INTRODUCTORY NOTE

In connection with the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we completed an internal review of the tax liability associated with the 2004 sale of assets and certain liabilities of our former core businesses, referred to herein as the BBI Core Businesses, to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. As a result of this review, we concluded that the tax liability related to discontinued operations recorded in the third quarter of 2005 was understated by approximately $220,000. We also determined that the deferred tax liability related to our investment in Panacos Pharmaceuticals (“Panacos”) was overstated by approximately $123,000 as of September 30, 2005.

As a result of the tax review, on May 17, 2006 our senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 should no longer be relied upon, and decided to restate our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and to restate our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Our management and Audit Committee discussed this with Weinberg & Company, P.A., our independent registered public accounting firm. On May 22, 2006, we filed our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and our Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2006. This Form 10-QSB/A for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with those documents.

As a result of the restatement, we have amended the following items of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the nine months ended September 30, 2005:
 
Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, has been amended to reflect the adjustment of our accounting for income taxes. Adjustments made impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, and Note 2 “Recent Accounting Standards”.
 
·
Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, has been amended to:
o  
reflect our explanation of the reduction of “Gain on Sale of Net Assets Related to Discontinued Operations”, relative to the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the future taxable income under the installment sale treatment for federal income tax purposes, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005;
o  
reflect our explanation of the reduction of “Net Income”, relative to the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the future taxable income under the installment sale treatment for federal income tax purposes, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005;
o  
reflect our explanation of the decrease in working capital within the section “Liquidity and Financial Condition”, to account for the current nature of the deferred tax liability related to the installment sale treatment on the sale of BBI Core Businesses;
o  
revise our disclosure of “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”, to explain our adoption of SFAS 154, relative to the correction of the errors we found in our accounting for income taxes.

We have also revised Part I, Item 3, Controls and Procedures, to reflect the conclusion of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2005. Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, Edward H. Myles, who was appointed on April 3, 2006, have included new certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are filed with this Form 10-QSB/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY BOSTON BIOMEDICA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

 (1) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Overview
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pressure BioSciences Inc. (formerly Boston Biomedica Inc. and referred to herein as the “Company”, “Pressure BioSciences” or “PBI”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PBI Biotech Research Laboratories, Inc. (formerly known as BBI Biotech Research Laboratories, Inc. and referred to herein as “PBI Biotech” or “BBI Biotech”), PBI Source Scientific, Inc. (formerly known as BBI Source Scientific, Inc. and referred to herein as “PBI Source” or “BBI Source”), and PBI BioSeq, Inc. (formerly known as BBI BioSeq, Inc. and referred to herein as “PBI BioSeq” or “BBI BioSeq”).
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pressure BioSciences have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (the “Form 10-KSB”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Effective September 14, 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 16, 2004, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between the Company, PBI Biotech Research Laboratories, Inc., and SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (“SeraCare”), the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and selected liabilities of its PBI Diagnostics and PBI Biotech divisions to SeraCare (the “Asset Sale”).  In connection with the Asset Sale, the Company changed its legal name from Boston Biomedica, Inc. to Pressure BioSciences, Inc. effective September 14, 2004.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to report the results of operations for the PBI Diagnostics and PBI Biotech divisions (also referred to as “business units”) as discontinued operations.
 
In June 2004, PBI Source Scientific, Inc. transferred certain of its assets and liabilities to a newly formed limited liability company known as Source Scientific, LLC. At the time of the transfer, PBI Source Scientific, Inc. owned 100% of the ownership interests of Source Scientific, LLC. PBI Source Scientific, Inc. subsequently sold 70% of its ownership interests of Source Scientific, LLC to Mr. Richard Henson and Mr. Bruce A. Sargeant pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Source Scientific Agreement”). As a result of the sale of 70% of PBI Source’s ownership interests, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant each own 35% and PBI Source owns the remaining 30% of Source Scientific, LLC.  Under the Source Scientific Agreement, the Company received notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $900,000 (the “Notes”) payable at the end of three years bearing 8% interest. Despite the Company’s intent to exit the laboratory instrumentation business, the Company may be viewed as having a continuing involvement in the business of Source Scientific, LLC due to the fact that the Company has the right to designate one or potentially three members of the Board of Managers of Source Scientific, LLC. Because of this factor, even though the transaction is treated as a divestiture for legal purposes, the Company has not recognized the transaction as a divestiture for accounting purposes in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5E, Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary or Other Business Operation . In accordance with SAB Topic 5E, the Company has recorded the assets and liabilities associated with the Source Scientific, LLC operation on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 under the captions “Assets transferred under contractual arrangements” and “Liabilities transferred under contractual arrangements” and has recorded a charge to income under the caption “Other operating (charges), net” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 equal to the amount of the loss attributable to the business of Source Scientific LLC for the respective periods presented. In accordance with SAB Topic 5E, the Company will continue this accounting treatment until circumstances have changed or until the net assets of the Source Scientific, LLC business have been written down to zero (or a net liability is recognized in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)).

PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY BOSTON BIOMEDICA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

As a result of the above transactions, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein, and the accompanying notes to such consolidated financial statements, report the results of the Company’s remaining operations, which consist of all pressure cycling technology ( PCT) related activities, including the PCT related activities of PBI Source, PBI BioSeq, and the portion of corporate activities directly associated with the Company’s remaining corporate functions including costs associated with being a public company.  As described above, operating results of PBI Source, excluding any PCT related activities, together with Source Scientific, LLC are reported as “Other operating charges, net” hereunder. The operating results of the Company’s PBI Diagnostics and PBI Biotech divisions, together with the results of the discontinued operations of the Company’s clinical laboratory testing services segment (sold in February 2001) are reported as “Discontinued Operations” hereunder.   Certain amounts included in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
To prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates were made in estimating future cash flows to quantify impairment of assets, in estimates regarding the realizability of loans (plus accrued interest) made to a director/Chief Executive Officer including sufficiency of collateral, deferred tax assets, the net realizable value of the Company’s inventory, as well as an estimate for remaining liabilities associated with discontinued operations.   On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used by management.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $6,090,097 invested in US Treasury money market funds and certificates of deposits which were in increments of less than $100,000 and insured under the FDIC.
 
The Company’s policy is to invest available cash in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing obligations, including money market funds and certificates of deposit.  Investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair market value.
 
The Company’s restricted cash of $163,296 consisted of payments from customers of its former business units who inadvertently remitted payments to the Company in error. The cash is deposited in the Company’s lockbox system, analyzed, and where appropriate, remitted to SeraCare in a timely fashion. The balances reflected are those affected by timing of funds transferred to SeraCare. At the time the cash is classified as restricted, a corresponding liability is established to have no effect on net assets of the Company.
 
Investment in Marketable Securities
 
The Company’s investment in marketable securities reflects its holdings of common stock of Panacos Pharmaceuticals Inc. (formerly V.I. Technologies (“Vitex”)), a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq National Market.  The Company held shares in Panacos Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Panacos), a private company prior to its merger with Vitex in March 2005, and this investment was reflected on a cost basis as presented on the December 31, 2004 financial statements.  As a result of Vitex’s merger with Panacos Pharmaceuticals in March 2005, and the Company’s subsequent receipt of shares of Vitex common stock in exchange for all of its shares of Panacos, the Company’s investment commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2005 has been accounted for under SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, as available for sale. At September 30, 2005 the fair value of the Company’s remaining shares of Panacos common stock was approximately $6.7 million based on the closing price of $9.74 per share of Panacos common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on September 30, 2005 (See Note 11).
 
Stock-Based Compensation

PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY BOSTON BIOMEDICA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
 
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, the intrinsic value method is used to account for stock options granted to employees. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123).
 
As the Company accounts for its plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, no compensation cost has been recognized under SFAS 123 because the exercise price of employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded.  SFAS 123 was amended by SFAS 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure”, which requires companies to disclose in interim financial statements the pro forma effect on net income per common share of the estimated fair market value of stock options or warrants issued to employees. Had compensation cost for awards under those plans been determined based on the grant date fair values, consistent with the method required under SFAS 123, the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been impacted by the pro forma amounts indicated below:

On June 16, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or other equity awards made under the Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may award stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests in the Company to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries and to any other persons the Board of Directors determines to have made or is expected to make contributions to the Company. Since approval of the Plan, 360,000 options have been granted under the Plan.

Correction of Error

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which replaces APB 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and the reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. The Company has adopted SFAS 154 to correct an error made during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and discovered during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY BOSTON BIOMEDICA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
 
On March 15, 2006, the Company received $1,094,162 from Wells Fargo Corporate Trust Escrow Services, representing the remaining principal and interest held in escrow from the 2004 sale of the assets and certain liabilities of the BBI Core Businesses to SeraCare Life Sciences Inc., (“SeraCare”). The receipt of these funds triggered the recognition of taxable income, accounted for as an installment sale for federal income tax purposes. During the financial statement closing process for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, management determined that a deferred tax liability of approximately $220,000 should have been established during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the period in which the Company filed its federal income tax return. It was also determined that the Company’s deferred tax liability in connection with the unrealized gain on Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., should be reduced by approximately $123,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the impact to basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations was a decrease from $0.30 to $0.23 and from $0.30 to $0.22, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the impact to basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations was a decrease from $0.38 to $0.29 and from $0.36 to $0.27, respectively.

(2) Recent Accounting Standards
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. SFAS 123(R) requires all entities recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (e.g. stock options and restricted stock) granted to employees. This applies to all transactions involving the issuance of our own equity in exchange for goods or services, including employee services. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), all stock option awards to employees will be recognized as expense in the income statement, typically over any related vesting period. SFAS 123(R) carried forward the guidance from SFAS 123 for payment transactions with non-employees. The Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance date on April 14, 2005, to require public companies to adopt the standard as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. We will, therefore, be required to adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.
 
SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
 
1.
Modified Prospective Method under which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
2.
Modified Retrospective Method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
At this time, we have not determined which method of adoption we will use.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which replaces APB 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and the reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. The Company has adopted SFAS 154 to correct an error made during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and discovered during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

On March 15, 2006, the Company received $1,094,162 from Wells Fargo Corporate Trust Escrow Services, representing the remaining principal and interest held in escrow from the 2004 sale of the assets and certain liabilities of the BBI Core Businesses to SeraCare. The receipt of these funds triggered the recognition of taxable income, accounted for as an installment sale for federal income tax purposes. During the financial statement closing process for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, management determined that a deferred tax liability of approximately $220,000 should have been established during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the period in which the Company filed its federal income tax return. It was also determined that the Company’s deferred tax liability in connection with the unrealized gain on Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., should be reduced by approximately $123,000.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

(3) Discontinued Operations
 
(a) BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech Segments
 
On September 14, 2004, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and selected liabilities of its BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech divisions, previously classified as assets and liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2004, to SeraCare pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price of $30 million in cash of which $27.5 million was paid at the closing and the remaining $2.5 million was deposited in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement expiring in March 2006. Following the release to SeraCare of $1.4 million of the escrow funds to satisfy the final adjustment amount in February 2005, approximately $1.1 million remains in escrow until March 2006 to secure our continuing indemnification obligations for breaches of representations and warranties, covenants or other agreements that remain in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The amounts associated with the sale of these assets and selected liabilities to SeraCare are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements, in accordance with paragraphs 30 and 42 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
 
(b) Clinical Laboratory Testing Services Segment
 
In February 2001, the Company sold the business and certain assets and liabilities of its clinical laboratory business, BBI Clinical Laboratories, Inc. (“BBICL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to a third party for an adjusted purchase price of $8,958,000. The Company retained certain other assets and liabilities of BBICL, primarily property, plant and equipment, together with the facility lease subsequent to the closing date. The Company wrote down all of the retained assets not otherwise redistributed to other business units to their estimated net realizable value. The Company’s estimate of remaining short and long term accrued liabilities to exit the clinical laboratory testing business is approximately $89,000 as of September 30, 2005. The major component of this accrual is for potential tax audit adjustments associated with the sale of assets and the long term record retention of medical and related records. The statute of limitations for the relevant tax year lapses in the last quarter of 2005 and will be adjusted accordingly.
 
(4) Assets and Liabilities Transferred Under Contractual Arrangement
 
In June 2004, PBI Source Scientific, Inc. transferred certain of its assets and liabilities to a newly formed limited liability company known as Source Scientific, LLC. At the time of the transfer, PBI Source Scientific, Inc. owned 100% of the ownership interests of Source Scientific, LLC. PBI Source Scientific, Inc. subsequently sold 70% of its ownership interests of Source Scientific, LLC to Mr. Richard Henson and Mr. Bruce A. Sargeant pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Source Scientific Agreement”). As a result of the sale of 70% of PBI Source’s ownership interests, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant each own 35% and PBI Source owns the remaining 30% of Source Scientific, LLC. Under the Source Scientific Agreement, the Company received notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $900,000 (the “Notes”) payable at the end of three years bearing 8% interest. Despite the Company’s intent to exit the laboratory instrumentation business, the Company may be viewed as having a continuing involvement in the business of Source Scientific, LLC due to the fact that the Company has the right to designate one or potentially three members of the Board of Managers of Source Scientific, LLC. Because of this factor, even though the transaction is treated as a divestiture for legal purposes, the Company has not recognized the transaction as a divestiture for accounting purposes in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5E, Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary or Other Business Operation . In accordance with SAB Topic 5E, the Company has recorded the assets and liabilities associated with the Source Scientific, LLC operation on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 under the captions “Assets transferred under contractual arrangements” and “Liabilities transferred under contractual arrangements” and has recorded a charge to income under the caption “Other operating (charges), net” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 equal to the amount of the loss attributable to the business of Source Scientific for the respective periods presented. In accordance with SAB Topic 5E, the Company will continue this accounting treatment until circumstances have changed or until the net assets of the Source Scientific, LLC business have been written down to zero (or a net liability is recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2005 assets and liabilities transferred under contractual arrangement consist of the following:

(5) Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. Options that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation.
 
Potentially dilutive securities having a net effect of 113,798 and 44,606 common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are reflected below.  Options that are anti-dilutive of 24,500 and 79,000 common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share for these periods because to do so would have been antidilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities having a net effect of 131,233 and 80,898 common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were not included in the calculation as to do so would have been anti-dilutive. Options that were anti-dilutive of 46,540 and 6,001 for the three and nine months ended September 2004 was not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

(6) Related Party Transaction
 
In January 2002, the Company pledged the $1,000,000 interest bearing deposit at a financial institution to secure its limited guaranty of loans in the aggregate amount of $2,418,000 from the financial institution to an entity controlled by Richard T. Schumacher, a Director and the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer. In January 2003, the $1,000,000 held in the interest bearing deposit account pledged to the financial institution to secure the Company’s limited guaranty was used by the financial institution to satisfy its limited guaranty obligation to the financial institution. As of September 30, 2005, the Company maintained a $1.0 million loan receivable from Mr. Schumacher. The Company previously maintained a junior security interest in collateral pledged by Mr. Schumacher to the financial institution. The collateral includes all of Mr. Schumacher’s shares of PBI common stock. Following the payment in full by Mr. Schumacher of his loan to the financial institution in February 2005, the Company became the holder of a first priority security interest in 489,659 of Mr. Schumacher’s shares of common stock of Pressure BioSciences to secure the repayment of the Company’s $1,000,000 loan receivable together with associated accrued interest from Mr. Schumacher and are held as collateral. The collateral and personal assets of Mr. Schumacher may not be sufficient to permit the Company to fully recover the principal, interest and other costs associated with this loan receivable. If the value of the collateral decreases, the Company may have to write down or write off the loan receivable or associated accrued interest. Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that it will collect the full amount of the loan receivable. 
 
As of September 30, 2005, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the $1,000,000 loan receivable from Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, which is reflected on the balance sheet in stockholders’ equity as a loan receivable and any accrued interest as of September 30, 2005. In connection with the Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of the loan receivable as of September 30, 2005 the Company performed a test for impairment of the loan receivable by analyzing the value of the collateral. This test included, among other things, a review of the current trading price of the Company’s common stock after taking into account factors that may affect the Company’s ability to sell such stock in the event it were to foreclose on the collateral to repay the loan receivable and any accrued and unpaid interest. After performing the impairment test, the Company determined that the loan receivable was not impaired. The ultimate value that the Company may recover is dependent on numerous factors including the Company’s stock price, market conditions relative to the value of and ability to sell the collateral, and the financial status of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Based on the Company’s assessment as of September 30, 2005, the Company estimates that the value of the collateral approximates the amount of the recorded loan receivable.  If actual market conditions are less favorable, the Company’s stock price declines or other factors arise that are significantly different than those experienced as of September 30, 2005, an impairment of the loan receivable together with associated accrued interest is likely to be required.  The Company plans to continue to monitor and test the collateral for impairment due in large part to the relatively low trading volume of the Company’s common stock and recent volatility in our stock price, ranging from a low of $2.50 per share to a high of $6.70 per share from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
 
Leases
 
On May 5, 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Saul Holdings Limited Partnership to lease approximately 2,784 square feet of office space located at 209 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, Maryland for a term of twelve months with a base annual rent in the amount of $55,680, or $4,640 per month during the initial term of the lease, plus $1,245 per month for operating expenses.
 
Royalty Commitments
 
In 1998, the Company acquired all the remaining common stock outstanding of BioSeq Inc., a development stage company involved with PCT. In accordance with the provisions of a technology transfer agreement assumed in the transaction, the Company is obligated to pay a 5% royalty on net sales until March 2016 of future sales by the Company utilizing PCT. Net sales include the trade revenues related to units sold or leased as well as PULSE™ Tube revenues.  The Company announced the availability of its PCT products for commercial sale in the latter part of year 2002. The Company’s minimum royalty payment requirements ceased in the fourth quarter of 2003 in accordance with contractual provisions. The royalty obligation for the third quarter of 2005 was approximately $545.
 
Purchase Commitments
 
In June 2004, Source Scientific, LLC agreed to provide engineering, manufacturing, and other related services for the Company’s pressure cycling technology products until September 30, 2005. Under the agreement, it was estimated that reimbursement to Source Scientific, LLC by the Company was expected to be at the rate of $25,000 per month. Since the Company has met the minimum commitment under the agreement, and there are no future minimum payments, all obligations are contingent upon actual services being rendered to us by Source Scientific LLC.  The Company expects to continue to utilize the services of Source Scientific, LLC for the Company’s pressure cycling technology products on a purchase order basis.
 
Indemnifications
 
In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify SeraCare for any losses from breaches of most of the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants that occur prior to June 14, 2006. The Company’s indemnification obligations for breaches of some representations and warranties, however, extend for a longer period of time. The Company’s indemnification obligations are limited by an overall cap equal to the adjusted purchase price.

(FORMERLY BOSTON BIOMEDICA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
 
In November 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, SeraCare delivered the closing balance sheet, which reflected a deficiency of approximately $3.1 million when compared to the target net asset value of $8.5 million. The Company objected to certain calculations in the closing balance sheet, including, without limitation, SeraCare’s calculation of accounts receivable and inventory. In December 2004, the Company settled its dispute with SeraCare concerning the collectibility of accounts receivable sold to SeraCare in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company agreed that, solely for purposes of settling its dispute with SeraCare, $412,192 of accounts receivable would be deemed past due, therefore resulting in an adjustment to the purchase price requiring the Company to pay SeraCare that amount. The Company also agreed that the $412,192 deficiency would be released from the $2.5 million held in escrow; thereby leaving approximately $2.1 million remaining in escrow. In February 2005, the Company further agreed with SeraCare to settle the parties remaining differences relating to the closing balance sheet, including the calculation of inventory, by releasing to SeraCare an additional $1,000,000 from the escrow account. Additionally, the parties released all claims they may have had against the other with respect to the closing balance sheet and certain other representations and warranties contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement relating to the closing balance sheet items. Following the release of the escrow funds, approximately $1.1 million remains in escrow until March 2006 to secure the Company’s continuing indemnification obligations for breaches of representations and warranties, covenants or other agreements that remain in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The combined effect of these two settlements relating to the closing balance sheet resulted in a $1,412,192 reduction in the purchase price and a corresponding reduction in the gain on sale.
 
On March 22, 2005, the Company received a claim for indemnification from SeraCare relating to testing and other services performed by the Company for the University of Pittsburgh prior to the sale of the BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare.  The claim for indemnification is for an unspecified amount relating to the cost of retesting certain of the samples previously tested by the Company.  The Company believes the cost of retesting to be not material. However, this claim for indemnification, as well as the possibility of additional notices or claims for indemnification from SeraCare could reduce or eliminate altogether the amount the Company ultimately receives from the escrow account.  If the Company is required to pay an additional amount in excess of the escrow amount, the Company will have less cash available to fund its operations, its business may be harmed and, if it is subject to additional indemnification claims or unanticipated expenses or liabilities, it may be difficult to continue the Company’s business as planned unless it is able to obtain equity or debt financing.
 
(11) Investments in Marketable Securities
 
On March 11, 2005,V.I. Technologies Inc. (“Vitex”) announced that it had closed its merger with Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Panacos”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 2, 2004, as amended on November 5, 2004, November 28, 2004, December 8, 2004, and February 14, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”). The merger was approved by the stockholders of both Vitex and Panacos at their respective meetings on March 10, 2005. Panacos stockholders received an aggregate of approximately 227,500,000 shares of Vitex common stock, or slightly over 80% of the outstanding shares of Vitex Common Stock, after giving effect to the merger, and before giving effect to Vitex’s 1:10 reverse stock split, which was announced on March 14, 2005. The shares of Vitex common stock issued to the Panacos stockholders were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. Panacos stockholders received 6.75275 shares of Vitex common stock for each share of Panacos common or preferred stock held by them at the effective time of the merger. As a result of the merger and the subsequent reverse stock split, the Company owned 1,012,920 shares of Vitex common stock in place of its Panacos capital stock. Fifteen percent of Vitex stock owned by former owners of Panacos stock, including fifteen percent of the Vitex common stock owned by the Company, or 151,938 shares, is being held in escrow per the Merger Agreement until September 2006.
 
On August 18, 2005, V.I. Technologies formerly changed its company name to Panacos Pharmaceticals Inc. and changed its trading symbol on the Nasdaq National Market to “PANC”.  During July and August of 2005, the Company sold 328,986 shares of Panacos stock which resulted in a realized gain of $2,838,491 during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. 
 
On September 30, 2005, the closing price of Panacos common stock was $9.74 per share as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. As of September 30, 2005 the Company had remaining 683,934 shares of Panacos common stock, that includes 151,938 shares held in escrow noted above, which had a fair market value of $6,661,517.
 
(12) Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are comprised primarily of PCT related demonstration equipment, of which one PCT Barocycler TM NEP2017 unit has been placed with a third party pursuant to an open term rental agreement.  Depreciation on PCT demonstration units is allocated over the expected useful life of approximately two years.  Upon the Company’s sale of assets to SeraCare in September 2004 and establishment of new corporate offices, approximately $40,000 has been capitalized related to office furniture and computer and related communication equipment and $25,000 related to lab equipment. Property and equipment at September 30, 2005 consisted of the following:

In September 2005 we performed a review of our estimated 2005 tax liability which included our year to date operating loss, the Panacos shares sold during the third quarter of 2005, along with estimates for the remainder of the year and determined to apply the 2004 overpayment to the estimated 2005 tax obligation of $458,226, resulting in a net prepaid income tax of $189,253 as of the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
 
15) Income Tax Receivable
 
Pursuant to completing and filing its 2004 state tax returns, the Company recorded an income tax receivable of $122,666.  The overpayment is related to taxes paid to the State of Maryland and associated to the allocation of the 2004 sale of assets to SeraCare and estimated tax liability and payments made in December 2004. The Company has applied for a refund.
 
(16) Stockholders’ Equity

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
 
Overview
 
Following the closing of the sale of the assets and selected liabilities of BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech to SeraCare Life Sciences on September 14, 2004, the transfer of certain assets and liabilities of PBI Source Scientific, Inc. to Source Scientific, LLC and subsequent sale of 70% of our ownership interests of Source Scientific, LLC in June 2004, our operations now consist primarily of our pressure cycling technology (PCT) business. The results of operations discussed herein focus on the PCT business activities and the corporate functions associated with being a public company. Operating results of PBI Source Scientific, Inc., excluding any PCT related activities, together with Source Scientific, LLC, are reported as “Other operating charges, net” hereunder. The operating results of our BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech divisions prior to their sale on September 14, 2004, together with the results of the discontinued operations of our clinical laboratory testing services segment (sold in February, 2001), are reported as “Discontinued Operations” hereunder. Certain amounts included in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
Our pressure cycling technology uses an instrument that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and high levels at controlled temperatures to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of biomolecules. PCT utilizes our Barocycler™ instrument and disposable PULSE™ Tubes to release nucleic acids and proteins from plant/animal cells and tissues, as well as other organisms that are not easily disrupted by standard chemical and physical methods. We believe that our patented and proprietary pressure cycling technology employs a unique approach that has the potential for broad applications in a number of established and emerging fields, including genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and development, protein purification, pathogen inactivation, immunodiagnostics, food safety, and DNA sequencing.
 
To date, we have primarily applied PCT to the area of sample preparation for genomics and proteomics. We have also developed scientific collaborations with several leading laboratories and academic institutions in the United States, which we expect will remain ongoing in 2005 and beyond. We further expect that the data generated by our collaborators will be publicly released in scientific publications and presentations, and that this could have an important positive impact on future sales of our PCT products. We have investigated the use of PCT for the inactivation of pathogens in human blood plasma, therapeutics, and diagnostic reagents and believe we have demonstrated the technical feasibility of applying PCT to immunodiagnostics, protein purification, pathogen inactivation, food safety, and DNA sequencing. We have obtained thirteen US and four foreign patents containing multiple claims covering the foregoing areas.
 
As of September 30, 2005 we have invested in excess of $12.4 million in the development of our pressure cycling technology since 1997, with the funds coming from both internal and public sources. To date, we have received seven Small Business Innovative Research (“SBIR”) grants from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) aggregating approximately $2,000,000 (including two SBIR Phase II grants each in excess of $750,000) to develop PCT in the areas of microbial inactivation, sample processing, and Mycobacterium sample preparation. Most recently, in May 2004 we were awarded a $150,000 SBIR Phase I grant to study the use of PCT in applications to combat bio-terrorism. We have recently submitted proposals for three additional SBIR research grants and one non-SBIR grant and intend to continue to submit proposals to obtain grants in the future.  The review process generally takes six months for a proposal to receive feedback regarding the grants.
 
In September 2002, we released for sale our first commercial PCT instrument, the Barocycler™ NEP 2017. In 2002, we also released for sale PULSE™ Tubes, which are single-use, disposable processing and storage tubes that work in conjunction with the Barocycler™ NEP 2017. Sales of these products have been extremely limited. To date we have leased one and sold two pressure cycling technology systems (“PCT Sample Preparation System”) and a limited number of PULSE™ Tubes. We believe that sales of our pressure cycling technology products have been adversely affected primarily as a result of the following factors: (1) the initial design and selling price of the Barocycler™, (2) the limited amount of research data available demonstrating its capabilities and potential, (3) the absence of a strong sales and marketing management team, (4) the absence of a strong promotional campaign after the commercial release of the Barocycler™ NEP 2017, (5) the inability to execute our sales plan as a result of financial constraints prior to 2005, (6) current US economic conditions and uncertainties which negatively affected capital spending on laboratory instruments, (7) the financial condition of our company during 2003 and 2004, (8) the focus of our resources on other projects, including the sale of our BBI Diagnostics, BBI Biotech, and selected assets and liabilities of our laboratory instrumentation business units, a process that began in October 2002 and was completed in September 2004, (9) the time required to complete post-transaction issues related to the sale of BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech, and (10) the effort required during 2005 to restructure the Company including the effort to build a new corporate infrastructure.
 
To address some of these factors associated with the disappointing sales of the Barocycler™ NEP 2017, we have developed a less expensive and smaller, bench top version of the Barocycler™, the NEP 3229, which we expect will facilitate an easier and quicker purchase decision by potential customers. We have also generated additional research data to support our sales efforts. We believe that the new bench top Barocycler™ will fill an immediate and growing need in the genomics and proteomics sample preparation market for a smaller, more affordable instrument that still provides the quality, reproducibility, and safety of the NEP 2017 PCT Sample Preparation System.
 

19


To increase market awareness of our products, in June 2005 we initiated a program to place up to twelve Barocycler™ NEP3229 units in selected strategic customer sites by December 31, 2005 for a three month trial period, a period of time that we believe is sufficient to provide potential customers with the opportunity to develop and collect independent and objective data and statistical information. We believe that we will be able to generate sales of our products from these customers after the customer experiences the performance, reliability, and safety of the sample preparation process provided by the PCT Sample Preparation System. After the trial period, it is our expectation that a number of users will either purchase or lease the PCT Barocycler™ instrument.
 
From June to September 2005, we installed four bench top instruments under a “reagent rental agreement”, whereby the “collaborating sites” have full use of the instrument in their own facility, have agreed to purchase a certain number of PULSE™ Tubes over the trial period, and have further agreed to use the PCT Sample Preparation System to generate data for public dissemination.  In October 2005, we installed an additional two units in collaborating sites under the reagent rental Agreement. In September 2005 we received the first purchase order for the PCT Sample Preparation System, which the Company delivered and installed on October 6, 2005. On November 1, 2005, we received a signed lease agreement for a second instrument.  The Company believes that it will be successful in placing the remaining units prior to December 31, 2005.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
 
Revenue
 
We had total revenue of $11,742 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $68,901 for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
 
PCT products & services:   Product revenue totaled $11,742 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $2,383 for the corresponding period of 2004. Product revenue in 2005 and 2004 includes lease payments from one customer and sales in 2005 of PULSE™ Tubes to five customers in association with the collaboration agreements noted previously. There were no Barocycler™ sales in the quarters ended September 30, 2005 or September 30, 2004.
 
Grant Revenue:  Grant revenue has consisted predominately of SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) funding activity through the National Institutes of Health. Grant revenue is reflective of high research and development costs, and consists predominately of “cost plus” contacts.  There was no grant revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $66,518 for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in PCT grants and services revenue was primarily related to the completion of work in early and mid-2004 on two Phase-II SBIR Grants resulting in a lower level of research conducted under these grants.  We expect to continue to submit new SBIR and other research grant proposals to fund future research. The review process generally takes six months for a proposal to receive feedback regarding the grants.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we placed 3 additional bench top instruments under a “reagent rental agreement”, whereby the “collaborating sites” have full use of the instrument in their own facility, have agreed to purchase a certain number of PULSE™ Tubes over the trial period, and have further agreed to use the PCT Sample Preparation System to generate data for public dissemination.
 
Cost of PCT Products and Services
 
The cost of PCT products and services was $33,966 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $20,654 for the comparable period in 2004. The increase in 2005 was primarily the result of a higher sales volume of PULSE™ Tubes related to increased PULSE™ Tube revenues, transportation costs related to rental units of Barocycler™ units pursuant to reagent rental agreements, and the inclusion of field support and deployment costs related to the placement of collaboration site units.
 
Cost of Grant Revenue
 
We did not perform any services or incur any costs under grant projects during the third quarter of 2005.  Costs of grant projects billed in the third quarter of 2004 are included in research and development.
 

20


Research and Development
 
PCT related research and development expenditures decreased to $156,529 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $239,315 for the comparable period of 2004.  The decrease was primarily due to the lower level of research and development expenditures on SBIR grants as described above, reduced headcount, and more efficient expenditures on the development of the new bench top Barocycler™ through our outsourcing partner, Source Scientific, LLC. As described elsewhere, in connection with the Source Scientific Agreement, Source Scientific, LLC agreed to provide engineering, manufacturing, and other related services for our pressure cycling technology products until September 30, 2005.  Since we have met the minimum commitment under the agreement, and there are no future minimum payments; all obligations are contingent upon actual services being rendered to us by Source Scientific LLC. We do expect to continue to utilize the services of Source Scientific, LLC for the continued development and manufacture of the Company’s pressure cycling technology products.
 
Selling and Marketing
 
PCT related selling and marketing expenses increased to $39,954 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $12,278 for the comparable period of 2004, an increase of $27,676. This increase was due to higher headcount, increased attendance at trade shows, and the cost of placement activities for collaboration sites.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative costs totaled $320,195 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $140,597 for the comparable period of 2004, an increase of $179,598.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount, costs of a new corporate office, and other infrastructure expenses not present in the same quarter 2004.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
In conjunction with the Asset Sale on September 14, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to extend the termination date of all stock options granted to employees of BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech to the later of 90 days from the closing of the SeraCare transaction or the termination of the contemplated tender offer. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 44, we recognized non-cash stock-based compensation of $281,737 in the third quarter of 2004.  There were no charges for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
 
Operating Loss from Continuing Operations
 
The operating loss of the PCT business was $538,902 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to an operating loss of $625,680 for the comparable period in 2004, a decrease in loss of $86,778. The decrease in the operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 was primarily due to higher charges in 2004 related to the non-cash stock based compensation charge referred to above offset somewhat by increased selling and general administrative expenses.
 
Gain on Sale of Securities
 
In the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a gain on the sale of 328,986 shares of our Panacos Pharmaceuticals shares available for sale (formerly V.I. Technologies).  The shares sold in the three month period generated a gain of $2,838,491.  We recorded a tax liability related to the sale of the securities in the quarter of $1,088,360 reflected in tax provision. As indicated in our press release of August 9, 2005, we continue to monitor the stock price and sales volume of Panacos, and may decide to sell additional shares from time to time.

The non-PCT related activities of PBI Source Scientific, Inc., which reflects the activity of Source Scientific, LLC, had an operating loss of $140,648 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to an operating loss of $30,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increased loss was the result of lower revenues caused by a delay in orders at Source Scientific LLC.
 
Interest Income / (Expense)
 
Interest income totaled $62,699 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  There was no interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  Interest income totaled $11,705 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 which was offset by interest expense of $18,483 for the same period. Increased interest income was in part the result of interest earned on investments from the proceeds associated with the sale of our BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare and interest earned on cash proceeds related to the sale of shares in Panacos Pharmaceuticals’ stock.

21

 
In the third quarter of 2005, we have recognized the benefit of accrued interest paid related to the Director / CEO’s loan receivable in the amount of $21,147. In 2004, accrued interest related to the loan receivable was not recognized.  Additionally, in 2004 we incurred an interest payment on a previous line of credit totaling $18,483.
 
Income Taxes
 
In the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we recorded a net tax provision of $912,671.  We recorded a tax provision of $1,088,360 as a result of the sale of securities which was somewhat offset by a tax benefit of $175,689 related to the operating loss for the period.  There was no benefit recorded in the same quarter of 2004.
 
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
 
The amounts associated with the sale of our BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements, in accordance with paragraphs 30 and 42 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” as previously described above.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the net loss from discontinued operations was $3,340, as compared to a net loss of $440,212 for the same period in 2004.  The decrease in net loss from discontinued operations is a result of negative operating margin generated from revenues realized of our former BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units included in the September 2004 quarter. These businesses are not part of our operations in 2005.
 
Gain on Sale of Net Assets Related to Discontinued Operations
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a benefit of $701,699 for the overpayment of 2004 taxes related to the sale of net assets in 2004.  The impact resulted from the utilization of favorable treatment of tax credits, utilization of installment sale tax treatment related to sale of assets, and treatment of the sale of the Company’s 70% interest in Source Scientific LLC.   For the third quarter of 2004, we recorded a benefit for the sale of the BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units of $15,868,025 net of tax estimates of $3,925,200.
 
Net Income
 
Overall, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we realized net income of $2,007,328 compared to net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 of $14,764,743 for reasons outlined above.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
 
Revenue
 
We had total revenue of $21,984 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $304,993 for the nine months ended June 31, 2004, a decline of $283,009.
 
PCT products & services:   Product revenue totaled $21,984 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $12,939 for the corresponding period of 2004. Product revenue in 2005 and 2004 included lease payments from one customer and sales of PULSE™ Tubes from several customers pursuant to the collaboration agreements in place. There were no Barocycler™ sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 or 2004.
 
Grant Revenue: Grant revenue has consisted predominately of SBIR funding activity through the National Institutes of Health. There was no grant revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $292,054 for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in PCT grants and services revenue was primarily related to the completion of work in 2004 on two Phase-II SBIR Grants resulting in a lower level of research conducted under SBIR research grants in 2005.  We expect to continue to submit new SBIR and other research grant proposals to fund future research. The review process generally takes six months for a proposal to receive feedback regarding the grants.

22

 
Cost of Grant Services
 
We did not perform any services or incur any costs under grant projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Costs related to grant activities in 2004 have been included in research and development.
 
Cost of PCT Products and Services
 
The cost of PCT products and services was $61,653 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $55,673 for the comparable period of 2004. The increase in 2005 was primarily the result of a higher sales volume of PULSE™ Tubes related to increased PULSE™ Tube revenues,  amortization costs related to rental units of Barocycler™ units pursuant to reagent rental agreements, and the inclusion of increased field support and deployment costs related to the placement of collaboration site units.
 
Research and Development
 
PCT related research and development expenditures decreased to $374,147 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $672,087 for the comparable period of 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the lower level of research and development expenditures related to the SBIR grants as described above, reduced headcount, and decreased expenditures on the development of the new bench top Barocycler™ through our outsourcing partner, Source Scientific, LLC. As described elsewhere, in connection with the Source Scientific Agreement, Source Scientific, LLC agreed to provide engineering, manufacturing, and other related services for our pressure cycling technology products until September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we incurred charges of approximately $170,000.
 
Selling and Marketing
 
PCT related selling and marketing expenses decreased to $93,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $138,158 for the comparable period of 2004. The decrease was due to reduced headcount, a reduction in trade shows attended in first half of 2005 verses 2004, and lower production of marketing materials.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $1,361,157 compared to $762,597 for the same period of 2004, an increase of $598,560.   This increase was primarily due to a compensation charge of $400,000 relating to payments made to Mr. Schumacher (i) as a reimbursement of costs and expenses, as well as lost wages and severance benefits, resulting from his termination of employment in February 2003, and (ii) as a bonus to reward Mr. Schumacher for his valuable contributions to the Company and our stockholders in the overall restructuring and repositioning of our company over the past two years. In addition, we provided reimbursement of $94,985 in the first quarter of 2005 to Mr. Schumacher for certain legal bills incurred relative to his termination as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PBI on February 13, 2003.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
In conjunction with the Asset Sale on September 14, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to extend the termination date of all stock options granted to employees of BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech to the later of 90 days from the closing of the SeraCare transaction or the termination of the contemplated tender offer. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 44, we recognized non-cash stock-based compensation of $281,737 in the third quarter of 2004.
 
There were no charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
 
Operating Loss from Continuing Operations
 
The operating loss of the PCT business was $1,868,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to an operating loss of $1,605,259 for the comparable period in 2004. The increase in the operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 was primarily due to increased general and administrative costs as described above, together with the establishment of basic infrastructure to support the new corporate office.

23

 
Gain on Sale of Securities
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a gain on the sale of 328,986 shares of our Panacos Pharmaceuticals shares. The shares sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 generated a gain of $2,838,491. We recorded a tax liability from the sale of the securities in the nine month period of $1,088,360.  As of September 30, 2005, we had a total of 683,934 Panacos shares remaining, including shares held in escrow of 151,938.  As indicated in our press release of August 9, 2005, we continue to monitor the stock price and sales volume of Panacos, and may decide to sell additional shares from time to time.
 
Other Operating (Charges) net
 
The non-PCT related activities of PBI Source Scientific, Inc., which reflects the activity of Source Scientific, LLC, had an operating loss of $528,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to an operating loss of $333,607 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increased loss was the result of lower revenues caused by a delay in orders and reduced margins generated by Source Scientific LLC.
 
Interest Income / (Expense)
 
Interest income totaled $187,559 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  There was no interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 we had $15,243 of interest income offset by $69,453 of interest expense incurred as interest payment on a previous line of credit terminated in September 2004.  Increased interest income was in part the result of interest earned on investments from the proceeds associated with the sale of our BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare and interest earned on cash proceeds related to the sale of shares in Panacos Pharmaceuticals’ stock.
 
Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we have recognized the benefit of accrued interest paid related to the Director / CEO’s loan receivable in the amount of $69,453. In 2004, accrued interest related to the loan receivable was not recognized.
 
Income Taxes
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we recorded a net tax provision of $457,535 on income from continuing operations, as compared to a benefit in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $244,036 related to our operating losses from continuing operations. We recorded a tax provision of $1,088,360 as a result of the sale of securities which was somewhat offset by a tax benefit of $630,825 related to the operating loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2005.  In 2004, as a result of the sale of certain assets and liabilities to SeraCare, and the resulting gain on the sale, we estimated and paid taxes of approximately $3.2 million.  Historically, we maintained a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets largely comprised of temporary differences in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 and in consideration of three consecutive years of losses from continuing operations. We elected to record a tax benefit at this time as we anticipate utilizing the tax benefit from operating losses to mitigate the tax effect related to the gain on sale of Panacos securities sold.
 
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
 
The amounts associated with the sale of our BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units to SeraCare are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements, in accordance with paragraphs 30 and 42 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” as previously described above.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the net income from discontinued operations was $1,995, as compared to net income of $140,946 for the same period in 2004.  The decrease in net income from discontinued operations is a result of operating margin generated from revenues of our former BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech business units realized and included in the September 2004 quarter. These businesses are not part of our operations in 2005.
 
Gain on Sale of Net Assets Related to Discontinued Operations
 
In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a benefit of $701,699 for the overpayment of 2004 taxes related to the sale of net assets in 2004.  The impact resulted from the favorable treatment of ACE credits, utilization of installment sale tax treatment related to sale of assets, and tax treatment of our sale of our 70% interest in Source Scientific LLC.   For the same nine month period of 2004, we recorded a benefit for the sale of the BBI Diagnostics and BBI Biotech operating units of $15,868,025 net of tax estimates of $3,925,200.

Net Income
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we realized net income of $875,361 compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $14,259,931 for the reasons discussed above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
As of September 30, 2005, our working capital position was $7,134,631 (excluding restricted cash of $163,296), a decrease of $13,840,935 from our working capital position of $20,975,566 as of December 31, 2004. This decrease in working capital was primarily a result of the use of cash for the repurchase of shares from stockholders as part our tender offer in February 2005.
 
Net cash used in continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2,321,346 as compared to net cash used by operations of $1,180,743 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The cash used in operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was to support on-going operations.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2,776,512.  The sale of Panacos shares provided $2,841,510 in the third quarter, while funds of $64,998 were utilized to purchase property and equipment associated with the new corporate headquarters office in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts and our new laboratory and office space in Gaithersburg, Maryland, along with laboratory equipment for the Gaithersburg facility.
 
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $16,437,342 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $2,416,727 for same period of 2004. In February 2005, we utilized approximately $16.3 million to complete our issuer tender offer in which we purchased from stockholders 5,203,001 shares of our common stock, which included 754,275 shares issued upon exercise of stock options.
 
Net cash provided by discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $870,483 as compared to net cash provided from discontinued operations of $28,225,626 for same period of 2004.  The decrease in net cash from discontinued operations in 2005 was the result of the generation of cash from the sale of net assets in September 2004.
 
Investment in Panacos Pharmaceuticals (former V.I. Technologies Investment)
 
On June 11, 2005, V.I. Technologies, Inc. (“Vitex”) announced that it had closed its merger with Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Panacos”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 2, 2004, as amended on November 5, 2004, November 28, 2004, December 8, 2004, and February 14, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result of the merger and a subsequent reverse stock split, we received 1,012,920 shares of Vitex common stock in place of our Panacos capital stock. Fifteen percent of Vitex stock owned by former owners of Panacos stock, including fifteen percent of the Vitex common stock owned by us, are being held in escrow per the Merger Agreement. On September 30, 2005, the closing price of Panacos common stock was $9.74 per share as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. On August 18, 2005, V.I. Technologies formerly changed its company name to Panacos Pharmaceuticals Inc. and changed its trading symbol on the Nasdaq National Market to “PANC”.
 
In July and August 2005 we sold an aggregate of 328,986 shares of Vitex for which we received $2,841,510 in cash proceeds, net of charges and commission.  On November 3, and November 4, 2005 the Company sold an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Panacos stock for which we received approximately $882,990, net of charges and commission.  We continue to hold an additional 431,996 shares of Panacos and may receive an additional 151,938 shares which are being held in escrow until September 2006, per the terms of the Marth 10, 2005 merger between Vitex and Panacos Pharmaceuticals.  The closing price per share of Panacos common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on November 8, 2005 was $8.83.
 
Related Party Transaction
 
As of September 30, 2005, we evaluated the recoverability of a $1,000,000 loan receivable (originating January 1, 2003 at an average interest rate of 6.5% per annum) from Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, a Director and our current President and Chief Executive Officer, which is reflected on our balance sheet in stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2005. Our review included an evaluation of the collateral associated with the loan, which consists of common stock of Pressure BioSciences. In February 2005, Mr. Schumacher repaid in full a loan outstanding between an entity controlled by him and a financial institution with proceeds from the sale of 130,000 shares of our common stock in connection with our tender offer completed on February 11, 2005. As a result, we currently maintain a first priority security interest in this collateral previously held by the financial institution, which currently consists of 489,659 shares of common stock of Pressure BioSciences.

25

 
In connection with the Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of the loan receivable as of September 30, 2005, the Company performed a test for impairment of the loan receivable by analyzing the value of the collateral. This test included, among other things, a review of the current trading price of the Company’s common stock after taking into account factors that may affect the Company’s ability to sell such stock in the event it were to foreclose on the collateral to repay the loan receivable and any accrued and unpaid interest. After performing the impairment test, the Company determined that the loan receivable was not impaired. The ultimate value that the Company may recover is dependent on numerous factors including the Company’s stock price, market conditions relative to the value of and ability to sell the collateral, and the financial status of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Based on the Company’s assessment as of September 30, 2005, the Company estimates that the value of the collateral approximates the amount of the recorded loan receivable.  If actual market conditions are less favorable, the Company’s stock price declines or other factors arise that are significantly different than those experienced as of September 30, 2005, an impairment of the loan receivable together with associated accrued interest is likely to be required.  The Company plans to continue to monitor and test the collateral for impairment due in large part to the relatively low trading volume of the Company’s common stock and recent volatility in our stock price, ranging from a low of $2.50 per share to a high of $6.70 per share from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. SFAS 123(R) requires all entities recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments (e.g. stock options and restricted stock) granted to employees. This applies to all transactions involving the issuance of our own equity in exchange for goods or services, including employee services. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), all stock option awards to employees will be recognized as expense in the income statement, typically over any related vesting period. SFAS 123(R) carried forward the guidance from SFAS 123 for payment transactions with non-employees. The Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance date on April 14, 2005, to require public companies to adopt the standard as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. We will, therefore, be required to adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.
 
SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
 
1.  
Modified Prospective Method under which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
2.
Modified Retrospective Method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
At this time, we have not determined which method of adoption we will use.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which replaces APB 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and the reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. The Company has adopted SFAS 154 to correct an error made during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and discovered during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

On March 15, 2006, the Company received $1,094,162 from Wells Fargo Corporate Trust Escrow Services, representing the remaining principal and interest held in escrow from the 2004 sale of the assets and certain liabilities of the BBI Core Businesses to SeraCare. The receipt of these funds triggered the recognition of taxable income, accounted for as an installment sale for federal income tax purposes. During the financial statement closing process for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, management determined that a deferred tax liability of approximately $220,000 should have been established during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the period in which the Company filed its federal income tax return. It was also determined that the Company’s deferred tax liability in connection with the unrealized gain on Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., should be reduced by approximately $123,000.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The critical accounting policies we utilized in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Part II, Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation”.  There have been no material changes to these policies since December 31, 2004, except as follows:
 
Investment in Marketable Securities
 
The Company’s investment in marketable securities reflects its holdings of common stock of Panacos Pharmaceuticals Inc. (formerly V.I. Technologies (“Vitex”)), a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq National Market.  The Company held shares in Panacos Pharmaceuticals (Panacos), a private company prior to its merger with Vitex in March 2005, and this investment was reflected on a cost basis as presented on the December 31, 2004 financial statements.  As a result of Vitex’s merger with Panacos Pharmaceuticals in March 2005, and the Company’s subsequent receipt of shares of Vitex common stock in exchange for all of its shares of Panacos, the Company’s investment commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2005 has been accounted for under SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, as available for sale. At September 30, 2005, the fair value of the Company’s remaining shares of Panacos common stock was approximately $6.7 million based on the closing price of $9.74 per share of Panacos common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on September 30, 2005.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
 
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, except that we entered into a lease agreement dated May 5, 2005 (the “Lease”) with Saul Holdings Limited Partnership, pursuant to which have agreed to lease approximately 2,784 square feet of office space located at 209 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877 for a term of twelve months.

Certain of these and other factors which might cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are more fully set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 and in the Company’s other reports and statements the Company files from time to time with the SEC.
 
 ITEM 3.  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 reports is 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 any 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 necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
In connection with the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we completed an internal review of our tax liability associated with the 2004 sale of assets and certain liabilities of our BBI Core Businesses to SeraCare. As a result of this review, we concluded that the tax liability related to discontinued operations recorded in the third quarter of 2005 was understated by approximately $220,000. In connection with our internal tax review, we also determined to reduce by approximately $60,000 the estimate of our deferred tax liability for the unrealized gain from our investment in Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and to increase by approximately $23,000 the income tax provision from continuing operations. We therefore decided to restate our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to reflect these changes. We have amended our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 to restate our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 restates our financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the filing of these amendments, we carried out a further evaluation, as of September 30, 2005, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (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 President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2005 in enabling us to record, process, summarize, and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period. We believe that the hiring of our new Chief Financial Officer, effective as of April 3, 2006, has enabled us to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are now effective.

As of March 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (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 President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

Other than the changes described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
