Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $5.1 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2021. Net loss and net loss per share for the quarter ended Mawere $8.5 million and $1.18, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $10.55, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021. Net cash used in operations for the quarter ended Mawas $7.1 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2021. Cash balance does not reflect $15 million raised in April from PIPE financing. The decrease was primarily due to cash used in operations of $7.1 million offset by proceeds from sales under our ATM program of $1.4 million. Tempest ended the first quarter of 2022 with $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $51.8 million at December 31, 2021. On April 27, we announced a $15 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing to EcoR1 Capital, LLC and Versant Venture Capital.
