PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

1) Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (the “Company”) is a leader in the development & sale of innovative, enabling, high pressure technology-based instruments, consumables, and services for the life sciences and other industries worldwide. Our products/services are based on three patented, high-pressure platforms: (i) Ultra Shear Technology™ (“UltraShear™” or “UST™”)., (ii) BaroFold Technology™ (“BaroFold™”), and (iii) Pressure Cycling Technology™ (“PCT™”)  

 

The Company was founded on the belief that its PCT platform  had the potential to significantly increase the quality of sample preparation in both research and clinical settings. This premise has been well proven and PBI has been successful in installing its PCT platform in the laboratories of key opinion leaders worldwide. Although developed subsequently, the Company now assesses that the commercial potential for its UST platform across diverse multi-billion dollar markets far exceeds the potential of the PCT platform. Consequently, in January 2022, PBI made the critical strategy decision to immediately shift its primary business focus from PCT to its innovative UST Platform.

 

The UST Platform (7 issued patents) is based on the use of intense shear forces from ultra-high pressure discharge (greater than 20,000 psi) through a dynamically-controlled nano-gap valve under precisely controlled temperatures. UST has been shown to turn hydrophobic (water-repelling) oil-based supplements (e.g., CBD, curcumin, astaxanthin), therapeutics (e.g., prednisone), and other active ingredients (e.g., retinol) into long-term stable, effectively water-soluble, highly bioavailable, oil-in-water nanoemulsion formulations. The Company began early commercial introduction of the UST Platform in May 2022, and executed agreements were subsequently announced with three CBD companies and one cosmeceutical/skincare company for commercialization in Q4 2022.

 

The BaroFold Platform (8 issued patents) can be used to significantly improve the quality and production costs of protein biotherapeutics. It employs high pressure manipulations for the disaggregation, unfolding and controlled refolding of proteins to their desired native structures at yields and efficiencies not achievable using existing technologies. The BaroFold Platform has been shown to remove protein aggregates in biotherapeutic drug manufacturing, thereby improving product efficacy, safety, and cost for both new-drug entities and biosimilar (follow-on biologic) products. It is scalable and practical for standard manufacturing processes.

 

The PCT Platform (15 issued patents) uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high pressures to control bio-molecular interactions safely and reproducibly in sample preparation (e.g., the critical steps performed by tens of thousands of scientists worldwide prior to analytical measurements, such as cell lysis and biomolecule extraction from tissue samples). Our focus for PCT is on making our recently released, GMP-compliant, next generation PCT-based Barocycler EXTREME system available globally to biopharmaceutical drug manufacturers for use in the design, development, characterization, and quality control of biotherapeutic drugs. We currently have over 350 PCT Systems placed in approximately 225 academic, government, pharmaceutical, and biotech research laboratories worldwide. There are currently over 200 independent publications highlighting the advantages of using the PCT Platform in scientific research & clinical laboratories.

 

2) Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of June 30, 2023, we do not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 5 and 6. In addition we raised debt and equity capital after June 30, 2023 as described in Note 7. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. 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. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules and regulations, some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been shortened or omitted. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods shown have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring. These financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Global concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations including the estimates and assumptions made by management. Significant estimates and assumptions include valuations of share-based awards, investments in equity securities and intangible asset impairment. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes the beneficial conversion separation model for convertible debt. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer account for beneficial conversion features in equity. The guidance is effective for public business entities, other than small reporting company’s financial statements starting January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is a small reporting company and early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect of adoption equal to a $2,728,243 decrease in additional paid in capital and a $2,255,216 decrease in accumulated deficit. There is no material impact to the Company’s statements of operations or cash flows as the result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and did not significantly impact the Company’s accounting policies or estimation methods related to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not have any reserve for doubtful accounts due to its customers being distributors, universities, research organizations and government agencies. In the past several years, all its customers have paid in full without any need for a write-down.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We enter sales contracts that may consist of multiple distinct performance obligations where certain performance obligations of the sales contract are not delivered in one reporting period. We measure and allocate revenue according to ASC 606-10.

 

We identify a performance obligation as distinct if both the following criteria are true: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) and allocation of consideration from a contract to the individual performance obligations, and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, is the result of significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as historical sales, usage rates, costs, and expected margin, which may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on our financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are in included in cost of revenues as consistent with treatment in prior periods.

 

Our current Barocycler® instruments require a basic level of instrumentation expertise to set-up for initial operation. To support a favorable first experience for our customers, upon customer request, and for an additional fee, we will send a highly trained technical representative to the customer site to install Barocyclers® that we sell, lease, or rent through our domestic sales force. The installation process includes uncrating and setting up the instrument, followed by introductory user training. Our sales arrangements do not provide our customers with a right of return. Any shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.

 

Most of our instrument and consumable contracts contain pricing that is based on the market price for the product at the time of delivery. Our obligations to deliver product volumes are typically satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to our customers. Concurrent with the transfer of control, we typically receive the right to payment for the shipped product and the customer takes on the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Payment terms require customers to pay shortly after delivery and do not contain significant financing components.

 

Revenue from scientific services customers is recognized upon completion of each stage of service as defined in service agreements.

 

We apply ASC 845, “Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions”, to account for products and services sold through non-cash transactions based on the fair values of the products and services involved, where such values can be determined. Non-cash exchanges would require revenue to be recognized at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold if any of the following conditions apply:

 

  a) The fair value of the asset or service involved is not determinable.
     
  b) The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.
     
  c) The transaction lacks commercial substance.

 

We recognize revenue for non-cash transactions at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold.

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report8

 

 

We account for lease agreements of our instruments in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. 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 accompanying 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.

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from service contracts for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue from service contracts is recorded ratably over the length of the contract.

Contract Costs

 

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The costs to obtain a contract are recorded immediately in the period when the revenue is recognized either upon shipment or installation. The costs to obtain a service contract are considered immaterial when spread over the life of the contract so the Company records the costs immediately upon billing.

 

Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

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

 

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Product Supply

 

In recent years we utilized a contract assembler for our Barocycler® 2320EXT. They provided us with precision manufacturing services that included management support services to meet our specific application and operational requirements. Among the services provided to us were:

 

  CNC Machining
  Contract Assembly & Kitting
  Component and Subassembly Design
  Inventory Management
  ISO certification

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report10

 

 

Beginning in July 2021, we brought the assembly of our Barocycler 2320EXT instruments in-house. This became necessary when our independent contract assembler (CBM Industries) informed us that they were about to need 100% of their assembly space for one of their customers (one of the largest life science instrument manufacturers in the U.S.). We worked with our notified body to gain approval to use both the CE and CSA marks on the instrument, which we received during Q3 2021. Until further notice, we expect to continue to assemble our Barocycler 2320EXT instrument at our South Easton, MA location.

 

We currently manufacture and assemble the Barocycler®, HUB440, HUB880, the SHREDDER SG3, and most of our consumables at our South Easton, MA facility. We will regularly reassess the tradeoffs between in-house assembly versus the benefits of outsourced relationships for of the entire Barocycler® product line, and future instruments.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

As of June 30, 2023, we held 100,250 shares of common stock of Nexity Global SA, (a Polish publicly traded company).

 

We account for this investment in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

 

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated balance sheet reflected the fair value, determined on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of our investment in Nexity, to be $83,883. We recorded $20,245 as an unrealized gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 for changes in market value.

 

Computation of Loss per Share

 

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

 

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

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

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions we utilized for grants of stock options to the three sub-groups of our stock option recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

 

Summary of Assumptions for Grants of Stock Options

Assumptions  CEO, other Officers and Employees 
Expected life   6.0 (yrs)
Expected volatility   130.5 %
Risk-free interest rate   3.90 %
Forfeiture rate   0 to 5.00 %
Expected dividend yield   0.0 %

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report12

 

 

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 0% to 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.

 

All of the outstanding non-qualified options had an exercise price that was at or above the Company’s common stock share price at time of issuance.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $135,554 and $32,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,565,798 and $96,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectfully. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Cost of sales  $11,060   $2,161   $64,541   $6,510 
Research and development   35,289    9,395    205,909    28,304 
Selling and marketing   13,426    4,533    85,525    13,583 
General and administrative   75,779    15,985    1,209,823    48,160 
Total stock-based compensation expense  $135,554   $32,074   $1,565,798   $96,557 

 

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximate their fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

 

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. A slight change in an unobservable input like volatility could have a significant impact on fair value measurement.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined that its financial assets are classified within Level 1 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.

4) Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to leases of one year or less. Our corporate office is currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. We are currently paying $7,650 per month, on a lease extension, signed on December 5, 2022, that expires December 31, 2023, for our corporate office. We expanded our space to include offices, warehouse and a loading dock on the first floor starting May 1, 2017 with a monthly rent increase already reflected in the current payments.

 

We extended our lease for our space in Medford, MA (the “Medford Lease”) from December 30, 2020 to December 30, 2023. The lease required monthly payments of $7,282 subject to annual cost of living increases. The lease shall be automatically extended for additional three years unless either party terminates at least six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term.

 

The Company accounted for the lease extension of our Medford Lease as a lease modification under ASC 842. At the effective date of modification, the Company recorded an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and lease liability in the amount of $221,432 based on the net present value of lease payments discounted using an estimated borrowing rate of 12%.

 

On August 9, 2021, we entered into an operating lease agreement for our warehouse space in Sparks, NV (the “Sparks Lease”) for the period from September 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The lease contains escalating payments during the lease period. The lease can be extended for an additional three years if the Company provides notice at least six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term.

 

The Company accounted for the Sparks Lease as an operating lease under ASC 842. Upon the commencement of the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability in the amount of $239,327 based on the net present value of lease payments discounted using an estimated borrowing rate of 12%.

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report14

 

 

Following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2023:

Total future undiscounted lease payments   258,196 
Less imputed interest   (111,650)
Present value of lease liabilities  $146,546 

 

The operating cash flows from the operating leases were $106,345 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $53,884 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The weighted-average remaining lease term (years) of the above leases is 2.59 year as of June 30, 2023.

 

Below is a table for the right of use asset and the corresponding lease liability in the consolidated balance sheets:

 

Operating Leases  June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Right of use asset  $175,750   $282,095 
Right of use liability, current  $65,640   $142,171 
Right of use liability, long term  $80,906   $139,924 
Total lease liability  $146,546   $282,095 

 

The weighted-average discount rate is 12%.

 

The Company had no financing leases during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The components of lease cost for operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

 

   June 30, 2023   June 30, 2022 
Operating lease cost  $64,310   $75,620 
Short-term lease cost   45,900    41,700 
Total lease cost  $110,210   $117,320 

 

Battelle Memorial Institute

 

In December 2008, we entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with the Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”). The licensed technology is the subject of a patent application filed by Battelle in 2008 and relates 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. 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. After re-negotiating the terms of the contract in 2013, the minimum annual royalty was $1,200 in 2014 and $2,000 in 2015; the minimum royalties were $3,000 in 2016, $4,000 in 2017 and $5,000 in 2018 and each calendar year thereafter during the term of the agreement.

 

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”), a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, we have been licensed by TDI to manufacture and sell an 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. We did not incur any royalty obligation under this agreement in 2023 or 2022.

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report15

 

 

In April 2012, we signed a non-exclusive license agreement with TDI to grant the non-exclusive use of our pressure cycling technology. We executed an amendment to this agreement on October 1, 2016 wherein we agreed to pay a monthly fee of $1,400 for the use of a lab bench, shared space, and other utilities, and $2,000 per day for technical support services as needed. The agreement requires TDI to pay the Company a minimum royalty fee of $60,000 in 2022 and $60,000 in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company reported $39,500 and $49,400, respectively in TDI fees.

 

Severance and Change of Control Agreements

 

Each of Mr. Schumacher, and Drs. Ting, and Lazarev, executive officers of the Company, are entitled to receive a severance payment if terminated by the Company 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 their termination upon 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 aforementioned executives to remain in the employ of the Company, in general, and particularly in the occurrence of a change in control, as a disincentive to the control change.

On various dates during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued convertible notes for net proceeds of approximate total of $3.5 million which contained varied terms and conditions as follows: a) 3-12 month maturity date; b) interest rates of 0-120%; c) convertible to the Company’s common stock at issuance at a fixed rate of $2.50 or at variable conversion rates upon the Company’s up-listing to NASDAQ or NYSE or an event of default. These notes were issued with shares of common stock that were fair valued at issuance date. The aggregate relative fair value of the shares of common stock and preferred stock issued with the notes of $1,783,912 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the notes. We also evaluated the convertible notes for derivative liability treatment and determined that the notes did not qualify for derivative accounting treatment on June 30, 2023.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, deferred financing costs and OID issued with the debt are $586,000 and the Company repaid $2,353,536.

Convertible Loan Modifications and Extinguishments

 

We refinanced certain convertible loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023 at substantially the same terms for extensions ranging over a period of two to six months. We amortized any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the modification date over the remaining, extended term of the new loans. We applied ASC 470 of modification accounting to the debt instruments which were modified during the quarter or those settled with new notes issued concurrently for the same amounts but different maturity dates. The terms such as the interest rate, prepayment penalties, and default rates will be the same over the new extensions. According to ASC 470, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different and will be accounted for as modifications.

 

The cash flows of new debt exceeded 10% of the remaining cash flows of the original debt on several loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we recorded gains on extinguishment of liabilities of approximately $0.7 million by calculating the difference of the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the old debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company extended 10 loans totaling $2,167,938 and increased the principal to $2,317,938. The Company issued 1,096,800 shares of common stock and 185 shares of preferred stock for these extensions and reduced principal.

(1)Interest varies from 1% to 12%. The maturity is between being past due and May 25, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, $861,500 of the non-convertible debt is past due.
(2)The Company entered a COVID-19 government loan in 2020, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (or “EIDL”). The Company’s EIDL loan, $150,000, accrues interest at 3.75% and requires monthly payments of $731 for principal and interest beginning in December 2022. The balance of the principal will be due in 30 years. In connection with the EIDL loan the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA, whereby the Company granted the SBA a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $14,719 interest was deferred and added to principal on EIDL loan and the Company repaid $1,544 principal on this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $367,039 (two-year term and 1% interest rate per annum) under the Payroll Protection program (or “2020 PPP”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $367,039 through a second Payroll Protection program (or “2021 PPP”) and extended the monthly payment date on the EIDL to December 2022. In year 2021, both 2020 PPP and 2021 PPP was forgiven by the United States and SBA.
(3)During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 3.48% - 30.2% per month. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the Daily Payment Rate. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer guarantees the Company’s performance of all representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in the Agreement. For loans outstanding on June 30, 2023, the maturity dates ranged from July 26, 2023 to October 15, 2024. For loan outstanding on December 31, 2022, the maturity dates ranged from April 4 to June 6, 2023.

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report24

 

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (the “Company”) is a leader in the development & sale of innovative, enabling, high pressure technology-based instruments, consumables, and services for the life sciences and other industries worldwide. Our products/services are based on three patented, high-pressure platforms: (i) Ultra Shear Technology™ (“UltraShear™” or “UST™”)., (ii) BaroFold Technology™ (“BaroFold™”), and (iii) Pressure Cycling Technology™ (“PCT™”)  

 

The Company was founded on the belief that its PCT platform  had the potential to significantly increase the quality of sample preparation in both research and clinical settings. This premise has been well proven and PBI has been successful in installing its PCT platform in the laboratories of key opinion leaders worldwide. Although developed subsequently, the Company now assesses that the commercial potential for its UST platform across diverse multi-billion dollar markets far exceeds the potential of the PCT platform. Consequently, in January 2022, PBI made the critical strategy decision to immediately shift its primary business focus from PCT to its innovative UST Platform.

 

The UST Platform (7 issued patents) is based on the use of intense shear forces from ultra-high pressure discharge (greater than 20,000 psi) through a dynamically-controlled nano-gap valve under precisely controlled temperatures. UST has been shown to turn hydrophobic (water-repelling) oil-based supplements (e.g., CBD, curcumin, astaxanthin), therapeutics (e.g., prednisone), and other active ingredients (e.g., retinol) into long-term stable, effectively water-soluble, highly bioavailable, oil-in-water nanoemulsion formulations. The Company began early commercial introduction of the UST Platform in May 2022, and executed agreements were subsequently announced with three CBD companies and one cosmeceutical/skincare company for commercialization in Q4 2022.

 

The BaroFold Platform (8 issued patents) can be used to significantly improve the quality and production costs of protein biotherapeutics. It employs high pressure manipulations for the disaggregation, unfolding and controlled refolding of proteins to their desired native structures at yields and efficiencies not achievable using existing technologies. The BaroFold Platform has been shown to remove protein aggregates in biotherapeutic drug manufacturing, thereby improving product efficacy, safety, and cost for both new-drug entities and biosimilar (follow-on biologic) products. It is scalable and practical for standard manufacturing processes.

 

The PCT Platform (15 issued patents) uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high pressures to control bio-molecular interactions safely and reproducibly in sample preparation (e.g., the critical steps performed by tens of thousands of scientists worldwide prior to analytical measurements, such as cell lysis and biomolecule extraction from tissue samples). Our focus for PCT is on making our recently released, GMP-compliant, next generation PCT-based Barocycler EXTREME system available globally to biopharmaceutical drug manufacturers for use in the design, development, characterization, and quality control of biotherapeutic drugs. We currently have over 350 PCT Systems placed in approximately 225 academic, government, pharmaceutical, and biotech research laboratories worldwide. There are currently over 200 independent publications highlighting the advantages of using the PCT Platform in scientific research & clinical laboratories.

The following disclosure compares the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (“Q2 2023”) with June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”), and compares the six months ended June 30, 2023 with June 30, 2022.

 

Products and Services Revenue

 

We recognized total revenue of $511,803 for Q2 2023 compared to $498,137 for Q2 2022, a 3% increase. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of $1,252,403 and $978,137 respectively, a 28% increase.

 

This increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $196,724 increase in PCT instrumentation and consumable sales and an $83,028 increase in Agrochem products, offset by a decrease of $89,350 in scientific services.

 

Cost of Products and Services

 

The cost of products and services was $256,599 for Q2 2023 compared to $302,141 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 our cost of products and services were $615,227 and $616,504, respectively. Gross profit margin on products and services increased to 51% in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2023 from 37% in the same period ended June 30, 2022. The increase in gross profit margin was attributable to $166,320 of Agrochem products sold in 2023 at no cost due to 2022 inventory write-off and a $79,901 instrument non-monetary exchange sale in 2022 which was recorded at no profit.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses were $280,446 for Q2 2023 compared to $172,726 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, these expenses were $716,092 and $454,315, respectively, a 58% increase. The reported increase was due to a $71,777 reclass of salaries to COGS for a non-monetary instrument exchange in 2022 and $205,909 of stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options issued in 2023.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $154,014 for Q2 2023 compared to $129,434 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, these expenses were $380,029 and $195,896, respectively a 94% increase The reported increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of a Marketing FTE in Q2 2022 and approximately $85,000 of stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options issued in 2023.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses were $902,265 for Q2 2023 compared to $795,466 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, these expenses were $4,260,321 and $1,699,351, respectively, a 151% increase. The increase was primarily due to approximately $1.7 million common stock and warrants issued for services, approximately $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for employee, BOD and financial consultant stock options issued in 2023, and approximately $97,000 of financial consulting expenses in 2023.

 

Operating Loss

 

Operating loss was $1,081,521 for Q2 2023 compared to $901,630 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the operating loss was $4,719,266 and $1,987,929 respectively, a 137% increase. This increase is primarily due $1.7 millions common stock and warrant issued for services and $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense for employee and BOD financial consultant stock options issued in 2023.

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report26

 

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Interest expense was $5,879,653 for Q2 2023 compared to $1,835,589 for Q2 2022. For the year-to-date periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, these expenses were $9,773,339 and $4,414,750, respectively, a 121% increase. This increase was attributable to an increase in convertible debt and merchant cash loans, in addition to stock issuances for interest paid in kind and stock issued for debt extensions.

 

Unrealized gain on investment in equity securities

 

Unrealized gain on investments in equity securities was $12,184 for Q2 2023 compared to an unrealized loss of $18,510 for Q2 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the unrealized gain on investment in equity securities was $20,245 as compared to $628 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The reported change was attributable to movement in the market price of the Company’s investment in Nexity.

 

Loss on extinguishment of liabilities

 

In connection with debt extensions and forgiveness, we recognized a net gain of $28,314 for Q2 2023 compared to $165,277 of losses for Q2 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 the recognized net gain of $687,591 as compared to a net loss of $755,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase/decline in gains/losses was attributable to decreased extension and forgiveness activity.

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $11,114,925 ($0.57 per share) for Q2 2023 compared to $3,348,046 ($0.32 per share) for Q2 2022.

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, 2023, 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. As described in Notes 5 and 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have been successful in raising debt and equity capital. We received approximately $5.5 million in net proceeds from loans in the six months ended June 30, 2023. We have efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. (See Note 7 to the financial statements)

 

We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations in future periods. If 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, 2023 was $1,321,386 as compared to $1,998,192 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,000 compared to $4,890 in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,345,496 as compared to $1,992,340 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc.June 30, 2023 10Q Report27

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 is due to the continued presence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These material weaknesses are the following:

 

  We identified 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.
     
  Management has identified 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 resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.
     
  Limited policies and procedures that cover recording and reporting of financial transactions.
     
  Lack of multiple levels of review over the financial reporting process
     
  We continue to plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:
     
  Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions, and to simultaneously achieve desired organizational structuring for improved segregation of duties. We plan to mitigate this identified deficiency by hiring an independent consultant once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significant additional working capital.
     
  Improve expert review and achieve desired segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significantly more working capital.

 

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 consolidated financial statements as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2023, are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP. We have not, however, been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses due to our limited financial resources. Our remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

1) Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (the “Company”) is a leader in the development & sale of innovative, enabling, high pressure technology-based instruments, consumables, and services for the life sciences and other industries worldwide. Our products/services are based on three patented, high-pressure platforms: (i) Ultra Shear Technology™ (“UltraShear™” or “UST™”)., (ii) BaroFold Technology™ (“BaroFold™”), and (iii) Pressure Cycling Technology™ (“PCT™”)  

 

The Company was founded on the belief that its PCT platform  had the potential to significantly increase the quality of sample preparation in both research and clinical settings. This premise has been well proven and PBI has been successful in installing its PCT platform in the laboratories of key opinion leaders worldwide. Although developed subsequently, the Company now assesses that the commercial potential for its UST platform across diverse multi-billion dollar markets far exceeds the potential of the PCT platform. Consequently, in January 2022, PBI made the critical strategy decision to immediately shift its primary business focus from PCT to its innovative UST Platform.

 

The UST Platform (7 issued patents) is based on the use of intense shear forces from ultra-high pressure discharge (greater than 20,000 psi) through a dynamically-controlled nano-gap valve under precisely controlled temperatures. UST has been shown to turn hydrophobic (water-repelling) oil-based supplements (e.g., CBD, curcumin, astaxanthin), therapeutics (e.g., prednisone), and other active ingredients (e.g., retinol) into long-term stable, effectively water-soluble, highly bioavailable, oil-in-water nanoemulsion formulations. The Company began early commercial introduction of the UST Platform in May 2022, and executed agreements were subsequently announced with three CBD companies and one cosmeceutical/skincare company for commercialization in Q4 2022.

 

The BaroFold Platform (8 issued patents) can be used to significantly improve the quality and production costs of protein biotherapeutics. It employs high pressure manipulations for the disaggregation, unfolding and controlled refolding of proteins to their desired native structures at yields and efficiencies not achievable using existing technologies. The BaroFold Platform has been shown to remove protein aggregates in biotherapeutic drug manufacturing, thereby improving product efficacy, safety, and cost for both new-drug entities and biosimilar (follow-on biologic) products. It is scalable and practical for standard manufacturing processes.

 

The PCT Platform (15 issued patents) uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high pressures to control bio-molecular interactions safely and reproducibly in sample preparation (e.g., the critical steps performed by tens of thousands of scientists worldwide prior to analytical measurements, such as cell lysis and biomolecule extraction from tissue samples). Our focus for PCT is on making our recently released, GMP-compliant, next generation PCT-based Barocycler EXTREME system available globally to biopharmaceutical drug manufacturers for use in the design, development, characterization, and quality control of biotherapeutic drugs. We currently have over 350 PCT Systems placed in approximately 225 academic, government, pharmaceutical, and biotech research laboratories worldwide. There are currently over 200 independent publications highlighting the advantages of using the PCT Platform in scientific research & clinical laboratories.

Going Concern

2) Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of June 30, 2023, we do not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 5 and 6. In addition we raised debt and equity capital after June 30, 2023 as described in Note 7. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. 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. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules and regulations, some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been shortened or omitted. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods shown have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring. These financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Global concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations including the estimates and assumptions made by management. Significant estimates and assumptions include valuations of share-based awards, investments in equity securities and intangible asset impairment. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes the beneficial conversion separation model for convertible debt. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer account for beneficial conversion features in equity. The guidance is effective for public business entities, other than small reporting company’s financial statements starting January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is a small reporting company and early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect of adoption equal to a $2,728,243 decrease in additional paid in capital and a $2,255,216 decrease in accumulated deficit. There is no material impact to the Company’s statements of operations or cash flows as the result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and did not significantly impact the Company’s accounting policies or estimation methods related to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not have any reserve for doubtful accounts due to its customers being distributors, universities, research organizations and government agencies. In the past several years, all its customers have paid in full without any need for a write-down.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We enter sales contracts that may consist of multiple distinct performance obligations where certain performance obligations of the sales contract are not delivered in one reporting period. We measure and allocate revenue according to ASC 606-10.

 

We identify a performance obligation as distinct if both the following criteria are true: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) and allocation of consideration from a contract to the individual performance obligations, and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, is the result of significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as historical sales, usage rates, costs, and expected margin, which may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on our financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are in included in cost of revenues as consistent with treatment in prior periods.

 

Our current Barocycler® instruments require a basic level of instrumentation expertise to set-up for initial operation. To support a favorable first experience for our customers, upon customer request, and for an additional fee, we will send a highly trained technical representative to the customer site to install Barocyclers® that we sell, lease, or rent through our domestic sales force. The installation process includes uncrating and setting up the instrument, followed by introductory user training. Our sales arrangements do not provide our customers with a right of return. Any shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.

 

Most of our instrument and consumable contracts contain pricing that is based on the market price for the product at the time of delivery. Our obligations to deliver product volumes are typically satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to our customers. Concurrent with the transfer of control, we typically receive the right to payment for the shipped product and the customer takes on the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Payment terms require customers to pay shortly after delivery and do not contain significant financing components.

 

Revenue from scientific services customers is recognized upon completion of each stage of service as defined in service agreements.

 

We apply ASC 845, “Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions”, to account for products and services sold through non-cash transactions based on the fair values of the products and services involved, where such values can be determined. Non-cash exchanges would require revenue to be recognized at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold if any of the following conditions apply:

 

  a) The fair value of the asset or service involved is not determinable.
     
  b) The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.
     
  c) The transaction lacks commercial substance.

 

We recognize revenue for non-cash transactions at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold.

 

 

We account for lease agreements of our instruments in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. 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 accompanying 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.

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from service contracts for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue from service contracts is recorded ratably over the length of the contract.

Contract Costs

 

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The costs to obtain a contract are recorded immediately in the period when the revenue is recognized either upon shipment or installation. The costs to obtain a service contract are considered immaterial when spread over the life of the contract so the Company records the costs immediately upon billing.

 

Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

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

 

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Product Supply

 

In recent years we utilized a contract assembler for our Barocycler® 2320EXT. They provided us with precision manufacturing services that included management support services to meet our specific application and operational requirements. Among the services provided to us were:

 

  CNC Machining
  Contract Assembly & Kitting
  Component and Subassembly Design
  Inventory Management
  ISO certification

 

 

Beginning in July 2021, we brought the assembly of our Barocycler 2320EXT instruments in-house. This became necessary when our independent contract assembler (CBM Industries) informed us that they were about to need 100% of their assembly space for one of their customers (one of the largest life science instrument manufacturers in the U.S.). We worked with our notified body to gain approval to use both the CE and CSA marks on the instrument, which we received during Q3 2021. Until further notice, we expect to continue to assemble our Barocycler 2320EXT instrument at our South Easton, MA location.

 

We currently manufacture and assemble the Barocycler®, HUB440, HUB880, the SHREDDER SG3, and most of our consumables at our South Easton, MA facility. We will regularly reassess the tradeoffs between in-house assembly versus the benefits of outsourced relationships for of the entire Barocycler® product line, and future instruments.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

As of June 30, 2023, we held 100,250 shares of common stock of Nexity Global SA, (a Polish publicly traded company).

 

We account for this investment in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

 

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated balance sheet reflected the fair value, determined on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of our investment in Nexity, to be $83,883. We recorded $20,245 as an unrealized gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 for changes in market value.

 

Computation of Loss per Share

 

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

 

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

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

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions we utilized for grants of stock options to the three sub-groups of our stock option recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

 

Summary of Assumptions for Grants of Stock Options

Assumptions  CEO, other Officers and Employees 
Expected life   6.0 (yrs)
Expected volatility   130.5 %
Risk-free interest rate   3.90 %
Forfeiture rate   0 to 5.00 %
Expected dividend yield   0.0 %

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 0% to 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.

 

All of the outstanding non-qualified options had an exercise price that was at or above the Company’s common stock share price at time of issuance.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $135,554 and $32,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,565,798 and $96,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectfully. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Cost of sales  $11,060   $2,161   $64,541   $6,510 
Research and development   35,289    9,395    205,909    28,304 
Selling and marketing   13,426    4,533    85,525    13,583 
General and administrative   75,779    15,985    1,209,823    48,160 
Total stock-based compensation expense  $135,554   $32,074   $1,565,798   $96,557 

 

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximate their fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

 

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. A slight change in an unobservable input like volatility could have a significant impact on fair value measurement.

 

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

 

 

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023:

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to leases of one year or less. Our corporate office is currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. We are currently paying $7,650 per month, on a lease extension, signed on December 5, 2022, that expires December 31, 2023, for our corporate office. We expanded our space to include offices, warehouse and a loading dock on the first floor starting May 1, 2017 with a monthly rent increase already reflected in the current payments.

 

We extended our lease for our space in Medford, MA (the “Medford Lease”) from December 30, 2020 to December 30, 2023. The lease required monthly payments of $7,282 subject to annual cost of living increases. The lease shall be automatically extended for additional three years unless either party terminates at least six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term.

 

The Company accounted for the lease extension of our Medford Lease as a lease modification under ASC 842. At the effective date of modification, the Company recorded an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and lease liability in the amount of $221,432 based on the net present value of lease payments discounted using an estimated borrowing rate of 12%.

 

On August 9, 2021, we entered into an operating lease agreement for our warehouse space in Sparks, NV (the “Sparks Lease”) for the period from September 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The lease contains escalating payments during the lease period. The lease can be extended for an additional three years if the Company provides notice at least six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term.

 

The Company accounted for the Sparks Lease as an operating lease under ASC 842. Upon the commencement of the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability in the amount of $239,327 based on the net present value of lease payments discounted using an estimated borrowing rate of 12%.

 

 

Following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2023:

 

Year  Total 
July 1 – December 31, 2023  $75,057 
2024   64,393 
2025   66,969 
2026   51,777 
Total future undiscounted lease payments   258,196 
Less imputed interest   (111,650)
Present value of lease liabilities  $146,546 

 

The operating cash flows from the operating leases were $106,345 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $53,884 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The weighted-average remaining lease term (years) of the above leases is 2.59 year as of June 30, 2023.

 

Below is a table for the right of use asset and the corresponding lease liability in the consolidated balance sheets:

 

Operating Leases  June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Right of use asset  $175,750   $282,095 
Right of use liability, current  $65,640   $142,171 
Right of use liability, long term  $80,906   $139,924 
Total lease liability  $146,546   $282,095 

 

The weighted-average discount rate is 12%.

 

The Company had no financing leases during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The components of lease cost for operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

 

   June 30, 2023   June 30, 2022 
Operating lease cost  $64,310   $75,620 
Short-term lease cost   45,900    41,700 
Total lease cost  $110,210   $117,320 

 

Battelle Memorial Institute

 

In December 2008, we entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with the Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”). The licensed technology is the subject of a patent application filed by Battelle in 2008 and relates 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. 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. After re-negotiating the terms of the contract in 2013, the minimum annual royalty was $1,200 in 2014 and $2,000 in 2015; the minimum royalties were $3,000 in 2016, $4,000 in 2017 and $5,000 in 2018 and each calendar year thereafter during the term of the agreement.

 

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”), a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, we have been licensed by TDI to manufacture and sell an 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. We did not incur any royalty obligation under this agreement in 2023 or 2022.

 

 

In April 2012, we signed a non-exclusive license agreement with TDI to grant the non-exclusive use of our pressure cycling technology. We executed an amendment to this agreement on October 1, 2016 wherein we agreed to pay a monthly fee of $1,400 for the use of a lab bench, shared space, and other utilities, and $2,000 per day for technical support services as needed. The agreement requires TDI to pay the Company a minimum royalty fee of $60,000 in 2022 and $60,000 in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company reported $39,500 and $49,400, respectively in TDI fees.

 

Severance and Change of Control Agreements

 

Each of Mr. Schumacher, and Drs. Ting, and Lazarev, executive officers of the Company, are entitled to receive a severance payment if terminated by the Company 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 their termination upon 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 aforementioned executives to remain in the employ of the Company, in general, and particularly in the occurrence of a change in control, as a disincentive to the control change.

Convertible Debt

 

On various dates during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued convertible notes for net proceeds of approximate total of $3.5 million which contained varied terms and conditions as follows: a) 3-12 month maturity date; b) interest rates of 0-120%; c) convertible to the Company’s common stock at issuance at a fixed rate of $2.50 or at variable conversion rates upon the Company’s up-listing to NASDAQ or NYSE or an event of default. These notes were issued with shares of common stock that were fair valued at issuance date. The aggregate relative fair value of the shares of common stock and preferred stock issued with the notes of $1,783,912 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the notes. We also evaluated the convertible notes for derivative liability treatment and determined that the notes did not qualify for derivative accounting treatment on June 30, 2023.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, deferred financing costs and OID issued with the debt are $586,000 and the Company repaid $2,353,536.

 

The summary of specific terms of the convertible notes and outstanding balances as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are listed in the tables below. The convertible notes are from numerous parties and with original issue dates from July, 2019 to June, 2023, and maturity dates from July, 2020 to June, 2024. There are approximately $12 million of notes that are past due as of June 30, 2023.

j.Notes can be converted at the lesser of $2.5 per share or 25% discount to the opening price of the Company’s first day of trading on either Nasdaq or NYSE. In addition, if the Company fails to pay the Note in cash on maturity date, the conversion price will be adjusted to the lesser of (i) original conversion price or (ii) a 35% discount to the VWAP prior to each conversion date.
k.Some notes are not convertible until 180 days from the date of issuance of the Note and following an Event of Default will be convertible at the lowest trading price of the 20 days prior to conversion. The loan with a principal balance of $950,000 as of June 30, 2023 is guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, but the lender may only enforce this guarantee after certain conditions have been met, specifically after (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), (ii) the failure of the Company to cure the Default in 10 business days, and (iii) a failure by the Company to issue, or cause to be issued, shares of its common stock upon submission by the lender of a notice of conversion.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discounts indicated above of $1,404,631. The unamortized debt discounts as of June 30, 2023 related to the convertible notes amounted to $1,596,850.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the principal balance that is secured by the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, PBI Agrochem, Inc. is $352,188.

 

Standstill and Forbearance Agreements

 

In recent years, the Company entered into Standstill and Forbearance Agreements with lenders who hold variable-rate convertible notes. Pursuant to these agreements the lenders agreed to not convert any portion of their notes into shares of common stock at a variable rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company settled one note with total principal of $302,484, leaving one final lender (three notes) with total principal of $272,500 outstanding and incurred interest, penalties and fees of approximately $223,997 in connection with the Standstill and Forbearance Agreements.

 

 

Convertible Loan Modifications and Extinguishments

 

We refinanced certain convertible loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023 at substantially the same terms for extensions ranging over a period of two to six months. We amortized any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the modification date over the remaining, extended term of the new loans. We applied ASC 470 of modification accounting to the debt instruments which were modified during the quarter or those settled with new notes issued concurrently for the same amounts but different maturity dates. The terms such as the interest rate, prepayment penalties, and default rates will be the same over the new extensions. According to ASC 470, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different and will be accounted for as modifications.

 

The cash flows of new debt exceeded 10% of the remaining cash flows of the original debt on several loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we recorded gains on extinguishment of liabilities of approximately $0.7 million by calculating the difference of the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the old debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company extended 10 loans totaling $2,167,938 and increased the principal to $2,317,938. The Company issued 1,096,800 shares of common stock and 185 shares of preferred stock for these extensions and reduced principal.

Notes:

 

(1)Interest varies from 1% to 12%. The maturity is between being past due and May 25, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, $861,500 of the non-convertible debt is past due.
(2)The Company entered a COVID-19 government loan in 2020, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (or “EIDL”). The Company’s EIDL loan, $150,000, accrues interest at 3.75% and requires monthly payments of $731 for principal and interest beginning in December 2022. The balance of the principal will be due in 30 years. In connection with the EIDL loan the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA, whereby the Company granted the SBA a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $14,719 interest was deferred and added to principal on EIDL loan and the Company repaid $1,544 principal on this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $367,039 (two-year term and 1% interest rate per annum) under the Payroll Protection program (or “2020 PPP”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $367,039 through a second Payroll Protection program (or “2021 PPP”) and extended the monthly payment date on the EIDL to December 2022. In year 2021, both 2020 PPP and 2021 PPP was forgiven by the United States and SBA.
(3)During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 3.48% - 30.2% per month. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the Daily Payment Rate. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer guarantees the Company’s performance of all representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in the Agreement. For loans outstanding on June 30, 2023, the maturity dates ranged from July 26, 2023 to October 15, 2024. For loan outstanding on December 31, 2022, the maturity dates ranged from April 4 to June 6, 2023.

The Company shall not have an obligation to register the Conversion Shares of the shares of Series CC Preferred Stock that are issued pursuant to any exchange of previously issued securities.

 

Conversion Restriction. At no time may a holder of shares of Series CC Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series CC Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Conversion Restriction”); provided, however, that a holder may waive the Conversion Restriction by providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ notice that such holder is waiving the Conversion Restriction.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules and regulations, some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been shortened or omitted. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods shown have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring. These financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Global concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations including the estimates and assumptions made by management. Significant estimates and assumptions include valuations of share-based awards, investments in equity securities and intangible asset impairment. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes the beneficial conversion separation model for convertible debt. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer account for beneficial conversion features in equity. The guidance is effective for public business entities, other than small reporting company’s financial statements starting January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is a small reporting company and early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect of adoption equal to a $2,728,243 decrease in additional paid in capital and a $2,255,216 decrease in accumulated deficit. There is no material impact to the Company’s statements of operations or cash flows as the result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and did not significantly impact the Company’s accounting policies or estimation methods related to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not have any reserve for doubtful accounts due to its customers being distributors, universities, research organizations and government agencies. In the past several years, all its customers have paid in full without any need for a write-down.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We enter sales contracts that may consist of multiple distinct performance obligations where certain performance obligations of the sales contract are not delivered in one reporting period. We measure and allocate revenue according to ASC 606-10.

 

We identify a performance obligation as distinct if both the following criteria are true: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) and allocation of consideration from a contract to the individual performance obligations, and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition, is the result of significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as historical sales, usage rates, costs, and expected margin, which may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on our financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are in included in cost of revenues as consistent with treatment in prior periods.

 

Our current Barocycler® instruments require a basic level of instrumentation expertise to set-up for initial operation. To support a favorable first experience for our customers, upon customer request, and for an additional fee, we will send a highly trained technical representative to the customer site to install Barocyclers® that we sell, lease, or rent through our domestic sales force. The installation process includes uncrating and setting up the instrument, followed by introductory user training. Our sales arrangements do not provide our customers with a right of return. Any shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.

 

Most of our instrument and consumable contracts contain pricing that is based on the market price for the product at the time of delivery. Our obligations to deliver product volumes are typically satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to our customers. Concurrent with the transfer of control, we typically receive the right to payment for the shipped product and the customer takes on the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Payment terms require customers to pay shortly after delivery and do not contain significant financing components.

 

Revenue from scientific services customers is recognized upon completion of each stage of service as defined in service agreements.

 

We apply ASC 845, “Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions”, to account for products and services sold through non-cash transactions based on the fair values of the products and services involved, where such values can be determined. Non-cash exchanges would require revenue to be recognized at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold if any of the following conditions apply:

 

  a) The fair value of the asset or service involved is not determinable.
     
  b) The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.
     
  c) The transaction lacks commercial substance.

 

We recognize revenue for non-cash transactions at recorded cost or carrying value of the assets or services sold.

 

 

We account for lease agreements of our instruments in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. 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 accompanying 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.

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from service contracts for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue from service contracts is recorded ratably over the length of the contract.

Contract Costs

 

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The costs to obtain a contract are recorded immediately in the period when the revenue is recognized either upon shipment or installation. The costs to obtain a service contract are considered immaterial when spread over the life of the contract so the Company records the costs immediately upon billing.

 

Concentrations

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

Product Supply

 

In recent years we utilized a contract assembler for our Barocycler® 2320EXT. They provided us with precision manufacturing services that included management support services to meet our specific application and operational requirements. Among the services provided to us were:

 

  CNC Machining
  Contract Assembly & Kitting
  Component and Subassembly Design
  Inventory Management
  ISO certification

 

 

Beginning in July 2021, we brought the assembly of our Barocycler 2320EXT instruments in-house. This became necessary when our independent contract assembler (CBM Industries) informed us that they were about to need 100% of their assembly space for one of their customers (one of the largest life science instrument manufacturers in the U.S.). We worked with our notified body to gain approval to use both the CE and CSA marks on the instrument, which we received during Q3 2021. Until further notice, we expect to continue to assemble our Barocycler 2320EXT instrument at our South Easton, MA location.

 

We currently manufacture and assemble the Barocycler®, HUB440, HUB880, the SHREDDER SG3, and most of our consumables at our South Easton, MA facility. We will regularly reassess the tradeoffs between in-house assembly versus the benefits of outsourced relationships for of the entire Barocycler® product line, and future instruments.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

Investment in Equity Securities

 

As of June 30, 2023, we held 100,250 shares of common stock of Nexity Global SA, (a Polish publicly traded company).

 

We account for this investment in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

 

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated balance sheet reflected the fair value, determined on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of our investment in Nexity, to be $83,883. We recorded $20,245 as an unrealized gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 for changes in market value.

 

Computation of Loss per Share

Computation of Loss per Share

 

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

 

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense

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

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions we utilized for grants of stock options to the three sub-groups of our stock option recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

 

Summary of Assumptions for Grants of Stock Options

Assumptions  CEO, other Officers and Employees 
Expected life   6.0 (yrs)
Expected volatility   130.5 %
Risk-free interest rate   3.90 %
Forfeiture rate   0 to 5.00 %
Expected dividend yield   0.0 %

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 0% to 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.

 

All of the outstanding non-qualified options had an exercise price that was at or above the Company’s common stock share price at time of issuance.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $135,554 and $32,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,565,798 and $96,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectfully. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Cost of sales  $11,060   $2,161   $64,541   $6,510 
Research and development   35,289    9,395    205,909    28,304 
Selling and marketing   13,426    4,533    85,525    13,583 
General and administrative   75,779    15,985    1,209,823    48,160 
Total stock-based compensation expense  $135,554   $32,074   $1,565,798   $96,557 

 

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximate their fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

 

Fair Value Measurements

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. A slight change in an unobservable input like volatility could have a significant impact on fair value measurement.

 

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

 

 

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023:

Notes:

 

(1)Interest varies from 1% to 12%. The maturity is between being past due and May 25, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, $861,500 of the non-convertible debt is past due.
(2)The Company entered a COVID-19 government loan in 2020, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (or “EIDL”). The Company’s EIDL loan, $150,000, accrues interest at 3.75% and requires monthly payments of $731 for principal and interest beginning in December 2022. The balance of the principal will be due in 30 years. In connection with the EIDL loan the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA, whereby the Company granted the SBA a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $14,719 interest was deferred and added to principal on EIDL loan and the Company repaid $1,544 principal on this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $367,039 (two-year term and 1% interest rate per annum) under the Payroll Protection program (or “2020 PPP”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $367,039 through a second Payroll Protection program (or “2021 PPP”) and extended the monthly payment date on the EIDL to December 2022. In year 2021, both 2020 PPP and 2021 PPP was forgiven by the United States and SBA.
(3)During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 3.48% - 30.2% per month. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the Daily Payment Rate. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer guarantees the Company’s performance of all representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in the Agreement. For loans outstanding on June 30, 2023, the maturity dates ranged from July 26, 2023 to October 15, 2024. For loan outstanding on December 31, 2022, the maturity dates ranged from April 4 to June 6, 2023.

[1] Interest varies from 1% to 12%. The maturity is between being past due and May 25, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, $861,500 of the non-convertible debt is past due.
[2] During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 3.48% - 30.2% per month. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the Daily Payment Rate. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer guarantees the Company’s performance of all representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in the Agreement. For loans outstanding on June 30, 2023, the maturity dates ranged from July 26, 2023 to October 15, 2024. For loan outstanding on December 31, 2022, the maturity dates ranged from April 4 to June 6, 2023.
[3] The Company entered a COVID-19 government loan in 2020, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (or “EIDL”). The Company’s EIDL loan, $150,000, accrues interest at 3.75% and requires monthly payments of $731 for principal and interest beginning in December 2022. The balance of the principal will be due in 30 years. In connection with the EIDL loan the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA, whereby the Company granted the SBA a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $14,719 interest was deferred and added to principal on EIDL loan and the Company repaid $1,544 principal on this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $367,039 (two-year term and 1% interest rate per annum) under the Payroll Protection program (or “2020 PPP”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $367,039 through a second Payroll Protection program (or “2021 PPP”) and extended the monthly payment date on the EIDL to December 2022. In year 2021, both 2020 PPP and 2021 PPP was forgiven by the United States and SBA.
