Schedule of Intangible Assets Accumulated Amortization  

The defensive technology intangible asset of $2.1 million (and approximately $0.2 million of accumulated amortization) was recognized by the Company as of the April 1, 2022 effective date of the transfer of CapNostics, LLC (“CapNostics”) to the Company from PAVmed Subsidiary Corp (a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAVmed). The transfer was accounted for as entities under common control. The defensive technology intangible asset was recognized by PAVmed Subsidiary Corp upon its acquisition of CapNostics, an unrelated third-party, for total purchase consideration paid on the October 5, 2021 acquisition date of approximately $2.1 million in cash. The CapNostics transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, resulting in the recognition of the defensive technology intangible asset. The defensive technology intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an expected useful life 60 months commencing on the acquisition date.

As noted in Note 6, Asset Purchase Agreement and Management Services Agreement, the asset purchase agreement between the Company and ResearchDx Inc. (“APA-RDx”), is being accounted for as an asset acquisition. The intangible assets recognized under the APA-RDx are the laboratory licenses and certifications (inclusive of a CLIA certification, CAP accreditation, and clinical laboratory licenses for five (5) U.S. States transferred to the Company from RDx), and a laboratory information management software perpetual-use royalty-free license granted under the APA-RDx, with such intangible asset having a useful life of twenty-four months commencing on the APA-RDx February 25, 2022 transaction date.
