in fair value was primarily due to the decrease in price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2015 as compared to the price on December 31, 2014.The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liabilities are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Gain on extinguishment of embedded derivative liabilities

 

$2,028,324 of the conversion option liability was recognized as a gain on extinguishment of embedded derivative liabilities when the underlying convertible debt was paid off and thus also extinguished the corresponding derivative liability. The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liabilities are contained in the table in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other Expense

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we also recorded a non-cash expense of $513,352 most of which incurred upon issuance of convertible debt to account for the fair value of the conversion option liability embedded in the debt instruments over the amount of the debt incurred. The components for determining the fair value of the conversion option liability can be found in Note 4 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss to common shareholders of $3,451,928 or $(0.17) per share, as compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $4,807,909 or $(0.35) per share in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in loss per share is primarily attributable to the increase in weighted average shares of common stock outstanding in 2015 and non-recurring deemed dividends in the prior period on preferred stock.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of September 30, 2015, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, we have substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising cash through debt and equity offerings in the past and as described in Note 8, we completed several subscriptions of a $5 million PIPE through and subsequent to September 30, 2015. We have efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings.

 

We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations in future periods. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

 

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2,679,949 as compared to $2,202,713 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in cash used in operations in 2015 is principally due to the increase in loss from operations, a decrease in accounts payable, and an increase in the purchase of materials for product manufacturing.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was not significant.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2,289,538 as compared to $2,276,651 for the same period in the prior year. The cash from financing activities in the period ending September 30, 2015 includes $3,991,437 from convertible debt, net of fees and original note discounts, less convertible debt payments of $2,107,065. We also received $1,300,000 from non-convertible debt, net of fees, less payment on non-convertible debt of $537,641. In the prior year we received $957,744 from convertible debt and $1,476,360 in proceeds from our Series K Convertible Preferred Stock offering.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

This Item 3 is not applicable to us as a smaller reporting company and has been omitted.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filings are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2015 is due to the continued presence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. These material weaknesses are the following:

 

  A lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.
     
  A lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to valuation of warrants and other complex debt /equity transactions. Specifically, this material weakness led to segregation of duties issues and resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.
     
  These two deficiencies were exaggerated by the resignation of our CFO, Richard Thomley, on November 6, 2015.

 

We continue to plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:

 

  Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions. We plan to hire additional senior accounting personnel or additional independent consultants once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significant additional working capital.
     
  Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

 

During the period covered by this Report, we implemented and performed additional substantive procedures, such as supervisory review of work papers and consistent use of financial models used in equity valuations, to ensure our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2015, are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP. We have not, however, been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses due to our limited financial resources. Our remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

In addition, significant estimates were made in projecting future cash flows to quantify deferred tax assets, the costs associated with fulfilling our warranty obligations for the instruments that we sell, and the estimates employed in our calculation of fair value of stock options awarded and warrant derivative liability. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.</p> <p style="margin: 0pt"></p> <p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in"><i>Computation of Loss per Share</i></p> <p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&#160;</p> <p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, common stock dividends, and warrants and options to acquire common stock, are all considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to our net loss.</p> <p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
