Convertible Notes Derivative Liability

On March 17, 2017, the Company paid in full its Convertible Notes and, as a result, derecognized the derivative liability. See Note 8 - Debt. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company issued Convertible Notes with features that were either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by the Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities Topic of the FASB ASC, in certain instances, these instruments were required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the financial statements.

The Convertible Notes were subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allowed for the reduction in the Conversion Price, as defined in the agreement, in the event the Company subsequently issued equity securities including Common Stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock for a price less than the then current conversion price. In addition, the Convertible Notes allowed the issuer to exercise optional redemption features and the holder to exercise an offer to purchase feature, under certain conditions. The Company accounted for the conversion option in accordance with the Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities Topic of the FASB ASC. Since this conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock the derivative was recorded as a liability in the line item long-term debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s Convertible Notes derivative liability was measured at fair value using a trinomial lattice model. The optional redemption features, along with the offer to purchase features, were incorporated into the valuation model. Inputs into the model required estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, estimated credit risk of the Company, estimated probabilities of change of control and issuance of additional financing, risk-free interest rate, and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued. In addition, since the conversion price contained an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Conversion Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculation.

The fair value of the derivative liability was primarily determined by fluctuations in the Company's stock price. In addition, changes in the Company's credit risk profile impacted the fair value determination. These fluctuations resulted in a current period gain or loss that was presented on the consolidated statements of operations as (gain) loss on derivative liability.
