Note 8 – License Agreements

During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company executed a license agreement with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new PRO 140 material. In connection with this license agreement, the Company became the primary obligor of an additional £600,000 (approximately US$807,000 utilizing then-current exchange rates), which was timely paid by June 30, 2016. During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company accrued an additional expense of £600,000 (approximately US$870,000 utilizing then-current exchange rates) in connection with the June 30, 2016 obligation. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether the Company manufactures PRO 140, utilizes the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilizes an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee of £300,000 (approximately US$380,000) when it serves as the manufacturer. As of February 28, 2017 the Company has accrued approximately $67,000 of the $380,000 annual calendar-year license fee, which is payable December 2017.
