 applied significant judgment in the determination of the significant assumptions relating to forecasted future cash flows and discount rates.

Product Recall

We establish reserves for product recalls on a product-specific basis when circumstances giving rise to the recall become known. We estimate product recall from consumers and customers across distribution channels, utilizing third-party data and other assumptions, and these are recorded within gross-to-net expenses on our consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, we estimate costs for any additional fees, including but not limited to freight and destruction charges for returned products and costs incurred by third party vendors. These expenses are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses within our consolidated statement of operations as they are in excess of the initial revenue recognized. These estimates are updated and reevaluated each period and the related reserves are adjusted when these factors indicate that the recall reserves are either insufficient to cover or exceed the estimated product recall expenses. Significant changes in the assumptions used to develop estimates for product recall reserves could affect key financial information, including inventory, accrued liabilities, net sales, gross profit, and net income (loss).

Research and Development Accruals

We are required to estimate our expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with CROs, clinical site agreements, vendors, and consultants in connection with conducting ibrexafungerp clinical trials and preclinical studies and other development activities. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to us under such contracts. Our objective is to reflect the appropriate development and trial expenses in our consolidated financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which the services and efforts are expended by our service providers.

For clinical trials, we account for these expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by actual hours expended by CRO personnel, investigator performance or completion of specific tasks, patient progression, or timing of various aspects of the trial. For preclinical development services performed by outside service providers, we determine accrual estimates through financial models, taking into account development progress data received from outside service providers and discussions with our knowledgeable internal personnel and service provider personnel. During the course of a clinical trial or preclinical study or development project, we adjust our rate of trial or project expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimates. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date within our consolidated financial statements based on the facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the
