In March 2021, Purex received an update from Amazon regarding a new Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulation. Following the new EPA regulation, Amazon categorized Purex’s product as a pesticide product. Amazon requires that pesticide products be filed with evidence of an EPA registration number and/or EPA Establishment number or certification that the product is exempt from EPA regulation, otherwise the existing listing (of the product) may be subject to removal. The Group examined the related costs following the requirement to comply with such regulations and decided to write off the intangible asset balance in a total amount of $87 thousands during 2021 following the EPA regulation update.
