PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Amyris, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense because of the significant time and resources that were devoted to the accounting for and disclosure of the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018 and related disclosure. These activities delayed the completion of the Form 10-Q.

 

As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2017, the Company identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to an ineffective control environment, risk assessment process, and information and communication process. As part of the ongoing remediation efforts, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company hired experienced personnel with qualifications in accounting leadership and technical accounting and will take further actions to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
