In connection with the Apton acquisition, contingent consideration of $ 25.0 million, which we may elect to pay in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, is due upon the achievement of a milestone, defined as the achievement of $ 50.0 million in revenue associated with Apton's technology, provided that the milestone event occurs prior to the five-year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition.
−Removed: At this time, the number of shares, if any, to be issued in connection with the achievement of the specified milestone is not known and will be calculated based on the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the twenty trading days ending on and including the fifth trading day immediately prior to the occurrence of the specified milestone.
−Removed: Upon achievement of the milestone, we may pay cash in lieu of our common stock to ensure that the issuance of our common stock does not exceed 19.9 % of our outstanding shares of common stock then outstanding.
The contingent consideration is accounted for as a liability at fair value, with changes during each reporting period recognized on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is calculated, with the assistance from a third-party valuation firm, using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the volatility and systematic relative risk of revenues subject to sales milestone payments and discounting the associated cash payment amounts to their present values using a credit-risk-adjusted interest rate.
+Added: We recognized a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $ 18.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting in a contingent consideration liability of $ 0 .
+Added: This was primarily due to management's decision to cease development of the high-throughput short-read system, the associated changes in expected future revenues, and the requirement that the milestone event occur prior to the five-year anniversary of the acquisition closing date.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the total fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values on the acquisition date.

−Removed: As of December 31, 2024, the research and development project had not been completed or abandoned and, therefore, the IPR&D is not currently subject to amortization.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, acquired IPR&D of $ 400.0 million as a result of the Omniome acquisition in September 2021 was completed and became subject to amortization.
IPR&D is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment.

+Added: We recognized a $ 40.0 million impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2024.
+Added: During the first quarter of 2025, based on our decision to cease development of the high-throughput short-read sequencing platform, which would utilize the IPR&D, and the resulting changes to the expected future cash flows, among other factors, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the IPR&D was less than its carrying amount, requiring an interim impairment assessment.
+Added: Using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach, we determined the fair value was $ 0 and recorded a $ 15.0 million impairment charge .
+Added: The decline in the fair value of the IPR&D to $ 0 as of March 31, 2025 resulted primarily from changes in the timing of expected future cash flows as compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2024, driven by the restructuring initiatives that prioritize accelerating adoption of HiFi sequencing and resulted in ceasing development of our high-throughput short-read sequencing platform.
