NOTE 15: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company evaluates all contractual agreements at inception to determine if they contain a lease. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, using a discounted cash flow model that requires the use of a discount rate, or incremental borrowing rate. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are considered short-term operating leases and no asset or liability is recognized.

 

The Company's operating lease consists of an office lease. On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space for monthly rent of $2 for a term of 12 months, with no renewal options, commencing January 1, 2023. On June 26, 2023, the Company terminated the existing lease without additional cost and entered a new operating lease for office space with the same landlord for monthly rent of $3 for a term of 12 months commencing July 1, 2023, with no renewal options. 

 

The Company had lease expense under its office lease during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $10 and $17, respectively. Lease expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3 and $12, respectively. 

 

Litigation and Contingencies

 

The Company is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. On August 18, 2023, Intas Pharmaceuticals LTD. (the Petitioner) filed a Petition for Post Grant Review (PGR) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the PGR Petition), seeking to invalidate one of the Company's issued patents (U.S. Patent No. 11,572,334) titled “Methods for Making and Using Endoxifen” (the Patent) on the grounds of anticipation and obviousness. The Company intends to contest the Petition and believes that the Patent was properly granted and is valid and enforceable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in contesting the Petition. The PGR proceedings, as of the date of this filing, the Company does not believe that there are any other pending legal proceedings or other loss contingencies that will, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Contractual obligations represent the Company's future cash commitments and liabilities under agreements with third party clinical trial service providers. Apart from contracts with a third party clinical trial service provider, such agreements are cancellable upon written notice by the Company. The non-cancellable contracts expire upon completion of the study and release of the final report, or the contracts may be terminated by the clinical trial service provider, by the FDA or another governmental agency. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's estimated non-cancellable commitment was $5,638.
