Liquidity And Management Plan [Abstract] |
LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN | NOTE A – LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN The Company has recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $223,817,388 as of September 30, 2016. The Company incurred a net loss of $12,175,979 and generated negative operating cash flow of $9,896,727 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,479,274 and working capital of $7,267,005. The Company’s current capital resources include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventories. Historically, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities. As discussed in Note J, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Company closed on a registered direct public offering and concurrent private placement of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $8.75 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In addition, on November 7, 2016, the Company closed a private placement of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses (See Note J). The Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash received from the November 2016 private placement as well as collection of its current accounts receivables. The Company estimates that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund operations for the next twelve months from the Balance Sheet date. The Company may require additional funds to complete the continued development of its products, product manufacturing, and to fund expected additional losses from operations, until revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses. If revenues are not sufficient to cover the Company's operating expenses, and if the Company is not successful in obtaining the necessary additional financing, it will most likely be forced to reduce operations.
