attributable to the cash inflows resulting from the capital increase carried out and the issue of convertible bonds, as well as the drawdown of further funds from the EIB loan. The cash inflows were offset by interest payments. At the end of the year, the freely available liquidity amounted to EUR 1,706 thousand (previous year: EUR 167 thousand). Outlook and financial prognosis of 2021 For the year 2021, the following focal points are planned for the Company's development: In Europe: MagForce expects a further increase in the number of commercially treated patients in Germany and Poland, the initiation of further placements of NanoActivators in Germany and other European countries for the treatment of brain tumors, and continuation of activities to establish an efficient reimbursement procedure in Germany and the target countries for NanoTherm therapy. In the USA: MagForce expects the completion of the second Stage of the pivotal clinical study for NanoTherm Therapy in the indication prostate cancer and the start of commercialization activities of NanoTherm Therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. MagForce has taken measures to continue to pursue its goals without significant delays, even in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it cannot be ruled out with certainty that, in particular due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, goals cannot be achieved or that their implementation will be postponed. Financial outlook MagForce AG expects a significant increase in revenues due to a rise in the number of commercially treated patients in Europe and the start of commercialization activities in the USA upon successful completion of the US pivotal study. In this context, an increase in NanoTherm production volumes is also expected. The production of ambulatory NanoActivators will take place depending on the progress of commercialization in the USA. Due to continued expenses for the European expansion strategy, a positive operating result is not expected for the financial year 2021 despite higher revenues. The positive operating result in 2020 resulted from the realization of hidden reserves through the intercompany transfer of shares in MagForce USA Inc. A sustained negative financial result is expected for the 2021 financial year, as further debt financing measures are likely and rising interest payments will have a negative impact on the financial result. Despite measures taken against the COVID-19 pandemic by MagForce, it cannot be ruled out that a worsening of the pandemic will lead to restrictions in commercialization activities, so that revenue targets cannot be achieved with a corresponding negative impact on the expected results.
