NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

1) Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

Pressure Biosciences, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “the Company”) develops and sells innovative, broadly enabling, high pressure-based platform technologies and related consumables for the worldwide life sciences, agriculture, food and beverage, and other key industries. Our solutions are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control bio-molecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). Historically, our primary focus has been in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications. In more recent years, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of our pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of our recently acquired, patented technology from BaroFold, Inc. (the “BaroFold” technology) to allow entry into the bio-pharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of our recently-patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and to (ii) prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.

On February 8, 2021, PBI announced plans to acquire the assets of a global eco-friendly agrochemical supplier. On April 14, 2021, PBI finalized terms and executed a new letter of intent to purchase the assets of the agrochemical supplier. This opportunity is attractive as it has the potential of readily producing significant revenue, as well as the potential to apply the UST technology to improve some of the product line. In July 2021, a newly-formed subsidiary of PBI, PBI Agrochem, leased a warehouse in Carson City, NV, and hired a warehouse manager.

2) Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of March 31, 2022, we do not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been successful in raising debt and equity capital in the past and as described in Notes 5 and 6. In addition we raised debt and equity capital after March 31, 2022 as described in Note 7. We have financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. Although we have successfully completed financings and reduced expenses in the past, we cannot assure you that our plans to address these matters in the future will be successful. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial statements of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules and regulations, some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been shortened or omitted. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods shown have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring. These financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	a)	The fair value of the asset or service involved is not determinable.

	b)	The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.

	c)	The transaction lacks commercial substance.

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

We account for lease agreements of our instruments in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. We record revenue over the life of the lease term, and we record depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the thirty-six-month estimated useful life of the Barocycler® instrument. The depreciation expense associated with assets under lease agreement is included in the “Cost of PCT products and services” line item in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Many of our lease and rental agreements allow the lessee to purchase the instrument at any point during the term of the agreement with partial or full credit for payments previously made. We pay all maintenance costs associated with the instrument during the term of the leases.

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

Contract Costs

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

Concentrations

Credit Risk

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

The following table illustrates the level of concentration as a percentage of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Product Supply

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

	●	CNC Machining

	●	Contract Assembly & Kitting

	●	Component and Subassembly Design

	●	Inventory Management

	●	ISO certification

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

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

Investment in Equity Securities

As of March 31, 2022, we held 100,250 shares of common stock of Nexity Global SA, (a Polish publicly traded company).

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

As of March 31, 2022, our consolidated balance sheet reflected the fair value, determined on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of our investment in Nexity, to be $79,114. We recorded $19,138 as an unrealized gain during the three months ended March 31, 2022 for changes in market value.

Computation of Loss per Share

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

The following table illustrates our computation of loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

	2022			2021
	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022			2021
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(4,671,834	)	$	(7,038,686	)

The following table presents securities that could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future. For all periods presented, the potentially dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because these securities would have been anti-dilutive to our net loss. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H and H2 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, Series K Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock are presented below as if they were converted into common shares according to the conversion terms.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We maintain equity compensation plans under which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options are granted to employees, independent members of our Board of Directors and outside consultants. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants

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

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

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

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

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 5% for awards granted based on historical experience and future expectations of options vesting. The Company used this historical rate as our assumption in calculating future stock-based compensation expense.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $64,483 and $61,237 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table summarizes the effect of this stock-based compensation expense within each of the line items of our costs and expenses within our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Cost of sales	$	4,349	$	5,053
Research and development		18,909		25,862
Selling and marketing		9,050		4,595
General and administrative		32,175		25,727
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	64,483	$	61,237

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) as it related to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

The Company generally defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. A slight change in an unobservable input like volatility could have a significant impact on fair value measurement.

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

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022:

			Fair value measurements at March 31, 2022 using:
	March 31, 2022		Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Total Financial Assets	$	79,114	$	79,114	$	-	$	-

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021:

			Fair value measurements at December 31, 2021 using:

4) Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to leases of one year or less.

Our corporate office is currently located at 14 Norfolk Avenue, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375. We are currently paying $6,950 per month, on a lease extension, signed on December 31, 2021, that expires December 31, 2022, for our corporate office. We expanded our space to include offices, warehouse and a loading dock on the first floor starting May 1, 2017 with a monthly rent increase already reflected in the current payments.

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

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

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

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

Following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2022:


2022	$	188,210
2023		149,299

Battelle Memorial Institute

In December 2008, we entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with the Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”). The licensed technology is the subject of a patent application filed by Battelle in 2008 and relates to a method and a system for improving the analysis of protein samples, including through an automated system utilizing pressure and a pre-selected agent to obtain a digested sample in a significantly shorter period of time than current methods, while maintaining the integrity of the sample throughout the preparatory process. In addition to royalty payments on net sales on “licensed products,” we are obligated to make minimum royalty payments for each year that we retain the rights outlined in the patent license agreement and we are required to have our first commercial sale of the licensed products within one year following the issuance of the patent covered by the licensed technology. After re-negotiating the terms of the contract in 2013, the minimum annual royalty was $1,200 in 2014 and $2,000 in 2015; the minimum royalties were $3,000 in 2016, $4,000 in 2017 and $5,000 in 2018 and each calendar year thereafter during the term of the agreement.

Target Discovery Inc.

In March 2010, we signed a strategic product licensing, manufacturing, co-marketing, and collaborative research and development agreement with Target Discovery Inc. (“TDI”), a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, we have been licensed by TDI to manufacture and sell a highly innovative line of chemicals used in the preparation of tissues for scientific analysis (“TDI reagents”). The TDI reagents were designed for use in combination with our pressure cycling technology. The companies believe that the combination of PCT and the TDI reagents can fill an existing need in life science research for an automated method for rapid extraction and recovery of intact, functional proteins associated with cell membranes in tissue samples. We did not incur any royalty obligation under this agreement in 2021 or 2020.

In April 2012, we signed a non-exclusive license agreement with TDI to grant the non-exclusive use of our pressure cycling technology. We executed an amendment to this agreement on October 1, 2016 wherein we agreed to pay a monthly fee of $1,400 for the use of a lab bench, shared space and other utilities, and $2,000 per day for technical support services as needed. The agreement requires TDI to pay the Company a minimum royalty fee of $60,000 in 2021 and $60,000 in 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company reported $17,700 and $28,200, respectively in TDI fees.

Severance and Change of Control Agreements

Each of Mr. Schumacher, and Drs. Ting, and Lazarev, executive officers of the Company, are entitled to receive a severance payment if terminated by us without cause. The severance benefits would include a payment in an amount equal to one year of such executive officer’s annualized base salary compensation plus accrued paid time off. Additionally, the officer will be entitled to receive medical and dental insurance coverage for one year following the date of termination.

Each of these executive officers, other than Mr. Schumacher, is entitled to receive a change of control payment in an amount equal to one year of such executive officer’s annualized base salary compensation, accrued paid time off, and medical and dental coverage, in the event of their termination upon a change of control of the Company. In the case of Mr. Schumacher, this payment would be equal to two years of annualized base salary compensation, accrued paid time off, and two years of medical and dental coverage. The severance payment is meant to induce the aforementioned executives to remain in the employ of the Company, in general; and particularly in the occurrence of a change in control, as a disincentive to the control change.

5) Convertible Debt and Other Debt

Convertible Debt

On various dates during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued convertible notes for a total of $1,114,738 which contained varied terms and conditions as follows: a) 5-12 month maturity date; b) interest rates of 12%; c) convertible to the Company’s common stock at issuance at a fixed rate of $2.50 or at variable conversion rates upon the Company’s up-listing to NASDAQ or NYSE or an event of default. These notes were issued with either shares of common stock or warrants to purchase common stock that were fair valued at issuance date. The aggregate relative fair value of the shares of common stock and warrants issued with the notes of $229,916 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the notes. We also evaluated the convertible notes for derivative liability treatment and determined that the notes did not qualify for derivative accounting treatment at March 31, 2022.

The specific terms of the convertible notes and outstanding balances as of March 31, 2022 are listed in the tables below.

As of March 31, 2022, one lender holds approximately $9.4 million of the $15.1 million convertible notes outstanding.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discounts indicated above of $794,242. The unamortized debt discounts as of March 31, 2022 related to the convertible debentures and other convertible notes amounted to $813,478.

Standstill and Forbearance Agreements

In recent years, the Company entered into Standstill and Forbearance Agreements with lenders who hold variable-rate convertible notes. Pursuant to these agreements the lenders agreed to not convert any portion of their notes into shares of common stock at a variable rate. The Company and two lenders ($673,528 outstanding principal at March 31, 2022) are negotiating in good faith to resolve the remaining loans.

In connection to these agreements, the Company incurred interest, penalties, and fees of approximately $202,050 in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Convertible Loan Modifications and Extinguishments

We refinanced certain convertible loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 at substantially the same terms for extensions ranging over a period of three to six months. We amortized any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the modification date over the remaining, extended term of the new loans. We applied ASC 470 of modification accounting to the debt instruments which were modified during the quarter or those settled with new notes issued concurrently for the same amounts but different maturity dates. The terms such as the interest rate, prepayment penalties, and default rates will be the same over the new extensions. According to ASC 470, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different and will be accounted for as modifications.

The cash flows of new debt exceeded 10% of the remaining cash flows of the original debt on several loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recorded losses on extinguishment of liabilities of approximately $0.6 million by calculating the difference of the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the old debt.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in convertible debt, net of unamortized discounts, during 2022:

Merchant Agreements

We have signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 10.8% per month. As illustrated in the following table, under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the disclosed Daily Payment Rate. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Guarantor”) is guaranteeing that the Company will perform its obligations under the Agreement. In no circumstance will Guarantor be asked or obligated to repay or be liable for the payment of any amount paid by Buyer to Seller, including, but not limited to, the Purchase Price.

The following table shows our Merchant Agreements as of March 31, 2022:

Schedule of Merchant Agreements

Inception Date	Purchase Price		Purchased Amount		Outstanding Balance		Payment frequency	Payment Rate		Deferred Finance Fees
February 10, 2022	$	120,000	$	157,560	$	67,285	Weekly		7,878.00	$	1,200
January 11, 2022	$	240,000	$	300,000	$	125,140	Weekly		11,112.00	$	-
December 21, 2021	$	400,000	$	520,000	$	268,775	Weekly		11,305.00	$	6,000
	$	760,000	$	977,560	$	461,200				$	7,200

The following table shows our Merchant Agreements as of December 31, 2021:

Inception Date	Purchase Price		Purchased Amount		Outstanding Balance		Payment frequency	Payment Rate		Deferred Finance Fees
December 21, 2021	$	400,000	$	520,000	$	390,120	Weekly		11,305.00	$	6,000
July 6, 2021		125,000		166,250		8,790	Daily		1,279.00		2,500
	$	525,000	$	686,250	$	398,910				$	8,500

We have accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day.

Related Party Notes

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received short-term non-convertible loans of $195,250 from related parties, which bear interest rates of 12% and are due upon demand.

OVERVIEW:

We are a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based platform solutions for the worldwide life sciences industry. Our solutions are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to control bio-molecular interactions safely and reproducibly (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). Our primary focus has historically been in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of our pressure-based technology expertise in two new platform technology areas: (1) the use of our patented technology from BaroFold, Inc. for gently controlled disaggregation and refolding of biotherapeutic proteins (the “BaroFold” technology) to allow entry into the bio-pharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of our recently-patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) for greatly improved cost-effectiveness, high bioavailability, safer and improved sensory experience in products spanning pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, personal care products, agrochemicals, food/beverage and many industrial products and to (ii) prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.

Developments and Accomplishments:

We reported the following accomplishments during 2022:

	●	On May 4, PBI announced the first nanoemulsions manufacturing agreement under recently released UST Early Access Program

	●	On April 27, PBI announced the availability of the Early Access Program for UST nanoemulsion processing platform.

	●	On April 5, PBI announces strong FY 2021 Financial and Operational Successes: FY 2021 revenue increased 64% over FY 2020, UST platform achieved critical goals – discussions ongoing with key leaders in multiple markets, and PCT/BaroFold/PBI Agrochem groups all reported important gains in FY 2022.

	●	On March 17, PBI updates stakeholders with solid progress on key 2022 goals.

	●	On March 10, Emerging Technology Insider releases TechTalks video interview featuring PBI President Ric Schumacher, discussing OSU partnership, Food Industry Consortium, and commercialization of UST Platform. The interview can be found here: TechTalks Video

	●	On March 3, Ohio State announced they had installed & commissioned new pilot-scale UST processing equipment from PBI for the preparation of higher quality and safer liquid foods and beverages.

	●	On January 27, PBI’s UST Platform achieves key commercialization milestone with Installation and commissioning of production-scale BaroShear UST System at Ohio State to serve the food industry.

Results of Operations

The following disclosure compares the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (“Q1 2022”) with March 31, 2021 (“Q1 2021”).

Products and Services Revenue

We recognized total revenue of $480,000 for Q1 2022 compared to $559,874 for Q1 2021, a 14% decrease. The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to a $135,000 decrease in sales of PCT instrumentation and consumables which was offset by $83,292 of revenue from PBI Agrochem products (which were new in 2022).

Cost of Products and Services

The cost of products and services was $314,363 for Q1 2022 compared to $226,275 for Q1 2021. Gross profit margin on products and services decreased to 35% in Q1 2022 from 60% in Q1 2021. The decrease in Gross profit margin was attributable to the sale of three instruments to a new foreign distribution relationship using long-term strategic pricing.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $281,589 for Q1 2022 compared to $299,943 for Q1 2021. The reported decrease was 6%.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $66,462 for Q1 2022 compared to $93,328 for Q1 2021. The reported decrease was primarily attributable to reduced employees in sales and marketing.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $903,885 for Q1 2022 compared to $1,015,430 for Q1 2021, a decrease of $111,545 or 11%. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in investor relations expenses.

Operating Loss

Operating loss was $1,086,299 for Q1 2022 compared to $1,075,102 for Q1 2021, an increase of $11,197, or 1%.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense was $2,579,161 for Q1 2022 compared to $4,668,064 for Q1 2021. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in amortization expense on unamortized discounts, lower interest expense for the issuance of common stock for interest paid-in-kind and a reduction in the Company’s interest expense incurred on standstill loans as part of these loans were settled in 2021.

Unrealized (loss) gain on investment in equity securities

Unrealized gain on investments in equity securities was $19,138 for Q1 2022 compared to an unrealized loss of $107,903 for Q1 2022.The reported change was attributable to movement in the market price of the Company’s investment in Nexity.

Loss on extinguishment of liabilities

In connection with debt extensions and forgiveness, we recognized net losses of $589,850 for Q1 2022 compared to $725,159 of losses for Q1 2021.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $4,671,834 ($0.48 per share) for Q1 2022 compared to $7,038,686 ($1.45 per share) for Q1 2021. The decrease in loss per share was attributable to the lower net loss attributable to common stockholders and to the increase in weighted shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

We have experienced negative cash flows from operations with respect to our pressure cycling technology business since our inception. As of March 31, 2022, we did not have adequate working capital resources to satisfy our current liabilities and as a result, we have substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. As described in Notes 5 and 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have been successful in raising debt and equity capital. We received $1.4 million in net proceeds from loans in the three months ended March 31, 2022. We have efforts in place to continue to raise cash through debt and equity offerings. (See Note 7 to the financial statements)

We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations in future periods. If we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we will likely be required to cease our operations, pursue a plan to sell our operating assets, or otherwise modify our business strategy, which could materially harm our future business prospects.

Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $756,282 as compared to $1,237,015 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1,135 compared to $3,962 in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $743,909 as compared to $1,272,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cash flows from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $1.4 million loan proceeds from convertible debt and other debt. In this period, cash flow from financing was reduced by debt payments of $0.3 million on convertible debt, and $0.3 million on other debt.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

As of March 31, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022 is due to the continued presence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These material weaknesses are the following:

	●	We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard Company assets.

	●	Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to valuation of warrants and other complex debt /equity transactions. Specifically, this material weakness resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.

	●	Limited policies and procedures that cover recording and reporting of financial transactions.

	●	Lack of multiple levels of review over the financial reporting process

	We continue to plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:

	●	Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions, and to simultaneously achieve desired organizational structuring for improved segregation of duties. We plan to mitigate this identified deficiency by hiring an independent consultant once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significant additional working capital.

	●	Improve expert review and achieve desired segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate once we generate significantly more revenue or raise significantly more working capital.

During the period covered by this Report, we implemented and performed additional substantive procedures, such as supervisory review of work papers and consistent use of financial models used in equity valuations, to ensure our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP. We have not, however, been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses due to our limited financial resources. Our remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in this Item 1A. The risks described in our Form 10-K and this Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 other than the following:

We owe over $9 million to one lender with such loans secured by a security interest in all of our assets. If we default under our obligations pursuant to such loans, the lender could foreclose on all of our assets which could require us to cease our operations.

Through March 31, 2022, we have issued Notes to the same holder such that the current gross amount owed to the holder is approximately $9.4 million. Our obligations under the Notes and the transaction documents relating to the Notes are secured by a security interest in all of our assets. As a result, if we default under our obligations under the Notes or the transaction documents, the holders of the Notes, acting through their appointed agent, could foreclose on their security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to reduce or cease operations. In addition, the pledge of these assets and other restrictions may limit our flexibility in raising capital for other purposes. Because all of our assets are pledged under these financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our financial flexibility.

The holders of our Common Stock could suffer substantial dilution due to our corporate financing practices.

The holders of our common stock could suffer substantial dilution due to our corporate financing practices which, in the past few years has included private placements. As of March 31, 2022, we had 8,722,494 shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, if all of the outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H2 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, Series K Convertible Preferred Stock and Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into shares of common stock and all outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were exercised and all fixed rate convertible notes and debentures were converted, each as of March 31, 2022, an additional 32,475,868 shares of common stock would be issued and outstanding. The full cash exercise of the options and warrants would result in approximately $58.1 million in cash proceeds to the Company. This additional issuance of shares of common stock would cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Except where noted, all the securities discussed in this Part II, Item 2 were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 100,000 warrants (three-year term at a $3.50 exercise price) to acquire common stock at a fair value of $87,436 to lenders in conjunction with signing of new convertible loans. We also issued 30,000 warrants with a fair value of $39,761 for services rendered and 100,000 warrants with a fair value of $132,537 for debt extension.
