Derivative Instruments

In connection with the acquisition of Cypress effective December 31, 2012, the Company issued a put right to Cypress’ former shareholders.  The put right, which expires on January 31, 2014, is exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the one-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell any of the shares they still hold (3,565,692 as of September 30, 2013 from the underlying 4,427,084 shares of the Company’s common stock they received as part of the purchase consideration), back to the Company at a price of $5.38 per share, which represents a 30% discount off of the per-share value established on the effective date of the closing of the acquisition.  In accordance with the relevant authoritative accounting literature a portion of the total purchase consideration was allocated to this put liability based on its initial fair value, which was determined to be $3.4 million using a Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in the valuation of the put right include term, stock price volatility, current stock price, exercise price, and the risk free rate of return. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the put right liability was re-measured and was determined to have increased $2.1 million and $6.1 million during the three and nine month periods then ended, respectively, with such amounts reflected as a loss included in other non-operating income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of this derivative instrument, which is included in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $9.5 million. The Company has classified the put right, for which the fair value is re-measured on a recurring basis at each reporting date as a Level 3 instrument (i.e. wherein fair value is partially determined and based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity), which the Company believes is the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine its fair value at the measurement date.
