Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets On April 1, 2009, we acquired the operations of Stem Cell Sciences Plc (SCS) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,135,000. The acquired operations includes proprietary cell technologies relating to embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and tissue-derived (adult) stem cells; expertise and infrastructure for providing cell-based assays for drug discovery; a cell culture products business; and an intellectual property portfolio with claims relevant to cell processing, reprogramming and manipulation, as well as to gene targeting and insertion. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
|  | Allocated purchase Price |  |  | Estimated life of intangible assets in years |
Net tangible assets |  | $ | 36,000 |  |  |  |  |
Intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships and developed technology |  |  | 1,310,000 |  |  |  | 6 to 9 |
In-process research and development |  |  | 1,340,000 |  |  |  | N/A |
Trade name |  |  | 310,000 |  |  |  | 15 |
Goodwill |  |  | 2,139,000 |  |  |  | N/A |
Total |  | $ | 5,135,000 |  |  |  |  |
In-process research and development assets relate to: 1) the acquisition of certain intellectual property rights not expected to expire until 2027 related to our program focused on developing genetically engineered rat models of human disease (our “Transgenic Rat Program”); and 2) the acquisition of certain technology related to the commercialization of our SC Proven cell culture products and the development and commercialization of cell-based assay platforms for use in drug discovery and development (our “Assay Development Program”). At the time of valuation (April 2009), our Transgenic Rat Program was in its nascent stage and our Assay Development Program was expected to achieve proof of concept by 2012. Neither program was expected to begin generating revenue until 2011-2012. In December 2011, in part because of management’s decision to focus on our therapeutic product development programs and not to allocate time and resources to the assays technology, we determined that we could not predict the future cash flows from the intangible IPR&D asset related to the Assay Development Program. Therefore, at December 31, 2011, we determined that the intangible asset was impaired and wrote off the approximately $655,000 carrying value of the asset. Trade name relates to the “SC Proven” trademark of our cell culture products which we expect to market for 15 years from the date of acquisition, based on which, we estimated a remaining useful life of 15 years from the valuation date. The following table presents changes in goodwill:
Balance as of December 31, 2011 |  | $ | 1,895,000 |
Foreign currency translation |  |  | 72,570 |
Balance as of September 30, 2012 |  | $ | 1,967,570 |
The components of our other intangible assets at September 30, 2012 are summarized below:
Other Intangible Asset Class |  | Cost |  |  | Impairment |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Foreign Currency Translation |  |  | Net Carrying Amount |
Customer relationships and developed technology |  | $ | 1,310,000 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (647,222 | ) |  | $ | 146,820 |  |  | $ | 809,598 |
In-process research and development |  |  | 1,340,000 |  |  |  | (654,961 | ) |  |  | (270,687 | ) |  |  | 131,710 |  |  |  | 546,062 |

Amortization expense was approximately $66,000 in the third quarter of 2012. The expected future annual amortization expense for each of the next five years based on current balances of our intangible assets is approximately as follows:
For the year ending December 31: |  |  |  |
2013 |  | $ | 267,000 |
2014 |  | $ | 267,000 |
2015 |  | $ | 266,000 |
