NOTE 8 – LEASES

 

The Company leases space under operating leases for manufacturing and laboratory facilities in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as administrative offices in New York, New York. The Company also leases 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, the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude these short-term leases from the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

 

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that they were pursuing a strategic partner to take over development activities of ABO-102 and that the Company was 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, the Company recorded an impairment charge of nil and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

The following table provides a summary of the components of lease costs and rent (in thousands):
