Revenue Recognition

Development Revenue

We earn revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with governmental agencies like BARDA which is outside of the scope of the new revenue recognition guidance. Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contracts and other within development revenues.  Government contract revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the reimbursement. The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expense in our statements of operations. We recognized $4.8 million and $5.8 million in development revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

On July 21, 2019, the Company received an order from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services / Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response / Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“HHS/ASPR/BARDA”) regarding Contract HHSO100201200008C dated September 27, 2012 (as amended, the “Agreement”) to suspend all work on the Agreement, including the RELIEF clinical trial, except for certain activities related to orderly close out of the trial and contract. This order was based on previous discussions between the Company and HHS/ASPR/BARDA concerning the best path forward for both parties in light of the difficulty of enrolling the RELIEF trial and the Company’s previously disclosed restructuring plan. Pursuant to the order, on or before January 17, 2020, the contract will be terminated by HHS/ASPR/BARDA.

In September 2019, the Company finalized the indirect cost rate under the BARDA Agreement for indirect costs incurred during the years 2012 through 2019, which resulted in approximately $4.6 million reimbursement revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $4.6 million was received in cash in October 2019.

Concentration of Significant Customers

After the Company sold its cell therapy business, BARDA accounted for 100% of our revenue from continuing operations which are recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and accounted for 100% of total outstanding accounts receivable presented in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
