Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans
|
Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“We or the Company") are focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming and, in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely-used laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels i.e., 35,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”) or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.
Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and our internally developed consumables product line, which include our Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of June 30, 2013, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, including equity and debt financing completed subsequent to June 30, 2013, we believe our current cash resources will enable us to extend our cash resources to fund normal operations until the end of September 2013. Please see Note 6, Subsequent Events.
Management has developed a plan to continue operations. This plan includes further reductions in expenses and obtaining equity or debt financing including our most recently completed financing on February 6, 2013, March 28, 2013 and May 20, 2013, in which we sold units consisting of shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of approximately $921,000 in three tranches of $590,000, $156,000 and $175,000, respectively; and the conversion of $1,113,700 in principal and accrued interest from convertible promissory notes and other fees. The Company incurred $24,405 in legal costs in conjunction with this financing. We also signed agreements to borrow $275,000, $100,000 and $500,000 from three lenders on April 11, 2013, May 24, 2013 and June 6, 2013, respectively. Through August 1, 2013, we have received $192,500, $100,000, and $250,000 under these agreements. There is no guaranty that the Company will receive the amounts remaining under these agreements. We also received $160,000 in a one year note from an existing shareholder on August 8, 2013. Terms of the note included 18% annual interest, one three year warrant to acquire 160,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share, and a right to convert the note into the next equity financing. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.
We need substantial additional capital to fund normal operations in periods beyond the end of September 2013. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pressure BioSciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary PBI BioSeq, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
To prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we are required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates were made in projecting future cash flows to quantify deferred tax assets, the costs associated with fulfilling our warranty obligations for the instruments that we sell, and the estimates employed in our calculation of fair value of stock options awarded and warrant derivative liability. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when realized or earned when all the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed to the customer; the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
Our current instruments, the Barocycler NEP3229 and NEP2320, require a basic level of instrumentation expertise to set-up for initial operation. To support a favorable first experience for our customers, we send a highly trained technical representative to the customer site to install every Barocycler that we sell or lease domestically. The installation process includes uncrating and setting up the instrument, followed by introductory user training. Product revenue related to current Barocycler instrumentation is recognized upon the completion of the installation and introductory training process of the Barocycler NEP3229 and NEP2320 instrumentation at the customer location, for domestic installations. Product revenue related to sales of PCT instrumentation to our foreign distributors and overseas customers, to our domestic distributors, and to our new Barocycler HUB440 instrument is recognized upon shipment through a common carrier unless installation is specifically requested by the customer. We provide for the expected costs of warranty upon the recognition of revenue for the sales of our instrumentation. Our sales arrangements do not provide our customers with a right of return. Product revenue related to the HUB440 and our consumable products such as PULSE Tubes, MicroTubes, and application specific kits is recorded upon shipment through a common carrier. Shipping costs are included in sales and marketing expense. Any shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.
In accordance with FASB ASC 840, Leases, we account for our lease agreements under the operating method. We record revenue over the life of the lease term and we record depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the thirty-six month estimated useful life of the Barocycler instrument. The depreciation expense associated with assets under lease agreement is included in the “Cost of PCT products and services” line item in our consolidated statements of operations. Many of our lease and rental agreements allow the lessee to purchase the instrument at any point during the term of the agreement with partial or full credit for payments previously made. We pay all maintenance costs associated with the instrument during the term of the leases.
Revenue from government grants is recorded when expenses are incurred under the grant in accordance with the terms of the grant award.
Our transactions sometimes involve multiple elements (i.e., products and services). Revenue under multiple element arrangements is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25 Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605”). When vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of selling price for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, the Company develops a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocates arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, this guidance eliminates the residual method of allocation. If an arrangement includes undelivered elements that are not essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, we defer the fair value of the undelivered elements based on the estimated selling price of the total arrangement. Fair value is determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. If there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, no revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and the total consideration received is deferred until delivery of those elements for which objective and reliable evidence of the fair value is not available. We provide certain customers with extended service contracts with revenue recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our policy is to invest available cash in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing obligations, including money market funds, and bank and corporate debt instruments. Securities purchased with initial maturities of three months or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair market value, and are classified as cash equivalents.
Research and Development
Research and development costs, which are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities including wages and associated employee benefits, facilities, consumable products and overhead costs that are expensed as incurred. In support of our research and development activities we utilize our Barocycler instruments that are capitalized as fixed assets and depreciated over their expected useful life.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or market (sales price). The cost of Barocycler instruments consists of the cost charged by the contract manufacturer. The cost of manufactured goods includes material, freight-in, direct labor, and applicable overhead. The composition of inventory as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method, allocating the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives of three years for certain laboratory equipment, from three to five years for management information systems and office equipment, and three years for all PCT finished units classified as fixed assets. Property and equipment includes net book value of $6,038 relating to Barocycler instruments held under lease or collaboration.
Intangible Assets
We have classified as intangible assets, costs associated with the fair value of acquired intellectual property. Intangible assets including patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over sixteen years. The Company’s intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. When impairment is indicated, any excess of carrying value over fair value is recorded as a loss. As of the date of this report’s filing, no event has come to our attention that would cause us to record an impairment of intangible assets.
Long-Lived Assets and Deferred Costs
The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Through the date of this report’s filing, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.

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

Product Supply
Source Scientific, LLC has been our sole contract manufacturer for our PCT NEP3229 and NEP2320 instrumentation. Until we develop a network of manufacturers and subcontractors, obtaining alternative sources of supply or manufacturing services could involve significant delays and other costs and challenges, and may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all. The failure of a supplier or contract manufacturer to provide sufficient quantities, acceptable quality and timely products at an acceptable price, or an interruption of supplies from such a supplier could harm our business and prospects.
Computation of Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, common stock dividends, and warrants and options to acquire common stock, are all considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to our net loss.

Accounting for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowances, and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. If substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, there could be sufficient limitations on the amount of net loss carry forwards that could be used to offset future taxable income.
PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Warrant Derivative Liability
The warrants issued in connection with the registered direct offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Warrants”) are measured at fair value and liability-classified because the Series D Warrants contain “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). Since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the warrants, the warrants cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the binomial model, resulting in an allocation of the gross proceeds of $283,725 to the warrants issued in the Series D registered direct offering. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. We will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The down-round protection for the Series D Warrants survives for the life of the Series D Warrants which ends in May 2017.
Conversion Option Liability
The Company signed three convertible notes and has determined that conversion options are embedded in the notes and it is required to bifurcate the conversion option from the host contract under ASC 815 and account for the derivatives at fair value. The estimated fair value of the conversion options was determined using the binomial model. The fair value of the conversion options will be classified as a liability until the debt is converted by the note holders or paid back by the Company. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. We will continue to classify the fair value of the conversion options as a liability until the conversion options are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these conversion options to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The Company has adopted a sequencing policy that reclassifies contracts (from equity to assets or liabilities) with the most recent inception date first. Thus any available shares are allocated first to contracts with the most recent inception dates.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We maintain equity compensation plans under which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options are granted to employees, independent members of our Board of Directors and outside consultants. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant.
Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants
Valuation and Amortization Method - The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on certain assumptions. The estimated fair value of employee stock options is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, which is over four years for options granted in 2012 and 2013.
Expected Term - The Company uses the simplified calculation of expected life, as the Company does not currently have sufficient historical exercise data on which to base an estimate of expected term. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted.
Expected Volatility - Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock volatility data over the expected term of the award.
Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 5% for awards granted based on historical experience and future expectations of options vesting. The Company used this historical rate as our assumption in calculating future stock-based compensation expense.
We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8,977 and $11,222 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes the effect of this stock-based compensation expense within each of the line items of our costs and expenses within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. Long-term liabilities are primarily related to liabilities transferred under contractual arrangements with carrying values that approximate fair value.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) as it related to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.
The Company generally defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined that it does not have any financial assets measured at fair value and that its financial liabilities are currently all classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The development of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013.

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases
Our corporate offices are currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. In November 2007, we signed a lease agreement commencing in February 2008 pursuant to which we lease approximately 5,500 square feet of office space. We extended the lease term until December 31, 2013 with a monthly payment of $4,800.
Effective January 1, 2010, we entered into a three-year lease agreement with the University of Massachusetts in Boston, pursuant to which we are leasing laboratory and office space on campus at the university for research and development activities. This lease was amended to expire on December 31, 2014. We pay $5,500 per month for the use of these facilities.
Rental costs are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 we incurred $61,840 and $58,800, respectively, in rent expense for the use of our corporate office and research and development facilities.
Royalty Commitments
In 1996, we acquired our initial equity interest in BioSeq, Inc., which at the time was developing our original pressure cycling technology. BioSeq, Inc. acquired its pressure cycling technology from BioMolecular Assays, Inc. (“BMA”) under a technology transfer and patent assignment agreement. In 1998, we purchased all of the remaining outstanding capital stock of BioSeq, Inc., and at such time, the technology transfer and patent assignment agreement was amended to require us to pay BMA a 5% royalty on our sales of products or services that incorporate or utilize the original pressure cycling technology that BioSeq, Inc. acquired from BMA. We are also required to pay BMA 5% of the proceeds from any sale, transfer or license of all or any portion of the original pressure cycling technology. These payment obligations terminate in 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $7,343 and $11,672, respectively, in royalty expense associated with our obligation to BMA.
In connection with our acquisition of BioSeq, Inc., we licensed certain limited rights to the original pressure cycling technology back to BMA. This license is non-exclusive and limits the use of the original pressure cycling technology by BMA solely for molecular applications in scientific research and development and in scientific plant research and development. BMA is required to pay us a royalty equal to 20% of any license or other fees and royalties, but not including research support and similar payments, it receives in connection with any sale, assignment, license or other transfer of any rights granted to BMA under the license. BMA must pay us these royalties until the expiration of the patents held by BioSeq, Inc. in 1998, which we anticipate will be in 2016. We have not received any royalty payments from BMA under this license.
PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Battelle Memorial Institute
In December 2008, we entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with the Battelle Memorial Institute ("Battelle"). The licensed technology is described in the patent application filed by Battelle on July 31, 2008 (US serial number 12/183,219). This application includes subject matter related to a method and a system for improving the analysis of protein samples, including through an automated system utilizing pressure and a pre-selected agent to obtain a digested sample in a significantly shorter period of time than current methods, while maintaining the integrity of the sample throughout the preparatory process. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement we paid Battelle a non-refundable initial fee of $35,000. In addition to royalty payments on net sales on “licensed products”, we are obligated to make minimum royalty payments for each year that we retain the rights outlined in the patent license agreement and we are required to have our first commercial sale of the licensed products within one year following the issuance of the patent covered by the licensed technology. Our only obligation for 2012 was a minimum annual royalty payment of $10,000. Our minimum annual royalty payment for 2013 is $12,500.
Target Discovery Inc.
In March 2010, we signed a strategic product licensing, manufacturing, co-marketing, and collaborative research and development agreement with Target Discovery Inc. (“TDI”). TDI’s Chief Executive Officer is a board member of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, we have been licensed by TDI to manufacture and sell a highly innovative line of chemicals used in the preparation of tissues for scientific analysis ("TDI reagents"). The TDI reagents were designed for use in combination with our pressure cycling technology. The companies believe that the combination of PCT and the TDI reagents can fill an existing need in life science research for an automated method for rapid extraction and recovery of intact, functional proteins associated with cell membranes in tissue samples. In April 2012 we announced an expanded license agreement and collaboration with TDI with a first target goal to meet unmet needs in treatment guidance for ovarian cancer. We did not incur a royalty liability on sales through June 30, 2013.
Severance and Change of Control Agreements
Each of Mr. Schumacher, Dr. Ting, Dr. Lazarev, and Dr. Lawrence, executive officers of the Company, is entitled to receive a severance payment if terminated by us without cause. The severance benefits would include a payment in an amount equal to one year of such executive officer’s annualized base salary compensation plus accrued paid time off. Additionally, the officer will be entitled to receive medical and dental insurance coverage for one year following the date of termination.
Each of these executive officers, other than Mr. Schumacher, is entitled to receive a change of control payment in an amount equal to one year of such executive officer’s annualized base salary compensation, accrued paid time off, and medical and dental coverage, in the event of a change of control of the Company. In the case of Mr. Schumacher, this payment would be equal to two years of annualized base salary compensation, accrued paid time off, and two years of medical and dental coverage. The severance payment is meant to induce the executive to become an employee of the Company and to remain in the employ of the Company, in general, and particularly in the occurrence of a change in control.
Promissory Note
On November 4, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a former placement agent, pursuant to which the Company and the placement agent released each other of their respective obligations under a prior investment banking agreement. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued the placement agent a promissory note with an original principal amount of $150,000 and a maturity date of May 4, 2012. The promissory note was interest free until May 4, 2012. On November 15, 2012, $75,000 of principal and $16,125 of accrued and unpaid interest were converted into 18,225 shares of the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. The $75,000 principal balance remaining as of June 30, 2013 earns interest at a rate of 18% per year.
Convertible Debt
Loans in the aggregate amount of $155,000 were received from two individuals in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We accrued interest at a rate of 6% on the loans. These loans, along with $863,000 of other prior outstanding loans and unpaid interest, were converted to the Company’s Series J Convertible Preferred Shares in February 2013.
PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 11, 2013, we signed a promissory note in the amount of $275,000. The lender paid $125,000, net of $12,500 of original issue discount, upon closing of the note. The lender paid an additional $50,000, net of $5,000 original issue discount, on June 26, 2013. The balance of the Consideration shall be paid in the amounts and the dates as the lender chooses. The note and unpaid interest on the note are due and payable one year from the effective date of each payment. The lender has the right to convert all or part of the unpaid principal and interest into common stock at a conversion price of 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days prior to conversion after six months from the effective date of each closing. The Company has the right to repay the notes at any time within six months of the effective date of each closing. If the Company repays the note within 90 days of the effective date interest is 0%. If the note is not repaid within the 90 days a one time interest charge of 12% will be applied. The Company has reserved at least 6,000,000 shares of common stock for conversion under this note. The Company evaluated the terms of this note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability and therefore, bifurcated the conversion feature and account for it as a derivative liability. The derivative liability is measured at the end of each reporting period and the difference in fair value is recorded as other expense or income in the statement of operations.
The proceeds from the convertible debt issued on April 11, 2013, were allocated between the host debt instrument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in an allocation of $274,840 to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, the entire gross proceeds of $137,500 is offset by a debt discount of $137,500 which will be amortized to interest expense over the twelve month life of the debt. The additional $149,840 adjustment between the convertible option liability and the debt discount is charged to other expense.
The proceeds from the convertible debt issued on June 26, 2013, were allocated between the host debt instrument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula resulting in an allocation of $84,146 to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, the entire gross proceeds of $55,000 is offset by a debt discount of $55,000 which will be amortized to interest expense over the twelve month life of the debt. The additional $34,146 adjustment between the convertible option liability and the debt discount is charged to other expense.
So long as the note is outstanding, the Company shall notify the lender of the issuance of any security with a term more favorable to the holder, and the lender may at its option, include the terms as a part of the transaction documents.
The fair value of the conversion feature was $260,881 at June 30, 2013 and reflected in the conversion option liability line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On May 24, 2013, we signed a Convertible Redeemable Note. The lender paid $97,500, net of $2,500 in legal fees, on the closing date. The note does not bear interest. The $100,000 principal is due on May 24, 2015. At any time six months after the closing date, the lender at its option may convert part, or all, of the note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of 70% of the average weighted average price of the common stock for the 10 trading days preceding the conversion date. The Company shall have the right to redeem the note at 120% of the unpaid principal if paid within 90 days of the issuance day, 130% of the unpaid principal if repaid between 91 and 180 days following the issuance day and 150% at any time thereafter. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for conversion under this note. The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability and therefore, bifurcated the conversion feature and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The derivative liability is measured at the end of each reporting period and the difference in fair value is recorded as other expense or income in the statement of operations.
The proceeds from the convertible debt issued on May 24, 2013, were allocated between the host debt instument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in an allocation of $122,223 to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of the ASC 815-40, the entire gross proceeds of $100,000 is offset by a debt discount of $100,000 which will be amortized to interest expense over the twenty-four month life of the debt. The additional $24,723 adjustment between the convertible option liability and the debt discount is charged to other expense.
The fair value of the conversion feature was $124,559 at June 30, 2013 and reflected in the conversion option liability line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On June 6, 2013, we signed a convertible debenture in the amount of $500,000. The lender paid an initial payment of $213,000 net of a “finder’s fee” discount of $25,000 and $12,000 in legal fees, on the closing date. The lender has the right, anytime after six months from the issue date to convert any or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.40 per share subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings. The Company shall have the right to prepay the debenture for a payment of 120% of the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company is required to reserve at least 2.5 times the number of shares actually issuable upon full conversion of this debenture. The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and therefore bifurcated the conversion feature and account for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was accounted for as a note discount and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.
The proceeds from the convertible debt issued on June 6, 2013, were allocated between the host debt instrument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in an allocation of $158,715 to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, the gross proceeds of $250,000 is offset by a debt discount of $195,715 which will be amortized to interest expense over the twelve month life of the debt.
The fair value of the conversion feature was $112,061 at June 30, 2013 and reflected in the conversion option liability line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with our sale of the Series C Units in April and June of 2011, we agreed that, if we completed an equity financing within 12 months after the initial closing of the Series C Units (the “Next Financing”), then each purchaser of Series C Units would be entitled to exchange all, but not less than all, of his, her or its Series C Units for the equity securities issued in such equity financing (the “Next Financing Securities”); provided that the exchange of the purchaser’s Series C Units for the equity securities is permitted under NASDAQ rules and regulations then in effect. The number of Next Financing Securities into which a purchaser’s Series C Units could be exchanged was determined by dividing (a) the aggregate per unit purchase price at which the Series C Units being exchanged were issued, by (b) the price per Next Financing Security at which such securities were issued in the Next Financing.
PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 5, 2012 the holders of the Series C Units exchanged all of their Series C Units for the units we offered in our February 2012 private placement consisting of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (with a warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of common stock for each share of common stock purchased in the February 2012 private placement), resulting in an aggregate of 1,372,247 shares of common stock and the exchange of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 686,124 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.74 being issued to the holders of Series C Units. The prior warrants issued with Series C were cancelled and no longer qualified as warrant derivative liabilities. In April 2012, the Company issued 36,806 shares of common stock as the final payment of dividends to Series C holders for accrued dividends through April 3, 2012. A dividend of $22,322 that had remained outstanding to one shareholder at his request until it can be paid in common stock was settled in September 2012 by issuing 27,815 shares of common stock.
In connection with the Series C exchange, we calculated the fair value of the 686,124 warrants received, as described above, using a binomial model with the below assumptions.:

In connection with the Series C exchange, a total of 880,980 original common stock warrants with a remaining term of 2 years were amended to provide for a term of 5.3 years and a reduced price of $0.74. The value of the modified warrants increased from $132,665 to $318,209. We recorded $185,544 as the excess of fair value of the consideration given to the Series C holders into equity and treated as a deemed dividend.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
On November 11, 2011, we completed a registered direct offering, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 843 units for a purchase price of $1,000.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $843,000 (the “Series D Placement”). Each unit (“Series D Unit”) consisted of (i) one share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) convertible into 1,538.46 shares of our common stock, (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization, etc.) and (ii) one five-year warrant to purchase approximately 614 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.81, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrants (“Series D Warrant”). The Series D Warrants will be exercisable beginning on May 11, 2012 and until the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date.
We engaged an investment banker to assist with the Series D Placement. In connection with the Series D Placement, we paid the investment banker a fee of approximately $67,000.
The proceeds from the sale of each Series D Unit were allocated between the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series D Warrants based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the Series D Warrants was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in an allocation of the gross proceeds of $283,725 to the total warrants issued. The allocation of the gross proceeds to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was $559,275. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, an additional adjustment between Additional Paid in Capital and Accumulated Deficit of $530,140 was recorded to reflect an implicit non-cash dividend related to the allocation of proceeds between the stock and warrants issued. The $530,140 represents the value of the adjustment to additional paid in capital related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The value adjustment was calculated by subtracting the fair market value of the underlying common stock on November 10, 2011 issuable upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock from the fair market value of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as determined when the Company performed a fair market value allocation of the proceeds to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants. The warrants are recorded as a liability.
The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock, the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series J Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to payments made upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment of the Company’s debts and liabilities, and before any payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are first entitled to be paid $1,000 per share subject to adjustment for accrued but unpaid dividends.
PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We may not pay any dividends on shares of common stock unless we also pay dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in the same form and amount, on an as-if-converted basis, as dividends actually paid on shares of our common stock. Except for such dividends, no other dividends may be paid on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock (based upon a reset conversion price of $0.40 per share) at any time at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and similar recapitalization transactions (the “Series D Conversion Ratio”). Subject to certain exceptions, if the Company issues any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the conversion price of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents are issued. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Series D Conversion Ratio then in effect if, after six months from the closing of the Series D Placement, the common stock trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) at a price equal to at least 300% of the then effective Series D Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days with each trading day having a volume of at least $50,000. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.
In addition, in the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our shares of common stock are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, then following such event, the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had they converted the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
The holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), except that the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may vote separately as a class on any matters that would (i) amend our Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (iii) authorize or create any class of shares ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, or (iv) increase the number of authorized shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
If, within 12 months of the initial issuance of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, we issue any common stock, common stock equivalents, indebtedness or any combination thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to participate on a pro-rata basis in up to 50% of such Subsequent Financing.
Series D Warrants
The Series D Warrants originally had an exercise price equal to $0.81 per share of common stock. The number of Series D Warrants increased by 530,406 to a total of 1,047,875 and each Series D Warrant currently has an exercise price equal to $0.40 per share of common stock. These adjustments were made in connection with our April 2012 registered direct offering in accordance with the Series D Warrant. The Series D Warrants are exercisable beginning on the six month anniversary of the date of issuance and expire five years from the initial exercise date. The Series D Warrants permit the holder to conduct a “cashless exercise” at any time a registration statement, or the prospectus contained therein, is not available for the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrant, and under certain circumstances at the expiration of the Series D Warrants. The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations, as set forth in the Warrants. The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants are also subject to adjustment in the event that we issue any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the exercise price for the Series D Warrants then in effect. Upon any such issuance, subject to certain exceptions, the exercise price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents are issued and number of Series D Warrant shares issuable thereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment. Unless waived under certain circumstance by the holder of a Series D Warrant, such holder may not exercise the Series D Warrant if upon such exercise the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed certain thresholds. In the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our shares of common stock are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, then following such event, the holders of the Series D Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series D Warrants the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised the Series D Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
On April 9, 2012, we completed a registered direct offering with Ironridge Global IV Ltd. (“Ironridge”), pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 500 shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock to Ironridge for a purchase price of $1,000 per share or an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (“Series E Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series E Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 980 shares of our common stock. The Series E Preferred Stock was entitled to a yearly dividend at a rate of 10.5% per year, subject to a credit risk and make-whole adjustment, and was payable in cash or shares of common stock at our election. Under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations, we could have required Ironridge to convert their Series E Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock. In connection with this registered direct offering, our investment banker received a fee of $40,000. The make-whole dividends were payable any time after the closing on April 9, 2012 at the option of the holder; therefore, we recognized the full value of $262,500 as a current liability and charged this amount immediately to accumulated deficit. Ironridge converted all 500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock into 490,196 common shares in 2012.
The Series E Preferred Stock ranked senior to the Company’s common stock for so long as at least 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding and pari passu thereafter and junior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payments made upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment of the Company’s debts and liabilities, and before any payment was made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock were first entitled to be paid $1,000 per share subject to adjustment for accrued but unpaid dividends.
We were not allowed to pay any dividends on shares of common stock so long as any shares of Series E Preferred Stock were outstanding.
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock was convertible into 980.39 shares of common stock (based upon an initial conversion price of $1.02 per share) at any time at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and similar recapitalization transactions (the “Series E Conversion Ratio”). At our option, each share of Series E Preferred Stock could have been converted into shares of common stock at the Series E Conversion Ratio then in effect if, the common stock trades on the OTC Capital Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock was then traded) at a price equal to at least $2.00 for 20 out of 25 consecutive trading days. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series E Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series E Preferred Stock may not have been converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.
Subject to the rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, for so long as at least 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each a “Liquidation Event”), after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock would have been entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series E Preferred Stock equal to $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the “Series E Liquidation Value”), before any distribution or payment would have been made to the holders of common stock. Subject to the rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, at any time that fewer than 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, pari passu with any distribution or payment made to the holders of common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock would have been entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders the Series E Liquidation Value. For so long as at least 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding, if, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock would have shared equally and ratably with each other in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the Series E Liquidation Value, if any, to which each such holder was entitled, before any distribution or payment shall have been made to holders of common stock. At any time that fewer than 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding, if, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock were not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock would have received the Series E Liquidation Value per share of Series E Preferred Stock on a proportionate and pari passu basis with the holders of common stock.

Series G Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 6 and November 15, 2012, we completed a private placement, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 145,320 units for a purchase price of $5.00 per unit (the “Series G Purchase Price”), resulting in gross proceeds to us of $726,600 (the “Series G Private Placement”). Each unit (“Series G Unit”) consists of (i) one share of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) convertible into 10 shares of our common stock, (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization, etc.) and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 5 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.50 (the “Series G Warrant”). The Series G Warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on the third anniversary of the applicable closing date of the Series G Private Placement. Of the $726,600 invested in the Series G Private Placement, $31,100 was received in cash and $695,500 was from the conversion of outstanding indebtedness and accrued board of directors’ fees.
Each share of Series G Preferred Stock will receive a cumulative dividend at the annual rate of (i) four percent (4%) on those shares of Series G Preferred Stock purchased from the Company by an individual purchaser with an aggregate investment of less than $100,000, (ii) six percent (6%) on those shares of Series G Preferred Stock purchased from the Company by an individual purchaser with an aggregate investment of at least $100,000 but less than $250,000, and (iii) twelve percent (12%) on those shares of Series G Preferred Stock purchased from the Company by an individual purchaser with an aggregate investment of at least $250,000. Dividends accruing on the Series G Preferred Stock shall accrue from day to day until, and shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of, the first anniversary of, the original issue date of the Series G Preferred Stock; provided, however, if any shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock are outstanding at such time, payment of the accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock shall be deferred until no such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding. The Company may pay accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock in cash or in shares of its common stock equal to the volume weighted average price of the common stock as reported by the OTC QB Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Series G’s first anniversary.
At the election of the Company and upon required advanced notice, each share of Series G Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Conversion Ratio then in effect: (i) if, after 6 months from the original issuance date of the Series G Preferred Stock, the common stock trades on the OTC QB Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) at a price equal to at least $0.75, for 7 out of 10 consecutive trading days with average daily trading volume of at least 10,000 shares, (ii) on or after the first anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series G Preferred Stock or (iii) upon completion of a firm-commitment underwritten registered public offering by the Company at a per share price equal to at least $0.75, with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $2.5 million. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series G Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series G Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.
The holders of Series G Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), except as required by law.
Series G Warrants
The Series G Warrants issued in the Series G Private Placement have an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share, with a term expiring on July 6, 2015. The Series G Warrants also permit the holder to conduct a “cashless exercise” at any time the holder of the Series G Warrant is an affiliate of the Company. The exercise price and/or number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations, as set forth in the Series G Warrants.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series G Warrants, at any time commencing six months from the closing date the Company has the right to call for cancellation of the Series G Warrants if the volume weighted average price of its common stock on the OTC QB Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which our common stock is then traded) equals or exceeds three times the per share exercise price of the Warrants for either (i) 10 consecutive trading days or (ii) 15 out of 25 consecutive trading days.

In connection with our sale of Series G Units, we agreed that for each share of Series G Preferred Stock purchased by an investor, the exercise price of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, previously issued to the investor in prior offerings by the Company to purchase common stock of the Company held of record by such investor, shall be reduced to $0.60 per share and will remain at such reduced exercise price until the expiration date of the warrants.
In connection with the sale of Series G Units, we treated the reduction in exercise price as a warrant amendment and calculated the fair value of 1,495,022 warrants with the reduced exercise price of $0.60, as described above, using the Black-Scholes model with the below assumptions. The Company has determined that the fair value of the amended warrants increased as compared with the fair value of the original warrants immediately prior to amendment.

Series H Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 28, 2012 the Company amended its Articles of Organization to authorize 10,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 4, 2013, the Company reported that it had entered into a securities purchase and exchange agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange an aggregate of 10,000 shares of a newly created series of preferred stock, designated Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share of common stock held by the investor in a non-cash transaction. The investor originally purchased the common stock from the Company for $0.8025 per share. The exchange ratio was 100 shares of common stock per share of Series H Preferred Stock at a stated conversion price of $0.8025 per share. The terms of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2013.
Series J Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 6, March 28 and May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase with various individuals pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 5,087.5 units for a purchase price of $400.00 per unit (the “Purchase Price”), or an aggregate Purchase Price of $2,034,700. Each unit purchased in the initial tranche consists of (i) one share of a newly created series of preferred stock, designated Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series J Convertible Preferred Stock”), convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) a warrant to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.40 per share. The warrants expire three years from the issuance date. Of the $2,034,700 invested in the Private Placement, $921,000 was received in cash and $1,113,700 was from the conversion of outstanding indebtedness, interest and accrued board of directors’ fees. The Company incurred $24,405 of legal fees in conjunction with this private placement. The purchasers in the initial tranche of the private placement consisted of certain existing and new investors in the Company as well as all of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
From the date of issuance of any shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock and until the earlier of the first anniversary of such date, the voluntary conversion of any shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, or the date of any mandatory conversion of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, dividends will accrue on each share of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock at an annual rate of (i) four percent (4%) of the Purchase Price on those shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock purchased from the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by an individual purchaser who purchased from the Company shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate Purchase Price of less than $250,000, and (ii) six percent (6%) of the Purchase Price on those shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock purchased from the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by an individual purchaser who purchased shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate purchase price of at least $250,000. Dividends accruing on the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock shall accrue from day to day until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of issuance of such shares of Series J Convertible Stock, the voluntary conversion of any shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, or the date of any mandatory conversion of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall be paid, as applicable, within fifteen (15) days of the first anniversary of the original issue date of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, within five (5) days of the voluntary conversion of shares of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, or within five (5) days of the mandatory conversion of shares of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company may pay accrued dividends on the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in shares of its common stock in accordance with a specified formula.

Each share of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock at the option of the holder on or after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of such share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions (the “Conversion Ratio”). Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, such holder’s shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.
At the election of the Company and upon required advance notice, each share of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Conversion Ratio then in effect: (i) on or after the six-month anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, the common stock trades on the OTC QB Market (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) at a price per share equal to at least $0.80 for 7 out of 10 consecutive trading days with average daily trading volume of at least 50,000 shares, (ii) on the first anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock or (iii) within three days of the completion of a firm-commitment underwritten registered public offering by the Company at a per share price equal to at least $0.80, with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $2.5 million. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series J Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.
The proceeds from the sale of each Series J Unit were allocated between the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series J Warrants based on the relative fair value method. The estimated fair value of the Series J Warrants was determined using a Black Scholes formula, resulting in an allocation of the gross proceeds of $885,310 to the total warrants issued. The allocation of the gross proceeds to the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock was $1,124,985, net of $24,405 in legal costs. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, an additional adjustment between Additional Paid in Capital and Accumulated Deficit of $651,182 was recorded to reflect an implicit non-cash dividend related to the allocation of proceeds between the stock and warrants issued. The $651,182 represents the value of the adjustment to additional paid in capital related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock. The value adjustment was calculated by subtracting the fair market value of the underlying common stock on February 6, March 28 and May 20, 2013 issuable upon conversion of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock from the fair market value of the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock as determined when the Company performed a fair market value allocation of the proceeds to the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants.
In connection with the Series J warrants, we calculated the fair value of the warrants received as described above using the Black- Scholes formula with the below assumptions:

As of June 30 2013, the total estimated fair value of unvested stock options to be amortized over their remaining vesting period was $82,897. The non-cash, stock-based compensation expense associated with the vesting of these options is expected to be $26,790 for the remainder of 2013, $29,532 in 2014, $24,252 in 2015 and $2,323 in 2016.
Sale of common stock
On February 7, 2012, we completed a private placement with 7 accredited investors, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 971,867 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $800,000 (the “Private Placement”). The price per unit was $0.8025 for units consisting of 789,350 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 394,677 shares of common stock, and was $0.9125 for units consisting of the remaining 182,517 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 91,260 shares of common stock. Of the $800,000 invested in the Private Placement, $412,453 was received in cash and $387,547 was from the conversion of outstanding principal and interest on convertible promissory notes issued by us in 2011.
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one-half share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years, commencing on August 7, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.74 per share for the purchasers of the 789,350 shares, and $0.85 per share for the purchasers of the 182,517 shares. The warrants permit the holder to conduct a “cashless exercise” at any time the holder is an affiliate. The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be subject to adjustment for certain stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations.
In connection with the Private Placement, we paid our investment banker a fee of $35,000 for providing advisory services. We accounted for this fee as a reduction in the gross proceeds received from the Private Placement.
Common Stock Issuances
On January 31, 2012, we issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm in payment of services to be rendered over one year. We recorded $72,000 for this issuance of which was amortized over the year. On March 2, 2012, we issued 22,500 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for payment of services already rendered over the prior three months. We recorded $13,950 for this issuance as expense. On April 26, 2012, we issued 17,500 shares of restricted common stock to two investor relations firms for payment of services to be rendered over one month. We recorded $9,625 for this issuance as expense. On April 27, 2012, we issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for payment of services to be rendered over six months. We recorded $60,000 for this issuance as expense. On August 13, 2012, we issued 350,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for payment of services to be rendered over one year. We recorded $140,000 for this issuance of which $59,947was recorded as expense in 2012 and $85,053 was recognized as a prepaid expense that will be amortized over the remaining months of service. On October 17, 2012 we issued 60,000 shares of restricted common stock to three investor relations firms for services rendered and recognized $24,000 as expense. On October 18, 2012 we issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for services rendered and recognized $20,000 as expense. On October 19, 2012 we issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for services rendered and recognized $40,000 as expense. On October 19, we issued 100,000 shares of stock to the Company’s CEO to compensate him for penalties he incurred when the Company defaulted on a loan that he had made to the Company that was subsequently not repaid and recognized an expense of $40,000. On October 29, 2012 we issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm and recognized $20,000 in expense. On November 1, 2012 we issued 175,000 shares of restricted common stock to two investor relations firms for services rendered and recognized expense of $70,000. On April 18, 2013, 2013 we issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for payment of services to be rendered over an eight month period. We recognized $24,833 as an expense during the period ended June 30, 2013 and $15,167 as a prepaid that will be amortized over the remaining months of service. On April 18, 2013 we issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to an investor relations firm for payment of services to be rendered over an eight month period. We recognized $34,667 as an expense during the period ended June 30, 2013 and $45,333 as a prepaid that will be amortized over the remaining months of service. We valued the above stock issuances using the greater of the estimated fair value of the services received or the Company’s stock price on date of issuance. All of these shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.

You should read this section in combination with the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
OVERVIEW
We are focused on solving the challenging problems inherent in biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed by scientists worldwide working in biological life sciences research. Sample preparation is a term that refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. Sample preparation is often complex, time-consuming and, in our belief, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. It is a widely-used laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive what we believe is a large and growing worldwide market. We have developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels i.e., 35,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”) or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.
Our pressure cycling technology uses internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Our laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and our internally developed consumables product line, which include our Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up our PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of June 30, 2013, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result we have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, including equity and debt financing completed subsequent to June 30, 2013, we believe our current cash resources will enable us to fund normal operations until the end of September 2013. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 the Company signed agreements to borrow $275,000, $100,000 and $500,000 from three lenders on April 11, 2013, May 24, 2013 and June 6, 2013, respectively. Through August 1, 2013, we have received $192,500, $100,000, and $250,000 under these agreements. There is no guaranty that the Company will receive the amounts remaining under these agreements. We also received $160,000 in a one year note from an existing shareholder on August 8, 2013. Please see Note 6, Subsequent Events.
We need substantial additional capital to fund normal operations in periods beyond September 2013. If we are able to obtain additional capital or otherwise increase our revenues, we may increase spending in specific research and development applications and engineering projects and may hire additional sales personnel or invest in targeted marketing programs. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.
We hold 14 United States and 10 foreign patents covering multiple applications of PCT in the life sciences field. Our pressure cycling technology employs a unique approach that we believe has the potential for broad use in a number of established and emerging life sciences areas, including;
-
|
sample preparation for genomic, proteomic, and small molecule studies;
|
-
|
pathogen inactivation;
|
-
|
protein purification;
|
-
|
control of chemical (particularly enzymatic) reactions; and
|
-
|
Immunodiagnostics (clinical laboratory testing).
|
We reported a number of accomplishments in the first seven months of 2013.
●
|
On August 1st, we reported that scientists from UCLA presented data at an international scientific symposium on an advanced pressure-based instrument system for biomarker discovery and rational drug design that we believe could offer new insights into protein structure and function.
|
●
|
On June 14th, we announced the close of the third and final tranche of our Series J $2.0 million Private Placement of Preferred Stock and Warrants; we also announced the closing of a $500,000 one-year convertible debenture with an institutional investor.
|
●
|
On June 4th, we announced a core technology breakthrough; that we had succeeded in reaching a pivotal development in our PCT platform that will allow the processing of the high throughput multiwell format found in research (and clinical) laboratories worldwide and that we expected this novel design would have a significant impact on our future growth.
|
●
|
On May 21st, we announced financial results for Q1 2013: total revenue increased 21% over the Q1 2012, consumable sales increased 64% over Q1 2012, and operating loss decreased 24% compared to Q1 2013.
|
●
|
On May 16th, we reported the publication of a breakthrough method for lipid analysis in fecal material, developed by a team led by Dr. Bruce Kristal (Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Womens Hospital). We believe that this new method can help increase the understanding of diseases and disorders related to gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
|
●
|
On April 4th, we announced that further advances had been made in the development of an improved method for rape kit sample testing using PBI’s PCT Platform by Dr. Bruce McCord and his team at the International Forensic Research Institute of Florida International University.
|
●
|
On March 19th, we announced that the use and advantages of PBI’s PCT Platform had been highlighted in cancer, stem cell, and heart disease studies at an important protein research conference. We believe that the FDA data indicate that PCT can be used to extract proteins from stem cells with consistency and quality; the Johns Hopkins data indicate that combining PCT with heat might be a way to recover significantly more proteins from FFPE tissues compared to standard (heat) methods, especially membrane proteins (this could be very important with scientists looking for disease biomarkers); and the ETH Zurich data might be significant for extracting proteins from small, needle biopsy samples, something that we believe is vitally needed today yet not well satisfied at the present time, and (we believe) a significant market opportunity.
|
●
|
On February 12th, we announced that Dr. Mickey Urdea had been appointed to the Board of Directors of PBI. Dr. Urdea is one of the most well-known entrepreneurs and leaders in biotechnology today, having founded two successful companies (Halteres Associates and Tethys Bioscience) over the past ten years. Earlier in his career, Dr. Urdea led the infectious diseases R&D groups at Chiron Corporation and Bayer Diagnostics. He has also been on the Scientific Advisory Boards of numerous life sciences companies and was a member of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Diagnostic Forum.

Results Of Operations
Comparison for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Revenue
We recognized revenue of $357,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $324,908 during the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $32,828 or 10%. This increase is due to an increase in grant revenue offset by slightly lower product sales, as noted below.
PCT Products, Services, Other. Revenue from the sale of PCT products and services decreased 12% to $196,522 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $224,384 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Sales of consumables for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $26,034 compared to $22,255 during the same period in the prior year, an increase of approximately 17%.
Grant Revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded $161,214 of grant revenue compared to $100,524 in the comparable period in 2012. In February 2013, we began to work on a Phase I SBIR grant received from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, to help fund the development of a high pressure-based system to improve the extraction of DNA for next generation sequencing platforms. Work on this grant continued throughout the second quarter. We also continued to work on a Phase II grant received in October 2011 from the Department of Defense, or DOD, to fund the development of a PCT-based system to improve the processing of pathogenic organisms, such as anthrax.
Cost of PCT Products and Services
The cost of PCT products and services was $83,829 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $109,203 for the comparable period in 2012. Our gross profit margin on PCT products and services increased to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to 51% for the prior period. The increase is from a higher portion of direct customer instrument sales rather than to distributors and the continued increase in sales of PCT consumable products.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were $260,408 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $256,307 in the same period in 2012. Our work on research and development projects remained steady during both periods.
Research and development expense recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 included $667 and $3,508 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses increased to $188,392 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $168,173 for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $20,219 or 12%. This increase is primarily attributed to additional marketing expenses incurred.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, selling and marketing expense included $523 and $3,669 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs totaled $683,133 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $474,015 for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $209,118 or 44%. The increase is primarily related to increases in legal, audit, and investor relations fees.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expense included $7,787 and $4,045 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss was $858,026 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $682,790 for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $175,236 or 26%. The increased operating loss resulted primarily from the increased General and Administrative costs.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest (Expense) Income
Interest expense totaled $63,110 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to interest expense of $4,214 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. We recorded $11,066 of accrued interest and $52,044 of amortized debt discount for the three months ended June 30, 2013 related to a series of promissory notes.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash expense of $144,905 versus income of $177,312 for warrant revaluation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued in our Series C private placement and Series D registered direct offering. This change in fair value was primarily due to the stock price at quarter-end and time remaining on the warrants. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we also recorded a non-cash expense of $208,709 upon issuance of convertible debt to account for the fair value of the conversion option liability embedded in the debt instruments. We also recorded net other income of $142,223 due to the change in fair value of the conversion option liabilities at the end of the period. Components of the fair value calculations can be found in Note 3 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net Loss
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a net loss to common shareholders of $1,173,912 or $(0.10) per share, as compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $1,089,666 or $(0.11) per share in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net loss per share is primarily due to an increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock resulting from the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of convertible preferred stock. We recorded a deemed dividend of $185,544 in connection with the Series C Warrants exchange in 2012 compared to a deemed dividend of $68,634 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements under the “Computation of Loss per Share” heading.
Comparison for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Revenue
We recognized revenue of $728,474 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $630,569 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $97,905 or 16%. This increase is due to an increase in both product and grant revenue.
PCT Products, Services, Other. Revenue from the sale of PCT products and services was $418,092 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $389,156 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $28,936 or 7%. Revenue increase included the sale of two Barocycler HUB instrument systems and accessories in the EPR/NMR areas.
Grant Revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded $310,382 of grant revenue compared to $241,413 in the six months ended June 30, 2012. We continue to work on a Phase II grant received from the Department of Defense, or DOD, to fund the development of a PCT-based system to improve the processing of pathogenic organisms and on the Phase I grant received from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, to help fund the development of a high pressure-based system to improve the processing of DNA for next generation sequencing systems.
Cost of PCT Products and Services
The cost of PCT products and services was $188,373 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $187,397 for the comparable period in 2012. Our gross profit margin on PCT products and services increased to 55% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 52% for the prior period.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were $506,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $527,918 in the same period in 2012, a decrease of $21,052 or 4%. We capitalized approximately $50,000 of engineering expenses to Inventory as overhead as a one-time implementation charge in 2012.
Research and development expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 included $5,503 and $6,125 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $382,292 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $406,265 for the comparable period in 2012, a decrease of $23,973 or 6%. This decrease was primarily due to employee related savings from a smaller headcount offset by tradeshow and travel related expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, selling and marketing expense included $4,192 and $6,783 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs totaled $1,233,992 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,156,361 for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $77,631 or 7%. We increased our investor relations efforts in the current period. We also incurred increased audit and legal fees.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expense included $18,322 and $7,182 of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss was $1,583,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,647,372 for the comparable period in 2012, a decrease of $64,323 or 4%. The decreased operating loss resulted primarily from increased revenues and profit margins.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest (Expense) Income
Interest expense totaled $72,013 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to interest expense of $60,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We recorded $19,969 of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to our convertible loans and promissory note. We also amortized approximately $52,044 of imputed interest against the debt discount on these loans relating to warrants issued and fees incurred in conjunction with these loans.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash expense of $124,064 for warrant revaluation in our consolidated statements of operations due to an increase in the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued in Series D registered direct offering. This increase in fair value was primarily due to a higher stock price at quarter-end and time remaining on warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we also recorded a non-cash expense of $208,709 upon issuance of convertible debt to account for the fair value of the conversion option liability embedded in the debt instruments. We also recorded net other income of $142,223 due to the change in fair value of the conversion option liabilities at the end of the period. Components of the fair value calculations can be found in Note 3 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded non-cash income of $135,300 for warrant revaluation in our consolidated statements of operations due to a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued in Series C and Series D registered direct offering. This decrease in fair value was primarily due to a lower stock price at quarter-end and time remaining on warrants.
Net Loss
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a net loss to common shareholders of $2,568,002 or $(0.22) per share, as compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $2,176,987 or $(0.21) per share in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net loss per share is primarily due to the change in fair value of derivatives offset by an increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock resulting from the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of convertible preferred stock. We recorded a deemed dividend of $185,544 in connection with the Series C Warrants exchange in 2012 compared to a deemed dividend of $68,634 in 2013. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements under the “Computation of Loss per Share” heading.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of June 30, 2013, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, we have substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, including equity and debt financing completed subsequent to June 30, 2013, described in Note 6, we believe our current cash resources will enable us to fund normal operations until the end of September 2013.
We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations in periods beyond September 2013. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,316,585 as compared to $1,184,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in cash used in operations in 2013 as compared to 2012 is principally due to an increase in accounts receivable and a pay down of outstanding accounts payable.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was not significant.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,430,317 as compared to $982,389 for the same period in the prior year. The cash from financing activities in the period ending June 30, 2013 include $640,500 from convertible debt, net of fees and original note discounts and $896,595 in proceeds, net of $24,405 in legal fees, from our Series J Convertible Preferred Stock offering.
We received $160,000 in a one year note from an existing shareholder on August 8, 2013. Terms of the note included 18% annual interest, a three year warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and a right to convert the note into the next equity transaction of the Company.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are note required to provide the information under this item.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filings are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of June 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013 is due to our continued limited resources for adequate personnel to prepare and file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the required periods and the continued presence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These material weaknesses are the following:
●
|
A lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.
|
●
|
A lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to valuation of warrants and other complex debt /equity transactions. Specifically, this material weakness led to segregation of duties issues and resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.
|
We plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:
●
|
Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring an independent consultant once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significant additional working capital.
|
●
|
Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.
|
During the period covered by this Report, we implemented and performed additional substantive procedures, such as supervisory review of work papers and consistent use of financial models used in equity valuations, to ensure our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2013, are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP. We have not, however, been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses due to our limited financial resources. Our remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The risks described in our Form 10-K and this Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on us. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
