Audeo Oncology Intangible Assets Calculation

Intangible assets are defined as identifiable non-monetary assets that cannot be seen, touched or physically measured. Examples of intangible assets include trade secrets, copyrights, patents, trademarks. If a company acquires assets at the prices above the book value, it may carry goodwill on its balance sheet. Goodwill reflects the difference between the price the company paid and the book value of the assets.


Audeo Oncology  (DELISTED:AURX) Intangible Assets Explanation

If a company (company A) received a patent through their own work, though it has value, it does not show up on its balance sheet as an intangible asset. However, if company A sells this patent to company B, it will show up on company B's balance sheet as an intangible asset.

The same applies to brand names, trade secrets etc. For instance, Coca-Cola's brand is extremely valuable, but the brand does not appear on its balance sheet, because the brand was never acquired.

Some intangibles are amortized. Amortization is the depreciation of intangible assets.

Many intangibles are not amortized. They may still be written down when the company decides the asset is impaired.

Whenever you see an increase in goodwill over a number of years, you can assume it's because the company is out buying other businesses above book value. GOOD if buying businesses with durable competitive advantage.

If goodwill stays the same, the company when acquiring other companies is either paying less than book value or not acquiring. Businesses with moats never sell for less than book value.

Intangibles acquired are on balance sheet at fair value.

Internally developed brand names (Coke, Wrigleys, Band-Aid) however are not reflected on the balance sheet.

One of the reasons competitive advantage power can remain hidden for so long.


Be Aware

Companies may change the way intangible assets are amortized, and this will affect their reported earnings.

Traded in Other Exchanges
N/A
Address
Audeo Oncology, Inc was incorporated in Delaware in June 2012. It is a late stage biopharmaceutical company utilizing its Hyaluronic Acid Chemotransport Technology, or HyACT, to target cancer drugs preferentially to tumor cells to enhance drug activity. HyACT is a flexible platform technology designed to increase the effectiveness of anti-cancer agents without increasing treatment toxicity. It seeks to reduce the risks related to drug development by using known anti-cancer drugs, and aim to enhance their commercial value by improving their effectiveness. The Company's lead HyACT product candidate, HA-Irinotecan, is currently in a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for metastatic colorectal cancer, or mCRC. HA-Irinotecan is also in an investigator-sponsored Phase II clinical trial for small cell lung cancer, or SCLC. It also has two other HyACT product candidates that have successfully completed Phase I clinical trials. In addition to its current clinical-stage product candidates, it aims to develop a pipeline of product candidates by exploiting its significant know-how in cancer stem cell biology and cancer metabolism combined with the Versatile Assembly on Stable Templates, or VAST, molecule drug discovery technology that it will in-license. The Company's lead product candidate is HyACT-targeted irinotecan, or HA-Irinotecan, for the treatment of mCRC. Irinotecan, which is marketed in major markets by Pfizer as Camptosar, is an off-patent chemotherapy drug widely used in the treatment of mCRC. Government authorities in the United States (including federal, state and local authorities) and in other countries extensively regulate the manufacture, research, clinical development, labeling, packaging, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, advertising, promotion, export and import of pharmaceutical products, such as those it is developing.
