The research is governed by a strategic agenda to demonstrate the feasibility of rejuvenation biotechnologies, as a natural extension of regenerative medicine as applied to aging, and therefore drive broader involvement. 0 0 1007770 Intramural Research - The intramural research program is carried out in the Organization's Mountain View facility by employees of the Organization. The program emphasizes the application of regenerative medicine to age-related disease, with the intent of repairing underlying damage to the body's tissues, cells, and molecules. The Organizations goal is to help build the industry that will cure the diseases and disabilities of aging. 1851956 1710926 Extramural research - the extramural research program funds some of the most prestigious institutions around the world. The goal of this program is identical to the intramural research program. Funding for extramural projects is prioritized in situations where relevant expertise is available to carry out aspects of research currently unaddressed in intramural efforts. 124667 16000 Academic Initiative - As part of its mission, the Organization is committed to educating students and the public about rejuvenation biotechnologies. The Organizations student program, SRF Education Academic Initiative, is committed to educating students and the public about rejuvenation biotechnologies. SRF Education operates a summer internship program that places students at the SRF Research Center and outside institutions; provides students with guidance, mentorship, and materials grants for SENS-related research projects; and is developing online coursework. 333425 170658 Educational Conferences - In addition to participation in a variety of scientific and public engagements, the Organization organizes its own conferences and events. These include the SENS conferences held in Cambridge every other year (not held in 2012), and a variety of roundtable symposiums. This outreach is intended to inform both the scientific community and the general public about damage repair strategy for improving healthcare 391036 Other prgorams - The Organization conduct other programs related to the mission of the organziation 724461 170658 3708854 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X The Organization 6509386100 110 Pioneer Way J Mountain View CA 94041 BARBARA LOGAN Chairperson 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN DEWALT Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN PERROTT Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BILL LIAO Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES O'NEILL Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN CAIN Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL KOPE President/CEO 50.00 X X 195000 0 0 AUBREY DE GREY Chief Science Officer 50.00 X 48000 0 0 TANYA JONES Chief Operating Officer 50.00 X 121167 0 0 364167 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 1631037 15030 1631037 Conference registratio 611600 170658 170658 170658 7822 7822 Loss on disposal of as 900099 -2320 -2320 -2320 1807197 170658 0 5502 960318 960318 147414 147414 619194 619194 364167 118700 191950 53517 965899 828264 132567 5068 195638 148435 42368 4835 114369 80400 28687 5282 334369 179127 155242 9134 9134 16456 880 15576 100068 55434 44634 109343 44539 50839 13965 334442 330032 2949 1461 59412 42123 17289 20203 20203 Equipment and supplies 149653 149653 Telephone and telecommu 16683 660 16023 Printing and production 13989 1258 12731 Other Business expenses 12838 379 12459 5811 2044 3767 4549400 3708854 756418 84128 767412 2174293 11241867 7113752 35156 801 372856 102619 176030 270237 1463 12220465 9560546 58066 227963 58066 227963 X 612978 108708 11549421 9223875 12162399 9332583 12220465 9560546 X -2742203 -87613 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1282171 1110758 1381425 1875851 1616007 7266212 1282171 1110758 1381425 1875851 1616007 7266212 5709155 1557057 5764 7822 13586 11588 11588 7291386 324058 0.21350 X The SENS Research Foundation ("SRF") meets the facts and circumstances test of section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3). The Organization maintains a qualifying program for solicitation of funds and the Organization is of the nature of an organization which is publicly supported.The Organization normally receives a substantial part of its support from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public. The percentage of support normally received by the Organization from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public is at least 10 percent of the total support normally received by the Organization. In the 2013 tax year, 21% of SRF's support came from public funding. SRF's financial support consists of a combination of foundations, corporations, government bodies, and individual donors. In addition to continued financial support from existing donors, SRF plans to solicit contributions through phone, email, as well as donations made on the SRF website. SRF is optimistic that the number of supporters will grow further in the coming year. The Organization also maintains a continuous and bona-fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public or community. Since the Organization is in its early years of existence, it has limited the scope of its solicitation to persons or organizations deemed most likely to provide seed money in an amount sufficient to enable it to commence its charitable activities and expand its solicitation program. Additionally, the following facts and circumstances are pertinent to the Organization:The SENS Research Foundation ("SRF") works to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of aging. It is achieving this goal through a combination of scientific research projects, educational programs, and outreach efforts. SRF's governing body is representative of the broad interests of the public. There are 7 directors on its board, including scientists, educators, and business people with experience and connections to universities, medical centers, and the scientific community. SRF's directors are internationally positioned to better support the global community's needs.SRF routinely publishes results of funded projects in peer-reviewed journals and presents those findings at internationally attended scientific conferences. SRF has a routinely updated listing of all its publications at http://sens.org/research/recent-publications that is made readily available to the general public. SRF puts on an academic conference bi-annually at Queens' College in Cambridge, UK. The SENS6 conference in 2013 had 70 academic presentations, including talks from all SRF-sponsored researchers. In addition, videos of all presentations have been made available at no cost on the SRF website and YouTube channel. Members of the scientific community, educators, and medical professionals participate in SRF projects. We have 15 extramural research projects that include Harvard University, Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Stanford University, Yale University, and Cambridge University, as well at 3 intramural research projects at the SRF Research Center in Mountain View, California. SRF also has a 24-member, world-class Research Advisory Board featuring leading scientists in the international community. SRF's educational program hosts research scholars and volunteers throughout the academic year at their Research Center, as well as their nationally and internationally affiliated organizations.

The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. As of December 31, 2013, management did not identify any uncertain tax positions.
