Research and Development
Research and development expenses consists of costs incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop our product. This includes conducting studies and trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:
? forensic technology product testing and regulatory-related costs; ? expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our product testing; ? manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; ? employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation; and ? facility expenses dedicated to research and development.
We typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs by product or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product or development programs.
Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our product. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product through development. The successful development of product is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product.
We do not expect any of our products to be commercially available until the end
of the Company's second quarter ending
