 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
 statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
 subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at
 December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014 has been derived from the audited
 consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include
 all of the information and disclosures required by generally
 accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
 (&amp;#x201C;U.S. GAAP&amp;#x201D;) for annual financial statements. These
 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
 should be read in conjunction with the Company&amp;#x2019;s audited
 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included
 in the Company&amp;#x2019;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
 ended December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014. The accompanying unaudited condensed
 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
 with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
 Commission (&amp;#x201C;SEC&amp;#x201D;) and U.S. GAAP for unaudited
 condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do
 not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.
 GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited
 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
 consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
 management, are necessary for a fair statement of the
 Company&amp;#x2019;s financial position and results of its operations,
 as of and for the periods presented.&lt;/p&gt;

 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
 GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
 affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
 statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
 those estimates. The results of the Company&amp;#x2019;s operations for
 the three month period ended March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015 are not
 necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
 year or for any other period.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;10. Collaboration Agreement&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In March 2014, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement
 with Celgene Corporation (&amp;#x201C;Celgene&amp;#x201D;) to develop, seek
 regulatory approval for, and commercialize a companion diagnostic
 assay for use in screening patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell
 Lymphoma. The Company received an upfront payment of $5.8 million
 upon its delivery of certain information to Celgene, and is
 eligible to receive up to $17.0 million in success-based milestone
 payments related to development and regulatory milestones. The
 Company will retain all commercial rights to the diagnostic test
 developed under this collaboration, subject to certain backup
 rights granted to Celgene to commercialize the diagnostic test in a
 particular country if the Company elects to cease distribution or
 elect not to distribute the diagnostic in such country. Assuming
 success in the clinical trial process, and subject to regulatory
 approval, the Company will market and sell the diagnostic assay and
 Celgene has agreed to make certain potential commercial payments to
 the Company in the event sales of the assay do not exceed certain
 pre-specified minimum annual revenues during the first three years
 following regulatory approval.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company achieved and was paid for milestones totaling $6.0
 million during 2014. The process of successfully developing a
 product candidate, obtaining regulatory approval and ultimately
 commercializing a product candidate is highly uncertain and the
 attainment of any additional milestones is therefore uncertain and
 difficult to predict. In addition, certain milestones are outside
 the Company&amp;#x2019;s control and are dependent on the performance of
 Celgene and the outcome of a clinical trial and related regulatory
 processes. Accordingly, the Company is not able to reasonably
 estimate when, if at all, any additional milestone payments may be
 payable to the Company by Celgene.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company uses a proportional performance model to recognize
 revenue over the Company&amp;#x2019;s performance period for the related
 agreement. Costs incurred to date compared to total expected costs
 are used to determine proportional performance, as this is
 considered to be representative of the delivery of outputs under
 the arrangement. Revenue recognized at any point in time is limited
 to cash received and amounts contractually due. Changes in
 estimates of total expected costs are accounted for prospectively
 as a change in estimate. All amounts received or due are classified
 as collaboration revenue as they are earned.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px"&gt;
 &amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 For the three months ended March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015, the Company
 recognized collaboration revenue related to the Celgene agreement
 of $0.7 million. No such amount was recorded for the three months
 ended March&amp;#xA0;31, 2014. At March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015, the Company had
 recorded $8.1 million of deferred revenue related to the
 collaboration, of which $2.0 million is estimated to be recognized
 as revenue within one year.&lt;/p&gt;

 From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation
 relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business.
 Management believes that there are no claims or actions pending
 against the Company currently, the ultimate disposition of which
 would have a material adverse effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s

 In April 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement under
 which it may borrow up to $45.0 million, or up to an aggregate of
 approximately $51.0 million if the Company elects to exercise in
 full an option to defer payment of a portion of the interest that
 would accrue on the borrowing under the term loan agreement. Upon
 initial closing, the Company borrowed $20.0 million, the proceeds
 of which were primarily used to repay the outstanding balance under
 a previous credit facility plus a related $1.0 million end of term
 payment, a $0.3 million make-whole premium, and interest accrued.
 The Company incurred and recorded a total charge to interest
 expense of $1.4 million related to the repayment of its previous
 credit facility including a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6
 million in the second quarter of 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In October 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $10.0 million
 under the term loan agreement. The Company may borrow up to an
 additional $15.0 million under the agreement no later than May
 2015, subject to a revenue requirement. All borrowings under the
 term loan agreement accrue interest at 12.5% annually, payable
 quarterly, of which 3.5% can be deferred during the first four
 years of the term at the Company&amp;#x2019;s option and paid together
 with the principal. During 2014, the Company exercised its option
 to defer payment of the 3.5% accrued interest and is required to
 pay only interest for the first five years of the term. Principal
 payments are due in four equal installments during the sixth year
 of the term. The Company has the option to prepay the term loans,
 in whole or in part, at any time subject to payment of a redemption
 fee of up to 4%, which declines over the term. The term loan
 agreement contains customary conditions to borrowings, events of
 default and negative covenants, including covenants that could
 limit the Company&amp;#x2019;s ability to, among other things, incur
 additional indebtedness, liens or other encumbrances, make
 dividends or other distributions; buy, sell or transfer assets;
 engage in any new line of business; and enter into certain
 transactions with affiliates. The term loan agreement also includes
 liquidity and revenue-based financial covenants. The Company must
 satisfy certain minimum annual revenue requirements, specifically
 $55.0 million for 2015 with annual increases of $15.0 million for
 each fiscal year thereafter. If the Company&amp;#x2019;s actual revenues
 are below the minimum annual revenue requirement for any given
 year, the Company may avoid a related default by generating
 proceeds from an equity or subordinated debt issuance equal to the
 shortfall between its actual revenues and the minimum revenue
 requirement. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of
 March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015. The Company&amp;#x2019;s obligations under the term
 loan agreement are collateralized by substantially all of its
 assets.&lt;/p&gt;

 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
 statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
 subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at
 December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014 has been derived from the audited
 consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include
 all of the information and disclosures required by generally
 accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
 (&amp;#x201C;U.S. GAAP&amp;#x201D;) for annual financial statements. These
 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
 should be read in conjunction with the Company&amp;#x2019;s audited
 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included
 in the Company&amp;#x2019;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
 ended December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014. The accompanying unaudited condensed
 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
 with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
 Commission (&amp;#x201C;SEC&amp;#x201D;) and U.S. GAAP for unaudited
 condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do
 not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.
 GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited
 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
 consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
 management, are necessary for a fair statement of the
 Company&amp;#x2019;s financial position and results of its operations,
 as of and for the periods presented.&lt;/p&gt;

 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
 GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
 affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
 statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
 those estimates. The results of the Company&amp;#x2019;s operations for
 the three month period ended March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015 are not
 necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
 year or for any other period.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company recognizes revenue when (1)&amp;#xA0;persuasive evidence of
 an arrangement exists, (2)&amp;#xA0;delivery has occurred or services
 have been rendered, (3)&amp;#xA0;the price to the customer is fixed or
 determinable and (4)&amp;#xA0;collectability is reasonably assured. The
 Company generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of
 products and services. The Company&amp;#x2019;s products consist of its
 proprietary nCounter Analysis System and related consumables.
 Services consist of extended warranties and service fees for assay
 processing. A delivered product or service is considered to be a
 separate unit of accounting when it has value to the customer on a
 stand-alone basis. Products or services have value on a stand-alone
 basis if they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer
 could resell the delivered product.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Instruments, consumables and &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; diagnostic kits are
 considered to be separate units of accounting as they are sold
 separately and revenue is recognized upon transfer of ownership,
 which is generally upon shipment. Instrument revenue related to
 installation and calibration services is recognized when services
 are rendered by the Company. Such services can also be provided by
 the Company&amp;#x2019;s distribution partners and other third parties.
 For instruments sold for use primarily to run Prosigna assays,
 training must be provided prior to instrument revenue recognition.
 Instrument revenue from leased instruments is recognized ratably
 over the lease term.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Service revenue is recognized when earned, which is generally upon
 the rendering of the related services. Service agreements and
 service fees for assay processing are each considered separate
 units of accounting as they are sold separately. The Company offers
 service agreements on its nCounter Analysis System for periods
 ranging from 12 to 36 months after the end of the standard 12-month
 warranty period. Service agreements are generally separately
 priced. Revenue from service agreements is deferred and recognized
 in income on a straight-line basis over the service period.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px"&gt;
 &amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates
 the agreement consideration at the inception of the agreement to
 the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices. To date,
 selling prices have been established by reference to vendor
 specific objective evidence based on stand-alone sales transactions
 for each deliverable.&amp;#xA0;Vendor specific objective evidence is
 considered to have been established when a substantial majority of
 individual sales transactions within the previous 12 month period
 fall within a reasonably narrow range, which the Company has
 defined to be plus or minus 15% of the median sales price of actual
 stand-alone sales transactions. The Company uses its best estimate
 of selling price for individual deliverables when vendor specific
 objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.
 Allocated revenue is only recognized for each deliverable when the
 revenue recognition criteria have been met.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company enters into collaborative agreements that may generate
 upfront fees with subsequent milestone payments that may be earned
 upon completion of development-related milestones. The Company is
 able to estimate the total cost of services under the arrangements
 and recognizes collaboration revenue using a proportional
 performance model. Costs incurred to date compared to total
 expected costs are used to determine proportional performance, as
 this is considered to be representative of the delivery of outputs
 under the arrangements. Revenue recognized at any point in time is
 limited to cash received and amounts contractually due. Changes in
 estimates of total expected costs are accounted for prospectively
 as a change in estimate. From period to period, collaboration
 revenue can fluctuate substantially based on the achievement of
 development-related milestones.&lt;/p&gt;

 As an &amp;#x201C;emerging growth company,&amp;#x201D; the Jumpstart Our

 or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies
 until such pronouncements are made applicable to private
 companies.&lt;/p&gt;

 In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
 (&amp;#x201C;FASB&amp;#x201D;) issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU &lt;font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"&gt;2014-09,&lt;/font&gt;
 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires
 entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five
 step model, which includes identification of the contract,
 identification of the performance obligations, determination of the
 transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the
 performance obligations, and recognition of revenue as the entity
 satisfies the performance obligations. The standard will become
 effective for the Company beginning January&amp;#xA0;1, 2018. The
 Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the
 potential impact on its consolidated results of operations,
 financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement
 disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In June 2014, FASB issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU 2014-12, Compensation &amp;#x2013; Stock Compensation.&amp;#x201D;
 The standard requires entities that grant their employees
 share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a
 performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved
 after the requisite service period be treated as a performance
 condition. The standard will become effective for the Company
 beginning January&amp;#xA0;1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating
 the guidance to determine the potential impact on its consolidated
 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and
 financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In August 2014, FASB issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements &amp;#x2013;
 Going Concern.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires entities to evaluate
 for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are
 conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
 substantial doubt about the entity&amp;#x2019;s ability to continue as a
 going concern within one year after the date that the financial
 statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the
 financial statements are available to be issued when applicable).
 The standard will become effective for the Company beginning
 January&amp;#xA0;1, 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In February 2015, FASB issued an accounting standards update
 entitled &amp;#x201C;ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation
 Analysis.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires entities to evaluate whether
 they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities
 are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model.
 The standard will become effective for the Company beginning after
 December&amp;#xA0;15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the
 guidance to determine the potential impact on its consolidated
 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and
 financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

 On April&amp;#xA0;7, 2015, FASB issued an accounting standards update
 entitled &amp;#x201C;ASU 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest:
 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.&amp;#x201D; The
 standard requires entities to present debt issuance costs on the
 balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt
 liability rather than as an asset, and the amortization is reported
 as interest expense. The standard will become effective for the
 Company beginning after December&amp;#xA0;15, 2015. The Company is
 currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact
 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition,
 cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

 Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to
 concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
 equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash
 is invested in accordance with the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment
 policy, which includes guidelines intended to minimize and
 diversify credit risk. Most of the Company&amp;#x2019;s investments are
 not federally insured. The Company has credit risk related to the
 collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company performs
 initial and ongoing evaluations of its customers&amp;#x2019; credit
 history or financial position and generally extends credit on
 account without collateral. The Company has not experienced any
 significant credit losses to date as a result of credit risk
 concentration.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company had no customers that individually represented more
 than 10% of total revenue during the three months ended
 March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015 and one during the three months ended
 March&amp;#xA0;31, 2014. The Company had one customer that represented
 more than 10% of total accounts receivable as of March&amp;#xA0;31,
 2015 and one customer that represented more than 10% of total
 accounts receivable as of December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company is also subject to supply chain risks related to the
 outsourcing of the manufacturing and production of its instruments
 to sole suppliers. Although there are a limited number of
 manufacturers for instruments of this type, the Company believes
 that other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable
 terms. Similarly, the Company sources certain raw materials used in
 the manufacture of consumables from certain sole suppliers. A
 change in suppliers could cause a delay in manufacturing and a
 possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating
 results.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company recognizes revenue when (1)&amp;#xA0;persuasive evidence of
 an arrangement exists, (2)&amp;#xA0;delivery has occurred or services
 have been rendered, (3)&amp;#xA0;the price to the customer is fixed or
 determinable and (4)&amp;#xA0;collectability is reasonably assured. The
 Company generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of
 products and services. The Company&amp;#x2019;s products consist of its
 proprietary nCounter Analysis System and related consumables.
 Services consist of extended warranties and service fees for assay
 processing. A delivered product or service is considered to be a
 separate unit of accounting when it has value to the customer on a
 stand-alone basis. Products or services have value on a stand-alone
 basis if they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer
 could resell the delivered product.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Instruments, consumables and &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; diagnostic kits are
 considered to be separate units of accounting as they are sold
 separately and revenue is recognized upon transfer of ownership,
 which is generally upon shipment. Instrument revenue related to
 installation and calibration services is recognized when services
 are rendered by the Company. Such services can also be provided by
 the Company&amp;#x2019;s distribution partners and other third parties.
 For instruments sold for use primarily to run Prosigna assays,
 training must be provided prior to instrument revenue recognition.
 Instrument revenue from leased instruments is recognized ratably
 over the lease term.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Service revenue is recognized when earned, which is generally upon
 the rendering of the related services. Service agreements and
 service fees for assay processing are each considered separate
 units of accounting as they are sold separately. The Company offers
 service agreements on its nCounter Analysis System for periods
 ranging from 12 to 36 months after the end of the standard 12-month
 warranty period. Service agreements are generally separately
 priced. Revenue from service agreements is deferred and recognized
 in income on a straight-line basis over the service period.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px"&gt;
 &amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates
 the agreement consideration at the inception of the agreement to
 the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices. To date,
 selling prices have been established by reference to vendor
 specific objective evidence based on stand-alone sales transactions
 for each deliverable.&amp;#xA0;Vendor specific objective evidence is
 considered to have been established when a substantial majority of
 individual sales transactions within the previous 12 month period
 fall within a reasonably narrow range, which the Company has
 defined to be plus or minus 15% of the median sales price of actual
 stand-alone sales transactions. The Company uses its best estimate
 of selling price for individual deliverables when vendor specific
 objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.
 Allocated revenue is only recognized for each deliverable when the
 revenue recognition criteria have been met.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The Company enters into collaborative agreements that may generate
 upfront fees with subsequent milestone payments that may be earned
 upon completion of development-related milestones. The Company is
 able to estimate the total cost of services under the arrangements
 and recognizes collaboration revenue using a proportional
 performance model. Costs incurred to date compared to total
 expected costs are used to determine proportional performance, as
 this is considered to be representative of the delivery of outputs
 under the arrangements. Revenue recognized at any point in time is
 limited to cash received and amounts contractually due. Changes in
 estimates of total expected costs are accounted for prospectively
 as a change in estimate. From period to period, collaboration
 revenue can fluctuate substantially based on the achievement of
 development-related milestones.&lt;/p&gt;

 The Company invests in securities that are rated investment grade
 or better. The unrealized losses on investments as of
 March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015 and December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014 were primarily
 caused by interest rate increases.&lt;/p&gt;

 The Company reviews the individual securities in its portfolio to
 determine whether a decline in a security&amp;#x2019;s fair value below
 the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. The Company
 determined that as of March&amp;#xA0;31, 2015, there were no
 investments in its portfolio that were other-than-temporarily
 impaired.&lt;/p&gt;

 The Company establishes the fair value of its assets and

 or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction

 hierarchy is used to measure fair value. The three levels of the
 fair value hierarchy are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

 The recorded amounts of certain financial instruments, including
 cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts
 payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to
 their relatively short-term maturities. The recorded amount of the
 Company&amp;#x2019;s long-term debt approximates fair value because the
 related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the
 Company.&lt;/p&gt;

 As an &amp;#x201C;emerging growth company,&amp;#x201D; the Jumpstart Our
 Business Startups Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new
 or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies
 until such pronouncements are made applicable to private
 companies.&lt;/p&gt;

 In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
 (&amp;#x201C;FASB&amp;#x201D;) issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU &lt;font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"&gt;2014-09,&lt;/font&gt;
 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires
 entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five
 step model, which includes identification of the contract,
 identification of the performance obligations, determination of the
 transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the
 performance obligations, and recognition of revenue as the entity
 satisfies the performance obligations. The standard will become
 effective for the Company beginning January&amp;#xA0;1, 2018. The
 Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the
 potential impact on its consolidated results of operations,
 financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement
 disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

 In June 2014, FASB issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU 2014-12, Compensation &amp;#x2013; Stock Compensation.&amp;#x201D;
 The standard requires entities that grant their employees
 share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a
 performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved
 after the requisite service period be treated as a performance
 condition. The standard will become effective for the Company
 beginning January&amp;#xA0;1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating
 the guidance to determine the potential impact on its consolidated
 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and
 financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In August 2014, FASB issued an accounting standards update entitled
 &amp;#x201C;ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements &amp;#x2013;
 Going Concern.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires entities to evaluate
 for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are
 conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
 substantial doubt about the entity&amp;#x2019;s ability to continue as a
 going concern within one year after the date that the financial
 statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the
 financial statements are available to be issued when applicable).
 The standard will become effective for the Company beginning
 January&amp;#xA0;1, 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In February 2015, FASB issued an accounting standards update
 entitled &amp;#x201C;ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation
 Analysis.&amp;#x201D; The standard requires entities to evaluate whether
 they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities
 are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model.
 The standard will become effective for the Company beginning after
 December&amp;#xA0;15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the
 guidance to determine the potential impact on its consolidated
 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and
 financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

 On April&amp;#xA0;7, 2015, FASB issued an accounting standards update
 entitled &amp;#x201C;ASU 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest:
 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.&amp;#x201D; The
 standard requires entities to present debt issuance costs on the
 balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt
 liability rather than as an asset, and the amortization is reported
 as interest expense. The standard will become effective for the
 Company beginning after December&amp;#xA0;15, 2015. The Company is
 currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact
 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition,
 cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

 The Company establishes the fair value of its assets and
 liabilities using the price that would be received to sell an asset
 or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction
 between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value
 hierarchy is used to measure fair value. The three levels of the
 fair value hierarchy are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

 The recorded amounts of certain financial instruments, including
 cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts
 payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to
 their relatively short-term maturities. The recorded amount of the
 Company&amp;#x2019;s long-term debt approximates fair value because the
 related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the
 Company.&lt;/p&gt;
