NOTE 5 – LICENSE AGREEMENTS
 
In November 2012, we entered into an exclusive (within the territory) sublicense agreement with Ildong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, (“Ildong”) relating to the development and commercialization of TG-1101 in South Korea and Southeast Asia.  Under the terms of the sublicense agreement, Ildong has been granted a royalty bearing, exclusive right, including the right to grant sublicenses, to develop and commercialize TG-1101 in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Myanmar.  
 
An upfront payment of $2,000,000, which was received in December 2012 net of $330,000 of foreign income tax withheld, is being recognized as license revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement, which is through the expiration of the last licensed patent right or 15 years after the first commercial sale of a product in such country, unless the agreement is earlier terminated. The upfront payment will be recognized as license revenue on a straight-line basis through December 2025, which represents the estimated period over which the Company will have certain ongoing responsibilities under the sublicense agreement. The Company recorded license revenue of approximately $114,000 and $38,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and has deferred revenue of approximately $1,867,000 associated with this $2,000,000 payment (approximately $152,000 of which has been classified as a current liability) at September 30, 2013. 
 
The Company may receive up to an additional $5.0 million in payments upon the achievement of pre-specified milestones. In addition, upon commercialization, Ildong will make royalty payments to the Company on net sales of TG-1101 in the sublicense territory.
