During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded $0 and $7,731, respectively, and during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded $960 and $19,325, respectively, of software development impairment charges (a component of cost of goods sold). Liability Awards In September 2017, we reclassified 5,550,000 time and performance based restricted stock units as equity awards. These awards were granted in prior periods and historically accounted for as liability awards as they previously could be settled only in cash and based on a contractually stipulated cash settlement value. However, in September 2017, at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we received stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of Common Stock for which awards may be granted and therefore now have the ability and intent to settle these awards in stock. As a result, we reclassified $74,707 from Other long-term liabilities to Additional paid-in capital within Stockholders' equity. Additionally, we recognized incremental cost of $112,789 to reflect the difference between the share price at the time of the modification and the contractually stipulated cash settlement value. Of these incremental costs, $84,176 was capitalized within Software development costs and licenses, net of current porti on; $23,251 was recorded within Software development costs and royalties (a component of cost of goods sold); and $5,361 was recorded within Research and development costs.
