In fact, the latest news by Sigma Labs was released at the beginning of this month, stating that the company was to participates in a technology scouting event identified by Dresser-Rand Group, Inc. Though, after this announcement was made, no further information on Sigma was published and no one is familiar with its up to date activities. In this case, how long can the current up move survive?

Sigma_logo.pngAs Sigma has been recently formed and has not yet achieved profitable operations, the management of the company claims that its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on expanding income opportunities and on profitable operations. As of September 30, 2010 SGLB has raised $1,000,000 through the sale of 50,825,000 shares of its common stock, but the team states this is not sufficient to meet the current and future cash requirements. Thus, the company will need to raise additional funds through sales of common stock. However, there is no guarantee the amounts will be sufficient to meet the company’s needs.
