No need to wait for an update as they have already occurred. It's surprising they have been omitted from the due diligence.
Thailand License Agreement
On October 23, 2012, the Company sent a letter to StemCells 21 Co. Ltd. (the “Thailand Licensee”) pursuant to which the Company notified the Thailand Licensee that it intends to terminate the Laboratory Services License Agreement, dated April 7, 2012 by and between the Company and Thailand Licensee (the “Thailand Agreement”), effective immediately. The Company is terminating the Thailand Agreement, for, among other things, Thailand Licensee’s (i) attempt to determine the Technology (as defined in the Thailand Agreement) for Tissue Processing (as defined in the Thailand Agreement), (ii) failure to provide monthly reports summarizing Thailand Licensee’s efforts to utilize and commercially exploit the Patents (as defined in the Thailand Agreement) and Technology, (iii) operation of the Technology without using the name “Intellicell Thailand”, (iv) operation of the Technology in ways that fall outside the scope of the Thailand Agreement and (v) failure to notify the Company of infringing uses of the Technology. Pursuant to the terms of the Thailand Agreement, the Thailand Licensee has ten (10) business days to cure an event of default under the Thailand Agreement (except for termination of the Thailand Agreement as set forth in subsection (i) above which allows the Company to terminate the Thailand Agreement immediately). The Company has accrued $150,000 in the License Fee Liability upon the determination of amount of the fees, if any, to be returned to the former Thailand Licensee.
Australia License Agreement
On December 16, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive lab services agreement (the “Australian Agreement”) with Cell-Innovations Pty Ltd. (“Australian Licensee”) pursuant to which the Company granted Australian Licensee the exclusive right and license to the Company’s technology and trademarks so that the Australian Licensee can utilize the Company’s technology and trademarks to provide tissue processing services for humans in Australia and New Zealand. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company and Australian Licensee are in a dispute over the some of the terms of the Australian Agreement, including, but not limited to, compliance by Australian Licensee with ICB Protocols (as defined in the Australian Agreement). While the Company has commenced discussions with the Australian Licensee concerning the disputes that have arisen under the terms of the Australian Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company and the Australian Licensee will come to any mutual understanding with respect to any of the issues in question. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is continuing to evaluate what further action(s), if any, it make take in response to the dispute with the Australian Licensee, which action(s) may include, but not be limited to, terminating the Australian Agreement. The Company has accrued $700,000 in the License Fee Liability upon the determination of amount of the fees, if any, to be returned to the former Australian Licensee.
This one takes a little understanding and one needs to look at the start date 12/15/2011 and this sentence:
Either party may terminate the agreement, for among other things, the failure to cure a material breach of the agreement within 10 business days or if either party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, commences proceedings under bankruptcy law or licensee is unable to generate at least $500,000 in fees payable to us with any eighteen (18) month period during the Term.
Eighteen months is 6/15/2013. Given the company reported zero revenues for any quarter in 2013 plus acknowledging that revenues in 2012 were primarily from RegenMedical (which were later forgiven), this agreement may or may not be terminated. By the conditions of the agreement the Company is well within their right to do so but given the Canadian licensee also bought the Company's Series D preferreds at the time of licensing, I suspect the Company may be putting them on hold and are waiting. For what, your guess is as good as mine.
Perhaps it has had something to do with this part of the agreement:
If the agreement is terminated for non-performance as described above, we shall repurchase the license from the licensee for an amount equal to two times the license fee earned by the licensee through the date of such termination.
The Company has been cash strapped for so long they couldn't terminate the agreement even if they wanted to.
Canadian License Agreement
On December 15, 2011, we entered into an exclusive lab services agreement with Regenastem, Inc., a Canadian corporation, pursuant to which we granted the licensee the exclusive right and license to utilize our proprietary process as well as our trademarks for the purpose of providing tissue processing services for humans and animals in Canada. The agreement had an initial term ending on August 26, 2031, and shall continue on successive five-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party. Either party may terminate the agreement, for among other things, the failure to cure a material breach of the agreement within 10 business days or if either party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, commences proceedings under bankruptcy law or licensee is unable to generate at least $500,000 in fees payable to us with any eighteen (18) month period during the Term. We may terminate the agreement, if among other things, the licensee fails to follow our protocol for tissue processing or if the licensee fails to report any tissue processing case to us. If the agreement is terminated for non-performance as described above, we shall repurchase the license from the licensee for an amount equal to two times the license fee earned by the licensee through the date of such termination.
In addition, licensee agreed to invest $500,000 in our Series D Preferred Stock financing, $250,000 of which was invested in December 2011 after the signing of the license and the remaining $250,000 of which was invested in January 2012. The parties agreed that, within one hundred and twenty (120) days before the expiration of the term, the licensee will pay a renewal fee of $500,000 for the next 10 years and/or two 5 year renewal terms in total. For each tissue processing case performed by licensee, the licensee is required to pay us, on a monthly basis, a fee of thirty percent (30%) of the fess designated by us for tissue processing. In addition, for each laboratory facility set up by the licensee, the licensee shall pay us 30% of the net profit realized from the establishment of such laboratory facility.
The status of these three licensees has still not been clarified by the Company. But note that the Company is still reporting in its financials (as of the last 10-Q dated 11/25/2013 for the period ending 9/30/2013) a License Fees Payable Current Liability of $1,222,500. You can find this on page 3 here:
Financials are your friends. Anyone interested in the Company can read all the 8-Ks they want from the Company site but it's the 10-Qs/Ks that provide the actual status of these agreements and whether they are contributing as they were intended. None of these three are contributing anything.
