6. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset, OncoHist, is in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) relating to the Company’s business combination with SymbioTec in 2012. IPR&D is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, although it is to be tested at least annually until the project is completed or abandoned. The Company completed an impairment analysis of the IPR&D during 2020 and concluded that the following factors indicated that the IPR&D was impaired: a decision by management to delay indefinitely any further development of the IPR&D and to not support the underlying intellectual property; the failure to sell or license the IPR&D to a third party; and the reduction in market capitalization. The Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $9.2 million during the third quarter of 2020 representing the excess of the IPR&D asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. A reconciliation of the change in the carrying value of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets is as follows: 

       
Balance as of January 1, 2020   $ 9,243,128  
Impairment     (9,243,128 )
