Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Accrued Wind-down Expenses | Note 10. Accrued Wind-down Expenses In May 2016, we decided to terminate our Phase II Pathway Study in spinal cord injury following an in-depth review of data from the study and after obtaining the concurrence of the study’s Interim Analysis Data Monitoring Committee. While the results showed overall improvement in patients treated with our proprietary cells, the magnitude of the effect and the perceived trend of the effect over time did not justify continuing the study or exploring the variability in the initial patient observations, given the financial resources available to us. Following this, in May 2016, our Board of Directors approved a plan to wind down our current operations, having considered the decision to terminate the Pathway Study, our available strategic alternatives and our current cash position. We are evaluating opportunities to monetize our intellectual property, including data collected in its studies and trade secrets, as well as the transfer of our proprietary HuCNS-SC cells and other assets through a potential sale. We will not proceed with our earlier plans to conduct a rights offering, for which we had filed a registration statement with the SEC. As part of the wind down of our operations, we conducted a reduction of our work force impacting all of our remaining full-time employees, consisting of approximately 50 employees and exited our facilities, as of August 1, 2016. We recorded approximately $3,806,000 in wind-down expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The following table summarizes these expenses:
|  | Nine months ended September 30, 2016 |
Employee related |  | $ | 3,135,182 |
External services |  |  | 319,953 |
Legal |  |  | 286,134 |
Facilities related |  |  | (590,505 | )
Clinical trials close out |  |  | 430,834 |
Other |  |  | 224,544 |
Total wind-down expense |  | $ | 3,806,142 |
As of September 30, 2016, our accrued wind-down expense, primarily employee related, was approximately $80,000.
