Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. Revenue Disclosure
(p) Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are generated primarily through research and development services provided to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The terms of these arrangements may include (i) the grant of intellectual property rights (IP licenses) to therapeutic drug candidates against specified targets, (ii) performing research and development services to optimize drug candidates, and (iii) the grant of options to obtain additional research and development services or licenses for additional targets, or to optimize product candidates, upon the payment of option fees. Research and development service revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Revenue generated from the grant of IP licenses is recognized when probable. The Company has not recognized revenue to the date of these financial statements.
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized under ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps:
| (i) | identify the promised goods or services in the contract; |
| (ii) | determine whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; |
| (iii) | measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; |
| (iv) | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and |
| (v) | recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
