The sponsor reclassifies the contributed cash as restricted cash, recognizes R&D expense as the activities are performed, and records the Class A distribution as a dividend at the fair value of that stock. The Class A stock is presented as noncontrolling interest classified in equity but separate from the parent's equity, and exercise of the purchase option is accounted for like an acquisition of a noncontrolling interest.","concepts":["research and development arrangement","sponsor","spin-off of class a common stock","restricted cash","dividend measured at fair value","purchase

Newco will have no employees other than its chief executive officer and no facilities other than a nominal amount of office space. (For purposes of this Example, investment income on the available funds, the chief executive officer's salary, and office space rent are ignored.) In addition, Newco will contract with the Sponsor to perform all of Newco's research and development activities under the development contract at the Sponsor's cost plus 10 percent. Newco expects that, in paying for such activities, the available funds will be substantially exhausted within the first two years of its existence. For purposes of this Example, it is assumed that the Sponsor incurs $50 million in research and development costs for each year under the development contract.

sponsor how to account for a research and development arrangement in which the sponsor funds 100% of the R&D activities — typically by capitalizing a new entity (Newco) with cash and technology rights, spinning off Newco's Class A common stock to the sponsor's shareholders, and retaining a purchase option and nominal Class B shares. The sponsor reclassifies the contributed cash as restricted cash, recognizes R&D expense as the activities are performed, and records the Class A distribution as a dividend at the fair value of that stock.
