 the acquired set of activities and assets does not meet the definition of a business, as defined by U.S. GAAP, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, any acquired research and development that does not have an alternative future use is charged to expense as of the acquisition date, and no goodwill is recorded. If the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business, the Company applies the acquisition method of accounting and accounts for the transaction as a business combination. In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, if applicable, is recorded as goodwill. In a business combination, the operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings (loss), beginning on the effective acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.Significant judgment is involved in the determination of the fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, as well as the estimated useful lives of assets. These estimates can materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position. The fair value of intangible assets are determined using information available as of the acquisition date and are based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by management. Significant estimates and assumptions include but are not limited to: the probability of regulatory approval, revenue growth, and appropriate discount rate.While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's consolidated statements of earnings (loss) in the period that these adjustments are identified. Additional information regarding the Company's recent business combination is included in Note 3, Sage Acquisition.Contingent ConsiderationBusiness combinations often include provisions for additional consideration to be transferred to former shareholders based upon the achievement of certain milestones, referred to as contingent consideration. Contingent consideration from product development milestones and sales-based milestone payments on future product sales are included in the purchase price for business combinations. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is determined as of the acquisition date using estimated or forecasted inputs. These inputs include the estimated
