NOTE 8 – LEASES

 

We lease space under operating leases for manufacturing and laboratory facilities in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as administrative offices in New York, New York. We also lease office space in Madrid, Spain as well as certain office equipment under operating leases, which have a non-cancelable lease term of less than one year and, therefore, we have elected the practical expedient to exclude these short-term leases from our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

 

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that we were pursuing a strategic partner to take over development activities of ABO-102 and that we were discontinuing development of ABO-101. As a result of this shift in priorities, the Company determined the portion of the lease which was dedicated to the future facility for the ABO-101 and ABO-102 programs, had no future value and thus, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
