Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Cost of Pharma Development Services
Cost of pharma development services generally consists of personnel-related expenses (comprised of salaries, benefits, bonuses, and share-based compensation), the cost of consumables, equipment expenses associated with sample processing, costs paid to contract research organizations for lab services and clinical trial support, and allocated overhead costs. Allocated overhead costs include allocated occupancy costs and information technology costs. Costs associated with processing samples are recorded regardless of whether revenue was recognized with respect to the performance obligation. Additional costs associated with companion diagnostic development services for biopharmaceutical companies also include, but are not limited to, contractors and professional services, regulatory fees, and commercialization fees.
Costs incurred for process development, feasibility, or analytical and clinical validation activities that would have otherwise been incurred for product development for STRATAFIDE and PCM IVD are reported as research and development expenses.
Research and Development
We are currently conducting research and development activities for product and service offerings across therapy optimization and cancer monitoring. Expenditures made for research and development are charged to expense as incurred and include, but are not limited to, personnel-related expenses (comprised of salaries, benefits, bonuses, and share-based compensation), laboratory supplies, biorepository and sequencing costs, consulting services, including, but not limited to, statistical analysis, engineering, and regulatory services, and allocated overhead costs. Allocated overhead costs include allocated occupancy costs and information technology costs.
A component of our internal research and development expenses related to process development, feasibility, or analytical and clinical validation activities also meet the performance obligations under contracts to provide companion diagnostic development services.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments effective January 1, 2020. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement effective January 1, 2020. The ASU makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst, or hierarchy associated with, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
