NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business – On September 13, 2010 Sigma -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 CompanySigma 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. The terms the “Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sigma Labs, Inc.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Article 8Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of U.S.America and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.(“SEC”) regarding interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 20172018 and 20162017 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, 20162017 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 20172018 and 20162017 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. In addition, $153,013 of issuance costs associated with the February 2017 capital raise have been reclassified from operating costs to a reduction in additional paid in capital.

 

Continuing Operations - The Company has sustained losses and had negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. In 2017 and the first six months of 2018, management has reported a change of strategy under which the company ceased to make sales and installations for research and development applications in order to focus its efforts entirely on potential customers already manufacturing 3D metal parts and therefore, already in need of quality improvement. The result of this change between September 2017 and the second quarter of 2018 was a significant decrease in revenues which the Company hopes to replace with orders for serial production use. The Company has raised significant equity capital as it continues to develop new products with commercial applications that may increase future revenues. On February 21, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5,097,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company was able to fund operations for 2017 with these funds and end the year with a cash balance of $1,515,674. On March 28, 2018, Sigma received $535,000 in full payment of the Morf 3D note and related accrued interest balance. In addition, on April 6, 2018, the Company closed a private placement offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $877,500, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. On June 26, 2018 the Company closed a public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,068,900, after deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. As a result, the Company currently has sufficient cash and working capital to fund operations through the first quarter of 2019 and is anticipating that sales contracts may be closed in the second half of fiscal 2018 generating additional cash flow in the near term.

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.” Shares underlying the Companies outstanding warrants, options or note conversion features were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At June 30, 2018 the Company had 350 convertible preferred stock shares, 3,477,060 warrants, 664,707 stock options and a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments is 4,516,767. At June 30, 2017 the Company had 1,701,500 warrants, 229,938 stock options and $1,000,000 in Convertible Notes Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments was 2,431,438.

 

The following data shows the amounts used in computing loss per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

  Three Months Ended June 30  Six Months Ended June 30

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. 2015-012018-11 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, other than ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), addressed below, these updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (Topic 605), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 and all related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. There is no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings due to the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard determined to be immaterial. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis.

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.

Overview

 

Sigma Labs, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or "Sigma") is a software company that has developed quality assurance software known as PrintRite3D® (aka, real-time computer-aided inspection (“CAI”)), which Sigma believes solves the major problems that have prevented large-scale metal part production using 3D printers. 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 the applicable 3D printed parts. However, unless companies that utilize a 3D production facility like GE Aviation are able to effectively check each part for shape, density, strength and consistency real-time during the manufacturing process, we believe that such companies will not be able to simplify the qualification of printed parts with an in-process monitoring method and therefore will be unable to improve the workflow of 3D printing functional metal parts. We believe that our software, which is positioned “inside” the 3D metal printer, solves these problems by assuring each part is being made to the specifications of the computer fileas such part is being made. We enable 3D prototyping to become 3D manufacturing. Instead of performing quality assurance (“QA”) post production, our PrintRite3D® software has been designed to fundamentally redefine conventional QA by embedding quality assurance and process control into the manufacturing process in real time. We have filed patent applications directed to our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (“IPQA®”) procedure for advanced manufacturing. In addition, we anticipate that our core PrintRite3D® software will enable our customers to combine their digital manufacturing technologies with our 3D manufacturing QA to achieve both cost savings and stronger parts. Vertical markets that we believe would benefit from our technology and software include aerospace, defense, bio-medical, power generation, and oil & gas industries. We provide our software products to customers in the form of Software as a Service (“SaaS”). Corporation Information

 

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

By using PrintRite3D® software, a high-precision manufacturer would have the ability to offer its customers product guarantees and assurances that its printed parts were produced in compliance with stringent quality requirements. Orders for our software have been received from GE Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace, Aeroject Rocketdyne, Woodward, Siemens, Pratt and Whitney, and Solar Turbines.

We believe there is potential for our PrintRite3D® software to be incorporated into a majority of 3D metal printing devices made by companies like Electro-Optical Systems (“EOS”), Additive Industries, Concept Lasers, Trumpf Lasers, Renishaw, Sentrol, Farsoon, 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 20-50 micron increments. Our CAI sensors (see “C” in Figure 1) detect, record, analyze and compare the part as it is being made layer-by-layer against the CAD/CAM specifications and physical reference points for quality assurance during manufacturing. Our software certifies the shape, strength, and internal density of each part, which eliminates the need to: (1) destroy a large percentage of the parts during process qualification and in post-production quality assurance; and (2) retain all of the metal as opposed to cutting pieces and wasting metal.

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

Our specialized sensor suite (see “C” in Figure 1), known as PrintRite3D® SENSORPAK™, is an IIoT-compliant 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.

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.

All shares of preferred stock that were issued in the offering were converted into an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annualthis Quarterly Report Dated December 31, 2016.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 IPQA technologies, selling technical support services and contract manufacturing and materials technologiesselling specialty parts and studies to businesses that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes and/or manipulate and improve the most functional characteristics of the materials and other input components used in their business operations. We also expect to generate revenues though contract AM manufacturing using our in-house metal 3D printing capability. However, we presently make limited sales of these technologies and services, which include limited sales of non-exclusive licenses to use our PrintRite3D® technologies, including under our recently established Early Adopter Program and OEM Partner Program, as described above.production-run quality yields. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will depend on our ability to further commercialize and increase market presence of our PrintRite3D® technologies.technologies, and it will depend on if key prospective customers continue to move from AM metal prototyping to production.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

In the second quarter of 2018, we recognized revenue of $98,663 compared to $290,553 during the same period of 2017. The primary contributors to the $191,890 reduction were revenue decreases of $118,737 from the DARPA and Aerojet government programs and $128,174 from new system sales. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net other revenue in the second quarter of 2018, principally attributable to $49,031 in revenue from contract AM service sales in the second quarter of 2018 compared to no such sales in the second quarter of 2017. Our cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $68,568 as compared to $111,412 during the same period of 2017. The decrease of $42,844 is primarily due to $43,915 of system costs associated with the second quarter 2017 system sales.

Sigma’s total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $1,422,511 compared to $1,108,234 for the same period of 2017, a $314,277 increase. Our operating expenses are comprised of internal operating and sales expenses, outside service fees, research & development costs, and depreciation & amortization.

The most significant of our operating expenses is personnel costs, comprised of payroll and stock-based compensation expense. Payroll costs in the second quarter of 2018 were $426,049 compared to $346,994 for the same period in 2017. The $79,055 increase result primarily from the strategic addition of six employees since the end of the second quarter of 2017, three in the third quarter of 2017 realignment and three in the second quarter of 2018 as we continue the concentrated acceleration of technology development and expand into the European 3D manufacturing market. Stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2018 was $423,067 compared to $166,773 for the same period in 2017. The $256,294 increase resulted primarily from the issuance of stock options to our Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2018, $61,651 of additional stock options vesting expense related to the options issued to our President and Chief Technology Officer under his amended and restated employment agreement, and the amortization of an additional $72,494 in Board of Director stock compensation cost in that same 2018 period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, Sigma incurred research and development expenditures of $95,045 compared to $131,908 in the same period of 2017. The $36,863 decrease in these expenditures resulted primarily from a reduction in the amount of third party consulting utilized in Sigma’s Inspect 2.0 software and contour hardware development between the two periods.

Sigma’s public company costs and investor relation fees incurred in the second quarter of 2018 were $103,197 compared to $131,780 incurred during the same period in 2017. The $28,583 decrease in the three-month comparative expenditures resulted primarily from the timing of the payment of the $38,500 annual Nasdaq registration fee between the two years.

During the second quarter of 2018, Sigma’s office expenses were $110,936 compared to $64,739 in the same period of 2017. The $46,197 increase in these expenditures resulted primarily from the purchase of computer hardware and software and the rental of additional office space for new employee hires in the last half of 2017 and the second quarter of 2018, and from additional travel expense related to both a more aggressive outreach to prospective EOM and service bureau clients and our expansion into the European market in the second quarter of 2018.

In the second quarter of 2018, our net other income & expense was net income of $3,612 compared to net other expense of $59,646 in the second quarter of 2017. The second quarter 2018 net income was comprised of $3,719 of interest income on the remaining note receivable balance and an exchange rate gain of $1,304 offset by $1,411 of interest expense on the remaining balance of the note payable. This compares to $12,598 of interest income on the original note receivable balance offset by $49,862 of interest expense and a $22,382 loss on disposal of computer software in the second quarter of 2017.

Sigma’s total net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $1,388,804 as compared to $988,741 for the second quarter of 2017, a $400,063 increase with operating income contributing $463,323 to the increased loss and increased other income and expense offsetting it by $63,260.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we recognized revenue of $440,756, as$202,078 compared to $452,279 in$405,076 of revenue recognized during the same period of 2017. The primary contributors to the $202,998 reduction were revenue decreases of $134,473 from the DARPA and Aerojet government programs and $130,561 in 2016.new system sales, partially offset by increased in net other revenue in the 2018, primarily, $58,631 of contract AM service sales. Our cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $142,363 compared to $185,946 during the same period in 2017. The decrease in revenue wasof $43,583 is primarily due to $43,915 of system costs associated with the completionsecond quarter 2017 system sales.

Sigma’s total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $2,599,641 compared to $2,114,717 for the same period in 2017, a $484,924 increase.

Payroll costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $824,706 compared to $785,204 for the same period in 2017. The $39,502 increases result primarily from the earlier mentioned addition of six employees since the end of the GEA America Makes Programsecond quarter of 2017, partially offset by a $50,000 bonus payment in 20162017 to our Vice President of Business Development in connection with the satisfaction of performance milestones. Stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $584,589 compared to $306,405 for the same period in 2017. This $278,184 increase resulted primarily from the previously detailed options vesting and shares amortization increases that generated threeoccurred in the second quarter of 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Sigma incurred research and development expenditures of $217,022 compared to $186,413 in the same period of 2017. The $30,609 increase in these expenditures during the first six months of revenue2018 resulted primarily from the purchase of multiple upgraded servers and various pieces of specialized equipment as part of our continued concentrated acceleration of technology development.

Sigma’s public company and investor relation fees incurred in 2016 but no revenuethe six months ended June 30, 2018 were $283,596, compared to $243,913 during the same period in 2017. The $39,683 increase in the six-month comparative expenditures results primarily from the $122,263 increase in stock and cash compensation paid to non-employee board members in 2018 offset by a reduction of $82,573 in amortization expense related to stock compensation paid to officers of the company in 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Sigma’s Office Expenses were $206,042 compared to $148,944 in the same period of 2017. The $57,098 increases in these expenditures resulted primarily from $27,787 in additional 2018 hardware, software, supplies and office space costs for new employees, and from $28,296 additional 2018 travel expense related to both a more aggressive outreach to prospective OEM, service bureau and end user customers and our expansion into the European market.

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, our net other income & expense was a net expense of $19,754, as compared to net other income of $80,214 in the same periods of 2017. The six-month 2018 net expense was primarily comprised of a $36,733 write-off of patent and patent application costs offset by interest income of $17,086 on the outstanding notes receivable. The 2017 net positive contribution for the six-month period is comprised of $152,068 in New Mexico state job incentive credits received and a $93,206 positive revaluation of derivatives offset by $56,441 of debt amortization expense, $99,178 of interest expense on the $1,000,000 notes originated in October of 2016 and a $22,2382 write-off of computer software.

Sigma’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $2,559,680 as compared to $1,815,373 for the same period of 2017, a $744,307 increase with operating income contributing $644,338 and other income and expense contributing $99,969.

We financed our operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 primarily from revenue generated 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 and preferred stock and, in 2017, through the issuance of debt securities. We anticipateexpect 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 service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $185,946 as compared to $138,485 for the same period in 2016. The $47,461 increase is attributable to generating more commercial revenue in 2017 that resulted in lower margins versus generating more programmatic and engineering consulting revenue in 2016 that resulted in higher margins.M290.

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were $1,237,988, as compared to $876,185 for the same period in 2016. Our payroll expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $677,282, as compared to $468,484 for the same period in 2016. Our expenses relating to stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $306,405 as compared to $130,913 for the same period in 2016. Our research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $167,615 as compared to $50,978 for the same period in 2016.

General and administrative expenses principally include operating expenses and outside service fees, the largest component of which consists of services in connection with our obligations as an SEC reporting company, in addition to other legal, accounting, marketing and investor relations fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of fees relating to our February 2017 public offering that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $5,250,000, fees incurred in connection with investing in strategic partners, 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of our hiring of additional software development staff to assist in acceleration of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies since March 2016. The increase in research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is principally the result of the continued development and improvements of our software and technology. The increase in stock-based compensation costs is due to the fact that the majority of stock options were granted after June 30, 2016, thus more stock option vesting occurred in the first quarter of 2017 than the same period in 2016.

As a result of our increased operating activities, including as we seek further commercialization of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technologies, and our increased marketing and sales efforts associated with such technologies, including with respect to our EAP and OEM Partner Program, and our contract manufacturing activities, our general and administrative expenses in the future are expected to continue to increase. Similarly, we anticipate that our payroll and non-cash compensation expenses will continue to increase as we engage more employees and other service providers to support our efforts to grow our business.

Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased over the prior year period and totaled $1,932,706 as compared to $1,212,513 for the same period 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 June 30, 2017,2018, we had $3,384,499$3,519,637 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $3,374,359,$3,320,502, as compared with $398,391$1,515,674 in cash and a working capital surplus of $110,799$2,273,801 as of December 31, 2016.2017.

 

Our major sources of funding have been proceeds from public and private offerings of our equity securities (both common stock and preferred stock), and from warrant exercises. On February 21, 2017,April 6, 2018, the Company closed an underwrittena private placement of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $920,000, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. On June 26, 2018, the Company closed a public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5,250,000,$2,139,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The principal balance in the amount of $50,000 and any accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible promissory note that is payable by us is due in October 18, 2018.

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 June 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. During the remainder of 2017,2018, 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 2017.2018. However, until commercialization of our full suite of PrintRite3D® technologies, we plan to continue funding our development activities and operating expenses by licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and supporting field services, as applicable, and providing PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services concerning our areas of expertise (materials and manufacturing quality assurance and process control technologies) and contract manufacturing for metal AM, and through the use of proceeds from sales of our securities.

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased to $1,440,304 from $914,556 during the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses as noted above, which were offset by the net effect of changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accounts receivable during the quarters. Also, there was a larger net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017 offset by more non-cash expenses during the quarter, as compared2018 increased to the same period in 2016. Cash used in investing activities increased during the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $795,468, as compared to $72,265$1,472,519 from $1,291,060 during the same period in 2016, due2017, an increase of $181,459. Sigma’s higher net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2018 contributed $429,006 to this increase while more conservative management of inventory and payables offset $87,686 and $162,065 of that increased use, respectively.

Net Cash Used/Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $530,082, which compares to cash used in investing activities during the same period of 2017 totaling $795,468. The $1,325,550 positive swing is attributable primarily to the increaseMarch 2018 receipt of payment in notes receivables related to our loansfull of the $500,000 loan made to Morf3D in March of 2017, and receipt of $150,000 in partial payment of the $250,000 loan made to Jaguar Precision MachineMachines in conjunction with our strategic alliances.May of 2017.

Net Cash flowsUsed/Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased2018 decreased to $5,225,649$2,946,400 from $0$5,072,636 during the same period in 20162017, due to the receipt of a total of $3,390,100 of proceeds less $443,700 of offering costs from our April 2018 private placement and June 2018 public offering compared to the receipt of $5,823,300 of proceeds less $750,664 of offering costs, from our February 2017 public offering. There were no cash flows used or provided by financing activities in 2016.

 

SomeThe Company anticipates less loss in 2018, due to expected increased revenues, offset by increased salaries and related expenses in connection with additional employees and potential acquisitions (although there are no agreements with respect to the acquisition by the Company of our engineering consulting contracts, including the contracts from Honeywell Aerospace, Bendix King, Siemens, EOS, Solar Turbines, Pratt & Whitneyany third party, and Aerojet Rocketdyne, are fixed-price contracts, for which wethere can be no assurance that any agreements will be entitled to receive a specified fee regardless of our cost to perform under such contract. In connection with enteringentered 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.entered into, that any acquisition or other transaction will be consummated).

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. no credit lines as of August 13, 2018, nor have we ever had a credit line since our inception.

Based on the funds we have as of August 14, 2017,13, 2018, 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, ourat least the first quarter of 2019. 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, possible 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 andwe 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 obtainperhaps by obtaining 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 operationsfunding. 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.
