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

The Company accounts for its investments in each of its six strategic joint ventures and for its investments in Thrive Agrobiotics, Inc. ("Thrive Agrobiotics"), Exotech Bio, Inc. ("Exotech Bio"), and Relieve Genetics, Inc. ("Relieve Genetics") using the equity method of accounting since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over
12

Variable Interest Entities

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, stock options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Segment Information
The Company has determined that it operates in one segment. The Company applies its technologies to create products and services which may be either sold directly to customers or developed through collaboration with third parties. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $4,817 and $3,877, respectively, of long-lived assets in foreign countries.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). The provisions of ASU 2016-09 simplify various aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) - Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting ("ASU 2016-07"). The provisions of ASU 2016-07 eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an adjustment must be made to the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The provisions of ASU 2016-02 set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a similar manner as under existing guidance for operating leases today. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous lease standard, Topic 840 Leases. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). The provisions of ASU 2016-01 make targeted improvements to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information, including certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial
14
instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes ("ASU 2015-17"). The provisions of ASU 2015-17 simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent on a classified balance sheet. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 and applied it prospectively, and there was no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). The provisions of ASU 2015-11 provide guidance for simplifying the calculation for subsequent measurement of inventory measured using the first-in-first-out or average cost methods. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance was originally effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"), which deferred the effective date of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2018. In March and April 2016, the FASB clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent, identifying performance obligations, and licensing by issuing ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations ("ASU 2016-08") and ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10"). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

6. Short-term and Long-term Investments
The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. The following table summarizes the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and fair value of available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2016:
Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Aggregate Fair Value | ||||||||||||
U.S. government debt securities | $ | 189,903 | $ | 87 | $ | (19 | ) | $ | 189,971 | ||||||

For more information on the Company's method for determining the fair value of its assets, see Note 2 – "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
24
The estimated fair value of available-for-sale investments classified by their contractual maturities as of March 31, 2016 was:
Due within one year | $ | 114,659 | |
After one year through two years | 75,584 | ||
Total | $ | 190,243 |
Changes in market interest rates and bond yields cause certain investments to fall below their cost basis, resulting in unrealized losses on investments. The unrealized losses of the Company's investments were primarily a result of unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these investments and have been in a loss position for less than 12 months.
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. When evaluating its investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the Company's ability and intent to hold the security and whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its cost basis.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, other accrued liabilities, and related party payables approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including the items for which the fair value option has been elected, at March 31, 2016:
Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | March 31, 2016 | ||||||||||||

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including the items for which the fair value option has been elected, at December 31, 2015:
Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | December 31, 2015 | ||||||||||||

Other | — | 405 | — | 405 | |||||||||||
Total | $ | 65,850 | $ | 225,912 | $ | — | $ | 291,762 |
The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 1 assets in the tables above is based on observable market data as these equity securities are publicly-traded. The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 2 short-term and long-term investments in the tables above is based on professional pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 2 equity securities in the tables above is based on the quoted market price of the publicly-traded security, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability.
25
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The carrying values of the Company's long term debt approximates fair value due to the length of time to maturity and/or the existence of interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. Significant financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis were $3,660 at March 31, 2016. The Company accounted for the contingent consideration liability to the members of Old EnviroFlight by recording its fair value as a liability on the date of the asset acquisition (Note 4). At the date of the acquisition, the regulatory and commercial milestones were valued using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model using discount rates reflecting the time value of money and additional risk inherent in meeting the milestones. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, and those changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. There were no significant changes to the fair value of this liability since the acquisition date through March 31, 2016. Financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis were not significant at December 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding. The amount available under the line of credit is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory up to the maximum principal amount. The line of credit is collateralized by certain of Trans Ova's assets and contains certain restricted covenants that include maintaining minimum tangible net worth, maximum allowable annual capital expenditures and working capital. Trans Ova was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2016.
Exemplar has a $700 revolving line of credit with American State Bank which matures on November 1, 2016. The line of credit bears interest at 4.50% per annum. As of March 31, 2016, there was an outstanding balance of $536.

27
Trans Ova has a note payable to American State Bank which matures in April 2033 and has an outstanding principal balance of $5,517 as of March 31, 2016. Trans Ova pays monthly installments of $39, which includes interest at 3.95%. The note payable is collateralized by certain of Trans Ova's real estate and non-real estate assets.
Trans Ova has a note payable to the Iowa Economic Development Authority which matures in July 2016 and has an outstanding principal balance of $366 as of March 31, 2016. Trans Ova pays quarterly installments of $183. The note payable is collateralized by certain of Trans Ova's real estate and project assets financed.
Exemplar has notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $480 as of March 31, 2016. Exemplar pays monthly installments ranging from $1 to $4 with interest rates ranging from 0% to 3.00%. These notes mature from September 2018 to May 2020 and are collateralized by certain of Exemplar's real estate or letters of credit of certain of its members.
AquaBounty has a royalty-based financing grant from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency ("ACOA"), a Canadian government agency, to provide funding of a research and development project. The total amount available under the award was $2,215, which AquaBounty claimed over a five year period. All amounts claimed by AquaBounty must be repaid in the form of a 10% royalty on any products commercialized out of this research and development project until fully paid. Because the timing of commercialization is subject to additional regulatory considerations, the timing of repayment is uncertain. As of the acquisition date in March 2013, AquaBounty had claimed $1,952 of the available funds and this amount was recorded at its acquisition date fair value of $1,107. The Company accretes the difference of $845 between the face value of amounts drawn and the acquisition date fair value over the expected period of repayment. Since the acquisition date, AquaBounty has claimed the remaining balance available under the grant, resulting in total long term debt of $1,945 as of March 31, 2016.
Future maturities of long term debt are as follows:
2016 | $ | 798 | |
2017 | 384 | ||
2018 | 527 | ||
2019 | 342 | ||
2020 | 311 | ||
2021 | 311 | ||
Thereafter | 3,888 | ||
Total | $ | 6,561 |
The AquaBounty royalty-based financing grant is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing of repayment.
12. Income Taxes
Tax provisions for interim periods are calculated using an estimate of actual taxable income or loss for the respective period, rather than estimating the Company's annual effective income tax rate, as the Company is currently unable to reliably estimate its income for the full year. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had U.S. taxable loss of approximately $9,900, for which no income tax benefit was recognized. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized $93 of current foreign income tax benefit. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had U.S. taxable loss of approximately $26,600, and no income tax benefit was recognized. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded deferred tax benefit of $2,188. There was $795 of deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company's net deferred tax assets, excluding certain deferred tax liabilities totaling $19,777, are offset by a valuation allowance due to the Company's history of net losses combined with an inability to confirm recovery of the tax benefits of the Company's losses and other net deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
At March 31, 2016, the Company has loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $258,600 available to offset future taxable income and federal and state research and development tax credits of approximately $6,770, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382. These carryforwards will begin to expire in
28
2022. Of these loss carryforwards, approximately $32,100 relates to benefits from stock compensation deductions that will be recorded as a component of paid-in capital when realized. The Company's direct foreign subsidiaries have foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $118,800, most of which do not expire.
13. Shareholders' Equity
Components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:
March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
Unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 68 | $ | (519 | ) | ||
Foreign currency translation adjustments | (11,503 | ) | (12,233 | ) | |||

Intrexon Stock Option Plans
In April 2008, Intrexon adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan") for employees and nonemployees pursuant to which Intrexon's Board of Directors may grant share based awards, including stock options, to officers, key employees and nonemployees. Upon the effectiveness of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), no new awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan. As of March 31, 2016, there were 1,154,315 stock options outstanding under the 2008 Plan.
Intrexon adopted the 2013 Plan for employees and nonemployees pursuant to which Intrexon's Board of Directors may grant share based awards, including stock options and shares of common stock, to employees, officers, consultants, advisors and nonemployee directors. The 2013 Plan became effective upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering in August 2013, and as of March 31, 2016, there were 13,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan, of which 9,355,773 stock options were outstanding and 2,421,499 shares were available for grant. In April 2016, Intrexon's Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval at Intrexon's annual meeting in June 2016, an increase of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested awards at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $103,746 and $113,655, respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Intrexon currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award exercises.
In October 2015, the Compensation Committee and the independent members of Intrexon's Board of Directors approved a compensation arrangement whereby the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") would receive a monthly salary. Previously, the CEO did not receive compensation for his services as an employee of the Company other than through his participation in the Company's Annual Executive Incentive Plan which became effective January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the compensation agreement, the CEO receives a base salary of $200 per month payable in fully vested shares of Intrexon common stock with such shares subject to a three-year lock-up on resale. The monthly number of shares of common stock is calculated based on the closing price on the last trading day of each month and the shares are issued pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the "RSU Agreement") which was executed between Intrexon and the CEO pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan. The RSU Agreement became effective in November 2015, has an initial term of 12 months, and is renewable annually at the discretion of Intrexon's Board of Directors. The fair value of the shares issued as compensation for services is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and totaled $471.

As of March 31, 2016, there were 5,607,000 options, which are exercisable into shares of AquaBounty common stock, outstanding under the AquaBounty 2006 Equity Incentive Plan ("AquaBounty Plan") at a weighted average exercise price of $0.26 per share of which 5,090,791 were exercisable. As of December 31, 2015, there were 5,382,000 options outstanding under the AquaBounty Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.26 per share of which 4,320,333 were exercisable.
15. License Agreement
In January 2015, the Company and ZIOPHARM jointly entered into a license agreement with the University of Texas System Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ("MD Anderson") whereby the Company received an exclusive license to certain research and development technologies owned and licensed by MD Anderson, including technologies relating to novel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, as well as co-licenses and non-exclusive licenses to certain other related technologies. ZIOPHARM received access to these technologies pursuant to the terms of the Company's ECC with ZIOPHARM. The Company issued 2,100,085 shares of its common stock valued at $59,579 to MD Anderson as consideration, which is included in research and development expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Subject to certain exceptions, the license agreement expires on the last to occur of (i) the expiration of all patents licensed thereunder, or (ii) the twentieth anniversary of the date of the license agreement.
30
In connection with the license agreement, the Company, ZIOPHARM, and MD Anderson entered into a research and development agreement which governs certain operational activities between the parties and pursuant to which ZIOPHARM will provide funding for certain research and development activities of MD Anderson for a period of three years, in an amount between $15,000 and $20,000 per year. The Company and ZIOPHARM reimburse MD Anderson for out of pocket expenses for maintaining patents covering the licensed technologies.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases. The equipment leases are renewable at the option of the Company. At March 31, 2016, future minimum lease payments under operating leases having initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:
2016 | $ | 2,459 | |
2017 | 3,775 | ||
2018 | 2,312 | ||
2019 | 2,127 | ||
2020 | 2,179 | ||
2021 | 1,604 | ||
Total | $ | 14,456 |
Rent expense, including other facility expenses, was $2,032 and $2,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Company maintains subleases for certain of its facilities. Rental income under sublease agreements was $335 and $425 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Future rental income is expected to be $210 for 2016 and $36 for 2017.
Contingencies
In March 2012, Trans Ova was named as a defendant in a licensing and patent infringement suit brought by XY, LLC alleging that certain of Trans Ova's activities breach a licensing agreement and infringe on patents that XY, LLC allegedly owns. Trans Ova filed a number of counterclaims in the case. The matter proceeded to a jury trial in January 2016, and in February 2016, the jury determined that XY, LLC and Trans Ova had each breached the licensing agreement and that Trans Ova had infringed the intellectual property of XY, LLC. In April 2016, the court issued its order, entering a jury award of damages to Trans Ova in the amount of $528 and a jury award of damages to XY, LLC in the amount of $6,066, each with prejudgment interest. The order provides for the continuation of Trans Ova's license to XY, LLC's technology, subject to an ongoing royalty for Trans Ova which is subject to a post-judgment motion and potential appeals therefrom. Since the inception of the license, Trans Ova has remitted payments to XY, LLC pursuant to the terms of the original license agreement and has recorded these payments in cost of services in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. For the period from inception of the agreement through March 31, 2016, aggregate royalty and license payments were $3,420, of which $3,009 had not yet been deposited by XY, LLC. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded litigation settlement expense of $4,228, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and represents the excess of the net damages awarded to XY, LLC, including prejudgment interest, over the liability previously recorded by Trans Ova for uncashed checks previously remitted to XY, LLC. The Company and Trans Ova believe they have compelling grounds to overturn the adverse rulings of the order through appellate actions and that, as a result, the amount of damages could be reduced or eliminated. No assurances can be given, however, that such matters will ultimately be ruled in Trans Ova's favor, and XY, LLC may also elect to appeal aspects of the ruling that were in Trans Ova's favor. Moreover, Trans Ova and the Company could elect to enter into a settlement agreement in order to avoid the further costs and uncertainties of litigation, to modify the license to XY, LLC's technologies, or to recover monetary damages related to Trans Ova's antitrust counterclaims.
The Company may become subject to other claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the
31
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
17. Related Party Transactions
Third Security and Affiliates
The Company's CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company is also the manager of Third Security.
In November 2015, Intrexon's Board of Directors approved the execution of a Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Third Security pursuant to which Third Security provides the Company with certain professional, legal, financial, administrative, and other support services necessary to support the Company and its CEO. As consideration for providing these services, Third Security is entitled to a fee of $800 per month to be paid in the form of fully vested shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares of common stock is calculated based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the 15th day of each month. The payments made by the Company under the Services Agreement constitute, in the aggregate, an award under the 2013 Plan and are subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan (Note 14). The Services Agreement has a term of one year, can be terminated by the Company at any time, and may be extended only by agreement of the parties, including approval of a majority of the independent members of Intrexon's Board of Directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 79,870 shares with a value of $2,267 to Third Security as payment for services pursuant to the Services Agreement. In addition to the foregoing Services Agreement, the Company reimburses Third Security for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the Company's behalf and the total expenses incurred by the Company under this arrangement was $46 and $41 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
See also Note 14 regarding compensation arrangements between the Company and its CEO.
Transactions with ECC Parties
In addition to entities controlled by Third Security, any entity in which the Company holds equity securities, including securities received as upfront or milestone consideration, and which also are party to a collaboration with the Company are considered to be related parties.
In conjunction with the ECC with Oragenics, the Company is entitled to, at its election, purchase up to 30% of securities offerings that may be conducted by Oragenics in the future, subject to certain conditions and limitations. In connection with the Company's third ECC with Oragenics ("Oragenics ECC 3") in June 2015, the Company agreed to purchase additional common stock in a qualified financing, as defined in the agreement, during the sixteen months following the effective date of the Oragenics ECC 3 in an amount up to the lesser of (i) the amount that is the proportion of such financing equal to the Company's pro rata equity holdings in Oragenics as of the effective date and (ii) $10,000, subject to certain conditions.
The Company recognized $19,999 and $12,796 of collaboration revenues from related parties in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Other Related Parties
In June 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Harvest, an investment fund sponsored by Harvest Capital Strategies, LLC, and a related party based on ownership in the fund by affiliates of Third Security. Harvest was established to invest in life science research and development opportunities that the Company offers to Harvest. These will be investment proposals that are suitable for pursuit by a start-up venture, characterized by the agreement as "start-up opportunities." For such start-up opportunities, the Company will provide Harvest with exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation. For any opportunities it decides to pursue, Harvest would establish new collaboration entities which would enter into an ECC with the Company in a designated field. The terms of such ECCs would be negotiated between the Company and Harvest. In addition, the agreement provides the Company the right to present to Harvest the opportunity to invest in other ventures, including investment opportunities with respect to the Company's existing collaborations. Any such opportunities would be presented at the Company's discretion on a non-exclusive basis. The agreement with Harvest does not limit the Company's ability to execute other collaborations and joint ventures with third parties. As consideration for providing exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation for start-up opportunities, the Company receives a portion of the management fee collected by the fund sponsor of Harvest. These fees are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and totaled $645 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

19. Subsequent Events
In May 2016, two purported shareholder class action lawsuits, captioned Hoffman v. Intrexon Corporation et al. and Gibrall v. Intrexon Corporation et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock between May 12, 2015 and April 20, 2016 (the "Class Period"). The complaints name as defendants the Company and certain current Company officers (the "Defendants"). The complaints allege, among other things, that, in violation of the federal securities laws, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements in its periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed during the Class Period with respect to the Company's business, operations and prospects. The basis for the plaintiffs' claims derives from the April 21, 2016 report published on the Seeking Alpha financial blog. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Company believes that these putative class action lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors." The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof.
Overview
We believe we are a leader in the field of synthetic biology, an emerging and rapidly evolving discipline that applies engineering principles to biological systems to enable rational, design-based control of cellular function for a specific purpose. Using our suite of proprietary and complementary technologies, we design, build and regulate gene programs, which are DNA sequences that consist of key genetic components. A single gene program or a complex, multi-genic program are fabricated and stored within a DNA vector. Vectors are segments of DNA used as a vehicle to transmit genetic information. DNA vectors can, in turn, be introduced into cells in order to generate a simple or complex cellular system, which are the basic and complex cellular activities that take place within a cell and the interaction of those systems in the greater cellular environment. It is these genetically modified cell systems that can be used to produce biological effector molecules, or be employed directly to enable the development of new and improved products and manufacturing processes across a variety of end markets, including health, food, energy, environment, and consumer. Our synthetic biology capabilities include the ability to precisely control the amount, location and modification of biological molecules to control the function and output of living cells and optimize for desired results at an industrial scale.
We believe that because synthetic biology has applicability across many diverse end markets, we cannot take full advantage of synthetic biology with internal development programs alone. To address this, we have devised our business model to allow us to focus on our core expertise in synthetic biology while bringing many different commercial products to market via collaborations in a broad range of industries or end markets, thus minimizing and leveraging the use of our own capital.
Our business model is built primarily around the formation of exclusive channel collaborations, or ECCs. An ECC is an agreement with a collaborator to develop products based on technologies in a specifically defined field. We seek collaborators that have expertise within a specific industry sector and the commitment to provide resources for the commercialization of products within that industry sector. In our ECCs, we provide expertise in the engineering of gene programs and cellular systems, and our collaborators are responsible for providing market and product development expertise, as well as sales and marketing capabilities.
This business model allows us to leverage our capabilities and capital across numerous product development programs and a broader landscape of end markets than we would be capable of addressing on our own. Our ECC business model also allows us to participate in the potential upside from products that are enabled by our technologies across an extensive range of industries, without the need for us to invest considerable resources in bringing individual products to market. Additionally, the flexibility of the business model allows us to collaborate with a range of counterparts, from small innovative companies to global multinational conglomerates.
Alternatively, we may execute a research collaboration to develop an early-stage program pursuant to which we receive reimbursement for our development costs but the exclusive commercial rights, and related access fees, are deferred until completion of an initial research program.
In certain strategic circumstances, we may enter into a joint venture with a third party collaborator whereby we may contribute access to our technology, cash or both into the joint venture which we will jointly control with our collaborator. Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, we may be required to contribute additional capital to the joint venture, and we may be able to receive a higher financial return than we would normally receive from an ECC to the extent that we and our collaborator are successful in developing one or more products. For a discussion of our joint ventures, see the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 4" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
34
As we consider the broad potential applications of our synthetic biology technologies, we have identified a number of ventures that are already enabling products that benefit from the application of such technology. We believe that the strategic acquisition of certain such companies will allow us to develop and commercialize innovative products and create significant value for us. Our business model therefore includes the acquisition of certain product-focused companies that may leverage our technologies and expertise in order to expand their respective product applications.
As a means to further the development of our business model, in June 2015, we entered into an agreement with Harvest Intrexon Enterprise Fund I, LP, or Harvest, an investment fund sponsored by Harvest Capital Strategies, LLC, and a related party based on ownership in the fund by affiliates of Third Security, LLC, or Third Security. Harvest was established to invest in life science research and development opportunities that we offer to Harvest. These will be investment proposals that are suitable for pursuit by a start-up venture, characterized by the agreement as "start-up opportunities." For such start-up opportunities, we will provide Harvest with exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation. For any opportunities it decides to pursue, Harvest would establish new collaboration entities which would enter into an ECC with us in a designated field. The terms of such ECCs would be negotiated between us and Harvest. In addition, the agreement provides us the right to present to Harvest the opportunity to invest in other ventures, including investment opportunities with respect to our existing collaborations. Any such opportunities would be presented at our discretion on a non-exclusive basis. The agreement with Harvest does not limit our ability to execute other collaborations and joint ventures with third parties. As consideration for providing exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation for start-up opportunities, we receive a portion of the management fee collected by the fund sponsor of Harvest.
Pursuant to our business model, we may receive equity in lieu of cash for technology access fees and milestones and also may participate in capital raises to allow earlier-stage collaborators to focus their resources on product development. However, when such a collaborator develops greater operational or financial resources, its shares become a financial asset within Intrexon that is independent of our operational or collaborative purposes. In June 2015, we provided our shareholders the opportunity to participate directly in the value generated by our ECC with ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc., or ZIOPHARM, by distributing all of our shares in ZIOPHARM to our shareholders as a special stock dividend.
Mergers, acquisitions, and technology in-licensing
We may augment our suite of proprietary technologies through mergers or acquisitions of technologies which then become available to new or existing collaborators. Among other things, these technologies are generally complementary to our existing technologies and also meet our desired return on investment and other economic criteria. In certain cases, such technologies may already be applied in the production of products or services and in these cases, we may seek to expand the breadth or efficacy of such products or services through the use of our technologies. Other than our acquisition of all of the assets of Old EnviroFlight, as described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no mergers, acquisitions or significant technology in-licensing activities in 2016. For a discussion of our 2015 mergers, acquisitions and significant technology in-licensing activities, see the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Financial overview
We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. We have never generated any royalty revenues from sales of products by our collaborators and may never be profitable. Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries require regulatory approval and/or commercial scale-up before they may commence significant product sales and operating profits.
We expect our future capital requirements will be substantial, particularly as we continue to develop our business and expand our synthetic biology technology platform. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and cash expected to be received through our current collaborators and for sales of products and services provided by our consolidated subsidiaries will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Sources of revenue
We derive our revenues through the execution of ECCs and license and collaboration agreements for the development and commercialization of products enabled by our technologies. Generally, the terms of our collaborations provide that we receive some or all of the following: (i) technology access fees upon signing; (ii) reimbursements of costs incurred by us for our research and development and/or manufacturing efforts related to the specific application provided for in the collaboration;
35
(iii) milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial activities; and (iv) royalties on sales of products arising from the collaboration.
Our technology access fees and milestone payments may be in the form of cash or securities of the collaborator. Our collaborations contain multiple arrangements and we typically defer revenues from the technology access fees and milestone payments received and recognize such revenues over the expected life of our technology platform using a straight-line approach. We are also entitled to sublicensing revenues in those situations where our collaborators choose to license our technologies to other parties.
From time to time, we and certain collaborators may cancel the agreements, relieving us of any further performance obligations under the agreement. When no further performance obligations are required of us under an agreement, we recognize any remaining deferred revenue.
We also generate products and services revenue through sales of advanced reproductive technologies, including bovine embryos derived from our embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization processes and from genetic preservation and sexed semen processes and applications of such processes to other livestock, as well as sales of livestock used in production. Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered or delivery has occurred such that risk of loss has passed to the customer, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection from the customer is reasonably assured.
In future periods, our revenues will depend on the number of collaborations to which we are party, the advancement and creation of programs within our collaborations and the extent to which our collaborators bring products enabled by our technologies to market. Our revenues will also depend upon our ability to maintain or improve the volume and pricing of our current product and service offerings and to develop new offerings, including those arising from our acquisitions. Our revenues will also depend upon the ability of AquaBounty to establish successful commercialization of its AquAdvantage® Salmon products since it received regulatory approval in November 2015. Our future revenues may also include additional revenue streams we may acquire through mergers and acquisitions. In light of our limited operating history and experience in consummating new collaborations and also the limited experience with our consolidated subsidiaries, there can be no assurance as to the timing, magnitude and predictability of revenues to which we might be entitled.
Cost of products and services revenues
Cost of products and services revenues includes primarily labor and related costs, drugs and supplies used primarily in the embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization processes, livestock and feed used in production, and facility charges, including rent and depreciation. Fluctuations in the price of livestock and feed have not had a significant impact on our operating margins and no derivative financial instruments are used to mitigate the price risk.
Research and development expenses
We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of:
• | salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in research and development functions; |
• | fees paid to consultants and contract research organizations who perform research on our behalf and under our direction; |
• | costs related to laboratory supplies used in our research and development efforts; |
• | costs related to certain in-licensed technology rights; |
• | depreciation of leasehold improvements and laboratory equipment; |
• | amortization of patents and related technologies acquired in mergers and acquisitions; and |
• | rent and utility costs for our research and development facilities. |
36
We have no individually significant research and development projects and our research and development expenses primarily relate to either the costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our multiple platform technologies, the costs incurred to develop a specific application of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators, or costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our products and services. Research and development expenses, including costs for preclinical or clinical development, incurred for programs we support pursuant to an ECC agreement are typically reimbursed by the collaborator at cost and all other research and development programs may be terminated or otherwise deferred at our discretion. The amount of our research and development expenses may be impacted by, among other things, the number of ECCs and the number and size of programs we may support on behalf of an ECC.
The table below summarizes our research and development expenses incurred to expand or otherwise improve our multiple platform technologies, the costs incurred to develop a specific application of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators and licensees, or costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our products and services for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Other research and development expenses for these periods include indirect salaries and overhead expenses that are not allocated to either expanding or improving our multiple platform technologies, specific applications of our technologies in support of current or prospective collaborators and licensees, or expanding or improving our product and services offerings. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 include a $59.6 million payment in our common stock for an exclusive license to certain technologies owned by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, or MD Anderson, to be used in the expansion and improvement of our platform technologies.
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||
Expansion or improvement of our platform technologies | $ | 2,869 | $ | 64,512 | |||

Other | 5,041 | 4,729 | |||||
Total research and development expenses | $ | 25,856 | $ | 79,307 |
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase as we continue to enter into collaborations and as we expand our offerings across additional market sectors. We believe these increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel in research and development functions, increased costs paid to consultants and contract research organizations and increased costs related to laboratory supplies. Research and development expenses may also increase as a result of ongoing research and development operations which we might assume through mergers and acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for employees in executive, operational, finance, sales and marketing, information technology, legal and corporate communications functions. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses include rent and utilities, insurance, accounting and legal services and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining our intellectual property.
We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to operate as a public company and expand our operations. We believe that these increases will likely include costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and increased fees for business development functions, outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, including costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to public companies. Selling, general and administrative expenses may also increase as a result of ongoing operations which we might assume through mergers and acquisitions.
Other income (expense), net
We hold equity securities received and/or purchased from certain collaborators. Other than investments accounted for using the equity method discussed below, we elected the fair value option to account for our equity securities held in these collaborators. These equity securities are recorded at fair value at each reporting date. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from
37
fair value adjustments are reported as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. As such, we bear the risk that fluctuations in the securities' share prices may significantly impact our results of operations.
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments.
Interest expense pertains to deferred consideration payable to the former members of Trans Ova and long term debt.
As consideration for providing exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation, we receive a portion of the management fee collected by the fund sponsor of Harvest for our obligation to provide Harvest with investment proposals that are suitable for pursuit by a startup. These fees are included in other income.
Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates
Equity in net income or loss of affiliates is our pro-rata share of our equity method investments' operating results, adjusted for accretion of basis difference. We account for investments in our joint ventures and startup entities backed by Harvest using the equity method of accounting since we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating activities of these entities.

Collaboration and licensing revenues increased $9.3 million over the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to (i) the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from our license and collaboration agreement with Ares Trading S.A, or Ares Trading, a subsidiary of the biopharmaceutical business of Merck KGaA, which became effective in May 2015, and from other collaborations signed by us between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016; and (ii) increased research and development services for these collaborations and for the progression of programs or the addition of new programs with previously existing collaborators, including ZIOPHARM, Genopaver, LLC and our joint venture with Intrexon Energy Partners, LLC.
Product revenues and cost of products
Product revenues were $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 4 percent. The decrease primarily relates to a decrease in the quantities of livestock previously used in production and live calves sold due to lower customer demand for these products. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the quantity of pregnant cows sold due to higher customer demand for these products in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Gross margin on product revenues declined for the same period primarily due to a decline in the average sales prices of livestock previously used in production.
Service revenues and cost of services
Service revenues were $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $0.7 million, or 7 percent. The increase relates to an increase in the number of in vitro fertilization cycles performed due to higher customer demand.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses declined $53.4 million, or 67 percent, due primarily to the inclusion in 2015 of a $59.6 million payment in common stock for an exclusive license to certain technologies owned by MD Anderson. This decrease was partially offset by increases in (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for research and development employees, (ii) lab supplies and consultant expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $2.3 million due to (i) an increase in research and development headcount to support new and expanded collaborations and (ii)
39
a full three months of costs for research and development employees assumed in our various 2015 acquisitions. Lab supplies and consultant expenses increased $2.8 million as a result of (i) the progression into the preclinical phase with certain of our collaborators, (ii) the increased level of research and development services provided to our collaborators, and (iii) a full three months of costs incurred as a result of our 2015 acquisitions. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.9 million primarily as a result of (i) incurring a full three months of depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in our 2015 acquisitions, and (ii) amortization related to AquaBounty's intangible assets upon regulatory approval in November 2015.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses increased $15.3 million, or 55 percent, over the three months ended March 31, 2015. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for SG&A employees increased $6.0 million due to (i) increased headcount to support our corporate operations and increased stock compensation expenses due to higher grant date fair values for stock options granted; (ii) a full three months of stock compensation expense for a company-wide option grant to employees in March 2015 and (iii) a full three months of salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for employees assumed in our 2015 acquisitions. Legal and professional expenses increased $3.7 million primarily due to (i) share-based payments due pursuant to our services agreement with Third Security, LLC which we entered into in November 2015; (ii) increased legal fees for trial and post-trial activities for our litigation with XY, LLC; (iii) expenses incurred to support domestic and international government affairs for regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize our products and services; (iv) incremental costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of our 2015 acquisitions; and (v) other business development activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we also recorded $4.2 million in litigation settlement expenses arising from the entrance of a court order in our trial with XY, LLC.
Total other income (expense), net
Total other income (expense), net, was $(21.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $115.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $137.1 million or 119 percent. This decrease was attributable to market changes in our current equity securities portfolio; in 2016, this portfolio no longer included shares of ZIOPHARM since we distributed such shares, including all realized gains thereon, to our shareholders as a dividend in June 2015.
Equity in net loss of affiliates
Equity in net loss of affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 includes our pro-rata share of the net losses of our investments we account for using the equity method of accounting. The $3.7 million increase is due to the addition of two new joint ventures as of March 31, 2016 as well as additional expenses incurred by our other joint ventures as their programs continue to progress.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources of liquidity
We have incurred losses from operations since our inception and as of March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $607.2 million. From our inception through March 31, 2016, we have funded our operations principally with proceeds received from private and public offerings, cash received from our collaborators and through product and service sales made directly to customers. As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $145.7 million and short-term and long-term investments of $190.2 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested primarily in money market funds, certificates of deposits and U.S. government debt securities in order to maintain liquidity and preserve capital.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 9,951 | $ | 71,549 |
Cash flows from operating activities:
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received a $10.0 million technology access fee pursuant to a new collaboration. Our net loss of $65.3 million, after deduction of significant noncash items of (i) $22.3 million of noncash unrealized losses on our equity securities, (ii) $13.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, (iii) $5.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) $3.1 million of shares issued as compensation for services, and (v) $5.6 million of equity in net loss of affiliates, was $15.5 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had net income of $25.8 million which includes noncash items of (i) $115.5 million of unrealized appreciation on our equity securities, (ii) $59.6 million of common stock issued to MD Anderson recorded as research and development expense, and (iii) $10.3 million of stock-based compensation expense. After consideration of noncash items, we used $13.0 million of net cash in operating activities.
Cash flows from investing activities:
Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received proceeds of $18.0 million from the maturity of short-term and long-term investments. These proceeds were offset by cash outflows of $7.2 million to acquire the assets of EnviroFlight, $4.3 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment, and $2.7 million for investments in our joint ventures. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used $29.6 million, net of cash received, for the acquisition of ActoGeniX, $14.9 million for the purchase of equity securities and warrants of two of our collaborators, including $12.6 million of ZIOPHARM equity securities, and $2.7 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment. These cash outflows were offset by $24.0 million of proceeds from the maturity of short-term and long-term investments.
Cash flows from financing activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $110.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received $9.8 million from stock option exercises. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received $110.0 million of net proceeds from our public offering which closed in January 2015.
Future capital requirements
We established our current strategy and business model of commercializing our technologies through collaborators with development expertise in 2010 and we consummated our first collaboration in January 2011. We believe that we will continue to consummate collaborations with new companies across our various market sectors, which will result in additional upfront, milestone and cost recovery payments in the future.
41
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and cash expected to be received from our current collaborators and for sales of products and services provided by our consolidated subsidiaries will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
• | progress in our research and development programs, as well as the magnitude of these programs; |
• | the timing, receipt and amount of upfront, milestone and other payments, if any, from present and future collaborators, if any; |
• | the timing, receipt and amount of sales and royalties, if any, from our potential products; |
• | our ability to maintain or improve the volume and pricing of our current product offerings and to develop new offerings, including those which may incorporate new technologies; |
• | the timing, receipt and amount of funding under future government contracts, if any; |
• | our ability to maintain and establish additional collaborative arrangements and/or new business initiatives; |
• | the timing of regulatory approval of products of our collaborations and operations; |
• | the resources, time and cost required for the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patent claims; |
• | investments we may make in current and future collaborators, including joint ventures; |
• | strategic mergers and acquisitions, including both the upfront acquisition cost as well as the cost to integrate, maintain, and expand the strategic target; and |
• | the costs associated with legal activities, including litigation, arising in the course of our business activities and our ability to prevail in any such legal disputes. |
Until such time, if ever, as we can regularly generate positive operating cash flows, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Contractual obligations and commitments
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments at March 31, 2016 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

$ | 40,462 | $ | 14,760 | $ | 15,556 | $ | 4,937 | $ | 5,209 |
In addition to the obligations in the table above, as of March 31, 2016 we also have the significant contractual obligations described below.
In conjunction with the formation of our joint ventures, we committed to making future capital contributions of at least $45.0 million to the joint ventures, subject to certain conditions and limitations. As of March 31, 2016, our remaining capital contribution commitments to our joint ventures were $36.7 million. These future capital contributions are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of such contributions.
We are also party to in-licensed research and development agreements with various academic and commercial institutions where we could be required to make future payments for annual maintenance fees as well as for milestones and royalties we might receive upon commercial sales of products which incorporate their technologies. These agreements are generally subject to termination by us and therefore no amounts are included in the tables above. At March 31, 2016, we had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $9.0 million that had not yet been incurred.
In June 2015, we and Oragenics entered into an ECC. In conjunction with this ECC, we agreed to purchase additional common stock in a qualified financing, as defined in the agreement, during the sixteen months following the effective date of the ECC in an amount up to the lesser of (i) the amount that is the proportion of such financing equal to our pro rata equity holdings in Oragenics as of the effective date and (ii) $10 million, subject to certain conditions. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of whether or not we will make this payment.
In January 2015, we and ZIOPHARM jointly entered into a license agreement with MD Anderson whereby we received an exclusive license to certain technologies owned by MD Anderson. ZIOPHARM will receive access to these technologies pursuant to the terms of our ECC. We and ZIOPHARM are obligated to reimburse MD Anderson for out of pocket expenses for maintaining patents covering the licensed technologies. These reimbursements are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of such reimbursements.
As part of our August 2014 acquisition of Trans Ova, we agreed to pay a portion of certain cash proceeds received from the litigation with XY, LLC. These amounts are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of whether any amounts may be due.
In conjunction with a prior transaction associated with Trans Ova's subsidiary, ViaGen, in September 2012, we may be obligated to make certain future contingent payments to the former equity holders of ViaGen, up to a total of $5.0 million if certain revenue targets, as defined in the share purchase agreement, are met. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of when we will make any of these future payments, if ever.
We acquired 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Immunologix in October 2011. The transaction included a contingent consideration arrangement which may require us to pay the selling shareholders 50 percent, subject to a maximum of $2.0 million, of revenue generated from Immunologix's technology applied towards a specific target as defined in the agreement up to a maximum of $2.0 million. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of whether, if ever, we will pay this contingent consideration.
In January 2009, AquaBounty was awarded a grant to provide funding of a research and development project from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, a Canadian government agency. Amounts claimed by AquaBounty must be repaid in the form of
43
a 10 percent royalty on any products commercialized out of this research and development project until fully paid. Because the timing of commercialization is subject to additional regulatory considerations, the timing of repayment is uncertain. AquaBounty has claimed all amounts available under the grant, resulting in total long-term debt of $1.9 million on our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016. This amount is not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing of repayment.
Net operating losses
As of March 31, 2016, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $258.6 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income and U.S. federal and state research and development tax credits of $6.8 million, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Section 382. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2022. Our direct foreign subsidiaries have foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $118.8 million, most of which do not expire.
Our past issuances of stock and mergers and acquisitions have resulted in ownership changes within the meaning of Section 382. As a result, the utilization of portions of our net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $16.4 million of our net operating losses generated prior to 2008 are limited by Section 382 to annual usage limits of approximately $1.5 million. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $19.1 million of domestic net operating losses were inherited via acquisition and are limited based on the value of the target at the time of the transaction. Future changes in stock ownership may also trigger an ownership change and, consequently, a Section 382 limitation.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases as mentioned above, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Recent accounting pronouncements
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following sections provide quantitative information on our exposure to interest rate risk, stock price risk, and foreign currency exchange risk. We make use of sensitivity analyses which are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.
Interest rate risk
We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $336.0 million and $343.8 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments consist of cash, money market funds, U.S. government debt securities and certificates of deposit. The primary objective of our investment
44
activities is to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our investments consist of U.S. government debt securities and certificates of deposit which may be subject to market risk due to changes in prevailing interest rates that may cause the fair values of our investments to fluctuate. We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments and any such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.
Investments in publicly traded companies
We have common stock investments in several publicly traded companies that are subject to market price volatility. We have adopted the fair value method of accounting for these investments, except for our investment in AquaBounty as further described below, and therefore, have recorded them at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the unrealized gain or loss recorded as a separate component of other income (expense), net for the period. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the original aggregate cost basis of these investments was $107.2 million and the market value was $61.3 million and $83.7 million, respectively. The fair value of these investments is subject to fluctuation in the future due to the volatility of the stock market, changes in general economic conditions and changes in the financial conditions of these companies. The fair value of these investments as of March 31, 2016 would be approximately $67.4 million and $49.0 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the value of the investments. The fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2015 would be approximately $92.1 million and $67.0 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the value of the investments.
The common stock of AquaBounty is traded on the London Stock Exchange and at March 31, 2016, we owned 99,114,668 shares or approximately 63 percent. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $32.0 million and $36.7 million, respectively. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of March 31, 2016 would be approximately $35.2 million and $25.6 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the share price of AquaBounty. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of December 31, 2015 would be approximately $40.4 million and $29.4 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the share price of AquaBounty.
Foreign currency exchange risk
We have international subsidiaries in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, England, and Hungary. These subsidiaries' assets, liabilities, and current revenues and expenses are denominated in their respective foreign currencies. We do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. The effect of a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
45
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in litigation or legal matters incidental to our business activities. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we are vigorously defending them and do not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to our current expectation, the effect on our results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.
In May 2016, two purported shareholder class action lawsuits, captioned Hoffman v. Intrexon Corporation et al. and Gibrall v. Intrexon Corporation et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between May 12, 2015 and April 20, 2016 (the "Class Period"). The complaints name as defendants us and certain of our current officers (the "Defendants"). The complaints allege, among other things, that, in violation of the federal securities laws, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements in its periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed during the Class Period with respect to our business, operations and prospects. The basis for the plaintiffs' claims derives from the April 21, 2016 report published on the Seeking Alpha financial blog. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. We believe that these putative class action lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2015. In evaluating our risks, readers should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results, in addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities
From January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2016, we consummated the following transaction involving the issuance of unregistered securities:
• | the issuance of 136,340 unregistered shares of our common stock on February 25, 2016 in connection with our acquisition of the assets of EnviroFlight, LLC as disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and |
• | the issuance of 79,870 unregistered shares of our common stock in January, February and March 2016, as payment under the Services Agreement entered into and effective as of November 1, 2015, by and between us and Third Security as previously discussed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2015. |
(b) Use of Proceeds
On August 7, 2013, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-189853) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission for our initial public offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 11,499,998 shares of our common stock (inclusive of 1,499,999 shares of common stock sold by us pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering) at a price to the public of $16.00 per share for aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $184.0 million. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint book-running managers. On August 13, 2013, we closed the sale of such shares, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $168.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $12.9 million and other offering expenses of approximately $2.8 million. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates. We invested the funds received in cash equivalents and other short-term and long-term investments in accordance with our investment policy.
