Note 6 – Other Intangible Assets

On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Formosa License”) with Formosa Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Formosa”), whereby the Company acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to commercialize any product related to a novel formulation of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension, 0.05% (the “Formosa Licensed Product”), which was approved by the FDA for ophthalmic use for inflammation and pain after ocular surgery and supplemental disease indications, if any, associated with the New Drug Application for the Formosa Licensed Product. The Formosa License had a term of ten years from the date of the first commercial sale of a Formosa Licensed Product, unless earlier terminated. The Company paid Formosa the aggregate amount of $2.0 million (the “Upfront Payment”), consisting of (a) cash in the amount of $1.0 million and (b) 6,097 shares of common stock, which is included in intangible assets on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company also capitalized $122,945 of transaction costs, which were primarily legal expenses. In addition to the Upfront Payment, the Company must pay Formosa up to $4.0 million upon the achievement of certain development milestones and up to $80.0 million upon the achievement of certain sales milestones. The trigger for the initial $2.0 million development milestone payments was FDA approval of the Formosa Licensed Product and the effective date of the acceptance by the Company of the transfer and assignment of the FDA approval. This occurred on March 14, 2024. Based on the achievement of that milestone, the Company paid Formosa the aggregate amount of $2.0 million, consisting of (a) cash in the amount of $1.0 million on April 26, 2024 and (b) 7,668 shares of common stock on April 29, 2024 (calculated pursuant to the Formosa License using a five-day volume-weighted average price on March 14, 2024, but valued at $0.4 million on the April 29, 2024 settlement date, resulting in a $0.6 million change in fair value of the equity consideration payable), which was included in net impairment of intangible assets at December 31, 2024. The second $2.0 million development milestone (to be fully paid in cash) was earned upon FDA approval of the Formosa Licensed Product and payment was triggered on the earlier of twelve months after FDA approval or six months following the first commercial sale of the Formosa Licensed Product. Because the payment became probable and estimable, the Company recorded an additional $2.0 million increase in the intangible asset which was included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2024.

It was determined that the transaction represented an asset acquisition, rather than a business combination, because substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Consequently, the accounting is pursuant to the cost accumulation model. The Upfront Payment has been capitalized as an intangible asset by the Company.

In October 2024, the Company had its first commercial sale of the Licensed Product, however, due to the uncertainty associated with its clobetasol propionate product, the Company impaired the full $6.1 million carrying value of the Formosa License at December 31, 2024.

On June 6, 2025, the Company and Formosa entered into the Mutual Termination Agreement, whereby the License Agreement (and all other agreements between the Company and Formosa) would be terminated, subject to certain terms and conditions. Formosa and the Company each agreed to provide the other party with a release of all claims, including Formosa releasing the Company from total obligations of $2.2 million. The Company met the conditions to be released from the obligations in July 2025 and the liabilities were extinguished at that time. The resulting income is presented on the Statement of Operations in Gain on extinguishment of liabilities.
