The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.9 million as of June 30, 2012 as compared to $4.6 million as of December 31, 2011.

Financial Results

Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, was ($3.1) million or ($0.21) per share as compared to a net loss of ($3.7) million or ($0.30) per share for the same period in 2011.
