On June 9, 2022, we signed a license agreement with BexCaFe, LLC (BexCaFe) for the development and commercialization of products related to an oral treatment intended to reduce glucose levels in diabetic cats. BexCaFe held the rights to the compound through a license agreement with similar terms and conditions. We will incur all development and regulatory costs associated with the products. Based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, we determined that BexCaFe represents a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of BexCaFe because the terms of the license give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. As a result, we consolidated BexCaFe, a development-stage company with no employees that did not meet the definition of a business, as of the date we signed the license agreement. Upon initial consolidation of BexCaFe, we measured an IPR&D asset at its fair value of $59 million and recorded liabilities totaling $59 million, which include contingent consideration of $49 million based on the fair value of estimated future milestone payments and sales royalties owed under the license agreement. These liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. The fair value of the contingent payments was calculated based on an income approach, with payments adjusted for probability of success and then discounted to a present value. There is no minimum payout due on the contingent consideration and the maximum payout is unlimited. Since BexCaFe did not meet the definition of a business, no goodwill was recorded and immediately after initial consolidation, we expensed the IPR&D asset because we concluded that it did not have an alternative future use. This amount is included in asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Subsequent to the effective date of the license agreement, our condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of BexCaFe. Based on the guidance in ASC 810, income and expense between us and BexCaFe have been eliminated against the income or expense included in the financial statements of BexCaFe. The resulting amounts after the effect of these eliminations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and were not material.
