Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business

In these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refers to Codexis, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

We discover, develop and sell proteins that deliver value to our clients in a growing set of industries. We view proteins as a vast untapped source of value-creating materials, and we are using our proven technologies, which we have been continuously improving since our inception in 2002, to commercialize an increasing number of novel proteins, both as proprietary Codexis products and in partnership with our customers.

We are a pioneer in the harnessing of computational technologies to drive biology advancements. Since our inception in 2002, we have made substantial investments in the development of our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform, the primary source of our competitive advantage. Our technology platform is powered by proprietary, artificial intelligence-based, computational algorithms that rapidly mine our large and continuously growing library of protein variants’ performance attributes. These computational outputs enable increasingly reliable predictions for next generation protein variants to be engineered, enabling delivery of targeted performance enhancements in a time-efficient manner. In addition to its computational prowess, our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform integrates additional modular competencies, including robotic high-throughput screening and genomic sequencing, organic chemistry and process development which are all coordinated to create our novel protein innovations.

Our approach to develop commercially viable biocatalytic manufacturing processes begins by conceptually designing the most cost-effective and practical process for a targeted product. We then develop optimized protein catalysts to enable that process design, using our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology. Engineered protein catalyst candidates - many thousands for each protein engineering project - are then rapidly screened and validated in high throughput screening under relevant manufacturing operating conditions. This approach results in an optimized protein catalyst enabling cost-efficient processes that typically are relatively simple to run in conventional manufacturing equipment. This also allows for the efficient technical transfer of our process to our manufacturing partners.

The successful embodiment of our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform in commercial manufacturing processes requires well-integrated expertise in a number of technical disciplines. In addition to those directly involved in practicing our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology, such as molecular biology, enzymology, microbiology, cellular engineering, metabolic engineering, bioinformatics, biochemistry and high throughput analytical chemistry, our process development projects also involve integrated expertise in organic chemistry, chemical process development, chemical engineering, fermentation process development and fermentation engineering. Our integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to biocatalyst and process development is a critical success factor for our company.

We initially commercialized our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform and products in the pharmaceuticals market, which remains our primary business focus. Our customers, which include several large global pharmaceutical companies, use our technology, products and services in their manufacturing processes and process development.

We have also used the technology to develop protein catalysts for use in the fine chemicals market. The fine chemicals market consists of several large market verticals, including food and food ingredients, animal feed, flavors, fragrances and agricultural chemicals.

We have also begun using the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform to develop early stage, novel biotherapeutic product candidates, both for our customers and for our own business, most notably our lead program for the potential treatment of phenylketonuria ("PKU") in humans. PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder in which the enzyme that converts the essential amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine is deficient. In October 2017, we entered into a Global Development, Option and License Agreement (the "Nestlé Agreement") with Nestec Ltd. ("Nestlé Health Science") to advance CDX-6114, our enzyme biotherapeutic product candidate for the potential treatment of PKU. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize CDX-6114.

In April 2018, we entered into a strategic agreement (the "Porton Agreement") with Porton Pharma Solutions, Ltd. ("Porton") to license key elements of our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform to Porton’s global custom intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API") development and manufacturing business. This gives us access to a wide variety of small and medium-sized pharmaceutical customers.

We also use our technology to develop enzymes for customers using next generation sequencing ("NGS") and polymerase chain reaction ("PCR/qPCR") for in vitro molecular diagnostic and genomic research applications. Our first enzyme for this application is a DNA ligase which we began marketing to customers in 2018.

Below are brief descriptions of our business segments (See Note 13, "Segment, Geographical and Other Revenue Information"):

Performance Enzymes

We initially commercialized our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform and products in the pharmaceuticals market, and to date this continues to be our largest market served. Our customers, which include many large global pharmaceutical companies, use our technology, products and services in their manufacturing processes and process development. We have also used the technology to develop customized enzymes for use in other industrial markets. These markets consist of several large industrial verticals, including food and food ingredients, animal feed, flavors, fragrances, and agricultural chemicals. We also use our technology to develop enzymes for customers using NGS and PCR/qPCR for in vitro molecular diagnostic and molecular biology research applications.

Novel Biotherapeutics

We are also targeting new opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry to discover, improve, and/or develop biotherapeutic drug candidates. We believe that our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology can be used to discover novel biotherapeutic drug candidates that will target human diseases that are in need of improved therapeutic interventions. Similarly, we believe that we can deploy our platform technology to improve specific characteristics of a customer’s pre-existing biotherapeutic drug candidate, such as its activity, stability or immunogenicity. Most notable is our lead program for the potential treatment of PKU in humans. PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder in which the enzyme that converts the essential amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine is deficient. In October 2017, we announced a strategic collaboration with Nestlé Health Science to advance CDX-6114, our own novel orally administrable enzyme therapeutic candidate for the potential treatment of PKU. In July 2018, we announced that we had dosed the first subjects in a first-in-human Phase 1a dose-escalation trial with CDX-6114, which was conducted in Australia. In November 2018, we announced top-line results from the Phase 1a study in healthy volunteers with CDX-6114. In December 2018, Nestlé Health Science became obligated to pay us an additional $1.0 million within 60 days after the achievement of a milestone relating to formulation of CDX-6114. In January 2019, we received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that it had completed its review of our investigational new drug application (“IND”) for CDX-6114 and concluded that we may proceed with the proposed Phase 1b multiple ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the United States. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sub-licensable license for the global development and commercialization of CDX-6114 for the management of PKU which triggered a payment of $3.0 million to us. Upon exercising its option, Nestlé Health Science has assumed all responsibilities for future clinical development and commercialization of CDX-6114, with the exception of the completion of an extension study, CDX - 6114-004, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019.

We have also developed a pipeline of other biotherapeutic drug candidates, which are in preclinical development, and in which we expect to continue to make additional investments with the aim of advancing additional product candidates targeting other therapeutic areas.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not

include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are updated below as necessary.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2019, results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim period or for the entire year. Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASC 842) establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. See "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" for details regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codexis, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States, India and the Netherlands. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly assess these estimates which primarily affect revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, the valuation of marketable securities, goodwill arising out of business acquisitions, accrued liabilities, stock awards, and the valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting

We report two business segments, Performance Enzymes and Novel Biotherapeutics, which are based on our operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources, and in assessing performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Our business segments are primarily based on our organizational structure and our operating results as used by our CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources for our company. We do not allocate or evaluate assets by segment.

The Novel Biotherapeutics segment focuses on new opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry to discover or improve novel biotherapeutic drug candidates that will target human diseases that are in need of improved therapeutic interventions. The Performance Enzymes segment consists of the existing protein catalyst products and services with focus on pharmaceutical, food, molecular diagnostics, and other industrial markets.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets, current portion of lease obligations, and long-term lease obligations on our balance sheets.

ROU lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease obligations are not recognized for short-term leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (“ASC 842”), which is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring lessees to recognize leases on balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842" ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to ASC 842, Leases" and ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements." The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires lessees to record a ROU asset and lease obligations on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and effective date method. We also elected the "package of practical expedients," which permit us not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to us. Upon adoption, for operating leases, we recognized $26.6 million of ROU assets and $27.6 million of lease obligations, which represents the present value of the lease payments discounted using our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") of 6.6%. For finance leases, we recognized $0.5 million of ROU assets and $0.3 million of lease obligations which represents the present value of the lease payments discounted using weighted-average implicit rate of 5.0%. These amounts, included the eighth amendment to the lease agreement disclosed in Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," were recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets on January 1, 2019.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This standard allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects and will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2019 and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively. We adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2019, and the adoption had no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-07 in the first quarter of 2019, and the adoption had no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, "Codification Improvements”, which represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification, eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications in current guidance. The amendments in this ASU include those made to: Subtopic 220-10, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Overall; Subtopic 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments; Subtopic 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity-Overall; Subtopic 718-740, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes; Subtopic 805-740, Business Combinations-Income Taxes; Subtopic 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging-Overall; Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement-Overall; Subtopic 940-405, Financial Services-Brokers and Dealers-Liabilities; and Subtopic 962-325, Plan Accounting-Defined Contribution Pension Plans-Investments-Other. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. We adopted subtopics under ASU 2018-09 that are applicable to our Company which included subtopics 718-740 and 820-10 in the first quarter of 2019, and the adoption had no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the FASB's guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The standard adds a new impairment model (known as the "current expected credit loss model") that is based on expected losses

rather than incurred losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." The amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this standard to have any material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606." ASU 2018-18 provides guidance on how to assess whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for within the revenue recognition standard. The ASU also provides more comparability in the presentation of revenue for certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants. In general, for public companies, the amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this standard to have any material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses." ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard. In general, the amendments in this standard are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect this standard to have any material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements". These amendments align the guidance for fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers in Topic 842 with that of existing guidance (Issue #1). The ASU also requires lessors within the scope of Topic 942, Financial Services—Depository and Lending, to present all “principal payments received under leases” within investing activities (Issue #2). The ASU exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard (Issue #3). In general, the amendments in ASU 2019-01 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The transition and effective date provisions apply to Issue 1 and Issue 2. They do not apply to Issue 3 because the amendments for that Issue are to the original transition requirements in Topic 842. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2019-01 on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4. Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less restricted stock awards ("RSAs") subject to forfeiture. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less RSAs subject to forfeiture, plus all additional common stock shares that would have been outstanding, assuming dilutive potential common stock shares had been issued for other dilutive securities. For periods of net loss, diluted and basic net loss per share are identical since potential common stock shares are excluded from the calculation, as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Anti-Dilutive Securities

In periods of net loss, the weighted average number of shares outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities, prior to the application of the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because including such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2019	2018
Shares of common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan	6,750	7,530

Note 5. Collaborative Arrangements

GSK Platform Technology Transfer, Collaboration and License Agreement

In July 2014, we entered into a CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology transfer collaboration and license agreement (the "GSK CodeEvolver^®Agreement") with GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we granted GSK a non-exclusive license to use the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology to develop novel enzymes for use in the manufacture of GSK's pharmaceutical and health care products.

We received an upfront fee upon the execution of the agreement in July 2014 and milestone payments in each of the years from 2014 through April 2016. We completed the transfer of the CodeEvolver^®protein engineering platform technology to GSK in April 2016 and all revenues relating to the technology transfer have been recognized as of April 2016. We have the potential to receive additional cumulative contingent payments that range from $5.75 million to $38.5 million per project based on

GSK’s successful application of the licensed technology. We are also eligible to receive royalties based on net sales of GSK’s sales of licensed enzyme products that are currently constrained.

Merck Platform Technology Transfer and License Agreement

In August 2015, we entered into a CodeEvolver^® platform technology transfer collaboration and license agreement (the "Merck CodeEvolver^®Agreement") with Merck, Sharp & Dohme ("Merck") which allows Merck to use the CodeEvolver^®protein engineering technology platform in the field of human and animal healthcare.

We received a $5.0 million up-front license fee upon execution of the Merck CodeEvolver^® Agreement, and milestone payments in September 2015 and in September 2016, when we completed the transfer of the engineering platform technology. Additionally, we recognized research and development revenues of $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for various research projects under our collaborative arrangement.

We have the potential to receive payments of up to a maximum of $15.0 million for each commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") that is manufactured by Merck using one or more novel enzymes developed by Merck using the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform. The API payments, which are currently not recognized in revenue, are based on quantity of API developed and manufactured by Merck and will be recognized as usage-based royalties.

In January 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Merck CodeEvolver^® Agreement whereby we will install certain CodeEvolver^®protein engineering technology upgrades into Merck’s platform license installation and maintain those upgrades for a multi-year term. As of March 31, 2019, none of the technology upgrades have been installed and no revenue has been recognized under the amendment.

Merck Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement

In February 2012, we entered into a five-year Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement ("Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement") with Merck whereby Merck may obtain commercial scale substance for use in the manufacture of Januvia^®, its product based on the active ingredient sitagliptin. In December 2015, Merck exercised its option under the terms of the Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement to extend the agreement for an additional five years through February 2022.

Effective as of January 2016, we and Merck amended the Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement to prospectively provide for variable pricing based on the cumulative volume of sitagliptin catalyst purchased by Merck and to allow Merck to purchase a percentage of its requirements for sitagliptin catalyst from a specified third-party supplier. Merck received a distinct, functional license to manufacture a portion of its demand beginning January 1, 2018, which we recognized as research and development revenue. We recognized research and development revenue of zero and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We have determined that the variable pricing, which provides a discount based on the cumulative volume of sitagliptin catalyst purchased by Merck, provides Merck material rights and we are recognizing product revenues using the alternative method. Under the alternative approach, we estimate the total expected consideration and allocate it proportionately with the expected sales.

The Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement requires Merck to pay an annual fee for the rights to the sitagliptin technology each year for the term of the Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement. Amounts of annual license fees are based on contractually agreed prices and are on a declining scale over the term of the contract.

We had a deferred revenue balance from Merck of $2.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2018. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Sitagliptin Catalyst Supply Agreement, Merck may purchase supply from us for a fee based on contractually stated prices and we recognized $5.3 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in product revenue under this agreement.

Enzyme Supply Agreement

In November 2016, we entered into a supply agreement whereby our customer may purchase quantities of one of our proprietary enzymes for use in its commercial manufacture of a product. Pursuant to the supply agreement, we received an upfront payment of $0.8 million in December 2016, which we accordingly recorded as deferred revenue. Such upfront payment will be recognized over the period of the supply agreement as the customer purchases our proprietary enzyme. We additionally have determined that the volume discounts under the supply agreement provides the customer material rights and we are recognizing revenues using the alternative method. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had deferred revenue from the supply agreement of $2.0 million.

Research and Development Agreement

In March 2017, we entered into a multi-year research and development services agreement with Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLC ("Tate & Lyle") to develop enzymes for use in the manufacture of Tate & Lyle’s zero-calorie TASTEVA^® M Stevia sweetener. Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $3.0 million, which was recognized ratably over the maximum term of the services period of 21 months. Beginning January 1, 2018, we are recognizing revenue using a single measure of progress that depicts our performance in transferring the services. During the second quarter of 2018, Tate & Lyle opted to obtain additional development services that we completed by June 30, 2018 and we earned milestone payments upon completion of the services. We recognized zero and $1.4 million of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for research and development services under the research and development agreement. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no deferred revenue from the development services agreement.

In April 2019, we entered into a multi-year commercial agreement with Tate & Lyle. (See Note 14, "Subsequent Events," for more details.)

Global Development, Option and License Agreement and Strategic Collaboration Agreement

In October 2017, we entered into a Global Development, Option and License Agreement (the "Nestlé Agreement") with Nestec Ltd. ("Nestlé Health Science") and, solely for the purpose of the integration and the dispute resolution clauses of the Nestlé Agreement, Nestlé Health Science S.A., to advance CDX-6114, our enzyme biotherapeutic product candidate for the potential treatment of PKU.

We received an upfront cash payment of $14.0 million upon the execution of the Nestlé Agreement, a $4.0 million milestone payment after dosing the first subjects in a first-in-human Phase 1a dose-escalation trial with CDX-6114, and a $1.0 million milestone payment upon achievement of a milestone relating to formulation of CDX-6114. The $4.0 million milestone payment that was triggered by the initiation of the trial was received in September 2018 and the $1.0 million milestone payment that was triggered by the achievement of a formulation relating to CDX-6114 was received in February 2019. The upfront payment and the variable consideration relating to the progress payment of $4.0 million and milestone payment of $1.0 million are being recognized over time as the development work is being performed. Revenue is being recognized using a single measure of progress that depicts our performance in transferring control of the services, which is based on the ratio of level of effort incurred to date compared to the total estimated level of effort required to complete all performance obligations under the agreement. We recognized development fees of $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as research and development revenue. We had deferred revenue related to the development fees attributed to the milestone payment and up-front fees of $0.7 million at March 31, 2019 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2018.

In January 2019, we received notice from the FDA that it had completed its review of our IND for CDX-6114 and concluded that we may proceed with the proposed Phase 1b multiple ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the United States. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sub-licensable license for the global development and commercialization of CDX-6114 for the management of PKU. As a result of the option exercise, Nestlé Health Science is obligated to pay us $3.0 million which we recognized revenue for three months ended March 31, 2019 as research and development fees. Upon exercising its option, Nestlé Health Science has assumed all responsibilities for future clinical development and commercialization of CDX-6114, with the exception of the completion of an extension study, CDX-6114-004, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019. Other potential payments from Nestlé Health Science to us under the Nestlé Agreement include (i) development and approval milestones of up to $85.0 million, (ii) sales-based milestones of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate, which aggregate amount is achievable if net sales exceed $1.0 billion in a single year, and (iii) tiered royalties, at percentages ranging from the middle single digits to low double-digits, of net sales of product.

In addition to the Nestlé Agreement, we and Nestlé Health Science concurrently entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (the "Strategic Collaboration Agreement") pursuant to which we and Nestlé Health Science will collaborate to leverage the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform to develop novel enzymes for Nestlé Health Science’s established Consumer Care and Medical Nutrition business areas. Under the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, we received an upfront payment of $1.2 million in 2017 and an incremental $0.6 million payment in September 2018 for additional services. We recognized research and development fees of $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We had deferred revenue of $0.6 million and $0.8 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Strategic Collaboration Agreement

In April 2018, we entered into the Porton Agreement with Porton to license key elements of Codexis’ biocatalyst technology for use in Porton’s global custom intermediate and API development and manufacturing business. Under the Porton Agreement, we are eligible to receive annual collaboration fees and research and development revenues. We received an initial collaboration fee of $0.5 million within 30 days of the effective date of the agreement and as of December 31, 2018, we completed the technical transfer. We recognized no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, as research and development revenue. Revenue relating to the functional license provided to Porton was recognized at a point in time when control of the license transferred to the customer.

⁽³⁾As a result of adopting ASU 2016-01, in 2018 and thereafter gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses related to our investment in CO₂ Solutions were recognized in other expense, in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2019, the total cash and cash equivalents balance of $47.3 million was comprised of money market funds of $28.0 million and cash of $19.3 million held with major financial institutions worldwide. As of December 31, 2018, the total cash and cash equivalents balance of $53.0 million was comprised of money market funds of $31.2 million and cash of $21.8 million held with major financial institutions worldwide.

In December 2009, we purchased 10,000,000 common shares of CO₂Solutions, a company based in Quebec, Canada, whose shares are publicly traded in Canada on TSX Venture Exchange. Our purchase represented approximately 16.6% of CO₂ Solutions’ total common shares outstanding at the time of investment and was made in a private placement subject to a four-month statutory resale restriction. This restriction expired on April 15, 2010. Our investment in CO₂ Solutions is recorded at its fair value. See Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements.” Through March 31, 2019, we concluded that we did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over CO₂ Solutions’ operating and financial policies.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-01. Upon adoption, we reclassified the $0.5 million net unrealized loss from accumulated other comprehensive loss to our opening accumulated deficit. As of March 31, 2019, we recognized an unrealized loss of $0.1 million related to our investment in CO₂ Solutions in other expense, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

In March 2010, our board of directors (the "Board") and stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering in April 2010. The number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2010 Plan is equal to 1,100,000 shares plus any shares of common stock reserved for future grant or issuance under our 2002 Stock Plan (the "2002 Plan") that remained unissued at the time of completion of the initial public offering. The 2010 Plan also provides for automatic annual increases in the number of shares reserved for future issuance. All grants will reduce the 2010 Plan reserve by one share for every share granted.

The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, RSUs, RSAs, PSUs, PBOs, stock appreciation rights, and stock purchase rights to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

The option exercise price for incentive stock options is at least 100% of the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and the option exercise price for non-statutory stock options is at least 85% of the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. If, at the time of a grant, the optionee directly or by attribution owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock, the exercise price for these options must be at least 110% of the fair value of the underlying common stock. Stock options granted to employees generally have a maximum term of 10 years and vest over a four year period from the date of grant, of which 25% vest at the end of one year, and 75% vest monthly over the remaining three years. We may grant options with different vesting terms from time to time. Unless an employee's termination of service is due to disability or death, upon termination of service, any unexercised vested options will be forfeited at the end of three months or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

We also grant employees RSUs, which generally vest over either a three year period with one-third of the shares subject to the RSUs vesting on each yearly anniversary of the vesting commencement date or over a four year period with 25% of the shares subject to the RSU vesting on each yearly anniversary of the vesting commencement date, in each case contingent upon such employee’s continued service on such vesting date. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of vesting restrictions. We may grant RSUs with different vesting terms from time to time.

Performance-contingent Restricted Stock Units (PSUs) and Performance Based Options (PBOs)

The compensation committee of the Board approved, solely in respect of non-executive employees, delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to approve grants of PSUs. The compensation committee of the Board also approved grants of PBOs and PSUs to our executives. The PSUs and PBOs vest based upon both the successful achievement of certain corporate operating milestones in specified timelines and continued employment through the applicable vesting date. When the performance goals are deemed to be probable of achievement for these types of awards, recognition of stock-based compensation expense commences. Once the number of shares eligible to vest is determined, those shares vest in two equal installments with 50% vesting upon achievement and the remaining 50% vesting on the first anniversary of achievement, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. If the performance goals are achieved at the threshold level, the number of shares eligible to vest in respect of the PSUs and PBOs would be equal to half the number of PSUs granted and one-quarter the number of shares underlying the PBOs granted. If the performance goals are achieved at the target level, the number of shares eligible to vest in respect of the PSUs and PBOs would be equal to the number of PSUs granted and half of the shares underlying the PBOs granted. If the performance goals are achieved at the superior level, the number of shares eligible to vest in respect of the PSUs would be equal to two times the number of PSUs granted and equal to the number of PBOs granted. The number of shares issuable upon achievement of the performance goals at the levels between the threshold and target levels for the PSUs and PBOs or between the target level and superior levels for the PSUs would be determined using linear interpolation. Achievement below the threshold level would result in no shares being eligible to vest in respect of the PSUs and PBOs.

In the first quarter of 2019, we awarded PSUs ("2019 PSUs") and PBOs ("2019 PBOs"), each of which commence vesting based upon the achievement of various weighted performance goals, including revenue growth, strategic advancement of biotherapeutics, cash balance and strategic plan development. As of March 31, 2019, we estimated that the 2019 PSUs and 2019 PBOs performance goals would be achieved at 100% of the target level, and recognized expenses accordingly.

In 2018, we awarded PSUs ("2018 PSUs") and PBOs ("2018 PBOs"), each of which commence vesting based upon the achievement of various weighted performance goals, including core business revenue growth, cash balance, new licensing collaborations, new research and development service revenue arrangements, technology advancement and novel therapeutic enzymes advancement. In the first quarter of 2019, we determined that the 2018 PSUs and 2018 PBOs performance goals had been achieved at 118% of the target level, and recognized expenses accordingly. Accordingly, one-half of the shares underlying the 2018 PSUs and PBOs vested in the first quarter of 2019 and one-half of the shares underlying the 2018 PSUs and PBOs will vest in the first quarter of 2020, in each case subject to the recipient’s continued service on each vesting date.

In 2017, we awarded PSUs ("2017 PSUs") and PBOs ("2017 PBOs"), each of which commence vesting based upon the achievement of various weighted performance goals, including revenue growth, fundraising, service revenue, new platform license revenue, and strategic advancement of biotherapeutics pipeline. In the first quarter of 2018, we determined that the 2017 PSU and PBO performance goals had been achieved at 134.2% of the target level, and recognized expenses accordingly. Accordingly, one-half of the shares underlying the 2017 PSUs and PBOs vested in the first quarter of 2018 and one-half of the shares underlying the 2017 PSUs and PBOs vested in the first quarter of 2019, in each case subject to the recipient’s continued service on each vesting date.

In 2016, we awarded PSUs ("2016 PSUs") based upon the achievement of various weighted performance goals, including revenue growth, non-GAAP net income growth, new licensing collaborations, new research and development service revenue arrangements and novel therapeutic enzymes advancement. In the first quarter of 2017, we determined that the 2016 PSU performance goals had been achieved at 142.3% of the target level, and recognized expenses accordingly. Accordingly, one-half of the shares underlying the 2016 PSUs vested in the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2018, in each case subject to the recipient’s continued service on each vesting date. No PBOs were awarded in 2016.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

Our headquarters are located in Redwood City, California, where we occupy approximately 107,200 square feet of office and laboratory space in four buildings within the same business park of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife"). Our lease (“Lease”) with MetLife includes approximately 28,200 square feet of space located at 200 and 220 Penobscot Drive, Redwood City, California (the “Penobscot Space”), approximately 37,900 square feet of space located at 400 Penobscot Drive, Redwood City, California (the “Building 2 Space”), approximately 11,200 square feet of space located at 501 Chesapeake Drive, Redwood City, California (the “501 Chesapeake Space”), and approximately 29,900 square feet of space located at 101 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California (the “Saginaw Space”).

We entered into the initial lease with MetLife for a portion of this space in 2004 and the lease has been amended multiple times since then to adjust space and amend the terms of the Lease. The lease amendment ("Seventh Amendment") in October 2016 waived our existing asset retirement obligation for one of our buildings and extended the lease term to January 2022. The various terms for the spaces under the lease have expiration dates that range from January 2020 through January 2022.

Beginning in February 2014, we have subleased certain office and laboratory space to different subtenants with separate options to extend the subleases. These subleases will expire in November 2019.

In February 2019, we entered into the eighth amendment to the Lease ("Eighth Amendment") with MetLife to extend the lease terms for the Penobscot Space, the Building 2 Space and the Chesapeake Space for another 88 months. The lease on the Saginaw Space will expire in January 2020. The lease terms for the Penobscot Space and Building 2 Space have an expiration date of May 2027. The lease term for the 501 Chesapeake Space has an expiration date of May 2029.

We incurred $3.6 million of capital improvement costs related to the facilities leased from MetLife through December 31, 2012. During 2011 and 2012, we requested and received $3.1 million of reimbursements from the landlord for the tenant improvement and HVAC allowances for the completed construction. The reimbursements were recorded once cash was received and are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction in rent expense. The remaining lease incentive obligations were zero and $0.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Prior to adoption of ASC 842, lease incentive obligation were reflected as liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of ASC 842, lease incentive obligations were cleared to zero to create our right-of-use assets related to operating lease, reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent expense for the Redwood City properties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

We are required to restore certain areas of the Redwood City facilities that we are renting to their original form. We are expensing the asset retirement obligation over the terms of the respective leases. We review the estimated obligation each reporting period and make adjustments if our estimates change. We recorded asset retirement obligations of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accretion expense related to our asset retirement obligations was nominal in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Pursuant to the terms of the amended lease agreement, we exercised our right to deliver a letter of credit in lieu of a security deposit. The letter of credit is collateralized by deposit balances held by the bank in the amount of $1.1 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These deposits are recorded as restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Rent expense was $1.2 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, partially offset by sublease income of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Finance Leases

In December 2016, we entered into a three-year financing lease agreement with a third party supplier for the purchase of laboratory equipment that was partially financed through a finance lease of approximately $0.4 million. The lease became effective upon delivery of the equipment, which occurred in February 2017, and the term of the lease is three years from the effective date. This financing agreement was accounted for as a capital lease due to the bargain purchase option at the end of the lease.

In April 2017, we entered into a three-year financing lease agreement with a third party supplier for the purchase of information technology equipment for approximately $0.3 million. The effective date of the lease was May 19, 2017 and the term of the lease is three years. This financing agreement was accounted for as a finance lease due to the bargain purchase option at the end of the lease.

Adoption of ASC 842

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, using a modified retrospective approach and effective date method per adoption of ASU 2018-11. We completed the full analysis by January, 2019 and we evaluated the right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease obligations using the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) at December 31, 2018 because the implicit rate is not readily determinable in the lease agreement. Upon adoption of ASC 842, all existing leases will be classified as either operating lease or finance lease. All existing leases that were classified as capital leases in accordance with Topic 840 will be classified as finance leases. We recorded $26.6 million of ROU assets and $27.6 million of lease obligations for operating leases and $0.5 million of ROU assets and $0.3 million of lease obligations for finance leases in the balance sheet at the beginning of 2019.

Practical Expedients, Elections, and Exemptions

We used a practical expedient available under ASC 842-10-65-1(f) that permits us not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (for example, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840 will be classified as operating leases, and

all existing leases that were classified as capital leases in accordance with ASC 840 will be classified as finance leases); and not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

On January 1, 2019, we also made an accounting policy election (by class of underlying asset to which the right of use relates) to apply accounting to leases that meet ASC 842’s definition of a short-term lease (i.e., the short-term lease exemption). A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

The following table shows the reconciliation of right-of-use assets and lease obligations, with balances reflecting the adoption of ASC 842, related to both operating leases and finance leases and gives effect to the modified retrospective adoption and effective date method of the lease guidance on January 1, 2019 (in thousands):

Other Commitments

We enter into supply and service arrangements in the normal course of business. Supply arrangements are primarily for fixed-price manufacture and supply. Service agreements are primarily for the development of manufacturing processes and certain studies. Commitments under service agreements are subject to cancellation at our discretion which may require payment of certain cancellation fees. The timing of completion of service arrangements is subject to variability in estimates of the time required to complete the work.

The following table provides quantitative data regarding our other commitments. Future minimum payments reflect amounts that we expect to pay including potential obligations under services agreements subject to risk of cancellation by us (in thousands):

Total other commitments		$	1,765

Credit Facility

Effective June 30, 2017, we entered into a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of term loans ("Term Debt") totaling up to $10.0 million, and advances ("Advances") under a revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line of Credit") totaling up to $5.0 million with an accounts receivable borrowing base of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. At March 31, 2019, we have not drawn from the Credit Facility. In September 2018, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility whereby the draw period on the term debt was extended to September 30, 2019. In January 2019, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Facility to allow for Codexis to obtain a letter of credit of up to $1.1 million to secure its obligations under the Lease with MetLife. We may draw on the Term Debt at any time prior to September 30, 2019, subject to customary conditions for funding including, among others, that no event of default exists. We may draw on the Revolving Line of Credit at any time prior to the maturity date. On October 1, 2022, any loans for Term Debt mature and the Revolving Line of Credit terminates. Term Debt bears interest through maturity at a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.60%. Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 1.00% above the prime rate and (ii) 5.00%.

The Credit Facility allows for interest-only payments on Term Debt through November 1, 2020. Monthly payments of principal and interest on the Term Debt are required following the applicable amortization date. We may elect to prepay in full the Term Debt and Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit at any time.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our personal property other than our intellectual property. The Credit Facility includes a number of customary covenants and restrictions which require us to comply with certain financial covenants including achieving consolidated product revenues levels at minimum levels as set forth in the Credit Facility unless we maintain certain minimum cash levels with the lender in an amount equal to or greater than six times the sum of the average six-month trailing operating cash flow net outlay plus the average monthly principal due and payable in the immediately succeeding three-month period. The Credit Facility places various restrictions on our transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, and selling assets and permitted assets to be held at foreign subsidiaries above specified caps, in each case subject to certain exceptions. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the lender to exercise remedies against us and the collateral securing the Credit Facility, including foreclosure of our properties securing the Credit Facility and our cash. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants for the Credit Facility.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party to any material pending litigation or other material legal proceedings.

In February 2018, we and EnzymeWorks, Inc. (U.S.), Suzhou Hanmei Biotechnology Co. Ltd, d/b/a EnzymeWorks, Inc. (China) (collectively, "EnzymeWorks"), Junhua Tao, and Andrew Tao reached a settlement concerning the lawsuit filed by us in February 2016 against EnzymeWorks, Junhua Tao, and Andrew Tao in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The parties have entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which are confidential. The parties have also stipulated to a judgment of patent infringement of all asserted patents against EnzymeWorks, and a permanent injunction barring any future infringement. The remaining claims against EnzymeWorks, and all claims against Junhua Tao, and Andrew Tao including trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract and voidable transfer have been dismissed with prejudice. EnzymeWorks appealed the sanctions levied against them by Judge Orrick to the Federal Circuit and filed its opening brief on May 30, 2018. On July 9, 2018, Codexis filed its response brief, and EnzymeWorks filed its reply on July 30, 2018. On February 8, 2019, the Federal Circuit panel of judges assigned to the case issued an opinion affirming the lower court’s ruling and remanding the case to the lower court on jurisdictional grounds to vacate the order to which the parties had earlier stipulated. EnzymeWorks has 90 days from the decision in which to appeal.

Indemnifications

We are required to recognize a liability for the fair value of any obligations we assume upon the issuance of a guarantee. We have certain agreements with licensors, licensees, and collaborators that contain indemnification provisions. In such provisions, we typically agree to indemnify the licensor, licensee and collaborator against certain types of third party claims. The maximum amount of the indemnifications is not limited. We accrue for known indemnification issues when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. There were no accruals for expenses related to indemnification issues for any periods presented.

Note 12. Related Party Transactions

AstraZeneca PLC

Pam P. Cheng, a member of our board of directors, joined AstraZeneca PLC as Executive Vice President, Operations and Information Technology in June 2015. We sell biocatalyst products to AstraZeneca PLC and its controlled purchasing agents and contract manufacturers.

We recognized de minimis revenue and $0.3 million of product revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from transactions with AstraZeneca PLC and its controlled purchasing agents and contract manufacturers. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had zero and $0.2 million of accounts receivables from AstraZeneca, PLC, and its controlled purchasing agents and contract manufacturers, respectively.

Note 13. Segment, Geographical and Other Revenue Information

Segment Information

As discussed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," beginning in 2018, we identified our biotherapeutics business as a standalone business segment. Our two reportable business segments as of January 1, 2018, consisted of Performance Enzymes and Novel Biotherapeutics.

We report corporate-related expenses such as legal, accounting, information technology, and other costs that are not otherwise included in our reportable business segments as "Corporate costs." All items not included in income (loss) from operations are excluded from the business segments.

We manage our assets on a total company basis, not by business segment, as the majority of our operating assets are shared or commingled. Our CODM does not review asset information by business segment in assessing performance or allocating resources, and accordingly, we do not report asset information by business segment.

Performance Enzymes

Novel Biotherapeutics

We are also targeting new opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry to discover, improve, and/or develop biotherapeutic drug candidates. We believe that our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology can be used to discover novel biotherapeutic drug candidates that will target human diseases that are in need of improved therapeutic interventions. Similarly, we believe that we can deploy our platform technology to improve specific characteristics of a customer’s pre-existing biotherapeutic drug candidate, such as its activity, stability or immunogenicity. Most notable is our lead program for the potential treatment of PKU in humans. PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder in which the enzyme that converts the essential amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine is deficient. In October 2017, we announced a strategic collaboration with Nestlé Health Science to advance CDX-6114, our own novel orally administrable enzyme therapeutic candidate for the potential treatment of PKU. In July 2018, we announced that we had dosed the first subjects in a first-in-human Phase 1a dose-escalation trial with CDX-6114, which was conducted in Australia. In November 2018, we announced top-line results from the Phase 1a study in healthy volunteers with CDX-6114. In December 2018, Nestlé Health Science became obligated to pay us an additional $1.0 million within 60 days after the achievement of a milestone relating to formulation of CDX-6114. In January 2019, we received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that it had completed its review of our investigational new drug application (“IND”) for CDX-6114 and concluded that we may proceed with the proposed Phase 1b multiple ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the United States. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive license for the global development and commercialization of CDX-6114 for the management of PKU. The exercise of the option triggered a $3 million milestone payment which we recognized in the first quarter of 2019. Upon exercising its option, Nestlé Health Science has assumed all responsibilities for future clinical development and commercialization of CDX-6114, with the exception of the completion of an extension study, CDX - 6114-004, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, all revenues related to the Novel Biotherapeutics segment were generated from our collaborations with Nestlé Health Science.

Our CODM regularly reviews our segments and the approach provided by management for performance evaluation and resource allocation.

Operating expenses that directly support the segment activity are allocated based on segment headcount, revenue contribution or activity of the business units within the segments, based on the corporate activity type provided to the segment. The expense allocation excludes certain corporate costs that are separately managed from the segments. This provides the CODM with more meaningful segment profitability reporting to support operating decisions and allocate resources.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

Platform Technology Transfer and License Agreement

In May 2019, we entered into a Platform Technology Transfer and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”). The Agreement allows Novartis to use Codexis’ proprietary CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology (the “CodeEvolver Platform Technology”) in the field of human healthcare. Under the Agreement, we will transfer the CodeEvolver Platform Technology to Novartis over approximately 20 months starting with the date on which we commence the technology transfer (the “Technology Transfer Period”). As a part of this technology transfer, our company will provide to Novartis Codexis’ proprietary enzymes, proprietary protein engineering protocols and methods, and proprietary software algorithms. In addition, teams of Codexis and Novartis scientists will participate in technology training sessions and collaborative research projects at Codexis’ laboratories in Redwood City, California and at a designated Novartis laboratory in Basel, Switzerland. Upon completion of technology transfer, Novartis will have the CodeEvolver Platform Technology installed at its designated laboratory.

Novartis will pay Codexis up to $14 million over approximately the next 22 months, $5 million of which will be paid shortly after the Effective Date of the Agreement, and an additional $4 million of which is subject to satisfactory completion of the first technology transfer milestone and $5 million of which is subject to satisfactory completion of the second technology transfer milestone. In consideration for the continued disclosure and license of improvements to the Codexis technology and materials during a multi-year period that begins on the conclusion of the Technology Transfer Period (“Improvements Term”), Novartis will pay Codexis annual payments which amount to an additional $8 million. Codexis also has the potential to receive quantity-dependent, usage payments for each API that is manufactured by Novartis using one or more enzymes that have been developed or are in development using the CodeEvolver Platform Technology during the period that begins on the conclusion of the Technology Transfer Period and ends on the expiration date of the last to expire licensed patent. These product-related usage payments, if any, will be paid by Novartis to Codexis for each quarter that Novartis manufactures API using a CodeEvolver^®-developed enzyme. The usage payments will be based on the total volume of API produced using the CodeEvolver^®-developed enzyme. These usage payments can begin in the clinical stage, and will extend throughout the commercial life of each API.

Commercial Agreement

In April 2019, we entered into a multi-year commercial agreement with Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLC (“Tate & Lyle”) under which Tate & Lyle has received an exclusive license to use a suite of Codexis novel performance enzymes in the manufacture of Tate & Lyle’s zero-calorie stevia sweetener, TASTEVA^® M, and other stevia products. Under the agreement, Codexis will supply Tate & Lyle with its requirements for these enzymes over a multiple year period.

Business Overview

Our approach to developing commercially viable biocatalytic manufacturing processes begins by conceptually designing the most cost-effective and practical process for a targeted product. We then develop optimized protein catalysts to enable that process design using our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology. Engineered protein catalyst candidates - many thousands for each protein engineering project - are then rapidly screened and validated in high throughput screening under relevant manufacturing operating conditions. This approach results in an optimized protein catalyst enabling cost-efficient processes that typically are relatively simple to run in conventional manufacturing equipment. This also allows for the efficient technical transfer of our process to our manufacturing partners.

pharmaceutical companies, use our technology, products and services in their manufacturing processes and process development.

We have also begun using the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform to develop early stage, novel biotherapeutic product candidates, both for our customers and for our own business, most notably our lead program for the potential treatment of phenylketonuria ("PKU") in humans. PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder in which the enzyme that converts the essential amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine is deficient. In October 2017, we entered into a Global Development, Option and License Agreement (the "Nestlé Agreement") with Nestec Ltd. ("Nestlé Health Science"), to advance CDX-6114, our enzyme biotherapeutic product candidate for the potential treatment of PKU. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize CDX-6114.

We are also using our technology to develop enzymes for customers using next generation sequencing ("NGS") and polymerase chain reaction ("PCR/qPCR") for in vitro molecular diagnostic and genomic research applications. Our first enzyme for this application is a DNA ligase which we began marketing to customers in 2018.

Business Segments

We manage our business as two business segments: Performance Enzymes and Novel Biotherapeutics.

Performance Enzymes

Novel Biotherapeutics

notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that it had completed its review of our investigational new drug application (“IND”) for CDX-6114 and concluded that we may proceed with the proposed Phase 1b multiple ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the United States. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sub-licensable license for the global development and commercialization of CDX-6114 for the management of PKU. As a result of the option exercise, we earned a milestone and recognized $3.0 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2019. Upon exercising its option, Nestlé Health Science has assumed all responsibilities for future clinical development and commercialization of CDX-6114, with the exception of the completion of an extension study, CDX - 6114-004, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019.

For further description of our business segments, see Note 13, "Segment, Geographical and Other Revenue Information," in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations Overview

Revenues increased to $15.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher product revenue. Product revenue for the first quarter of 2019 increased by $1.8 million to $8.0 million from $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher customer demand for enzymes for both generic and branded products.

Research and development revenue decreased by $0.3 million to $7.6 million from $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to recognition of a functional license to Merck in the prior year and prior year completion of services to Tate & Lyle for their sweetener product. The revenue recognition of a functional license fee from Nestlé Health Science partially offset the decrease in research and development revenue.

Product gross margins were 45% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 38% in the same period in 2018, due to improved sales mix. Our profit margins are affected by many factors including the costs of internal and third-party fixed and variable costs, including materials and supplies, labor, facilities and other overhead costs. Profit margin data are used as a management performance measure to provide additional information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated basis.

Research and development expense increased by $0.8 million, or 12%, to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with higher headcount, higher allocable expenses, increases in lab supplies and stock compensation offset by lower outside services.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $0.7 million, or 9%, to $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with facilities and headcount, higher consultant fees and stock compensation, which were partially offset by decreases in allocable expenses, lower outside services and accounting fees.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $5.1 million, representing a net loss of $0.09 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $4.7 million, representing a net loss of $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net loss for the first quarter of 2019 over the same period of the prior year is primarily related to higher operating expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.7 million to $47.3 million as of March 31, 2019 compared to $53.0 million as of December 31, 2018. Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. We believe that based on our current level of operations, our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will provide adequate funds for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

In June 2017, we entered into a loan and security agreement that allows us to borrow up to $10.0 million under a term loan, and up to $5.0 million under a revolving credit facility with 80% of certain eligible accounts receivable as a borrowing base (the "Credit Facility"). Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our personal property other than our intellectual property. In September 2018, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility whereby the draw period on the term debt was extended to September 30, 2019. In January 2019, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Facility to allow for Codexis to obtain a letter of credit of up to $1.1 million to secure its obligations under the Lease with MetLife. We may draw on the Term Debt at any time prior to September 30, 2019, subject to customary conditions for funding including, among others, that no event of default exists. As of March 31, 2019, no amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the covenants for the Credit Facility. See Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Below is an overview of our results of operations by business segments:

Performance Enzymes

Revenues decreased by $0.6 million, or 6%, to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the inclusion of a functional license to Merck and research service revenue for Tate & Lyle in the year-ago period partially offset by an increase in product revenue with higher customer demand for enzymes for both generic and branded products.

Product gross margins were 45% in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 38% in the corresponding period in 2018 due to improved sales mix.

Research and development expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 12%, to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower outside services.

Selling, general and administrative expense was flat at $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower allocable costs offset by an increase in facilities expense.

Novel Biotherapeutics

Revenues increased by $2.2 million, or 66%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to revenue recognition of a functional license fee from Nestlé Health Science partially offset by lower CDX-6114 development service revenues.

Research and development expense increased by $1.4 million, or 72%, to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with higher headcount partially offset by lower outside services.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $0.4 million, or 254%, to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to increases in costs related to higher headcount, outside services and stock compensation.

GSK Platform Technology Transfer, Collaboration and License Agreement

In July 2014, we entered into a CodeEvolver^® protein engineering platform technology transfer collaboration and license agreement (the "GSK CodeEvolver^®Agreement") with GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we granted GSK a non-exclusive license to use the CodeEvolver^®protein engineering platform technology to develop novel enzymes for use in the manufacture of GSK's pharmaceutical and health care products.

Merck Platform Technology Transfer and License Agreement

In August 2015, we entered into a CodeEvolver^® platform technology transfer collaboration and license agreement (the "Merck CodeEvolver^®Agreement") with Merck, Sharp & Dohme ("Merck"), which allows Merck to use the CodeEvolver^®protein engineering technology platform in the field of human and animal healthcare.

We have the potential to receive payments of up to a maximum of $15.0 million for each commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") that is manufactured by Merck using one or more novel enzymes developed by Merck using the CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform. The API payments, which are currently not recognized as revenue, are based on quantity of API developed and manufactured by Merck and will be recognized as usage-based royalties.

Global Development, Option and License Agreement and Strategic Collaboration Agreement

In January 2019, we received notice from the FDA that it had completed its review of our IND for CDX-6114 and that it had concluded that we may proceed with the proposed Phase 1b multiple ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the United States. In February 2019, Nestlé Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sub-licensable license for the global development and commercialization of CDX-6114 for the management of PKU which triggered a payment of $3.0 million to us. We recognized revenue of $3.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2019 as research and development fees. Upon exercising its option, Nestlé Health Science has assumed all responsibilities for future clinical development and commercialization of CDX-6114, with the exception of the completion of an extension study, CDX-6114-004, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019. Other potential payments from Nestlé Health Science to us under the Nestlé Agreement include (i) development and approval milestones of up to $85.0 million, (ii) sales-based milestones of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate, which aggregate amount is achievable if net sales exceed $1.0 billion in a single year, and (iii) tiered royalties, at percentages ranging from the middle single digits to low double-digits, of net sales of product.

Strategic Collaboration Agreement

In April 2018, we entered into the Porton Agreement with Porton to license key elements of Codexis’ biocatalyst technology for use in Porton’s global custom intermediate and API development and manufacturing business. Under the Porton Agreement, we are eligible to receive annual collaboration fees and research and development revenues. We received an initial collaboration fee of $0.5 million within 30 days of the effective date of the agreement and as of December 31, 2018, we completed the technical transfer. We recognized no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 as research and development revenue. We have the potential to receive performance payments based on products produced by Porton using our company's technology under the license agreement.

Revenues

Our revenues are comprised of product revenue and research and development revenue as follows:


•	Product revenue consist of sales of protein catalysts, pharmaceutical intermediates, and Codex^® Biocatalyst Panels and Kits.


•	Research and development revenue include license, technology access and exclusivity fees, research services fees, milestone payments, royalties, optimization and screening fees.

The following table shows the amounts of our product revenue and research and development revenue from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,				Change
(In Thousands)	2019		2018		$			%
Product revenue	$	7,988	$	6,163	$	1,825		30%
Research and development revenue	7,595		7,879		(284		)	(4)%
Total revenues	$	15,583	$	14,042	$	1,541		11%

Revenues typically fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the variability in our customers' manufacturing schedules and the timing of our customers' clinical trials. In addition, we have limited internal capacity to manufacture enzymes. As a result, we are dependent upon the performance and capacity of third party manufacturers for the commercial scale manufacturing of the enzymes used in our pharmaceutical and fine chemicals business.

We accept purchase orders for deliveries covering periods from one day up to approximately one year from the date on which the order is placed. However, a majority of the purchase orders can be revised or cancelled by the customer without penalty. Considering these industry practices and our experience, we do not believe the total of customer purchase orders outstanding (backlog) provides meaningful information that can be relied on to predict actual sales for future periods.

Total revenues increased by $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher product revenue.

Product revenue increased by $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher customer demand for enzymes for both generic and branded products.

Research and development revenue decreased by $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 primarily due to the recognition of a functional license provided to Merck in the prior year and lower development revenue from Tate & Lyle resulting from the prior year completion of the development work for their sweetener product. The recognition of functional license fee revenue from Nestlé Health Science partially offset the decrease in research and development revenue.

Cost and Operating Expenses

Our cost and operating expenses are comprised of cost of product revenue, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense. The following table shows the amounts of our cost of product revenue, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,				Change
(In Thousands)	2019		2018		$		%

Total costs and operating expenses	$	20,822	$	18,749	$	2,073	11%

Cost of Product Revenue and Product Gross Margin

Our revenues from product revenue are derived entirely from our Performance Enzymes segment. Revenues from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment are from collaborative research and development activities and not from product revenue.

The following table shows the amounts of our product revenue, cost of product revenue, product gross profit and product gross margin from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,				Change
(In Thousands)	2019		2018		$		%
Product revenue	$	7,988	$	6,163	$	1,825	30%

Product gross profit	$	3,597	$	2,338	$	1,259	54%
Product gross margin (%)	45%		38%

Cost of product revenue comprises both internal and third-party fixed and variable costs, including materials and supplies, labor, facilities and other overhead costs associated with our product revenue.

Product gross margins were 45% in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 38% in the corresponding periods in 2018 due to improved sales mix.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for internal projects as well as collaborative research and development activities. These costs primarily consist of (i) employee-related costs, which include salaries and other personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), (ii) various allocable expenses, which include occupancy-related costs, supplies, and depreciation of facilities and laboratory equipment, and (iii) external costs. Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred.

Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 12%, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to an increase in costs associated with higher headcount, higher facilities expenses, increases in lab supplies and stock compensation offset by lower outside services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs, which include salaries and other personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), hiring and training costs, consulting and outside services expenses (including audit and legal costs), marketing costs, building lease costs, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to an increase in costs associated with facilities and headcount, higher consultant fees and stock compensation, which were partially offset by decreases in facilities expenses, lower outside services and accounting fees.

Interest Income and Other Expense



	Three months ended March 31,						Change
(In Thousands)	2019			2018			$		%
Interest income	$	231		$	71		$	160	225%
Other expense, net	(125		)	(60		)	65		108%
Total other income (expense)	$	106		$	11		$	95	864%

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018 primarily due to higher interest rates on higher levels of cash and cash equivalents.

Other Expense

Other expense increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to an unrealized loss of $0.1 million related to our investment in CO₂ Solutions and expenses due to fluctuations in foreign currency.

Provision for and Benefit from Income Taxes

We recognized an income tax provision of $3 thousand and income tax benefit of $2 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in income tax provision was due to the release of uncertain tax positions related to foreign interest and penalties. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not that the majority of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net loss

The net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $5.1 million, representing a net loss of $0.09 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $4.7 million, representing a net loss of $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily related to higher operating expenses.

Research and development expense in the Performance Enzymes segment decreased $0.6 million, or 12%, to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower outside services.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the Performance Enzymes segment increased by $5 thousand, or 0%, to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower allocable costs offset by an increase in facilities.

Research and development expense in the Novel Biotherapeutics segment increased by $1.4 million, or 72%, to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in biotherapeutics projects and an increase of costs associated with higher headcount partially offset by lower outside services.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the Novel Biotherapeutics segment increased by $0.4 million, or 254%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs related to higher headcount, outside services and stock compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the measurement of our ability to meet working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures. We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash generated from operations, stock option exercises and public offerings of our common stock. We also have the ability to borrow up to $15.0 million under our Credit Facility. We actively manage our cash usage and investment of liquid cash to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our working capital needs. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. banks, and our foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short-term operating expenses.

The following tables summarize our cash and cash equivalents and working capital as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as well as our statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:



(In Thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	47,322	$	53,039
Working capital	$	45,060	$	50,085



	Three months ended March 31,

Net cash used in financing activities	(2,082		)	(2,764		)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(5,378	)	$	(6,965	)

We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations as we continue to invest in key technology development projects and improvements to our CodeEvolver^® protein engineering technology platform, and expand our business development and collaborations with new customers. Our cash flows from operations will continue to be affected principally by sales and gross margins from licensing our technology to major pharmaceutical companies, product revenue and collaborative research and development services provided to customers, as well as our headcount costs, primarily in research and development. Our primary source of cash flows from operating activities is cash receipts from licensing our technology to major pharmaceutical companies, and our customers for purchases of products and/or collaborative research and development services. Our largest uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, rent payments, inventory purchases to support our product revenue and non-payroll research and development costs.

We are eligible to earn milestone and other contingent payments for the achievement of defined collaboration objectives and certain royalty payments under our collaboration agreements. Our ability to earn these milestone and contingent payments and the timing of achieving these milestones is primarily dependent upon the outcome of our collaborators’ research and development activities and is uncertain at this time.

We are actively collaborating with new and existing customers in the pharmaceutical and food industries. We believe that we can utilize our current products and services, and develop new products and services, to increase our revenues and gross margins in future periods.

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $47.3 million and $15.0 million available to borrow under the Credit Facility. Our liquidity is dependent upon our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operating activities and the continued availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We believe that based on our current level of operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents will provide adequate funds for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

However, we may need additional capital if our current plans and assumptions change. Our need for additional capital will depend on many factors, including the financial success of our business, the spending required to develop and commercialize new and existing products, the effect of any acquisitions of other businesses, technologies or facilities that we may make or develop in the future, our spending on new market opportunities, and the potential costs for the filing, prosecution, enforcement and defense of patent claims, if necessary. If our capital resources are insufficient to meet our capital requirements, and we are unable to enter into or maintain collaborations with partners that are able or willing to fund our development efforts or commercialize any products that we develop or enable, we will have to raise additional funds to continue the development of our technology and products and complete the commercialization of products, if any, resulting from our technologies. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If future financings involve the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders would suffer dilution. If we raise debt financing or enter into additional credit facilities, we may be subject to restrictive covenants that limit our ability to conduct our business. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional funds on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If we fail to raise sufficient funds and fail to generate sufficient revenues to achieve planned gross margins and to control operating costs, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of strategic opportunities, develop products or technologies, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited. If this happens, we may be forced to delay or terminate research or development programs or the commercialization of products resulting from our technologies, curtail or cease operations or obtain funds through collaborative and licensing arrangements

that may require us to relinquish commercial rights, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to successfully execute our business plan or continue our business.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $2.9 million net for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which resulted from a net loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation of $0.3 million, amortization expense of $0.8 million and stock-based compensation of $2.1 million. Additional cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was $1.0 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included an increase of $1.1 million in accounts receivable, a decrease of $1.0 million of accounts payable, and a decrease of $2.9 million in deferred revenue.

Cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million net for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which resulted from a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million and stock-based compensation of $2.0 million. Additional cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was $1.7 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included decreases of $3.6 million in accounts receivable due mainly to collections from customers and $5.9 million increase in deferred revenue, primarily due to recent recognition of revenue under ASC 606.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million and $16 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was primarily attributable to purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 which represents $0.8 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options offset by $2.8 million for taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.

Cash used in financing activities was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 which included $0.4 million proceeds from exercises of stock options offset by $3.1 million for taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.

Contractual Obligations

⁽¹⁾ Represents future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases in effect as of March 31, 2019 for our facilities in Redwood City, California. The minimum lease payments above do not include common area maintenance charges or real estate taxes. In addition, amounts have not been reduced by future minimum sublease rentals of $0.7 million to be received under non-cancellable subleases.

Other Commitments

We have other commitments related to supply and service arrangements entered into the normal course of business. For additional information about other commitments, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Future minimum payments reflect amounts those obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future period and include obligations subject to risk of cancellation by us (in thousands):



Other Commitment Agreement Type	Agreement Date	Future Minimum Payment
Manufacture and supply agreement with expected future payment date of December 2022	April 2016	$	1,310
Service agreement for clinical trial	December 2017	455
Total other commitments		$	1,765

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a credit facility consisting of term loans totaling up to $10.0 million, and advances under a revolving line of credit totaling up to $5.0 million with an accounts receivable borrowing base of 80% of certain eligible accounts receivable. In September 2018, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility whereby the draw period on the term debt was extended to September 30, 2019, subject to customary conditions for funding including, among others, that no event of default exists. The credit facility terminates October 1, 2022. Term debt loans bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.60%. Advances under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 1.00% above the prime rate and (ii) 5.00%. No amounts were drawn down under the credit facility as of March 31, 2019. For additional information about our credit facility, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019, except for our critical accounting policies and estimates on leases as a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASC 842"), which is detailed below.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which replaces prior lease guidance ("ASC 840"). This guidance establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease obligations on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and effective date method.

Contract

A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or

equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A period of time may be described in terms

of the amount of use of an identified asset.

Operating lease and Finance lease

The FASB decided that lessees should apply a dual model. Under the FASB model, lessees will classify a lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease, while a lessor will classify a lease as either a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease. A lease may meet the lessee finance lease criteria even when control of the underlying asset is not transferred to the lessee (e.g. when the lessor obtains a residual value guarantee from a party other than the lessee). Such leases should be classified as a direct finance lease by the lessor and as an operating lease by the lessee. The dual model does not affect a lessee’s initial recognition of assets and liabilities on its balance sheet, but differentiates how a lessee should recognize lease expense in the income statement.

Discount Rate

Lessees and lessors should discount lease payments at the lease commencement date using the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not readily available, a lessee should use its incremental borrowing rate.

Lease and nonlease components

We made an accounting policy election to not separate lease and nonlease components. Therefore, a reallocation for nonlease components is not required in transition.

Fixed lease payments

Fixed lease payments are payments required under the lease. They can be either a fixed amount paid at various intervals in a lease or they can be payments that change over time at known amounts. The exercise price of a purchase option should be included in the calculation of lease payments for purposes of lease classification and measurement when exercise is reasonably certain.

Variable lease payments

Variable lease payments are payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate should be included in the calculation of lease payments when classifying a lease and in the measurement of the lease obligations. Variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or a rate should not be included in lease payments for purposes of classification and measurement of the lease, unless those payments are in substance fixed lease payments.

Leasehold improvements

Payments made by lessees for improvements to the underlying asset should be recorded as prepaid rent and included in fixed lease payments if the payment relates to an asset of the lessor.

Lease incentives

Lease incentives are included in the calculation of consideration in the contract, which must be allocated when multiple components exist. However, irrespective of the allocation, lease incentives always reduce the consideration in the contract for a lessee and lessor.



ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Management

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other factors. These market risk exposures are disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a credit facility agreement consisting of term loans totaling up to $10.0 million, and advances under a revolving line of credit totaling up to $5.0 million. Draws on the term debt bear interest at a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.60%. Advances under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 1.00% above the prime rate and (ii) 5.00%. Increases in these variable interest rates will increase our future interest expense and decrease our results of operations and cash flows. In September 2018, the draw period on the term debt was extended to September 30, 2019. No amounts were drawn down under the credit facility as of March 31, 2019. Our exposure to interest rates risk relates to our 2017 Credit Facility with variable interest rates, where an increase in interest rates may result in higher borrowing costs. Since we have no outstanding borrowings under our 2017 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019, the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have any impact on our interest expense.

Equity Price Risk

As described in Note 6, "Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities" and Note 7, "Fair Value Measurements" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have an investment in common shares of CO₂ Solution Inc., a company based in Quebec, Canada (“CO₂ Solutions”), whose shares are publicly traded in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange. As of March 31, 2019, the fair value of our investment in CO₂ Solutions' common stock was $0.5 million.

This investment is exposed to fluctuations in both the market price of CO₂Solutions' common shares and changes in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar. The effect of a 10% adverse change in the market price of CO₂Solution's common shares as of March 31, 2019 would have been a loss of approximately $48 thousand, recognized as a component of other expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The effect of a 10% unfavorable change in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar as of March 31, 2019 would have been a loss of approximately $48 thousand, recognized as a component of other expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.



ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this review, our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our lease contracts and properly assessed the impact of ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", to facilitate its adoption on January 1, 2019. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of this new standard.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, even if determined effective and no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives to prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
