Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included.

These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title has passed, collection is reasonably assured and the price is fixed or determinable. It sells OFIRMEV mostly to wholesalers who, in-turn, sell the product to hospitals and other end-user customers. Sales to wholesalers provide for selling prices that are fixed on the date of sale, although the Company offers certain discounts to group purchasing organizations and governmental programs. The wholesalers take title to the product, bear the risk of loss of ownership, and have economic substance to the inventory. Further, the Company has no significant obligations for future performance to generate pull-through sales, however it does allow wholesalers to return product that is damaged or received in error. In addition, the Company allows for product to be returned beginning six months prior to, and ending twelve months following, product expiration. As OFIRMEV is the Company’s first and only commercially available product and there is a limited amount of product return data, the Company does not believe it has sufficient sales and returns history at this time to reasonably estimate product returns from its wholesaler distribution channel. Therefore, the Company is deferring the recognition of revenue until the wholesalers sell OFIRMEV to hospitals or other end-user customers. It will continue to defer revenue recognition until the point at which it has obtained sufficient sales history to reasonably estimate returns from the wholesalers. Shipments of product that are not recognized as revenue are treated as deferred revenue until evidence exists to confirm that pull-through sales to hospitals or other end-user customers have occurred.

The Company records certain sales reserves and allowances as a reduction to gross revenue and deferred revenue, as applicable. These reserves and allowances include distribution service fees, a prompt payment reserve, a group purchasing discount and chargeback reserve, and discounts to governmental programs, as applicable. Distribution service fees arise from contractual agreements the Company has with certain wholesalers for distribution services they provide with respect to OFIRMEV. These fees are generally a fixed percentage of the price of the product purchased by these wholesalers. The prompt payment reserve is based upon cash discounts the Company offers certain wholesalers as an incentive to meet certain payment terms. It accounts for these cash discounts at the time the sale is made to the wholesalers and reduces its accounts receivable accordingly. The group purchasing discount and chargeback reserve is based upon contracted discounts the Company provides to members of certain purchasing groups. The Company estimates the sales through its wholesalers to these group purchasing organizations and accrues for the chargebacks it anticipates from its wholesalers for the difference between the current retail price and the reduced price paid by the members of the group purchasing organizations. A group purchasing organization fee the Company incurs for these transactions is also recorded at the time of sale. The Company also provides governmental programs a predetermined discount that is recorded at the time of sale.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business based upon an evaluation of the customer’s credit history, financial condition and other factors. Trade accounts receivable are recorded on gross sales to wholesalers, net of allowances for prompt payment and other discounts, chargebacks and doubtful accounts. Wholesaler distribution fees are recorded as accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts are determined by evaluating individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns, length of time past due and economic and other factors. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no reserves for doubtful accounts on its balance sheets. Further, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, no charges were incurred to reserve or write-off past due accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock option awards. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. This option pricing model involves a number of estimates, including the expected lives of stock options, the Company’s anticipated stock volatility and interest rates.

Fair Value Reporting

Fair Value Reporting

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash, trade receivables and payables, an option purchase right, equity securities of an unconsolidated privately-held entity, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. Fair value estimates of these instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and payables and accrued liabilities are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Further, based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the Company believes the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value. The Company’s option purchase right and equity securities of an unconsolidated privately-held entity have been initially valued based upon the transaction price under the cost method of accounting. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The fair value of marketable securities is based upon market prices quoted on the last day of the fiscal period.

Current accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation techniques included in the guidance are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions and are classified into the following fair value hierarchy:


Level 1 Inputs –		Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs –		Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs –		Valuation derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.

Disclosure of accounting policy for trade and other accounts receivables. This disclosure may include the basis at which such receivables are carried in the entity's statements of financial position (for example, net realizable value), how the entity determines the level of its allowance for doubtful accounts, when impairments, charge-offs or recoveries are recognized, and the entity's income recognition policies for such receivables, including its treatment of related fees and costs, its treatment of premiums, discounts or unearned income, when accrual of interest is discontinued, how the entity records payments received on nonaccrual receivables and its policy for resuming accrual of interest on such receivables. If the enterprise holds a large number of similar loans, disclosure may include the accounting policy for the anticipation of prepayments and significant assumptions underlying prepayment estimates for amortization of premiums, discounts, and nonrefundable fees and costs.
