Deerfield Obligation
 
In relation to the Company's acquisition of Avadel's pediatric products on February 16, 2018, the Company assumed an obligation that Avadel had to Deerfield CSF, (the "Deerfield Obligation"). Beginning in July 2018 through October 2020, the Company is required to pay a quarterly payment of $262,500 to Deerfield. In January 2021, a balloon payment of $15,250,000 is due. As payments were made, the difference between the gross value and fair value of these payments was recorded as interest expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and is included in interest expense, net on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The amounts due within the next year are included in current portion of long-term debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts due in greater than one year are included in long-term debt, net of current portion, on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Deerfield Obligation was $15.3 million as of September 30, 2019, of which $1.1 million is recorded as a current liability.

As detailed in Note 14, in connection with the Company entering into the Aytu transaction in October 2019, Aytu assumed the Deerfield Obligation upon closing of the transaction on November 1, 2019. However, the balance as of September 30, 2019 does not factor in Aytu's assumption of the liability because the transaction occurred subsequent to quarter-end.

On November 1, 2019, in conjunction with the closing of the Aytu transaction, the Company entered into a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in favor of Deerfield CSF. The Guarantee guarantees the payment by Aytu of the assumed liabilities to Deerfield, which includes the debt obligation and the contingent consideration related to future potential royalties on Avadel's pediatric products. Additionally, on November 1, 2019, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Armistice and Avadel, which governs contribution rights and obligations of the Company, Armistice and Avadel with respect to amounts that are paid by Armistice and Avadel to Deerfield CSF under certain guarantees made by Armistice and Avadel to Deerfield CSF. The liabilities to Deerfield, which include the debt obligation (consisting of the balloon payment and the remaining interest payments) and the undiscounted contingent consideration related to future potential royalties on Avadel's pediatric products, were $25.7 million as of the closing date on November 1, 2019.
