| Purchase Agreement [Text Block] |
On March 21, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase, Supply and Support Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Molteni pursuant to which Molteni acquired the European intellectual property related to Probuphine, including the Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) under review by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), and will have the exclusive right to commercialize the Probuphine product supplied by us in Europe, as well as certain countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and North Africa (the “Molteni Territory”). We received an initial payment of €2.0 million (approximately $2.4 million) for the purchased assets and will receive additional potential payments totaling upon the achievement of certain regulatory and product label milestones. Additionally, we are entitled to receive earn-out payments for up to 15 years on net sales of Probuphine in the Molteni Territory ranging in percentage from the low-teens to the mid-twenties. We concluded that the performance obligations identified in the Purchase Agreement included the transfer of the intellectual property and our efforts towards the approval by the EMA and other regulatory bodies. The initial closing payment was allocated between the property transfer and our EMA efforts as set forth below
.
We used the expected cost-plus approach to estimate the standalone selling price of
approximately $
1.4
104 ,000 per month over the period from July 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019. If the facts and circumstances change, we will reassess these assumptions. The costs associated with these services will be expensed over the same period. We used the residual approach to value the transfer of the intellectual property at approximately $1.0 million as we had not established and had no reliable way to establish a standalone selling price for the intellectual property. As a result of the outcome of the milestone and earn-out payments being unpredictable due to the involvement of third parties, we believe that using the most likely amount method is appropriate. Any subsequent revenue related to milestone and earn-out payments will be recognized at the time the milestones are achieved or when the related net sales have occurred. The Purchase Agreement
provides that we will supply Molteni with semi-finished product (i.e., the implant, the applicator and related technology) on an exclusive basis at a fixed price through December 31, 2019, with subsequent price increases not to exceed annual cost increases to us for the active pharmaceutical ingredient and under our current manufacturing agreement. Revenue will be recognized when the semi-finished product has been transferred to Molteni.
Molteni will be prohibited from marketing a Competitor Product (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in the Molteni Territory for the five year period following approval of the MAA. Thereafter, Molteni will be required to pay us a low single digit royalty on net sales of any Competitor Product.
The following table presents changes in contract assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018:
On August 3, 2018, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Purchase Agreement with Molteni. Under the Amendment, Molteni made an immediate payment to us of €950,000 (approximately $1.1 million) and committed to make a convertible loan to us of €550,000 (approximately $0.6 million) provided we have submitted our response to the 120-day letter from the EMA on or prior to September 14, 2018 in accordance with the Amendment, both in exchange for the elimination of an aggregate of €2.0 million (approximately $2.3 million) of regulatory milestones provided for in the Purchase Agreement that are potentially payable in 2019, at the earliest. The loan (the “Convertible Loan”) was made on September 18, 2018 and will convert automatically into shares of our common stock upon the issuance by the EMA of marketing approval for Probuphine at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) the closing price on the loan funding date and (ii) the closing price on the conversion date. In the event the EMA has not granted marketing approval by December 31, 2019, the Convertible Loan will become due and payable, together with accrued interest at the rate of one-month LIBOR (to the extent in excess of 1.10%) plus 9.50% per annum. We concluded that the approximately $1.1 million immediate payment by Molteni reflected a milestone payment with no additional obligations to us and therefore was recognized as revenue during the three month period ended September 30, 2018. Due to the conversion provision of the Convertible Loan, ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging required that we classify this as an embedded derivative and changes in the fair value were recorded in the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Convertible Loan contains other covenants and events of default substantially consistent with the Restated Loan Agreement described in Note 8. “Debt Agreements. ”The key assumptions used to value the Convertible Loan embedded derivative were as follows:
