Sales of CellerateRX have comprised the substantial majority of the Company’s sales during 2022 and 2021. In January 2021, the Company amended the term of the sublicense agreement to extend the term to May 17, 2050, with automatic successive one-year renewals so long as annual net sales of the licensed products exceed $1,000,000.
