Goodwill from 2019 Reverse Merger with Oncotelic and Merger with PointR

 

The Company completed the reverse merger with Oncotelic Inc. (“Merger”) in April 2019. The Company completed the merger with PointR Data Inc (“PointR Merger”) in November 2019. For more details on the two mergers, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed by the Company on April 15, 2021.

 

The Oncotelic merger gave rise to Goodwill of approximately $4.9 million. Upon the non-financial sale of our asset as contribution to our equity method investment, we derecognized the balance of the carrying value of our goodwill of approximately $4.9 million from the Oncotelic Merger in accordance with our policy and authoritative accounting guidance.

 

Further, we added goodwill of $16,182,456 upon the completion of the Merger with PointR.

 

We have one operating segment and reporting unit. Accordingly, our review of goodwill impairment indicators was performed at the entity-wide level. In performing our annual impairment assessment, we determined if we should qualitatively assess whether it was more likely than not the fair value of goodwill was less than its carrying amount (the qualitative impairment test). The factors we considered in the assessment included our market capitalization, general macroeconomic conditions, conditions specific to the industry and market and whether there had been sustained declines in our share price. If we concluded, it was more likely than not, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, or elected not to use the qualitative impairment test, a quantitative impairment test would be performed.

 

We used our market capitalization as an indicator of fair value. While we believe the fair value measurement need not be based solely on the quoted market price of an individual share of our Common Stock, and that we also could consider the impact of a control premium in measuring the fair value of its reporting unit. In the absence of any other valuation metrics, the Company believed using a control premium utilized would not be appropriate under the current circumstances. We also considered some other market comparables, trends in our stock price as well as the industry over a period of two successive quarters and prospective quarter to evaluate whether the fair value of our reporting unit was greater than our carrying amount. As such, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill for our single reporting unit at the end of 2022, due to a sustained decline in our market capitalization and an increase in negative economic outlook for biotech markets We estimated and reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit utilizing our market capitalization based on the stock price of our Common Stock as of December 31, 2022. Before completing our goodwill impairment test, we first tested our indefinite-lived intangible asset then our remaining long-lived assets for impairment. We concluded our indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. Based on the market capitalization, we further concluded the fair value of our single reporting unit was less than its carrying value and therefore recognized an impairment charge of $4.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The calculation of the impairment charge included substantial fact-based determinations and estimates. The goodwill impairment charge is reflected as goodwill impairment in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

A summary of our goodwill as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is shown below:

 

   December 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Balance at beginning of the year ended  $21,062,455   $21,062,455 
Less: Derecognition upon recording of gain on non-financial asset   (4,880,000)   - 
Less; Goodwill impairment due to market capitalization   (4,111,079)   - 
           
Balance at the end of the year ended  $12,071,376   $21,062,455 

 

In general, the goodwill is tested on an annual impairment date of December 31, unless we observe any further deterioration in our market capitalization, in which case we may, depending on the materiality of the impairment, record an impairment at the end of other reporting periods.
