SANTA FE, N.M., Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigma Labs, Inc.

Second Quarter Highlights

• Entered into a Technology Cooperation Agreement with Materialise NV of Belgium, a leader in software solutions for the 3D printing industry, to collaborate on the integration, production, and marketing of Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D® products for metal-based additive manufacturing.
• The Company also signed a Trial Evaluation Agreement with Honeywell International, a U.S.-based conglomerate serving a multitude of industrial, aerospace, and defense end markets, to utilize Honeywell's Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Center as a beta test site for Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software module.
• Sigma Labs entered into a contract with Adurant Technologies, a Cloudera® and Oracle® Gold Partner, to assist the Company in formulating, designing and deploying a unified 'Big Data' methodology to support the integration of PrintRite3D® systems into manufacturing and production infrastructure systems.

"Sigma Labs continues its focus on several business development initiatives that will serve as growth catalysts for our technology going forward," said Mark Cola, President and CEO. "By entering into several important agreements this quarter, we have effectively positioned the Company for expansion within the aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Working with Materialise to enhance their world-class manufacturing software, we can more rapidly address the needs of corporations looking to increase 3D printing-based production by ensuring accurate, high-tolerance specifications. Likewise, our beta-testing alliance with Honeywell should expedite the launch of our PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software, while our contract with Adurant will support the integration of our technology into advanced production systems.

"In addition, we recently announced that we have ordered our first state-of-the-art 3D metal printer which, coupled with our PrintRite3D® technology, will allow us to provide high-end, precision metal parts for contract manufacturing purposes. Overall, we are on track to take Sigma Labs to the next level in its development – moving from a consulting enterprise to a trusted manufacturing partner, product designer, and software engineering firm – and we see an acceleration of top line growth in the quarters to come."

Second Quarter Results

Service revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, versus approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in 2013. The revenue decline year-over-year primarily reflects lower consulting revenue as the Company invests in product sales and transitions from services to products.

The Company reported a net loss for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of approximately $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, or $(0.00) per diluted share, versus a loss of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the same period in 2013, or $(0.00) per diluted share. The higher loss reflects decreases in revenues and increased general and administrative expenses, payroll expenses, non-cash compensation expenses and warrant expenses.
