16.	REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

The Company adopted the standard beginning January 1, 2018 using the “modified retrospective” approach, meaning the standard was applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. Under this transition method, the Company elected to apply ASC Topic 606 only to contracts that are not complete at the initial adoption date.

The new standard impacts how the Company recognizes revenue on its commercial license and material supply agreements with customers. Previously, the Company recognized license fees on a straight-line basis or as received from the customer, and royalty revenue one quarter in arrears based on sales information received from its customers typically received after disclosing that quarter’s results. Under the new standard, total contract consideration is estimated and recognized over the contract term based on material units sold at its estimated per unit fee. Total contract consideration includes fixed amounts designated in contracts with customers as license fees as well as estimates of material fees and royalties to be earned.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in an increase in deferred revenue of $21.3 million offset by a reduction of retained earnings of $17.9 million, net of tax of $3.1 million, and unbilled receivables of $0.3 million as of January 1, 2018. The impact of the new standard to revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was a decrease of $24.7 million from the amount that would have been reported under the prior accounting standard. The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded 94% and 97% of its revenue from sales of materials and 6% and 3% from the providing of services through Adesis, respectively.

The rights and benefits to the Company’s OLED technology are conveyed to the customer through technology license agreements and material supply agreements. The Company believes that the licenses and materials sold under these combined agreements are not distinct from each other for financial reporting purposes and as such, are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Accordingly, total contract consideration, including material, license and royalty fees, is estimated and recognized over the contract term based on material units sold at the estimated per unit fee over the life of the contract.

Various estimates are relied upon to recognize revenue. The Company estimates total material units to be purchased by its customers over the contract term based on historical trends, industry estimates and its forecast process. Additionally, management estimates the total sales-based royalties based on the estimated net sales revenue of its customers over the contract term. Management is using the expected value method to estimate the material per unit fee.
