Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements and disclosures involve the use of judgments and estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies that we follow involve significant judgments and use estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Contract revenue is generally recognized either (i) on a proportional performance basis, for contracts specifying payment for services over a given period, or (ii) as services are performed under the agreement for contracts specifying payment on a full-time employee basis.

Revenue earned related to up-front product and technology license fees is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 issued by the SEC and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” issued by the FASB. Accordingly, amounts received under multiple-element arrangements requiring ongoing services or performance by us are recognized over the period of such services or performance.

Revenue from milestones is recognized when earned, as evidenced by written acknowledgement from the collaborator, provided that (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) our performance obligation after the milestone achievement will continue to be funded by the collaborator at a comparable level to before the milestone achievement. If both of these criteria are not met, the milestone payment is recognized over the remaining minimum period of our performance obligations under the arrangement. Royalties are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of various research and collaboration agreements.

Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, including leasehold improvements, property and equipment, and acquired technology rights, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. This requires us to estimate future cash flows related to these assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates, which may affect the carrying amount of assets and the actual amortization expense. As of September 30, 2006, we had long-lived assets with a net book value of $11.3 million.
