Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Business The principal activity of Quotient Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group” and or the “Company”) is the development, manufacture and sale of products for the global transfusion diagnostics market. Products manufactured by the Group are sold to hospitals, blood banking operations and other diagnostics companies worldwide. From its incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2017, the Company has raised $70.6 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of its ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $132.8 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of its shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants and $84.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes (“the Secured Notes”). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, on April 10, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of 8,050,000 newly issued ordinary shares at a price of $6.00 per share which raised $48.3 million of gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On October 24, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements for the private placement of (i) 7,864,683 newly issued ordinary shares at a subscription price of $4.64 per share, (ii) newly issued warrants, at a purchase price of $0.125 per underlying warrant share, exercisable for up to 8,414,683 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.80 per ordinary share, and (iii) newly issued pre-funded warrants, at a purchase price of $4.755 per underlying pre-funded warrant share, exercisable for up to 550,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per ordinary share. The aggregate gross proceeds were $40.2 million. If the warrants are exercised in full prior to their expiration on July 31, 2018, it would result in additional proceeds of $48.8 million. However, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be exercised. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since it commenced operations in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $275.6 million as of March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, the Company had available cash holdings and short-term investments of $25.5 million. to obtain adequate financing when necessary and the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to the Company and may result in dilution to its Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. All gains and losses realized from foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the foreign subsidiary’s functional currency are included in foreign currency exchange gain (loss) as part of other income or expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of all foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and changes in shareholders’ deficit. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at rates approximating the weighted average rates during the period. The translation effects of inter-company loans designated as long term net investments in subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company defines fair value 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. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on the following three levels of inputs: • 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. See Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for information and related disclosures regarding our fair value measurements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, all cash and cash equivalents comprised cash balances held with the banks used by the Company and its subsidiaries. At March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company held $320 and $305 respectively in a restricted account as security for the property rental obligations of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary and $5.0 million in a cash reserve account pursuant to the indenture governing the Secured Notes. The cash reserve account is classified as a long- term asset as the indenture requires it to be maintained while the Secured Notes remain outstanding. Short-term Investments Short-term investments represent investments in a money-market fund which is valued daily and which has no minimum notice period for withdrawals. The fund is invested in a portfolio of holdings and the creditworthiness requirement for individual investment holdings is a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency. The Company records the value of its investment in the fund based on the quoted value of the fund at the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are transferred to the statement of comprehensive loss when they are realized. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded as general and administrative expenses. The Company reviews its trade receivables to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for all other receivables not included in the specific reserve by applying specific rates of projected uncollectible receivables to the various aging categories. In determining these percentages, the Company analyzes its historical collection experience, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. The allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $93 and $103, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risks and Other Uncertainties The carrying amounts for financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Derivative instruments, consisting of foreign exchange contracts and short-term investments are stated at their estimated fair values, based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. The counterparties to the foreign exchange contracts consist of large financial institutions of high credit standing. The short-term investments are invested in a fund which is invested in a portfolio of holdings and the creditworthiness requirement for individual investment holdings is a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency. The Company’s main financial institutions for banking operation held all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from net revenue to customers and distributors located in the United States and other countries. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company provides reserves for potential credit losses but has not experienced significant losses to date. There was one customer whose accounts receivable balance represented 10% or more of total accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. This customer represented 51% and 59% of the accounts receivable balances, as of March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The Company currently sells products through its direct sales force and through third-party distributors. There was one direct customer that accounted for 10% or more of total product sales for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. This customer represented 63%, 60% and 57% of total product sales for the fiscal years March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost) or market, with cost determined on the first-in-first-out method. Accordingly, allocation of fixed production overheads to conversion costs is based on normal capacity of production. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage are expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. No stock-based compensation cost was included in inventory as of March 31, 2018 and 2017. Property and Equipment Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: • Land—not depreciated. • Plant, machinery and equipment—4 to 25 years; • Leasehold improvements—the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, no impairment losses have been recorded. Intangible Assets and Goodwill Intangible assets related to product licenses are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets related to technology and other intangible assets acquired in acquisitions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis as follows: Customer relationships—5 years Brands associated with acquired cell lines—40 years Product licenses—10 years Other intangibles—7 years The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment and conducts the impairment review when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from an asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds the Company’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment value is calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the Company’s estimate of its fair market value. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, significant changes in the Company’s use of acquired assets, the Company’s overall business strategy, or significant negative industry or economic trends. No impairment losses have been recorded in any of the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill resulting from a business combination in 2007 has been fully impaired. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Customers have no right of return except in the case of damaged goods. The Company has not experienced any significant returns of its products. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of product sales. In those cases where the Company bills shipping and handling costs to customers, the amounts billed are classified as revenue. Revenues related to research and development services included in a collaboration agreement are recognized as research and services are performed over the related performance periods for each contract and included in other revenues. A payment that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone is recognized in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. Pursuant to the Umbrella Supply Agreement with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (“Ortho”), in June 2013, the Company executed a product attachment relating to the development of a range of rare antisera products. This product attachment was amended in August 2016. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized the milestones of $1,300 related to the completion of the CE marking of the products for use on Ortho’s automation platforms and $800 related to the receipt of FDA approval of certain of the rare antisera products. The Company earned a milestone of $600 related to the receipt of FDA approval of the rare antisera products in the year ended March 31, 2018 and, under the terms of the amended product attachment, the Company is entitled to receive a milestone payment of $1,500 upon the updating of the FDA approvals to cover use of the products on Ortho’s automation platforms. In January 2015, the Company entered into a supply and distribution agreement with Ortho related to the commercialization and distribution of certain MosaiQ The Company has concluded that as each of these milestones require significant levels of development work to be undertaken and there was no certainty at the start of the projects that the development work would be successful, these milestones are substantive and should be accounted for under the milestone method of revenue recognition. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for company-sponsored and collaborative research and development activities. These costs include direct and research-related overhead expenses. Other than materials assessed as having alternative future uses and which are recognized as prepaid expenses, the Company expenses research and development costs, including the expenses for research under collaborative agreements, as such costs are incurred. Where government grants are available for the sponsorship of such research, the grant receipt is included as a credit against the related expense. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. In determining fair value of the stock-based compensation payments, the Company uses the Black–Scholes model and a single option award approach for share options and a barrier option pricing model for multi-year performance based restricted share units or MRSUs, both of which require the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include: the fair value of the underlying share, estimating the length of time employees will retain their awards before exercising them (expected term), the estimated volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares price over the expected term (expected volatility), risk-free interest rate (interest rate), expected dividends and the number of shares subject to awards that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (forfeitures). Where modifications are made to vesting conditions, as happened during the year ended March 31, 2018 upon the retirement of Paul Cowan, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, the Company considers the nature of the change and accounts for the change in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation – Stock Compensation Share Warrants The Company has three classes of warrants to purchase ordinary shares outstanding: (i) warrants that were issued in December 2013 and August 2015 in connection with the entry into and subsequent amendment of the Company’s then existing secured term loan facility; (ii) warrants issued in October 2017 as part of a private placement of ordinary shares and warrants, and (iii) pre-funded warrants issued in October 2017 as part of the private placement of ordinary shares and warrants. None of these warrants contain any obligation to transfer value and, as such, the issuance of these warrants has been recorded in additional paid in capital as part of shareholders’ equity. The Company also issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares at the time of its initial public offering. These warrants were recorded as a liability because the underlying terms of the warrants contained provisions that may have obligated the Company to transfer value in certain circumstances. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to re-measurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with any change in fair value recognized as component of other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. These warrants expired on October 26, 2015 and were either exercised prior to that date or expired on that date. As a result, at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, there was no longer any liability related to these warrants. Leases At the inception of each lease, the Company reviews the terms of the lease in accordance with ASC 840 Leases Rentals relating to operating leases are expensed over the life of the lease. Derivative Financial Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subjected to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s policy is to mitigate the effect of these exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated business exposures. The Company has a policy that allows the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies. The Company carries derivative financial instruments (derivatives) on the balance sheet at their fair values. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its foreign currency hedges, as counterparties are large, global and well-capitalized financial institutions. To hedge foreign currency risks, the Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts, where possible and prudent. These forward contracts are valued using standard valuation formulas with assumptions about future foreign currency exchange rates derived from existing exchange rates, interest rates, and other market factors. The Company considers its most current forecast in determining the level of foreign currency denominated revenue to hedge as cash flow hedges. The Company combines these forecasts with historical trends to establish the portion of its expected volume to be hedged. The revenue and expenses are hedged and designated as cash flow hedges to protect the Company from exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the related hedge gains and losses on the cash flow hedge are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss at that time. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, but have not been reflected in taxable income. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance to the extent that is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. Pension Obligation The Company maintains a pension plan covering employees in Switzerland pursuant to the requirements of Swiss pension law. Certain aspects of the plan require that it be accounted for as a defined benefit plan pursuant to ASC 715 Compensation – Retirement Benefits The Company uses an actuarial valuation to determine its pension benefit costs and credits. The amounts calculated depend on a variety of key assumptions, including discount rates and expected return on plan assets. Details of the assumptions used to determine the net funded status are set out in Note 11. The Company’s pension plan assets are assigned to their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the valuation principles described in the ‘‘Fair Value of Financial Instruments’’ section above. Debt Issuance Costs and Royalty Rights The Company follows the requirements of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. The royalty rights agreements entered into with subscribers to the issue of the Secured Notes are treated as sales of future revenues that meet the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 “ Debt” Adoption of New Accounting Standards The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases The FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash The FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting |
