Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.2019, as filed with the SEC on June 27, 2019. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 20182019 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented, with such adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of operations for interim periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avid Bioservices, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, as well as disclosures of commitments and contingencies in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Revenue Recognition

Restructuring

Restructuring charges consist of one-time termination benefits, including severance and other employee related costs related to a workforce reduction pursuant to a restructuring plan we implemented in August 2017 (fiscal year 2018). Under this restructuring plan, which we completed in October 2017, we incurred an aggregate of $1,588 in restructuring charges, of which $330 related to our discontinued research and development segment (Note 11) and $1,258 related to our contract manufacturing services segment.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should it be determined that we are unable to continue as a going concern.

At October 31, 2018, we had $32,694 in cash and cash equivalents. Our ability to fund our operations depends on the amount of cash on hand and our ability to generate sufficient revenue to cover our operations. We have expended substantial funds on our legacy research and development of pharmaceutical product candidates (discontinued operations) and our contract manufacturing business (continuing operations). As a result, we have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and although we have discontinued our research and development segment, we expect negative cash flows from operations to continue until we can generate sufficient revenue to generate positive cash flow from operations.

In the event we are unable to obtain sufficient business to support our operations beyond the next twelve months, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to raise additional capital in the equity markets to fund our obligations in future periods depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock. The market demand or liquidity of our common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, negative economic conditions, adverse market conditions, and adverse financial results. If we are unable to either raise sufficient capital in the equity markets or generate additional revenue, we may need to further restructure, or cease, our operations. In addition, even if we are able to raise additional capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us.

As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts related to deferred revenue and customer deposits have been reclassified to contract liabilities in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 and in our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation (Note 2). This reclassification had no effect on previously reported net loss.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue is recognized from Contracts with Customersservices provided under our customer contracts, which we have disaggregated into manufacturing and process development revenue streams.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Revenue from Contracts with CustomersManufacturing revenue(“ASC 606”), which, along with subsequent amendments issued after May 2014, replaced substantially all then relevant U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606, as amended, is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the contractual transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services utilizing a new five-step revenue recognition model, which steps include (i) identify the 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 revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

On May 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, as amended, to all contracts not completed asManufacturing revenue generally represents revenue from the manufacturing of May 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Results for the reporting period beginning after May 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for the prior period. The accounting policy for revenue recognition for periods prior to May 1, 2018 is described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.

The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606 resulted in a one-time adjustment of $2,739 to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The cumulative effect adjustment relates to the recognition of revenue and related costs for customer contracts that transfer goods or services over time. Under ASC 606, the timing of the recognition of contract manufacturing revenue and the related cost of contract manufacturing associated with goods or services provided to customers with no alternative use areproducts recognized over time utilizing an input method that compares the cost of cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimates for the entire cost of the performance obligation. By contrast, in the prior period, contract manufacturing revenue and the related costs were recognized upon completion of the performance obligation in accordance with accounting standards that were in effect in the prior period. Under these customer contracts the customer retains control of the product as it is being created or enhanced by our services and/or we are entitled to compensation for progress to date that includes an element of profit margin.

The following table summarizes the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC 606 on amounts previously reported in our consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2018:

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue from contract manufacturing services provided under our customer contracts, which we have disaggregated into the following revenue streams:

Manufacturing revenue

The manufacturing revenue stream represents revenue from the manufacturing of customer product(s) derived from mammalian cell culture covering clinical through commercial manufacturing runs. Under a manufacturing contract, a quantity of manufacturing runs are ordered and the product is manufactured according to the customer’s specifications and typically only one performance obligation is included. Each manufacturing run represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The product(s)products are manufactured exclusively for a specific customer and have no alternative use. The customer retains control of their product during the entire manufacturing process and can make changes to the process or specifications at their request. Under these agreements, we are entitled to consideration for progress to date that includes an element of profit margin. Revenue

Process development revenue

Process development revenue generally represents revenue from services associated with this streamthe custom development of a manufacturing process and analytical methods for a customer’s product. Process development revenue is recognized over time utilizing an input method that compares the cost of cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimates for the entire cost of the performance obligation.

(in thousands, except share and per share information)

Process development revenue

The process development revenue stream represents revenue from non-manufacturing related services associated with the custom development of a customer’s product. Under a process development contract, the customer owns the product details and process, which has no alternative use. These process development projects are customized to each customer to meet their specifications and typically only one performance obligation is included. Each process represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The customer also retains control of their product as the product is being created or enhanced by our services and can make changes to their process or specifications upon request. Revenue associated with this stream is recognized over time utilizing an input method that compares the cost of cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimates for the entire cost of the performance obligation.

 

The following table disaggregatessummarizes our contract manufacturing and process development revenue streams for the three and six months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 by revenue stream. Contract manufacturing revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2017 has not been adjusted in accordance with our modified retrospective adoption of ASC 606 and continues to be reported under the accounting standards that were in effect prior to our adoption of ASC 606 on May 1, 2018(in thousands):

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed trade receivables, contract assets (unbilled receivables), and contract liabilities (customer deposits and deferred revenue). Contract assets are recorded when our right to consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivablesaccounts receivable on the balance sheet when our rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities represent customer deposits and deferred revenue billed and/or received in advance of our fulfillment of performance obligations. Contract liabilities will convert to contract manufacturing revenue as we perform our obligations under the contract.

As a contract are not material. These costs are generally employee sales commissions,result of adopting ASC 842, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $23.3 million and $25.5 million, respectively, on May 1, 2019, which are expensed when incurredprimarily related to our facility operating leases (Note 3). The difference between the right-of-use assets and included in selling, general and administrative expense inlease liabilities is primarily attributed to the accompanying condensed consolidated statementselimination of operations and comprehensive loss.

Our operating leases with a term greater than one year are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2019. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate which represents an estimated rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow equivalent funds on a collateralized basis at the lease commencement date.

Our operating leases may include options to extend the lease which are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise a renewal option(s). Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

We elected the post-transition practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all existing leases. We also elected a policy to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 for short-term investments readily convertible to cash with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.leases.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials inventory and is valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method or net realizable value. We periodically review raw materials inventory for potential impairment and adjust inventory to its net realizable value based on the estimate of future use and reduce the carrying value of inventory as deemed necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from three to ten years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Construction-in-progress, which represents direct costs related to the construction of various equipment and leasehold improvements primarily associated with our manufacturing facilities, is not depreciated until the asset is completed and placed into service. No interest was incurred or capitalized as construction-in-progress as of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019.

Impairment

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with authoritative guidance for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances whichthat indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards granted under our equity compensation plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees in exchange for services is measured at the grant date, using a fair value based method, such as a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period of vesting. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as they occur. As of October 31, 2019, there were no outstanding stock-based awards with market or performance conditions.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss is equal to our net loss for all periods presented.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

·Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as assets or liabilities whose values are based on quoted market prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets.

·Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and significant to the overall fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities; therefore, requiring the company to develop its own valuation techniques and assumptions.

 

As of October 31, 20182019 and April 30, 2018,2019, we do not have any Level 2 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities and our cash equivalents, which are primarily invested in money market funds with one major commercial bank, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices for identical securities (Level 1 input). In addition, there were no transfers between any Levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended October 31, 20182019 and 2017.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock options, restricted stock rights and other stock-based awards granted under our equity compensation plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees in exchange for services is measured at the grant date, using a fair value based method, such as a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. In addition, the fair value of restricted stock rights is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period of vesting. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as they occur. As of October 31, 2018, there were no outstanding stock-based awards with market or performance conditions.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. As a result of our cumulative losses, management has concluded that a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets is appropriate.

 

The income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 resulted from the “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” rules under ASC 740:Income Taxes, which requires the allocation of an entity’s total annual income tax provision among continuing operations and, in our case, discontinued operations. Accordingly, a tax benefit was recorded in continuing operations with an offsetting tax expense recorded in discontinued operations (Note 11)7).

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The Tax Act includes a numberissued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of changesCredit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost net of an allowance for estimated credit losses such that the net receivable represents the present value of expected cash collection. In addition, this standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost reflecting an allowance for estimated credit losses expected to existing U.S. tax laws that impact us, most notably a reductionoccur over the life of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent for tax years, effective January 1, 2018. We performed a reviewassets. The estimate of credit losses must be based on all relevant information including historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the Tax Act for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, and based on the information available at that time, recorded certain provisional amounts related to the revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

In December 2017, the SEC issued interpretive guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. As discussed above, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, we recognized provisional tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which amounts were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, due to among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the Tax Act. The accounting for these provisions is expected to be complete when our 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in the first quarter of calendar year 2019.

Adoption of Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the FASB issuedamounts. ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-182016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2016-18 on May 1, 2018 and the cash and cash equivalents at the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been adjusted to include $1,150 of restricted cash for each of the periods presented.

We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, primarily surrounding Level 3 fair value measurements and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be our fiscal year 2021 beginning May 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and do not expect the adoption of this ASU did not2018-13 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We currently lease office, manufacturing and warehouse space in four buildings under three separate non-cancellable operating lease agreements. All of our leased facilities are located in close proximity in Tustin, California, have original lease terms ranging from 7 to 12 years, contain two multi-year renewal options, and scheduled rent increases of 3% on either an annual or biennial basis. With respect to multi-year renewal options, a multi-year renewal option was used in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability for two of our leases as we considered it reasonably certain that we would exercise such renewal options. In addition, two of our leases provide for periods of free rent, lessor improvements and tenant improvement allowances, of which, certain of these improvements have been classified as leasehold improvements and are being amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the remaining life of the lease. The operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities on our October 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheets primarily relate to these facility leases.

In September 2019, we entered into a lease amendment to terminate an operating lease for one of our non-manufacturing facilities that was primarily utilized for warehouse space. The lease termination was primarily driven by our efforts to reduce costs by leveraging available warehouse space in our other facilities, which in aggregate will save us approximately $1.3 over the next four years. In connection with the termination of this lease, we removed the corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset and liability balances from our balance sheet and recognized a loss of $0.4 million, which amount is included in loss on lease termination in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended October 31, 2019. Additionally, the lease termination released $0.3 million of restricted cash that was pledged as collateral under a letter of credit required by the terminated lease.

Shares of Common Stock Authorized and Reserved for Future Issuance

On October 4, 2018, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to decrease our authorized number of shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 4, 2018.

As of October 31, 2018, 56,063,488 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, our common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2018 excluded the following shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance:

·7,313,424 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under outstanding option grants and restricted stock rights and available for issuance under our stock incentive plans;

·1,231,699 shares of common stock reserved for and available for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and

·6,826,435 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series E Preferred Stock(1).

_____________

(1)The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share by the conversion price, currently $21.00 per share. If all of our outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted at the $21.00 per share conversion price, the holders of our Series E Preferred Stock would receive an aggregate of 1,961,619 shares of our common stock. However, we have reserved the maximum number of shares of our common stock that could be issued upon a change of control event assuming our shares of common stock are acquired for consideration of $5.985 per share or less. In this scenario, each outstanding share of our Series E Preferred Stock could be converted into 4.18 shares of our common stock.

Note 6 – Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing our net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested RSRs,RSUs, shares of common stock expected to be issued under our ESPP, warrants, and Series E Preferred Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing our net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of stock options, unvested RSRs,RSUs, shares of common stock expected to be issued under our ESPP, warrants, and Series E Preferred Stock outstanding during the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders represents our net loss plus Series E Preferred Stock accumulated dividends. Series E Preferred Stock accumulated dividends include dividends declared for the period (regardless of whether or not the dividends have been paid) and dividends accumulated for the period (regardless of whether or not the dividends have been declared).

 

The potential dilutive effect of stock options, unvested RSRs,RSUs, shares of common stock expected to be issued under our ESPP, and warrants outstanding during the period are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of our Series E Preferred Stock outstanding during the period was calculated using the if-converted method assuming the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock as of the earliest period reported or at the date of issuance, if later, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. However, because the impact of stock options, unvested RSRs,RSUs, shares of common stock expected to be issued under our ESPP, warrants, and Series E Preferred Stock are anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share amounts for the three and six months ended October 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

 

The calculation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 excludes the dilutive effect of the following weighted average outstanding stock options, unvested RSRsRSUs and shares of common stock expected to be issued under our ESPP as their impact is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss:loss (in thousands):

(“Oncologie”) pursuant to which we sold to Oncologie the majority of our research and development assets, which included the assignment of certain exclusive licenses related to our former phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting program, as well as certain other licenses and assets useful and/or necessary for the potential commercialization of bavituximab. 

Pursuant to the February 2018 Purchase Agreement, we received an aggregate of $8,000 from Oncologie, paid over three installments, of which $3,000 was received in March 2018 (first installment), $3,000 was received in June 2018 (second installment) and $2,000 was received in September 2018 (third installment). We are also eligible to receive up to an additional $95,000 in the event that Oncologie achieves certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones with respect to bavituximab. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties on net sales that are upward tiering into the mid-teens in the event that Oncologie commercializes and sells products utilizing bavituximab or the other transferred assets. As of October 31, 2018, no development, regulatory and commercialization milestones as defined in the February 2018 Purchase Agreement have been achieved by Oncologie. Oncologie is responsible for all future research, development and commercialization of bavituximab, including all related intellectual property costs and all other future liabilities and obligations arising out of the ownership of the transferred assets (i.e., we remain obligated for all liabilities associated with the research and development assets associated with the February 2018 Purchase Agreement incurred or arising prior to February 13, 2018). In addition, during May 2018, we entered into a separate services agreement with Oncologie to provide contract development and manufacturing services, at our commercial rates, in support of the research and development assets sold under the February 2018 Purchase Agreement.

_____________

(1)The gain on sale of research and development assets before income taxes was recorded in connection with the $1.0 million we received from Oncologie, Inc. (“Oncologie”) under the September2018 Asset Assignment and Purchase Agreement

On September 13, 2018, we entered into a separate Asset Assignment and Purchase Agreement (the “September 2018 Purchase Agreement”) with Oncologie pursuant to which we sold to Oncologie our r84 technology, which included the assignment of certain licenses, patents and other assets useful and/or necessary for the potential commercialization of the r84 technology.

 

Pursuant to the September 2018 Purchase Agreement, we received $1,000 from Oncologie, which amount was paid to us in October 2018. We are also eligible to receive up to an additional $21,000 in the event that Oncologie achieves certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones with respect to r84. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties on net sales ranging from the low to mid-single digits in the event that Oncologie commercializes and sells products utilizing the r84 technology. As of October 31, 2018, no development, regulatory and commercialization milestones as defined in the September 2018 Purchase Agreement have been achieved by Oncologie. Oncologie is responsible for all future research, development and commercialization of r84, including all related intellectual property costs and all other future liabilities and obligations arising out of the ownership of the transferred assets (i.e., we remain obligated for all liabilities associated with the research and development assets associated with the September 2018 Purchase Agreement incurred or arising prior to September 13, 2018).Note 8 – Subsequent Events

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the sale of our PS-targeting program and our r84 technology, the abandonment of our remaining research and development assets, and the strategic shift in our corporate direction to focus solely on our CDMO business, the operating results from our former research and development segment and the related assets and liabilities have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (Note 1). The results of operations from discontinued operations presented below include certain allocations that management believes fairly reflect the utilization of services provided to the former research and development segment. The allocations do not include amounts related to general corporate administrative expenses or interest expense. Therefore, the results of operations from the former research and development segment do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the former research and development segment operated as a stand-alone segment.

Overview

 

We are a dedicated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”)CDMO that provides a comprehensive range of services from process development to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”)CGMP commercial manufacturing focused on biopharmaceutical products derived from mammalian cell culture. With over 25 years of experience producing monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins in batch, fed-batch and perfusion modes, our services include cGMPCGMP clinical and commercial product manufacturing, purification, bulk packaging, stability testing and regulatory submissions and support. We also provide a variety of process development services, including cell line development and optimization, cell culture and feed optimization, analytical methods development and product characterization.

 

We have experience in performing process development and manufacturing of biologics since 1993 in our Franklin biomanufacturing facility (“Franklin Facility”), located at our headquarters in Tustin, California. In March 2016, we expanded our manufacturing capacity through the commissioning of our Myford biomanufacturing facility (“Myford Facility”), which more than doubled our manufacturing capacity. The 42,000 square foot facility, which is our second biomanufacturing facility, includes multiple single-use bioreactors up to the 2,000-liter manufacturing scale. The Myford Facility was designed to accommodate a fully disposable biomanufacturing process for products in clinical development to commercial. The Myford Facility is located adjacent to our Franklin Facility.Strategic Objectives

 

In the fall of 2017, we announced our intent to cease our research and development activities and to transition our business to a dedicated CDMO, which we completed at the beginning of calendar 2018. During our transition, weWe have established and beganare currently executing on the following near-term strategic objectives:

 

·Expand existing customer relationships and diversify our customer base by securing additional customers to support our future potential revenue growth; and

·Continue to invest in manufacturing facilities and infrastructure to maximize our facility utilization and support our customers’ development and clinical and commercial manufacturing requirements; and
·Broaden our sales force by hiring sales representatives to execute our business development and manufacturing requirements.initiatives in key markets.

Second Quarter Highlights

The following summarizes select highlights from our second quarter ended October 31, 2019:

·Announced the completion of the expansion of our process development capabilities and laboratory space within our CDMO campus in Orange County, California, which included the expansion of our total available process development laboratory space, upgrades to the infrastructure and equipment within our existing process development laboratories, and the implementation of new state-of-the-art technologies and equipment designed to facilitate efficient, high-throughput development of innovative upstream and downstream manufacturing processes;
·Appointed Richard (Rich) Richieri as our chief operations officer. Mr. Richieri is a senior executive with more than 25 years of biopharmaceutical industry manufacturing operations experience. In this role, Mr. Richieri will oversee our process development, clinical and commercial manufacturing, technical support and facilities functions and focus on streamlining operations, building internal efficiencies and strategic planning for future growth; and
·Expanded the scope of work with multiple existing customers to increase the number of manufacturing batches and/or scale of production.

We are also currently in the processfinal design stage for the construction of expanding and optimizing our process development capabilities and laboratory space, which includes expanding our total available process development laboratory space to more than 6,000 square feet, upgrading the infrastructure and equipmenta new pharmaceutical-grade water system within our existing process development laboratories,Myford facility. The installation of this system will supply water to multiple manufacturing systems, which we believe is a critical step in creating the manufacturing efficiencies required to increase output and implementing new state-of-the-art technologiesstrengthen our margins. We expect both the installation and equipment designedvalidation of this system to facilitate efficient, high-throughput development of innovative upstreamtake place in fiscal 2021.

Performance and downstream manufacturing processes.  We are strategically conducting this work in phases to avoid disruption to current customer programs.Financial Measures

 

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are contract manufacturing revenue,revenues, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income.

 

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

 

Contract Manufacturing RevenueRevenues

 

Contract manufacturing revenue isRevenues are derived from services provided under our customer contracts and are disaggregated into manufacturing and process development revenue streams. The manufacturing revenue stream generally represents revenue from the manufacturing of customer product(s)products derived from mammalian cell culture covering clinical through commercial manufacturing runs. The process development revenue stream generally represents revenue from non-manufacturing related services associated with the custom development of a manufacturing process and analytical methods for a customer’s product.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is equal to contract manufacturing revenuerevenues less cost of contract manufacturing.revenues. Cost of contract manufacturingrevenues reflects the direct cost of labor, overhead and material costs. Direct labor costs include personnel costs within the manufacturing, process development, quality assurance, quality control, validation, supply chain and facilities functions. Overhead costs include the rent, common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes, security, materials and supplies, software, small equipment and deprecation costs of all manufacturing and laboratory locations.

 

We regularly analyze the components of gross profit as well as gross profit as a percentage of contract manufacturing revenue. Specifically we look at the gross profit margins of our manufacturing revenue and process development revenues, and the effects of idle capacity, if any, on these revenue streams.

19

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are composed of corporate-level expenses including personnel and support costs of corporate functions such as executive management, legal, accounting, business development, legal, human resources, information technology, and other centralized services. SG&A expenses include corporate legal fees, audit and accounting fees, investor relation expenses, non-employee director fees, facility related expenses, and other expenses relating to our general management, administration, and business development activities. SG&A expenses are generally not directly proportional to revenues, but we expect such expenses to increase over time to support the needs of our growing company.

 

Results of Operations(in thousands)

 

On May 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts (Topic 606):Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of May 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, results for reporting periods beginning after May 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for details regarding the adoption of ASC 606.

The decline in revenue can primarily be attributed to fewer manufacturing runs completed in the current period compared to the prior period as a result of a decrease in the current manufacturing demand from our two largest customers. Revenue for the quarter was also impacted by our planned sequential shutdown of our Franklin and Myford manufacturing facilities, which halted manufacturing at each facility for several weeks in order to conduct both routine and non-routine maintenance and upgrades. The quarterly revenue decline was offset by a $1,215 favorable impact from the adoption of ASC 606.

In September 2019, we incurred restructuring chargesentered into a lease amendment to terminate an operating lease for one of $1,588 directly related to a restructuring plan we implemented in August 2017, pursuant to which we reduced our overall workforcenon-manufacturing facilities that was primarily utilized for warehouse space. The lease termination was primarily driven by 57 employees in orderour efforts to reduce operating costs and improve cost efficiencies while we pursued the license or sale of our research and development assets and focus our efforts on growing our CDMO business (as described in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements includedby leveraging available warehouse space in our Annual Report on Form 10-K forother facilities, which in aggregate will save us approximately $1.3 over the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018). The costs incurrednext four years. In connection with the termination of this lease, we removed the corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset and liability balances from our balance sheet and recognized a loss of approximately $0.4 million. Additionally, the lease termination released $0.3 million of restricted cash that was pledged as collateral under this restructuring plan, which was completed in October 2017, consisteda letter of one-time termination benefits, including severance, and other employee related costs. Ofcredit required by the total restructuring charges incurred, $1,258 was related to our contract manufacturing services segment and $330 was related to our discontinued research and development segment. The restructuring charges associated with our discontinued research and development segment are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended October 31, 2017.

Loss on Lease Termination

 

Restructuring Charges

DuringIn September 2019, we entered into a lease amendment to terminate an operating lease for one of our non-manufacturing facilities that was primarily utilized for warehouse space.The lease termination was primarily driven by our efforts to reduce costs by leveraging available warehouse space in our other facilities, which in aggregate will save us approximately $1.3 million over the six months ended October 31, 2017,next four years. In connection with the termination of this lease, we incurred restructuring chargesremoved the corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset and liability balances from our balance sheet and recognized a loss of $1,588 related toapproximately $0.4 million.Additionally, the lease termination released $0.3 million of restricted cash that was pledged as collateral under a restructuring plan we implemented in August 2017, as further described above. We did not incur any restructuring charges duringletter of credit required by the six months ended October 31, 2018.terminated lease.

Income Tax Benefit

 

In September 2018, we recognized a $1,000$1.0 million gain in discontinued operations, before taxes, for the sale of our r84 technology (as described in Note 117 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). In accordance with the “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” rules under ASC 740:Income Taxes, which requires the allocation of an entity’s total annual income tax provision among continuing operations and, in our case, discontinued operations for the six months ended October 31, 2018, we recorded a tax benefit in continuing operations of $173$0.2 million with an offsetting tax expense of $261 recorded$0.3 million in discontinued operations. The remaining deferred tax benefit of $88 will be$0.1 million was allocated proportionally to continuing operations throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.year 2019.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

As a result of the sale of our PS-targeting and r84 technologies in February 2018 and September 2018, respectively (as described in Note 1110 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements)Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019), the abandonment of our remaining research and development assets, and the strategic shift in our corporate direction to focus solely on our CDMO business, the operating results of our former research and development segment have been excluded from continuing operations and reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The gain of $1,000$1.0 million that was recorded in connection with the sale of our r84 technology in September 2018 is included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements andof operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018. There were no operating results from discontinued operations during the three and six months ended October 31, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 31, 2019, we had $34.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our ability to fund our operations is dependent on the amount of cash on hand and our ability to generate positive cash flow to sustain our current operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to generate positive cash flow from operations, we will experience negative cash flows from operations. We plan to fund our operations using our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from services provided under our customer contracts. As of October 31, 2019, we performed an analysis and concluded that our cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2019 together with cash expected to be generated from services provided under our customer contracts will be sufficient to support our operations for at least one year from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report.

In the event we are unable to secure sufficient additional manufacturing services projects to support our current operations, we may need to raise additional capital through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings in order to fund our future operations. There can be no assurance that, in the event we require additional financing, such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise additional capital in the equity markets is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock. The market demand or liquidity of our common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, our financial results and economic and market conditions. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as making capital expenditures or incurring additional debt. If we are unable to fund our continuing operations through these sources, we may need to further restructure, or cease, our operations.

Cash Flow Analysis

Significant components of the changes in cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

  Six Months Ended October 31, 
  2019  2018 
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $3,416  $(14,161)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities  (985)  5,554 
Net cash used in financing activities  (1,622)  (964)

23

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities represents our net loss, as adjusted to reconcile our net loss to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and net changes in the timing of cash flows as reflected by the changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $3.6 million, offset by adjustments to exclude noncash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation in an aggregate amount of $2.7 million, and include cash flows from the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $4.3 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and expenditures associated with working capital.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $3.4 million, as negatively adjusted to exclude a $1.0 million gain on the sale of certain research and development assets and $4.1 million related to the change in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and partially offset by positive adjustments to exclude noncash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation of $1.9 million and net cash outflows from the net change in certain other operating assets and liabilities of $7.6 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and expenditures associated with working capital.

Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Investing Activities

Our investing activities consist of capital expenditures for our manufacturing and development operations and with respect to the prior year period, proceeds from the sale of certain research and development assets associated with our discontinued research and development segment (as described in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019).

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended October 31, 2019 consisted of property and equipment acquisitions of $1.0 million primarily related to our manufacturing and development operations including costs associated with the expansion of our process development laboratory space, which was completed and placed in service during October 2019.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 consisted of proceeds of $6.0 million related to the sale of certain research and development assets associated with our discontinued research and development segment, offset by property and equipment acquisitions of $0.4 million.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Our financing activities primarily consist of cash dividends paid on our preferred stock and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our ESPP.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2019 was $1.6 million. This included $2.2 million in dividends paid on our preferred stock and $0.1 million of principal finance lease payments, offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our ESPP.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 was $1.0 million. This included $2.2 million in dividends paid on our preferred stock and $0.1 million of principal lease payments, offset by $1.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our ESPP.

24

Contractual Obligations

Except as set forth below, during the six months ended October 31, 2019, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments, as described in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019.

In September 2019, we entered into an amendment of one of our facility operating lease agreements (as described in Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), pursuant to which the term of the lease was shortened from August 2023 to September 2019, which effectively terminated the lease and thereby reduced our future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases by approximately $1.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial position and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. We review our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what we anticipate and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2018,2019, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed by us in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, except for our critical accounting policies and estimates on revenue recognition as a result of our adoption of ASC 606, as described in2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2, “SummarySummary of Significant Accounting Policies”Policies, in the accompanying notes to theour unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, including ASC 842, the new standard related to accounting for leases, which we adopted on May 1, 2019.

 

Backlog

 

26

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have expended substantial funds on our legacy research and developmentOur backlog represents, as of pharmaceutical product candidates (discontinued operations) and our contract manufacturing business (continuing operations).a point in time, future revenue from work not yet completed under signed contracts. As a result, we have historically experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.

During fiscal year 2018, we refocused our corporate strategy, whereby we transitioned our business to operate solely as a dedicated CDMO and discontinued our research and development segment (as described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). Now that we have commenced our first full fiscal year as a dedicated CDMO, our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the amount of cash on hand and our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations, primarily through securing new customers and diversifying our customer base, and thereby reducing our reliance on a small customer base, increasing revenues, improving gross margins and managing our operating expenses.

At October 31, 2018 we had $32,694 in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as of October 31, 2018,2019, our current backlog was approximately $36$52 million, (as further discussed in the “Backlog” section below).as compared to approximately $46 million as of April 30, 2019. While we anticipate the majority of our backlog will be recognized as revenue duringover the remainder of fiscal year 2019,next twelve (12) months, our backlog is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that a customer may experience delays in its program(s) or otherwise, which could result in the postponement of anticipated manufacturing services; the risk that a customer timely cancels its commitments prior to our initiation of manufacturing services, in which case we may be required to refund some or all of the amounts paid to us in advance under those canceled commitments; and the risk that we may not successfully execute on all customer projects, any of which could have a negative impact on our liquidity, reported backlog and future revenue. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, our cash on hand as of October 31, 2018, together with our projected cash receipts under our current backlog, may not be sufficient to fund our operations beyond one year after the date our financial statements are issued.

In the event we are unable to secure sufficient business to support our operations, we may need to raise additional capital in the future. Additional funding may include the financing or leasing of capital equipment or raising capital in the equity markets. Our ability to raise additional capital in the equity markets to fund our obligations in future periods depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock. The market demand or liquidity of our common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, negative economic conditions, adverse market conditions, and adverse financial results. If we are unable to either raise sufficient capital in the equity markets or generate additional revenue, we may need to further restructure, or cease, our operations. In addition, even if we are able to raise additional capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us.

As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Significant components of the changes in cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the same prior year period are as follows (in thousands):

Cash Used In Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities represents our net loss, as reported, adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities and net changes in the timing of cash flows as reflected by the changes in operating assets and liabilities, as described in the below table:

  Six Months Ended October 31, 
  2018  2017 
Net loss, as reported $(3,412) $(13,829)
Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities:        
Depreciation and amortization  1,325   1.300 
Stock-based compensation  622   794 
Gain on sale of research and development ass  (1,000)   
         
Net cash used in operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities $(2,465) $(11,735)
         
Net change in operating assets and liabilities from:        
Continuing operations $(7,562) $(6,851)
Discontinued operations  (4,134)  (882)
Net cash used in operating activities $(14,161) $(19,468)

27

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $5,307 to $14,161 for the six months ended October 31, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $19,468 for the six months ended October 31, 2017. This decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due to a decrease of $9,270 in net loss reported for the current six-month period after adjustments for non-cash expenses and gain on sale of research and development assets, as described in the above table, offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $711 and $3,252 from continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. The net change in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations was primarily due to decreases in inventories and contract liabilities (customer deposits and deferred revenue) associated with the application of ASC 606, which we adopted on May 1, 2018. The net change in operating assets and liabilities from discontinued operations was primarily due to decreases in accrued payroll and related costs and accrued clinical trial and related fees.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 was $5,554 and ($1,809), respectively.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 consisted of proceeds of $6,000 related to the sale of certain research and development assets associated with our discontinued research and development segment (as described in Note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements), offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $446.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2017 was directly related to the purchase of property and equipment.

Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 was ($964) and $2,205, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended October 31, 2018 consisted of $2,162 in dividends paid on our issued and outstanding Series E Preferred Stock and $74 in principal payments on a capital lease obligation, which amounts were offset by $1,158 in net proceeds from stock option exercises and $114 in net proceeds from the purchase of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended October 31, 2017 consisted of $4,193 in net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock under an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (as of July 31, 2017 we had raised the full amount of gross proceeds available to us under this At Market Issuance Sales Agreement), $216 in net proceeds from the purchase of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and $112 in net proceeds from stock option exercises, which amounts were offset by dividends paid on our issued and outstanding Series E Preferred Stock of $2,162 and principal payments on a capital lease obligation of $154.

Backlog

Our backlog represents, as of a point in time, future contract manufacturing revenue from work not yet completed under signed contracts. As of October 31, 2018, our backlog was approximately $36 million (ASC 606) as compared to approximately $33 million (ASC 605) as of October 31, 2017. While we anticipate the majority of our backlog will be recognized as revenue during the remainder of fiscal year 2019, our backlog is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that a customer may experience delays in its program(s) or otherwise, which could result in the postponement of anticipated manufacturing services; the risk that a customer timely cancels its commitments prior to our initiation of manufacturing services, in which case we may be required to refund some or all of the amounts paid to us in advance under those canceled commitments; and, the risk that we may not successfully execute on all customer projects, any of which could have a negative impact on our liquidity, reported backlog and future revenue.
