Note 4 - Licensing Agreement

In March 2014, the Company entered into an Exclusive Marketing Rights Agreement with an unrelated third party that granted to the third party the exclusive right to market and promote the sugarBEAT device and related patches under its own brand in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The Company received a non-refundable, upfront cash payment of GBP 1,000,000 (approximately $1.325 million and $1.432 million as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 respectively), which is wholly non-refundable, upon signing the agreement.

 

As the Company has continuing performance obligations under the agreement, the upfront fees received from this agreement have been deferred and will be recorded as income over the term of the commercial licensing agreement.

 

In April 2014, a Letter of Intent was signed with the same unrelated third party, which specified a 10 year term and in November 2015 a Licence, Supply and Distribution agreement with an initial 5 year term was executed.  In addition, in November 2015, we entered into a joint venture agreement with the third party, whereby we will share the costs and net profits of the sales of the sugarBEAT system in all territories in Europe, with the exception of the territories that are subject to the separate licensing agreement as described above.  The full commercial agreement is expected to be signed towards the end of 2016.
