 acquisition and which should be accounted for separately. The cost of an asset acquisition, including transaction costs, is allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. Any difference between the cost of an asset acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the non-monetary identifiable assets based on their relative fair values. When a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition includes an in-process research and development ("IPR&D") asset, the IPR&D asset is only capitalized if it has an alternative future use other than in a particular research and development project. For an IPR&D asset to have an alternative future use: (a) the Company must reasonably expect that it will use the asset acquired in the alternative manner and anticipate economic benefit from that alternative use, and (b) the Company's use of the asset acquired is not contingent on further development of the asset subsequent to the acquisition date (that is, the asset can be used in the alternative manner in the condition in which it existed at the acquisition date). Otherwise, amounts allocated to IPR&D that have no alternative use are expensed to research and development. Asset acquisitions may include contingent consideration arrangements that encompass obligations to make future payments to sellers, contingent upon the achievement of future financial targets. 8 Contingent consideration is not recognized until it is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, at which point the consideration is allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Operating segments Operating segments are identified as components of an entity about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" to expand the disclosures required by public entities for reportable segments, thereby responding to stakeholders' requests for more detailed information about expenses within each reportable segment. The expanded disclosures now require public entities to disclose significant expenses for reportable segments in both interim and in annual reporting periods, while entities with only a single reportable segment must now provide all segment disclosures required both in ASC 280 and under the amendments in ASU 2023-07. ASU 2023-07 is effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025.
