MNKD 2017 Annual Report

The current accounting guidance requires the Company to reliably estimate returns in order to recognize revenue upon shipment. While we can currently estimate returns within a range, it is not sufficiently precise to meet the current requirements. Accordingly, the Company defers recognition of revenue on Afrezza product deliveries to wholesalers until the right of return no longer exists, which occurs at the earliest of the time Afrezza is dispensed from pharmacies to patients or expiration of the right of return. For deliveries to wholesalers, the Company recognizes revenue based on estimated Afrezza patient prescriptions dispensed, a sell-through model. Upon adoption of the new guidance, the Company will move from its current sell-through model to a sell-to model for revenue related to commercial sales of Afrezza to wholesalers and will record revenue at the time title and risk of loss passes to its distributors (generally at delivery to the distributors) along with an estimate of potential returns as variable consideration. The Company also anticipates that its ability to estimate potential returns will improve with an additional three months of sales history that it will have obtained by the end of the first quarter of 2018. For sales of Afrezza to specialty pharmacies, the Company currently recognizes revenue at the time of shipment because specialty pharmacies generally purchase on demand and our estimated returns are minimal. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption for sales to specialty pharmacies. Additionally, the Company has historically entered into collaborative agreements with third parties under which periodic payments have been received. Revenue recognition for certain payments received have been deferred until the price is fixed and determinable. Further, revenue for certain payments to be received in the future has been prohibited from recognition until all contingencies have been resolved. The Company expects that some of these amounts will be considered variable consideration and may be able to be recognized earlier under the new guidance. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption for collaborative agreements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The update is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 84 2). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective on January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The new standard seeks to reduce diversity in practice related to the classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this standard are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in 95
