 concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen test is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen test is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not we have acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the requirements of a business. We account for an asset acquisition under Accounting Standards Codification, Business Combinations Topic 805, Subtopic 50, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize net assets based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the non-monetary identifiable assets based on relative fair values.

concentrated in the developed technology. Upon closing the transaction on August 11, 2025, we made an upfront payment consisting of $9.2 million in cash and $13.5 million (1,099,992 shares) in shares of our Class A common stock. In the first quarter of 2026, we expect to pay $20.0 million, subject to any adjustments, in connection with the technology transfer completed in the third quarter of 2025 and in the future may pay up to $30 million of contingent consideration if certain milestones are met. 

We determined that the contingent consideration was within the scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because the contingent consideration is payable in cash or Class A common shares, at our election. The contingent consideration was recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Upon closing, we recognized $22.4 million for the fair value of the contingent consideration. The contingent consideration will be remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized within “other income” in our consolidated statement of operations.
