Fair Value Measurements
The Company records certain financial instruments at fair value in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC. As of December 31, 2012, the financial instruments to which this topic applied were financial instruments for foreign currency forward contracts. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was a $329,000 asset, which is recorded in “trade and other accounts receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these derivative instruments is measured using models following quoted market prices in active markets for identical instruments, which is a Level 2 input under the fair value hierarchy of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC. All forward contracts as of December 31, 2012 have a one-month original maturity term and mature on January 3, 2013.
The carrying value of short-term and long-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the relative short maturity of these instruments and the interest rates the Company could currently obtain.
The convertible debentures issued on December 20, 2005 were evaluated and determined not to be conventional convertible debentures and, therefore, because of certain terms and provisions including liquidating damages under the associated registration rights agreement, the embedded conversion features were bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liability instruments until settled in February 2011. The accounting guidance requires that the conversion features be recorded at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair values of the embedded conversion options are based on Black-Scholes fair value calculations. In February 2011, the remaining $8.3 million principal balance was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock and, as such, no further fair value measurements of the liability were required to be made.
The following table summarizes the changes in the liability for the convertible debenture conversion features, which were valued using significant Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurement hierarchy of the FASB ASC (in thousands):
