Asset Acquisitions And Business Combinations NOTE 3. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Asset Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a license agreement for certain patents of medical device technology in the spine field for a total of $5.0 million due at closing, and 1 percent license fee on future sales of products developed and covered under the license agreement. The Company recorded $5.0 million of patents intangible assets, with a useful life of 10.1 years.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a share acquisition of a biotech company focused on research and development for hemostasis solutions. The fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a similar identified asset, IPR&D of the acquired technology, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASC 805, Business Combinations. At the date of the acquisition, the Company determined that the development of the projects underway had not yet reached technological feasibility and that the research in process had no alternative future use. Accordingly, the acquired IPR&D of $12.6 million was charged to research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The purchase price consisted of $12.0 million of cash paid at closing. The transaction also provides for $12.0 million of contingent consideration which is payable upon meeting the Good Manufacturing Process milestones, as promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and consideration of $10.0 million contingent upon the developed products obtaining approval from the FDA. Contingent consideration will not be recorded in this asset acquisition until the milestone is met.
