On December 1, 2016, Flexion paid a refundable NDA fee in the amount of $2,038,100 to the FDA. The Company evaluated each of the published criteria to qualify for a waiver and concluded all criteria were met and thus, obtaining a refund of the fee was probable. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the NDA fee was classified as a deposit in other current assets.  On April 20, 2017 we were informed by the FDA that our NDA fee waiver was approved and the NDA fee would be refunded.
