The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the reduction in net loss and lower accounts receivable and inventory. These favorable working capital improvements were partially offset by lower accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to the liquidation of the UBS Credit Facility which occurred as a result of the sale of the ARS investment, as well as payments on our capital lease obligation. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from our loan to our founders ($2.0 million), and net advances from the UBS line of credit ($1.0 million).
