Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions VGX International Inc. The Company conducts transactions with its affiliated entity, VGX Int’l. In July 2011 the Company purchased an additional 145,000 shares of VGX Int’l at a price of approximately $0.71 per share in connection with a common stock rights offering. The rights offering, however, reduced the Company’s ownership percentage, which is approximately 14.7% as of December 31, 2013. On October 7, 2011, the Company entered into a Collaborative Development and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with VGX Int’l. Under the Agreement, the Company and VGX Int’l will co-develop the Company’s SynCon ® therapeutic vaccines for hepatitis B and C infections (the “Products”). Under the terms of the Agreement, VGX Int’l will receive marketing rights for the Products in Asia, excluding Japan, and in return will fully fund IND-enabling and initial Phase I and II clinical studies with respect to the Products. The Company will receive from VGX Int’l payments based on the achievement of clinical milestones and royalties based on sales of the Products in the licensed territories, retaining all commercial rights to the Products in all other territories. On March 24, 2010, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “VGX Int’l Agreement”) with VGX Int’l. Under the VGX Int’l Agreement, the Company granted VGX Int’l an exclusive license to Inovio’s SynCon® universal influenza vaccine delivered with electroporation to be developed in certain countries in Asia (the “Product”). As consideration for the license granted to VGX Int’l, the Company received payment of $3.0 million, and will receive research support, annual license maintenance fees and royalties on net Product sales. The Company recorded the $3.0 million as deferred revenue from affiliated entity, and will recognize it as revenue over the eight year expected period of the Company’s performance obligation. In addition, contingent upon achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones, the Company will receive development payments over the term of the VGX Int’l Agreement. The VGX Int’l Agreement also provides Inovio with exclusive rights to supply devices for clinical and commercial purposes (including single use components) to VGX Int’l for use in the Product. The term of the VGX Int’l Agreement commenced upon execution and will extend on a country by country basis until the last to expire of all Royalty Periods for the territory (as such term is defined in the VGX Int’l Agreement) for any Product in that country, unless the VGX Int’l Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions as a result of breach, by mutual agreement, or by VGX Int’l’s right to terminate without cause upon prior written notice. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized revenue from VGX Int’l of $425,000, $577,000 and $411,000, respectively, which consisted of licensing, collaborative research and development arrangements and other fees. Operating expenses related to VGX Int’l for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 include $2.3 million, $871,000 and $5.3 million, respectively, related primarily to biologics manufacturing. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had an accounts receivable balance of $0 and $36,000, respectively, from VGX Int’l and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2013, $231,000 of prepayments made to VGX Int'l were classified as long-term other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Prior to signing the Roche Agreement, the Company reacquired the rights, title and interest to hepatitis B in Asia previously licensed to VGX Int'l. As a result, the Company paid $300,000 to VGX Int'l as of December 31, 2013 based on the up-front payment received from Roche.

The Company has received payment in full of $3.0 million from OncoSec as of December 31, 2013. The Company's Chairman, Dr. Avtar Dhillon, is the non-executive Chairman of OncoSec.
