Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method based on useful lives as follows (in thousands):

    December 31,
2021
 
                 
Laboratory equipment   5   $ 8,619     $ 9,081

Subtotal         19,131       22,799  
Less: accumulated depreciation         (11,671 )     (10,460 )
Total property and equipment, net       $ 7,460     $ 12,339  

 

Depreciation expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss on disposal of equipment of $0.1 million which is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that it was pursuing a strategic partner to take over development activities of ABO-102 and that it was discontinuing development of ABO-101. As a result of this shift in priorities, the Company determined the construction-in-progress that was dedicated to the ABO-101 and ABO-102 programs had no future value, and thus, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received a $1.5 million refund from a vendor related to the proposed construction-in-progress and recorded a reduction of the impairment charge of $1.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net impairment charge recorded was $1.8 million.
