INVENTORIES
The Company works closely with third parties to manufacture and package finished goods for sale. Based on the relationship with the manufacturer or packager, the Company will either take title to the finished goods at the time of shipment or at the time of arrival from the manufacturer. The Company then warehouses such goods until distribution and sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.
The Company continually evaluates inventory for potential losses due to excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory by comparing sales history and sales projections to the inventory on hand. When evidence indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable, a charge is taken to reduce the inventory to its current net realizable value.
Caldolor inventory represented the majority of net inventory on hand at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and had varying original expiration dates that begin in the second quarter of 2014 and extend through January 2016. During 2013, the Company provided stability data to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") supporting that the Caldolor product expiration dates may be extended by up to a year. In January 2014, the FDA notified the Company that it had approved its request to extend the original shelf life of the Caldolor 800mg vials from five to six years.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recognized cumulative charges for potential obsolescence and discontinuance losses, primarily for Caldolor, of approximately $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. If actual sales in future periods are less than projected sales, the Company may incur additional obsolescence losses.
In connection with the acquisition of certain product rights related to the Kristalose brand, the Company is responsible for the purchase of the active pharmaceutical ingredient for Kristalose and maintains the inventory at the third-party manufacturer. As the ingredients are consumed in production, the value of the ingredients is transferred from raw materials to finished goods.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, inventory was comprised of the following:
