Note 7 — Investment in Atomistic

In November 2023, Atomistic successfully reached seven of twelve technological milestones under its technology license agreement (Note 6) with the Company executed on December 16, 2022. As a result of these achievements, the Company issued to the Atomistic Founders 1,397,500 shares of the Company's common stock and paid them $2,500,000 in exchange for 13,682 shares of Series A Preferred stock of Atomistic. The fair market value of the common shares when issued was $2.35 per share or a total of $3,284,125.

Subsequently, and in addition to the write-off of the Atomistic technology license discussed in Note 6, based upon the fact that Atomistic has lost future funding from the Company and most likely will not have adequate funds on its own to complete the project without raising additional funding from other third parties, the Company also determined the equity investment has been impaired and the Company recorded a charge of $5,784,125 for the period ended December 31, 2024. The Company will retain an equity interest in Atomistic, the right to appoint a member to the Atomistic board of directors and certain other rights as an equity owner pursuant to the stock purchase agreement and shareholders’ agreement entered into in connection with the License Agreement. The Company’s equity interest in Atomistic entitles it to a preferential allocation to 49% of the distributable amounts in the event of a liquidation event, such as an acquisition of Atomistic or its assets.

   

Future royalties of the license and the 49% liquidation preferred allocation value, if any, are considered gain contingencies and will not be recorded until any specific events materialize.  At this specific point in time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a value for these contingencies and therefore recorded a full impairment against the license and the investment in Atomistic preferred shares due to such uncertainty of potential outcomes.
