Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | Organization Intrexon Corporation ("Intrexon"), a Virginia corporation, uses synthetic biology to focus on programming biological systems to alleviate disease, remediate environmental challenges, and provide sustainable food and industrial chemicals, which may be accomplished directly or through collaborations and joint ventures. Intrexon's primary domestic operations are in Florida, Maryland, and Virginia, and its primary international operations are in Hungary. There have been no commercialized products derived either directly by Intrexon or through its collaborations or joint ventures to date. Precigen, Inc. ("Precigen"), a dedicated discovery and clinical stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation of gene and cellular therapies using precision technology to target urgent and intractable diseases in immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon with primary operations in Maryland. Effective October 1, 2019, Intrexon transferred substantially all of its proprietary methane bioconversion platform assets to a new wholly owned subsidiary, MBP Titan LLC ("MBP"). MBP's proprietary methane bioconversion platform is designed to turn natural gas into more valuable and usable energy and chemical products via microbial fermentation. The operations of MBP are primarily in California. Prior to October 1, 2019, MBP was an operating division within Intrexon. There were no accounting implications resulting from the transfer of these assets. ActoBio Therapeutics, Inc. ("ActoBio") is pioneering a new class of microbe-based biopharmaceuticals that enable expression and local delivery of disease-modifying therapeutics and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon with primary operations in Belgium. Trans Ova Genetics, L.C. ("Trans Ova"), Progentus, L.C. ("Progentus"), and ViaGen, L.C. ("ViaGen"), providers of advanced reproductive technologies, including services and products sold to cattle breeders and other producers, are wholly owned subsidiaries with primary operations in California, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. Oxitec Limited ("Oxitec"), a pioneering company in biological insect control solutions, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon with primary operations in Brazil and the United Kingdom. Intrexon Produce Holdings, Inc. ("IPHI") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon. Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Inc. ("Okanagan Specialty Fruits"), a company that developed and received regulatory approval for the world's first non-browning apple without the use of any artificial additives, is a wholly owned subsidiary of IPHI with primary operations in Canada. Fruit Orchard Holdings, Inc. ("FOHI") is a wholly owned subsidiary of IPHI with primary operations in Washington. IPHI and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as "Okanagan." Exemplar Genetics, LLC ("Exemplar"), a provider of genetically engineered swine for medical and genetic research, is a wholly owned subsidiary with primary operations in Iowa. Through April 8, 2019, Intrexon consolidated AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. ("AquaBounty"), a company focused on improving productivity in commercial aquaculture and whose common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. On April 9, 2019, AquaBounty completed an underwritten public offering that resulted in Intrexon no longer having the contractual right to control AquaBounty's board of directors, and accordingly, Intrexon deconsolidated AquaBounty. After remeasuring its retained interest in AquaBounty, Intrexon recorded a loss on deconsolidation of $2,648, which is included in other income, net, on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The deconsolidation resulted in the derecognition of the carrying amount of $38,682 in net assets that are no longer reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. See Notes 9, 10, and 11 for additional discussion of material impacts to the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, Intrexon owned approximately 38% of AquaBounty and, after deconsolidating the entity, accounts for these equity securities using the fair value option. See Notes 2 and 20 for additional discussion of Intrexon's investment in AquaBounty. Intrexon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the "Company."
