Collaborative Arrangement	3. Collaborative Arrangement On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) whereby Abbott has exclusive worldwide commercialization rights for Surmodics' SurVeil^TM drug-coated balloon (“DCB”) (the “Abbott Agreement”). Our SurVeil DCB is used to treat peripheral arterial disease in the upper leg (superficial femoral artery) and is currently being evaluated in our TRANSEND pivotal clinical trial. Abbott also received the option to negotiate an agreement for Surmodics' below-the-knee Sundance^TM DCB product, which is currently being evaluated in a first-in-human trial. Surmodics is responsible for conducting all necessary clinical trials and other activities required to achieve U.S. regulatory clearance for the SurVeil DCB, including completion of the ongoing TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial. Abbott and Surmodics participate on a joint development committee charged with providing guidance on the Company’s clinical and regulatory activities with regard to the SurVeil DCB product. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for the SurVeil DCB, Abbott will have the right to purchase commercial units from the Company and Surmodics will realize revenue from product sales to Abbott at an agreed-upon transfer price, as well as a share of net profits resulting from third-party product sales by Abbott. To account for the Abbott Agreement, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 808 (Collaborative Arrangements) as the parties are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the collaborative activity. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has received payments totaling $60.8 million under the Abbott Agreement, which consist of the following: $25 million upfront fee in fiscal 2018, $10 million milestone payment in fiscal 2019, $10.8 million milestone payment in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and $15 million milestone payment in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 upon receipt by Abbott of the clinical study report and related materials from the TRANSCEND pivotal trial that demonstrated the primary safety and primary clinical endpoints are non-inferior to the control device. As of June 30, 2021, the Company may receive an additional contingent milestone payment of up to $30 million, pursuant to the terms of the Abbott Agreement, upon premarket approval (“PMA”) of our SurVeil DCB by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As of June 30, 2021, consideration from this potential regulatory milestone was fully constrained and excluded from the contract price, due to the high level of uncertainty of achievement as of June 30, 2021. Revenue recognized from the Abbott agreement totaled $1.0 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $14.8 million and $10.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized from the Abbott Agreement that was included in the respective beginning of fiscal year balances of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $3.8 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, deferred revenue from the upfront and milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement of $16.1 million and $15.9 million, respectively, was recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2021, 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 totaled $16.1 million. These remaining performance obligations relate to the Abbott Agreement, exclude the potential contingent milestone payment under the Abbott Agreement, and are expected to be recognized over the next five years through fiscal 2025 as services, principally the TRANSCEND clinical trial, are completed.
