SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Except as detailed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although we believe that the disclosures in our financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reporting. The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2018. Principles of Consolidation The condensed Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of condensed We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and the amount of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Revenue Recognition Beginning in 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards Updates establishing ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires retrospective implementation, and replaces most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with a new principles-based, five-step revenue recognition model. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenues when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606 and our license agreement with Endo, are as follows: Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold We receive royalty revenues on net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue in the U.S. under our License Agreement with Endo. These are presented in “Royalties” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, we record these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period, thereby eliminating the one quarter lag convention in previous periods. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on interim data provided by Endo and analysis of historical royalties and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue that have been paid to us, adjusted for any changes in facts and circumstances, as appropriate. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known, typically the following quarter. The royalties payable by Endo to us are subject to set-off for certain patent costs. Licensing Revenue We include revenue recognized from upfront licensing, sublicensing and milestone payments in “License Revenues” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recognizes licensing revenues generated through development and/or commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, upfront license fees; sublicensing; development and commercial milestone payments; development activities; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these types of payments results in licensing revenues except for revenues from royalties on net sales of licensed products and the mark-up of cost of goods sold revenues which are classified as royalty revenues. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to the customer. For each development and/or commercialization agreement that result in revenues, the Company identifies all material performance obligations, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from nonrefundable, upfront license fees based on the relative standalone selling price prescribed to the license compared to the total value of the arrangement. The revenue is recognized when the license is transferred to the collaborator and the collaborator is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are not distinct from other obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time, the Company applies an appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from nonrefundable, upfront license fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments Depending on facts and circumstances, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to include the milestone, representing variable consideration, in the estimated total transaction price, or that it is appropriate to fully constrain the milestone. The Company may include revenues from certain milestones in the total transaction price in a reporting period before the milestone is achieved if the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods. The Company records a corresponding contract asset when this conclusion is reached. Milestone payments that have not been included in the transaction price to date are fully constrained. The Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint each reporting period. The Company adjusts its estimate of the total transaction price, including the amount of revenue that it has recorded, if necessary. Recent Accounting Prnouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to equity. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition. The adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified-retrospective method, changed the timing of our recognition of Beginning in 2018, we recorded these royalty revenues based on estimates of the net sales and mark-up cost of goods sold that occurred during the relevant period thereby eliminating the one quarter lag. revenue will no longer be r would have been recognized when the transaction occurred in 2016. The cumulative effect of applying the new guidance of ASC 606 to our License Agreement with Endo as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. As a result of applying the modified retrospective method to adopt the new revenue guidance, the following adjustments were made to accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018: The Company recorded the following cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, itemized here (in millions): As reported December 31, 2017 Adjustments Adjusted January 1, 2018 Accounts receivable $ 4.7 $ 7.6 (1) $ 12.3 Deferred revenue (6.4 ) 6.3 (2) (0.1 ) Deferred royalty buy-down (2.5 ) (0.4 ) (3) (2.9 ) Accounts payable and accrued expenses -third party royalties (0.4 ) (0.5 ) (3) (0.9 ) Deferred tax assets, net 1.7 (1.3 ) (4) 0.4 Income tax payable - (1.4 ) (5) (1.4 ) Retained earnings adjustment $ (2.9 ) $ 10.3 $ 7.4 (1) This adjustment represents the elimination of the one quarter lag by recognizing royalty revenues based on of XIALFLEX net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenues reported to us by Endo for the fourth quarter of 2017.

At March 31, 2018, contract assets of $7.0 million for which there’s an unconditional right to receive payment was included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was as follows: March 31, 2018 As Reported Balances Without Adoption of New Revenue Standard Effect of Change Higher / (Lower) Assets Accounts receivable $ 19,165,670 $ 12,120,670 $ 7,045,000 Deferred royalty buy-down 1,648,319 2,014,598 (366,279 ) Deferred tax assets 403,944 1,696,932 (1,292,988 ) Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued expenses 1,781,163 1,271,163 510,000 Deferred revenue 117,635 1,023,854 (906,219 ) Income tax payable 2,535,676 1,288,977 1,246,699 Deferred revenue, long term 17,635 5,173,564 (5,155,930 ) Equity Retained earnings 56,102,054 46,440,716 9,661,338 In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Balances Without Adoption of New Revenue Standard Effect of Change Higher / (Lower) Revenues Royalties $ 7,085,000 $ 7,731,566 $ (646,566 ) Costs and expenses General and administrative $ 2,069,633 $ 2,087,921 $ (17,418 ) Provision for income taxes 1,078,574 1,220,244 (141,670 ) Net income 3,978,604 4,500,918 (522,314 ) In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance will impact the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values). In addition, the FASB clarified the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. In general, the new guidance will require modified retrospective application to all outstanding instruments, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2018 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosure as we do not currently have any available-for-sale equity investments. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents include only securities having a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Investments are stated on an amortized cost basis. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and investments by placing its investments with banks it believes are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds, certificates of deposit, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. All investments are classified as held to maturity. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amortized cost of these investments was $51.6 million and $57.7 million, respectively. No unrealized gains or losses were recorded in either period. Fair Value Measurements Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, held to maturity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no recorded unrealized gains or losses on our investments as they are held to maturity. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value. The following table presents the Company’s schedule of maturities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: Maturities as of March 31, 2018 Maturities as of December 31, 2017 1 Year or Less Greater than 1 Year 1 Year or Less Greater than 1 Year Municipal bonds $ 3,425,134 $ 100,000 $ 1,002,650 $ 100,000 Corporate bonds 41,828,133 500,230 48,143,495 3,155,573 Certificates of deposit 3,497,939 2,239,961 2,827,826 2,490,401 Total $ 48,751,206 $ 2,840,191 $ 51,973,971 $ 5,745,974 The authoritative literature for fair value measurements established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. These tiers are as follows: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs (entity developed assumptions) in which little or no market data exists. As of March 31, 2018, the Company held certain investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for these financial assets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: March 31, 2018 Type of Instrument Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Institutional Money Market $ 7,432,432 $ 7,432,432 $ - $ - Cash equivalents Certificates of Deposit 250,000 250,000 - - Cash equivalents Corporate Bonds 2,585,000 2,585,000 - - Investments Municipal Bonds 3,525,134 - 3,525,134 - Investments Corporate Bonds 42,328,363 - 42,328,363 - Investments Certificates of Deposit 5,737,900 5,737,900 - - December 31, 2017 Type of Instrument Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Institutional Money Market $ 3,108,549 $ 3,108,549 $ - $ - Cash equivalents Municipal Bonds 800,000 - 800,000 - Investments Municipal Bonds 1,102,650 - 1,102,650 - Investments Corporate Bonds 51,299,068 - 51,299,068 - Investments Certificates of Deposit 5,318,227 5,318,227 - - Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company maintains investments in FDIC insured certificates of deposits, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The Company is currently dependent on one customer, Endo, who generates almost all its revenues. For the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the licensing, sublicensing, milestones, royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $7.1 and $7.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our accounts receivable balances from Endo were $19.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 Receivables and Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. We may maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We consider the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our accounts receivable balance is typically due from Endo, our one large specialty pharmaceutical customer. Endo has historically paid timely and has been a financially stable organization. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, we believe the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal. If the financial condition of our customer were to deteriorate, adversely affecting its ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. We may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. March 31, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our accounts receivable balance of $7.6 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of approximately $35,000 related to nonrefundable upfront product license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development and $100,000 related to a milestone payment withheld by Endo due to a foreign tax withholding which remains uncollected. Currently, the Company expects to recover the full amount. With the adoption of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method as of January 1, 2018, the remaining deferred revenue balance associated with the mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. as of December 31, 2017 of $6.3 million was recorded as an adjustment to our retained earnings. ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. Reimbursable Third-Party Patent Costs We accrue patent costs that are reimbursable to Endo by us under the License Agreement. We capitalize certain patent costs related to patent prosecution and maintenance and expense others. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Third-Party Royalties We have entered into licensing and royalty agreements with third parties and agreed to pay certain royalties on net sales of products for specific indications. The royalty rates differ from agreement to agreement and, in certain cases, have been redacted with the permission of the SEC. No assumptions should be made that any disclosed royalty rate payable to a particular third party is the same or similar with respect to any royalty rate payable to any other third parties. We accrue third-party royalty expenses on net sales reported to us by Endo. Third-party royalty costs are generally expensed under general and administrative in the quarter that the net sales have occurred. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, third-party royalty expenses were $0.5 million in each period. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our retained earnings for third party royalties expense of $0.5 million associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. Royalty Buy-Down On March 31, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our existing agreement with Dr. Martin K. Gelbard, dated August 27, 2008, related to our future royalty obligations in connection with Peyronie’s disease. The amendment enables us to buy down a portion of our future royalty obligations in exchange for an initial cash payment of $1.5 million and five additional cash payments of $600,000, all of which have been paid as of March 31, 2018. Royalty obligations terminate five years after first commercial sale which occurred in January 2014. The Company amortizes long-term contracts with finite lives in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Dr. Gelbard’s agreement is amortized based on an income forecast method by estimating sales of XIAFLEX and Xiapex for Peyronie’s disease on an annual basis as measured by the proportion of the total estimated sales over the five year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we amortized approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million related to this agreement, respectively. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our capitalized balance of $0.4 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. Research and Development Expenses R&D expenses Clinical Trial Expenses Our cost accruals for clinical trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with various clinical trial centers and clinical research consultants. In the normal course of business, we contract with third parties to perform various clinical trial activities in the ongoing development of potential drugs. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful enrollment of patients, the completion of portions of the clinical trial, or similar conditions. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual cost of services received and efforts expended. As such, expenses related to each patient enrolled in a clinical trial are recognized ratably beginning upon entry into the trial and over the course of the patient’s continued participation in the trial. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, we accrue an amount based on our estimate of the remaining non-cancelable obligations associated with the winding down of the clinical trial. Our estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the amounts that may actually be incurred. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan in effect. Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of our employee stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are our estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of our stock and the expected term of an award. When establishing an estimate of the expected term of an option award, we consider the vesting period for the award, our recent historical experience of employee stock option exercises (including forfeitures) and the expected volatility of our common stock. As required under the accounting rules, we review our estimates at each grant date and, as a result, the valuation assumptions that we use to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods may change. On March 15, 2018, we granted a total of 30,000 stock options to two members of our Board of Directors, valued at approximately $540,000. We used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the value of options using 39.6% volatility, a risk free rate of 2.62% and an expected term of 6.25 years. Further, ASC 718 requires that employee stock-based compensation costs be recognized over the requisite service period, or the vesting period, in a manner similar to all other forms of compensation paid to employees. The allocation of employee stock-based compensation costs to each operating expense line are estimated based on specific employee headcount information at each grant date and estimated stock option forfeiture rates and revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual employee headcount information or forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. As a result, the amount of employee stock-based compensation costs we recognize in each operating expense category in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses was approximately $33,000 for each three month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Stock Option Activity A summary of our stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2018 is presented below: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2017 232,000 $ 21.56 2.52 $ 5,050,990 Grants 30,000 41.82 - - Exercised (10,000 ) 13.24 - - Forfeitures or expirations - - - - Outstanding at March 31, 2018 252,000 $ 24.30 3.29 $ 5,049,910 Exercisable at March 31, 2018 207,000 $ 20.80 2.04 $ 4,873,810 During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company received approximately $132,000 and $258,000, respectively, from stock options exercised by option holders. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the closing price of our common stock of $44.34 on March 29, 2018, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. We have approximately $648,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2018, which we expect to recognize over the next 3.45 years. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and autos are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. At each of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, property and equipment were fully depreciated. Comprehensive Income For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we had no components of other comprehensive income other than net income itself. Provision for Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences, using current tax rates, of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-25-2. Under this method, deferred income taxes, when required, are provided on the basis of the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the statutory rates enacted for future periods. Income Statement Classification of Interest and Penalties The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. |

PATENT COSTS | 5. PATENT COSTS We amortize intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years, and review for impairment on a quarterly basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We analyze our intangible assets, specifically, capitalized patent costs, on an annual basis for any indicator that an impairment exists. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we increased our capitalized patent costs based on reports provided to us by Endo. Patent costs may be creditable against future royalty revenues. For each period presented below, net patent costs consisted of: March 31, December 31, Patents 969,614 $ 925,016 Accumulated amortization (543,829 ) (527,023 ) $ 425,785 $ 397,993 The amortization expense for patents for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $16,800 and $10,200, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the remaining nine months of 2018 and each of the years below is approximately as follows: April 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018 $ 51,000 2019 66,200 2020 50,400 2021 34,500 2022 34,500 Thereafter 189,185 |

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Our deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are impacted by events and transactions arising in the ordinary course of business, R&D activities, vesting of nonqualified options and other items. The provision for income taxes is based on an estimated effective tax rate derived from our consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses and other permanent differences for the fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the provision for income taxes was $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our remaining deferred tax assets were approximately $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties. Management does not believe that there is any tax position which it is reasonably possible that will result in unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. |

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Beginning in 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards Updates establishing ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires retrospective implementation, and replaces most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with a new principles-based, five-step revenue recognition model. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenues when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606 and our license agreement with Endo, are as follows: Royalty / Mark-Up on Cost of Goods Sold We receive royalty revenues on net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue in the U.S. under our License Agreement with Endo. These are presented in “Royalties” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, we record these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period, thereby eliminating the one quarter lag convention in previous periods. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on interim data provided by Endo and analysis of historical royalties and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenue that have been paid to us, adjusted for any changes in facts and circumstances, as appropriate. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known, typically the following quarter. The royalties payable by Endo to us are subject to set-off for certain patent costs. Licensing Revenue We include revenue recognized from upfront licensing, sublicensing and milestone payments in “License Revenues” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recognizes licensing revenues generated through development and/or commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, upfront license fees; sublicensing; development and commercial milestone payments; development activities; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these types of payments results in licensing revenues except for revenues from royalties on net sales of licensed products and the mark-up of cost of goods sold revenues which are classified as royalty revenues. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to the customer. For each development and/or commercialization agreement that result in revenues, the Company identifies all material performance obligations, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from nonrefundable, upfront license fees based on the relative standalone selling price prescribed to the license compared to the total value of the arrangement. The revenue is recognized when the license is transferred to the collaborator and the collaborator is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are not distinct from other obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time, the Company applies an appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from nonrefundable, upfront license fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments Depending on facts and circumstances, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to include the milestone, representing variable consideration, in the estimated total transaction price, or that it is appropriate to fully constrain the milestone. The Company may include revenues from certain milestones in the total transaction price in a reporting period before the milestone is achieved if the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods. The Company records a corresponding contract asset when this conclusion is reached. Milestone payments that have not been included in the transaction price to date are fully constrained. The Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint each reporting period. The Company adjusts its estimate of the total transaction price, including the amount of revenue that it has recorded, if necessary. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Prnouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to equity. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition. The adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified-retrospective method, changed the timing of our recognition of Beginning in 2018, we recorded these royalty revenues based on estimates of the net sales and mark-up cost of goods sold that occurred during the relevant period thereby eliminating the one quarter lag. revenue will no longer be r would have been recognized when the transaction occurred in 2016. The cumulative effect of applying the new guidance of ASC 606 to our License Agreement with Endo as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. As a result of applying the modified retrospective method to adopt the new revenue guidance, the following adjustments were made to accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018: The Company recorded the following cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, itemized here (in millions): As reported December 31, 2017 Adjustments Adjusted January 1, 2018 Accounts receivable $ 4.7 $ 7.6 (1) $ 12.3 Deferred revenue (6.4 ) 6.3 (2) (0.1 ) Deferred royalty buy-down (2.5 ) (0.4 ) (3) (2.9 ) Accounts payable and accrued expenses -third party royalties (0.4 ) (0.5 ) (3) (0.9 ) Deferred tax assets, net 1.7 (1.3 ) (4) 0.4 Income tax payable - (1.4 ) (5) (1.4 ) Retained earnings adjustment $ (2.9 ) $ 10.3 $ 7.4 (1) This adjustment represents the elimination of the one quarter lag by recognizing royalty revenues based on of XIALFLEX net sales and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenues reported to us by Endo for the fourth quarter of 2017.

At March 31, 2018, contract assets of $7.0 million for which there’s an unconditional right to receive payment was included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was as follows: March 31, 2018 As Reported Balances Without Adoption of New Revenue Standard Effect of Change Higher / (Lower) Assets Accounts receivable $ 19,165,670 $ 12,120,670 $ 7,045,000 Deferred royalty buy-down 1,648,319 2,014,598 (366,279 ) Deferred tax assets 403,944 1,696,932 (1,292,988 ) Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued expenses 1,781,163 1,271,163 510,000 Deferred revenue 117,635 1,023,854 (906,219 ) Income tax payable 2,535,676 1,288,977 1,246,699 Deferred revenue, long term 17,635 5,173,564 (5,155,930 ) Equity Retained earnings 56,102,054 46,440,716 9,661,338 In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Balances Without Adoption of New Revenue Standard Effect of Change Higher / (Lower) Revenues Royalties $ 7,085,000 $ 7,731,566 $ (646,566 ) Costs and expenses General and administrative $ 2,069,633 $ 2,087,921 $ (17,418 ) Provision for income taxes 1,078,574 1,220,244 (141,670 ) Net income 3,978,604 4,500,918 (522,314 ) In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance will impact the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values). In addition, the FASB clarified the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. In general, the new guidance will require modified retrospective application to all outstanding instruments, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2018 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosure as we do not currently have any available-for-sale equity investments. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents include only securities having a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Investments are stated on an amortized cost basis. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and investments by placing its investments with banks it believes are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds, certificates of deposit, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. All investments are classified as held to maturity. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amortized cost of these investments was $51.6 million and $57.7 million, respectively. No unrealized gains or losses were recorded in either period. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, held to maturity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no recorded unrealized gains or losses on our investments as they are held to maturity. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value. The following table presents the Company’s schedule of maturities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: Maturities as of March 31, 2018 Maturities as of December 31, 2017 1 Year or Less Greater than 1 Year 1 Year or Less Greater than 1 Year Municipal bonds $ 3,425,134 $ 100,000 $ 1,002,650 $ 100,000 Corporate bonds 41,828,133 500,230 48,143,495 3,155,573 Certificates of deposit 3,497,939 2,239,961 2,827,826 2,490,401 Total $ 48,751,206 $ 2,840,191 $ 51,973,971 $ 5,745,974 The authoritative literature for fair value measurements established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. These tiers are as follows: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs (entity developed assumptions) in which little or no market data exists. As of March 31, 2018, the Company held certain investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for these financial assets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: March 31, 2018 Type of Instrument Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Institutional Money Market $ 7,432,432 $ 7,432,432 $ - $ - Cash equivalents Certificates of Deposit 250,000 250,000 - - Cash equivalents Corporate Bonds 2,585,000 2,585,000 - - Investments Municipal Bonds 3,525,134 - 3,525,134 - Investments Corporate Bonds 42,328,363 - 42,328,363 - Investments Certificates of Deposit 5,737,900 5,737,900 - - December 31, 2017 Type of Instrument Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Institutional Money Market $ 3,108,549 $ 3,108,549 $ - $ - Cash equivalents Municipal Bonds 800,000 - 800,000 - Investments Municipal Bonds 1,102,650 - 1,102,650 - Investments Corporate Bonds 51,299,068 - 51,299,068 - Investments Certificates of Deposit 5,318,227 5,318,227 - - |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers | Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company maintains investments in FDIC insured certificates of deposits, municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The Company is currently dependent on one customer, Endo, who generates almost all its revenues. For the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the licensing, sublicensing, milestones, royalty and mark-up on cost of goods sold revenues under the License Agreement with Endo were approximately $7.1 and $7.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our accounts receivable balances from Endo were $19.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. |
Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 |
Receivables and Doubtful Accounts | Receivables and Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. We may maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We consider the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our accounts receivable balance is typically due from Endo, our one large specialty pharmaceutical customer. Endo has historically paid timely and has been a financially stable organization. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, we believe the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal. If the financial condition of our customer were to deteriorate, adversely affecting its ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. We may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. March 31, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our accounts receivable balance of $7.6 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. |
Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of approximately $35,000 related to nonrefundable upfront product license fees for product candidates for which we are providing continuing services related to product development and $100,000 related to a milestone payment withheld by Endo due to a foreign tax withholding which remains uncollected. Currently, the Company expects to recover the full amount. With the adoption of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method as of January 1, 2018, the remaining deferred revenue balance associated with the mark-up on cost of goods sold for sales by non-affiliated sublicensees of Endo outside of the U.S. as of December 31, 2017 of $6.3 million was recorded as an adjustment to our retained earnings. ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. |
Reimbursable Third-Party Patent Costs | Reimbursable Third-Party Patent Costs We accrue patent costs that are reimbursable to Endo by us under the License Agreement. We capitalize certain patent costs related to patent prosecution and maintenance and expense others. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, |
Third-Party Royalties | Third-Party Royalties We have entered into licensing and royalty agreements with third parties and agreed to pay certain royalties on net sales of products for specific indications. The royalty rates differ from agreement to agreement and, in certain cases, have been redacted with the permission of the SEC. No assumptions should be made that any disclosed royalty rate payable to a particular third party is the same or similar with respect to any royalty rate payable to any other third parties. We accrue third-party royalty expenses on net sales reported to us by Endo. Third-party royalty costs are generally expensed under general and administrative in the quarter that the net sales have occurred. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, third-party royalty expenses were $0.5 million in each period. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our retained earnings for third party royalties expense of $0.5 million associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. |
Royalty Buy-Down | Royalty Buy-Down On March 31, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our existing agreement with Dr. Martin K. Gelbard, dated August 27, 2008, related to our future royalty obligations in connection with Peyronie’s disease. The amendment enables us to buy down a portion of our future royalty obligations in exchange for an initial cash payment of $1.5 million and five additional cash payments of $600,000, all of which have been paid as of March 31, 2018. Royalty obligations terminate five years after first commercial sale which occurred in January 2014. The Company amortizes long-term contracts with finite lives in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Dr. Gelbard’s agreement is amortized based on an income forecast method by estimating sales of XIAFLEX and Xiapex for Peyronie’s disease on an annual basis as measured by the proportion of the total estimated sales over the five year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we amortized approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million related to this agreement, respectively. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective adoption method we recorded an adjustment to our capitalized balance of $0.4 million related to royalties associated with the net sales of XIAFLEX that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 thereby eliminating the one quarter lag ( Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses R&D expenses |
Clinical Trial Expenses | Clinical Trial Expenses Our cost accruals for clinical trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with various clinical trial centers and clinical research consultants. In the normal course of business, we contract with third parties to perform various clinical trial activities in the ongoing development of potential drugs. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful enrollment of patients, the completion of portions of the clinical trial, or similar conditions. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual cost of services received and efforts expended. As such, expenses related to each patient enrolled in a clinical trial are recognized ratably beginning upon entry into the trial and over the course of the patient’s continued participation in the trial. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, we accrue an amount based on our estimate of the remaining non-cancelable obligations associated with the winding down of the clinical trial. Our estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the amounts that may actually be incurred. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan in effect. Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of our employee stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are our estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of our stock and the expected term of an award. When establishing an estimate of the expected term of an option award, we consider the vesting period for the award, our recent historical experience of employee stock option exercises (including forfeitures) and the expected volatility of our common stock. As required under the accounting rules, we review our estimates at each grant date and, as a result, the valuation assumptions that we use to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods may change. On March 15, 2018, we granted a total of 30,000 stock options to two members of our Board of Directors, valued at approximately $540,000. We used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the value of options using 39.6% volatility, a risk free rate of 2.62% and an expected term of 6.25 years. Further, ASC 718 requires that employee stock-based compensation costs be recognized over the requisite service period, or the vesting period, in a manner similar to all other forms of compensation paid to employees. The allocation of employee stock-based compensation costs to each operating expense line are estimated based on specific employee headcount information at each grant date and estimated stock option forfeiture rates and revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual employee headcount information or forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. As a result, the amount of employee stock-based compensation costs we recognize in each operating expense category in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses was approximately $33,000 for each three month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Stock Option Activity A summary of our stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2018 is presented below: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2017 232,000 $ 21.56 2.52 $ 5,050,990 Grants 30,000 41.82 - - Exercised (10,000 ) 13.24 - - Forfeitures or expirations - - - - Outstanding at March 31, 2018 252,000 $ 24.30 3.29 $ 5,049,910 Exercisable at March 31, 2018 207,000 $ 20.80 2.04 $ 4,873,810 During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company received approximately $132,000 and $258,000, respectively, from stock options exercised by option holders. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the closing price of our common stock of $44.34 on March 29, 2018, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. We have approximately $648,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2018, which we expect to recognize over the next 3.45 years. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and autos are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. At each of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, property and equipment were fully depreciated. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we had no components of other comprehensive income other than net income itself. |
Provision for Income Taxes | Provision for Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences, using current tax rates, of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-25-2. Under this method, deferred income taxes, when required, are provided on the basis of the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the statutory rates enacted for future periods. Income Statement Classification of Interest and Penalties The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies On November 6, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the Landlord to extend the term of the lease to the Headquarters for an additional one year period (the “Extended Lease Agreement”). The one year extension will end on November 30, 2018. Pursuant to the Extended Lease Agreement, the base rent is $11,165 per month and the Company may cancel the lease with three months’ prior written notice to the Landlord at any time during the term. |
