Collaboration and Licensing Revenue Collaboration and Licensing Revenue
The Company's collaborations and licensing agreements may provide for multiple promises to be satisfied by the Company and typically include a license to the Company's technology platforms, participation in collaboration committees, and performance of certain research and development services. Based on the nature of the promises in the Company's collaboration and licensing agreements, the Company typically combines most of its promises into a single performance obligation because the promises are highly interrelated and not individually distinct. Options to acquire additional services are considered to determine if they constitute material rights. At contract inception, the transaction price is typically the upfront payment received and is allocated to the performance obligations. The Company has determined the transaction price should be recognized as revenue based on its measure of progress under the agreement primarily based on inputs necessary to fulfill the performance obligation.
The Company recognizes the reimbursement payments received for research and development efforts in the period when the services are performed, in connection with the single performance obligation discussed above. The reimbursements relate specifically to the Company's efforts to provide services and the reimbursements are consistent with what the Company would typically charge other collaborators for similar services. The Company assesses the uncertainty of when and if any milestones will be achieved to determine whether the milestone is included in the transaction price. The Company then assesses whether the revenue is constrained based on whether it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Royalties, including sales-based milestones, received under the agreements will be recognized as revenue when sales have occurred because the Company applies the sales- or usage-based royalties recognition exception provided for under ASC Topic 606. The Company determined the application of this exception is appropriate because at the
time the royalties are generated, the technology license granted in the agreement is the predominant item to which the royalties relate.
The Company determines whether collaborations and licensing agreements are individually significant for disclosure based on a number of factors, including total revenue recorded by the Company pursuant to collaboration and licensing agreements, collaborators or licensees with equity method investments, or other qualitative factors. Collaboration and licensing revenues generated from consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.
The following table summarizes the amounts recorded as revenue from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each significant counterparty to a collaboration or licensing agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Fibrocell Science Collaborations
In October 2012, the Company entered into an ECC (the "2012 Fibrocell ECC") with Fibrocell Science, Inc. ("Fibrocell"), a then publicly traded cell and gene therapy company focused on diseases affecting the skin and connective tissue and a related party until the acquisition of Fibrocell by a third party as discussed in Note 17. Pursuant to the 2012 Fibrocell ECC, at the transaction effective date, Fibrocell received a license to the Company's technology platform to develop and commercialize genetically modified and non-genetically modified autologous fibroblasts and autologous dermal cells in the United States of America. The 2012 Fibrocell ECC was subsequently amended in June 2013 to expand the field of use defined in the ECC agreement. In March 2020, the Company and Fibrocell terminated the 2012 Fibrocell ECC by mutual agreement ("Termination Agreement") with the parties agreeing that the two drug product candidates, FCX-007 and FCX-013, pursuant to the ECC would be treated as "Retained Products" under the terms of the 2012 Fibrocell ECC. As Retained Products, Fibrocell retains a license under the 2012 Fibrocell ECC to continue to develop and commercialize the Retained Products within the field of use of the 2012 Fibrocell ECC for so long as Fibrocell continues to pursue such development and commercialization. No further licenses to the Company's technology within the field of use are provided to Fibrocell. Royalty provisions set forth in the 2012 Fibrocell ECC remain in effect for the Retained Products. Additionally, the Termination Agreement provides for the Company to perform certain drug product manufacturing activities related to the Retained Products. The Termination Agreement was accounted for as a new contract and the remaining deferred revenue from the 2012 Fibrocell ECC will be recognized prospectively as the manufacturing activities are performed.
In December 2015, the Company entered into a second ECC with Fibrocell (the "2015 Fibrocell ECC"). Pursuant to the ECC, at the transaction effective date, Fibrocell received a license to the Company's technology platform to develop and commercialize genetically-modified fibroblasts to treat chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the joint, including arthritis and related conditions. In February 2020, the Company and Fibrocell mutually agreed to terminate the 2015 Fibrocell ECC, and accordingly, the Company recognized the remaining balance of deferred revenue associated with the 2015 Fibrocell ECC totaling $10,000.

Certain of the arrangements are not active while the other party evaluates the status of the project and its desired future development activities. The following table summarizes the remaining balance of deferred revenue associated with upfront and milestone payments for each significant counterparty to a collaboration or licensing agreement as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, as well as the estimated remaining performance period as of March 31, 2020.
