Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A summary of significant accounting policies, consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows: Nature of operations and basis of presentation References in these notes to the consolidated financial statements to “Organovo Holdings, Inc.,” “Organovo Holdings,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “our Company” refer to Organovo Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all material intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated in consolidation. In December 2014, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Samsara Sciences, Inc., to focus on the acquisition of qualified cells in support of our commercial and research endeavors. In September 2015, we established another wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Organovo U.K., Ltd., for the primary purpose of establishing a sales presence in Europe. Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts primarily to developing and commercializing a platform technology and functional human tissues that can be employed in drug discovery and development, biological research, and as therapeutic implants for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues and organs. The Company has also focused on raising capital and building infrastructure. In November 2014, the Company announced the commercial release of its first product, the ExVive™ Human Liver Tissue for use in toxicology and other preclinical drug testing. In September 2016, the Company announced that it had begun commercial contracting for services relating to its second product, the ExVive™ Human Kidney tissue. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failing to successfully develop products and services based on its technology and to achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenues to achieve and sustain profitability. NASDAQ listing On August 8, 2016, the Company moved its stock exchange listing to the NASDAQ Global Market, under the “ONVO” ticker symbol. From July 11, 2013 through August 5, 2016, the Company listed its shares on the NYSE MKT. Prior to July 11, 2013, the Company’s shares were quoted on the OTC QX. Liquidity As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $199.3 million. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $29.2 million during the year ended March 31, 2017. Through March 31, 2017, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of convertible notes, the private placement of equity securities, the sale of common stock through public offerings, and through revenue derived from grants, collaborative research agreements, and product and research service-based agreements. Based on its current operating plan and available cash resources, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to fund its business for at least the next twelve months. The Company will need additional capital to further fund the development and commercialization of its human tissues that can be employed in drug discovery and development, biological research, and as therapeutic implants for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues and organs. The Company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash on hand, through revenue derived from research service agreements, product sales, collaborative research agreements, grants, and through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. Depending on market conditions, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs or relinquish rights to our technology on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. Failure to obtain adequate financing could eventually adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include those assumed in revenue recognized under the proportional performance model, the valuation of stock-based compensation expense, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Financial instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and capital lease obligations, the carrying amounts are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Derivative financial instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency. As of March 31, 2017, the Company does not have any derivative liabilities measured on a fair value basis. Historically, the Company reviewed the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issued to determine if they were derivative instruments, including an embedded conversion option that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including a conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments were accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may have issued freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, have been accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. Derivative instruments were initially recorded at fair value and were revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that were to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments were first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, were then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, was amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method. Foreign Currency The functional currency of our wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom is the pound sterling. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated to US dollars based on the applicable exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to US dollars at the exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which are primarily the result of remeasuring US dollar-denominated receivables and payables, are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. For the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized foreign currency translation losses of approximately $11,000, $0 and $0, respectively. Restricted cash As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had approximately $127,000 and $79,000 of restricted cash, respectively, deposited with a financial institution. The entire amount is held in certificates of deposit to support a letter of credit agreement related to the Company’s facility lease. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of the cost or market (first-in, first-out). Inventory at March 31, 2017 consists of approximately $467,000 in raw materials, approximately $83,000 in work-in-process inventory, and approximately $0 in finished goods. Inventory at March 31, 2016 consisted of approximately $206,000 in raw materials, approximately $15,000 in work-in progress inventory, and approximately $113,000 in finished goods. Fixed assets and depreciation Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the remaining lease term. The estimated useful lives of the fixed assets range between one and seven years. Impairment of long-lived assets In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and other assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates whether future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets and adjusts the carrying amount of its assets to fair value. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets occurred as of March 31, 2017. Fair value measurement Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company had issued warrants, of which some were classified as derivative liabilities as a result of the terms in the warrants that provide for down-round protection in the event of a dilutive issuance. The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities. The estimated fair values were determined using a Monte Carlo option pricing model based on various assumptions (see Note 4). The Company’s derivative liabilities were adjusted to reflect estimated fair value at each period end, with any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expense accordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of derivative liabilities. Various factors were considered in the pricing models we used to value the warrants, including the Company’s current stock price, the remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. During the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company valued its derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 820. The remaining warrants expired as of March 31, 2017 and were removed from the Balance Sheet. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured on a fair value basis as of March 31, 2017. The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Balance at March 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant liability $ — $ — $ — $ — Balance at March 31, 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant liability $ 4 $ — $ — $ 4 The following table presents the activity for liabilities measured at estimated fair value using unobservable inputs for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant Derivative Liability (in thousands) Balance at March 31, 2015 $ 126 Issuances $ — Adjustments to estimated fair value $ 17 Warrant liability removal due to settlements $ (139 ) Balance at March 31, 2016 $ 4 Issuances $ — Adjustments to estimated fair value $ (4 ) Warrant liability removal due to settlements $ — Balance at March 31, 2017 $ — Research and development Research and development expenses, including direct and allocated expenses, consist of independent research and development costs, as well as costs associated with sponsored research and development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Income taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the combination of the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Revenue recognition The Company’s revenues are derived from research service agreements, product sales, collaborative research agreements, and grants from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), U.S. Treasury Department and private not-for-profit organizations. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) services have been rendered or product has been delivered; (iii) price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collection of the underlying receivable is reasonably assured. Billings to customers or payments received from customers are included in deferred revenue on the balance sheet until all revenue recognition criteria are met. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had approximately $640,000 and $1,110,000, respectively, in deferred revenue related to its commercial products and research service agreements, grants, and collaborative research programs. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables The Company follows ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements While changes in the allocation of the arrangement consideration between the units of accounting will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular sales arrangement, any material changes in these allocations could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which could affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company periodically receives license fees for non-exclusive research licensing associated with funded research projects. License fees under these arrangements are recognized over the term of the contract or development period as it has been determined that such licenses do not have stand-alone value. Revenue from research service agreements For research service agreements that contain only a single or primary deliverable, the Company defers any up-front fees collected from customers, and recognizes revenue for the delivered element only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. For agreements that contain multiple deliverables, the Company follows ASC 605-25 as described above. Research and development revenue under collaborative agreements The Company’s collaboration revenue consists of license and collaboration agreements that contain multiple elements, including non-refundable up-front fees, payments for reimbursement of third-party research costs, payments for ongoing research, payments associated with achieving specific development milestones and royalties based on specified percentages of net product sales, if any. The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate method of revenue recognition under these arrangements, such as whether the elements are separable, whether there are determinable fair values and whether there is a unique earnings process associated with each element of a contract. The Company recognizes revenue from research funding under collaboration agreements when earned on a “proportional performance” basis as research services are provided or substantive milestones are achieved. The Company recognizes revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for the milestone (i) is consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone or the increase in value to the collaboration resulting from our performance, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the risks that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables. The Company initially defers revenue for any amounts billed or payments received in advance of the services being performed, and recognizes revenue pursuant to the related pattern of performance, using the appropriate method of revenue recognition based on its analysis of the related contractual element(s). In September 2013, the Company entered into a research contract agreement with a third party to perform research and development services for fixed fees. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded approximately $69,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 in revenue related to the research contract in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In October 2013, the Company entered into a research contract agreement with a third party to perform research and development services for fixed fees. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded approximately $41,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 in revenue related to the research contract in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In November 2014, the Company entered into a collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing bioprinted tissues for surgical transplantation research. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. The Company recorded approximately $32,000, $50,000 and $18,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in revenue related to this collaboration in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In April 2015, the Company entered into a research collaboration agreement with a third party to develop custom tissue models for fixed fees. Based on the proportional performance achieved under this agreement for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has recorded approximately $117,000 and $352,000, respectively, in collaboration revenue. Also in April 2015, the Company entered into a multi-year research agreement with a third party to develop multiple custom tissue models for use in drug development. Approximately $835,000 and $80,000 under this agreement was recognized as revenue in recognition of the proportional performance achieved during the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In June 2016, the Company announced it had entered into another collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing bioprinted tissues for skeletal disease research. The Company received an up-front payment in June 2016, which has initially been recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue of $34,000 has been recorded under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. In December 2016, the Company signed another collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing an architecturally correct kidney for potential therapeutic applications. The Company received up-front payments in January and March of 2017, which has been recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue of $3,000 has been recorded under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. Product revenue The Company recognizes product revenue at the time of shipment to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. As our commercial sales increase, we expect to establish a reserve for estimated product returns that will be recorded as a reduction to revenue. That reserve will be maintained to account for future return of products sold in the current period. The reserve will be reviewed quarterly and will be estimated based on an analysis of our historical experience related to product returns. Cost of revenue We reported $1.0 million in cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2017. This is our first full year reporting this cost line item, which reflects costs related to manufacturing and delivering our product and service. Cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2016 was minimal and was included in research and development expense. Grant revenues During August of 2013, the Company was awarded a research grant by a private, not-for-profit organization for up to $251,700, contingent on go/no-go decisions made by the grantor at the completion of each stage of research as outlined in the grant award. Revenues from the grant are based upon internal costs incurred that are specifically covered by the grant, plus an additional rate that provides funding for overhead expenses. Revenue is recognized when the Company incurs expenses that are related to the grant. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. Revenue recognized under this grant was approximately $41,000, $43,000 and $49,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During September of 2014, the NIH awarded the Company a research grant totaling approximately $222,000. The grant provides for fixed payments based on the achievement of certain milestones. As such, revenue will be recognized upon completion of those milestones. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2016. Revenue recognized under this grant was approximately $0, $148,000, and $74,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, The Company accounts for equity instruments, including restricted stock or stock options, issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity based payments to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered. Restricted stock issued to non-employees is accounted for at its estimated fair value as it vests. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company is required to record all components of comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the comprehensive loss was materially equal to the net loss, and consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation. Net loss per share Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute diluted loss per share excludes any assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, the assumed release of restriction of restricted stock units, and shares subject to repurchase as the effect would be anti-dilutive. No dilutive effect was calculated for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 as the Company reported a net loss for each respective period and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Total common stock equivalents that were excluded from computing diluted net loss per share were approximately 12.4 million, 10.7 million, and 8.6 million for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Liability	4. Derivative Liability During 2011 and 2012, the Company issued 22,847,182 five-year warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in connection with financing transactions. The exercise price of the warrants is protected against down-round financing throughout the term of the warrants. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-40, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a derivative liability on the issuance dates. The Company revalued the warrants as of the end of each reporting period, and the estimated fair value of the outstanding warrant liabilities was $0 and $4,000 as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the year ended March 31, 2017 was a decrease of $4,000. The changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were an increase of $17,000 and a decrease of $196,000, respectively. These changes are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 0 and 43,796 warrants that were classified as derivative liabilities were exercised. The warrants were revalued as of the settlement date and the change in fair value was recognized to earnings. During the year ended March 31, 2017, 3,350 warrants expired. As of March 31, 2017, all warrants subject to derivative treatment have been exercised or have expired. The derivative liabilities were valued upon issuance of the warrants and at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions: March 31, 2016 Closing price per share of common stock $ 2.17 Exercise price per share $ 1.00 Expected volatility 73.35 % Risk-free interest rate 0.59 % Dividend yield — Remaining expected term of underlying securities (years) 0.96

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	5. Stockholders’ Equity Stock-based compensation expense and valuation information Stock-based compensation expense for all stock awards consists of the following (in thousands): Year Ended March 31, 2017 Year Ended March 31, 2016 (1) Year Ended March 31, 2015 Research and development $ 1,646 $ 1,248 $ 1,190 General and administrative $ 5,746 $ 7,308 $ 5,830 Total $ 7,392 $ 8,556 $ 7,020 (1) Included in total stock option-based compensation for the year ended March 31, 2016 is additional expense resulting from acceleration of the vesting schedule to fully vest options held by a terminated executive as pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, as part of the severance agreement, a modification was made to extend the exercise period of the fully vested options, resulting in an incremental expense. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option grants as of March 31, 2017 was approximately $10,271,000 and the weighted average period over which these grants are expected to vest is 2.20 years. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units as of March 31, 2017 was approximately $3,557,000, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.86 years. As of March 31, 2017, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards. The Company calculates the grant date fair value of all stock-based awards in determining the stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based awards include (i) stock options, (ii) restricted stock awards, (iii) restricted stock units, and (iv) options to purchase stock granted under the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of stock options was estimated at the grant date using the following weighted average assumptions: Year Ended March 31, 2017 Year Ended March 31, 2016 Year Ended March 31, 2015 Dividend yield — — — Volatility 72.17 % 73.96 % 76.90 % Risk-free interest rate 1.16 % 1.57 % 1.60 % Expected life of options 6.00 years 6.00 years 6.00 years Weighted average grant date fair value $ 2.41 $ 2.52 $ 4.14 The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Due to the Company’s limited historical data, the estimated volatility incorporates the historical and implied volatility of comparable companies whose share prices are publicly available. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury rates. The weighted average expected life of options was estimated using the average of the contractual term and the weighted average vesting term of the options. Certain options granted to consultants are subject to variable accounting treatment and are required to be revalued until vested. The fair value of each restricted stock award is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of the award. The fair value is based on the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of the award. The fair value is based on the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of shares issued pursuant to the Company’s ESPP. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the purchase period using the straight-line method. The fair value of ESPP shares was estimated at the purchase period commencement date using the following weighted average assumptions: Year Ended March 31, 2017 Dividend yield — Volatility 72.89 % - 74.70 % Risk-free interest rate 0.47 % - 0.79 % Expected term 6 months Grant date fair value $ 1.04 - 1.22 The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Due to the Company’s limited historical data, the estimated volatility incorporates the historical and implied volatility of comparable companies whose share prices are publicly available. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury rates. The expected life is the 6-month purchase period. Preferred stock The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding, and the Company has no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock. Common stock In May of 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”).

On the same date, the Company filed a post-effective amendment to the 2013 Shelf de-registering all remaining securities that could have been offered by the Company pursuant to the 2013 Shelf. Based on sales through March 31, 2017, the Company can sell an additional $21.9 million of shares pursuant to the 2014 Sales Agreement under the 2015 Shelf. The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised through any at-the-market sales for general corporate purposes, including research and development, the commercialization of the Company’s products, general administrative expenses, and working capital and capital expenditures. On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Jefferies LLC and Piper Jaffray & Co., acting as representatives of the underwriters named in the 2015 Underwriting Agreement and as joint book-running managers, relating to the issuance and sale of 9,425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “2015 Offering”).

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year ended March 31, 2017: Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at March 31, 2016 9,614,627 $ 4.79 $ 1,927,137 Options granted 1,955,016 $ 3.79 $ — Options canceled (368,171 ) $ 5.64 $ — Options exercised (245,271 ) $ 2.38 $ 356,616 Outstanding at March 31, 2017 10,956,201 $ 4.63 $ 4,876,437 Vested and Exercisable at March 31, 2017 7,054,815 $ 4.64 $ 4,380,611 The weighted-average remaining contractual term of stock options exercisable and outstanding at March 31, 2017 was approximately 5.89 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In June 2016, our Board of Directors adopted, and in August 2016 stockholders subsequently approved, the 2016 ESPP, consisting of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The ESPP permits employees after five months of service to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, limited to 15 percent of each employee’s compensation up to $25,000 or 10,000 shares per employee per year. Shares under the ESPP are purchased at 85 percent of the fair market value at the lower of (i) the closing price on the first trading day of the six-month purchase period or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day of the six-month purchase period. The initial offering period commenced in September 2016. During the year ended March 31, 2017, 52,557 shares were issued under the ESPP. At March 31, 2017, there were 1,447,443 shares remaining available for the purchase under the ESPP. Warrants During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase 21,347,182 and 2,909,750 shares, respectively, of its common stock. During the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 353,093, 0 and 203,000 of these warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of approximately $336,000, $0 and $445,000, respectively, and 469,000, 43,796 and 8,647 of these warrants were exercised through a cashless exercise for issuance of 347,286, 32,914 and 7,600 shares of common stock, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company entered into amendment agreements for 269,657 warrants to purchase common stock which reduced the exercise price of the warrants from $1.00 to $0.85, which removed the down-round price protection provision of the warrant agreement related to the adjustment of the exercise price upon issuance of additional shares of common stock. As a result of the removal of the down-round price protection provision, the warrants were reclassified from liability to equity instruments at their fair value. The Company determined the incremental expense associated with the modification based on the fair value of the awards prior to and subsequent to the modification. The fair value of the awards subsequent to modification was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The incremental expense associated with the modification of approximately $12,000 was recognized as interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2014. In 2012, the Company issued a total of 650,000 warrants to purchase common stock, in connection with consulting agreements, at prices ranging from $1.70 to $3.24, with lives ranging from two to five years, to be earned over service periods of up to six months. During the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, 0, 0, and 0 warrants held by consultants were exercised. As of March 31, 2017, 1,370 of these warrants are outstanding. Additionally, during September 2014, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to a consultant in recognition of services previously provided. These warrants were classified as equity instruments because they do not contain any anti-dilution provisions. As of December 31, 2014, the full amount of the warrants related to these services, approximately $237,000 had been recognized. In November 2014, in connection with a consulting agreement, the Company issued 145,000 warrants to purchase common stock, at a price of $6.84, with a life of five years, to be earned over a seventeen month service period ended on March 31, 2016. The final number of vested warrant shares was 95,000, based on management’s judgment of the satisfaction of specific performance metrics. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be approximately $74,000, which was revalued and amortized over the term of the consulting agreement. These warrants were classified as equity instruments because they do not contain any anti-dilution provisions. The Black-Scholes model, using a volatility rate of 73.4% and a risk-free interest rate factor of 1.21%, was used to determine the value as of March 31, 2016. The Company recognized approximately $6,000 and $31,000 during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these services. As of March 31, 2016, these warrants were fully expensed. The following table summarizes warrant activity for the years ended March 31, 2017: Warrants Weighted-Average Exercise Price Balance at March 31, 2016 1,046,813 $ 2.29 Granted — — Expired / Canceled (3,350 ) $ 1.00 Exercised (822,093 ) $ 0.98 Balance at March 31, 2017 221,370 $ 7.16 The warrants outstanding at March 31, 2017 are immediately exercisable at prices between $2.28 and $7.62 per share, and have a weighted average remaining term of approximately 1.86 years.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	6. Commitments and Contingencies Operating leases The Company leases laboratory and office space in San Diego, California under three non-cancelable leases as described below. Since July 2012, the Company has leased its main facilities at 6275 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, CA 92121. The lease, as amended in 2013, 2015 and 2016, consists of approximately 45,580 rentable square feet containing laboratory, clean room and office space. Monthly rental payments are currently approximately $120,000 per month with 3% annual escalators. The lease term for 14,685 of the total rentable square footage expires on December 15, 2018, with the remainder of the rentable square footage expiring on September 1, 2021, with the Company having an option to terminate this lease on or after September 1, 2019. On January 9, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to lease a second facility consisting of 5,803 rentable square feet of office and lab space located at 6310 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, CA 92121. The term of the lease is 36 months, beginning on February 1, 2015 and ending on January 31, 2018, with monthly rental payments of approximately $12,000 commencing on April 1, 2015. In addition, there are annual rent escalations of 3% on each 12-month anniversary of the lease commencement date. In addition to these two leases, the Company previously leased a third facility from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017, consisting of 12,088 rentable square feet of office space located at 6166 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, California 92121 with a monthly rent of $15,000. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the leases and records the excess of expense over the amounts paid as deferred rent. In addition, one of the leases provides for certain improvements made for the Company’s benefit to be funded by the landlord. Such costs, totaling approximately $518,000 to date, have been capitalized as fixed assets and included in deferred rent. Rent expense was approximately $1,295,000, $1,088,000, and $968,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2017, are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 1,596 Fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 1,464 Fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 1,072 Fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 1,104 Fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 468 Thereafter — Total $ 5,704 Legal matters In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject, from time to time, to various claims and pending and potential legal actions arising out of the normal conduct of its business. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its financial statements. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing litigation contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against it may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of its potential liability. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of its accruals and related disclosures. During the period presented, the Company has not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with such claims or legal proceedings; determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible; or determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forwards $ — $ — Research and development credits — — Depreciation and amortization (71 ) (105 ) Accrued expenses and reserves 1,373 862 Stock compensation 6,720 5,584 Other, net 7 12 Total deferred tax assets 8,029 6,353 Valuation allowance (8,029 ) (6,353 ) $ — $ — A full valuation allowance has been established to offset the deferred tax assets as management cannot conclude that realization of such assets is more likely than not. Under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, annual use of our net operating loss and research tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income may be limited based on cumulative changes in ownership. We have not completed an analysis to determine whether any such limitations have been triggered as of March 31, 2017. Until this analysis is completed, we have removed the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and research credits from our deferred tax asset schedule. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation known, no amounts are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any carryforwards that will expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,676,000 and $2,107,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $119,845,000 and $69,040,000 and $326,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2017. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in 2028, unless previously utilized. The foreign net operating loss carry forwards do not expire. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies how several aspects of share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt this ASU in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company has excess tax benefits for which a benefit could not be previously recognized of approximately $6,332, 000. Upon adoption, the balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits will be reversed with the impact recorded to retained earnings including any change to the valuation allowance as a result of the adoption. Due to the full valuation allowance of the U.S. deferred tax assets, the Company does not expect any impact to the financial statements as a result of this adoption. The Company had federal and state research tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1,793,000 and $2,076,000 at March 31, 2017, respectively. The federal research tax credit carryforwards begin expiring in 2028. The state research tax credit carryforwards do not expire. In 2009, the Company adopted the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes pursuant to ASC 740-10. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company did not record any accruals for income tax accounting uncertainties for the year ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties that would be assessed in relation to the settlement value of unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not accrue either interest or penalties from inception through March 31, 2017. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits that will significantly decrease or increase within 12 months of March 31, 2017. The Company is subject to tax in the United States, in various state jurisdictions, and in the United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s tax years from inception are subject to examination by the tax authorities due to the generation of net operating losses. The Company is not currently under examination by any jurisdiction.

Risks And Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentrations	9. Concentrations Credit risk and significant customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions primarily located within the United States. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents. The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk in its revenues and accounts receivable. Because it is in the early commercial stage, the Company’s revenues to date have been derived from a relatively small number of customers and collaborators. However, the Company has not historically experienced any accounts receivable write-downs and management does not believe significant credit risk exists as of March 31, 2017.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires 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 standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard was originally effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early application permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 that defers by one year the effective date for all entities, with application permitted as of the original effective date. The updated standard becomes effective for us on April 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of April 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that this update will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of this updated standard on our ongoing financial reporting. We do not have plans to adopt this standard prior to the effective date. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms of more than 12 months and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This new guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which requires an entity recognize excess tax benefits and deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit, the cash flows of which should be included as operating activity in the statement of cash flows. An entity is allowed to either continue accruing compensation cost based on expected forfeitures or to begin recognizing expense as forfeitures occur. In addition, an entity may withhold the maximum statutory tax, increasing the allowable cash settlement portion of awards. The cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax purposes should be included in the financing activity section of the statement of cash flows. This new guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period. The requirements of ASU 2016-09 are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of operations and basis of presentation References in these notes to the consolidated financial statements to “Organovo Holdings, Inc.,” “Organovo Holdings,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “our Company” refer to Organovo Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all material intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated in consolidation. In December 2014, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Samsara Sciences, Inc., to focus on the acquisition of qualified cells in support of our commercial and research endeavors. In September 2015, we established another wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Organovo U.K., Ltd., for the primary purpose of establishing a sales presence in Europe. Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts primarily to developing and commercializing a platform technology and functional human tissues that can be employed in drug discovery and development, biological research, and as therapeutic implants for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues and organs. The Company has also focused on raising capital and building infrastructure. In November 2014, the Company announced the commercial release of its first product, the ExVive™ Human Liver Tissue for use in toxicology and other preclinical drug testing. In September 2016, the Company announced that it had begun commercial contracting for services relating to its second product, the ExVive™ Human Kidney tissue. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failing to successfully develop products and services based on its technology and to achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenues to achieve and sustain profitability.
Liquidity	Liquidity As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $199.3 million. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $29.2 million during the year ended March 31, 2017. Through March 31, 2017, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of convertible notes, the private placement of equity securities, the sale of common stock through public offerings, and through revenue derived from grants, collaborative research agreements, and product and research service-based agreements. Based on its current operating plan and available cash resources, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to fund its business for at least the next twelve months. The Company will need additional capital to further fund the development and commercialization of its human tissues that can be employed in drug discovery and development, biological research, and as therapeutic implants for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues and organs. The Company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash on hand, through revenue derived from research service agreements, product sales, collaborative research agreements, grants, and through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. Depending on market conditions, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs or relinquish rights to our technology on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. Failure to obtain adequate financing could eventually adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include those assumed in revenue recognized under the proportional performance model, the valuation of stock-based compensation expense, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Financial instruments	Financial instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and capital lease obligations, the carrying amounts are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative financial instruments	Derivative financial instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency. As of March 31, 2017, the Company does not have any derivative liabilities measured on a fair value basis. Historically, the Company reviewed the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issued to determine if they were derivative instruments, including an embedded conversion option that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including a conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments were accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may have issued freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, have been accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. Derivative instruments were initially recorded at fair value and were revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that were to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments were first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, were then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, was amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency The functional currency of our wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom is the pound sterling. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated to US dollars based on the applicable exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to US dollars at the exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which are primarily the result of remeasuring US dollar-denominated receivables and payables, are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. For the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized foreign currency translation losses of approximately $11,000, $0 and $0, respectively.
Restricted cash	Restricted cash As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had approximately $127,000 and $79,000 of restricted cash, respectively, deposited with a financial institution. The entire amount is held in certificates of deposit to support a letter of credit agreement related to the Company’s facility lease.
Inventory	Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of the cost or market (first-in, first-out). Inventory at March 31, 2017 consists of approximately $467,000 in raw materials, approximately $83,000 in work-in-process inventory, and approximately $0 in finished goods. Inventory at March 31, 2016 consisted of approximately $206,000 in raw materials, approximately $15,000 in work-in progress inventory, and approximately $113,000 in finished goods.
Fixed assets and depreciation	Fixed assets and depreciation Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the remaining lease term. The estimated useful lives of the fixed assets range between one and seven years.
Impairment of long-lived assets	Impairment of long-lived assets In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and other assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates whether future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets and adjusts the carrying amount of its assets to fair value. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets occurred as of March 31, 2017.
Fair value measurement	Fair value measurement Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company had issued warrants, of which some were classified as derivative liabilities as a result of the terms in the warrants that provide for down-round protection in the event of a dilutive issuance. The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities. The estimated fair values were determined using a Monte Carlo option pricing model based on various assumptions (see Note 4). The Company’s derivative liabilities were adjusted to reflect estimated fair value at each period end, with any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expense accordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of derivative liabilities. Various factors were considered in the pricing models we used to value the warrants, including the Company’s current stock price, the remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. During the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company valued its derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 820. The remaining warrants expired as of March 31, 2017 and were removed from the Balance Sheet. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured on a fair value basis as of March 31, 2017. The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Balance at March 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant liability $ — $ — $ — $ — Balance at March 31, 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant liability $ 4 $ — $ — $ 4 The following table presents the activity for liabilities measured at estimated fair value using unobservable inputs for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Warrant Derivative Liability (in thousands) Balance at March 31, 2015 $ 126 Issuances $ — Adjustments to estimated fair value $ 17 Warrant liability removal due to settlements $ (139 ) Balance at March 31, 2016 $ 4 Issuances $ — Adjustments to estimated fair value $ (4 ) Warrant liability removal due to settlements $ — Balance at March 31, 2017 $ —
Research and development	Research and development Research and development expenses, including direct and allocated expenses, consist of independent research and development costs, as well as costs associated with sponsored research and development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income taxes	Income taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the combination of the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company’s revenues are derived from research service agreements, product sales, collaborative research agreements, and grants from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), U.S. Treasury Department and private not-for-profit organizations. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) services have been rendered or product has been delivered; (iii) price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collection of the underlying receivable is reasonably assured. Billings to customers or payments received from customers are included in deferred revenue on the balance sheet until all revenue recognition criteria are met. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had approximately $640,000 and $1,110,000, respectively, in deferred revenue related to its commercial products and research service agreements, grants, and collaborative research programs.
Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables	Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables The Company follows ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements While changes in the allocation of the arrangement consideration between the units of accounting will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular sales arrangement, any material changes in these allocations could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which could affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company periodically receives license fees for non-exclusive research licensing associated with funded research projects. License fees under these arrangements are recognized over the term of the contract or development period as it has been determined that such licenses do not have stand-alone value.
Revenue from research service agreements	Revenue from research service agreements For research service agreements that contain only a single or primary deliverable, the Company defers any up-front fees collected from customers, and recognizes revenue for the delivered element only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. For agreements that contain multiple deliverables, the Company follows ASC 605-25 as described above.
Research and development revenue under collaborative agreements	Research and development revenue under collaborative agreements The Company’s collaboration revenue consists of license and collaboration agreements that contain multiple elements, including non-refundable up-front fees, payments for reimbursement of third-party research costs, payments for ongoing research, payments associated with achieving specific development milestones and royalties based on specified percentages of net product sales, if any. The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate method of revenue recognition under these arrangements, such as whether the elements are separable, whether there are determinable fair values and whether there is a unique earnings process associated with each element of a contract. The Company recognizes revenue from research funding under collaboration agreements when earned on a “proportional performance” basis as research services are provided or substantive milestones are achieved. The Company recognizes revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for the milestone (i) is consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone or the increase in value to the collaboration resulting from our performance, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the risks that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables. The Company initially defers revenue for any amounts billed or payments received in advance of the services being performed, and recognizes revenue pursuant to the related pattern of performance, using the appropriate method of revenue recognition based on its analysis of the related contractual element(s). In September 2013, the Company entered into a research contract agreement with a third party to perform research and development services for fixed fees. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded approximately $69,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 in revenue related to the research contract in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In October 2013, the Company entered into a research contract agreement with a third party to perform research and development services for fixed fees. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded approximately $41,000 for the year ended March 31, 2015 in revenue related to the research contract in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In November 2014, the Company entered into a collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing bioprinted tissues for surgical transplantation research. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. The Company recorded approximately $32,000, $50,000 and $18,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in revenue related to this collaboration in recognition of the proportional performance achieved. In April 2015, the Company entered into a research collaboration agreement with a third party to develop custom tissue models for fixed fees. Based on the proportional performance achieved under this agreement for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has recorded approximately $117,000 and $352,000, respectively, in collaboration revenue. Also in April 2015, the Company entered into a multi-year research agreement with a third party to develop multiple custom tissue models for use in drug development. Approximately $835,000 and $80,000 under this agreement was recognized as revenue in recognition of the proportional performance achieved during the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In June 2016, the Company announced it had entered into another collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing bioprinted tissues for skeletal disease research. The Company received an up-front payment in June 2016, which has initially been recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue of $34,000 has been recorded under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. In December 2016, the Company signed another collaborative nonexclusive research affiliation with a university medical school and a non-profit medical charity, under which the Company received a one-time grant from the charity towards the placement of a NovoGen Bioprinter at the university for the purpose of developing an architecturally correct kidney for potential therapeutic applications. The Company received up-front payments in January and March of 2017, which has been recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue of $3,000 has been recorded under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017.
Product revenue	Product revenue The Company recognizes product revenue at the time of shipment to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. As our commercial sales increase, we expect to establish a reserve for estimated product returns that will be recorded as a reduction to revenue. That reserve will be maintained to account for future return of products sold in the current period. The reserve will be reviewed quarterly and will be estimated based on an analysis of our historical experience related to product returns.
Grant revenues	Cost of revenue We reported $1.0 million in cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2017. This is our first full year reporting this cost line item, which reflects costs related to manufacturing and delivering our product and service. Cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2016 was minimal and was included in research and development expense. Grant revenues During August of 2013, the Company was awarded a research grant by a private, not-for-profit organization for up to $251,700, contingent on go/no-go decisions made by the grantor at the completion of each stage of research as outlined in the grant award. Revenues from the grant are based upon internal costs incurred that are specifically covered by the grant, plus an additional rate that provides funding for overhead expenses. Revenue is recognized when the Company incurs expenses that are related to the grant. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2017. Revenue recognized under this grant was approximately $41,000, $43,000 and $49,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During September of 2014, the NIH awarded the Company a research grant totaling approximately $222,000. The grant provides for fixed payments based on the achievement of certain milestones. As such, revenue will be recognized upon completion of those milestones. The Company completed its obligations under this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2016. Revenue recognized under this grant was approximately $0, $148,000, and $74,000 for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, The Company accounts for equity instruments, including restricted stock or stock options, issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity based payments to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered. Restricted stock issued to non-employees is accounted for at its estimated fair value as it vests.
Comprehensive income (loss)	Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company is required to record all components of comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the comprehensive loss was materially equal to the net loss, and consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation.
Net loss per share	Net loss per share Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute diluted loss per share excludes any assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, the assumed release of restriction of restricted stock units, and shares subject to repurchase as the effect would be anti-dilutive. No dilutive effect was calculated for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 as the Company reported a net loss for each respective period and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Total common stock equivalents that were excluded from computing diluted net loss per share were approximately 12.4 million, 10.7 million, and 8.6 million for the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
