Darpa Contract And Related Revenue Recognition  
Darpa contract and related revenue recognition

 

As discussed in Note 1, we entered into a government contract with DARPA on September 30, 2011 and commenced work on such contract in October 2011. Only the base year (year one contract) is effective for the parties. Years two through five are subject to DARPA exercising their option to enter into contracts for those years.  The year one contract contains eight milestones of which five have been achieved during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. In June 2012, we invoiced the US Government for the sixth milestone under our DARPA contract in the amount of $216,747 and received that payment. The details of that milestone were as follows:

 

Milestone 2.2.2.3 - Perform preliminary quantitative real time PCR to measure viral load, and specific DNA or RNA targets. The milestone payment was $216,747. Management considers this milestone to be substantive as it was not dependent on the passage of time nor was it based solely on another party's efforts. We demonstrated that we were able to measure viral load of one or more targets as part of our submission for approval. The report was accepted by the contracting officer's representative and the invoice was submitted thereafter.
