e first quarter of 2008 was $3.7 million
(including a non-cash expense of $191,000 related to stock based
compensation), compared with an operating loss of $2.2 million (including a
non-cash expense of $205,000 related to stock based compensation) for the
corresponding quarter of 2007. Net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was
$3.9 million, or $0.33 per ordinary share, compared with a net loss of $2
million, or $0.23 per ordinary share, for the corresponding quarter of
2007.
Research and development expenses of $2.4 million for the first quarter
of 2008, compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2007, remain the
Company's largest expense and accounted for 64% of its operating losses.
As of March 31, 2008 we had $18.6 million in cash, cash equivalents,
short and long term bank deposits and marketable securities. Our outlook of
total cash usage for operating activities for the next nine month of 2008
is approximately $10 million.
As previously announced, the Company continues to receive interest
payments from its auction rate securities, which all but two are rated AAA.
However, due to the continuing uncertainty in the credit market, the
company recorded an impairment of $300,000 during the first quarter.
