Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported by Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“PBI”) on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2004, PBI transferred certain assets and liabilities of its PBI Source Scientific, Inc. (formerly known as BBI Source Scientific, Inc.) (“SSI”) subsidiary to a newly formed and wholly owned limited liability company known as Source Scientific, LLC (“SS LLC”). PBI subsequently sold 70% of its ownership interests in SS LLC to Richard W.  Henson and Bruce A. Sargeant pursuant to the terms of a LLC Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated June 2, 2004, by and among SSI, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant executed promissory notes to PBI in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 (the “Notes”) payable on May 31, 2007 and bearing interest at a rate of 8% per year. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PBI granted Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant an option to purchase PBI’s remaining 30% ownership interest in SS LLC on or before May 31, 2007 at an exercise price consisting of an escalating premium (10-50%) over PBI’s initial ownership value, provided Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant first repaid in full all outstanding principal and interest on the Notes (the “Option”).

On May 29, 2007, PBI and SSI entered into a Consent Agreement with Mr. Henson, Mr. Sargeant, SS LLC and BIT Analytical Instruments, Inc. (the “Consent Agreement”) pursuant to which the Notes were repaid in full in the aggregate amount of $1,201,534 and Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant exercised their Option (through BIT Analytical Instruments, Inc.) to purchase PBI’s remaining 30% ownership interest in SS LLC for an aggregate exercise price of $578,573. As a result of these transactions, PBI no longer retains any direct or indirect ownership interest in SS LLC.

PBI announced the transactions contemplated by the Consent Agreement by press release dated May 31, 2007.
