4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE FOR SALE

On March 19, 2017, the Company entered into the Novartis Asset Purchase Agreement under which the Company agreed to sell and assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the patent rights, know-how and third-party license agreements relating to the Platform. In anticipation of the sale of such assets under the Novartis Asset Purchase Agreement, substantially all of the Company’s lab research activities have terminated. As a result, the Company determined to dispose of all of its lab equipment and initiated a program in March 2017 to locate a buyer and offer such equipment for sale at a current market price. The Company reclassified $386,000 of such equipment as available for sale on the balance sheet. The Company recorded an impairment charge in March 2017 of $102,000 based on the quoted market price from the sale of the assets, completed in early April 2017, which is included in operating expenses.
