Our cash balance as of September 30, 2014 includes restricted cash of $185,000 (as discussed in Note 3). For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we generated a net loss of $635,000 and net cash provided by operating activities of $1,560,000. We generated cash flow from operations even though we incurred a net loss as our net loss includes non-cash operating expenses (as shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows). In October 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), 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"). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of September 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $400,000 on the Main Street Revolver.

LLC (“MLV”), under which the Company may, at its discretion, sell its common stock with a sales value of up to a maximum of $8,000,000 through at-the-market sales on the NYSE MKT (the "ATM Offering"). MLV acts as sole sales agent for any sales made in the ATM Offering for a 3% commission on gross proceeds. The common stock is being sold at market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices may vary. Through September 30, 2014, the Company sold 89,000 shares in the ATM Offering at a weighted-average selling price of $1.33 per share for gross proceeds of $118,000. Net proceeds totaled $108,000, reflecting reductions for the 3% commission to MLV and other offering expenses. See Note 8 for further discussion. Based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and, cash flows the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows 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. As of September 30, 2014, we have availability of $1,600,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement). There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to access the availability from the Main Street Revolver and/or Main Street Term Loan in the future. There also can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital through the ATM Offering as may be needed or upon acceptable stock prices. In the event we need access to capital to fund operations and provide growth capital beyond the ATM Offering and our existing Main Street credit facility, we have historically been able to raise capital in private placements. If the current or future 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.
