ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS We are a biopharmaceutical company involved in the development of an injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum, or CCH, for multiple indications. We currently have a development and license agreement with Endo Global Ventures International plc (together with Endo International plc, an affiliate of Endo Global Ventures, “Endo”) for injectable collagenase for marketed indications and indications in development. Endo assumed this agreement when Endo acquired Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Auxilium”) on January 29, 2015 (the “Acquisition”). CCH is marketed as XIAFLEX® (or XIAPEX® in Europe). On February 5, 2016, we announced that we had entered into with Endo the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Development and Licensing Agreement (the “Auxilium Agreement”), by and between us and Auxilium, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endo, to amend certain provisions of the Auxilium Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment, the “License Agreement”). The effective date of the First Amendment was January 1, 2016. Pursuant to the First Amendment, we and Endo mutually agreed that in exchange for a $8.25 million lump sum payment, we will not receive future additional mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S.; provided, however, that Endo will still be required to pay a mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales made in the "Endo Territory," which includes sales made in the U.S. and sales made in any other country where Endo sells the product directly or through affiliated sublicensees. We received this $8.25 million lump sum payment in February 2016 and began recognizing this income over time based on sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. according to our revenue recognition policy in the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, we agreed that Endo may opt-in early to indications, prior to our submission of a clinical trial report, with our consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. For early opt-ins, Endo will be required to make an opt-in payment of $0.5 million on a per indication basis. For regular opt-ins, following our submission of a clinical trial report, Endo will be required to make an opt-in payment on a per indication basis. The two marketed indications involving our injectable collagenase are Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease. Prior to the Acquisition, Auxilium had, and after the Acquisition, Endo has, opted-in to the following indications: frozen shoulder, cellulite, canine lipoma, lateral hip fat and plantar fibromatosis. We are currently conducting studies with respect to uterine fibroids and have finished the development work on human lipomas. On July 29, 2016, Endo exercised its opt-in right under the license agreement with respect to the human lipoma indication. Based on public statements made by Endo, Endo is also interested in several other new unlicensed indications, including: capsular contracture of the breast, Dercum’s disease, knee arthrofibrosis, urethral strictures, hypertrophic scars and keloids. Endo is currently selling XIAFLEX in the U.S. for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease and has an agreement with Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (“Sobi”), pursuant to which Sobi has marketing rights for XIAPEX for Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease in Europe and certain Eurasian countries. Sobi is currently selling XIAPEX in Europe for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease. In addition, Endo has an agreement with Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation (“Asahi”) pursuant to which Asahi has the right to commercialize XIAFLEX for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease in Japan. Asahi has received regulatory approval and is currently selling XIAFLEX for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture in Japan. Endo also has an agreement with Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Actelion”), pursuant to which Actelion has the right to commercialize XIAFLEX for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease in Canada and Australia. Actelion has received regulatory approval for and is currently selling XIAFLEX in Canada and Australia for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture and for Peyronie’s disease in Australia. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although we believe that the disclosures in our financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reporting. The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the period ended March 31, 2016 filed on May 10, 2016 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Advance Biofactures Corp. (“ABC-NY”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company makes certain assumptions and estimates for its deferred tax assets and deferred royalty buy-down. For further details see notes “Provision for Income Taxes” and “Third-Party Royalties and Royalty Buy-Down.” Actual results may differ from those estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents include only securities having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Investments are stated on an amortized cost basis. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and investments by placing its investments with banks it believes are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds, certificates of deposit and municipal bonds. All investments are classified as held to maturity. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of these investments was $38.9 million and $31.9 million, respectively. Fair Value Measurements Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, held to maturity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no recorded unrealized gains or losses on our investments as they are held to maturity. As of June 30, 2016, amortized cost basis of the investments approximate their fair value. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amortized premium included in interest income was $303,000 and $316,000, respectively. The schedule of maturities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:
The authoritative literature for fair value measurements established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. These tiers are as follows: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs (entity developed assumptions) in which little or no market data exists. As of June 30, 2016, the Company held certain investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for these financial assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company maintains its investment in FDIC insured certificates of deposits with several banks, pre-refunded municipal bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The Company is currently dependent on one customer, Endo, who generates almost all its revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, licensing, sublicensing, milestones and royalty revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $6.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the licensing, sublicensing, milestones and royalty revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $4.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our accounts receivable balances were $4.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Revenue Recognition We currently recognize revenues resulting from the licensing and sublicensing of the use of our technology and from services we sometimes perform in connection with the licensed technology under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). If we determine that separate elements exist in a revenue arrangement under ASC 605, we recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of undelivered elements are known, when the associated earnings process is complete, when payment is reasonably assured and, to the extent the milestone amount relates to our performance obligation, when our customer confirms that we have met the requirements under the terms of the agreement. Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes, are as follows: Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold For those arrangements for which royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold information becomes available and collectability is reasonably assured, we recognize revenue during the applicable period in which it is earned. For interim quarterly and year-end reporting purposes, when collectability is reasonably assured, but a reasonable estimate of royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold cannot be made, the royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold are generally recognized in the quarter that the applicable licensee provides the written report and related information to us. Under the License Agreement, we do not participate in the selling, marketing or manufacturing of products for which we receive royalties and a mark-up on the cost of goods sold. The royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold will generally be recognized in the quarter that Endo provides the written reports and related information to us; that is, royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold are generally recognized one quarter following the quarter in which the underlying sales by Endo occurred. The royalties payable by Endo to us are subject to set-off for certain patent costs. Pursuant to the First Amendment with Endo, in exchange for a $8.25 million lump sum payment, we will not receive future additional mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S.; provided, however, that Endo will still be required to pay a mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales made in the “Endo Territory,” which includes sales made in the U.S. and sales made in any other country where Endo sells the product directly or through affiliated sublicensees. We received this $8.25 million lump sum payment in February 2016. We classified this payment as deferred revenue in our balance sheet and began recognizing this income over time in the second quarter of 2016 based on sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. according to our revenue recognition policy. We recognized approximately $272,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and zero in each of the 2015 corresponding periods. Licensing Revenue We include revenue recognized from upfront licensing, sublicensing and milestone payments in “License Revenues” in our condensed consolidated statements of income in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Upfront License and Sublicensing Fees We generally recognize revenue from upfront licensing and sublicensing fees when the license or sublicense agreement is signed, we have completed the earnings process and we have no ongoing performance obligation with respect to the arrangement. Nonrefundable upfront technology license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development are deferred and recognized as revenue over the development period. We recognized deferred revenue of $12,345 and $24,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $12,344 and $24,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Milestones Milestones, in the form of additional license fees, typically represent nonrefundable payments to be received in conjunction with the achievement of a specific event identified in the license or sublicense agreement, such as completion of specified development activities and/or regulatory submissions and/or approvals. We believe that a milestone represents the culmination of a distinct earnings process when it is not associated with ongoing research, development or other performance on our part. We recognize such milestones as revenue when they become due and collection is reasonably assured. When a milestone does not represent the culmination of a distinct earnings process, we recognize revenue in a manner similar to that of an upfront license fee. The timing and amount of revenue that we recognize from licenses of technology, either from upfront fees or milestones where we are providing continuing services related to product development, are primarily dependent upon our estimates of the development period. We define the development period as the point from which research activities commence up to regulatory approval of either our or our partners’ submission, assuming no further research is necessary. As product candidates move through the development process, it is necessary to revise these estimates to consider changes to the product development cycle, such as changes in the clinical development plan, regulatory requirements, or various other factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Should the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory agencies require additional data or information, we would adjust our development period estimates accordingly. The impact on revenue of changes in our estimates and the timing thereof is recognized prospectively over the remaining estimated product development period. We did not recognize any milestone revenue in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 18,730 shares at an average price of $36.99 as compared to the repurchase of 17,943 shares at an average price of $39.07 in the corresponding 2015 period. Receivables and Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. We may maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We consider the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our accounts receivable balance is typically due from Endo, our one large specialty pharmaceutical customer. Endo has historically paid timely and has been a financially stable organization. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, we believe the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal. If the financial condition of our customer were to deteriorate, adversely affecting its ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. We may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 our accounts receivable balance was $4.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and was from one customer, Endo. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of the remaining $8.0 million related to the First Amendment with Endo of mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees, $74,068 related to nonrefundable upfront product license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development and $100,000 related to a milestone payment withheld by Endo due to a foreign tax withholding which remains uncollected. Currently, the Company expects to recover the full amount. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, deferred revenue was $8.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Reimbursable Third-Party Development Costs We accrued patent expenses for research and development (“R&D”) that are reimbursable by us under the License Agreement. We capitalize certain patent costs related to estimated third-party development costs that are reimbursable under the License Agreement. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our net reimbursable third party patent expense accrual was approximately $25,000 and $20,000, respectively. Third-Party Royalties We have entered into licensing and royalty agreements with third parties and agreed to pay certain royalties on net sales of products for specific indications. The royalty rates differ from agreement to agreement and, in certain cases, have been redacted with the permission of the SEC. No assumptions should be made that any disclosed royalty rate payable to a particular third party is the same or similar with respect to any royalty rate payable to any other third parties. We accrue third-party royalty expenses on net sales reported to us by Endo. Third-party royalty costs are generally expensed in the quarter that Endo provides the written reports and related information to us; that is, generally one quarter following the quarter in which the underlying sales by Endo occurred. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, third-party royalty expenses were $0.4 million and $0.8 , respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, third-party royalty expenses were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Our third-party royalty expense under general and administrative expenses may increase if net sales by Endo and its partners for XIAFLEX and XIAPEX increase and potential new indications for CCH are approved. Royalty Buy-Down On March 31, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our existing agreement with Dr. Martin K. Gelbard, dated August 27, 2008, related to our future royalty obligations in connection with Peyronie’s disease. The amendment enables us to buy down a portion of our future royalty obligations in exchange for an initial cash payment of $1.5 million and five additional cash payments of $600,000, three of which have been paid as of June 30, 2016. We are currently making the payments to buy down the future royalty obligations, which royalty obligations terminate five years after first commercial sale. The Company amortizes long-term contracts with finite lives in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Dr. Gelbard’s agreement is amortized based on an income forecast method by estimating sales of XIAFLEX for Peyronie’s disease on an annual basis as measured by the proportion of the total estimated sales over the five year period. Related to this agreement, we amortized approximately $219,000 and $493,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $72,000 and $199,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The remaining capitalized balance as of June 30, 2016 was $3.4 million. We perform an evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may be impaired and if any adjustment is warranted. Based on our evaluation as of June 30, 2016, no impairment existed and no adjustment was warranted. R&D Expenses R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, internal costs, such as salaries and benefits, costs of materials, lab expenses, facility costs and overhead. R&D expenses also consist of third party costs, such as medical professional fees, product costs used in clinical trials, consulting fees and costs associated with clinical study arrangements. We may fund R&D at medical research institutions under agreements that are generally cancelable. All of these costs are charged to R&D as incurred, which may be measured by percentage of completion, contract milestones, patient enrollment, or the passage of time. Clinical Trial Expenses Our cost accruals for clinical trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with various clinical trial centers and clinical research organizations. In the normal course of business we contract with third parties to perform various clinical trial activities in the ongoing development of potential drugs. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful enrollment of patients, the completion of portions of the clinical trial, and other similar conditions. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual cost of services received and efforts expended. As such, expenses related to each patient enrolled in a clinical trial are recognized ratably beginning upon entry into the trial and over the course of the patient’s continued participation in the trial. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, we accrue an amount based on our estimate of the remaining non-cancelable obligations associated with the winding down of the clinical trial. Our estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the amounts that may actually be incurred. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan in effect. Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all stock options including stock options and common stock issued to our employees and directors under our stock plans. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of our employee stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are our estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of our stock and the expected term of an award. When establishing an estimate of the expected term of an option award, we consider the vesting period for the award, our recent historical experience of employee stock option exercises (including forfeitures) and the expected volatility of our common stock. As required under the accounting rules, we review our estimates at each grant date and, as a result, the valuation assumptions that we use to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods may change. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Further, ASC 718 requires that employee stock-based compensation costs be recognized over the requisite service period, or the vesting period, in a manner similar to all other forms of compensation paid to employees. The allocation of employee stock-based compensation costs to each operating expense line are estimated based on specific employee headcount information at each grant date and estimated stock option forfeiture rates and revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual employee headcount information or forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. As a result, the amount of employee stock-based compensation costs we recognize in each operating expense category in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses was approximately $34,000 and $67,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $33,000 and $39,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Stock Option Activity A summary of our stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 is presented below:
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company received $177,250 and $1.7 million, respectively, from stock options exercised by option holders. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the closing price of our common stock of $39.94 on June 30, 2016, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. We have approximately $334,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2016, which we expect to recognize over the next 2.69 years. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and autos are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, property and equipment were fully depreciated. Comprehensive Income For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, we had no components of other comprehensive income other than net income itself. Provision for Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences, using current tax rates, of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification. Under this method, deferred income taxes, when required, are provided on the basis of the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the statutory rates enacted for future periods. We classify interest associated with income taxes under interest expense and tax penalties under other expense. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. Commitments and Contingencies On August 14, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Landlord to extend the term of the lease to the Headquarters for an additional one year period (the “Extended Lease Agreement”). The one year extension will end on November 30, 2016. Pursuant to the Extended Lease Agreement, the Landlord took occupancy of 1,000 square feet in the front of the building, the base rent is $10,213 per month and the Company may cancel the lease with three months’ prior written notice to the Landlord at any time during the term. The Extended Lease Agreement was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10Q on November 9, 2015. New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued in May 2016, in August 2015, March 2016 and April 2016, respectively, Accounting Standards Updates No. 2014-09, No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, and No. 2016-10 (the “ASUs”). These ASUs were issued in connection with revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing, method of adoption and the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We expect to complete our analysis by December 31, 2016. In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance will impact the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss)) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. In addition, the FASB clarified the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. In general, the new guidance will require modified retrospective application to all outstanding instruments, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

NET INCOME PER SHARE | 3. NET INCOME PER SHARE In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share, basic net income per share amount is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented, while diluted net income per share is computed using the sum of the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share result from the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the number of common equivalent shares that were excluded for the calculation of diluted net income per share reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had 50,000 options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, of which 30,000 options had an exercise price of $37.64, which was higher than the average market price for the second quarter of 2016. These options expire on April 21, 2025. The remaining 20,000 options, which have an exercise price of $29.21, will vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, which have not yet been met. These options expire on December 2, 2019. |

PATENT COSTS | 5. PATENT COSTS We amortize intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives, ranging from one to twelve years, and review for impairment on a quarterly basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2016, there was no indicator that an impairment existed. We capitalized legal patent costs related to patent prosecution and maintenance. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we increased our capitalized patent costs by approximately $11,200, based on reports provided to us by Endo. These patent costs are creditable against future royalty revenues. For each period presented below, net patent costs consisted of:
The amortization expense for patents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $9,700 and $19,300, respectively, and the amortization expense for patents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $12,000 and $23,000, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the remaining six months of 2016 and each of the years below is approximately as follows:

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES | 6. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES In determining our provision for income taxes, we consider all available information, including operating results, ongoing tax planning, and forecasts of future taxable income. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of stock-based compensation and deferred revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the provision for income taxes was $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our remaining deferred tax assets were approximately $3.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015, the provision for income taxes was $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, the Company believes that there are no significant uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recorded for interest and penalties. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although we believe that the disclosures in our financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reporting. The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the period ended March 31, 2016 filed on May 10, 2016 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016. |

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions | Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company makes certain assumptions and estimates for its deferred tax assets and deferred royalty buy-down. For further details see notes “Provision for Income Taxes” and “Third-Party Royalties and Royalty Buy-Down.” Actual results may differ from those estimates. |

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents include only securities having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Investments are stated on an amortized cost basis. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and investments by placing its investments with banks it believes are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds, certificates of deposit and municipal bonds. All investments are classified as held to maturity. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of these investments was $38.9 million and $31.9 million, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, held to maturity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no recorded unrealized gains or losses on our investments as they are held to maturity. As of June 30, 2016, amortized cost basis of the investments approximate their fair value. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amortized premium included in interest income was $303,000 and $316,000, respectively. The schedule of maturities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:
The authoritative literature for fair value measurements established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. These tiers are as follows: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs (entity developed assumptions) in which little or no market data exists. As of June 30, 2016, the Company held certain investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for these financial assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers | Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company maintains its investment in FDIC insured certificates of deposits with several banks, pre-refunded municipal bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The Company is currently dependent on one customer, Endo, who generates almost all its revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, licensing, sublicensing, milestones and royalty revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $6.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the licensing, sublicensing, milestones and royalty revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $4.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our accounts receivable balances were $4.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We currently recognize revenues resulting from the licensing and sublicensing of the use of our technology and from services we sometimes perform in connection with the licensed technology under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). If we determine that separate elements exist in a revenue arrangement under ASC 605, we recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of undelivered elements are known, when the associated earnings process is complete, when payment is reasonably assured and, to the extent the milestone amount relates to our performance obligation, when our customer confirms that we have met the requirements under the terms of the agreement. Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes, are as follows: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold | Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold For those arrangements for which royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold information becomes available and collectability is reasonably assured, we recognize revenue during the applicable period in which it is earned. For interim quarterly and year-end reporting purposes, when collectability is reasonably assured, but a reasonable estimate of royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold cannot be made, the royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold are generally recognized in the quarter that the applicable licensee provides the written report and related information to us. Under the License Agreement, we do not participate in the selling, marketing or manufacturing of products for which we receive royalties and a mark-up on the cost of goods sold. The royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold will generally be recognized in the quarter that Endo provides the written reports and related information to us; that is, royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold are generally recognized one quarter following the quarter in which the underlying sales by Endo occurred. The royalties payable by Endo to us are subject to set-off for certain patent costs. Pursuant to the First Amendment with Endo, in exchange for a $8.25 million lump sum payment, we will not receive future additional mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S.; provided, however, that Endo will still be required to pay a mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales made in the “Endo Territory,” which includes sales made in the U.S. and sales made in any other country where Endo sells the product directly or through affiliated sublicensees. We received this $8.25 million lump sum payment in February 2016. We classified this payment as deferred revenue in our balance sheet and began recognizing this income over time in the second quarter of 2016 based on sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. according to our revenue recognition policy. We recognized approximately $272,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and zero in each of the 2015 corresponding periods. |

Licensing Revenue | Licensing Revenue We include revenue recognized from upfront licensing, sublicensing and milestone payments in “License Revenues” in our condensed consolidated statements of income in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Upfront License and Sublicensing Fees We generally recognize revenue from upfront licensing and sublicensing fees when the license or sublicense agreement is signed, we have completed the earnings process and we have no ongoing performance obligation with respect to the arrangement. Nonrefundable upfront technology license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development are deferred and recognized as revenue over the development period. We recognized deferred revenue of $12,345 and $24,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $12,344 and $24,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Milestones Milestones, in the form of additional license fees, typically represent nonrefundable payments to be received in conjunction with the achievement of a specific event identified in the license or sublicense agreement, such as completion of specified development activities and/or regulatory submissions and/or approvals. We believe that a milestone represents the culmination of a distinct earnings process when it is not associated with ongoing research, development or other performance on our part. We recognize such milestones as revenue when they become due and collection is reasonably assured. When a milestone does not represent the culmination of a distinct earnings process, we recognize revenue in a manner similar to that of an upfront license fee. The timing and amount of revenue that we recognize from licenses of technology, either from upfront fees or milestones where we are providing continuing services related to product development, are primarily dependent upon our estimates of the development period. We define the development period as the point from which research activities commence up to regulatory approval of either our or our partners’ submission, assuming no further research is necessary. As product candidates move through the development process, it is necessary to revise these estimates to consider changes to the product development cycle, such as changes in the clinical development plan, regulatory requirements, or various other factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Should the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory agencies require additional data or information, we would adjust our development period estimates accordingly. The impact on revenue of changes in our estimates and the timing thereof is recognized prospectively over the remaining estimated product development period. We did not recognize any milestone revenue in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. |

Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 18,730 shares at an average price of $36.99 as compared to the repurchase of 17,943 shares at an average price of $39.07 in the corresponding 2015 period. |

Receivables and Doubtful Accounts | Receivables and Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. We may maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We consider the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our accounts receivable balance is typically due from Endo, our one large specialty pharmaceutical customer. Endo has historically paid timely and has been a financially stable organization. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, we believe the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal. If the financial condition of our customer were to deteriorate, adversely affecting its ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. We may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 our accounts receivable balance was $4.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and was from one customer, Endo. |

Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of the remaining $8.0 million related to the First Amendment with Endo of mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees, $74,068 related to nonrefundable upfront product license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development and $100,000 related to a milestone payment withheld by Endo due to a foreign tax withholding which remains uncollected. Currently, the Company expects to recover the full amount. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, deferred revenue was $8.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. |

Reimbursable Third-Party Development Costs | Reimbursable Third-Party Development Costs We accrued patent expenses for research and development (“R&D”) that are reimbursable by us under the License Agreement. We capitalize certain patent costs related to estimated third-party development costs that are reimbursable under the License Agreement. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our net reimbursable third party patent expense accrual was approximately $25,000 and $20,000, respectively. |

Third-Party Royalties | Third-Party Royalties We have entered into licensing and royalty agreements with third parties and agreed to pay certain royalties on net sales of products for specific indications. The royalty rates differ from agreement to agreement and, in certain cases, have been redacted with the permission of the SEC. No assumptions should be made that any disclosed royalty rate payable to a particular third party is the same or similar with respect to any royalty rate payable to any other third parties. We accrue third-party royalty expenses on net sales reported to us by Endo. Third-party royalty costs are generally expensed in the quarter that Endo provides the written reports and related information to us; that is, generally one quarter following the quarter in which the underlying sales by Endo occurred. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, third-party royalty expenses were $0.4 million and $0.8 , respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, third-party royalty expenses were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Our third-party royalty expense under general and administrative expenses may increase if net sales by Endo and its partners for XIAFLEX and XIAPEX increase and potential new indications for CCH are approved. |

Royalty Buy-Down | Royalty Buy-Down On March 31, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our existing agreement with Dr. Martin K. Gelbard, dated August 27, 2008, related to our future royalty obligations in connection with Peyronie’s disease. The amendment enables us to buy down a portion of our future royalty obligations in exchange for an initial cash payment of $1.5 million and five additional cash payments of $600,000, three of which have been paid as of June 30, 2016. We are currently making the payments to buy down the future royalty obligations, which royalty obligations terminate five years after first commercial sale. The Company amortizes long-term contracts with finite lives in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Dr. Gelbard’s agreement is amortized based on an income forecast method by estimating sales of XIAFLEX for Peyronie’s disease on an annual basis as measured by the proportion of the total estimated sales over the five year period. Related to this agreement, we amortized approximately $219,000 and $493,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $72,000 and $199,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The remaining capitalized balance as of June 30, 2016 was $3.4 million. We perform an evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may be impaired and if any adjustment is warranted. Based on our evaluation as of June 30, 2016, no impairment existed and no adjustment was warranted. |

R&D Expenses | R&D Expenses R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, internal costs, such as salaries and benefits, costs of materials, lab expenses, facility costs and overhead. R&D expenses also consist of third party costs, such as medical professional fees, product costs used in clinical trials, consulting fees and costs associated with clinical study arrangements. We may fund R&D at medical research institutions under agreements that are generally cancelable. All of these costs are charged to R&D as incurred, which may be measured by percentage of completion, contract milestones, patient enrollment, or the passage of time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clinical Trial Expenses | Clinical Trial Expenses Our cost accruals for clinical trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with various clinical trial centers and clinical research organizations. In the normal course of business we contract with third parties to perform various clinical trial activities in the ongoing development of potential drugs. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful enrollment of patients, the completion of portions of the clinical trial, and other similar conditions. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual cost of services received and efforts expended. As such, expenses related to each patient enrolled in a clinical trial are recognized ratably beginning upon entry into the trial and over the course of the patient’s continued participation in the trial. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, we accrue an amount based on our estimate of the remaining non-cancelable obligations associated with the winding down of the clinical trial. Our estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the amounts that may actually be incurred. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan in effect. Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all stock options including stock options and common stock issued to our employees and directors under our stock plans. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of our employee stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are our estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of our stock and the expected term of an award. When establishing an estimate of the expected term of an option award, we consider the vesting period for the award, our recent historical experience of employee stock option exercises (including forfeitures) and the expected volatility of our common stock. As required under the accounting rules, we review our estimates at each grant date and, as a result, the valuation assumptions that we use to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods may change. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Further, ASC 718 requires that employee stock-based compensation costs be recognized over the requisite service period, or the vesting period, in a manner similar to all other forms of compensation paid to employees. The allocation of employee stock-based compensation costs to each operating expense line are estimated based on specific employee headcount information at each grant date and estimated stock option forfeiture rates and revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual employee headcount information or forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. As a result, the amount of employee stock-based compensation costs we recognize in each operating expense category in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses was approximately $34,000 and $67,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $33,000 and $39,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Stock Option Activity A summary of our stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 is presented below:
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company received $177,250 and $1.7 million, respectively, from stock options exercised by option holders. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the closing price of our common stock of $39.94 on June 30, 2016, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. We have approximately $334,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2016, which we expect to recognize over the next 2.69 years. |

Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and autos are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, property and equipment were fully depreciated. |

Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, we had no components of other comprehensive income other than net income itself. |

Provision for Income Taxes | Provision for Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences, using current tax rates, of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification. Under this method, deferred income taxes, when required, are provided on the basis of the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the statutory rates enacted for future periods. We classify interest associated with income taxes under interest expense and tax penalties under other expense. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies On August 14, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Landlord to extend the term of the lease to the Headquarters for an additional one year period (the “Extended Lease Agreement”). The one year extension will end on November 30, 2016. Pursuant to the Extended Lease Agreement, the Landlord took occupancy of 1,000 square feet in the front of the building, the base rent is $10,213 per month and the Company may cancel the lease with three months’ prior written notice to the Landlord at any time during the term. The Extended Lease Agreement was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10Q on November 9, 2015. |

New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued in May 2016, in August 2015, March 2016 and April 2016, respectively, Accounting Standards Updates No. 2014-09, No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, and No. 2016-10 (the “ASUs”). These ASUs were issued in connection with revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing, method of adoption and the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We expect to complete our analysis by December 31, 2016. In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance will impact the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss)) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. In addition, the FASB clarified the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. In general, the new guidance will require modified retrospective application to all outstanding instruments, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
