5. ROYALTIES

 

The Company is a party to two licensing agreements with SensorMedics and VivoMetrics. The Company previously received royalty income from the sale of its diagnostic monitoring hardware and software from SensorMedics and previously received royalties from VivoMetrics prior to its bankruptcy.

 

Royalty income from the SensorMedics license amounted to $0 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2016, and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015. There were no royalties recognized from VivoMetrics for the three and six months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015. VivoMetrics ceased operations in July 2009 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2009. Under VivoMetrics’ proposed bankruptcy plan of reorganization, our license with VivoMetrics was assigned to another company; however, there can be no assurance as to the future amount of royalty income, if any, that may result from this license or from our existing license with SensorMedics.
