Thin Film Japan Distribution Agreement [Abstract] |
Thin Film Japan Distribution Agreement |
14. | Thin Film Japan Distribution Agreement
In 2004, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Senko. Under this agreement, we granted to Senko an exclusive license to sell and distribute certain Thin Film products in Japan and are responsible for the completion of the initial regulatory application to the MHLW and commercialization of the Thin Film product line in Japan. The Distribution Agreement with Senko commences upon "commercialization." Essentially, commercialization occurs when one or more Thin Film product registrations are completed with the MHLW. At the inception of this arrangement, we received a $1,500,000 license fee which was recorded as deferred revenues in 2004. Half of the license fee was refundable if the parties agree commercialization is not achievable and a proportional amount was refundable if we terminate the arrangement, other than for material breach by Senko, before three years post-commercialization. We have also received $1,250,000 in milestone payments from Senko. In February 2013, we entered into a mutual termination and release agreement with Senko, whereby the Distribution Agreement, and all Senko rights, licenses and privileges granted under the Distribution Agreement terminated and reverted to the Company. As a result of this Termination Distribution Agreement, we are obligated to pay Senko $1,200,000 in six quarterly installment payments of $200,000 each through May 2014. At the time of the Termination Agreement, we had a balance of $2,379,000 in deferred revenues on our balance sheet relating to the payments received from Senko in the past persuant to the Distribution Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made our first installment payment of $200,000, accrued $1,000,000 of the termination fee, and recognized the remaining $1,179,000 in development revenues which reflects the Company's efforts towards commercialization under the agreement.
