For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated a net loss of $2,686,000 and net cash provided by operating activities of $1,812,000. We generated cash from operations even though we incurred a net loss due to certain non-cash expenses and changes in working capital. On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Main Street Loan Agreement") by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation, as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility. At closing, the Company borrowed approximately $9,000,000 under the term loan and $193,000 on the revolving loan facility. The proceeds of the $9,000,000 term loan were used to repay the existing $6,500,000 Escalate Term Loan and $2,000,000 Comerica Term Loan (the "Comerica Term Loan"), in addition to facility fees and expenses. As of September 30, 2013, the current portion of long-term debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet was $917,000 and was related to the scheduled principal payments on our Comerica Term Loan, as summarized in Note 6. With the repayment of the Comerica Term Loan on October 17, 2013, the Company improved its working capital position as the current portion of long-term debt of $917,000 as of September 30, 2013 is no longer outstanding. Based on our current projection of revenue, expenses and cash flows, 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. In the event we need to raise additional capital to fund operations and provide growth capital, we have historically been able to raise capital in private placements as needed. 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.
