Contract Research and Development Revenue and Miscellaneous Income
 
Contract research and development is specific to the transition services agreement the Company entered into with the purchaser of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business. The transition services agreement was initiated in January 2010 at the time of the sale. It provided for a reimbursement for services provided by the Company plus a mark-up and totaled $0.1 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s contractual obligation was to assist with these transition services for a period of up to three years subsequent to the date of the sale, although the level of such activity declined significantly during 2011 and 2012. The transition services agreement was terminated by the purchaser on September 30, 2012.
 
Miscellaneous income includes income received pursuant to the transition services agreement related to general and administrative support to the purchaser of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business and sublease revenues received by the Company from tenants under terms of sublease agreements. These transitional services were $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Sublease revenues of $0.7 million and $0.6 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively, relate to the Company’s leased facility in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which commenced in 2009 and ran through October 2012, and excess leased office space in Bridgewater, New Jersey, which commenced in 2011 as a result of the first quarter relocation to Piscataway, New Jersey and ran through January 2013. Sublease income in 2013, aggregated approximately $87,000, with approximately $16,000 relating to Axcellerate Pharma, LLC, the Company's subtenant at its Piscataway, New Jersey facility.
