10.    Asset Purchase Agreement


On February 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Prasco, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Prasco”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from Prasco assets associated with econazole nitrate cream 1% (the “Product), which is available in 15g, 30g, and 85g tubes has United States Food and Drug Administration approved indications for the treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis as well as the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis and tinea versicolor.


In consideration for the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Prasco $1.4 million in cash and will be required to pay an additional aggregate of $400,000 upon the occurrence of certain milestone events (the “Milestone Payment”). The Milestone Payment is secured by a first-priority security interest in the acquired assets under the Purchase Agreement. The transaction is accounted for as a purchase of the product and product rights, and as such the initial payment and related costs to acquire the asset are included as part of product acquisition costs totaling $1.4 million.  Upon the completion of the milestone payment, the Company will capitalize the remaining milestone payment and related acquisition costs and amortize the costs over fifteen years, the useful life of the acquired product and product rights.


Under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Prasco will continue to distribute the Product during a six-month period following the closing of the Purchase Agreement or for a shorter period if the Company has completed the technical transfer of the Product and begun manufacturing the Product under its own label. The Company expects sales of the product in the third quarter of 2013.


In addition, the Purchase Agreement contains certain non-compete restrictions preventing Prasco from selling the Product in United States for a period of seven years.
