NOTE 6. LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND DEFERRED REVENUE

 

On October 9, 2007, MultiCell executed an exclusive license and purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Corning Incorporated (“Corning”) of Corning, New York. Under the terms of the Agreement, Corning has the right to develop, use, manufacture, and sell MultiCell’s Fa2N-4 cell lines and related cell culture media for use as a drug discovery assay tool, including biomarker identification for the development of drug development assay tools, and for the performance of absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity assays (ADME/Tox assays). MultiCell retained and will continue to support its existing licensee, Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”). MultiCell retains the right to use the Fa2N-4 cells for use in applications not related to drug discovery or ADME/Tox assays. MultiCell also retains rights to use the Fa2N-4 cell lines and other cell lines to further develop its Sybiol® liver assist device, to identify drug targets and for other applications related to the Company’s internal drug development programs. Corning paid MultiCell $750,000 in consideration for the license granted. The Company is recognizing the income ratably over a 17 year period. The Company recognized $11,029 in income for the three months ended each of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. The balance of deferred revenue from this license is $511,030 at February 28, 2013 and will be amortized into revenue through October 2024.

  

The Company has another license agreement with Pfizer, for which revenue is being deferred. The Company recognized revenue from the agreement with Pfizer in the amount of $1,300 for the three months ended each of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. The balance of deferred revenue from the agreement with Pfizer is $24,700 at February 28, 2013, which will be amortized into revenue through January 2018.
