NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business -Sigma Labs, Inc., formerly named Framewaves, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was founded by a group of scientists, engineers and businessmen to develop and commercialize novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. Sigma believes that some of these technologies will fundamentally redefine conventional quality assurance and process control practices by embedding them into the manufacturing processes in real time, enabling process intervention and ultimately leading to closed loop process control. The Company anticipates that its core technologies will allow its clientele to combine advanced manufacturing quality assurance and process control protocols with novel materials to achieve breakthrough product potential in many industries including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, bio-medical, and power generation. The terms the “Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sigma Labs, Inc.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2018 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassification - Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current-period financial statements.

Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying the Companies outstanding warrants, options or note conversion features were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At March 31, 2019 the Company had 3,400,610 warrants, 1,036,223 stock options and a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments is 4,461,833. At March 31, 2018 the Company had 1,645,500 warrants, 493,626 stock options and a $100,000 Convertible Note Payable outstanding. The total number of shares of common stock underlying these instruments is 2,139,126.

The following data shows the amounts used in computing loss per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months Ended March 31

Weighted average number of common shares Outstanding used in loss per share during the Period (denominator)		9,344,757			4,997,534

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - The FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated this standard and determined that it will not currently require any adjustment to Sigma’s financial reporting.

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

NOTE 2 - Notes Receivable

On May 1, 2017, the Company made a loan in the principal amount of $250,000 to Jaguar Precision Machine, LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company, pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated May 1, 2017 delivered by Jaguar to the Company. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, is due and payable in full on August 1, 2018, is secured by certain assets of Jaguar, and is convertible at the Company’s option into 10% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Jaguar unless Jaguar exercises its right under specified circumstances to repay all principal and accrued interest on the loan. On June 15, 2018, the Company received a $150,000 payment from Jaguar, $17,803 of which was applied to accumulated interest through that date and $132,197, the balance, of which, was applied to the principal balance of the note. On February 14, 2019 a principal payment of $15,000 was received. The holder of the promissory note has committed to paying the remaining principal balance along with accumulated interest on or before July 31, 2019. The March 31, 2019 principal balance of the note was $102,803 and the accumulated interest balance due was $5,671.

NOTE 3 - Notes Payable

At March 31, 2019 the Company had a $50,000 convertible note outstanding due on April 18, 2019. On April 15, 2019 the Company entered into an amendment to such note, extending the due date to October 18, 2019. At March 31, 2019 the accumulated interest balance on the note was $1,250. The accrued interest amount was paid to the holder in April 2019.

NOTE 4 - Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company issued 23,256 shares of common stock for services valued at $40,000.

In January 2019, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to directors valued at $1.50 per share, or $300,000, with such shares to vest ratably over four quarterly installments, subject in each case to such director’s continuing service as a director.

Also in January 2019, the Company issued 88,431 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of Unit Purchase Options issued in our June 2018 public offering.

In January and February 2019, the Company issued a total of 70,230 shares of common stock upon the exercise of 70,230 warrants having an exercise price of $1.08 resulting in gross cash proceeds of $75,848.

In March 2019, the Company issued 1,500 shares of common stock to the Company’s Vice President of Business Development in connection with his achievement of performance, with such shares vesting immediately.

Also in March 2019, the Company closed a public offering of equity securities in which it issued 1,400,800 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 420,240 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,679,230, after deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Deferred Compensation

In previous years and in the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued to various employees, directors, and contractors shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to restrictions, pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). Such shares were valued at the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value was expensed as compensation over the vesting period and recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, $78,000 and $21,217, respectively, of the unvested compensation cost related to these issues was recognized.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of unvested compensation to be recognized was $225,000 and $21,355, respectively, and is recorded as prepaid stock compensation as of those dates.

Stock Options

In October 2018, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 900,000 shares of our common stock to a total of 1,650,000 shares. As of March 31, 2019, an aggregate of 750 shares and 97,429 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan and the 2013 Plan, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 209,956 shares of common stock to 18 employees with vesting periods ranging from immediately upon issuance to 4 years beginning January 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 193,688 shares of common stock to 10 employees with vesting periods ranging from 22 days to 4 years beginning March, 2018.

The Company generally grants stock options to employees and directors at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates of grant. Stock options are typically granted throughout the year and generally vest over four years of service and expire ten years from the date of the award, unless otherwise specified. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options over the requisite service period for each stock option award.

Total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is $254,206 and $161,522, of which $176,206 and $140,305 is related to stock options, respectively.

The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Assumptions:

	2019			2018
Dividend yield		0.00			0.00
Risk-free interest rate		2.19-2.54	%		2.86-2.94	%
Expected volatility		105.2-106.1	%		137.2-137.3	%
Expected life (in years)		5			10

Option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:

				Weighted Average		Weighted Average
				Exercise		Remaining		Aggregate
				Price		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Options			($)		Life (Yrs.)		Value ($)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2017	299,938			4.57		6.03		-

Options expected to vest in the future as of March 31, 2019		425,893			2.18		5.94		78,339
Options exercisable at March 31, 2019		610,330			2.40		5.94		84,227
Options vested, exercisable, and options expected to vest at March 31, 2019		1,036,223			2.31		5.94		162,566

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for those awards that have an exercise price currently below the $1.68 closing price of our Common Stock on March 29, 2019. 165,208 of the 2019 option grants have an exercise price currently below $1.68.

At March 31, 2019, there was $414,562 of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share options with a weighted average remaining recognition period of 3.21 years.

Warrants

Warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

				Weighted Average		Weighted Average

NOTE 5 - Subsequent Events

In April and May of 2019, the Company granted our CEO and President two options to purchase up to 22,916 shares of our common stock under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan in connection with his employment arrangement. The options have an exercise price per share equal to $1.47 and $1.50, respectively, and each is fully vested.

On May 7, 2019, the Company closed a private placement offering of equity securities in which it issued 400,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $515,000, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

2019 Developments

In 2019, we reported several events, including the following (in reverse chronological order):

On May 14, 2019, we announced that we will launch Version 5.0 of our PrintRite3D ^® platform at the RAPID+TCT 2019 Additive Manufacturing Conference in Detroit on May 21-23, 2019.

On April 30, 2019, we announced that the Company’s PrintRite3D ^® software has been shown to ensure process consistency and product quality in metal additive manufacturing, according to a research study sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Open Manufacturing Program and conducted in tandem with Honeywell Aerospace at Honeywell’s Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Center. The paper, titled “LPBF [Laser Powder Bed Fusion] Right the First Time—the Right Mix Between Modeling and Experiments,” discusses the validation involved in manufacturing a challenging metal component.

On March 26, 2019, we announced the appointment of the Company’s new Business Development Manager, Americas, who will be responsible for developing key accounts through the Company’s Rapid Test and Evaluation Program and for bringing PrintRite3D INSPECT ^® into deployment across serial production operations in North and South America.

On March 15, 2019, we closed a public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,679,230, after deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

On February 26, 2019, we announced that we were named a member of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (“MTC”) located at Ansty Park, Coventry, UK. Being a member of the MTC enables us to share and provide expertise and solutions for a number of MTC’s projects and also network with MTC’s existing members, including some of the UK’s leading aerospace companies.

On February 12, 2019, we announced that we were named a member of the Additive Alliance of Fraunhofer IAPT, a leading network for AM. As the first US company to be granted a membership in the Alliance, Sigma became part of the global research consortium to advance the development and implementation of AM. The membership enables us to demonstrate our PrintRite3D technology to key players in the market of metal AM.

On February 5, 2019, we announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application No. 15/276,452, “Optical Manufacturing Process Sensing and Status Indication System.” The patent application covers a system of sensors configured to measure optical emissions generated by a scanning heat source during an additive manufacturing (AM) process and to analyze the data collected.

On January 17, 2019, we announced we were awarded a Test and Evaluation Program contract with a leading global materials and service provider in AM. The program is designed to demonstrate the value of Sigma’s PrintRite3D ^® product capabilities and performance and to validate and quantify the repeatability and variability of AM production processes.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

We expect to generate revenue primarily by selling and licensing our IPQA technologies, selling technical support services, contract manufacturing and selling specialty parts and studies to businesses that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes and production-run quality yields. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will depend on our ability to further commercialize and increase market presence of our PrintRite3D® technologies, and it will depend on whether key prospective customers continue to move from AM metal prototyping to production.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized revenue of $64,450, as compared to $103,415 in revenue recognized during the same period in 2018, a reduction of $38,965. $25,715 of the reduction is directly attributable to the absence of any government program work in 2019, while an additional $8,000 of it is attributable to the 100% dedication of our printer to Internal R&D in the first three months of 2019 as we accelerated development of the Inspect product.

Our Cost of Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $96,555 and $73,795, respectively, an increase of $24,685. The increased cost despite decreased revenue is primarily attributable to the additional travel and labor costs associated with the on-site and remote collaboration involved in initiation of the Company’s Rapid Test and Evaluation programs.

Sigma’s total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,507,098 as compared to $1,177,130 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $391,692.

Salary and benefits costs were $512,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $398,657 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $113,903. This 29% cost increase correlates to an increase of 5.7 full-time equivalent employees between the two periods which is a 45% increase in employee count.

Stock-based compensation was $254,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 comparted to $161,522 for the same period in 2018, a $92,684, or 57%, increase.

Research and development expenditures of $145,272 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $121,977 in the same period of 2018, a 19% increase. The increase primarily results from $18,796 of consulting fees paid to a visualization subject matter expert necessary for the development of Version 5.0 of our PrintRite3D ^® platform to be launched at the RAPID+TCT 2019 Additive Manufacturing Conference on May 21-23, 2019.

Outside services fees incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $342,359 compared to $318,822 incurred during the same period in 2018, a 7% increase.

Office expense is the other classification of expenditures that increased materially, $71,004, or 75%, in the first three months of 2019 compared to the first three months of 2018, to $166,110 from $95,106. The primary increases are for travel costs, $38,176, and hardware and software upgrades and additions, $20,009.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, our net other income & expense was a net income of $55,091 compared to net other expense of $23,366 in 2018. The 2019 net positive contribution results primarily from the receipt of a $51,877 New Mexico state job incentive credit. The 2018 expense was comprised of a $36,733 write-off of patent and patent application costs offset by interest income of $13,167 on the outstanding notes receivable.

Sigma’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $1,484,112 as compared to $1,170,876 for the same period of 2018, a $313,236 increase. The 2019 net operating loss contributed $391,693 to the loss increase which was reduced by the $78,457 increase in other income and expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, we had $1,907,362 in cash and working capital of $1,549,844, as compared with $1,279,782 in cash and working capital of $1,052,017 as of December 31, 2018.

Our major sources of funding have been proceeds from public and private offerings of our equity securities (both common stock and preferred stock), and from warrant exercises. On March 15, 2019, the Company closed a public offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,679,330.

During the remainder 2019, we expect to sustain our operations and our commercialization and marketing efforts without material increase in our cash burn rate. We expect that enhancements of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technology that were developed substantially in fiscal 2018 and brought to market commencing largely in November 2018 will enable us to further commercialize this technology for the AM metal market in 2019. However, until commercialization of our full suite of PrintRite3D® technologies, we plan to continue funding our development activities and operating expenses by licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and supporting field services, as applicable, and providing PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services concerning our areas of expertise (materials and manufacturing quality assurance and process control technologies) and contract manufacturing for metal AM, and through the use of proceeds from sales of our securities.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $1,066,769 from $612,249 during the same period in 2018, a $454,520 increase. Increased net loss contributed $256,223 toward this use of cash and increased inventory purchases contributed $133,109.

Net Cash Used/Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $60,829, which compares to $443,894 of cash provided by investing activities during the same period of 2018, a decrease of $504,723. This is primarily attributable to the March 2018 receipt of payment in full of a then outstanding $500,000 loan receivable.

Net Cash Used/Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $1,755,178 from $0 during the same period in 2018 due to the receipt of 1,961,220 of proceeds less $281,980 of offering costs, in connection with our March 2019 public offering and $75,848 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock in January and February of 2019. There were no financing activities in the first quarter of 2018.

The Company anticipates continued losses in 2019, due to expected increased revenues, offset by increased salaries and related expenses in connection with additional employees and potential acquisitions (although there are no agreements with respect to the acquisition by the Company of any third party, and there can be no assurance that any agreements will be entered into or, if entered into, that any acquisition or other transaction will be consummated).

We have no credit lines as of May 12, 2019, nor have we ever had a credit line since our inception.

Based on the funds we have as of May 14, 2019, and the proceeds we expect to receive from rapid test and evaluation engagements for our updated PrintRite3D® hardware and software technology, sales of contract AM manufacturing for metal AM parts, possible sales of our securities and from the repayment of loans made by Sigma, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to pay our administrative and other operating expenses through 2019. Our ability to continue to fund our liquidity and working capital needs will be dependent upon the success of and revenues from existing and future PrintRite3D®-proof of concept contracts, follow-on contracts resulting from successful proof of concept engagements, possible strategic partnerships, contract manufacturing orders in connection with our EOS M290, and possibly by obtaining additional capital from the sale of securities or by borrowing funds from lenders to fulfill our business plans. If we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. If we require and fail to obtain sufficient funding when needed, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate all or a portion of our commercialization efforts and operations.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, and our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
