6. Investment in AquaBounty

On November 16, 2012, the Company acquired 48,631,444 shares of AquaBounty common stock, representing 47.56% of the then outstanding shares of AquaBounty, for $6,000 through a definitive purchase agreement with an existing AquaBounty shareholder and its affiliate. The carrying amount of the investment in AquaBounty was $5,726 at December 31, 2012. Based on closing quoted market prices (Level 1), the fair value of the investment in AquaBounty was approximately $14,300 at December 31, 2012.

On November 29, 2012, the Company entered into a promissory note purchase agreement (“promissory note”) with AquaBounty. The promissory note allows for the Company to loan up to $500 to AquaBounty. Draws on the promissory note by AquaBounty accrued annual interest of 3% and were set to mature no later than May 28, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, AquaBounty had drawn $200 on the promissory note. This outstanding balance plus accrued interest is included in related party receivables on the December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. In January and February 2013, AquaBounty borrowed additional installments of $200 and $100, respectively, on the promissory note. On March 15, 2013, AquaBounty repaid the $500 promissory note plus accrued interest in its entirety.

On March 15, 2013, the Company acquired 18,714,814 shares of AquaBounty for $4,907 in a private subscription offering, thereby increasing the Company’s ownership in AquaBounty to 53.82%, resulting in the Company gaining control over AquaBounty, and began consolidating. Commencing on that date, the Company includes AquaBounty in its consolidated results of operations and financial position pursuant to the step acquisition guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company recognized a gain of $7,415 to account for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the previously held 47.56% equity interest. The fair value of the consideration transferred included:

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are considered preliminary and is subject to revision when the valuation of intangible assets is finalized upon receipt of the final valuation report from a third party valuation expert. The preliminary fair value of acquired intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, a variation of the income approach. The multi-period excess earnings method estimates the value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development until regulatory approval is obtained, at which point the intangible assets will be accounted for as definite lived intangible assets and amortized over the expected useful life of fifteen years. The goodwill consists of future revenue opportunities and the potential for expansion of AquaBounty products. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are also subject to revision upon the Company’s continued evaluation of the fair value of long term debt.

The results of operations of AquaBounty are included in the consolidated statement of operations beginning on the acquisition date. The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is presented as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2012:

The pro forma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes this non-recurring gain on remeasurement.

3. Mergers and Acquisitions

Agarigen, Inc.

On January 26, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Agarigen, Inc. (“Agarigen”), a North Carolina-based company which developed a novel mushroom-based platform for the production of proteins, by merging Agarigen into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition allows the Company to combine Agarigen’s technology with the Company’s technology and capability in a specific agricultural sector. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $1,178 cash and issued 386,142 shares of its common stock at closing. The Company also issued 165,255 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at strike prices ranging from $0.38 to $1.98 and issued warrants to purchase up to 511,098 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.79. The results of Agarigen’s operations subsequent to January 26, 2011 have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $3,773. The acquisition date fair value of each class of consideration transferred was as follows:

 

Cash

   $ 1,178   

Common shares

     1,014   

Stock options and warrants

     1,581   
  

 

 

 
   $ 3,773   

 

 

 

The fair value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued was based upon the value of the Company’s common stock at the acquisition date determined under an option-pricing method as prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation (“AICPA Practice Aid”). The option-pricing method treats common stock and preferred stock as call options on the enterprise’s equity value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of the preferred stock. The fair value of stock options and warrants issued were determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is as follows:

 

Cash

   $ 334

The fair value of acquired intangible assets was determined using the relief-from-royalty method, a variation of the income approach that estimates the benefit of owning the intangible assets rather than paying royalties for the right to use comparable assets. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the expected useful life of nine years and consist of acquired patents and related technology.

The Company paid $110 of acquisition related costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The warrants were fully vested upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.79 per share and expire in December 2017. The Company considered the applicable provisions of ASC No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity and ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging and determined the warrants should be classified as shareholders’ equity.

GT Life Sciences, Inc.

On October 5, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of GT Life Sciences, Inc. (“GT Life”), a California company, by merging a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary with and into GT Life.

The Company paid $14,250 cash at closing, which was the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred. The results of GT Life’s operations subsequent to October 5, 2011 have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of acquired intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, a variation of the income approach. The multi-period excess earnings method estimates the value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the expected useful life of thirteen years and consist of acquired patents and related technology.

The Company paid $276 of acquisition related costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Immunologix, Inc.

On October 21, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding preferred and common stock of Immunologix, Inc. (“Immunologix”), a South Carolina-based company specializing in therapeutic antibodies, by merging a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Immunologix. The acquisition allows the Company to combine Immunologix’s antibody technology with the Company’s existing technology and capability. The Company paid $12,758 cash and issued 153,365 shares of its common stock at closing. The results of Immunologix’s operations from October 21, 2011 have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The transaction also includes a contingent consideration arrangement which may require the Company to pay the former shareholders of Immunologix 50% of revenue generated from Immunologix’s antibody technology in a specific target defined in the agreement up to a maximum of $2,000. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that could be required under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $2,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement is estimated at $0 based on the risk-adjusted valuation performed by the Company.

The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $13,850. The acquisition date fair value of each class of consideration transferred was as follows:

 

Cash

   $ 12,758   

Common shares

     1,092   
  

 

 

 
   $ 13,850   

 

 

The fair value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued was based upon the value of the Company’s common stock at acquisition date determined by using a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) as prescribed by the AICPA Practice Aid. The PWERM estimates the value of an enterprise’s common stock based upon an analysis of current and future values for the enterprise assuming possible liquidity events. The PWERM considers the various terms of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, including the rights for each share class, at the date in the future upon which these rights will either be executed or abandoned. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is as follows:
