7.	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

As a result of our 2013 merger with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BioSante), we recorded goodwill of $1.8 million in our one reporting unit. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill as of October 31 of each year, and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in circumstances that would have reduced the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying value from the most recent assessment on October 31, 2014, through March 31, 2015. No impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

Acquisition of Abbreviated New Drug Application

In March 2015 we purchased from Teva Pharmaceuticals (“Teva”) the Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for a generic product, Flecainide Acetate tablets, for $4.5 million in cash and a percentage of future gross profits from product sales. We accounted for this transaction as an asset purchase. The ANDA is being amortized in full over its useful life of 10 years.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

The components of our definite-lived intangible assets are as follows:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014				Weighted Average
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Amortization Period
Acquired ANDA intangible assets	$	17,077	$	(1,662)	$	12,577	$	(1,312)	10 years
Product rights		22,522		(1,694)		22,522		(1,133)	10 years
Teva license intangible asset		10,900		(1,735)		10,900		(1,487)	11 years
	$	50,499	$	(5,091)	$	45,999	$	(3,932)

Our acquired ANDA intangible assets consist of the exclusive rights, including all of the applicable technical data and other relevant information, to produce certain pharmaceutical products that we acquired from various companies, including the group of ANDAs acquired from Teva in the first quarter of 2014 and the additional ANDA acquired in 2015. The product rights assets consist of the exclusive rights, including all of the applicable technical data and other relevant information, to produce certain branded pharmaceutical products that we acquired from various companies, including the Lithobid and Vancocin products acquired in the third quarter of 2014. The Teva license was acquired as part of our 2013 merger with BioSante. Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value, net of amortization using the straight line method over the expected useful lives of the intangible assets. Amortization expense was $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We test for impairment of definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. No such triggering events were identified during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and therefore no impairment loss was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

Expected future amortization expense is as follows:

(in thousands)
2015 (remainder of the year)	$	3,701
2016		4,935
2017		4,935
2018		4,935
2019		4,935
2020 and thereafter		21,967
Total	$	45,408
