(6)	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurement recognition and disclosure purposes for its financial assets and financial liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and contingent consideration. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. Categorization is based on a three-tier valuation hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:

•

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2: Inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, inputs that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company has classified assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

	Fair value measurements at reporting date using
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
At December 31, 2018:
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (See Note 4)	$	—	$	—	$	90,912
	$	—	$	—	$	90,912
At September 30, 2019:
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (See Note 4)	$	—	$	—	$	65,671
	$	—	$	—	$	65,671

The reconciliation of the contingent consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows:

	Contingent Consideration
Balance at December 31, 2018	$	90,912
Payment of contingent consideration		(10,000	)
Remeasurement		(15,241	)
Total at September 30, 2019	$	65,671

Current portion as of September 30, 2019		—
Long-term portion as of September 30, 2019	$	65,671

The Company does not expect a portion of the contingent consideration to become payable within one year as of September 30, 2019 (see Note 4 for additional information). The Company plans to continue to reevaluate this classification and measurement as it progresses through discussions with the FDA regarding IV meloxicam.

The Company follows the disclosure provisions of FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), for disclosure purposes for financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value. As of September 30, 2019, the financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Combined Balance Sheets that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include accounts payable and accrued expenses and approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
