(Note 1) This financial statement line item was presented as "Revenue from collaborations with a related party" in FY 2013 annual Kessan-Tanshin. The change was because Otsuka Pharmaceutical's percentage of ownership decreased due to our IPO, and it became less than 10% as of March 31, 2014; therefore, it was not considered as a related party per US GAAP.

1. Qualitative Information for the First Quarter of FY2014

(1) Qualitative Information on Operating Results

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Revenue from collaborations. Revenue from collaborations totaled approximately $10.5 million (JPY 1,080 million) in the year ended March 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $5.4 million (JPY 555 million), or 34.0%, as compared to the prior year. Although activity under our Emixustat Agreement associated with the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial increased during 2014, there was a net $1.4 million (JPY 144 million) decrease in current year revenue related to emixustat due to the receipt in the prior year period of a $5.0 million (JPY 514 million) milestone payment associated with the initiation of the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial. We incurred a $3.1 million (JPY 319 million) decrease in revenues under the Rebamipide Agreement due to termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013 as well as a $0.9 million (JPY 92 million) decrease in revenue related to the completion of the Phase 1/2 study for OPA-6566.
We also prepare financial information related to clinical programs for various purposes. Our clinical programs consist of the following categories: Proprietary, which includes emixustat (program under the Emixustat Agreement); and In-Licensed, which includes rebamipide (program under the terminated Rebamipide Agreement) and OPA-6566 (program under the Glaucoma Agreement).
The following table presents revenues for clinical programs (in thousands, except percentages):

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the majority of In-Licensed revenue was attributable to the Rebamipide Agreement.
Proprietary. Revenues from clinical programs under the Emixustat Agreement decreased by $1.4 million (JPY 144 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, or 11.6%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to the receipt of a milestone payment of $5.0 million (JPY 514 million) associated with the initiation of that trial in the prior year period.
In-Licensed. Revenues from In-Licensed clinical programs decreased by $4.1 million (JPY 421 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, or 99.8%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to a $3.1 million (JPY 319 million) decrease in revenues under the Rebamipide Agreement due to termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013. In September 2013, Otsuka terminated the Rebamipide Agreement for the reason that the primary end points were not met in the Phase 3 clinical trial. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, we expect that our revenue from In-Licensed clinical programs will be materially lower than 2013 levels as a result of the termination of this agreement.
Research and development expense. Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $8.0 million (JPY 823 million) , representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 million (JPY 20 million) or 1.9%, as compared to the prior year. The overall decrease in research and development expense was due to a decrease in expenses related to clinical programs under the Glaucoma Agreement due to the completion of the Phase 1/2 study for OPA-6566 which declined $0.7 million (JPY 72 million) compared to the prior year period, and a decrease of 2.1 million (JPY 210 million) compared to the prior year period due to the termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013. The decrease was partially offset by a $3.0 million (JPY 308 million) increase in expenses associated with emixustat due to the initiation and conduct of the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial. The expenses related to internal research decreased $0.4 million (JPY 41 million) due to our strategic restructuring.
In addition to the foregoing presentation, we also prepare financial information related to our clinical programs and internal research program for various purposes. Our clinical programs consist of the following categories: Proprietary, which includes emixustat (program under the Emixustat Agreement); In-Licensed, which includes rebamipide (program under the





recently terminated Rebamipide Agreement) and OPA-6566 (program under the Glaucoma Agreement); and Internal Research, which consists of costs and expenses associated with our discovery research activities related primarily to our VCM compounds.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the majority of In-Licensed expenses were attributable to rebamipide.
Proprietary. Research and development expense related to clinical programs under the Emixustat Agreement increased $3.0 million (JPY 308 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, or 63.8%, as compared to the prior year. The increase was due primarily to development activity associated with the initiation and conduct of the Phase 2b/3 study for emixustat.
In-Licensed. Research and development expense related to In-Licensed clinical programs decreased $2.8 million (JPY 288 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2014, or 99.2%, as compared to the prior year, due to the termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013. In September 2013, Otsuka terminated the Rebamipide Agreement for the reason that the primary end points were not met in the Phase 3 clinical trial. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, we expect that our expenses from In-Licensed clinical programs will be materially lower than 2013 levels as a result of the termination of this agreement.
Internal Research. Research and development expense under our discovery research activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $0.4 million (JPY 41 million) due to our strategic restructuring in January 2014.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $2.4 million (JPY 247 million) , representing an increase of approximately $0.2 million (JPY 20 million) or 10.7%, as compared to the prior year. The increase was due primarily to costs related to becoming a public company.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $0.2 million (JPY 20 million). Income tax expense was approximately $2.0 million (JPY 205 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This represented effective tax rates of 78% and 35% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and our effective tax rate in 2014 was due primarily to permanent differences in book and tax earnings for stock options, meals and entertainment, and other miscellaneous items. In 2013, there were no individual items representing a greater than 5% impact on effective tax rate.
Net income attributable to common shareholders. Please see Per Share Information in Notes on the Financial Statements.

(2) Qualitative Information on Financial Position

Prior to our IPO, we funded our operations primarily from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and contingently convertible debt and, since 2009, from cash generated from operations. Our need for cash has been limited due to Otsuka’s funding of development activities and our receipt of milestone payments from Otsuka. On February 13, 2014, upon the closing of our IPO, we issued and sold 9,200,000 shares of common stock at approximately $17.72 (JPY 1,823) per share and received net proceeds of $142.0 million (JPY 14,614 million) (after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs). As a result of the IPO, all preferred stock and contingently convertible debt converted to common stock.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $172.7 million (JPY 17,774





million) and $32.4 million (JPY 3,334 million), respectively. Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds, municipal bonds, and corporate debt securities. Short-term investments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were comprised of commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit. Investments with maturities between three months and one year at the date of purchase are classified as short-term investments. Amounts on deposit with third-party financial institutions may exceed the applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits, as applicable.
The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Operating activities used $7.1 million (JPY 730 million) and generated $11.3 million (JPY 1,162 million) of cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, cash outflow was primarily the result of increases in accounts receivable of $5.0 million (JPY 514 million) due to amounts earned but not yet paid, a $2.1 million (JPY 216 million) decrease in accrued compensation primarily related to payments of accrued bonuses, and decreases in accrued liabilities of $1.3 million (JPY 133 million), partially offset by an increase in account payable of $0.6 million (JPY 61 million). In 2013, cash inflow was the result of $3.7 million (JPY 380 million) of net income, $1.2 million (JPY 123 million) decrease in accounts receivable, $1.3 million (JPY 133 million) increase in deferred taxes and $4.7 million (JPY 483 million) increase in deferred revenue.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $85.8 million (JPY 8,830 million) and $2.7 million (JPY 277 million) , respectively. These changes were primarily the result of net purchases of marketable securities.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $147.7 million ( JPY 15,201 million) and $0.1 million (JPY 10 million), respectively. In 2014, cash inflow consisted of net proceeds from our initial public offering. In 2013, cash inflow consisted primarily of activity under our equity plan.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of product development, it is difficult to accurately estimate the cash needed to complete development of our product candidates. However, we expect these costs to continue to be funded by Otsuka pursuant to our development agreements.
We believe that cash from operations and our existing cash and investment balances will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our research and development activities, the timing and extent of our elections to co-promote product candidates under our collaboration agreements with Otsuka, and the timing of achievement of milestones under our collaboration agreements with Otsuka. Although we are not currently a party to any agreement or letter of intent regarding potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing.

(8) Notes on the Financial Statements
(Note 1) Accounting Principles, Procedures and Presentation of the Financial Statements

The company prepares the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principle in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP is codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying financial statements to present them in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
(Note 2) Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Segments
We operate in one segment, pharmaceutical product development. All of our significant assets are located in the United States. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all of our revenue was generated in the United States.

Additional Information - Initial Public Offering






On February 13, 2014, we completed our initial public offering ("IPO") whereby 9,200,000 shares of common stock were sold to the public at a price of $17.72 (JPY 1,823) per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $142.0 million (JPY 14,614 million) from the initial public offering ("IPO"), net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 10,813,867 shares of common stock and $12.0 million (JPY 1,235 million) of outstanding principal underlying a convertible note that we issued to SBI Holdings, Inc. in May 2006, automatically converted into 3,636,365 shares of common stock.


(Note 5) Difference between US GAAP and Japanese GAAP

The financial statements of Acucela Inc. presented in this report conform with US GAAP. Such principles vary from the accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”). Significant differences between Japanese GAAP and US GAAP are summarized below. These differences are not necessarily the only differences and other differences may exist:

US GAAP
Japanese GAAP
 
 
Revenue Recognition
In the United States, in accordance with the authoritative accounting guideline (which summarizes the views of certain of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")) publicized and amended by the SEC, revenue shall be recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition, another authoritative accounting guideline on revenue recognition has been added to arrangements in which multiple products or services are provided; the amendment has been applicable to the Company prospectively, as from November 1, 2010.

In the United States, in October 2009, the FASB amended the guideline on revenue recognition with regard to multi-element arrangements. The guideline has eliminated the residual method of allocation with regard to revenue recognition and requires that if neither vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) nor third-party evidence (TPE) is available, management's best estimate of the selling price of each element in the relevant arrangement be used.

Furthermore, in April 2010, the FASB publicized guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions; the guidance was early adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
In Japan, the authoritative guidance states that revenues are recognized upon sale of goods or provision of services in accordance with the principle of realization. The authoritative guidance in Japan is not as prescriptive as US GAAP.
 
 





Marketable Securities
At each reporting period, the Company determines whether a decline in the value of marketable securities and investments is temporary, based on the criteria that include the duration and extent of the market decline, the financial position and business outlook of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the marketable securities and investments for a sufficient period of time for anticipated recovery in fair value. If a decline in the value of marketable securities and investments is determined to be other than temporary, the difference between the book value and the fair value shall be recorded as an impairment charge in the statement of income.

Marketable Securities
For securities where there is a market price or rationally calculable value, the fair value after the significant drop should be used as the new book value, unless the fair value is expected to recover. The valuation differences are treated as loss for the accounting period.
 
 
Compensated Absences
Under ASC Topic 710, Compensation - General 10-25, a liability for compensation for future absences is recorded if certain criteria are met.
Compensated Absences
There is no requirement to record accruals for compensated absences under Japanese GAAP.

 
 
Stock Option
In the United States, stock-based compensation, including stock options, shall be accounted for in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance, which requires the recognition of cost of all stock-based payment transactions on the financial statements, requires entities to determine fair value as a measuring object and apply a measurement method based on fair value in accounting for stock-based payment transactions.

Stock-based compensation classified as equity shall be accounted for with adjustment made to paid-in surplus and shall not be stated separately on the balance sheet.
Stock Option
In Japan, in accordance with the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Accounting Standard - ASBJ Statement No. 8, Accounting Standard for Stock-based Payment, with regard to stock options granted on or after May 1, 2006, such compensation costs shall be recognized based on fair appraisal value thereof as of the grant date for the period from the grant date of the stock options to the date on which the stock options become exercisable, and the corresponding amount shall be recorded as a separate item in the "net assets section" of the balance sheet. With regard to stock options granted prior to May 1, 2006, no specified accounting standard exist and generally, no compensation cost is recognized. The stock acquisition right account would be reversed when the options are expired unused and reversal gain is recognized in earnings.
 
 
Research and Development
In the United States, in accordance with ASC 730 (previously, EITF 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities), nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities shall be deferred, and shall be amortized for the period during which goods or services are used or rendered, based on the evaluation of their recoverability.

Research and Development
In Japan, no such accounting treatment is required.
 
 





Fair Value
In the United States, ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, provides a framework for fair value measurements and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. With regard to the definition of fair value, while the guidance under Topic 820 still uses the concept of a price for exchange, it expressly provides that the price is a price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based value and is not an entity-specific value. It also establishes a multi-level hierarchy of fair values as a framework for fair value measurements and requires expanded disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Fair Value
