In February 2011, Targeted Genetics Corporation changed its name to AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation. The Company is dedicated to developing novel antibacterial therapies called bacteriophage (phage). Phages are naturally occurring viruses that preferentially target and kill their bacterial targets. As a development stage company, it has incurred net losses since its inception, has negative operating cash flows, and had an accumulated deficit of $360.3 million and $362.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In the opinion of management, the Company has resources sufficient to fund its planned operations through the third quarter of 2016. This estimate is based on the Company’s current product development plans, projected staffing expenses, working capital requirements, and capital expenditure plans.
