Investment in Ruthigen, Inc.

The Company’s long-term investments consisted of the Company’s ownership of 1,650,000 shares of Ruthigen common stock at March 31, 2015. During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company sold its remaining 1,650,000 shares of Ruthigen common stock for proceeds of $4,537,500 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with two investors. Additionally, in the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company paid a $165,000 banker fee related to the sale transaction.

 

On January 8, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its 2,000,000 shares in Ruthigen to two accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 upon the occurrence of a trigger event during a standstill period of 60 calendar days. The securities purchase agreement lapsed according to its terms, however, as a result of the Company entering into the agreement, the Company determined that the carrying value of the shares held in Ruthigen were impaired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $4,650,000 which represents the difference between cost and aggregate purchase price of $2.75 per share the Company agreed to sell its interest in Ruthigen.
