Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | 1. Organization and Description of the Business AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Washington in 1989 under the name Targeted Genetics Corporation. In February 2011, Targeted Genetics Corporation changed its name to AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation. The Company, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is dedicated to developing novel antibacterial solutions called bacteriophage (phage). Phages are naturally occurring viruses that preferentially target and kill their bacterial targets. As a development stage company, we have incurred net losses since our inceptions, have negative operating cash flows, and have an accumulated deficit of $376.5 million and $362.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company completed a $13.0 million private placement of common shares in March 2015, which provided the Company net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million after commissions to placement agents. We believe that with this capital infusion, there are adequate resources sufficient to fund operations through the second quarter of 2016. This estimate is based on the Company’s product development calendar, projected staffing expenses, working capital requirements, and capital expenditure plans.
