2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Advance Biofactures Corp., a New York corporation (“ABC-NY”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company makes certain assumptions and estimates for its deferred tax assets and deferred royalty buy-down. Actual results could 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, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. All investments are classified as held to maturity. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the amortized cost of these investments was $68.8 million and $57.7 million, respectively. No unrealized gains or losses were recorded in either period.

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 December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no recorded unrealized gains or losses on our investments as they are held to maturity. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, amortized cost basis of the investments approximate their fair value. In 2018 and 2017, the amortized premium included in interest income was $372,000 and $673,000, respectively.

The schedule of maturities at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	Maturities as of December 31, 2018				Maturities as of December 31, 2017
	1 Year or Less		Greater than 1 Year		1 Year or Less		Greater than 1 Year
Municipal bonds	$	1,295,350	$	-	$	1,002,650	$	100,000
Corporate Bonds		61,321,162		1,099,834		48,143,495		3,155,575
Certificates of deposit		5,090,631		-		2,827,826		249,019
Total	$	67,707,143	$	1,099,834	$	51,973,971	$	5,745,974

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 investments in FDIC insured certificates of deposits, municipal bonds and corporate bonds.

At December 31, 2018 our accounts receivable balance was $16.5 million and was from one customer, Endo. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified-retrospective adoption method, we recorded an adjustment to our accounts receivable balance of $7.6 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag.

At December 31, 2017 our accounts receivable balance was $4.7 million and was from one customer, Endo.

The Company is currently dependent on one customer, Endo, who generates almost all its revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the licensing, sublicensing, milestones and royalty revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $33.0 million, $27.4 million and $26.3 million, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Beginning in 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards Updates establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 replaces most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with a new principles-based, five-step revenue recognition model. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenues when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s).

Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606 and our license agreement with Endo, are as follows:

Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold

We receive royalty revenues on net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue in the U.S. under our License Agreement with Endo. These are presented in “Royalties” in our consolidated statements of income. We do not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, we record these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on preliminary gross sales data provided by Endo and analysis of historical gross-to-net adjustments. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known. The royalties payable by Endo to us are subject to set-off for certain patent costs.

Licensing Revenue

We include revenue recognized from upfront licensing, sublicensing and milestone payments in “License Revenues” in our consolidated statements of income.

For each development and/or commercialization agreement that result in revenues, the Company identifies all performance obligations, aside from those that are immaterial, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.

If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from nonrefundable, upfront license fees based on the relative standalone selling price prescribed to the license compared to the total value of the arrangement. The revenue is recognized when the license is transferred to the collaborator and the collaborator is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are not distinct from other obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time, the Company applies an appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from nonrefundable, upfront license fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

Since the license provided to Endo allows them to use the underlying intellectual property as it was at the point it was transferred, the license grants to Endo a right to use the intellectual property. Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of a performance obligation, which occurs when the license is transferred to the customer.

Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments

Depending on facts and circumstances, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to include the milestone, representing variable consideration, in the estimated total transaction price, or that it is appropriate to fully constrain the milestone. The Company may include revenues from certain milestones in the total transaction price in a reporting period before the milestone is achieved if the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods. The Company records a corresponding contract asset when this conclusion is reached. Milestone payments that have not been included in the transaction price to date are fully constrained. The Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint each reporting period. The Company adjusts its estimate of the total transaction price, including the amount of revenue that it has recorded, if necessary.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased 51,331 shares at an average price of $58.45 as compared 12,048 shares at an average price of $51.17 in the 2017 period. In the 2016 period, we purchased 27,298 shares at an average price of $38.41.

Receivables

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 December 31, 2018 and 2017, our accounts receivable balance was $16.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively and was from one customer, Endo. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified-retrospective adoption method, we recorded an adjustment to our accounts receivable balance of $7.6 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX® that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag.

Deferred Revenue

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, deferred revenue was zero and $6.4 million, respectively. With the adoption of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method as of January 1, 2018, the remaining deferred revenue balance associated with the mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. as of December 31, 2017 of $6.3 million was recorded as an adjustment to our retained earnings. Additionally, approximately $35,000 related to nonrefundable upfront product license fees for product candidates for which we have no remaining performance obligations was recognized during 2018. Finally, during 2018 we determined that the $100,000 related to a milestone payment withheld by Endo due to a foreign tax withholding was uncollectable and have reduced this amount to zero.

Reimbursable Third Party Development Costs

We accrued patent expenses 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017, our net reimbursable third party patent expense accrual was approximately $40,000 and zero, 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 sales data reported to us by Endo. Third-party royalty costs are generally expensed under general and administrative in the quarter that the net sales have occurred. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, third party royalty expenses were $2.4 million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method, we recorded an adjustment to our retained earnings for third party royalties expense of $0.5 million associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag. 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 XIAFLEX 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 enabled 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, all of which have been paid as of December 31, 2018. Royalty obligations terminate five years after the first commercial sale, which occurred in January 2014. 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 on an annual basis as measured by the proportion of sales of XIAFLEX for Peyronie’s disease to the total estimated sales over the five-year period. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method, we recorded an adjustment to our capitalized balance of $0.4 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, we amortized approximately $2.0 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million related to this agreement, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the remaining capitalized balances were approximately $185,000 and $2.5 million, respectively. 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. As of December 31, 2018, there was no indicator that an impairment existed.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, internal costs, such as salaries and benefits, costs of materials, lab expense, 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, or 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 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.

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 ASC 740-10-25-2. 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. In accordance with ASC 740-10-45-25, Income Statement Classification of Interest and Penalties, we classify interest associated with income taxes under interest expense and tax penalties under other.

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 benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has one stock-based compensation plan in effect. ASC 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 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 use the simplified method. 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.

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.

Patent Costs

We amortize intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years, and review for impairment on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2018, there was no indicator that an impairment existed.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we capitalized patent costs related to patent prosecution and maintenance of approximately $121,000 and $204,000 based on the most current information reported to us by Endo. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s estimated patent costs which are reimbursable to Endo under the License Agreement are $40,000 and zero, respectively. These patent costs are creditable against future royalty revenues. For each period presented below net patent costs consisted of:

	December 31,
	2018			2017
Patents	$	1,046,216		$	925,016
Accumulated Amortization		(601,738	)		(527,023	)
Net Patent Costs	$	444,478		$	397,993

The amortization expense for patents for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $75,000, $65,000 and $40,000, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five years is approximately as follows:

2019	$	75,200
2020		58,300
2021		41,500
2022		41,500
2023		41,500

Adopted Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to equity. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition.

The adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified-retrospective method, changed the timing of our recognition of royalty and mark-up cost of goods sold revenue. Beginning in 2018, we recorded these royalty revenues based on estimates of the net sales and mark-up cost of goods sold that occurred during the relevant period thereby eliminating the one quarter lag. Previously, these amounts were not recognized until they were fixed and determinable. In addition, deferred revenue associated with the prepayment of foreign mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue will no longer be recognized over time based on sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. and, under ASC 606, would have been recognized when the transaction occurred in 2016.

The cumulative effect of applying the new guidance of ASC 606 to our License Agreement with Endo as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. As a result of applying the modified retrospective method to adopt the new revenue guidance, the following adjustments were made to accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018:

The Company recorded the following cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, itemized here (in millions):

	As reported December 31, 2017			Adjustments			Adjusted January 1, 2018
Accounts receivable	$	4.7		$	7.6	⁽¹⁾	$	12.3

(5)	To create a tax liability associated the elimination of the one quarter lag by recognizing royalty revenues based on of XIAFLEX® net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenues reported to us by Endo for the fourth quarter of 2017.

At December 31, 2018, contract assets of $10.0 million for which there’s an unconditional right to receive payment were included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the impact of adoption on our consolidated balance sheet was as follows (in millions):

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. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2018 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosure as we do not currently have any available-for-sale equity investments.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). 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 ASC 606. 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 do not expect the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements due to the short term nature of our lease for our headquarters.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The amendment revises the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments, including, but not limited to, available for sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The Company is required to adopt this standard starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
