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 and $33,088, respectively, in income for each of the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012. The balance of deferred revenue from this license is $488,971 at August 31, 2013 and will be amortized into revenue through October 2024.
