 Company classifies all available-for-sale marketable securities with maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date as non-current assets.Any unrealized holding gains or losses on debt securities, including their tax effect, are reported as components of Other comprehensive gain (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings. Realized gains and losses, included in Interest and other income, net in the consolidated statement of earnings, are determined using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.Declines in fair value below amortized cost related to credit losses (i.e., impairment due to credit losses) are included in the consolidated statement of earnings, with a corresponding allowance established. If the estimate of expected credit losses decreases in subsequent periods, the Company will reverse the credit losses through current period earnings and adjust the allowance accordingly.Business Combinations and Contingent ConsiderationThe Company determines whether an acquisition should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. If 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, 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 our 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
