10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease

Effective July 1, 2019, we entered into a 76-month lease for office space in Cranford, NJ. On February 28, 2025, we extended the lease until February 28, 2030. A right-of-use asset of $786,697 was recognized as a non-cash asset and liability on the lease amendment date. We pay our proportionate share of real estate taxes and operating expenses in excess of the base year expenses. These costs are variable lease payments and are not included in the determination of the lease’s right-of-use asset or lease liability.

We identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing our right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities:

The elements of lease expense are as follows: 

Maturities of lease liabilities due under the Company’s non-cancellable leases are as follows: 

Interest expense on the lease liability was $48,532 and $21,590 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Commercial Manufacturing Contracts

Citius Oncology had previously entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturing organization (“CMO”) for the manufacture and supply of bulk drug substance (“BDS”) with the agreement continuing through calendar year 2026. The agreement was terminated effective February 2026 by the CMO due to the breach of payment obligations by Citius Oncology. Termination fees associated with this are approximately $20.1 million consisting of $17.1 million of charges associated with manufacturing which was previously committed in 2025 and 2026 but not produced, as well as $1.2 million of un-invoiced but incurred charges related to previous manufactured batches and $1.8 million of interest and other charges. These fees are included in General and Administrative Expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2026. Separately, in March 2026, the CMO gave notice that it made a decision to terminate all production at the current site related to microbial manufacturing and decommission the associated manufacturing lines. In March 2026 and in connection with the notice of termination from the CMO, we recorded a contract cancellation fee of $19,733,307 net of invoices already included in accounts payable.

In June 2026, Citius Oncology entered into a letter of intent with a new CMO for the purposes of supplying BDS and expects to enter into a master services agreement. At this time, based on stock on hand and availability of alternate suppliers, we anticipate no interruption in commercial supply for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company also has commercial supply agreements with two other vendors for the completion and packaging of finished drug products. Minimum purchase commitments under these two agreements amount to approximately $4.0 million consisting of purchase commitment obligations of $2.2 million in calendar year 2026 and $1.8 million in calendar year 2027.
