On December 18, 2020, Journey entered an Asset Purchase Agreement with a third party (the “Anti-itch Product Agreement”) for a topical product that is indicated to treat scabies and skin itch conditions (“Anti-itch Product”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Anti-itch Product Agreement, Journey agreed to pay $4.0 million, comprised of a non-refundable deposit of $0.2 million upon the execution of the term sheet, a cash upfront payment of $1.8 million on January 1, 2021 and additional future payments of $0.5 million on April 1, 2021, $0.5 million on July 1, 2021, and $1.0 million on January 1, 2022. There are no subsequent milestone payments or royalties beyond the aforementioned payments.  Commercial launch of this product is expected in the third quarter of 2021.

The Company, in accordance with ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determined the purchase of the Anti-itch Product did not constitute the purchase of a business, and therefore recorded the purchase price of the Anti-itch Product as an asset, to be amortized over the life of the product, which is deemed to be three years.

On July 29, 2020, Journey entered into a License and Supply Agreement with a third party to acquire intellectual property rights to an oral acne product that is indicated for the treatment of severe acne (the “Isotretinoin Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Isotretinoin Agreement, Journey agreed to pay  $5.0 million, comprised of an upfront payment of $1.0 million paid upon execution with remaining payments due as follows: $0.5 million upon achievement of a regulatory approval milestone and $0.5 million upon the delivery of the first order and $3.0 million due in $1.0 million installments, on the 18-month anniversary, the 24-month anniversary and the 36-month anniversary of execution of the Isotretinoin Agreement. Three additional milestone payments totaling $17.0 million are contingent upon the achievement of certain net sales milestones. Royalties in the low-double digits based on net sales, subject to specified reductions are also due.  Commercial launch of this product is expected in the second quarter of 2021.

The Company, in accordance with ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determined the purchase of the Isotretinoin Agreement did not constitute the purchase of a business, and therefore recorded the purchase price of the Isotretinoin Agreement as an asset, to be amortized over the life of the product, which is deemed to be five years.

On July 22, 2019 Journey purchased Ximino®, a minocycline hydrochloride used to treat acne from a third party. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”), total consideration for the APA is $9.4 million, comprised of an upfront payment of $2.4 million payable within 60 days after execution on September 22, 2019. The remaining four payments totaling $7.0 million are due in consecutive years commencing on the second anniversary of execution of the APA. In addition, Journey is obligated to pay royalties in the mid-single digits based on net sales of Ximino, subject to specified reductions.

The Company, in accordance with ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determined the purchase of Ximino did not constitute the purchase of a business, and therefore recorded the purchase price of Ximino as an asset, to be amortized over the life of the product, which is deemed to be seven years. In addition, the Company determined pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies, that royalty payments in connection with the APA will be recorded when they become payable with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

In accordance with the terms of the APA Journey will incur interest expense in the event of payment default. As such per ASC 835-30 Interest-Imputed Interest, Journey recorded an initial discount for imputed interest of $2.3 million.
