Commitments

 

Operating Leases. During 2025, we leased combined office and laboratory space in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia area under an operating lease agreement which expired on December 31, 2025. In August and September 2025, we entered into new agreements for the lease of separate office and laboratory spaces. Each of these agreements provided access to the respective spaces beginning November 1, 2025 for three-year original terms, with periodic base rent adjustments throughout the terms. During April 2026, the landlord for the facility where our laboratory operations are conducted informed us that the facility is now planned for closure effective September 30, 2026; therefore, our lease will end as of that date. As of June 30, 2026, the remaining terms of our office and laboratory leases are 2.3 years and 0.3 years, respectively.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet represent the present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease terms. Payments for additional fees to cover the Company's share of certain facility expenses are not included in operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. We use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of its lease payments, as the implicit rates in the leases are not readily determinable. As a result of the modification to our laboratory lease discussed above, we remeasured the lease liability and made a corresponding adjustment to reduce the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset; the adjusted balances are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.

 

Total operating lease expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 was $78,045 and $154,418, respectively, as compared to $48,177 and $96,355, respectively, for the same periods of 2025. The following table summarizes the Company’s remaining undiscounted cash payment obligations for its operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2026:

License Agreements. We have entered into license agreements for various technologies and patent rights associated with our product development activities. These agreements may contain provisions for upfront payments, milestone fees due upon the achievement of selected development and regulatory events, minimum annual royalties or other fees, and royalties based on future net sales. Due to the uncertainty of the achievement and timing of the contingent events requiring payment under these agreements, the amounts to be paid by us in the future are not determinable.

 

Other Commitments. In the normal course of business, we enter into various contracts and purchase commitments including those with contract research organizations (“CROs”) for clinical trial services, contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for production of materials for use in our clinical trials, and other independent contractors or academic institutions for preclinical research activities and other services and products. Most contracts are generally cancellable, with notice, at the Company’s option. Payments due upon cancellation may consist of payments for services provided or expenses incurred to date, or cancellation penalties depending on the time of cancellation.
