CLEARSIGN COMBUSTION CORPORATION (NASDAQ:CLIR) Files An 8-K Material Impairments
ITEM 2.06

On September 25, 2019, ClearSign Combustion Corporation (the “Company”) determined to write-off certain patents included in its patent portfolio based on management’s analysis of both the cost of maintaining the patents and the likelihood that the inventions described would not have significant value in the Company’s future technology strategy.

In conjunction with the decision to write-off the patents, the Company anticipates that it will be required under generally accepted accounting principles to incur a non-cash impairment charge of an estimated $337,302 in its statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other than expenses incurred for maintenance of the patents but not yet paid, the Company does not expect future cash expenditures relating to the write-off.
