PRESSURE BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

1) Business Overview, Liquidity and Management Plans

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

2) Going Concern

 

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

3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

Contract Costs

 

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

 

Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

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

 

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

Product Supply

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Computation of Loss per Share

 

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

 

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

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

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

 

Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants

 

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

 

Summary of Assumptions for Grants of Stock Options

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

Forfeitures - The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 0% to 5% for awards granted based on historical experience and future expectations of options vesting. The Company used this historical rate as our assumption in calculating future stock-based compensation expense.

 

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

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $135,554 and $32,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,565,798 and $96,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectfully. The following table summarizes the effect of this stock-based compensation expense within each of the line items of our costs and expenses within our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

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

 

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

4) Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The weighted-average discount rate is 12%.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Battelle Memorial Institute

 

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

 

Target Discovery Inc.

 

In March 2010, we signed a strategic product licensing, manufacturing, co-marketing, and collaborative research and development agreement with Target Discovery Inc. (“TDI”), a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, we have been licensed by TDI to manufacture and sell an innovative line of chemicals used in the preparation of tissues for scientific analysis (“TDI reagents”). The TDI reagents were designed for use in combination with our pressure cycling technology. The companies believe that the combination of PCT and the TDI reagents can fill an existing need in life science research for an automated method for rapid extraction and recovery of intact, functional proteins associated with cell membranes in tissue samples. We did not incur any royalty obligation under this agreement in 2023 or 2022.

 

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

 

 

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

 

Severance and Change of Control Agreements

 

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

 

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