Collaboration and License Agreement with GE Healthcare Limited

On April 25, 2017, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive, exclusive Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with GE Healthcare Limited (“GE Healthcare”) for the continued Phase III development and worldwide commercialization of flurpiridaz F 18, an investigational positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging agent that may improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Under the License Agreement, GE Healthcare will complete the worldwide development of flurpiridaz F 18, pursue worldwide regulatory approvals and, if successful, lead a worldwide launch and commercialization of the agent, with LMI collaborating on both development and commercialization through a joint steering committee. LMI has an option to co-promote the agent in the U.S. GE Healthcare’s development plan will initially focus on obtaining regulatory approval for flurpiridaz F 18 in the U.S., Japan, Europe and Canada.

Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company received an up-front payment of $5.0 million. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive, from GE Healthcare, up to $60.0 million in regulatory and sales-based milestones and tiered double-digit royalties on U.S. sales and mid-single digit royalties on sales outside the U.S. Because the Company concluded there was only one significant deliverable under the License Agreement, consisting of the license of the product which occurred upon the signing of the License Agreement, the Company recognized approximately $5.0 million associated with entering into the license as revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, because the Company concluded that the regulatory and sales-based milestones are solely dependent on GE Healthcare’s performance and there are no continuing performance obligations from the Company, all development and sales milestones under the License Agreement are considered non-substantive. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has not recognized those milestones as revenue under the License Agreement and will recognize such revenue in the periods the milestones are achieved. Similarly, the Company will recognize royalty revenues in the periods of the sale of the related products, provided that the reported sales are reliably measureable, collectability is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

       
ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting   

This ASU clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share–based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions.

 

The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 31, 2017 for all entities. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.

 

   January 1, 2018    The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
       
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related additional amendments ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20   

This ASU and related amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.

 

The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods:

 

•   A full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or

 

•   A modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures).

 

   January 1, 2018    The Company has established an implementation team which includes third-party specialists to assist in the evaluation and implementation of the new standard. The Company is currently in the process of performing an assessment of the impact of the standards on its contract portfolio by reviewing the Company’s current accounting policies and practices and to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to its revenue contracts. The Company has categorized its customers into multiple customer types and assessed significant customer arrangements within those customer types. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact to its financial statements upon adoption of the new standard. However, the assessment is ongoing and further analysis of contracts may identify a more significant impact. The Company currently expects, in part due to the limited anticipated impact, it will utilize the modified retrospective approach of adopting the ASU. In addition, during 2017 the Company plans to identify and implement, if necessary, appropriate changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.
 

Accounting Standards Adopted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

       
ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting   

ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the stock compensation guidance in Topic 718 and other related guidance providing the following amendments:

 

•   Accounting for income taxes upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments and related EPS effects

 

•   Classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows

 

•   Accounting for forfeitures

 

•   Liability classification exception for statutory tax withholding requirements

 

•   Cash flow presentation of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes

 

•   Elimination of the indefinite deferral in Topic 718

 

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.

   January 1, 2017    The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
