NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Proceedings

The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position and brand. To the best knowledge of the Company’s management, at March 31, 2015 there are no legal proceedings which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Contingent Stock Consideration

On May 30, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of SKS Ocular, LLC, and SKS Ocular 1, LLC, including licenses, patents and contracts relating to micro-fabrication polymer-based sustained delivery platforms related to ocular therapeutics and dry age-related macular degeneration animal models, together with biomarkers to support such models.

 

The purchase price consisted of: (a) Cash in the amount of $3,500,000; (b) 1,194,862 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $10,180,224 based on the trading price on May 30, 2014 of the Company’s common stock) and (c) an additional 1,493,577 shares (the “contingent shares”) that will be issued contingent to achievement of certain milestones. This contingent consideration has been recorded as a liability of the Company and is reviewed by management for probability and likelihood of the milestones being achieved at each reporting period. The fair value of the liability is adjusted in each reporting period according to management’s assessment (see Note 2).
