Note 2 – Liquidity and Management Plans
 
As of March 31, 2015 the Company recorded revenue of $200,000 and incurred net losses of $6,925,279 and $31,009,723 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Since inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the private placement of convertible notes, the sale of its common stock in a registered public offering, the sale of its common stock to a strategic investor, and the issuance of its common stock to the Company’s landlord to reduce its monthly base rent obligation and pay for certain tenant improvements and the sale of common stock in a December 2014 secondary offering.
 
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash on hand of $26,500,696. In April 2014, the Company completed its IPO of 4,600,000 shares of common stock through which the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $24.8 million. In connection with the completion of the IPO, the Company’s outstanding convertible notes and interest accrued thereon were converted into 1,833,336 and 96,792 shares, respectively, of common stock, thus extinguishing the debt associated with the notes. On April 4, 2014, the Company issued 210,527 shares of common stock to a strategic investor upon the receipt of net proceeds of $900,000 ($300,000 received on March 27, 2014, $700,000 received on April 4, 2014 less $100,000 to MDB Capital Group as a commission ). On September 10, 2014, the Company issued 41,563 shares of common stock to the Company’s landlord as prepaid rent and tenant improvements. On November 12, 2014, the Company issued 5,353 shares of common stock to a search firm for services associated with recruiting certain employees. In December 2014, the Company completed a secondary offering of 3,285,714 shares of common stock through which the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $21.0 million. The Company expects that cash on hand as of March 31, 2015, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations into the second quarter of 2016.
 
Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable.  Although the Company will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that our available resources including the net proceeds from the Company’s IPO, secondary offering, and strategic investor financing will be sufficient to enable it to develop and obtain regulatory approval of its technology to the extent needed to create future revenues sufficient to sustain its operations.  The Company expects that it may choose to pursue additional financing, depending upon the market conditions, which could include follow-on equity offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements or other alternatives. Should the Company choose to pursue additional financing, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to do so on terms that it would find acceptable. On April 24, 2015, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, under which the Company may from time to time, sell any combination of debt or equity securities up to an aggregate of $75,000,000.
