SIGMA LABS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2021MARCH 31, 2022

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business - Sigma-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. 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,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 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 principlesGAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 20202021 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 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. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported results.

7

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments for hedging of market risk or for trading or speculative purposes. On March 26, 2021, the Company closed an offering in which it issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,190,000 shares of common stock in a private placement concurrently with a registered direct offering (“Registered Offering”) of our common stock The warrants became exercisable on May 24, 2021, the date the Company obtained stockholder approval to increase its authorized common shares from 12,000,000 to 24,000,000 (“the Initial Exercise Date”) and will expire two years after the Initial Exercise Date.initial exercise date.

 

Pursuant to ASC 815-40-25-10, because the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock available to settle the warrants at the issue date, such warrants were accounted for as a derivative liability. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $802,285 due to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as measured on a recurring basis. On May 24, 2021, upon receiving shareholder approval to increase its authorized common shares, the Company reclassified the warrant liability to equity pursuant to ASC 815.40.35.8.

The fair value of the warrant liability measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

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 CompaniesCompany’s outstanding warrants, options and preferred shares were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Company had the following common shares underlying these instruments:

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United StatesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts and inventory obsolescence.

NOTE 4 - Derivative Liability

 

On March 26, 2021 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,190,000 shares of common stock to holders in a private placement concurrently with a registered direct offering of 2,190,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants entitle the holders to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $4.32 per share commencing on May 24, 2021 and will expire two years from such date. The Company has determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the registered direct offering. Management also determined that on the Issuance Date, the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the warrants, and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging”. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants were recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and were measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations.

At a Special Stockholders Meeting held on May 24, 2021, the Company received approval to increase its authorized common shares from 12,000,000 to 24,000,000. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-35-8, the Company reclassified the warrant liability to equity as of such date.

The fair value of the derivative liability presented below was measured using the Black Scholes valuation model. Significant inputs into the model for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Schedule of Fair Value of Derivative Liability Using Black Scholes Valuation Model

September 30, 2021
Dividend yield0.00%
Risk-free interest rate0.6% - 0.7%
Expected volatility121.2 % - 124.0%
Expected life (in years)2

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

Schedule of Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability Warrants Outstanding  Fair Value Per Share  Fair Value 
Fair Value at initial measurement date of March 26, 2021  2,190,000  $2.61  $5,708,212 
(Gain) on change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability  -  $-   (1,092,441)
Fair Value as of May 24, 2021  2,190,000  $2.11   4,615,771 
Extinguishment of Derivative Liability  (2,190,000) $2.11   (4,615,771)
Fair Value as of September 30, 2021  -  $-   - 

The Company has presented the fair value measurement as a Level 3 measurement, relying on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions. Level 3 measurements, which are not based on quoted prices in active markets, introduce a higher degree of subjectivity and may be more sensitive to fluctuations in stock prices, volatility rates and U.S. Treasury Bond rates and could have a material impact on future fair value measurements.

The Company uses the Black Scholes model, based on the adjusted historical volatility rates for fair value measurements through the date of stockholder approval (i.e., May 24, 2021). Management has determined the Black Scholes model to be the most reliable and least volatile determinate of the current fair value of the warrants. It is the Company’s expectation to maximize on all observable market inputs for the warrants and calibrate the model to incorporate relevant observable market data into the fair value measurement at each future measurement date, if applicable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $1,092,441 on the change in fair value of the warrants.

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

On June 23, 2020, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted the Sigma Labs, Inc. 2020 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the “Plan”). The purposes of the Plan are to: (i) enable the Company to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants, and directors (collectively, “Service Providers”) who will contribute to the Company’s long rangelong-range success; (ii) provide incentives that align the interests of Service Providers with those of the shareholders of the Company; and (iii) promote the success of the Company’s business. The Plan provides for incentive awards that are only made in the form of stock appreciation rights payable in cash (“SARs”). No and no shares of common stock wereare reserved in connection with the adoption of the Plan since no shares will be issued pursuant to the Plan.

 

SARs may be granted to any Service Provider. A SAR is the right to receive an amount equal to the Spread with respect to a share of the Company’s common stock (“Share”) upon the exercise of the SAR. The “Spread” is the difference between the exercise price per share specified in a SAR agreement on the date of grant and the fair market value per share on the date of exercise of the SAR. The exercise price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The administrator of the Plan will have the authority to, among other things, prescribe the terms and conditions of each SAR, including, without limitation, the exercise price and medium of payment and vesting provisions, and to specify the provisions of the SAR Agreement relating to such grant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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 amountsassets, liabilities, sales and expenses 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 significantBy their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect our financial position or results of operations. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are revenue recognition, 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. Such critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Report. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

The critical accounting policies and estimates addressed below reflect our most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from sales of our software and related hardware suite and from providing engineering services under contracts. Generally, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Significant estimates and judgements for determining revenue recognition include: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received.

Inventory Valuation - Inventories consist of raw materials used in the production of customized parts, work-in-process and finished goods components which will be sold to customers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Charges for obsolete inventory are based on specific identification of inventory items resulting from regular, on ongoing reviews of our build of materials.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets – Long-lived assets and certain identifiable definite life intangibles to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company continuously evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such long-lived assets and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. Utility patents are amortized over a 17-year period. Patents which are pending are not amortized.

Stock Based Compensation – We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements may include stock options, grants of shares of common stock with and without restrictions, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans. Compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at its fair value.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the grant date fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date is either (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the non-employee performance requirement is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.

The grant date fair value of stock based and other equity instruments is calculated using the Black Scholes valuation model, and requires estimates of several inputs to the model, including risk-free interest rates, dividends, and expected volatility of our stock price.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020

We generate revenues through licensing our PrintRite3D® hardware and software edge computing platformlicensing 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 additive manufacturing, or AM. 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 whether key prospective customers continue to move from AM metal prototyping to production.

In January 2022, we announced the foundational elements of a three-year plan that we believe will increase the Company’s ability to achieve its mission of setting the quality standard for additive manufacturing. The combined strategies are geared at making our technology more consumable in terms of ease of use and cost by end users, both for initial purchases and expansion opportunities, making it easier for original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) to embed our technology and generate attractive revenue streams for the OEM, and finally increasing the Company’s gross margins by moving towards a software-only solution.

To lower the barrier for initial users and for expansion opportunities within end users with a large number of printers, we began offering our current PrintRite3D integrated hardware and software solution on a subscription basis. The impact of the change will currently reduce the initial upfront cost to a new user from over $100,000 to approximately $3,000-$4,000 per month. In addition, we believe the subscription model will smooth out the Company’s revenue and cash receipts while making them more predictable.

In order to expand the number of OEMs distributing our technology, we launched a three-tiered OEM program directed to: (1) new OEMs without their own quality assurance or monitoring solution; (2) established OEMs with a quality monitoring offering, but who have customers with multiple printers from multiple OEMs and want a single 3rd party quality and analytics solution with consistent quality metrics across printers, processes and materials; and (3) OEMs building open APIs to integrate components of Sigma’s proprietary technology with their current offerings. We are now working with OEMs on their next generation printers to offer a software-only solution that will utilize the printer’s computing infrastructure and dramatically reduce the overall cost of its technology, enabling the opportunity to move towards a software only embedded solution on every printer sold by partner OEMs.

The combination of subscription pricing and the software-only embedded OEM offerings are intended to make our technology more affordable to acquire and easier for OEM’s to bundle, distribute and support in an effort to become the industry standard.

The shift in our business model has had an impact on our near-term revenue growth as we increase our focus on building strategic partnerships, expanding our partner ecosystem, and ensuring the success of our existing customers as they move into production. However, we believe these changes will contribute to faster adoption of our product by end users and will result in more predictable and profitable revenues over the longer term.

Our cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $409,493 compared to $400,172 during the same period in 2020. The increase of $9,321 is primarily due to the cost associated with our increase in PrintRite3D® unit sales, partially offset by a decrease in certain material parts, as well as a decrease in the ongoing support of legacy RTE programs, including equipment upgrades and additional labor costs.

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $893,032, or 68.6% of revenues, as compared to $237,772, or 37.3% of revenues for the same period in 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $76,502, compared to $86,150 for the same period in 2020. The primary reason for the decrease is due to a nine month catch up adjustment in 2020 from the reclassification of a prototype PrintRite3D system from finished goods inventory to fixed assets.

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $267,663, as compared to $194,836 during the same period in 2020. The increase of $72,827 is primarily due to increased insurance premiums.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net other income & expense was net income of $1,096,727, as compared to net income of $499,700 during the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily a result of a gain of $1,092,441 on the revaluation of the derivative liability incurred in connection with the issuance of warrants to purchase common stock in our March 2021 offering, and $9,095 from a new interest-bearing sweep bank account, as compared to 2020 New Mexico state job incentive credits of $151,657 and $361,700 from the forgiveness of our PPP loan.

Sigma’s net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $5,076,532 as compared to $5,455,707 for the same period in 2020, a $379,175 decrease. While the net operating loss increased by $1,872,976, the increase of $597,027 in other income together with a decrease in preferred dividend expense of $1,655,124 accounted for the overall decrease.

We financed our operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 primarily from revenue generated from PrintRite3D® system sales and engineering consulting services we provided to third parties during these periods and through sales of our common and preferred stock. We expect that our revenue will increase in future periods as we seek to further commercialize and expand our market presence for our PrintRite3D®-related technologies.$46,688.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $13,064,394$9,277,929 in cash and working capital of $13,977,104,$9,588,858, as compared with $3,700,814$11,447,047 in cash and working capital of $4,332,053$11,702,358 as of December 31, 2020.2021.

 

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.

 

In January 2021, the Company closed a public offering of its securities in which it issued 1,711,783 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $4,532,445 after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

InOn March 26, 2021, the Company closed a public offering of its securities in which it issued 2,190,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.445 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,736,487 after deducting placement agent commissions and other offering costs payable by the Company. Concurrent withPursuant to the public offering,Purchase Agreement, the purchasers severally agreed to vote the shares of common stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement in favor of any resolution presented to the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of obtaining approval of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 12,000,000 to 24,000,000 shares (“Stockholder Approval”). In a concurrent private placement under the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to investorsthe purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,190,000 shares of common stock to holders in a private placement. The warrants entitle the holders to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal toof $4.32 per share commencingshare. Each warrant became exercisable on May 24, 2021, which was the date the Company obtained Stockholder Approval, and will expire two years from suchafter the initial exercise date. If all

We believe that our existing cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements through 2022.at least the first quarter of 2023. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, such as our current expectations of revenue generation and burn rate, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect.

18

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the research, development, and commercialization of our products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

 Revenue from the sales of our existing and future products;
Costs associated with the expansion of our business and operations;
The cost of expending, maintaining, and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio, including filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and
 The effect of competing technological and market developments;developments.
The revenue from the sales of our existing and future products;
The cost of operating as a public company; and
The increasing cost of engineering talent.

 

During the remainder of 2021 and throughout 2022, we expect to sustain our operations and our commercialization and marketing efforts with our cash reserves and revenues generated from sales of our PrintRite3D® technology. We expect that continued enhancements of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technology including the May 2021 release of version 7.0, will enable us to further commercialize this technology into the AM metal market in 2021.2022. To support the commercialization of our PrintRite3D® technology, 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).

 

AsThe worldwide COVID-19 pandemic caused a reduction, and in some cases a freeze, in capital spending within the third quarterCompany’s targeted industries. The future impact of 2021 progressed, the effectongoing epidemic, including the emergence of COVID-19 onvariations of the virus, is highly uncertain so that no assurance can be given that our business and results of operations will not be materially and adversely affected. It is also uncertain as to any further disruption of the financial markets, which may reduce our ability to generate revenue, seemed to lessen; however, the Company continued to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 global economic slowdown, which has resulted in lower revenue than anticipated. Two key industries with which we do business, aerospace and oil and gas, have experienced a reduction in the global demand for their products due to the pandemic. As a result of the decrease in the demand for our products from customers and potential customers in these and other industries, the Company expects that revenue from these sectors will remain under pressure. It is impossible to knowaccess capital on favorable terms or at this time how long companies will limit capital expenditures and if the industries that have been most negatively affected will resume normal purchasing. Additionally, access to customer and prospect installations due to country specific regulations regarding COVID-19 quarantining has consumed resources for longer periods of time than expected, resulting in overall lower productivity and increased expenses. all.

However, due to the need to have more flexibility in supply chains with the ability to respond quickly to shortages in parts or products, we believe that the crisis will eventually accelerate the adoption of 3D printing, which would be a positive trend formay benefit the Company.
