Apexian Sublicense Agreement
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with Apexian Pharmaceuticals, Inc., pursuant to which it obtained exclusive worldwide patent and other intellectual property rights.
In exchange for the patent and other intellectual rights, the Company agreed to certain milestone payments and royalty payments on future sales (See Note 8 — Apexian Sublicense Agreement). As of June 30, 2024, there was sufficient
uncertainty with regard to any future cash milestone payments under the sublicense agreement that no liabilities were recorded related to the sublicense agreement.
Facility Leases
The Company has a short-term, non-cancellable facility lease (the “HQ Lease”) for its headquarters. The HQ Lease qualified for the
short-term lease exception under ASC 842, Leases. The monthly base rent for the HQ Lease is approximately $3,000. The rent expense associated with the HQ Lease amounted to $9,000
during each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $18,000 during each of the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The total remaining expected rental payments under the HQ Lease amount to $18,000
through its current expiration date of December 31, 2024.
Other
In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Company may be subject to a broad range of claims and legal proceedings that
relate to contractual allegations and patent infringement, employment and other claims. In addition, the Company from time to time may be potentially committed to reimburse third parties for costs incurred associated with business
development related transactions upon the achievement of certain milestones. The Company establishes accruals when applicable for matters and commitments which it believes losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. To date, no
loss contingency for such matters and potential commitments have been recorded. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters or potential commitments, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate
resolution of these matters and potential commitments will not have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
