(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 was less than 10% as of June 30, 2014; therefore, it was not considered as a related party per US GAAP.

(1) Qualitative Information on Operating Results

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenue from collaborations. Revenue from collaborations totaled approximately $9.1 million (JPY 922 million) and $19.6 million (JPY 1,986 million) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $1.9 million (JPY 192 million) and $7.4 million (JPY 750 million), or 17.6% and 27.3%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. We incurred a $3.0 million (JPY 304 million) and a $6.1 million (JPY 618 million) decrease in revenue under the Rebamipide Agreement in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, due to termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013, as well as a $0.4 million (JPY 40 million) and $1.3 million (JPY 131 million) decrease in revenue related to the completion of the Phase 1/2 study for OPA-6566. These decreases were partially offset by increased activity under our Emixustat Agreement associated with the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial during 2014. Revenue under the Emixustat Agreement increased $1.2 million (JPY 121 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Although there was increased activity under the Emixustat Agreement, there was a net $0.4 million (JPY 40 million) decrease in current year-to-date revenue related to emixustat due to the receipt in the prior year six-month period of a $5.0 million (JPY 506 million) milestone payment associated with the initiation of the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial.
In addition to the foregoing presentation, 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 revenue for clinical programs (in thousands, except percentages):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the majority of In-Licensed revenue was attributable to the Rebamipide Agreement.
Proprietary. Revenue from clinical programs under the Emixustat Agreement increased by $1.4 million (JPY 141 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or 17.8%, as compared to the prior year, due to increased activity associated





with the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial during 2014. Revenues from clinical programs under the Emixustat Agreement remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year, since the receipt of a milestone payment of $5.0 million (JPY 506 million) associated with the initiation of the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in the prior year period was offset by increased activity under our Emixustat Agreement associated with the clinical trial in the current year period.
In-Licensed. Revenue from In-Licensed clinical programs decreased by $3.3 million (JPY 334 million) and $7.4 million (JPY 750 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, or 99.9% and 99.9%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was 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 and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $6.5 million (JPY 658 million) and $14.5 million (JPY 1,469 million), respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 17.1% and 9.4%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The overall decrease in research and development expense compared to the prior year period was due to a $1.0 million (JPY 101 million) decrease in expenses related to clinical programs under the Glaucoma Agreement compared to the prior year period due to the completion of the Phase 1/2 study for OPA-6566, and a decrease of $3.7 million (JPY 375 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 $3.9 million (JPY 395 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 $0.7 million (JPY 70 million) primarily 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 and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the majority of In-Licensed expenses were attributable to the Rebamipide Agreement.
Proprietary. Research and development expense related to clinical programs under the Emixustat Agreement increased $0.9 million (JPY 91 million) and $3.9 million (JPY 395 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, or 17.5% and 39.2%, respectively, 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 $1.9 million (JPY 192 million) and $4.7 million (JPY 476 million) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, or 100.0% and 99.5%, respectively, as compared to the prior year, due to the termination of the Rebamipide Agreement in September 2013.
Internal Research. Research and development expense under our discovery research activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $0.3 million (JPY 30 million) and $0.7 million (JPY 70 million) due to our strategic restructuring in January 2014.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $2.5 million (JPY 253 million) and $4.8 million (JPY 486 million), respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 23.8% and 10.1%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to $0.8 million (JPY 81 million) in prior year expense related to stock and related compensation granted to our CEO pursuant to his pre-IPO employment agreement, and to a lesser extent on our cost-saving efforts and restructuring.
Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $0.2 million (JPY 20 million) and $0.4 million (JPY 40 million), respectively. Income tax expense was approximately $0.0 million (JPY 0 million) and $2.0 million (JPY 202 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. This represented effective tax rates of 73% and 75% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and 31% and 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and our effective tax rates 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 the 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 1,796 ) per share and received net proceeds of $142.0 million (JPY 14,393 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $177.3 million (JPY 17,971 million) and $32.4 million (JPY 3,284 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were comprised of corporate debt securities, commercial paper, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Operating activities used $2.3 million (JPY 233 million) and generated $0.9 million (JPY 91 million) of cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, cash outflow was primarily the result of increases in accounts receivable of $1.6 million (JPY 162 million) due to timing of amounts earned but not yet paid, a $2.4 million (JPY 243 million) decrease in accrued compensation primarily related to payments of accrued bonuses, and decreases in accrued liabilities of $1.5 million (JPY 152 million), partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue from collaborations of $2.1 million (JPY 212 million). In 2013, cash inflow was the result of $3.7 million (JPY 375 million) of net income, $1.6 million (JPY 162 million) increase in accrued liabilities, and $1.3 million (JPY 131 million) decrease in deferred taxes, offset by a $6.1 million (JPY 618 million) increase in accounts receivable.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $126.4 million (JPY 12,811 million) and $6.9 million (JPY 699 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 was $147.7 million (JPY 14,970 million) and net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.5 million (JPY 152 million), respectively. In 2014, cash inflow consisted of net proceeds from our IPO. In 2013, the changes were primarily the result of deferred costs associated with our IPO.
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.

As noted in our press release dated May 9, 2014, based on the recommendation from the FDA, Acucela will not be pursuing a 12 month analysis of our Phase 2b/3 “SEATTLE” study. As a result, schedules of the clinical development activities, including the interim analysis, have been changed, resulting in lower revenue and expense for the first half of 2014, which had no impact on net income. The change of the schedule of Phase 2b/3 “SEATTLE” study-related activities will have no impact on net income or net income per share for 2014, since decrease in the total revenue is directly correlated to the same variance in the expenses as in the first half of 2014.
Potential impact on full-year revenue and expense for 2014 cannot be determined at this point. Therefore, we have not revised the 2014 full-year forecast. For more details, please refer to our press release dated August 12, 2014.

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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, all of our revenue was generated in the United States.

(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
In Japan, there is no comprehensive accounting standard for fair value measurements. In the respective accounting standards for financial instruments and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, fair value is defined as a value based on a market price or if no market price is available, a reasonably assessed value.





 
 
Subsequent Event Disclosure
The scope is events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with GAAP and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained.
Subsequent Event Disclosure
“Audit Treatment for Subsequent Events” defines subsequent events, which are within the scope of the financial statements audit, as events which occur after the balance sheet date and before the reporting date. Because it includes the definition, scope and treatment of subsequent events, it is used as a practical guide for accounting. In addition, it sets the rules for the events which occur after the reporting date and before the submission date of the annual security report.
