Note D. Australian Refundable Research & Development Credit
 
In March 2014, LipimetiX Development LLC, (see Note B) formed a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Lipimetix Australia Pty Ltd, to conduct Phase 1a and Phase1b/2a clinical trials in Australia. Currently Australian tax regulations provide for a refundable research and development tax credit equal to 45% of qualified expenditures. Subsequent to the end of its Australian tax years, Lipimetix Australia Pty, Ltd intends to submit claims for a refundable research and development tax credit. The transitional Australian tax periods/years granted for Lipimetix Australia Pty, Ltd end on June 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and thereafter December 31 of each succeeding year. For the tax year ended June 30, 2014, Lipimetix Australia Pty, Ltd received a refundable research and development tax credit of AUD$227,000. At December 31, 2014 a AUD$242,000 development tax credit was recorded by Lipimetix Australia Pty, Ltd, and at June 30, 2015, an additional AUD$251,000 has been accrued, as it is more likely than not that the recorded refundable research and development tax credit will be approved and received. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, AUD$493,000 (US$ 380,000), and AUD$242,000 (US$196,000), respectively, have been accrued and are included in other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
