Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). The core principal of ASC Topic 606 is to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, as well as significant judgements and changes in judgements, which are described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective method and applied the new revenue standard to all new customer contracts initiated on or after the effective date and contracts which had remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in an acceleration of minimum license fees and sales-based royalty revenue earned under the Company’s hydrophilic coating technology license agreements by approximately one quarter. Prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 606, sales-based royalties were recognized in the period the Company’s customers reported the underlying sales, which is generally one quarter after the sales occurred. Additionally, minimum royalties were recognized in the period they were contractually owed to the Company. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606, sales-based royalties are recognized in the period the underlying customer sale occurs, while the minimum royalties are recognized at each renewal of the license contract, which generally occurs on the last day of the quarter for minimum royalties contractually due in the following quarter. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in cumulative-effect adjustments to opening retained earnings, contract assets, deferred tax assets and income tax receivable.

The impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the opening consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2018, as compared with the consolidated balance sheet previously reported as of September 30, 2018, was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2018, As Reported		Adjustments for Adoption of Topic 606			October 1, 2018 Opening Balance
Assets
Contract assets - royalties and license fees	$	—	$	6,904		$	6,904
Deferred income taxes		6,304		(1,215	)		5,089
Income tax receivable		1,152		(390	)		762

Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity
Deferred revenue, current portion		9,646		(18	)		9,628
Deferred revenue, less current portion		11,247		(181	)		11,066
Retained earnings		97,615		5,498			103,113

The impact of adoption of Topic 606 to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for three months ended December 31, 2018 was a reduction of royalty and license fee revenue of $0.2 million and reduced income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million.

Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842). The new guidance primarily affects lessee accounting, while accounting by lessors will not be significantly impacted by the update. The update maintains two classifications of leases: finance leases, which replace capital leases, and operating leases. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases under the old guidance. The liability will be equal to the present value of remaining contractual lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for direct costs. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 (October 1, 2019) and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company believes the impact will be material due to the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will be recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of the standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. This ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (October 1, 2019). Early adoption is permitted and the guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Effective October 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The following tables presents our revenues disaggregated by product classification and by operating segment, excluding sales taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities (in thousands, unaudited).

Performance Obligations

The Company derives its revenue from three primary sources: (1) product revenues from the sale of reagent chemicals to licensees, the sale of stabilization products, antigens, substrates and surface coatings to the diagnostic and biomedical research markets as well as the sale of medical devices and related products (such as balloons and catheters) to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers and distributors; (2) royalties and license fees from licensing our proprietary surface modification and device drug delivery technologies to customers; and (3) research and commercial development fees generated on customer projects.

The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control varies by revenue classification and is described below.

Product sales – Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time control of the products is transferred, generally upon shipment based upon the standard contract terms. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities rather than promised services and are not, therefore, considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company’s sales terms provide no right of return outside of a standard warranty policy and returns are generally not significant. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 30-45 days after the consideration becomes due and payable.

Royalties – Royalty revenue consists of sales-based and recurring minimum royalties earned under licenses of our surface modification technologies. Performance obligations under these licenses, which consist of the right to use the Company’s proprietary technology, are satisfied at a point in time corresponding with delivery of the underlying technology rights to the customer, which is generally upon transfer of the licensed technology to the customer. Sales-based royalty revenue represents variable consideration under the license agreements and is recognized in the period a customer sells products incorporating the Company’s licensed technologies. The Company estimates sales-based royalty revenue earned but unpaid at each reporting period using the expected value method based on historical sales information, adjusted for known changes such as product launches and patent expirations. The Company's license arrangements also often provide for recurring fees (minimum royalties) which the Company recognizes at the later of the satisfaction of the underlying performance obligation or upon renewal of the contract, which is generally done on a quarterly basis. Sales-based and minimum royalties are generally due within 45 days of the end of each quarter.

License fees – For distinct license performance obligations, upfront license fees are recognized when the Company satisfies the underlying performance obligation. This generally occurs upon transfer of the right to use the Company’s licensed technology to the customer, with the exception of the license of the Company’s SurVeil® drug-coated balloon (the “SurVeil DCB”) disclosed below and in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain license arrangements include contingent milestone payments, which are due following achievement by our customers of specified sales or regulatory milestones. Contingent milestone payment terms vary by contract. The Company has generally fulfilled its performance obligation prior to achievement of these milestones. However, because of the uncertainty of the milestone achievement, and/or the dependence on sales of our customers, variable consideration for contingent milestones is fully constrained and excluded from the contract price until the milestone is achieved by our customer, to the extent collectability is reasonably certain.

Pursuant to the terms of the collaborative arrangement contract with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) disclosed in Note 3 (the “Abbott Agreement”), the Company received an upfront payment of $25 million in fiscal 2018 and may receive up to $67 million of additional payments due upon achievement of various clinical and regulatory milestones. The performance obligation identified in this arrangement includes delivery of our licensed technology and completion of research and development activities, primarily clinical trial activities (together, “R&D and Clinical Activities”). These promises are not distinct performance obligations because the product necessary for completion of the R&D and Clinical Activities is currently only able to be manufactured by the Company due to the exclusive proprietary know-how and certain regulatory requirements associated with the manufacture of the product. The customer (Abbott) simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the R&D and Clinical Activities as study data are generated to support regulatory approval submissions. Control is effectively transferred over time as we complete the TRANSCEND clinical study of our SurVeil DCB . Revenue related to this contract is recognized using the cost-to-cost method which measures progress based on costs incurred to date relative to the expected total cost of the services, as the Company believes this represents a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of its performance obligation. Use of the cost-to-cost method requires significant estimates including the total cost of the TRANSCEND study, which is expected to be completed over the next six years. Revenue is recorded based on the cost-to-cost completion estimate relative to the transaction price, which is equal to the total upfront fee plus the expected value of the clinical and regulatory milestones. As of December 31, 2018, consideration from the clinical and regulatory milestones has been fully constrained and excluded from the contract price, due to the high level of uncertainty as to the achievement of the underlying regulatory approval(s) and/or clinical milestones. Significant judgment is used to estimate total revenue and cost at completion for this contract.

Research and development – The Company performs third-party research and development activities, which are typically charged to customers on a time-and-materials basis. Generally, revenue for research and development is recorded over time as the services are provided to the customer in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. These services are generally charged to the customer as they are provided. Payment terms for R&D services are generally set at 30-45 days after the consideration becomes due and payable.

If a contract contains more than one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price.

Contract Assets, Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations

Contract assets are generally short in duration given the nature of products produced and services provided by the Company. Contract assets consist of sales-based and minimum royalty revenue earned for which unconditional right to payment does not exist as of the balance sheet date. These assets are comprised of estimated sales-based royalties earned, but not yet reported by the Company’s customers, minimum royalties on non-cancellable contracts, and contingent milestones earned but not yet billable based on the terms of the contract. The decrease in contract assets from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 resulted primarily from changes in estimated sales-based royalties earned but not collected at each balance sheet date.

The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when there is an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of performance, or when payment is received for a period outside the contract term. The Company’s deferred revenue at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 is primarily related to the upfront payment received pursuant to the Abbott Agreement (Note 3).

Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue and amounts the Company expects to receive for goods and services that have not yet been delivered or provided under existing, noncancellable contracts. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. At December 31, 2018, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more was approximately $18.3 million. This revenue is entirely related to the R&D and Clinical Services performance obligation in the Abbott Agreement from the upfront payment received in fiscal 2018 and does not include revenue from potential contingent milestone payments that may be received throughout the course of the agreement. The Company expects to recognize the remaining revenue from this performance obligation over the next six years as the services, which are primarily comprised of the TRANSCEND clinical study, are completed.
