Note 7 – Asset Purchase of Intellectual Property

 

On January 18, 2024, Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Optex Systems, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement and a contract manufacturing agreement with RUB Aluminium s.r.o. (“RUB”). Under the agreements, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and technical and marketing information relating to the Speedtracker Mach product line, which is primarily used for firearm projectile speed detection, measuring and tracking. RUB may continue to manufacture Speedtracker Mach products on behalf of the Company. The Company acquired the assets using $1 million cash on hand, with potential additional future cash payments based on successful completion of defined milestones. The initial term of the contract manufacturing agreement is one year, subject to additional one-year renewal terms to which both parties must agree. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company has determined it would be more economical to move the manufacturing operations in house and is no longer ordering assembled units against the contract manufacturing agreement.

 

The acquisition included transaction costs of $30 thousand for legal fees. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the total earnout payment would have been $238 thousand only if the earnout revenue milestones were achieved during the earnout period, otherwise the earnout would be zero. As of January 18, 2024, the fair value of the contingent liability was $83 thousand. As of September 29, 2024, it was determined that the revenue milestones related to the earnout agreement would be unachievable within the earnout period and the fair value of the contingent liability related to the earnout was set to zero. The intangible asset for the Speedtracker product acquisition will be amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years.

 

 

Subsequent to the asset purchases, the Company invested an additional $30 thousand for software app development for the Speedtracker product. The software app development will be amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

 

Unlike indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, which are required to be tested for impairment at least annually, ASC 360-10 does not require annual impairment testing for long-lived assets that are held and used. Instead, a long-lived asset (asset group) that is held and used should be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable regardless of whether such carrying amount is zero or negative. Due to delays in the Speedtracker product line launch during the twelve months ended September 29, 2024, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the intangible assets as of September 29, 2024 and found no impairment. We continue to monitor the recoverability of the asset as we launch the product in April 2025 and move to full production levels over the next six months.

 

As of March 30, 2025 and September 29, 2024 the value of intangible assets was:
