Pursuant to the terms of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company began accruing dividends as of January 1, 2013 of approximately $105,000 per quarter, however, the Company is not obligated to begin paying such dividends in cash until the Company's cash balance exceeds approximately $4,176,000. Based on our current projection of revenue and expenses, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flow to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have historically been able to raise capital in private placements as needed to fund operations and provide growth capital. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, or that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
