(1)At September 30, 2020, approximately $2.6 million of this contract asset amount is classified as current and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining amount is classified as noncurrent and is included in Other assets. The net increase in contract assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the Company’s estimated consideration for the sale of certain intellectual property rights.

(2)At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $2.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of these contract liability amounts are classified as current and are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as noncurrent and are included in Other liabilities. The increase in contract liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to a new agreement entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by approximately $0.4 million in revenue recognized during the period.
