The Company holds preferred stock in certain of its collaborators which may be converted to common stock as described in Note 6. The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investments in preferred stock whereby the value of preferred stock is adjusted to fair value as of each reporting date and unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statement of operations. These investments are subject to fluctuation in the future due to, among other things, the likelihood and timing of conversion of the preferred stock into common stock, the volatility of each collaborator's common stock, and changes in general economic and financial conditions of the collaborators. The investments are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet since the Company does not intend to sell the investments nor expect them to be converted into shares of common stock within one year.
Until such time as the Company converts the preferred stock into common stock, the Company is entitled to monthly dividends and records dividend income as described in Note 6.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for its investments in each of its joint ventures and for its investments in start-up entities backed by the Harvest Intrexon Enterprise Fund I, LP ("Harvest"), a related party, (Note 16) using the equity method of accounting based upon relative ownership interest. The Company's investments in these entities are included in investments in affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company accounts for its investment in Oragenics, Inc. ("Oragenics"), one of its collaborators, using the fair value option.
The fair value of the Company's investment in Oragenics was $5,902 and $7,244 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included as equity securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company's ownership of Oragenics was 29.4% and 29.5% as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Unrealized depreciation in the fair value of these securities was $1,341 and $6,345 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Summarized unaudited financial data as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, for the Company's equity method investments are shown in the following tables.

Variable Interest Entities
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company determined that certain of its collaborators and joint ventures as well as Harvest were variable interest entities ("VIE" or "VIEs"). The Company was not the primary beneficiary for these

13

Table of Contents

entities since it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company's aggregate investment balances of these VIEs as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $165,945 and $159,115, respectively, which represents the Company's maximum risk of loss related to the identified VIEs.
Self-insurance Reserves
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company commenced a self-insurance program for a significant portion of its employee health benefit programs. The Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third party insurers to limit its individual claims and total exposure under those programs. The Company estimates its accrued liability for the ultimate costs to close known claims, including claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company, as of the balance sheet date. The Company's recorded estimated liability for self-insurance is based on the insurance company's incurred loss estimates and management's judgment, including assumptions and factors related to the frequency and severity of claims and the Company's claims development history.
The assessment of self-insurance reserves is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Self-insurance reserves are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of the accruals and related financial statement disclosure. The ultimate settlement of self-insurance reserves may differ significantly from amounts the Company has accrued in its consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information
While the Company generates revenues from multiple sources, including collaboration agreements, licensing, and products and services associated with bovine reproduction, management is organized around a singular research and development focus to further the development of the Company's underlying synthetic biology technologies. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $14,586 and $13,265, respectively, of long-lived assets in foreign countries. The Company recognized revenues derived in foreign countries totaling $3,714 and $2,496 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
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 Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control ("ASU 2016-17"). The provisions of ASU 2016-17 amend the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued 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 Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. Upon adoption in the first quarter of 2017, the Company elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and recorded an opening adjustment to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit for previously unrecognized stock-based compensation costs due to estimating forfeitures on unvested shares totaling $1,461. The Company also recognized deferred tax assets of approximately $17,900 related to the excess tax benefits that previously arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation greater than stock-based compensation costs recognized in the consolidated financial statements and the cumulative adjustment for forfeitures. These deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance (Note 12). The adoption was on a modified retrospective basis and had no impact on prior periods.
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

14

Table of Contents

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 Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the implementation of this standard did not have a material 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 Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). The provisions of ASU 2017-04 simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). The provisions of ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, 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 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2016-18"). The provisions of ASU 2016-18 require amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending balances for the periods presented on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, 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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). The provisions of ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and how those certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, 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 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

15

Table of Contents

decision-useful information, including certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial 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 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, 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 2016, the FASB clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent, identifying performance obligations, licensing, narrow-scope improvements, practical expedients, and to expedite improvements to ASU 2014-09 by issuing ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is currently evaluating its collaborations and licensing agreements to determine the impact, if any, that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements as it relates to the recognition of upfront and milestone payments that have been deferred under the current revenue guidance, reimbursements for costs incurred by the Company for research and development services provided pursuant to collaborations, and royalties on sales of products arising from collaborations.
3. Investments in Joint Ventures
S & I Ophthalmic
In September 2013, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement ("Sun LLC Agreement") with Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. ("Sun Pharmaceutical Subsidiary"), an indirect subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Sun Pharmaceutical"), an international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on chronic diseases, to form S & I Ophthalmic, LLC ("S & I Ophthalmic"). The Sun LLC Agreement governs the affairs and the conduct of business of S & I Ophthalmic. S & I Ophthalmic leverages experience and technology from both the Company and Sun Pharmaceutical. Both the Company and Sun Pharmaceutical Subsidiary made an initial capital contribution of $5,000 in October 2013 for a 50% membership interest in S & I Ophthalmic. S & I Ophthalmic is governed by a board of managers ("S & I Ophthalmic Board") which has four members, two each from the Company and Sun Pharmaceutical Subsidiary. In cases in which the S & I Ophthalmic Board determines that additional capital contributions are necessary in order for S & I Ophthalmic to conduct business and comply with its obligations, each of the Company and Sun Pharmaceutical Subsidiary has committed to making additional capital contributions to S & I Ophthalmic subject to certain limits defined in the agreement.

EnviroFlight
In February 2016, the Company entered into a series of transactions involving EnviroFlight, LLC ("Old EnviroFlight"), Darling Ingredients Inc. ("Darling") and a newly formed venture between the Company and Darling ("New EnviroFlight"). The Company determined that the series of integrated transactions to acquire substantially all of the assets of Old EnviroFlight for cash, common stock, and contingent consideration should be accounted for as a single transaction, which constituted a business, and considered New EnviroFlight to be the accounting acquirer pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. Consideration paid to Old EnviroFlight was $4,244 in cash, 136,340 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $4,401 and contingent consideration estimated at $3,660. Contemporaneously, all the assets acquired from Old EnviroFlight, with the exception of certain developed technology, and $3,000 of cash were contributed to New EnviroFlight in exchange for a non-controlling, 50% membership interest in New EnviroFlight. The Company's contributions to New EnviroFlight included an exclusive license to the developed technology that was retained by the Company. Darling received the remaining 50% membership interest in New EnviroFlight as consideration for terminating rights previously held in the developed technology with Old EnviroFlight. New EnviroFlight was formed to generate high-nutrition, low environmental impact animal and fish feed, as well as fertilizer products. The Company and Darling as members have each agreed to make additional capital contributions of up to $5,000 to fund ongoing operations of New EnviroFlight. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's remaining commitment was $2,750. All of the employees of Old EnviroFlight became employees of New EnviroFlight.
The Company determined that its investment in New EnviroFlight should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company recorded an estimated fair value of $5,425 for its investment in New EnviroFlight and $9,880 for the retained developed technology intangible asset. The developed technology is being amortized over a period of twenty-one years. The contingent consideration liability payable to the members of Old EnviroFlight is considered a freestanding financial instrument in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, and is recorded at fair value each reporting period.

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, 2016.
As of March 31, 2017, all of the available-for-sale investments were due within one year based on their contractual maturities.
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.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.
6. Investments in Preferred Stock
Investment in ZIOPHARM Preferred Stock
In June 2016, the Company received 100,000 shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") of ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. ("ZIOPHARM"), with a per share stated value of $1,200, as consideration for amending their two previously existing ECC agreements. A summary of the terms of the Preferred Shares follows.
Conversion. The Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into shares of ZIOPHARM common stock upon the date the first approval in the United States of (i) a ZIOPHARM product, as defined in and developed under one of the ECC agreements, or (ii) a product, as defined and developed under the License and Collaboration Agreement with Ares Trading S.A., a subsidiary of the biopharmaceutical business of Merck KGaA, and ZIOPHARM, is publicly announced (the "Conversion Event Date"). The Preferred Shares shall convert into a number of shares of ZIOPHARM common stock equal to the stated value of such Preferred Share, divided by the greater of: (i) the volume weighted average closing price of ZIOPHARM's common stock over the twenty trading days ending on the Conversion Event Date or (ii) $1.00. The number of converted shares is subject to certain limitations defined in the amended and restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences, and Rights of Series 1 Preferred Stock (the "A&R Certificate of Designation").
Dividend Rights. The Company shall receive a monthly dividend, payable in additional Preferred Shares, equal to $12.00 per Preferred Share held per month divided by the stated value of the Preferred Shares, which is referred to as the PIK Dividend. For any Preferred Shares that are not converted on the Conversion Event Date, the rate of PIK Dividend on these unconverted Preferred Shares will automatically increase from $12.00 to $24.00 per Preferred Share per month.
Voting Rights. The Preferred Shares do not have any voting rights except for certain protective voting rights defined in the A&R Certificate of Designation.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ZIOPHARM or a deemed liquidation event, as defined in the A&R Certificate of Designation, including a change of control or the sale, lease transfer or exclusive license of all or substantially all of ZIOPHARM's assets, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive a portion of all funds to be distributed in proportion to the holders' proportionate share of ZIOPHARM's common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis (the "Series 1 Liquidation Amount"). For purposes of calculating the Series 1 Liquidation Amount, if such liquidation event occurs prior to the Conversion Event Date, each Preferred Share shall be deemed to be convertible into the number of shares of ZIOPHARM's common stock equal to (i) the stated value of each Preferred Share, divided by (ii) the volume weighted average price of ZIOPHARM's common stock for the twenty day period ending on the date of the public announcement of the liquidation event. In addition, ZIOPHARM may elect to redeem the Preferred Shares in connection with or following a deemed liquidation event at a price per share equal to the Series 1 Liquidation Amount.
The investment in ZIOPHARM preferred stock is categorized as Level 3 as there are significant unobservable inputs and the Preferred Shares are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of the investment in ZIOPHARM preferred stock is estimated using a probability-weighted expected return ("PWERM") model. The key inputs used in the PWERM model are (i) estimating the future returns for conversion of the Preferred Shares for both product approval and a change in control of ZIOPHARM (the "conversion events") using market data of the change in value for guideline companies as a result of these conversion events; (ii) estimating the expected date and likelihood of each conversion event; and (iii) discounting these estimated future returns using a discount rate for the Preferred Shares considering industry debt issuances originated by public funds and venture capital rates of return. There have been no significant changes in the fair value of the Preferred Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2017. A significant change in unobservable inputs discussed above could result in a significant impact on the fair value of the Company's investment in ZIOPHARM preferred stock. The fair value of the Company's investment in ZIOPHARM preferred stock, including additional Preferred Shares received as dividends, was $133,468 and $129,545 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received 3,216 shares of additional Preferred Shares and recognized $3,923 of dividend income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Investment in Fibrocell Preferred Stock
In March 2017, Fibrocell Science, Inc. ("Fibrocell"), one of the Company's collaborators and a related party, sold Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Convertible Preferred Shares") convertible into shares of Fibrocell common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Fibrocell common stock to certain institutional and accredited investors, including the Company and affiliates of Third Security. The Company paid $1,161 in exchange for 1,161 Convertible Preferred Shares and warrants to acquire 498,843 shares of Fibrocell common stock, reflective of the 1-for-3 reverse stock split of Fibrocell's common stock effective March 10, 2017. The Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at any time at the election of the Company and accrue dividends at 4% per annum, compounded quarterly, increasing the stated value of the shares. The investment in Fibrocell preferred stock is categorized as Level 3 as there are significant unobservable inputs and the Convertible Preferred Shares are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of the investment in Fibrocell preferred stock is estimated using a conversion plus dividend approach utilizing the trading value of the underlying common stock and an estimated premium for the preferred stock dividend and other preferences. Market price volatility of Fibrocell's common stock and a significant change in the estimated preferred stock premium could result in a significant impact to the fair value of the investment in Fibrocell preferred stock. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of the Company's investment in Fibrocell preferred stock totaled $1,193. See Note 16 for additional discussion of the warrants.

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. The methods used to estimate the fair value of the Level 3 assets are discussed in Note 6.
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
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 $2,160 and $2,081 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 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 3) whereby 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. A significant change in unobservable inputs discussed above could result in a significant impact on the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability. 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. The changes in the fair value of the Level 3 liability during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

11. Lines of Credit and Long Term Debt
Lines of Credit
Trans Ova has a $6,000 revolving line of credit with First National Bank of Omaha which matures on June 1, 2017. The line of credit bears interest at the greater of 2.95% above the London Interbank Offered Rate or 3.00% and the actual rate was 3.74% as of March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, 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, 2017.
Exemplar has a $700 revolving line of credit with American State Bank which matures on October 30, 2017. The line of credit bears interest at 4.50% per annum. As of March 31, 2017, there was an outstanding balance of $410.

Trans Ova has a note payable to American State Bank which matures in April 2033 and has an outstanding principal balance of $5,153 as of March 31, 2017. 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.
AquaBounty has a royalty-based financing grant from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, a Canadian government agency, to provide funding of a research and development project. The total amount available under the award was $2,155, 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

26



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 $1,940 as of March 31, 2017.
Future maturities of long term debt are as follows:

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, 2017, the Company had U.S. taxable income of approximately $11,800, for which $236 in current income tax expense was recognized due to the alternative minimum tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized $131 of current foreign income tax benefit. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had U.S. taxable loss of approximately $9,900, for which no current 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, 2017, the Company recorded deferred tax benefit of $638. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded deferred tax benefit of $2,188. The Company's net deferred tax assets, excluding certain deferred tax liabilities totaling $16,504, 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, 2017, the Company has loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $242,800 available to offset future taxable income and federal and state research and development tax credits of approximately $7,600, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022. The Company's direct foreign subsidiaries have foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $124,500, most of which do not expire.
13. Shareholders' Equity
Dividend to Shareholders
In January 2017, the Company distributed to its shareholders 1,776,557 shares of AquaBounty common stock valued at $22,385. The distribution constituted a dividend to shareholders of record as of January 9, 2017. In connection with the distribution and pursuant to the terms of the Company's equity incentive plans, the conversion terms of all outstanding options for shares of the Company's common stock as of January 9, 2017 were adjusted to reflect the value of the distribution with respect to shares of the Company's common stock by decreasing the exercise prices and increasing the number outstanding options. This adjustment resulted in 46,766 additional outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $31.11.

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 ("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, and had an initial term of 12 months. In October 2016, the independent members of Intrexon's board of directors, with the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, approved a new RSU Agreement expiring on December 31, 2016, and in December 2016 once again approved a new RSU Agreement expiring March 31, 2017, both of which on the same terms as the original RSU Agreement. The fair value of the shares issued as compensation for services is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and totaled $471 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. In March 2017, the independent members of Intrexon's board of directors, with the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, approved a new RSU Agreement for the CEO providing for a term of 12 months expiring on March 31, 2018 and on the same terms as the original RSU Agreement.
AquaBounty Stock Option Plans
As of March 31, 2017, there were 185,951 options outstanding, of which 183,840 were exercisable under the AquaBounty 2006 Equity Incentive Plan ("AquaBounty 2006 Plan") at a weighted average exercise price of $7.90 per share. As of December 31, 2016, there were 185,951 options outstanding under this plan, of which 181,766 were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $7.89 per share. The AquaBounty stock option data reflect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of AquaBounty's common stock effective January 5, 2017.
In March 2016, AquaBounty's board of directors adopted the AquaBounty 2016 Equity Incentive Plan ("AquaBounty 2016 Plan") to replace the AquaBounty 2006 Plan.  The AquaBounty 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and awards of restricted and direct stock purchases to directors, officers, employees and consultants of AquaBounty.  The AquaBounty 2016 Plan was approved by AquaBounty's shareholders at its annual meeting in April 2016. Upon the effectiveness of the AquaBounty 2016 Plan, no new awards may be granted under the AquaBounty 2006 Plan. As of March 31, 2017, there were no options outstanding under the AquaBounty 2016 Plan.

Rent expense, including other facility expenses, was $2,301 and $2,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company maintains subleases for certain of its facilities. Rental income under sublease agreements was $41 and $335 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Future rental income is expected to be $59 for 2017, $80 for 2018, and $67 for 2019.
Purchase Commitments
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding contractual purchase commitments of $6,705, which primarily relate to amounts that will be paid in 2018 and 2019 upon delivery of commercial non-browning apple trees.
Contingencies
In March 2012, Trans Ova was named as a defendant in a licensing and patent infringement suit brought by XY, LLC ("XY") alleging that certain of Trans Ova's activities breach a licensing agreement and infringe on patents that XY allegedly owns. Trans Ova filed a number of counterclaims in the case. In Colorado District Court, the matter proceeded to a jury trial in January 2016. The jury determined that XY and Trans Ova had each breached the licensing agreement and that Trans Ova had infringed the intellectual property of XY. 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 in the amount of $6,066, each with prejudgment interest. The order provides for the continuation of Trans Ova's license to XY's technology, subject to an ongoing royalty obligation for Trans Ova. Since the inception of the license, Trans Ova has remitted payments to XY 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 the court's order, aggregate royalty and license payments were $3,170, of which $2,759 had not yet been deposited by XY. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded litigation 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, including prejudgment interest, over the liability previously recorded by Trans Ova for uncashed checks previously remitted to XY. In August 2016, Trans Ova deposited the net damages amount, including prejudgment interest, into the court's treasury, to be held until the appeals process is complete and final judgment amounts are determined. As of March 31, 2017, this amount is included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In December 2016, Trans Ova elected to void the outstanding checks discussed above, and these amounts have been reclassified to other accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In 2017, Trans Ova and XY each filed an appeal seeking to overturn respective adverse rulings. As a result of an appeal decision, the damages awarded to either party could decrease, increase, or be eliminated. The appeal decision may remand to the Colorado District Court all, or a portion, of the appellate issues. In December 2016, XY filed a complaint for patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation against Trans Ova in the District Court of Waco, Texas. Since the claims in this 2016 complaint directly relate to the 2012 licensing dispute, Trans Ova filed and was granted a motion for change of venue to Colorado District Court. Trans Ova filed a motion to dismiss. This motion is now pending before the Colorado court. 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's technologies, or to recover monetary damages related to Trans Ova's antitrust counterclaims.
In May 2016, two putative 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 Intrexon's common stock between May 12, 2015 and April 20, 2016 (the "Class Period"). In July 2016, the court consolidated the lawsuits and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated amended complaint names as defendants Intrexon and certain of Intrexon's current and former officers (the "Defendants"). It alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements during the Class Period with respect to the Company's business, operations, and prospects in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The plaintiffs' claims are based in part upon allegations in a report published in April 2016 on the Seeking Alpha financial blog. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Defendants moved to dismiss the case. On February 24, 2017, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a claim, while granting the plaintiff leave to amend. The plaintiff subsequently notified the court that it would seek to appeal the court's ruling rather than amend its complaint. On April 26, 2017, the court entered final judgment in the case. Any appeal must be filed by the plaintiff by May 26, 2017. The Company intends to continue to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this case.
In July 2016, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Basile v. Kirk et al. was filed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, against certain of the Company's directors, the Company's CEO, and Third Security, and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment relating to the entry by the Company into the Services Agreement with Third Security. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement of improper benefits, appropriate equitable relief, and an award of attorney fees and other costs and expenses. The complaint is substantially similar to two separate demands made by shareholders concerning the Services Agreement and Mr. Kirk's compensation. The board of directors of the Company appointed a Special Litigation Committee ("SLC") consisting of independent directors to investigate the claims and allegations made in the derivative action and in the two shareholder demands and to decide on behalf of the Company whether the claims and allegations should be pursued. The Basile case was stayed pending the report of the SLC. In November 2016, the SLC completed its review and evaluation and unanimously determined that the claims were without merit because the compensation arrangements were the result of an informed and disinterested decision-making process and were fair to the Company, and that prosecution of the asserted claims was not in the best interest of Intrexon or its shareholders. Based upon the determination of the SLC, on February 24, 2017, the Company moved to dismiss the court action pursuant to Virginia statute and that motion is pending. There can be no assurance, however, regarding the ultimate outcome of the case.
In addition to the shareholder demands above, in June and July 2016, two shareholders made separate demands under Virginia law demanding that the Company file suit against certain of its current officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and other claims. The demands were based upon and asserted the allegations previously published in April 2016 in the Seeking Alpha financial blog. In July 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized the SLC to expand its review to include all such allegations. In February 2017, the SLC completed its review and evaluation and unanimously determined that there was no basis for any of the allegations, that the Company's officers and directors did not breach their fiduciary duties or any other applicable law, and that prosecution of the asserted claims was not in the best interest of Intrexon or its shareholders. Following the SLC's determination, in March 2017, one of the putative shareholders filed a derivative complaint captioned Luger v. Kirk et al. in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia. The Company is a nominal defendant in this new action, and other defendants include certain of the Company's directors, the Company's CEO, and Third Security. The complaint alleges causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment relating to the entry by the Company into the Services Agreement with Third Security, Mr. Kirk's compensation, and certain allegations contained in the April 2016 Seeking Alpha financial blog piece. Based on the determination of the SLC and a review of applicable law, the Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this case.
The Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation which the Company believes concerns certain issues raised by the foregoing matters. The Company has met with the SEC staff and is voluntarily cooperating with their investigation. The Company's board of directors has authorized the SLC to monitor the Company's interaction with the SEC staff.
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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the

aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
16. Related Party Transactions
Third Security and Affiliates
The Company's CEO and Chairman of the board of directors of the Company is also the Senior Managing Director and CEO of Third Security and owns 100% of the equity interests of Third Security.
In November 2015, the independent members of Intrexon's board of directors, with the recommendation of the audit committee of the 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 had 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. In October 2016, the independent members of Intrexon's board of directors, with the recommendation of the audit committee of the board of directors, approved an extension of the Services Agreement which expired on December 31, 2016. In December 2016, the independent members of Intrexon's board of directors, with the recommendation of the audit committee of the board of directors, approved an extension of the Services Agreement through December 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 103,930 shares and 79,870 shares, respectively, with values of $2,039 and $2,267, respectively, 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 were $66 and $46 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.
The Company holds promissory notes convertible into shares of Fibrocell common stock ("convertible note") and warrants to purchase shares of Fibrocell common stock. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the value of the convertible note and warrants totaled $2,315 and $1,642, respectively, and is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company's investments in Fibrocell.
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 are 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 provides Harvest with exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation. For any opportunities it decides to pursue, Harvest establishes new collaboration entities which enter into an ECC with the Company in a designated field. The terms of such ECCs are 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 are 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 $603 and $645 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

18. Subsequent Events
In April 2017, the Company entered into a land lease agreement to commence in October 2017 to be used for the Company's Arctic apples. The initial term is through September 2037, and future minimum lease payments under this leasing arrangement total approximately $4,100. The Company has the right to terminate the lease with six months' advance written notice under certain circumstances as defined in the lease agreement.
In April 2017, the Company provided a commitment letter for an unsecured $2,400 loan to Oragenics that will mature two years after issuance of the loan, bears interest at 12% per annum, and is conditional on Oragenics raising at least an additional $2,700 in gross proceeds from an equity financing.
In January 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GenVec, Inc. ("GenVec"), a clinical-stage company and pioneer in the development of AdenoVerse™ gene delivery technology. Upon closing of the transaction, GenVec stockholders will receive 0.297 of a share of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of GenVec common stock. This exchange ratio represents $7.00 per share of GenVec's common stock divided by the Company's five-day volume weighted average price as of January 23, 2017. GenVec stockholders may also receive contingent consideration equal to 50% of any milestone or royalty payments received under one of GenVec's collaboration agreements, provided such payments are received within three years after the closing of the transaction.  Consummation of the transaction, anticipated in the second or third quarter of 2017, is subject to customary closing conditions, including GenVec stockholder approval.

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, or JV, with a third party collaborator whereby we may contribute access to our technology, cash or both into the JV which we will jointly control with our collaborator. Pursuant to a JV agreement, we may be required to contribute additional capital to the JV, 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 JVs, see the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 3" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

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 are 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 provide Harvest with exclusive rights of first-look and first negotiation. For any opportunities it decides to pursue, Harvest establishes new collaboration entities which enter into an ECC with us in a designated field. The terms of such ECCs are 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 are presented at our discretion on a non-exclusive basis. The agreement with Harvest does not limit our ability to execute other collaborations and JVs 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.
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, we pursue technologies that we believe will be 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 pending acquisition of GenVec, Inc., as described in "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 18" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no mergers, acquisitions or significant technology in-licensing activities in 2017.
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 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 collaboration and licensing revenues through the execution of agreements with counterparties for the development and commercialization of products enabled by our technologies. Generally, the terms of these 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 specific applications provided for in the collaboration; (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

Table of Contents

payments received and recognize such revenues in the future over the anticipated performance period. We are also entitled to sublicensing revenues in those situations where our collaborators choose to license our technologies to other parties.
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 generate product and service revenues primarily through sales of products or services which are created from technologies developed or owned by us. Our current offerings include sales of advanced reproductive technologies, including our bovine 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 and embryos produced using these processes and 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 from the various technologies of our subsidiaries. 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, 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
Cost of products and services 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.
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 and 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.

Table of Contents

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, 2017 and 2016. 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.

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, or SG&A, 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 SG&A expenses include rent and utilities, insurance, accounting and legal services and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining our intellectual property.
We expect that our SG&A 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, costs associated with defending the Company in litigation matters, the costs of outside consultants and other professional services, including costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to public companies. SG&A 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 and preferred stock 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 and preferred stock held in these collaborators. These equity securities and preferred stock are recorded at fair value at each reporting date. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from fair value adjustments are reported as other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. As such, we bear the risk that fluctuations in the securities' share prices may significantly impact our results of operations.
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. Dividend income consists of the monthly preferred stock dividends received from our investments in preferred stock.
Interest expense pertains to deferred consideration payable to the former members of Trans Ova Genetics, L.C., or Trans Ova, and long term debt.

Table of Contents

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 start-up. 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 have accounted for investments in our JVs and start-up 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, revenue recognized from collaborations with Harvest start-up entities include Thrive Agrobiotics, Inc.; Exotech Bio, Inc.; Relieve Genetics, Inc.; AD Skincare, Inc.; Genten Therapeutics, Inc.; and CRS Bio, Inc. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue recognized from collaborations with Harvest start-up entities include Thrive Agrobiotics, Inc.
Collaboration and licensing revenues increased $9.0 million over the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to (i) the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from collaborations signed by us between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the recognition of the payment received in June 2016 from ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc., or ZIOPHARM, to amend our collaborations; 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 Ares Trading S.A., Exotech Bio, Inc., and our JVs in Intrexon Energy Partners, LLC, and Intrexon T1D Partners, LLC.
Product revenues and gross margin
Product revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 5 percent, from the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in product revenues primarily relates to a decrease in the quantities of pregnant cows sold due to lower customer demand for these products. Gross margin on products was consistent period over period.
Service revenues and gross margin
Service revenues increased $1.4 million, or 13 percent, over the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in service revenues relates to an increase in the number of bovine in vitro fertilization cycles performed due to higher customer demand. Gross margin on services decreased slightly in the current period primarily due to an increase in royalties and commissions due to vendors.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased $8.3 million, or 32 percent, over the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is due primarily to increases in (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for research and development

39

Table of Contents

employees, (ii) lab supplies and consulting expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $2.6 million due to an increase in research and development headcount to support new and expanded collaborations. Lab supplies and consulting expenses increased $3.4 million as a result of (i) the progression of certain programs into the preclinical and clinical phases with certain of our collaborators, and (ii) the increased level of research and development services provided to our collaborators. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million primarily as a result of amortization of developed technology acquired from Oxitec Limited which began in November 2016 upon the completion of certain operational and regulatory events.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses decreased $7.7 million, or 18 percent, from the three months ended March 31, 2016. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs decreased $4.9 million primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to the Company's former President who resigned in March 2017. In 2016, we recorded $4.2 million in litigation expenses arising from the entrance of a court order in our trial with XY, LLC, or XY. These SG&A decreases were offset by an increase of $2.1 million of legal and professional fees due to (i) expenses incurred to support domestic and international government affairs for regulatory and other approvals necessary to commercialize our products and services; and (ii) increased legal fees to defend ongoing litigation.
Total other income (expense), net
Total other income (expense), net, increased $24.8 million or 116 percent, over the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) a decline in unrealized depreciation in our equity securities portfolio of $20.3 million and (ii) dividend income of $3.9 million from our investments in preferred stock.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources of liquidity
We have incurred losses from operations since our inception and as of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $762.2 million. From our inception through March 31, 2017, 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, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $69.9 million and short-term investments of $135.4 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested primarily in money market funds and U.S. government debt securities in order to maintain liquidity and preserve capital.
We currently generate cash receipts primarily from technology access fees, reimbursement of research and development services performed by us and sales of products and services.

affiliates, (iv) $2.9 million of shares issued as payment for services, (v) $1.6 million of noncash unrealized losses on our equity securities and preferred stock, and (vi) $3.9 million of noncash dividend income, was $11.6 million. Additionally, we had a $13.2 million net increase in our operating assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the recognition of previously deferred revenue. 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 payment for services, and (v) $5.6 million of equity in net loss of affiliates, was $15.5 million.
Cash flows from investing activities:
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received proceeds of $45.0 million from the maturity of short-term investments and used $6.3 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and $4.6 million for investments in our JVs. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received proceeds of $18.0 million from the maturity of short-term investments and used $7.2 million to acquire the assets of EnviroFlight, LLC, $4.3 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment, and $2.7 million for investments in our JVs.
Cash flows from financing activities:
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid $2.0 million of deferred consideration to former shareholders of an acquired business and $0.9 million to acquire the remaining noncontrolling interest of one of our subsidiaries. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received $9.8 million from stock option exercises.
Future capital requirements
We established our current strategy and business model of commercializing our technologies through collaborations 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.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-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 and service 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 JVs;

Table of Contents

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.

In April 2017, we entered into a land lease agreement to commence in October 2017 to be used for our Arctic apples. The initial term is through September 2037, and future minimum lease payments under this leasing arrangement total approximately $4.1 million and are excluded from the table above. We have the right to terminate the lease with six months' advance written notice under certain circumstances as defined in the lease agreement.

In April 2017, we provided a commitment letter for an unsecured $2.4 million loan to Oragenics, Inc., or Oragenics, that will mature two years after issuance of the loan, bears interest at 12% per annum, and is conditional on Oragenics raising at least an additional $2.7 million in gross proceeds from an equity financing.
In addition to the obligations in the table above, as of March 31, 2017 we also have the following significant contractual obligations described below.
In conjunction with the formation of our JVs, we committed to making future capital contributions of at least $45.0 million to the JVs, subject to certain conditions and limitations. As of March 31, 2017, our remaining capital contribution commitments to our JVs were $24.7 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 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, 2017, we had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $7.5 million that had not yet been incurred.

In January 2015, we and ZIOPHARM jointly entered into a license agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, or 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. These amounts are not included in the table above due to the uncertainty of whether and when any amounts may be due.
In conjunction with a prior transaction associated with Trans Ova's subsidiary, ViaGen, L.C., or 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 $3.0 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.
In January 2009, AquaBounty Technologies, Inc., or 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 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, 2017. 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, 2017, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $242.8 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income and U.S. federal and state research and development tax credits of $7.6 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 $124.5 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, 2017, approximately $15.1 million of our domestic 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, 2017, approximately $20.3 million of domestic net operating losses were inherited via acquisition and are limited based on the value of the respective targets 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 and purchase commitments 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.

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 $205.2 million and $243.2 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 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' common stock
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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the original aggregate cost basis of these investments was $104.0 million, and the market value was $21.5 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these investments is subject to fluctuation in the future due to the volatility of the stock market, changes in general economic conditions and changes in the financial conditions of these companies. The fair value of these investments as of March 31, 2017 would be approximately $23.7 million and $17.2 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, 2016 would be approximately $25.9 million and $18.8 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 commenced trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market in January 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we owned 5,162,277 shares or approximately 58 percent. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $57.2 million and $40.1 million, respectively, based on AquaBounty's quoted closing price on the NASDAQ Stock Market and London Stock Exchange, respectively. The fair value of our investment in AquaBounty as of March 31, 2017 would be approximately $62.9 million and $45.8 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, 2016 would be approximately $44.1 million and $32.1 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the share price of AquaBounty.
Investments in publicly traded companies' preferred stock
We have preferred stock investments in two publicly traded companies, which may be converted to common stock in the future. We have adopted the fair value method of accounting for these investments whereby the value of preferred stock is adjusted to fair value as of each reporting date. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the original cost basis of these investments, including dividends, was $132.1 million and $127.4 million, respectively, and the fair value of these investments was $134.7 million and $129.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these investments is subject to fluctuation in the future due to, among other things, the likelihood and timing of conversion of the preferred stock into common stock, the volatility of each company's common stock, and changes in general economic and financial conditions of these companies. The fair value of these

44



investments as of March 31, 2017 would be approximately $148.2 million and $107.8 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, 2016 would be approximately $142.5 million and $103.6 million, respectively, based on a hypothetical 10 percent increase or 20 percent decrease in the value of the investments.
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 currency. 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, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in litigation or legal matters incidental to our business activities. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently expect that any of these matters 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 putative 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, or the Class Period. In July 2016, the court consolidated the lawsuits and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated amended complaint names as defendants us and certain of our current and former officers, or the Defendants. It alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements during the Class Period with respect to our business, operations, and prospects in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The plaintiffs' claims are based in part upon allegations in a report published in April 2016 on the Seeking Alpha financial blog. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Defendants moved to dismiss the case. On February 24, 2017, the court granted our motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a claim, while granting the plaintiff leave to amend. The plaintiff subsequently notified the court that it would seek to appeal the court's ruling rather than amend its complaint. On April 26, 2017, the court entered final judgment in the case. Any appeal must be filed by the plaintiff by May 26, 2017. We intend to continue to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this case.
In July 2016, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Basile v. Kirk et al. was filed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, against certain of our directors, our CEO, and Third Security, and naming us as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment relating to the entry by us into the Services Agreement with Third Security. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement of improper benefits, appropriate equitable relief, and an award of attorney fees and other costs and expenses. The complaint is substantially similar to two separate demands made by shareholders concerning the Services Agreement and Mr. Kirk's compensation. Our board of directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee, or the SLC, consisting of independent directors to investigate the claims and allegations made in the derivative action and in the two shareholder demands and to decide on our behalf whether the claims and allegations should be pursued. The Basile case was stayed pending the report of the SLC. In November 2016, the SLC completed its review and evaluation and unanimously determined that the claims were without merit because the compensation arrangements were the result of an informed and disinterested decision-making process and were fair to the Company, and that prosecution of the asserted claims was not in our or our shareholders' best interest. Based upon the determination of the SLC, on February 24, 2017 we moved to dismiss the court action pursuant to Virginia statute and that motion is pending. There can be no assurance, however, regarding the ultimate outcome of the case.
In addition to the shareholder demands described above, in June and July 2016, two shareholders made separate demands under Virginia law demanding that we file suit against certain of our current officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and other claims. The demands were based upon and asserted the allegations previously published in April 2016 in the Seeking Alpha financial blog. In July 2016, our board of directors authorized the SLC to expand its review to include all such allegations. In February 2017, the SLC completed its review and evaluation and unanimously determined that there was no basis for any of the allegations, that our officers and directors did not breach their fiduciary duties or any other applicable law, and that prosecution of the asserted claims was not in our or our shareholders' best interest. Following the SLC's determination, in March 2017, one of the putative shareholders filed a derivative complaint captioned Luger v. Kirk et al. in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia. We are a nominal defendant in this new action, and other defendants include certain of our directors, our CEO, and Third Security. The complaint alleges causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment relating to our entry into the Services Agreement with Third Security, our CEO's compensation, and certain allegations contained in the April 2016 Seeking Alpha financial blog piece. Based on the determination of the SLC and a review of applicable law, we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this case.
The Division of Enforcement of the SEC is conducting an investigation which we believe concerns certain issues raised by the foregoing matters. We have met with the SEC staff and are voluntarily cooperating with their investigation. Our board of directors has authorized the SLC to monitor our interaction with the SEC staff.

JMP Securities LLC acted as sole book-running manager. Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated acted as lead manager. Griffin Securities, Inc. and Wunderlich Securities, Inc. acted as co-managers.
