In addition, as of December 31, 2016, the Company deferred approximately $0.1 million of costs associated with inventory transfer made under the Company’s third party logistic provider (“3PL”) service arrangement. These costs have been recorded as other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. The Company will recognize the cost of product sold as inventory is transferred from 3PL to the Company’s customers.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we recognized an inventory write-down of $0.3 million related to Noden Products that we would not be able to sell prior to its expiration. There were no inventory write-downs related to obsolete inventory recorded in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
