(formerly known as Acute Therapeutics, Inc.). |
Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block] | Business Combinations We follow the acquisition method for an acquisition of a business where the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimate of fair value is based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and as such, actual results may |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill and Intangible Assets We record acquired identified intangibles, which includes intangible assets (such as goodwill and other intangibles), based on estimated fair value. The acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.

MPEEM is a variation of the income approach which estimates the fair value of an intangible asset based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. Significant factors considered in the calculation of IPR&D intangible assets include the risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving commercial success and the cost and related time to complete the remaining development. Future cash flows for each project were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account the expected product life cycles, market penetration, and growth rates. Other significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: 1 2 3 4 Based on our annual quantitative impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived IPR&D intangible assets on December 1, 2019, not |

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
