LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.8 million and cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million.  The Company did not raise any capital or incur any additional debt during the first quarter of 2016. The Company anticipates operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to ramping up its commercial operations, further developing its products and product candidates, right sizing and reorganizing its administrative organization and winding down activities and managing obligations related to its discontinued operations. The accompanying condensed, consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 million, net accounts receivable of $2.8 million and current liabilities of $19.7 million.
 
As a result of the sale of substantially all of its Commercial Services Organization (CSO) business in December 2015, which generated net cash proceeds of $26.8 million (of which $21.6 million was used to repay long-term debt and fees), the Company focused its resources and strategic initiatives on the molecular diagnostics business. As with many companies in a similar stage, sufficient capital is required before achieving profitability. Accordingly, the Company will require additional capital in 2016 and beyond and in order to obtain such capital and fund its operations, may be required to restructure all or a portion of its obligations related to the sale of its CSO business. There is, however, no guarantee that additional capital will or can be raised or that adequate restructuring will be accomplished that is sufficient to fund the Company's operations in 2016 and beyond or that the terms of such additional capital, if available, will be acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company is exploring various dilutive and non-dilutive sources of funding, including equity and debt financings, strategic alliances and alternatives, business development and other sources. Additionally, the Company intends to help meet its capital needs by driving revenue growth of our commercial molecular diagnostic tests, closely managing cash and further streamlining operations. If, however, the Company is unsuccessful in executing its plans for the business to continue operations, when needed, including the restructuring of its debt and other liabilities, then it may be forced to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or be forced into liquidation or substantially alter or restructure its business operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
