3. | Capital Availability
We incurred net losses of $7,667,000 and $9,325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $282,395,000 as of March 31, 2013. Additionally, we have used net cash of $9,294,000 and $7,714,000 to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital and gross profits. During 2012 and 2013, we expanded our commercialization activities while simultaneously pursuing available financing sources to support operations and growth. We have had, and we will likely continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our future operations. We believe we have sufficient cash to fund operations through June 30, 2013, which includes minimum liquidity requirements of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, that requires us to make principal payments of $825,000 per month along with accrued interest and maintain at least three months of cash on hand. We are in discussions with our lender group to extend the term of the loan and defer principal payments to coincide with anticipated product sales, government payment contracts, and other potential cash milestones. At June 30, 2013, absent additional funding or debt restructuring, our cash balance will be less than the minimum liquidity amount required by the lender in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement In order to fund operations and our continued commercialization efforts through the next twelve months, we are pursuing additional funding through either strategic corporate partnerships, debt restructuring or future issuances of equity or debt securities in addition to our gross profits. We have an established history of raising capital through all these platforms, and are currently involved in negotiations with multiple parties. In the absence of sufficient positive cash flows from operations, no assurance can be given that we can generate sufficient revenue to cover operating costs or that additional financing will be available to us and, if available, on terms acceptable to us in the future. Without this additional capital, cash generated from sales and containment of costs will not provide adequate funding indefinitely at their current levels. If we cannot raise sufficient capital, we would need to reduce our research, development, and administrative operations, including reductions of our employee base and the deferral of ongoing development projects, to focus almost entirely on the supply of current products to existing distribution channels and our thermal burn contract arrangement with BARDA. As a result, such reductions would negatively affect our ability to achieve certain other corporate goals.
