Patent payable

 

As part of the formation of the Company, a patent license was transferred to the Company. The original license began in 2006. Under the terms of the license the Company agrees to pay $10,000 per year through 2015 and royalties of 2% on any revenues resulting from the license. There were no revenues generated by this license during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from inception to March 31, 2014. The remaining obligation of $20,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is recorded as patent license payable on the balance sheet.

 

Employee settlement

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company owed a former employee a settlement payable in the amount of $50,000 for accrued vacation benefits. As part of the settlement, a stock option previously granted to the former employee was fully vested and extended.
