You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Overview
We are a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes through cost efficient, rapid, near-patient products for triage and monitoring of disease progression. We believe there is a market need for an on-site and rapid diagnostic system that can be employed for testing and monitoring. Our diagnostic system, which we refer to as "Symphony," is an exclusively licensed, patented, low-cost, system that consists of a small footprint instrument and single-use indication specific test cartridges.. We believe, if cleared, authorized, or approved by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Symphony System can provide a solution to this market need with rapid, laboratory quality results in the Intensive Care Unit ("ICU"), Emergency Room ("ER"), and other hospital and clinical settings . Currently, testing is generally performed in a laboratory, and the transportation and logistics of transporting the samples to the lab and obtaining the results takes 8-48 hours. Our platform is a sample-to-result system that has been shown in a clinical study to provide results in approximately 20 minutes. Our business model is to generate revenue from the sale of the portable Symphony System, and from the sale of single-use indication specific cartridges used for the diagnostic test. Once the test material, a small volume whole blood sample, is transferred to a Symphony Cartridge, no additional sample preparation or pre-processing is required. Since inception, we have incurred net losses from operations each year and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, at least until we are cleared, authorized or approved by the FDA. We incurred net losses of approximately$4.0 million and$834,000 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had$15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and a$11.7 million accumulated deficit atJune 30, 2022 , with net cash used in operating activities of approximately$3.6 million for the six months ended

The increase was due to a minor sale of five Symphony analyzers to our business partner,Toray . Future sales toToray are not currently anticipated. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 were approximately$756,000 and$1.5 million , respectively, as compared to approximately$226,000 and$250,000 , respectively, for the comparable periods in 2021. The increase in research and development expenses is due to the advancement of our clinical studies and to support the scale-up manufacturing of the Symphony IL-6 Test. General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 were approximately$1.2 million and$2.5 million , respectively, as compared to approximately$390,000 and$530,000 , respectively, for the comparable periods in 2021. The increase in general and administrative reflects the Company's investment in scalable infrastructure, as well as expenses to support public company operations due to the completion of our initial public offering in
November 2021 . Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 were approximately$81,000 and$135,000 , respectively, as compared to approximately$50,000 and$119,000 , respectively, for the comparable periods in 2021. While these expenses have been limited to date, we expect to increase these efforts when appropriate to support our commercial growth. 15
