(a)
On January 29, 2007, the Company acquired a license from Shriners Hospitals for Children and University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. in the amount of $996,000.  Within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of approval by the FDA allowing the sale of the first licensed product, the Company is required to pay an additional $200,000 to the licensor.  Due to its contingent nature, this amount is not recorded as a liability. The Company will also be required to pay a royalty of 3% on all commercial sales revenue from the licensed products. The Company is also obligated to pay a $50,000 minimum annual royalty payment over the life of the license. As of December 31, 2013, this license had a remaining net book value of approximately $309,000.
(b)
On September 1, 2005, we acquired a license from SaluMedica, LLC (SaluMedica) in the original amount of $2,399,000 for the use of certain developed technologies related to spine repair. This license was acquired through the acquisition of SpineMedica Corp. In 2012, we booked an impairment charge related to this asset of $851,676. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company made a decision to discontinue marketing the HydroFix® product line and fully impaired the asset. There was no charge to Operations as the asset was fully amortized.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a license agreement for the use of certain developed technologies related to surgical sheets made of polyvinyl alcohol cryogel in the original amount of $2,667,000. In 2012, we booked an impairment charge related to this asset of $946,819. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company made a decision to discontinue marketing the HydroFix® product line and fully impaired the asset. This resulted in an impairment charge of $368,102 which is included in the Company's Statement of Operations.
