Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our strategy, future events, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about:

 

    our current and future exclusive channel collaborations (“ECCs”);

 

    developments concerning our collaborators;

 

    our ability to successfully enter new markets or develop additional products, whether with our collaborators or independently;

 

    competition from existing technologies and products or new technologies and products that may emerge;

 

    actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;

 

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our competitors’ or our collaborators’ operating results or changes in their respective growth rates;

 

    our cash position;

 

    market conditions in our industry;

 

    our ability, and the ability of our collaborators, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights and technologies;

 

    our ability, and the ability of our collaborators, to adapt to changes in laws or regulations and policies;

 

    the ability of our collaborators to secure any necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize any products developed under the ECCs;

 

    the rate and degree of market acceptance of any products developed by a collaborator under an ECC;

 

    our ability to retain and recruit key personnel;

 

    our expectations related to the use of proceeds from our initial public offering; and

 

    our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing.

Forward-looking statements may also concern our expectations relating to AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we may make.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Intrexon Corporation (the “Company” or “Intrexon”) is a Virginia corporation focused on forming collaborations to create biologically based products and processes using synthetic biology. At March 31, 2014, the Company owned approximately 60% of AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (“AquaBounty”), a biotechnology company focused on improving productivity in commercial aquaculture (Note 4), and 51% of Biological & Popular Culture, Inc. (“BioPop”) (Note 4). The Company has operations in California, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and Budapest, Hungary. There have been no commercialized products derived from the Company’s collaborations to date.

Effective July 26, 2013, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders approved a reverse stock split of 1-for-1.75 of the Company’s shares of common stock. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and warrants were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities. All share and per share data of the Company’s common stock, including shares of common stock underlying stock options and warrants, have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect the reverse stock split.

On August 13, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), whereby the Company sold 11,499,998 shares of common stock, inclusive of 1,499,999 shares of common stock sold by the Company pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the IPO, at a price of $16.00 per share. The shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on August 8, 2013. The aggregate proceeds from the IPO were approximately $168,300, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $12,900 and offering expenses paid by the Company of approximately $2,800 (of which $2,300 were capitalized). Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, including accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, converted into 79,705,130 shares of common stock. Additionally, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 200,000,000 and decrease the number of authorized shares of undesignated preferred stock to 25,000,000.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These interim consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014 and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or for any other future annual or interim period. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue through contractual agreements with collaborators (known as exclusive channel collaborations, “ECC” or “ECCs”) whereby the collaborators obtain exclusive access to the Company’s proprietary technologies for use in the research, development and commercialization of products and/or treatments in a contractually specified field of use. Generally, the terms of these collaborative agreements provide that the Company receives some or all of the following: (i) upfront payments upon

Table of Contents

consummation of the agreement, (ii) reimbursements for costs incurred by the Company for research and development and/or manufacturing efforts related to specific application provided for in the agreement, (iii) milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial activities, and (iv) royalties on sales of products arising from the collaboration.

The Company’s collaboration agreements typically contain multiple elements, or deliverables, including technology licenses, research and development services, and in certain cases manufacturing services. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”). In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2009-13, the Company identifies the deliverables within the agreements and evaluates which deliverables represent separate units of accounting. Analyzing the agreements to identify deliverables requires the use of judgment. A deliverable is considered a separate unit of accounting when the deliverable has value to the collaborative partner on a standalone basis based on the consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances for each agreement.

Consideration received is allocated at the inception of the agreement to all identified units of accounting based on their relative selling price. When available, the relative selling price for each deliverable is determined using vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the selling price or third-party evidence of the selling price, if VSOE does not exist. If neither VSOE nor third-party evidence of the selling price exists, the Company uses its best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”) for the deliverable. The amount of allocable consideration is limited to amounts that are fixed or determinable. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. The Company recognizes the revenue allocated to each unit of accounting as the Company delivers the related goods or services. If the Company determines that certain deliverables should be treated as a single unit of accounting, then the revenue is recognized using either a proportional performance or straight-line method, depending on whether the Company can reasonably estimate the level of effort required to complete its performance obligations under an arrangement and whether such performance obligations are provided on a best-efforts basis. As the Company cannot reasonably estimate its performance obligations related to its collaborators, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period it expects to complete its performance obligations.

The terms of the Company’s agreements may provide for milestone payments upon achievement of certain defined events. The Company applies ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method (“ASU 2010-17” or “Milestone Method”). Under the Milestone Method, the Company recognizes consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is substantive in its entirety. A milestone is considered substantive when it meets all of the following criteria:

 

  (1) The consideration is commensurate with either the entity’s performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the entity’s performance to achieve the milestone;

 

  (2) The consideration relates solely to past performance; and

 

  (3) The consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement.

In the event that a milestone is not considered substantive, the Company recognizes the milestone consideration as revenue using the same method applied to upfront payments.

Research and development services are a deliverable satisfied by the Company in accordance with the terms of the collaboration agreements and the Company considers these services to be inseparable from the license to the core technology; therefore, reimbursements of services performed are recognized as revenue. Because reimbursement (i) is contingent upon performance of the services by the Company, (ii) does not include a profit component, and (iii) does not relate to any future deliverable, the revenue is recognized during the period in which the related services are performed and collection of such amounts is reasonably assured. Payments received for manufacturing services will be recognized when the earnings process related to the manufactured materials has been completed. Royalties to be received under the agreements will be recognized as earned.

Research and Development

The Company considers that regulatory and other uncertainties inherent in the research and development of new products preclude it from capitalizing such costs. Research and development expenses include salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, and the costs of consultants, facilities, materials and supplies associated with research and development projects as well as various laboratory studies. Indirect research and development costs include depreciation, amortization and other indirect overhead expenses.

Table of Contents

The Company has research and development arrangements with third parties that include upfront and milestone payments. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $2,570 and $2,445, respectively, of which $906 and $957, respectively, had not yet been incurred. The commitments are generally cancellable by the Company at any time upon written notice.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash balances at a limited number of banks may periodically exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes that it mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions with high quality credit ratings. Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the performance of the issuer. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had cash equivalent investments in highly liquid money market accounts at major financial institutions of $93,372 and $43,733, respectively.

Short-term and Long-term Investments

Short-term and long-term investments include U.S. government debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The Company determines the appropriate classification as short-term or long-term at the time of purchase based on original maturities and management’s reasonable expectation of sales and redemption. The Company reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. The Company’s written investment policy requires investments to be explicitly rated by two of the three following rating services: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch and to have a minimum rating of A1, P1 and/or F-1, respectively, from those agencies. In addition, the investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.

Equity Securities

The Company holds equity securities received and/or purchased from certain collaborators. Other than investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company elected the fair value option to account for its equity securities held in these collaborators. These equity securities are recorded at fair value at each reporting date and are subject to market price volatility. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments are reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of these equity securities is subject to fluctuation in the future due to the volatility of the stock market, changes in general economic conditions and changes in the financial conditions of these collaborators. These equity securities are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet since the Company does not intend to sell these equity securities within one year. The Company has not sold any of these equity securities to date.

The Company records the fair value of securities received on the date the collaboration is consummated or the milestone is achieved using the closing, quoted price of the collaborator’s security on that date, assuming the transfer of consideration is considered perfunctory. If the transfer of the consideration is not considered perfunctory, the Company considers the specific facts and circumstances to determine the appropriate date on which to evaluate fair value. The Company also evaluates whether any discounts for trading restrictions or other basis for lack of marketability should be applied to the fair value of the securities at inception of the collaboration. In the event the Company concludes that a discount should be applied, the fair value of the securities is adjusted at inception of the collaboration and re-evaluated at each reporting period thereafter.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset and liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in its fair value measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2:    Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

Concentrations of Risk

Due to the Company’s mix of fixed and variable rate securities holdings, the Company’s investment portfolio is susceptible to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2014, gross unrealized losses on the Company’s investments were not material. From time to time, the Company may liquidate some or all of its investments to fund operational needs or other activities, such as capital expenditures or business acquisitions. Depending on which investments the Company liquidates to fund these activities, the Company could recognize a portion, or all, of the gross unrealized losses.

Equity Method Investments

Through March 15, 2013, the Company accounted for its investment in AquaBounty using the equity method of accounting since the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating activities of AquaBounty. The excess of the investment over the Company’s pro-rata share of AquaBounty’s net assets represented identifiable intangible assets and equity-method goodwill. On March 15, 2013, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in AquaBounty which resulted in the Company gaining control over AquaBounty, thereby requiring consolidation effective on that date (Note 4).

The Company has entered into three strategic joint ventures (Note 5). The Company accounts for its investments in these joint ventures using the equity method of accounting since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating activities of these entities.

The Company determined that it has significant influence over two of its collaborators, Ziopharm Oncology, Inc. (“Ziopharm”) and Oragenics, Inc. (“Oragenics”), as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, based on its ownership interests, representation on the board of directors of the collaborators and other qualitative factors. The Company accounts for its investments in Ziopharm and Oragenics using the fair value option. The fair value of the Company’s equity securities of Ziopharm was $75,068 and $71,134 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is included as equity securities in the respective consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s ownership percentage of Ziopharm is 16.3% and 16.4% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities held in Ziopharm was $3,934 and $(31,532) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Summarized unaudited financial information for Ziopharm for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

In September 2013, the Company increased its investment in Oragenics, upon which the Company concluded it had significant influence over the operations of Oragenics. The fair value of the Company’s equity securities of Oragenics was $22,871 and $22,161 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is included as equity securities in the respective consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s ownership interest in Oragenics was 24.5% and 24.6% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Unrealized appreciation in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities held in Oragenics was $710 and $2,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Summarized unaudited financial information for Oragenics for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Variable Interest Entities

The Company identifies entities that (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (2) in which the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest as variable interest entities (“VIE” or “VIEs”). The Company performs an initial and on-going evaluation of the entities with which the Company has variable interests to determine if any of these entities are a VIE. If an entity is identified as a VIE, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the Company has both (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) have the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If both of these criteria are satisfied, the Company is identified as the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company determined that one of its collaborators, Genopaver, LLC (“Genopaver”), was a VIE. The Company was not the primary beneficiary for this entity since it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. As of March 31, 2014, the Company determined that Intrexon Energy Partners was a VIE. The Company was not the primary beneficiary for this entity since it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions or betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are generally expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of these assets are as follows:

 

     Years

Building

   13

Furniture and fixtures

   7

Lab equipment

   2–7

Computer hardware

   5–7

Software

   3–5

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the applicable lease term, generally one to four years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized (Notes 3 and 10). Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.

If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed.

The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill in the fourth quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs prior to the annual impairment review.

Table of Contents

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of patents and related technologies acquired as a result of mergers and acquisitions (Note 3). These intangible assets are subject to amortization and were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and are stated net of accumulated amortization. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of in-process research and development acquired in a step acquisition (Note 4) and was recorded at fair value at the date of the step acquisition.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, which requires the amortization of long-lived intangible assets to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be realized. The intangible assets are amortized over their remaining estimated useful lives, ranging from seven to fourteen years for the patents and related technologies.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including in-process research and development, are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of their fair value to carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test. The Company monitors the progression of its in-process research and development, as the likelihood of success is contingent upon commercial development or regulatory approval.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated from their respective functional currencies into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with resulting foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Revenue and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to both differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company identifies any uncertain income tax positions and recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense. Penalties, if any, are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, preferred stock, stock options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, using the treasury-stock method.

Segment Information

The Company has determined that it operates as one segment. The Company uses synthetic biology for the creation of distinct products developed in collaboration with third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all of the Company’s revenues are derived in the United States of America. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s assets are located in the United States of America. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has $1,616 of property and equipment in Hungary.

Reclassifications

Certain insignificant reclassifications have been made to the prior interim period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current interim period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Mergers and Acquisitions

Medistem Acquisition

On March 6, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock and securities convertible into common stock of California-based Medistem, Inc. (“Medistem”), a pioneer in the development of Endometrial Regenerative Cells (“ERCs”), for a combination of cash and Company common stock. The acquisition allows the Company to employ its synthetic biology platforms to engineer a diverse array of cell-based therapeutic candidates using Medistem’s multipotent ERCs. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Medistem equity holders were entitled to receive 714,144 shares of the Company’s common stock and $4,920 in cash in exchange for the outstanding Medistem common stock and securities convertible into common stock. Additionally, Medistem had issued the Company two promissory notes in the amount of $707, including accrued interest, which was settled with the closing of the merger. The results of Medistem’s operations subsequent to March 6, 2014 have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $24,995. The acquisition date fair value of each class of consideration transferred was as follows:

 

Cash

Table of Contents

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are considered preliminary and is subject to revision when the identification and valuation of intangible assets is finalized upon receipt of the final valuation report from a third party valuation expert. The Company expects substantially all of the excess purchase price over net liabilities assumed to be allocated to goodwill due to buyer-specific synergies between the Company’s and Medistem’s technologies present and, as such, has initially included the excess as goodwill in the table above. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred $661 of acquisition related costs, of which $291 is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The results of operations of Medistem are included in the consolidated statement of operations beginning on the day after the acquisition date. The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is presented as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2013:

4. Consolidated Majority-Owned Subsidiaries

AquaBounty

On November 16, 2012, the Company acquired 48,631,444 shares of AquaBounty common stock, representing 47.56% of the then outstanding shares of AquaBounty, for $6,000 through a definitive purchase agreement with an existing AquaBounty shareholder and its affiliate. On November 29, 2012, the Company executed a promissory note purchase agreement (“promissory note”) with AquaBounty. The promissory note allowed for the Company to loan up to $500 to AquaBounty. Draws on the promissory note by AquaBounty accrued annual interest of 3% and matured no later than May 28, 2013. Between December 2012 and February 2013, AquaBounty drew $500 on the promissory note. On March 15, 2013, AquaBounty repaid the $500 promissory note plus accrued interest.

On March 15, 2013, the Company acquired 18,714,814 shares of AquaBounty for $4,907 in a private subscription offering, thereby increasing the Company’s ownership in AquaBounty to 53.82%, resulting in the Company consolidating AquaBounty pursuant to the step acquisition guidance in ASC 805. The Company recognized a gain of $7,415 to account for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the previously held 47.56% equity interest. The fair value of the consideration transferred included:

 

Consideration paid

   $ 4,907   

Fair value of noncontrolling interest

     15,153   

Fair value of the Company’s investment in affiliate held before the business combination

     12,751   
  

 

 

 

Fair value of the consideration transferred

   $ 32,811   
  

 

 

 

The Company used the private subscription price to measure fair value of the Company’s previously held investment and noncontrolling interest. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is shown in the table below along with subsequent adjustments during the measurement period to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The adjustments were due to the completed valuation of intangible assets and long-term debt.

The fair value of acquired intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, a variation of the income approach that estimates the value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development until regulatory approval is obtained, at which point the intangible assets will be accounted for as definite lived intangible assets and amortized over the expected useful life of fifteen years. The goodwill represents future revenue opportunities and the potential for expansion of AquaBounty products and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of AquaBounty are included in the consolidated statement of operations beginning on the acquisition date. The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is presented as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2012:

6. Collaboration Revenue

The Company’s collaborations provide for multiple deliverables to be delivered by the Company and typically include a license to the Company’s technology platforms, participation in collaboration committees, performance of certain research and development services and may include obligations for certain manufacturing services. The Company groups these deliverables into two units of accounting based on the nature of the deliverables and the separation criteria. The first deliverable (“Unit of Accounting 1”) includes the license to the Company’s technology platform, the Company’s participation on the collaboration committees and any research and development services associated with its technology platforms. The deliverables for Unit of Accounting 1 are combined because they cannot be individually separated. The second deliverable (“Unit of Accounting 2”) includes manufacturing services to be provided for any Company materials in an approved product. These services have standalone value and are contingent due to uncertainties on whether an approved product will ever be developed thereby requiring manufacture by the Company at that time. As VSOE and third party evidence of selling price is not available or practical, the BESP for each unit of accounting is determined using a historical cost approach due to the early stage of development of the Company’s technology. In establishing BESP for Unit of Accounting 1, the Company uses the accumulated costs incurred as of the collaboration by the Company on its technology platform licensed to the collaborator to approximate the cost to recreate the deliverables included in this unit of accounting. All upfront consideration is allocated to Unit of Accounting 1. Unit of Accounting 2 is determined to be a contingent deliverable at the inception of the collaboration due to the uncertainties surrounding whether an approved product will ever be developed and require manufacturing by the Company. The upfront consideration allocated to Unit of Accounting 1 is recognized over the expected life of the Company’s technology platform using a straight-line approach.

The Company recognizes the reimbursement payments received for research and development services in the period when the services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. At the inception of each collaboration, the Company determines whether any milestone payments are substantive and can be recognized when earned in accordance with ASU 2010-17. The milestone payments are typically not considered substantive. Royalties related to product sales will be recognized when earned since payments relate directly to products that have been fully developed and for which the Company has satisfied all of its obligations.

Ziopharm Collaboration

Effective January 6, 2011, the Company entered into a worldwide ECC with Ziopharm. Pursuant to the ECC, Ziopharm received a license to the Company’s technology platform within the field of oncology as defined more specifically in the agreement. Upon execution of the ECC, the Company received 3,636,926 shares of Ziopharm’s common stock valued at $17,457 as upfront consideration. In addition to the deliverables discussed above, the Company transferred two clinical product candidates to Ziopharm that resulted in a separate unit of accounting for which $1,115 of the upfront consideration was allocated and recognized as collaboration revenue in 2011. The remaining $16,342 of upfront consideration was allocated to Unit of Accounting 1 discussed above. The Company is entitled to additional shares of common stock representing the lesser of (i) the original shares received or (ii) the number of shares representing 7.495% of Ziopharm’s outstanding shares at the date of the dosing of the first patient in a Phase II clinical trial of a product candidate created, produced or developed by Ziopharm using the Company’s technology (“Ziopharm Milestone”). On October 24, 2012, the Ziopharm Milestone was achieved and the Company received 3,636,926 shares of Ziopharm’s common stock valued at $18,330 as milestone consideration. Since the Ziopharm Milestone was not substantive, the Company allocated the Ziopharm Milestone to the applicable units of accounting and is being recognized in a manner similar to these units of accounting. The Company receives reimbursement payments for research and development services provided and manufacturing services for Company materials provided to Ziopharm during the ECC. Subject to certain expense allocations, Ziopharm will pay the Company 50% of the quarterly net profits derived from the sale of products developed from the ECC. Ziopharm is responsible for conducting preclinical and clinical development of product candidates, as well as for other aspects of commercialization or manufacturing of product candidates. The term of the ECC commenced on January 6, 2011 and continues until terminated pursuant to the ECC agreement. The ECC may be terminated by either party in the event of certain material breaches defined in the agreement and may be terminated voluntarily by Ziopharm upon 90 days written notice to the Company provided that no voluntary termination by Ziopharm can be made during the first two years of the ECC.

For more information on our method for determining the fair value of our assets, see Note 2 – “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.

The estimated fair value of available-for-sale investments classified by their contractual maturities as of March 31, 2014 was as follows:

 

Due within one year

   $ 112,755   

After one year through two years

     40,212   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 152,967   
  

 

 

 

Changes in market interest rates and bond yields cause certain investments to fall below their cost basis, resulting in unrealized losses on investments. The unrealized losses of the Company’s investments were primarily a result of unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these investments and have been in a loss position for less than 12 months.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. When evaluating its investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security and whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its cost basis.

8. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, other accrued liabilities, and related party payables approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Table of Contents

Financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis were not significant at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 1 assets in the tables above is based on observable market data as these equity securities are publicly-traded. The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 2 short-term and long-term investments in the tables above is based on professional pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quote prices in active markets. The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 2 equity securities in the tables above is based on the quoted market price of the publicly-traded security, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

11. Income Taxes

Tax provisions for interim periods are calculated using an estimate of actual taxable income or loss for the respective period, rather than estimating the Company’s annual effective income tax rate, as the Company is currently unable to reliably estimate its income for the full year. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had taxable income of approximately $15,300, which, after offset by available loss carryforwards, resulted in $306 of current tax expense due to the corporate alternative minimum tax. The associated deferred tax asset is offset by a valuation allowance due to the Company’s history of net losses combined with an inability to confirm recovery of the tax benefits of the Company’s losses and other net deferred tax assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, there is no income tax benefit recognized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to the Company’s history of net losses incurred from inception, no deferred income tax benefit has been recorded and the corresponding deferred tax assets have been fully reserved as the Company cannot sufficiently be assured that these deferred tax assets will be realized.

At March 31, 2014, the Company has loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $235,400 available to offset future taxable income and federal and state research and development tax credits of approximately $7,000, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382. These carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022. Of these loss carryforwards, approximately $4,300 relate to benefits from stock compensation deductions that will be recorded as a component of paid-in capital when realized.

12. Shareholders’ Equity

On March 26, 2014 and concurrent with the formation of Intrexon Energy Partners, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with each of the Investors in Intrexon Energy Partners for the private placement of 972,004 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $25.72 for gross proceeds of $25,000. Each Investor purchased an amount proportionate to its investment in Intrexon Energy Partners, including 243,001 shares, or $6,250, purchased by an affiliate of Third Security (Note 15).

13. Stock Option Plans

Intrexon Stock Option Plan

The Company records the fair value of stock options issued to employees and non-employees as of the grant date as stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees is recognized over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period. Stock-based compensation cost that has been included in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses amounted to $327 and $3,370, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $152 and $255, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On April 18, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) for employees and nonemployees pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant share based awards to officers, key employees and nonemployees. During 2011, the 2008 Plan was amended to increase the number of authorized awards under the 2008 plan from 2,857,142 to 5,714,285. Upon the effectiveness of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), no new awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan. As of March 31, 2014, there are 2,352,387 stock options outstanding under the 2008 Plan.

On July 26, 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Plan for employees and nonemployees pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant share based awards, including stock options and shares of common stock, to employees, officers, consultants, advisors and nonemployee directors. The 2013 Plan became effective upon the closing of the IPO and 7,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, there were 6,197,500 stock options outstanding under the 2013 Plan, and there were 787,085 remaining shares available for the Company to grant under the 2013 Plan. In March 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved, subject to shareholder vote at the Company’s annual meeting in June 2014, an increase of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award exercises.

AquaBounty Stock Option Plan

The AquaBounty 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “AquaBounty Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options to employees of AquaBounty and non-qualified stock options and awards of restricted and direct stock purchases to its directors, officers, employees and consultants of AquaBounty. Unless otherwise indicated, options issued to employees, directors and non-employees are vested over one to three years and are exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of issuance. As of March 31, 2014, there were 7,359,000 options outstanding under the AquaBounty Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 per share of which 5,992,000 were exercisable. Stock-based compensation cost that has been included in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses amounted to $21 and $56, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Stock-based compensation cost that has been included in general and administrative expenses amounted to $(20) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases. The equipment leases are renewable at the option of the Company.

Rent expense, including other facility expenses, was $1,362 and $1,273 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company maintains subleases for certain of its facilities. Rental income under sublease agreements was $91 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Future rental income is estimated to be $337 for 2014, $281 for 2015, $132 for 2016, and $11 for 2017.

Long Term Debt

In January 2009, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (“ACOA”), a Canadian government agency, awarded AquaBounty a grant to provide funding of a research and development project. The total amount available under the award is $2,685, which AquaBounty can claim over a five year period. All amounts claimed by AquaBounty must be repaid in the form of a 10% royalty on any products commercialized out of this research and development project until fully paid. Because the timing of commercialization is subject to regulatory approval, the timing of repayment is uncertain. As of the acquisition date, AquaBounty had claimed $1,952 of the available funds and this amount was recorded at its acquisition date fair value of $1,107 (Note 4). The Company accretes the difference of $845 between the face value of amounts drawn and the acquisition date fair value over the expected period of repayment. Since the acquisition date and through March 31, 2014, AquaBounty has made subsequent claims of $648 resulting in total long-term debt of $1,784 as of March 31, 2014.

In November 1999, Technology Partnership Canada (“TPC”), a Canadian government agency, agreed to provide AquaBounty funding up to $2,680, to support AquaBounty’s research and development. This amount is repayable to TPC in the form of a 5.2% royalty on revenues generated from AquaBounty’s technology through June 30, 2014. Because no amounts are likely to be required to be repaid prior to June 30, 2014, no amounts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as March 31, 2014.

Contingencies

The Company may become subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

15. Related Party Transactions

Third Security and Affiliates

The Company reimburses Third Security for certain documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the Company’s behalf. The total amount of expenses reimbursed by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $24 and $81, respectively.

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into a worldwide exclusive licensing agreement with Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (“Halozyme”) for the use of Halozyme’s proprietary enzyme in one of the Company’s targeted therapeutics. The Company and Halozyme are related parties through common ownership by affiliates of Third Security. The Company’s CEO also serves on Halozyme’s board of directors. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid a license fee of $9,000 upon execution of the agreement, which is recorded in research and development expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company is required to pay an annual exclusivity fee of $1,000 commencing June 6, 2012 and on each anniversary of the effective date of the agreement thereafter until a certain development event occurs. If the Company successfully develops a product candidate using the license in the exclusive field of use and achieves an established sales target, the Company could pay up to $54,000 in milestone payments. The Company is obligated to pay tiered royalties on net sales of the approved product. The Company may terminate this agreement in whole or on a product basis at any time upon 30 days written notice to Halozyme. As permitted by the agreement, the Company provided notice of termination on April 24, 2014 and no future payments will be required.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof.

Overview

We believe Intrexon is a leader in the field of synthetic biology, an emerging and rapidly evolving discipline that applies engineering principles to biological systems. Using our suite of proprietary and complementary technologies, we design, build and regulate gene programs, which are DNA sequences that consist of key genetic components. A single gene program or a complex, multi-genic program are fabricated and stored within a DNA vector. Vectors are segments of DNA used as a vehicle to transmit genetic information. DNA vectors can, in turn, be introduced into cells in order to generate a simple or complex cellular system, which are the basic and complex cellular activities that take place within a cell and the interaction of those systems in the greater cellular environment. It is these genetically modified cell systems that can be used to produce proteins, produce small molecules, or serve as cell-based products, which enable the development of new and improved products and manufacturing processes across a variety of end markets, including health, food, energy, environment, and consumer. Intrexon’s synthetic biology capabilities include the ability to precisely control the amount, location and modification of biological molecules to control the function and output of living cells and optimize for desired results at an industrial scale.

We have devised our business model to bring many different commercial products to market through the formation of exclusive channel collaborations, or ECCs, with collaborators that have expertise within specific industry segments. In our ECCs, we provide expertise in the engineering, creation and modification of gene programs and cellular systems, and our collaborators are responsible for providing market and product development expertise, as well as regulatory, sales and marketing capabilities. Generally, our collaborators compensate us through payment of technology access fees, royalties, milestones and reimbursement of certain costs. This business model allows us to leverage our capabilities and capital across a broader landscape of product opportunities and end markets than we would be capable of addressing on our own.

In certain strategic circumstances, we may enter into a joint venture with an ECC collaborator. In that event, we will enter into an ECC with a joint venture entity and may contribute access to our technology, cash or both into the joint venture which we will jointly control with our ECC collaborator. Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, we may be required to contribute additional capital to the joint venture, and we may be able to receive a higher financial return than we would normally receive from an ECC to the extent that we and our ECC collaborator are successful in developing one or more products. We recently executed the first three such joint venture agreements: S & I Ophthalmic, LLC, or S & I Ophthalmic, which is a joint venture with a subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., or Sun Pharmaceutical Subsidiary, an international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on chronic diseases, OvaXon, LLC, or OvaXon, which is a joint venture with OvaScience, Inc., or OvaScience, a life sciences company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of new treatments for infertility and Intrexon Energy Partners, LLC, or Intrexon Energy Partners, a joint venture with a select group of external investors, to optimize and scale-up our gas-to-liquid bioconversion platform for the production of certain fuels and lubricants. Alternatively, where a collaborator wishes to work with us to develop an early-stage program, we may execute a research collaboration pursuant to which we receive reimbursement for our development costs but the exclusive license rights, and related access fee, are deferred until completion of an initial research program.

In 2011, we entered into our first collaboration and have added new collaborations since then, either by entering into new agreements or expanding or adding fields to existing ECCs. To date, we have entered into 23 such agreements and expansions with 19 different counterparties, of which 21 remain active. We have 20 active ECCs, including three expansions, and one research collaboration that we anticipate could, if successful, become an ECC. Under the ECCs, we are developing products in the fields of healthcare, food, energy and consumer goods. In healthcare, our ECCs include programs in oncology, anti-infectives, antibiotics and tissue repair. In food, we are working to increase the productivity and nutritional value of salmon and other fish. In energy, we are working to develop certain fuels and lubricants from natural gas. In consumer goods, we are working to advance new skin and hair care products.

Effective July 26, 2013, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders approved a reverse stock split of 1-for-1.75 of the Company’s shares of common stock. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. Our historical share and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this reverse stock split. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and warrants were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of all of our Series Preferred Stock were proportionately reduced and the conversion prices were proportionately increased.

On August 13, 2013, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, whereby we sold 11,499,998 shares of common stock (inclusive of 1,499,999 shares of common stock sold by us pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering) at a price of $16.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NYSE on August 8, 2013. The aggregate net proceeds received by us from the IPO were $168.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, including accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, converted into 79,705,130 shares of common stock. Additionally, in connection with the closing of the IPO, we amended and restated our articles of incorporation pursuant to which we are now authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 25,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

Mergers and acquisitions

On March 6, 2014, we acquired California-based Medistem, Inc., or Medistem, a pioneer in the development of Endometrial Regenerative Cells, or ERCs, universal donor adult-derived stem cells. We intend to employ our synthetic biology platforms to engineer a diverse array of cell-based therapeutic candidates using Medistem’s multipotent ERCs. We began consolidating Medistem’s results of operations and financial position effective March 6, 2014.

On October 1, 2013, we acquired 4,163,265 shares of common stock of Biological & Popular Culture, Inc., or BioPop, representing 51.00 percent of the outstanding shares of BioPop, resulting in us gaining control over BioPop. BioPop was consolidated on our results of operations and financial position beginning on October 1, 2013.

On November 16, 2012, we acquired 48,631,444 shares of common stock of AquaBounty Technologies, Inc., or AquaBounty, representing 47.56 percent of the then outstanding shares of AquaBounty, through a definitive purchase agreement with an existing AquaBounty shareholder and its affiliate. We originally accounted for our investment in AquaBounty using the equity method. On March 15, 2013, we acquired 18,714,814 additional shares of AquaBounty common stock increasing our aggregate ownership in AquaBounty to 53.82 percent, resulting in us gaining control over AquaBounty. AquaBounty was consolidated on our results of operations and financial position beginning on March 15, 2013. On March 20, 2014, we acquired 19,040,366 additional shares of AquaBounty common stock increasing our aggregate ownership in AquaBounty to 59.85 percent.

Financial overview

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. We have never generated any royalty revenues from sales of products by our collaborators and may never be profitable.

We expect our future capital requirements will be substantial, particularly as we continue to develop our business and expand our synthetic biology technology platform. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents; short-term and long-term investments; and cash expected to be received through our current collaborators will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Sources of revenue

We derive our revenues through the execution of ECCs for the development and commercialization of products enabled by our technologies. Generally, the terms of our ECCs provide that we receive some or all of the following: (i) technology access fees upon consummation of such ECC; (ii) reimbursements of costs incurred by us for our research and development and/or manufacturing efforts related to the specific application provided for in the ECC; (iii) milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial activities; and (iv) royalties on sales of products arising from the collaboration.

Our technology access fees and milestone payments may be in the form of cash or securities of the collaborator. Because our ECCs contain multiple arrangements, we typically defer much of the technology access and milestone payments received and recognize such revenues in the future over the anticipated performance period. We are also entitled to sublicensing revenues in those situations where our collaborators choose to license our technologies to other parties.

Table of Contents

In future periods, our revenues will depend on the number of ECCs into which we enter, the advancement and creation of programs within our ECCs and the extent to which our collaborators bring products enabled by our technologies to market. Our revenues will also depend on the ability of AquaBounty to receive regulatory approval and establish successful commercialization of its AquAdvantage Salmon products. In light of our limited operating history and experience in consummating new ECCs, there can be no assurance as to the timing, magnitude and predictability of revenues to which we might be entitled.

In certain strategic circumstances, we may enter into a joint venture with an ECC collaborator whereby we will enter into an ECC with a joint venture entity and both parties may contribute access to their technology, cash or both into the joint venture and jointly control the joint venture. Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, we may be required to contribute additional capital to the joint venture, and we may be able to receive a higher financial return than we would normally receive from an ECC to the extent that we and our ECC collaborator are successful in developing one or more products.

Research and development expenses

We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of:

 

    salaries and related overhead expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in research and development functions;

 

    fees paid to consultants and contract research organizations who perform research on our behalf and under our direction;

 

    costs related to laboratory supplies used in our research and development efforts;

 

    depreciation of leasehold improvements, laboratory equipment and computers;

 

    amortization of patents and related technologies acquired in mergers and acquisitions;

 

    rent and utility costs for our research and development facilities; and

 

    costs related to stock options granted to personnel in research and development functions.

We have no individually significant research and development projects and our research and development expenses primarily relate to either the costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our multiple platform technologies or the costs incurred to develop a specific application of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators. Research and development expenses typically do not include significant development, including pre-clinical or clinical development, activities since they are the responsibility of our collaborators. Research and development expenses incurred for programs we support pursuant to an ECC agreement are reimbursed by the collaborator at cost and all other research and development programs may be terminated or otherwise deferred at our discretion. The amount of our research and development expenses may be impacted by, among other things, the number of ECCs and the number and size of programs we may support on behalf of an ECC.

The table below summarizes our research and development expenses incurred to expand or otherwise improve our multiple platform technologies or the costs incurred to develop a specific application of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Other research and development expenses for these periods include indirect salaries and overhead expenses that are not allocated to either expanding or improving our multiple platform technologies or specific applications of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators.

Table of Contents

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase as we continue to enter into ECCs and as we expand our offerings across additional market sectors. We believe these increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel in research and development functions, increased costs paid to consultants and contract research organizations and increased costs related to laboratory supplies.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for employees in executive, operational, finance, information technology and legal functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include rent and utilities, insurance, legal services and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining our intellectual property.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we operate as a public company. We believe that these increases will likely include increased costs for director and officer liability insurance, costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and increased fees for outside consultants, lawyers and accountants. We also expect to incur increased costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to public companies.

Other income (expense), net

We hold equity securities received and/or purchased from certain collaborators. Other than investments accounted for using the equity method discussed below, we elected the fair value option to account for our equity securities held in these collaborators. These equity securities are recorded at fair value at each reporting date. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from fair value adjustments are reported as other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. As such, we bear the risk that fluctuations in the securities’ share prices may significantly impact our results of operations.

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments.

Interest expense pertains to equipment currently under four capitalized leases and long term debt held by AquaBounty.

On March 15, 2013, we recorded a gain on our previously held equity investment in AquaBounty; such gain represented the adjustment to fair value of the pro rata share of our original investment.

Equity in net income (loss) of affiliate

Equity in net loss of affiliates is our pro-rata share of our equity method investments’ operating results, adjusted for accretion of basis difference. Through March 15, 2013, we accounted for our investment in AquaBounty using the equity method of accounting since we had the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating activities of AquaBounty. On March 15, 2013, we acquired additional ownership interests in AquaBounty which resulted in us gaining control over AquaBounty, thereby requiring consolidation effective on that date. We account for investments in S & I Ophthalmic, OvaXon, and Intrexon Energy Partners using the equity method of accounting since we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating activities of these joint ventures.

The $4.0 million increase in collaboration revenue resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from 13 collaborations or expansions thereof signed by the Company between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014; recognition of research and development services performed by the Company pursuant to these new collaborations; and increased research and development services performed by the Company for collaborations in effect prior to March 31, 2013 as a result of the progression of current programs and the initiation of new programs with these collaborators.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $0.7 million increase in research and development expenses is primarily the result of research and development expenses for AquaBounty increasing $0.5 million due to the inclusion of a full three months of AquaBounty’s expenses in our consolidated results in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 16 days in the first quarter of 2013.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of the $7.2 million increase, $3.0 million relates to salaries,

benefits and other personnel expenses resulting from our hiring of additional employees needed to operate as a public company, stock-based compensation expenses for stock option grants we made to all employees in the first quarter of 2014 and, finally, inclusion of a full three months of costs for AquaBounty employees in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 16 days in the first quarter of 2013. We also incurred stock-based compensation expense for options granted to our non-employee directors which increased $1.7 million due to changes in our director compensation plan which we adopted in conjunction with our transition to a public company. Legal expenses increased $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to costs associated with the Medistem acquisition and the formation of the joint venture with Intrexon Energy Partners. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses in 2014 results from the inclusion of three full months of costs related to AquaBounty in 2014 compared to 16 days in 2013 and additional costs for accounting and auditing fees, directors and officers insurance, exchange listing fees, and other costs that are directly related to being a public company.

Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net is primarily composed of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of equity securities which was $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $(29.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the result of market change for the equity securities we hold in certain of our collaborators. Total other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes a $7.4 million gain on our previously held equity interest in AquaBounty triggered by the requirement to consolidate AquaBounty as of March 15, 2013.

Equity in net loss of affiliates

Equity in net loss of affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes our pro-rata share of the net losses of our investments we account for by the equity method of accounting. The $0.1 million increase in equity in net loss of affiliates is the result of us having two investments, S & I Ophthalmic and OvaXon, with net losses for the entire quarter in 2014 compared to only one investment, AquaBounty, in 2013 that was accounted for using the equity method through March 15, 2013.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of liquidity

We have incurred losses from operations since our inception in 1998 and as of March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $372.3 million. From our inception through March 31, 2014, we have funded our operations principally with the proceeds received from the sale of $509.5 million of our preferred stock, net proceeds from our IPO of $168.3 million and cash payments from our collaborators of $65.7 million. As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $110.1 million and short-term and long-term investments of $153.0 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested primarily in money market funds, certificates of deposits, U.S. government debt securities and commercial paper in order to maintain liquidity and capital preservation.

with Intrexon Energy Partners and our net income of $3.2 million, which includes unrealized appreciation on equity securities of $21.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily composed of our $36.4 million net loss, offset by unrealized depreciation on equity securities of $29.4 million and our $7.4 million gain on previously held equity interest in AquaBounty.

Cash flows from investing activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities was $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received proceeds from the maturity of short-term and long-term investments of $35.2 million. These proceeds were offset by cash outflows of $4.9 million for the Medistem acquisition, a $1.5 million capital contribution to OvaXon and $3.0 million in purchases of property and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our consolidation of AquaBounty on March 15, 2013 resulted in net cash acquired of $0.5 million.

Cash flows from financing activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $63.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $25.0 million of proceeds from the private placement of our common stock which closed on March 27, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $62.9 million of proceeds from the sale of our Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series F Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs, in addition to $0.2 million of proceeds for subscriptions payable for our Series F Preferred Stock issued in April 2013.

Future capital requirements

We established our current strategy and business model of commercializing our technologies through collaborators with development expertise in 2010 and we consummated our first ECC in January 2011. Through March 31, 2014 we received from our ECCs (i) upfront and milestone consideration totaling $117.8 million, of which $100.8 million has been deferred and will be recognized over future periods; and (ii) reimbursement of our costs incurred for work performed on behalf of our collaborators of $33.1 million. We believe that we will continue to consummate ECCs with new companies across our various market sectors, which will result in additional upfront, milestone and cost recovery payments in the future.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments and cash expected to be received through our current collaborators will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

    progress in our research and development programs, as well as the magnitude of these programs;

 

    the timing, receipt and amount of upfront, milestone and other payments, if any, from present and future collaborators, if any;

 

    the timing, receipt and amount of sales and royalties, if any, from our potential products;

 

    the timing, receipt and amount of funding under future government contracts, if any;

 

    our ability to maintain and establish additional collaborative arrangements and/or new business initiatives;

 

    the timing of regulatory approval of AquaBounty products;

 

    the resources, time and cost required for the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patent claims;

 

    the costs associated with legal activities, including litigation, arising in the course of our business activities and our ability to prevail in any such legal disputes; and

 

    the timing and extent of our obligation to participate in up to $19.0 million in equity financings of ZIOPHARM.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate positive operating cash flows, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common

shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Contractual obligations and commitments

(1) We lease our facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases.

In addition to the obligations in the table above, as of March 31, 2014 we also have the following significant contractual obligations described below.

In conjunction with our ECC with ZIOPHARM in 2011, we agreed to purchase up to $50.0 million of ZIOPHARM common stock in conjunction with securities offerings that may be conducted by ZIOPHARM in the future, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We purchased $10.0 million in each of 2013 and 2012 and $11.0 million in 2011 of ZIOPHARM common stock in such securities offerings. The remaining obligation on this purchase commitment is approximately $19.0 million at December 31, 2013. This amount is not included in the table above due to the fact that the timing of such securities purchases cannot be predicted.

In June 2011, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Halozyme for the use of Halozyme’s proprietary enzyme in one of our targeted therapeutics. We are related parties with Halozyme through common ownership by Third Security, LLC. Under the terms of this agreement, we are required to pay a non-refundable, annual exclusivity fee of $1.0 million on each anniversary of the agreement effective date until a certain development event occurs. The agreement requires us to pay up to $54.0 million of milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory events. We are obligated to pay tiered royalties on net sales of an approved product developed with Halozyme’s proprietary enzyme. We may terminate this agreement in whole or on a product basis at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to Halozyme. As permitted by the agreement, the Company provided notice of termination on April 24, 2014 and no future payments will be required.

We acquired 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Immunologix in October 2011. The transaction included a contingent consideration arrangement which may require us to pay the selling shareholders 50 percent, subject to a maximum of $2.0 million, of revenue generated from Immunologix’s technology applied towards a specific target as defined in the agreement up to a maximum of $2.0 million. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of whether, if ever, we will pay this contingent consideration.

In December 2012, we received $2.5 million from Synthetic Biologics as prepayment of research and development services to be provided to Synthetic Biologics. Any remaining balance of this prepayment is refundable to Synthetic Biologics in the event our August 2012 ECC is terminated. Synthetic Biologics may voluntarily terminate the ECC upon 90 days’ written notice to us provided that no voluntary termination by Synthetic Biologics can be made during the first 18 months of the ECC. The remaining balance of this prepayment is $1.1 million at March 31, 2014 and is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing of the performance of these services by us and the unlikely termination of the ECC by either party.

We are also party to in-licensed research and development agreements with various academic and commercial institutions where we could be required to make future payments for annual maintenance fees as well as for milestones and royalties we might receive upon commercial sales of products which incorporate their technologies. These agreements are generally subject to termination by us and therefore no amounts are included in the tables above. At March 31, 2014, we had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $2.6 million of which $0.9 had not yet been incurred.

Table of Contents

In January 2009, AquaBounty was awarded a grant to provide funding of a research and development project from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, a Canadian government agency. The total amount available under the award is USD$2.7 million, which AquaBounty can claim over a five year period. All amounts claimed by AquaBounty must be repaid in the form of a 10 percent royalty on any products commercialized out of this research and development project until fully paid. Because the timing of commercialization is subject to regulatory approval, the timing of repayment is uncertain. As of the acquisition date, AquaBounty had claimed $2.0 million of the available funds and this amount was recorded on our audited consolidated balance sheet at its acquisition date fair value of $1.1 million. The Company accretes the difference of $0.9 million between the face value of amounts drawn and the acquisition date fair value over the expected period of repayment. Since the acquisition date and through March 31, 2014, AquaBounty has made subsequent draws of $0.6 million resulting in total long-term debt of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2014. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing of repayment.

In conjunction with the formation of a joint venture with an indirect subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. in September 2013, we committed to making future capital contributions to the joint venture, subject to certain conditions and limitations, in order to comply with the obligations of the joint venture. In cases in which the board of managers of the joint venture determines that additional capital contributions are necessary, we have committed to making additional capital contributions subject to certain limitations. These future capital contributions are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of such contributions.

In conjunction with the formation of a joint venture with OvaScience in December 2013, we committed to make an initial capital contribution to the joint venture in the amount of $1.5 million, which was paid in January 2014. In cases in which the board of the joint venture determines that additional capital contributions are necessary, we have the option of making additional capital contributions subject to certain limitations. These future capital contributions are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of such contributions.

In conjunction with the formation of a joint venture with an Intrexon Energy Partners in March 2014, we committed to making future capital contributions to the joint venture in the amount of $25.0 million at the request of the board of managers of Intrexon Energy Partners and subject to certain conditions and limitations. These future capital contributions are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of such contributions.

Net operating losses

As of March 31, 2014, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $235.4 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income and U.S. federal and state research and development tax credits of $7.0 million, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Section 382. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2022.

Our past issuances of stock and mergers and acquisitions have resulted in ownership changes within the meaning of Section 382. As a result, the utilization of portions of our net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations. As of March 31, 2014, approximately $16.4 million of our net operating losses generated prior to 2008 are limited by Section 382 to annual usage limits of approximately $1.5 million. As of March 31, 2014, approximately $23.2 million of net operating losses were inherited via acquisition and are limited based on the value of the target at the time of the transaction. Future changes in stock ownership may also trigger an ownership change and, consequently, a Section 382 limitation.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases as mentioned above, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent accounting pronouncements

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following sections provide quantitative information on our exposure to interest rate risk, stock price risk, and foreign currency exchange risk. We make use of sensitivity analyses which are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.

Interest rate risk

We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $263.0 million and $238.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments consist of cash, money market funds, U.S. government debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our investments consist of U.S. government debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit which may be subject to market risk due to changes in prevailing interest rates that may cause the fair values of our investments to fluctuate. We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments and any such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.

Investments in publicly traded companies

We have common stock investments in several publicly traded companies that are subject to market price volatility. We have adopted the fair value method of accounting for these investments, except for our investment in AquaBounty as further described below, and therefore, have recorded them at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the unrealized gain or loss recorded as a separate component of other income (expense), net for the period. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the original aggregate cost basis of these investments was $145.2 million and $140.0 million, respectively, and the market value was $168.7 million and $141.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these investments is subject to fluctuation in the future due to the volatility of the stock market, changes in general economic conditions and changes in the financial conditions of these companies. The fair value of these investments as of March 31, 2014 would be approximately $185.5 million and $134.9 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the value of the investments. The fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2013 would be approximately $155.7 million and $113.2 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the value of the investments.

In November 2012, we acquired 47.56 percent of the outstanding common stock of AquaBounty and we accounted for this investment under the equity method of accounting for the period from acquisition date through March 15, 2013. On March 15, 2013, we acquired 18,714,814 additional shares of AquaBounty common stock for $4.9 million, thereby increasing our aggregate ownership to 53.82 percent upon closing. Accordingly, effective upon closing of the acquisition of the additional shares, we consolidated the assets and operating results of AquaBounty in our consolidated financial statements. On March 20, 2014, we acquired 19,040,366 additional shares of AquaBounty common stock for $10.0 million, thereby increasing our aggregate ownership to 59.85 percent upon closing. The common stock of AquaBounty is traded on the London Stock Exchange and the fair value of our investment in AquaBounty at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $45.3 million and $55.0 million, respectively. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of March 31, 2014 would be approximately $49.8 million and $36.2 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the share price of AquaBounty. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of December 31, 2013 would be approximately $60.5 million and $44.0 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the share price of AquaBounty.

Foreign currency exchange risk

Because the common stock of AquaBounty is traded on the London Stock Exchange, the fair value of our holdings is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. In addition, some of our subsidiaries’ current expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. We do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. The effect of a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation or legal matters incidental to our business activities. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we are vigorously defending them and do not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to our current expectation, the effect on our results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In evaluating our risks, readers should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results, in addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities

Other than the private placement of 972,004 shares of our common stock on March 26, 2014, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2014, there were no sales of unregistered securities during the period from January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014.

(b) Use of Proceeds

On August 7, 2013, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-189853) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission for our initial public offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 11,499,998 shares of our common stock (inclusive of 1,499,999 shares of common stock sold by us pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering) at a price to the public of $16.00 per share for aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $184.0 million. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint book-running managers. On August 13, 2013, we closed the sale of such shares, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $168.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $12.9 million and other offering expenses of approximately $2.8 million. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates. We invested the funds received in cash equivalents and other short-term and long-term investments in accordance with our investment policy. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus, dated August 7, 2013, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b).

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Not applicable.
