INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

On January 20, 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with Pinata Holdings, Inc. (“Pinata”) pursuant to which the Company obtained the exclusive right to use another party’s enteric coating technology with respect to its metformin-related products, including products containing metformin and liraglutide. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company obtained the non-exclusive right to use another party’s enteric coating technology with respect to liraglutide-related products. The license agreement required no upfront payment by the Company but instead provided for a royalty payment to be made by the Company on a percentage basis of net sales of the products described above.

 

On April 1, 2024, AEC Merger Sub Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Altanine, Inc., merged with Pinata with Pinata being the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, Pinata became a wholly owned subsidiary of Altanine, Inc. In addition, as part of the merger transaction, the license agreement referred to above between Altanine, Inc. and Pinata was terminated. The acquisition of Pinata enhances the Company’s intellectual property portfolio. For accounting purposes, the transaction was recorded as an asset acquisition pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50. As consideration for the asset acquisition, shareholders of Pinata received shares equal to 28% of the outstanding and issued shares of the Company. Based on the ASC 805 Business Combinations, the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. The assets of Pinata were valued by an independent valuation firm. The transaction included Pinata’s patents valued at $10,041,591 and assumption of liabilities of 137,711. The fair value of the consideration was determined by valuating the post-merger enterprise value.

 

The consideration to Pinata’s shareholders was $9,903,880 paid in common stock of the Company. The fair value of the consideration was determined by valuating the post-merger enterprise value. Pursuant to ASC 805-50-30-1 the cost of a group of assets acquired in a transaction that is not a business acquisition shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Indeed, the total acquisition cost, including the transaction costs is allocated among the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date.

 

The following table shows the allocation of the total consideration to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities:

  

Identifiable assets and liabilities  April 1, 2024 
Patents  $10,041,591 
Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance   - 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (137,711)
      
Total consideration  $9,903,880 

 

The Company capitalized $10,041,591 of acquired patents through an asset acquisition of Pinata Holdings, Inc. Patents acquired from third parties are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 10 to 20 years.

Management evaluates the carrying value of patents for indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Based on this assessment, management determined that there were no indicators of impairment and therefore no impairment losses were recognized for the periods presented.
