Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]  
INVENTORIES
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 on hand at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 had varying original expiration dates that began 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 the extension of Caldolor product expiration dates by one 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recognized and maintained cumulative charges for potential obsolescence and discontinuance losses, primarily for Caldolor, of approximately $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, inventory was comprised of the following:
