We assumed the preceding notes payable as the result of the Exchange Transaction between the Company and TGBio. Accordingly, a valuation using the guidance in the accounting literature for business combinations (ASC 805) was performed and these notes were initially recorded at their fair value on the date of the transaction.
 
Convertible 5% Notes Payable
 
On March 8, 2010, Manhattan entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Manhattan, Ariston and Ariston Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan (the "Merger Sub").  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, on March 8, 2010, the Merger Sub merged with and into Ariston (the "Merger"), with Ariston being the surviving corporation of the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, Ariston became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan. 
 
The 5% Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at the conversion price of $1,125 per share.  Ariston agreed to make quarterly payments on the 5% Notes equal to 50% of the net product cash flow received from the exploitation or commercialization of Ariston’s product candidates, AST-726 and AST-915.  We have no obligation under the 5% Notes aside from a) 50% of the net product cash flows from Ariston’s product candidates, if any, payable to noteholders; and b) the conversion feature, discussed above. Interest accrues monthly, is added to principal on an annual basis, every March 8, and is payable at maturity, which is March 8, 2015.
 
In connection with the exchange transaction with TGBio in December 2011, we performed a valuation of the assets and liabilities of Manhattan immediately prior to the transaction. The cumulative liability including accrued and unpaid interest of these notes was approximately $16,876,000 immediately prior to the Exchange Transaction, and $19,310,000 at September 30, 2014 and $18,614,000 at December 31, 2013. As the 5% Notes are tied directly to net product cash flows derived from the preexisting products of Ariston, the 5% Notes and accrued interest were recorded at fair value of $3,287,700 as of the date of the Exchange Transaction (See Note 4 for further details). No payments have been made on the 5% Notes as of September 30, 2014.
 
ICON Convertible Note Payable
 
As of December 31, 2013 the principal amount of the Amended ICON Note was $677,778, of which the entire balance had been classified as current and was reflected as notes payable, current portion, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest payable on the Amended ICON Note was $190,017 as of December 31, 2013, and was reflected as interest payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In January 2014, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with ICON related to this note, under which we agreed to pay $772,369 in full settlement of the principal and interest due on this note, resulting in a gain of $95,427.
