NOTE 9:LICENSING AGREEMENTS

 

On July 28, 2006, the Company entered into a nonexclusive, royalty free license agreement with an entity for the technology used to research and develop new viral therapies, and an exclusive royalty-bearing license requiring a small percentage of revenue received by the Company on future products developed and sold with a payment cap of $10,000,000. The Company paid the entity an initial license fee and granted one of the entity’s officers the right to purchase 1,000,000 Founder’s shares in the Company at price of $0.001 pursuant to a separate stock purchase agreement. The Company also granted the entity a royalty-free non-exclusive license to use any improvements made on the existing technology for research purposes only. The Company and the entity have the right to sublicense with written permission of each party. In the event that the entity sublicenses or sells the improved technology to a third party, then a portion of the total payments, to be decided by mutual agreement, will be due to the Company.

 

 

The Company is obligated to make the following milestone payments to the entity based on commencement of various clinical trials and submissions of an application to the FDA for regulatory approval: 

 

Amount

 

 

Date due

$ 50,000   Within 30 days of commencement of Phase I/II clinical trial.
     
  50,000   Within 30 days of commencement of a separate Phase II trial as required by the FDA.
     
 300,000   Within 30 days of commencement of a Phase III trial.
     
 500,000   Within 30 days of submission of a biological license application or a new drug application with the FDA.

 

Total milestone payments are not to exceed $900,000 and can only be paid one time and will not repeat for subsequent products. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, no milestones have been achieved.

 

The agreement will remain in effect as long as the patent rights remain in effect. Adamis has the right to terminate the agreement if it is determined that no viable product can come from the technology. Adamis would be required to transfer and assign all filings, rights and other information in its control if termination occurs. Adamis would retain the same royalty rights for license, or sublicense, agreements if the technology is later developed into a product.

 

Either party may terminate the license agreement in the event of a material breach of the agreement by the other party that has not been cured or corrected within 90 days of notice of the breach.

 

On September 22, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with an entity to manufacture an influenza vaccine for the Company. The agreement requires the Company to pay $70,000 upon commencement of the project, followed by monthly payments based upon services performed until the project is complete. No product has been manufactured and no payments have been made as of March 31, 2012. Once the project begins, the total payments will aggregate $283,420. The project has an open ended start time. Adamis may terminate the agreement upon notice to the other party, other than reimbursing the other party for non-cancellable materials and supplies ordered, and work in progress, through the date of the termination.

 

On February 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Colby Pharmaceutical Company (“Colby”) to acquire three separate exclusive license agreements, covering three small molecule anti-inflammatory compounds, named APC-100, APC-200 and APC-300, for the potential treatment of human prostate cancer, or PCa, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. Colby licensed the patents, patent applications and related intellectual property relating to the compounds pursuant to license agreements with a third party (“WARF”). Pursuant to the agreement as amended, on February 25, 2010, the Company was assigned and transferred the license agreement relating to the APC-300 compound in consideration of the issuance of 800,000 shares of common stock to Colby. The transfer of the license agreements relating to APC-100 and APC-200 occurred at a subsequent closing, pursuant to an amendment to the original agreement. Under the amendment, Colby assigned and transferred to the Company the license agreements relating to APC-100 and APC-200 in consideration for the issuance to Colby of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Additionally, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares to each of two parties related to Colby, for consulting services rendered to the Company in connection with the intellectual property covered by the license agreements.

 

 

Under the agreements, with respect to sublicenses granted by the Company, the Company is to pay WARF according to the following schedule:

 

1.Forty percent (40%) of amounts received under each agreement entered into before an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application is filed by the Company with the Federal Drug Administration ("FDA") for a Product made a subject of the sublicense.
  
2.Thirty percent (30%) of amounts received under each agreement entered into after the filing of an IND under item (1) above until completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial by the Company for that Product.
  
3.Twenty-five percent (25%) of amounts received under each agreement entered into after completion of item (2) above until completion of a Phase II clinical trial by the Company for that Product.
  
4.Twenty percent (20%) of amounts received under each agreement entered into after completion of item (3) above until a New Drug Application ("NDA") has been approved by the FDA for that Product.
  
5.Ten percent (10%) of amounts received under each agreement entered into after the NDA has been approved by the FDA for that Product.

 

Milestone Payments are outlined below:

 

1.$25,000 upon the filing of the first IND or comparable regulatory filing for a human therapeutic Product.
  
2.$150,000 upon the enrollment of its first patient under a Phase II clinical trial for the first human therapeutic Product.

These milestone payments occur only once for each of the compounds
