The Company had less than $0.1 million in sales to Cercacor for the year ended December 31, 2016 and no sales to Cercacor for the years ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015.
Administrative Services Agreement - The Company is a party to an administrative services agreement with Cercacor (G&A Services Agreement), which governs certain general and administrative services that the Company provides to Cercacor. Amounts charged by the Company pursuant to the G&A Services Agreement were $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015.
Cercacor’s Expenses related to Pronto-7®. In February 2009, in order to accelerate the development of the technology and product development supporting the Company’s Pronto-7® device, Cercacor agreed to re-direct a substantial amount of its engineering development activities to focus on this project and the Company agreed to fund such expenses. Accordingly, from April 2009 through June 2010, the Company agreed to reimburse Cercacor for all third-party engineering materials and supplies expenses related to Pronto-7® development and 50% of Cercacor’s total engineering and engineering-related payroll expenses. Subsequent to July 2010, Cercacor continued to assist the Company with other product development efforts and charged the Company accordingly. Beginning in 2012, due to a revised estimate of the support required to complete the Company’s various Pronto-7® related projects, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase in the percentage of Cercacor’s total engineering and engineering related payroll expenses funded by the Company from 50% to 60%. For the year ended January 3, 2015, the total funding for these additional Cercacor expenses was $3.1 million. This arrangement was discontinued by mutual agreement effective as of January 4, 2015.

Based on this review, it was determined that less than 60% of Cercacor’s total engineering and engineering-related payroll expenses were attributable to the development of Pronto-7®, resulting in an overpayment by the Company to Cercacor of approximately $1.6 million for fiscal 2014. In addition, the Company and Cercacor agreed to equally share approximately $1.4 million of previously incurred engineering-related payroll expenses associated with research for a new LED sensor technology for the Company and, as a result, the Company and Cercacor mutually agreed that Cercacor would refund $0.9 million to the Company.
