Note 8 – Leases

 

The Company has various lease agreements, including leases of office space, a laboratory and manufacturing facility, and various equipment. Some leases include purchase, termination or extension options for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

 

The assets and liabilities from operating and finance leases are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. The Company’s operating leases do not provide implicit rates, therefore the Company utilized a discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate to record the lease obligations. The Company’s finance leases provide readily determinable implicit rates.

 

 

Operating lease obligations

 

On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into a 10-year, 3-month lease of laboratory and manufacturing space in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The lease began in August 2017. The monthly rent started at approximately $43, increasing to approximately $64 in the final year. To obtain the lease, the Company provided an initial security deposit of $586 which was subsequently reduced and was $200 at December 31, 2025. The Company filed a complaint against COE Bridgewater, LLC (its “Landlord”) in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset County, Chancery Division on July 11, 2025 alleging principally that Landlord illegally locked the Company out of its leased premises in Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result of the illegal lockout, the Company sought (among other things) a declaration that the lease and all obligations thereunder, including rent, terminated as of the date of the lockout. On September 5, 2025, Landlord filed an answer with counterclaims, which it amended on December 12, 2025. In the counterclaims, Landlord sought a declaration that there was no lockout, or that the lockout was justified, and therefore the lease remains in effect. Landlord also sought damages for the Company’s alleged failure to pay approximately $205 in rent (as of December 31, 2025) following the lockout, and alleged conversion of certain furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) items within the premises belonging to Landlord. The matter was resolved by way of Termination of Lease and Release Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) effective April 7, 2026, pursuant to which the Company made a termination payment of $765 (which was satisfied with the $200 security deposit and a cash payment of $565) in return for discontinuation of the action, termination of the lease, and an exchange of mutual general releases. As a result of the lease termination, the Company recorded a gain of $368, and the Company exited the Bridgewater premises on April 29, 2026 pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

 

The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $3 and $171 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $104 and $345 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company incurred amortization expense on its operating lease right-of-use assets of $3 and $111 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $77 and $218 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company incurred interest expense on its finance leases of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company incurred amortization expense on its finance lease right-of-use assets of $1 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1 and $2 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
