RESEARCH AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS
Note 6: Research Agreement OBLIGATIONS
 
Crucell Holland B. V. (“Crucell”) – Research License and Option Agreement
 
In 2003 and further amended in 2008, the Company acquired a research license and option agreement from Crucell Holland B.V. for use of an adenovirus technology. The Company has not made use of the technology in its current work and has not asked for nor received any work product from Crucell. Crucell was acquired by Johnson and Johnson in 2010.
 
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued $492,365 under the amended agreement.
 
Upon further legal review and analysis of the agreement undertaken during the quarter, the Company concluded that the statute of limitations has run out on the obligation, and a legal opinion received by the Company confirms the amounts are not currently owed. As such, as of June 30, 2017, the Company was no longer obligated to make the payments under the agreement and therefore, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $492,365 and reduced the liability amount owed to $0.
