Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases its office facilities, located in Concord, California and Amersfoort, The Netherlands, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year that require the Company to pay operating costs, property taxes, insurance and maintenance. The operating leases expire at various dates through 2019, with certain of the leases providing for renewal options, provisions for adjusting future lease payments, which is based on the consumer price index and the right to terminate the lease early, which may occur as early as February 2016. In June 2013, the Company entered into a new lease for additional space in Concord. The lease has a two year initial term with four (4) two year options for the Company to renew. The lease commenced on August 1, 2013, and obligates the Company to pay rent payments of approximately $39,000 for the remaining three months of 2014 and approximately $90,000 for fiscal year 2015. The Company’s leased facilities qualify as operating leases under ASC Topic 840, “Leases” and as such, are not included on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Financed Leasehold Improvements

In 2010, the Company financed $1.1 million of leasehold improvements at one of its facilities in Concord, California. The Company pays for the financed leasehold improvements as a component of rent and is required to reimburse its landlord over the remaining life of the lease. At September 30, 2014, the Company had an outstanding liability of $0.6 million related to these leasehold improvements, of which $0.1 million was reflected in “Accrued liabilities” and $0.5 million was reflected in “Other non-current liabilities” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Purchase Commitments

The Company is party to agreements with certain providers for certain components of INTERCEPT Blood System which the Company purchases from third party manufacturers and supplies to Fresenius at no cost for use in manufacturing finished INTERCEPT disposable kits. Certain of these agreements require minimum purchase commitments from the Company.

In June 2014, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with one of its distributors in certain countries and entered into an agreement to provide for specific post-termination obligations (the “Transition Agreement”). The Transition Agreement expired September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a liability for the repurchase of spare parts at the price originally paid by the distributor and 2,000 INTERCEPT disposable kits purchased by the distributor during the third quarter of 2014 resulting in deferred revenue. The Company is also required to pay this former distributor a fee of €10 per disposable kit for platelet systems sold by the Company to any customer in certain countries commencing with the termination of the agreement through April 1, 2018, subject to a maximum payment of €3 million. As this former distributor will remain as a customer in other countries, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” any fees paid to the former distributor related to INTERCEPT disposable kits will be offset against the revenue associated with the sale of INTERCEPT disposable kits in those territories.
