Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues primarily from (i) the sale of polymer products and (ii) license, royalty and development agreements.

Product Sales

Revenues generated from the sale of polymer products is recognized upon shipment, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is deemed reasonably assured. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, we recognize revenues when those uncertainties are resolved and title has been transferred to the customer. Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.

License, Royalty and Development Fees

We also receive license, royalty and development fees, pursuant to agreements with our customers, for the use of our proprietary polymer biomaterials. The terms of the various license, royalty and development agreements may contain multiple deliverables which may include (i) licenses to use our polymer biomaterials in the customer’s end-product medical device, (ii) research and development activities, (iii) services and/or (iv) the manufacturing of polymer biomaterials. Payments made to us under these agreements may include non-refundable license fees, payments for research and development activities, payments for the manufacture of polymer materials, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, payments for the use of our polymer biomaterials in the customer’s end-product, and/or royalties earned on the sale of the customer’s end-product.
