Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the annual report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except for the revenue recognition for the BARDA contract for the option to procure the RECELL system as described below. See the summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies set forth in the notes to its consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period Consolidated Statement of Operations have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported operating expense, loss before taxes, net loss and earnings per share.

After the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company concluded that the presentation of share-based compensation should be reclassified to the functional expense line items consistent with cash compensation in accordance with SAB Topic 14. The Company has determined that such change in presentation of prior period amounts in the Statement of Operations is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company reclassified share-based compensation expense of $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to sales and marketing expense of $213,000, general and administrative expense of $8.6 million and research and development expenses of  $193,000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company reclassified share-based compensation of $12.6 million to sales and marketing expense of $584,000, general and administrative expense of $11.5 million and research and development expenses of $497,000. 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result of the Redomiciliation, the parent company of the AVITA Group changed from AVITA Medical to AVITA Medical, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts including doubtful accounts, carrying value of long-lived asset, the useful lives of long-lived assets, inventory, accounting for income taxes and share-based compensation and related disclosures. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the current and available information. However, actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Transactions

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s operating non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally determined using the respective local currency as the functional currency of that subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses and were a gain of $8,000 and a loss of $106,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 amounts were not significant. The Company’s non-operating subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from these remeasurements and foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded losses of $16,000 and $131,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the amounts were not significant. 

Revenue Recognition

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applicable to all contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. This update outlined a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also required additional qualitative disclosures, refer to Note 12 – Revenues for further information.

The Company’s revenue consists primarily of the sale of the RECELL System to hospitals or other treatment centers and to BARDA (collectively, “customers”), predominately in the United States. The Company evaluated the BARDA contract and concluded that a portion of the arrangement, such as the procurement of the RECELL system and the emergency preparedness, represents a transaction with a customer and as such are in the scope of ASC 606. Amounts received from BARDA for the research and development of the Company’s product are classified as BARDA income in the consolidated statement of operations and are accounted for under IAS 20. For further details refer to BARDA Income and Receivables below.

Revenues for commercial customers (hospitals and treatment centers) are recognized as control of the product is transferred to customers, at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the product. Revenues are recognized net of volume discounts. As such, revenue is recognized only to the extent a significant reversal of revenues is not expected to occur in subsequent periods. For the Company’s contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company used the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. The Company has further applied the practical expedient to exclude sales tax in the transaction price and expense contract fulfilment costs such as commissions and shipping and handling expenses as incurred.

For revenues related to the BARDA contract, the Company identified two performance obligations (i) the procurement of 5,614 RECELL units, (ii) emergency preparedness services. Through this contract the Company promises to procure the product through a vendor management inventory arrangement and to stand ready to provide emergency deployment services related to the product. Emergency preparedness services include procuring necessary storage containers, housing, and maintaining the containers (and product), and providing shipping and handling services in the event of an emergency situation. This stand ready obligation is a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, overtime as services are consumed.

The total transaction price of the parts of the BARDA contract was determined to be $9.2 million. The transaction price was allocated on a stand-alone selling price basis as follows: $7.6 million to the procurement of the RECELL product, which will be classified as revenues when recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and $1.6 million to the emergency deployment services which will be classified as revenues when recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The $1.6 million for emergency deployment includes variable consideration which is deemed immaterial to the contract as a whole. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the procurement of the RECELL product based on historical pricing of the Company’s product at the initial execution of the contract. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the emergency deployment services performed based on the Company’s projected cost of providing the services plus an applicable profit margin as denoted in the contract.

The Company’s performance obligations are either satisfied at a point in time or over time as services are provided. The product procurement performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon transfer of control of the product. As such, the related revenue for these performance obligations is recognized at a point in time as revenue within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In addition to guidance under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sales of RECELL product to BARDA for placement into vaccine stockpiles in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Interpretation, Commission Guidance regarding Accounting for Sale of Vaccines and BioTerror Countermeasures to the Federal Government for Placement into the Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile or the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when product is placed in the BARDA vendor-managed inventory as control of the product has been transferred to the customer at the time of delivery to the VMI. RECELL units that have been delivered to the BARDA have a product replacement obligation at no cost to BARDA due to product’s limited shelf-life. The estimated cost of the expired inventory over the term of the contract is accrued on a per unit basis at the time of delivery. The liability is released upon replacement of the product along with a corresponding reduction to inventory. The Company has estimated deferred cost of approximately $198,000 as of March 31, 2021 for the rotation of the product. Such amounts are recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the amounts of $179,000 and $19,000, respectively. The emergency preparedness services performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue for the emergency deployment will be recognized on a straight-line basis during the term of the contract as services are consumed over time. Services recognized over the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 are $58,000 and are included in sales within the consolidated statement of operations. Contract costs to fulfil the performance obligation are incremental and expected to be recovered are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 contract costs of $488,000 and $0 are included in other long-term assets, respectively.

Contract Liabilities

The Company receives payments from customers based on contractual terms. Trade receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company satisfies its performance obligation on product sales when the products are shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the sale. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-90 days, and do not include a financing component. Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to satisfying its obligation to transfer goods to a customer. The Company had $999,000 and $435,000 of contract liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Concentrations  

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, and trade receivables, BARDA receivables and other receivables. As of March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2020, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at financial institutions, and amounts exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which its cash is held.

As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, no single commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable. BARDA receivables for the procurement of the RECELL system and emergency preparedness accounted for approximately 85% of BARDA receivables. See table below for breakdown of BARDA receivables.

	As of March 31, 2021		As of June 30, 2020
BARDA procurement and emergency preparedness services	$	2,767	$	—
BARDA expense reimbursements		483		356
Total	$	3,250	$	356

For the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2021, no single commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 12% of total revenues. Revenues from the BARDA contract accounted for approximately 47% and approximately 22% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Prior to the current quarter BARDA had not yet procured the RECELL product.  

Restricted Cash

Pursuant to a contractual agreement with American Express to maintain the business credit card, the Company must maintain restricted cash deposits which amounted to approximately $201,000 and $201,000 as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

BARDA Income and Receivables

The AVITA Group was awarded a Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) contract in September 2015. Under this arrangement BARDA supported the Company’s research and development for the Company’s product, including the ongoing U.S. clinical regulatory program targeted towards PMA, our compassionate use program, clinical and health economics research. The BARDA contract supports the Company’s ongoing Pediatric Scalds clinical trial.

Consideration received under the BARDA arrangement is earned and recognized under a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement in which the Company is reimbursed for direct costs incurred plus allowable indirect costs and a fixed-fee earned. Billings under the contracts are based on approved provisional indirect billing rates, which permit recovery of fringe benefits, general and administrative expenses and a fixed fee.

The Company has concluded that grants under the BARDA relationship is not within the scope of ASC 606, as it does not meet the definition of a contract with a “customer.” The Company has further concluded that Subtopic 958-605, Not-for-Profit-Entities-Revenue Recognition also does not apply, as the Company is a business entity and the payments are with governmental agencies or units. With respect to the BARDA arrangement, we considered the guidance in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy. BARDA income and related receivables are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the amount will be received, and all attaching conditions have been complied with. When the payment relates to an expense item, the amount received is recognized as income over the period when the expense was incurred.

Share-based compensation

The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the fair market value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is measured based on the number of shares ultimately expected to vest, estimated at each reporting date based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. The Black-Scholes option price model and Monte Carlo Simulation were used to estimate the fair value of the time-based and performance-based options, respectively. Under ASU 2016-09, ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
