FAIR VALUE


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities, as well as for other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.
FASB guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2—Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The preferred stock warrant liability and preferred stock conversion feature are recorded separately and are recorded at fair value. We are required to record these instruments at fair value at each reporting date and changes are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. The preferred stock warrant liability and preferred stock conversion feature are considered Level 3 financial instruments which are valued using the Black Scholes call option pricing formula.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the changes in the fair value of the liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were comprised of the following:
