Spinout of Brink Biologics and Coneksis

8. Spinout of Brink Biologics and Coneksis

On June 9, 2015, the Company spun out its business related to testing and diagnostic products and services into the entity, Brink Biologics, Inc. (Brink Biologics) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brink Biologics which were subsequently distributed by a dividend to our stockholders. Under the spin-out arrangement, the Company transferred to Brink Biologics all of the Company’s existing revenue-earning, non-exclusive license agreements that allow third parties to use the Company’s cell lines and intellectual property for non-clinical laboratory testing. In addition, the Company transferred or licensed to Brink Biologics the Company’s other assets associated with testing and diagnostics products and services. The Company granted to Brink Biologics worldwide, exclusive licenses to the use of certain cell lines limited to the field of in vitro and in vivo testing and diagnostic products and services, trademarks, intellectual property, and patents, including the Company’s rights under its license agreement with Fox Chase Cancer Center. As part of the agreement, the Company also has a non-exclusive license to any results and data arising from Brink Biologics’ use of the Company’s cell lines and intellectual property for the Company’s use for internal research purposes and outside of Brink Biologics’ field. In consideration for the license grants, Brink Biologics is obligated to pay the Company a low single-digit royalty on amounts received for the sale of licensed products and services, as well as a low single-digit percentage share of other revenue received by Brink Biologics from the grant of sublicenses under the Company’s rights. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $4 in revenue for royalties. Brink Biologics and the Company have the right to terminate the license agreement under certain conditions. Also, as part of the spin-out arrangement, the Company has agreed to provide certain services to Brink Biologics for a transitional period on a fee-for-service basis. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company has invoiced $58 for services to Brink Biologics which is recorded in other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.  Had the Company consummated the spin out as of the beginning of the year, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s revenue would have been $23 and selling, general and administrative expense would have been $152,792.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation, and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. Under the new guidance, only disposals of a component representing a strategic shift in operations, that has or will have a major impact on the Company’s operations or financial results, should be classified as discontinued operations. The spin out of Banks Biologics and Coneksis did not have a major impact on the Company’s operations or financial results, and accordingly, are not being reported as discontinued operations.
