Maruishi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a license agreement with Maruishi under which the Company granted Maruishi an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize drug products containing CR845 for acute pain and uremic pruritus in Japan. The Company and Maruishi are responsible to use commercially reasonable efforts, at their own expense, to develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize CR845 in the United States and Japan, respectively. In addition, the Company will provide Maruishi specific clinical development services for CR845 used in Maruishi’s field of use.

 

The Company has identified two deliverables under ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple Element Arrangements: (1) the license; and (2) the R&D services specific to the uremic pruritus field of use. The Company has determined that the license has standalone value because Maruishi has the right to sublicense and manufacture CR845 in Japan. The second deliverable is the R&D services, which also have standalone value as similar services are sold separately by other vendors. Since both the license and the R&D services separability criteria have been met, they are being accounted for as separate units of accounting at the outset of the arrangement.

Along with the R&D services performed by the Company for Maruishi, the Company supplies Maruishi with CR845 clinical material as an accommodation. The Company had previously entered into manufacturing and service agreements with third parties to manufacture CR845. Payments made by the Company to third parties based on firm and fixed commitments by Maruishi to purchase CR845 from the Company are capitalized as prepaid expense. During the manufacturing process, title and risk of loss remains with the third party until the Company has paid in full for the material.

Once the Company has title to the CR845 and has delivered it to Maruishi, prepaid expense related to that CR845 is reduced with an offset to R&D expense. At that time, Maruishi reimburses the Company for its external and internal costs for purchasing CR845 and processing the sale to Maruishi and the Company recognizes clinical compound revenue for the reimbursement amount. Deposits received from Maruishi prior to delivery of CR845 are recorded as deferred revenue.

Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company is also entitled to receive aggregate milestone payments of $8,000 for events performed by Maruishi in Japan and $2,500 for events performed by the Company in the U.S. At the time of execution of this license agreement, there was significant uncertainty as to whether the stated milestones would be achieved. In conjunction with this uncertainty, the Company has determined that the milestones achieved in the U.S. are substantive in nature as they are commensurate with the enhancement of value of the delivered license as they relate to clinical success and advancement within the FDA drug development platform. The Company will account for those milestone payments under ASC 605 Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method. However, the milestones achieved by Maruishi in Japan are not substantive and will be accounted for as contingent consideration.

The next potential milestone that the Company could be entitled to receive under the Maruishi license agreement will be a clinical development milestone for initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in Japan for a certain indication. If achieved, this milestone will result in a $2,000 payment being due to the Company.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $89 and $1,452, respectively, of deferred revenue pursuant to the R&D services deliverable under the license agreement with Maruishi.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $302, respectively, of license and milestone fee revenue, representing a portion of the amount earned by the Company upon achievement of a milestone by Maruishi in June 2014, $874 and $526, respectively, of collaborative revenue from the amortization of deferred revenue arising from the portion of the upfront payment received pursuant to the license agreement with Maruishi that was allocated to the R&D services deliverable and $0 and $132, respectively, of clinical compound revenue from the sale of CR845 clinical compound to Maruishi.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $302, respectively, of license and milestone fee revenue, $1,363 and $677, respectively, of collaborative revenue and $0 and $159, respectively, of clinical compound revenue.

The Company incurred clinical trial costs related to the R&D services deliverable of $877 and $714 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,475 and $1,112 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
