Here is the part that pertains to MCET.

MultiCell Immunotherapeutics, Inc. (MCIT) License Agreement. Oxis licensed exclusive rights to three antibody-drug conjugates ( ADCs) that MCIT will prepare for further evaluation by Oxis as prospective therapeutics for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer, and multiple myeloma and associated osteolytic bone disease. Under the terms of the agreement, MCIT will develop three ADC product candidates which contain Oxis' lead drug candidates OXS-2175 and OXS-4235. Oxis paid MCIT a license fee of $500,000 and will reimburse MCIT up to $1.125 million for its development costs to make the three ADCs exclusively licensed to Oxis. Assuming all clinical development milestones are achieved and manufacturing rights to the three ADCs purchased, Oxis will pay MCIT an additional sum of $22.75 million and pay a royalty of 3% of net yearly worldwide sales upon marketing approval of the ADCs.

MCIT's ADC platform technology is based on unique multivalent, cleavable linkers that allow drugs tethered to the antibody to be released intracellularly or extracellularly upon binding of the antibody to the target cell. Additionally, the MCIT's ADC technology platform allows multiple drugs to be attached per targeting antibody, and to release the drugs in their original form without modification of the drug.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research and development activities related to continuing operations were $1,000,000 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $475,000 and $250,000 of research and development expenses.

Our currently projected expenditures for 2016 include approximately $4-$5 million for research and development. The actual cost of our programs could differ significantly from our current projections if we change our planned development process. In the event that actual costs of our clinical program, or any of our other ongoing research activities, are significantly higher than our current estimates, we may be required to significantly modify our planned level of operations.
