The Company expects to report a de minimus amount of revenue for 2013. Its net loss is expected to be approximately $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses in 2013, an increase in non-cash interest expense in 2013 related to a November 2013 financing and approximately $4.3 million in other expense related to convertible debt and warrants, which are being revalued at each reporting period. The Company’s estimated expenses and net loss as presented herein are preliminary and subject to change and should not be relied on.
