Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset, OncoHist, is 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. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $9.2 million, which is presented within operating costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, 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 )
Balance as of December 31, 2020   $
