SIGMA LABS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 20182019
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business -Sigma Labs, Inc., formerly named Framewaves, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was founded by a group of scientists, engineers and businessmen to develop and commercialize novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. Sigma 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim reporting.America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 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, 20172018 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 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 and $35,680 reported as revenue in the first nine months of 2017 has been reclassified to deferred revenue.
Continuing Operations - The Company has sustained losses and had negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. In 2017 and the first nine 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 third 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 proof of concept contracts may be closed in the last quarter 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 ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying the Company’s outstanding warrants, options or note conversion features were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At September 30, 2019 the Company had 3,620,610 warrants, 1,251,030 stock options and a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments is 4,896,640. At September 30, 2018 the Company had 250 Convertibleconvertible preferred stock shares, 3,228,500 warrants, 697,207 stock options and a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments is 4,200,707. At September 30, 2017 the Company had 1,701,500 warrants, 279,938 stock options and $1,000,000 in Convertible Notes Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments was 2,481,438.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - The FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”)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”).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. 2018-18 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) and the related ASU 2018-18 (Topic 808), 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,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Topic 606 supersedes2016-02, “Leases” which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (Topic 605),balance sheet 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 comparativedisclosing key 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.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which, among other things, provides guidance on how to assess whether certain collaborative arrangement transactions should be accounted for under Topic 606.about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact thehas evaluated this standard and determined that it will have on itsnot currently require any adjustment to Sigma’s financial statements.reporting.
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.

Recent2019 RTE Developments
Sigma entered 2019 six weeks after releasing the commercial industrial model of its technology, PrintRite3D® 4.0, wrapped in a strategy called the Rapid Test and Evaluation Program (“RTE”) to take the product to market. The RTE is a ‘drive before you buy’ approach that is aimed only at companies that meet four criteria: (1) the company must be a large recognized brand; (2) the company must be either an end-user manufacturing or buying Additive Manufacturing (AM) metal parts requiring the capacity of 20 or more AM metal machines, or the target company must be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) with a well-recognized brand and a significant AM metal manufacturing growth initiative in process; (3) the company must have substantial concern about the quality yields and risks of its AM metal production; and (4) the company must be willing to stipulate what PrintRite3D® 4.0 would have to prove in order to meet the company’s quality improvement and sustainability goals. Sigma Labs asserted that the way to measure RTEs in 2019 would be the number and quality of the companies that contracted with Sigma in the program, rather than the immediate revenue from the program, because ‘drive before you buy’ causes revenue to be back-end loaded.
In the coursefirst quarter of 2019, Sigma determined what would become a norm in the RTE requirement for the target companies: they would install PrintRite3D® on one of their laser powderbed AM machines and if the results were confirmed by a third party laboratory to meet their written quality needs, they would then ask Sigma to install a Phase 2 on one or two additional machines of different manufacturers than the first in order to determine if PrintRite3D® works equally effectively on multiple OEM brands, as well as multiple machines of the same brand, and finally on multiple laser machines as well. This unexpected customer enhancement to the scope of the RTE program raised the revenue potential that ultimately may be derived from the conversion of a single unit test run into a permanent license sale from a single unit followed by 2 or 3 (simultaneously) in Phase 2. This potential expansion of RTE scope commensurately increased the duration of some RTEs due to the serial nature of testing first on one machine, followed by a Phase 2 validation on multiple machines. There is a perceptible customer learning curve factor on RTEs, and we expect Phase 2 testing to benefit from this Phase 1 learning curve and be much more rapid than Phase 1 tests.
Through the end of the third quarter, the RTE results are favorable. A leading global energy technology company for whom on-site testing began in April 2019, has ordered a Phase 2 and as stated in our November 13, 2019 press release, this is the final phase ahead of 2018,a potentially broader global rollout of the technology to their additive manufacturing machine base. The major service provider, with whom on-site testing began in March 2019, has also now begun its second RTE to start on a different OEM brand from the first RTE tests. The major OEM whose purchase order for an RTE we announced in August 2019 has only its own brand and has agreed to complete two simultaneous test units on different models and is thus on a fast track. Airbus is developing on schedule and expects to require a Phase 2 if and after the current RTE meets their needs. Materialise, a diverse AM company and an OEM for AM control systems and software, was a Sigma accomplished important internalalpha test of the RTE program and with whom we announced in June 2019 that Sigma had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to integrate PrintRite3D® with Materialise’s new MPC AM equipment control system. As noted below, we recently announced that Materialise has invited Sigma’s Chief Technology Officer to deliver two lectures in November 2019 in Materialise’s booth at FormNext on “Integration of PrintRite3D Melt Pool Monitoring Software with Materialise’s MPC Machine Control System for Advanced Process Control.”
Additionally, commencing in June 2019, Sigma opened a third channel to market. With the release of PrintRite3D® 5.0, Sigma brought a user-friendly version of its product development milestonesto market that led tono longer requires substantial onsite customer support from Sigma. Therefore, the Company announcingcommenced calling on October 25, 2018 the rollout ofresearch tanks, universities, and small users to open a combination of new products at the Formnext additive manufacturing (AM) trade show in Frankfurt, Germany the week of November 12, 2018. Sigma believes that that combination of advanced new hardware and Sigma’s new PrintRite3D® Version 4.0 software completes the evolution of Sigma’s PrintRite3D® technology from its well-stressed and tested roots in research and development, into a compact and hardened commercial-industrial product that is deployable into demanding serial production settings.
Our competition is delivering In-Process-Quality-“Monitoring” tools that we believe generally deliver un-analyzed data to their customers to utilize as they see fit. Sigma is commercializing its PrintRite3D® hardware and software package that emerged from the third quarter of 2018 and is emphasizing to prospective customers Sigma’s dedication to delivering a product which provides In-Process-Quality-“Assurance” that gathers and analyzes in-process manufacturing data and delivers actionable conclusions that improve quality. We believe that such a product is made possible because of both: (1) PrintRite3D®’s ability to detect and notify users of process and machine discontinuities that require adjustments of the computers’ lasers in order to reduce AM machine-induced quality deficiencies, and (2) PrintRite3D®’s ability, in real-time in-process manufacturing runs, to detect a growing library of randomly recurring quality deficiencies, identify the signature traits of these deficiencies, and provide warnings and options to operators to adjust input and machine control parameters to mitigate those deficiencies early enough in their development to avoid rejection of the part.
On May 30, 2018, Sigma announced its successful demonstration of proof of concept of closed-loop feedback control. As a result of Sigma’s root cause analyses of various AM quality discrepancies, we have come to believe that the future of AM manufacturing machines is that the machines must and will be “self-driving”, i.e., controlled by a closed loop control system that adjusts and directs AM machine operating controls to maintain the optimum standard of melt pool qualities for the part designs and metals in question. We believe that the hardware and software package of our PrintRite3D® Version 4 is a significant advancement in the realization of this vison of the future.
Concurrent with the above-mentioned product development milestones that were realized in the third quarter, Sigma has been testing a new proof of concept sales program that was made possible and practicable by the attainment of such product development milestones. Beta test results have demonstrated that Sigma can now install and commence manufacturing test-runs on many AM machines in a 24-hour period and that a proof of concept and value analysis can be accomplished in a matter of weeks subject to how promptly customers and third-party laboratories commit resources and deliver their feedback on the results.‘retail’ channel.
Other Recent Developments

On July 1, 2019, we appointed experienced financial executive and proven business leader Frank Orzechowski as our sensor arrays will determine and communicate the quality of manufactured parts in real time to the end-user.Chief Financial Officer.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Results of Operations
We expect to generate revenue primarily by selling and licensing our IPQA technologies, selling technical support services, and contract manufacturing and selling specialty parts and studies to businesses that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes and 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, and it will depend on ifwhether key prospective customers continue to move from AM metal prototyping to production.
Three Months Ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017September 30, 2018
In the third quarter of 2018, we recognized revenue of $128,593 compared to $78,046 during the same period of 2017, an increase of $50,547. A revenue decrease of $37,903 from government programs between the two quarters was offset by a $69,000 increase in commercial sales and $22,472 in contract AM service revenue in the third quarter of 2018 compared to no such sales in the third quarter of 2017. Our cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $56,309 as compared to $81,214 during the same period of 2017. The decrease of $24,905 was primarily due to the non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of our Early Adopter Program and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Partner Program in the third quarter of 2017.
Sigma’s total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $1,401,087 compared to $1,095,206 for the same period of 2017, a $305,881 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 third quarter of 2018 were $524,508 compared to $335,495 for the same period in 2017. The $189,013 increase resulted primarily from the strategic addition of six employees since the third quarter of 2017, three in the third quarter of 2017 and three in the second quarter of 2018, as we continue the concentrated acceleration of technology development and our expansion into the European 3D manufacturing market. Stock-based compensation for the third quarter of 2018 was $198,578 compared to $199,225 for the same period in 2017.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized revenue of $171,003 as compared to $128,593 in revenue recognized during the same period in 2018, Sigma incurred researchan increase of $42,410. The increase is attributable to the commercial sale of a PrintRite3D® unit in the third quarter, partially offset by the absence of any government program work in 2019, as well as a decline in AM revenue due to the dedication of our printer to internal R&D as we continued development of our PrintRite3D® product.
Our cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $178,760 and $56,309, respectively, an increase of $122,451. The increase is primarily attributable to the sale of a PrintRite3D® unit, a write-off of obsolete inventory of $9,360, expensing of small, low cost inventory items totaling $16,029, and the remainder due to the additional travel and labor costs associated with the on-site and remote collaboration involved in the growth of the Company’s Rapid Test and Evaluation program.
Sigma’s total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,600,914 as compared to $1,401,087 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $199,827.
The most significant of our operating costs are personnel costs, comprised of payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense. Together these costs totaled 50% of our operating expenses for the third quarter. Salary and benefits costs were $644,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $524,508 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $120,292. This 23% cost increase correlates to a net increase of five full-time equivalent employees between the two periods which is a 31% increase in employee count.
Stock-based compensation was $154,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $198,578 for the same period in 2018, a $44,376, or 22%, decrease, primarily due to 2018 third quarter vesting of options granted to our former CEO in connection with his amended employment agreement.
Research and development expenditures of $139,090$212,230 were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $68,543$139,090 in the same period of 2017.2018, a 53% increase. The $70,547 increase in these expenditures resulted primarily results from an increase in softwarethe purchase of upgraded PrintRite3D® components and algorithm consultant costs and an increase in purchasesvarious pieces of component parts, upgraded servers and specialized equipment directly related to the developmentas part of our PrintRite3D® 4.0 product suite that is being launched at the Formnext AM trade fair the weekcontinued acceleration of November 12, 2018.technology development.
Sigma’s publicPublic company costs and investor relation fees incurred in the third quarter of 20182019 were $142,821$194,130, compared to $118,586$142,821 incurred during the same period in 2017.2018, primarily due to increased costs associated with our 2019 annual shareholders’ meeting of $14,080, common shares issued as additional fees to our new investor relations firm totaling $17,110, and increased expenses related to website enhancements of $12,024.
DuringOutside professional services fees incurred in the third quarterthree months ended September 30, 2019 were $116,221 compared to $185,676 incurred during the same period in 2018, a 37% decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower utilization of outside legal counsel and outside recruiters, and expenses incurred in 2018 Sigma’sfor European CE certification for our PrintRite3D®units.
Office expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $186,430 compared to $131,629 incurred during the same period in 2018, an increase of $54,801, or 42%. The increase is primarily due to amortization of costs related to our membership in the UK’s National Center for Additive Manufacturing (“NCAM”) of $39,000 and other miscellaneous office expenses were $131,629of $14,740.
Sigma’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $1,600,794 as compared to $78,044 in$1,320,825 for the same period of 2017.2018, a $279,969 increase. The $53,585 increasereduction in these expenditures resulted primarily from additional office rent and related expenses to accommodate our new employee hires and from additional travel expense related to both our more aggressive outreach to prospective OEM and service bureau clients and our expansion into the European market in 2018.
In the third quarter of 2018, our net other income & expense was net income of $7,978 compared to net other expense of $18,536 in the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter 2018 net income was comprised of $9,862 of interest income on the remaining note receivable balance offset by interest expense on the remaining $50,000 balance of our note payable.
Sigma’s total net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $1,320,825 as compared to $1,116,910 for the third quarter of 2017, a $203,915 increase with operating income contributing $230,429gross profit contributed $80,041 to the increased loss, andwhile increased other income and expense offsetting it by $26,514.operating expenses contributed $199,827 to the increased loss.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.procedures and changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, and our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Not applicable.
Not applicable.You should consider the “Risk Factors” included under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. Except for the below, there have been no material changes to those Risk Factors.
There is no assurance that we will satisfy or regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy or regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. For example, there is no assurance that our common stock will have a bid price of at least $1.00 per share, which is the minimum bid price under such continued listing requirements, or that we will be able to satisfy other quantitative continued listing requirements, including the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On April 8, 2019, Nasdaq notified us that we did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). In our Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2019, we disclosed that we had regained compliance with such rule as a result of our August 2019 underwritten public offering. On October 8, 2019, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that, as a result of such offering, Nasdaq determined that we were in compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), but that if we do not demonstrate continued compliance with such rule as of December 31, 2019, the Company’s common stock may be subject to delisting. The Company is evaluating various courses of action to demonstrate compliance. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to demonstrate compliance. If we do not demonstrate compliance, and there is no assurance that Nasdaq would accept a plan to regain compliance, Nasdaq could provide notice that our common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit us to appeal the decision to reject our proposed compliance plan, if applicable, or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. If our securities are de-listed from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our stockholders could incur material adverse consequences such as reduced liquidity for their securities and reduced market prices for their securities. Following such de-listing, we could encounter increased difficulty in issuing additional securities at an attractive price, or at all, in order to fund our operations.
Additionally, as previously disclosed, on September 12, 2019, we received notice from Nasdaq that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company therefore is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice indicates that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until March 10, 2020, to regain compliance with this requirement. We can regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement if the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of its publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, except the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, we expect that Nasdaq will grant the Company the additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will notify us that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Not applicable.On August 15, 2019, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock to MHZCI, LLC, an investor relations firm engaged by the Company, as partial compensation for services to be rendered. The foregoing securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
