Former Name if Applicable

Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

☒	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the November 14, 2022 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Quarterly Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Quarterly Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022 to be incorporated in the Quarterly Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

	Richard T. Schumacher		(508)		230-1828
	(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)

 

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
	Yes ☒ No ☐
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
	Yes ☒ No ☐
	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

We expect to report total revenue of approximately $145,000 for Q3 2022 compared to $517,365 for Q3 2021, a decrease of approximately 73%. For YTD 2022 we expect to report total revenue of approximately $1.1 million compared to YTD 2021 of $1,687,166, a decrease of approximately 34%.

 

The decline in revenue for the year-to-date periods was primarily attributable to: a decline of approximately 47% in PCT instrument sales due to expected Q3 orders received in Q4 and a decline of approximately 48% in Scientific Services due to the completion of two contracts at the end of 2021 and another in mid-2022. These declines were partially offset by an increase of approximately 442% in Agrochem product sales.
