Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) of Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. have been prepared on a consistent bas is with our December 31, 2014 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. Certain prior year amounts in the Financial Statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, as permitted by such rules and regulations, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The results of operations for the first nine- month period of 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. Our estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of inventory, revenue valuation, the valuation of a financing derivative and long-term notes, the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation, the delivery period for collaboration agreements, the useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and the computation provisions for income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. During the first quarter of 2015, we revised the estimated period over which the delivery of elements pursuant to the Development, Commercialization and License Agreement (the “Roche Agreement”) with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd (“Roche”) is expected to occur, due to an increased level of certainty regarding the development period. As a result, we are, on a prospective basis, recognizing the remaining deferred contractual revenue associated with the upfront payment received under the Roche Agreement over the revised estimated remaining development period. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, th is change in estimate increased contractual revenue by $1.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively , increased our basic net income per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 by $0.03 per share , increased our diluted net income per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 by $0.0 2 per share , and decreased our net loss per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 by $0.08 per share. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of September 30 , 2015 and December 31, 2014: (in thousands) September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and money market funds $ $ — $ — $ $ $ — $ — $ Commercial paper — — — — Total cash and cash equivalents — — Investments: Commercial paper — — — — Corporate debt securities — — — — Asset backed securities — — — — Total investments — — — — Total assets measured at fair value $ $ $ — $ $ $ $ — $ Liabilities Financing derivative $ — $ — $ $ $ — $ — $ $ We classify our cash deposits and money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using bank balances or quoted market prices. We classify our investments as Level 2 instruments based on market pricing and other observable inputs. We did not classify any of our investments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the nine- month period s ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014 , there were no impairments of our investments. The estimated fair value of the Financing Derivative l iability (as defined in Note 6. Notes Payable) was determined using Level 3 inputs, or significant unobservable inputs. Changes to the estimated fair value of the Financing Derivative are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income ( loss ) . The following table provides the changes in the estimated fair value of the Financial Derivative during the nine -month period ended September 30 , 2015 (in thousands): Financial Derivative Amount Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ Gain on change in estimated fair value Balance as of September 30, 2015 $ During the nine -month period ended September 30 , 2015 there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used did not change compared to our established practice. Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis The carrying amount of our accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, current, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our other liabilities, non-current , approximates fair value due to the time to maturity and prevailing market rates. We determined the estimated fair value of the Notes (as defined in Note 6 . Notes Payable) using Level 3 inputs, or significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined by comparing the difference between the estimated fair value of the Notes with and without the Financing Derivative by calculating the respective present values from future cash flows using a weighted average market yield of 18.3% and 19.5% at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the Notes are as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Notes payable $ $ $ $ Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per share and diluted net income (loss) per share are presented in conformity with ASC 260 Earnings per Share , for all periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potential shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and common stock issuable pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the calculation of weighted average shares of common stock used in the computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three-Month Periods Ended Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net income (loss) $ $ $ $ Basic Weighted average shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share $ $ $ $ Diluted Weighted average shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per share Add: weighted average stock options — — — Add: weighted average warrants — — — Weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share Diluted net income (loss) per share $ $ $ $ The following outstanding common stock options and warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Options to purchase common stock Warrants to purchase common stock — Recent Accounting Pronouncements On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard for periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted but not earlier than the original effective date. Accordingly, the updated standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 201 8 . We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. This ASU requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual report ing periods beginning after December 15, 201 5 and is effective for us in the first quarter of 201 6 . Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and we will adopt it for the year ended December 31, 2015. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by replacing today’s lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The guidance applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM). Entities that use LIFO or RIM will continue to use existing impairment models (e.g., entities using LIFO would apply the lower of cost or market test). This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual report periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is effective for us in the first quarter of 201 7 . Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new guidance must be applied prospectively after the date of adoption . We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial statements and related disclosures. |
