Basis Of Presentation | Note 1 — Basis of Presentation | ||||||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SciClone” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. | |||||||
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||
The interim financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. | |||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. | |||||||
Customer Concentration | |||||||
In China, pharmaceutical products are imported and distributed through a tiered method of distribution. For the Company’s proprietary product ZADAXIN®, the Company manufactures its product using its US and European contract manufacturers, and it generates its product sales revenue through sales of ZADAXIN products to Sinopharm Holding Hong Kong Co. Ltd. (“Sinopharm”). Sinopharm and its affiliates act as an importer, and also as the top “tier” of the distribution system (“Tier 1”) in China. The Company’s ZADAXIN sales occur when the importer purchases product from the Company, without any right of return except for damaged product or quality control issues and passage of title and risk of loss are transferred to Sinopharm at the time of shipment. After the Company’s sale of ZADAXIN to the importer, Sinopharm clears products through China import customs, sells directly to large hospitals and holds additional product it has purchased in inventory for sale to the next tier in the distribution system. The second-tier distributors are responsible for the further sale and distribution of the products they purchase from the importer, either through sales of product directly to the retail level (hospitals and pharmacies), or to third-tier local or regional distributors who, in turn, sell products to hospitals and pharmacies. The Company’s other product sales revenues result from the sale of the Company’s in-licensed products to importing agents and distributors. | |||||||
Promotion services revenues result from fees received for exclusively promoting products for certain pharmaceutical partners. These importing agents, distributors and partners are the Company’s customers. | |||||||
Sinopharm contributed 91% and 94% of the Company’s total net revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which revenues related to the Company’s China segment. There were no other customers that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total net revenue in the periods presented. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015, approximately $30.4 million, or 89%, of the Company's accounts receivable was attributable to one customer, Sinopharm, in China. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. | |||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||
Receivable Reserve. The Company records a receivable reserve based on a specific review of its overdue invoices. The Company’s estimate for a reserve is determined after considering its existing contractual payment terms, payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances, the age of any outstanding receivables and its current customer relationships. Accounts receivable are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a receivable reserve of $1.5 million. The reserve includes $0.9 million from one customer that is more than one year past due. During 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, SciClone Pharmaceuticals International China Holding Ltd (“SPIL China”) executed an agreement with this customer providing for settlement of the $0.9 million remaining receivable balance to be paid in installments as follows: (i) $400,000 before May 31, 2015, and (ii) the remaining balance of $500,000 to be paid by December 31, 2015. The Company will continue to maintain a full reserve on the remaining outstanding accounts receivable balance from this customer until payments are received. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.5 million in fully reserved accounts receivable from another customer that were past due. The Company recognized the $0.5 million of bad debt expense in general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to uncertainty regarding the collectability of the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. | |||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||
Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue from selling manufactured ZADAXIN product at the time of delivery. Sales of ZADAXIN to Sinopharm and its affiliates are recognized at time of shipment when title to the product is transferred to them. The Company also earns product revenue from purchasing medical products from pharmaceutical companies and selling them directly to importers or distributors. The Company recognizes revenue related to these products based on the “sell-in” method, when the medical products have been delivered to the importers or distributors. Payments by the importing agents and distributors are not contingent upon sale to the end user by the importing agents or distributors. | |||||||
Promotion Services Revenue. The Company recognizes promotion services revenue after designated medical products are delivered to the distributors as specified in a promotion services contract, which marks the period when marketing and promotion services have been rendered and the revenue recognition criteria are met. | |||||||
Revenue Reserve. The Company maintains a revenue reserve for product returns based on estimates of the amount of product to be returned by its customers which may result from expired or damaged product on delivery or for price reductions on the related sales and is based on historical patterns, analysis of market demand and/or a percentage of sales based on industry trends, and management’s evaluation of specific factors that may increase the risk of product returns. Importing agents or distributors do not have contractual rights of return except under limited terms regarding product quality. However, the Company is expected to replace products that have expired or are deemed to be damaged or defective when delivered. The calculation of the revenue reserve requires estimates and involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment. As a result of the uncertainties involved in estimating the revenue reserve, there is a possibility that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s revenue reserves were $0 and $0.1 million, respectively. | |||||||
Inventories | |||||||
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include amounts related to materials, labor and overhead. The Company periodically reviews the inventory in order to identify excess and obsolete items, including pharmaceutical products approaching their expiration dates. If obsolete or excess items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record any write-downs related to inventory. | |||||||
Loans Receivable | |||||||
Loans receivable are due from a single third party (see Note 4). Loans are initially recorded, and continue to be carried, at unpaid principal balances under “other assets” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Carried balances are subsequently adjusted for payments of principal or adjustments to the allowance for loan losses to account for any impairment. Interest income is recognized over the term of the loans and is calculated using the simple-interest method, as the loans do not have associated premium or discount. If the loans were to experience impairment, interest income would not be recognized unless the likelihood of further loss was remote. | |||||||
Although the measurement basis is unpaid principal (as adjusted for subsequent payments or impairment), not fair value, the loans receivable would qualify as Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy (Note 2) due to the presence of significant unobservable inputs related to the counterparty, which is a private entity. | |||||||
Management considers impairment to exist when, based on current information or factors (such as payment history, value of collateral, and assessment of the counterparty’s current creditworthiness), it is probable that principal and interest payments will not be collected according to the contractual agreements. Management considers a loan payment delinquent when not received by the due date. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management concluded the loans receivable were not impaired, and there was no allowance for loan losses. | |||||||
Net Income Per Share | |||||||
Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes any dilutive impact from outstanding stock options and the employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. | |||||||
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations (in thousands, except per share amounts): | |||||||

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, outstanding stock options and awards for 478,098 and 3,592,835 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect from the assumed exercise of these options calculated under the treasury stock method would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, outstanding stock options for 50,000 and 62,500 shares, respectively, subject to performance conditions were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the performance criteria had not been met. | |||||||
New Accounting Standards Update | |||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2014-09”), which contains new accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers 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 and services. On April 1, 2015 the FASB voted in favor of proposing a one year delay of the effective date and to permit companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. Pending enactment of a delay in the effective date, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, with early application not permitted. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. | |||||||

Fair Value Measurements | Note 2 — Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of input are: | |||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||

Loans Receivable [Abstract] | |
Loans Receivable | Note 4 — Loans Receivable |
As part of the Company’s May 2013 license and supply agreement with Zensun (Shanghai) Science & Technology Co. Ltd (“Zensun”), the Company previously agreed to loan up to $12 million to Zensun. The entry into the license and supply agreement in the second quarter of 2013, pursuant to which the Company licensed the exclusive rights to promote, market, distribute, and sell NeucardinTM, a chronic heart failure product under development by Zensun (such rights licensed for the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau) is more fully described in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2013. | |
Pursuant to its agreement to loan funds, the Company loaned $4.75 million to Zensun in the second half of 2014. The extension of credit and funding to Zensun was accomplished through two of the Company's subsidiaries, SPIL China and SciClone Pharmaceuticals (China) Ltd. (“SciClone China”). | |
With respect to lender SPIL China, Zensun can request US-dollar denominated borrowings up to $11.75 million. As of March 31, 2015, borrowings totaling $4.5 million had been requested by Zensun and paid by SPIL China with $2.25 million lent in the third quarter of 2014 and $2.25 million lent in the fourth quarter of 2014. These borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% per annum payable annually in arrears at each interest payment date as defined in the agreement. These borrowings mature on September 26, 2017, with an option electable by the borrower to extend for two additional years provided certain conditions are met. All outstanding balances must be repaid by the maturity date, with prepayments permitted without penalty upon prior notice. | |
With respect to lender SciClone China, Zensun can request RMB-denominated borrowings for up to RMB 1,550,000 using an entrustment mechanism with a bank as an intermediary. In the third quarter of 2014, SciClone China entered into an entrusted loan agreement for RMB 1,550,000 (approximately US$250,000 as of March 31, 2015) with Zensun, using a major Chinese bank as the lending agent. SciClone China is the principal and ultimately bears the credit risk, not the bank. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% per annum and Zensun is subject to obligations of the borrower as specified in the loan agreements. The loan term is sixty-six months. All outstanding principal and interest balances must be repaid by the maturity date, with prepayments permitted without penalty upon prior notice. | |
The proceeds of the two separate but related loans are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes by Zensun. To secure the loans, Zensun pledged its entire equity interest in its subsidiary, Shanghai Dongxin Biochemical Technology Co. Ltd. (whose assets include real property) to SPIL China. | |
Management, on the basis of (i) a creditworthiness evaluation using recent Zensun financial information, (ii) consideration of the market value of the pledged security, and (iii) consideration of Zensun’s compliance with the terms of the loans and timely payment of interest, concluded there were no indications of loan impairment as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014; accordingly, there is no allowance for losses. | |
The two loans are included in “other assets” on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Interest income on the loans amounted to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and is included in interest and investment income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. | |
Please refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Event”, for further information concerning the lending of additional funds to Zensun subsequent to March 31, 2015. | |

Legal Matters | |
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and subject to government investigations, as noted in this section below. All legal proceedings and any government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, unfavorable rulings or other adverse events which could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial monetary damages or awards, injunctions or other remedies, and if any of these were to occur, the possibility exists for a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. The Company might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of its stockholders and its business, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. | |
On August 5, 2010, SciClone was contacted by the SEC and advised that the SEC has initiated a formal, non-public investigation of SciClone, and the SEC issued a subpoena to SciClone requesting a variety of documents and other information including, but not limited to, potential payments or transfers of anything of value to regulators and government-owned entities in China, bids or contracts with state or government-owned entities in China, any joint venture partner, intermediary or local agent of the Company in China, the Company's ethics and anti-corruption policies, training, and audits, and certain company financial and other disclosures. On August 6, 2010, the Company received a letter from the US Department of Justice (“DOJ”) indicating that the DOJ was investigating Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) issues in the pharmaceutical industry generally, and that the DOJ had information about the Company’s practices suggesting possible violations. The Company received a further subpoena from the SEC in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 on additional matters including, but not limited to, matters related to its acquisition of NovaMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (”NovaMed”) on April 18, 2011 and FCPA matters, and certain sales and marketing expenses. | |
In response to these matters, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) to oversee the Company’s response to the government inquiry. The Special Committee has undertaken independent investigations as to matters reflected in and arising from the SEC and DOJ investigations in order to evaluate whether any violation of the FCPA or other laws occurred. The Company will continue to cooperate fully with the SEC and DOJ in the conduct of their investigations. | |
The Company cannot predict what the outcome of those investigations will be, or the timing of any resolution. However, the Company previously determined that a payment of at least $2.0 million to the government in penalties, fines and/or other remedies is probable. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2.0 million of operating expense in its fourth quarter 2013 results of operations to reflect the Company’s estimate of a probable loss incurred related to potential penalties, fines and/or other remedies in the ongoing investigations with the SEC and DOJ. The Company has monitored developments in the investigations since that time and has not determined that any further adjustments to the estimated loss are both probable and reasonably estimable. Any actual fines or penalties that may be imposed, or other losses that may be realized related to the investigations, could materially differ and could be higher than the amount of the $2.0 million estimated loss and could materially impact the Company’s financial statements. The Company will re-assess the potential liability each quarter and may adjust its estimates accordingly in future periods if it determines that a different amount is both probable of being incurred and is reasonably estimable. | |
NovaMed was a party to a Distribution and Supply Agreement with MEDA Pharma GmbH & Co. KG (“MEDA”). Following the Company’s acquisition of NovaMed, MEDA claimed it had a right to terminate the agreement under a change of control provision. NovaMed does not believe that MEDA had a right of termination under the agreement. NovaMed filed an application for binding arbitration with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”) on July 26, 2012. On April 3, 2014, CIETAC issued the final Award of the Arbitral Tribunal. The Arbitral Tribunal found that MEDA did have a right to terminate the agreement upon a change of control, but that MEDA must make reasonable reimbursement to NovaMed before any products rights are returned to MEDA. The amount that must be paid includes $333,333 as “unjust enrichment” plus an amount for reasonable compensation for such services provided by NovaMed to MEDA. The amount of such payment for services was not determined by the Arbitral Tribunal, but was left to be determined by NovaMed. On April 30, 2014, NovaMed informed MEDA that its determination of reasonable compensation for its services was $3,314,629, including the $333,333 for unjust enrichment. MEDA made a counter offer and the parties were attempting to resolve the matter without an additional arbitration proceeding. In December 2014, NovaMed filed a “Request for Second Arbitration” with CIETAC in order to enforce its right to compensation. The arbitration case is pending with CIETAC and no hearing has taken place yet. The amount of any final payment to NovaMed remains uncertain, and as such the Company has not recognized it as a gain contingency. | |
Purchase Obligations | |
Under agreements with certain of the Company’s pharmaceutical partners, the Company is committed to certain annual minimum product purchases where the contract is subject to termination if the annual minimum order is not met. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any material unmet purchase obligations. | |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SciClone” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. | |||||||
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||
The interim financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. | |||||||
Use Of Estimates | Use of Estimates | ||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. | |||||||
Customer Concentration | Customer Concentration | ||||||
In China, pharmaceutical products are imported and distributed through a tiered method of distribution. For the Company’s proprietary product ZADAXIN®, the Company manufactures its product using its US and European contract manufacturers, and it generates its product sales revenue through sales of ZADAXIN products to Sinopharm Holding Hong Kong Co. Ltd. (“Sinopharm”). Sinopharm and its affiliates act as an importer, and also as the top “tier” of the distribution system (“Tier 1”) in China. The Company’s ZADAXIN sales occur when the importer purchases product from the Company, without any right of return except for damaged product or quality control issues and passage of title and risk of loss are transferred to Sinopharm at the time of shipment. After the Company’s sale of ZADAXIN to the importer, Sinopharm clears products through China import customs, sells directly to large hospitals and holds additional product it has purchased in inventory for sale to the next tier in the distribution system. The second-tier distributors are responsible for the further sale and distribution of the products they purchase from the importer, either through sales of product directly to the retail level (hospitals and pharmacies), or to third-tier local or regional distributors who, in turn, sell products to hospitals and pharmacies. The Company’s other product sales revenues result from the sale of the Company’s in-licensed products to importing agents and distributors. | |||||||
Promotion services revenues result from fees received for exclusively promoting products for certain pharmaceutical partners. These importing agents, distributors and partners are the Company’s customers. | |||||||
Sinopharm contributed 91% and 94% of the Company’s total net revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which revenues related to the Company’s China segment. There were no other customers that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total net revenue in the periods presented. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015, approximately $30.4 million, or 89%, of the Company's accounts receivable was attributable to one customer, Sinopharm, in China. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. | |||||||
Accounts Receivable Reserve | Accounts Receivable | ||||||
Receivable Reserve. The Company records a receivable reserve based on a specific review of its overdue invoices. The Company’s estimate for a reserve is determined after considering its existing contractual payment terms, payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances, the age of any outstanding receivables and its current customer relationships. Accounts receivable are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a receivable reserve of $1.5 million. The reserve includes $0.9 million from one customer that is more than one year past due. During 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, SciClone Pharmaceuticals International China Holding Ltd (“SPIL China”) executed an agreement with this customer providing for settlement of the $0.9 million remaining receivable balance to be paid in installments as follows: (i) $400,000 before May 31, 2015, and (ii) the remaining balance of $500,000 to be paid by December 31, 2015. The Company will continue to maintain a full reserve on the remaining outstanding accounts receivable balance from this customer until payments are received. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.5 million in fully reserved accounts receivable from another customer that were past due. The Company recognized the $0.5 million of bad debt expense in general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to uncertainty regarding the collectability of the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. | |||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | ||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||
Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue from selling manufactured ZADAXIN product at the time of delivery. Sales of ZADAXIN to Sinopharm and its affiliates are recognized at time of shipment when title to the product is transferred to them. The Company also earns product revenue from purchasing medical products from pharmaceutical companies and selling them directly to importers or distributors. The Company recognizes revenue related to these products based on the “sell-in” method, when the medical products have been delivered to the importers or distributors. Payments by the importing agents and distributors are not contingent upon sale to the end user by the importing agents or distributors. | |||||||
Promotion Services Revenue. The Company recognizes promotion services revenue after designated medical products are delivered to the distributors as specified in a promotion services contract, which marks the period when marketing and promotion services have been rendered and the revenue recognition criteria are met. | |||||||
Revenue Reserve. The Company maintains a revenue reserve for product returns based on estimates of the amount of product to be returned by its customers which may result from expired or damaged product on delivery or for price reductions on the related sales and is based on historical patterns, analysis of market demand and/or a percentage of sales based on industry trends, and management’s evaluation of specific factors that may increase the risk of product returns. Importing agents or distributors do not have contractual rights of return except under limited terms regarding product quality. However, the Company is expected to replace products that have expired or are deemed to be damaged or defective when delivered. The calculation of the revenue reserve requires estimates and involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment. As a result of the uncertainties involved in estimating the revenue reserve, there is a possibility that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. | |||||||
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s revenue reserves were $0 and $0.1 million, respectively. | |||||||
Inventories | Inventories | ||||||
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include amounts related to materials, labor and overhead. The Company periodically reviews the inventory in order to identify excess and obsolete items, including pharmaceutical products approaching their expiration dates. If obsolete or excess items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record any write-downs related to inventory. | |||||||
Loans Receivable | Loans Receivable | ||||||
Loans receivable are due from a single third party (see Note 4). Loans are initially recorded, and continue to be carried, at unpaid principal balances under “other assets” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Carried balances are subsequently adjusted for payments of principal or adjustments to the allowance for loan losses to account for any impairment. Interest income is recognized over the term of the loans and is calculated using the simple-interest method, as the loans do not have associated premium or discount. If the loans were to experience impairment, interest income would not be recognized unless the likelihood of further loss was remote. | |||||||
Although the measurement basis is unpaid principal (as adjusted for subsequent payments or impairment), not fair value, the loans receivable would qualify as Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy (Note 2) due to the presence of significant unobservable inputs related to the counterparty, which is a private entity. | |||||||
Management considers impairment to exist when, based on current information or factors (such as payment history, value of collateral, and assessment of the counterparty’s current creditworthiness), it is probable that principal and interest payments will not be collected according to the contractual agreements. Management considers a loan payment delinquent when not received by the due date. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management concluded the loans receivable were not impaired, and there was no allowance for loan losses. | |||||||
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share | ||||||
Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes any dilutive impact from outstanding stock options and the employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. | |||||||
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations (in thousands, except per share amounts): | |||||||

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, outstanding stock options and awards for 478,098 and 3,592,835 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect from the assumed exercise of these options calculated under the treasury stock method would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, outstanding stock options for 50,000 and 62,500 shares, respectively, subject to performance conditions were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the performance criteria had not been met. | |||||||
New Accounting Standards Update | New Accounting Standards Update | ||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2014-09”), which contains new accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers 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 and services. On April 1, 2015 the FASB voted in favor of proposing a one year delay of the effective date and to permit companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. Pending enactment of a delay in the effective date, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, with early application not permitted. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. | |||||||
