Note 12. LICENSING AND OTHER REVENUE

 In 2009, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Handok Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Handok”) pursuant to which the Company granted Handok a license to develop, use, market, sell and import Symphony for continuous glucose monitoring for use by medical facilities and/or individual consumers in South Korea (the “Handok License”). The Handok License has a minimum term of 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of Symphony in South Korea.

 

 The Company received a licensing fee of approximately $500,000 upon execution of the Handok License as well as the right to receive future milestone payments and royalties. The Company recognizes the upfront, nonrefundable payments as revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual or estimated performance period. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded approximately $23,000 and $31,000, respectively, of nonrefundable license revenue.  As of March 31, 2013, approximately $68,000 of deferred revenue remains unrecognized, which is recognizable over the next 12 months and shown as Deferred Revenue From Licensing Arrangements among current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Approximately $90,000 of the remaining deferred revenue will be earned in excess of 12 months and is shown as non-current Deferred Revenue.
