Purchase commitments represent enforceable and legally binding agreements with suppliers to purchase goods or services. The Company periodically assesses the need to provide for impairment on these purchase contracts and record a loss on purchase commitments when required. As of June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a liability for adverse purchase commitments of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;17.5&lt;/font&gt; million. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company adjusted its accrual for adverse purchase commitments by $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;7.3&lt;/font&gt; million due to settlements with certain vendors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company has accrued outstanding adverse purchase commitments based on legally binding contracts and purchase orders that were placed with its vendors for parts with no future demand. The vendor claims for safety stock were not supported by valid purchase orders or&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" color="#1f497d" size="2"&gt;valid&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;executed contracts and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" color="#1f497d" size="2"&gt;are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;not considered part of the adverse purchase commitment liability. The claims for safety stock have not been accrued as of June 30, 2012. The Company has determined that although it believes that there is no legally enforceable contract for safety stock and will continue to defend its legal position that it does not owe amounts for safety stock, that it is reasonably possible that a case may be made against the Company under certain situations. As the loss is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company has not accounted for the loss. The Company has determined that the range for this potential loss is between $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0&lt;/font&gt; and $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;4&lt;/font&gt; million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss.

On June 7, 2011, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts consolidated these actions under the caption &lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;Lenartz v. American Superconductor Corporation, et al.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;, Docket No. 1:11-cv-10582-WGY. On August 31, 2011, Lead Plaintiff, the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund, filed a consolidated amended complaint against the Company, its officers and directors, and the underwriters who participated in our November 12, 2010 securities offering, asserting claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as well as under sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The complaint alleges that during the relevant class period, the Company and its officers omitted to state material facts and made materially false and misleading statements relating to, among other things, its projected and recognized revenues and earnings, as well as its relationship with Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd. that artificially inflated the value of the Company's stock price. The complaint further alleges that the Company's November 12, 2010 securities offering contained untrue statements of material facts and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, rescindment of the Company's November 12, 2010 securities offering, and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees. All defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On December 16, 2011, the district court issued a summary order declining to dismiss the Securities Act claims against the Company and its officers, and taking under advisement the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims against the Company and its officers and the motion to dismiss the Securities Act claims made against the underwriters. On July 26, 2012, the district court dismissed the Exchange Act claims against the Company and its officers and denied the motion to dismiss the Securities Act claims made against the underwriters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

On July 5, 2011, the District Court consolidated three of these actions, and that matter is now captioned&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;In re American Superconductor Corporation Derivative Litigation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;, Docket No. 1:11-cv-10784-WGY.

Yurek, et al.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;, moved to voluntarily dismiss its complaint and refiled its complaint in Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Middlesex County.

The plaintiffs purport to assert claims against the director defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, unjust enrichment and corporate waste. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, as well as an award of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There are numerous factors that make it difficult to meaningfully estimate possible loss or range of loss at this stage of these litigation matters, including that: the proceedings are in relatively early stages, there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, information obtained or rulings made during the lawsuits could affect the methodology for calculation of rescission and the related statutory interest rate. In addition, with respect to claims where damages are the requested relief, no amount of loss or damages has been specified. Therefore, the Company is unable at this time to estimate possible losses. The Company believes that these litigations are without merit, and it intends to defend these actions vigorously. Therefore no adjustment has been made to the financial statements to reflect the outcome of these uncertainties.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ltd. ("Sinovel"). The Company's Chinese subsidiary, Suzhou AMSC Superconductor Co. Ltd., filed a claim for arbitration with the Beijing Arbitration Commission in accordance with the terms of the Company's supply contracts with Sinovel. The case is captioned&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;(2011) Jin Zhong An Zi No. 0963&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;. On March 31, 2011, Sinovel refused to accept contracted shipments of 1.5 megawatt (MW) and 3 MW wind turbine core electrical components and spare parts that the Company was prepared to deliver. The Company alleges that these actions constitute material breaches of its contracts because Sinovel did not give it notice that it intended to delay deliveries as required under the contracts. Moreover, the Company alleges that Sinovel has refused to pay past due amounts for prior shipments of core electrical components and spare parts. The Company is seeking compensation for past product shipments and retention (including interest) in the amount of approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;485&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;76&lt;/font&gt; million) due to Sinovel's breaches of its contracts. The Company is also seeking specific performance of our existing contracts as well as reimbursement of all costs and reasonable expenses with respect to the arbitration. The value of the undelivered components under the existing contracts, including the deliveries refused by Sinovel in March 2011, amounts to approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;4.6&lt;/font&gt; billion ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;720&lt;/font&gt; million).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Sinovel claimed, among other things, that the goods supplied by the Company do not conform to the standards specified in the contracts and claimed damages in the amount of approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;370&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;58&lt;/font&gt; million). On October 17, 2011, Sinovel filed with the Beijing Arbitration Commission a request for change of counterclaim to increase its damage claim to approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1&lt;/font&gt; billion ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;157&lt;/font&gt; million). On December 22, 2011, Sinovel filed with the Beijing Arbitration Commission an additional request for change of counterclaim to increase its damages claim &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;to approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.2&lt;/font&gt; billion ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;190&lt;/font&gt; million). On February 27, 2012, Sinovel filed with the Beijing Arbitration Commission an application under the caption &lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;(2012) Jing Zhong An Zi No. 0157, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;against the Company for breach of the same contracts under which the Company filed its original arbitration claim. Sinovel claimed, among other things, that the goods supplied by the Company do not conform to the standards specified in the contracts and claimed damages in the amount of approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;105&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;17&lt;/font&gt; million). The Company believes that Sinovel's claims are without merit and it intends to defend these actions vigorously. Since the proceedings in this matter are in relatively early stages, the Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses or range of losses at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; widows: 2; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: medium 'Times New Roman'; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0,0,0); word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;The Company also submitted a civil action application to the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court under the caption&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;(2011) Yi Zhong Min Chu Zi No. 15524,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;against Sinovel for software copyright infringement on September 13, 2011. The application alleges Sinovel's unauthorized use of portions of the Company's wind turbine control software source code developed for Sinovel's 1.5MW wind turbines and the binary code, or upper layer, of the Company's software for the PM3000 power converters in 1.5MW wind turbines. In July 2011, a former employee of the Company's Austrian subsidiary was arrested in Austria on charges of economic espionage and fraudulent manipulation of data. In September 2011, the former employee pled guilty to the charges, and was imprisoned. As a result of the Company's internal investigation and a criminal investigation conducted by Austrian authorities, the Company believes that this former employee was contracted by Sinovel through an intermediary while employed by the Company and improperly obtained and transferred to Sinovel portions of its wind turbine control software source code developed for Sinovel's 1.5MW wind turbines. Moreover, the Company believes the former employee illegally used source code to develop for Sinovel a software modification to circumvent the encryption and remove technical protection measures on the Company's PM3000 power converters in 1.5MW wind turbines in the field. The Company is seeking a cease and desist order with respect to the unauthorized copying, installation and use of its software, monetary damages of approximately RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;38&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;6&lt;/font&gt; million) for our economic losses and reimbursement of all costs and reasonable expenses. The No. 1 Intermediate People's Court accepted the case, which was necessary in order for the case to proceed. In November 2011, Sinovel filed a motion to remove this case from the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court and transfer the matter to the Beijing Arbitration Commission. On February 14, 2012, the court denied Sinovel's motion to remove the case. On February 21, 2012, Sinovel filed an appeal of the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court decision to the Beijing Higher People's Court. On April 25, 2012, the Beijing Higher People's Court issued a final Civil Ruling which supports the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court's civil ruling and rejected Sinovel's appeal. Sinovel has filed an appeal of the Beijing Higher People's Court's decision with China's Supreme People's Court. On June 18, 2012, Sinovel filed a new motion to remove this case from the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court to the court located in Gansu Province.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The application alleges the defendants' unauthorized use of portions of the Company's wind turbine control software source code developed for Sinovel's 1.5MW wind turbines as described above with respect to the Copyright Action. The Company is seeking monetary damages of RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;2.9&lt;/font&gt; billion ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;453&lt;/font&gt; million) for the trade secret infringement as well as reimbursement of all costs and reasonable expenses. The Beijing Higher People's Court accepted the case, which was necessary in order for the case to proceed. On December 22, 2011, the Beijing Higher People's Court transferred this case to the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court under the caption&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;(2011) Gao Min Chu Zi No. 4193&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;.

The application alleges that the Company's PM1000 converters in certain Sinovel wind turbines have been replaced by converters produced by Guotong. Because the Guotong converters are being used in wind turbines containing the Company's wind turbine control software, the Company believes that its copyrighted software is being infringed. The Company is seeking a cease and desist order with respect to the unauthorized use of its software, monetary damages of RMB&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.2&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0.2&lt;/font&gt; million) for its economic losses (with respect to Guotong only) and reimbursement of all costs and reasonable expenses. The court has accepted the case, which was necessary in order for the case to proceed. In addition, upon the request of the defendant Huaneng, Sinovel has been added by the court to this case as a defendant and Huaneng has been released from this case. In December 2011, Sinovel filed a jurisdiction opposition motion requesting dismissal by the Hainan Province No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, saying the case should be governed by the Beijing Arbitration Commission. On February 3, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;2012, the Company received the Civil Ruling from the court, which granted Sinovel's motion, and dismissed the entire case. The Company appealed the court's ruling to the Hainan Higher Court, which on April 5, 2012 upheld the decision of the Hainan Province No. 1 Intermediate People's Court. On April 9, 2012, the Company filed an appeal of the Hainan Higher Court's decision with China's Supreme People's Court. The Supreme Court accepted the appeal on May 23, 2012. The case is captioned, (2012) Min Shen Zi No. 630.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Under the Request for Arbitration, Ghodawat alleges that AMSC Austria breached an agreement dated March 19, 2008 pursuant to which AMSC Austria granted a license to Ghodawat to manufacture, use, sell, market, erect, commission and maintain certain wind turbines using its technical information and wind turbine design (the "License Agreement"). Under the Request for Arbitration, Ghodawat's claims in this arbitration amount to approximately &amp;#128;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;18&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;24&lt;/font&gt; million). AMSC Austria filed an Answer to Request for Arbitration and Counterclaim ("Answer and Counterclaim"), in which AMSC Austria denied Ghodawat's claims in their entirety. AMSC Austria has also submitted counterclaims under the License Agreement against Ghodawat in the amount of approximately &amp;#128;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;6&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;9&lt;/font&gt; million). Ghodawat has filed a Reply to Answer to Request for Arbitration and Counterclaim in which it denies AMSC Austria's counterclaims. The arbitration proceedings are currently ongoing. The Company has recorded a loss contingency based on its assessment of probable losses on this claim; however this amount is immaterial to its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company is required to deposit an amount equivalent to some or all the face amount of the performance bonds into an escrow account until the termination of the bond.

In addition, the Company has various contractual arrangements in which minimum quantities of goods or services have been committed to be purchased on an annual basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

These amounts included in restricted cash represent deposits to secure letters of credit for various supply contracts. These deposits are held in interest bearing accounts. The Company is working with its inventory suppliers to delay cash settlements and to reduce the gross liability associated with its adverse purchase commitments. During the quarter ending June 30, 2012, the Company agreed to settle adverse purchase commitments with certain of its vendors. In conjunction with these settlements, the Company agreed to provide letters of credit and bank guarantees in the amount of approximately $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;9.0&lt;/font&gt; million with expirations through January 31, 2013. The letters of credit and bank guarantees were secured with cash collateral of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;8.5&lt;/font&gt; million and resulted in a reduction of its adverse purchase commitments liability of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;7.3&lt;/font&gt; million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Convertible Notes are payable in monthly installments beginning four months from issuance and ending on October 4, 2014.

The Company valued these derivatives at $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.8&lt;/font&gt; million upon issuance and recorded the value as a debt discount and a derivative liability.

Due to certain adjustment provisions within the warrant, it qualified for liability accounting and had a fair value of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;7.0&lt;/font&gt; million upon issuance. The Company recorded the value as a debt discount and a warrant liability.

Upon issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company determined the initial carrying value of the Convertible Notes to be $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;25.0&lt;/font&gt; million. In addition, the Company also incurred $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.8&lt;/font&gt; million of legal and origination costs as of the three months ended June 30, 2012, which have been recorded as a discount on the Convertible Notes. The total debt discount, including the embedded derivatives, warrant and legal and origination costs of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;12.6&lt;/font&gt; million is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. Under this method, interest expense is recognized each period until the debt instruments reach maturity. If the maturity of the Convertible Notes is accelerated because of prepayment, then the amortization will be accelerated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense for amortization of the debt discount related to the Convertible Notes of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;2.2&lt;/font&gt; million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Convertible Notes also contain limitations on the transfer of certain assets. Events of default under the Convertible Notes include failure to pay principal or interest as due on the Convertible Notes, failure to deliver registered shares of common stock upon the holders request for conversion of part or all of the Convertible Notes, failure to maintain the Company's common stock eligible for trading on defined markets, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, receipt of uninsured judgments against the Company in excess of defined limits and other administrative covenants, as defined in the Convertible Notes and related documentation. Upon an event of default, the holders may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash plus a penalty as specified in the agreement. Also, if the Company fails to maintain an effective registration statement covering common stock to be used in settling obligations under the Convertible Notes, the Company will be required to pay a penalty as specified in the agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

After the closing fees and expenses, the net proceeds to the Company were $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;9.7&lt;/font&gt; million. The Term Loan bears an interest rate equal to &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;11&lt;/font&gt;% plus the percentage, if any, in which the prime rate as reported by The Wall Street Journal exceeds &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.75&lt;/font&gt;%. The Company will make interest only payments beginning July 1, 2012 and continuing through October 1, 2012, after which the Company will repay the loan in equal monthly installments ending on December 1, 2014. The Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company's existing and future assets. In addition, Hercules received a warrant to purchase approximately&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;139,000&lt;/font&gt; shares of common stock, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;exercisable at an initial strike price of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.59&lt;/font&gt; per share, subject to adjustment, until December 5, 2017. Due to certain adjustment provisions within the warrant, it qualified for liability accounting and the fair value of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0.4&lt;/font&gt; million was recorded upon issuance, which the Company recorded as a debt discount and a warrant liability. See Note 11, "Warrants and Derivative Liabilities", for a discussion on warrants and the valuation assumptions used. The Company will pay an end of term fee of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0.5&lt;/font&gt; million upon the earlier of maturity or prepayment of the loan. The Company has accrued this as of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and recorded a corresponding amount into the debt discount. In addition, the Company incurred $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0.3&lt;/font&gt; million of legal and origination costs in the three months ended June 30, 2012, which have been recorded as a debt discount. The total debt discount including the warrant, end of term fee and legal and origination costs of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.2&lt;/font&gt; million is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. Under this method, interest expense is recognized each period until the debt instrument reaches maturity. If the maturity of the Term Loan is accelerated because of prepayment, then the amortization will be accelerated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense for amortization of the debt discount related to the Term Loan of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;0.1&lt;/font&gt; million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In addition, the Term Loan contains a covenant which requirements the Company to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance in the United States of at least $10.0 million at the inception of the Term Loan, which will decrease starting November 1, 2012 and monthly thereafter by the amount of principal paid. The events of default under the Term Loan include, but are not limited to, failure to pay amounts due, breaches of covenants, bankruptcy events, cross defaults under other material indebtedness and the occurrence of a material adverse effect and/or change in control. In the case of a continuing event of default, the Lender may, among other remedies, declare due all unpaid principal amounts outstanding and any accrued but unpaid interest and foreclose on all collateral granted to the Lender as security under the Term Loan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the date that is six months after the issuance of the warrant and entitles CVI to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the warrant becomes exercisable at a price equal to $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;5.45&lt;/font&gt; per share, subject to certain price-based and other anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant may not be exercised if, after giving effect to the conversion, CVI together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;4.99&lt;/font&gt;% of the Company's common stock. This percentage may be raised to any other percentage not in excess of &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;9.99&lt;/font&gt;% at the option of the holder of the warrant, upon at least 61-days' prior notice to the Company, or lowered to any other percentage, at the option of CVI, at any time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The warrant is subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value will be recorded as a change in fair value in other income (expense) until the earlier of expiration or its exercise at which time the warrant liability will be reclassified to equity. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrant, using the following assumptions:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The lattice model is an option pricing model that involves the construction of a binomial tree to show the different paths that the underlying asset may take over the option's life. A lattice model can take into account expected changes in various parameters such as volatility over the life of the options, providing more accurate estimates of option prices than the Black-Scholes model. Following is a summary of the key assumptions used to value the convertible note derivative feature:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

To determine the risk-free interest rate an interpolated rate was used based on the two and three year United States Treasury rates. The bond yield was estimated by comparing comparable corporate debt and yield information. The recovery rate of the Convertible Note was estimated by reviewing historical corporate debt that went into default. The bond is redeemable by the Company at any point after the one-year anniversary of the grant date provided certain provisions within the note. The total time is based on the actual contractual terms, 30 months. It was determined that there is a dilution effect based on the Company's ability to make payments in shares of common stock.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In conjunction with this agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase approximately 139,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrant is exercisable at any time after the issuance of the warrant and entitles Hercules to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five and half years from the initial date the warrant becomes exercisable at a price equal to $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.59&lt;/font&gt; per share subject to certain price-based and other anti-dilution adjustments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The warrant is subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value will be recorded as changes in fair value of derivatives and warrant until the earlier of expiration or its exercise at which time the warrant liability will be reclassified to equity. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the warrant, using the following assumptions:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

("Blade Dynamics"), a designer and manufacturer of advanced wind turbine blades based on proprietary materials and structural technologies, for $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;8.0&lt;/font&gt; million in cash.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to the Company's recorded investment in this VIE. The Company's investment in Blade Dynamics is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and the equity in undistributed losses of Blade Dynamics is included in other income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The guidance requires gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 measurement roll-forward and details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. It also clarifies two existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements and disclosures on inputs and valuation techniques. A change in the hierarchy of an investment from its current level will be reflected in the period during which the pricing methodology of such investment changes. Disclosure of the transfer of securities from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 3 will be made in the event that the related security is significant to total cash and investments. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; widows: 2; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: medium 'Times New Roman'; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0,0,0); word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;Level 1 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; widows: 2; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: medium 'Times New Roman'; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0,0,0); word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;Level 2 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;- Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company's marketable securities generally have maturities of greater than three months from original purchase date but less than twelve months from the date of the balance sheet. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All marketable securities are considered available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The Company periodically reviews the realizability of each short-term and long-term marketable security when impairment indicators exist with respect to the security. If an other-than-temporary impairment of value of the security exists, the carrying value of the security is written down to its estimated fair value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Derivative Liability is subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value will be recorded as a change in fair value in other income (expense) until the earlier of its exercise or expiration. The Company relies on assumptions in a lattice model to determine the fair value of Derivative Liability. The Company has appropriately valued the Derivative Liability within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 10, "Debt", for discussion on the Convertible Notes, Derivative Liability and valuation assumptions used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company experienced a substantial decline in revenues, incurred a net loss of $136.8 million and used $141.0 million of cash for operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, the Company reduced its global workforce by approximately &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;50&lt;/font&gt;% and consolidated certain business operations in three locations to reduce facility costs. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a global workforce of approximately&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;430&lt;/font&gt; persons.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company plans to closely monitor its expenses and if required, expects to further reduce operating costs and capital spending to enhance liquidity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; widows: 2; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: medium 'Times New Roman'; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0,0,0); word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;On April 4, 2012, the Company completed a private placement of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;25.0&lt;/font&gt; million of &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;7&lt;/font&gt;% senior convertible notes ("Convertible Notes"). On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement ("Term Loan"), under which the Company borrowed $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;10.0&lt;/font&gt; million. See Note 10, "Debt", for further information regarding these debt arrangements, including the covenants, restrictions and events of default under the agreements. The Company is in compliance with the covenants and restrictions included in the Convertible Notes and Term Loan as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company's liquidity is highly dependent on its ability to profitably grow revenues, successfully manage adverse purchase commitments, fund and maintain compliance with the covenants and restrictions on its debt obligations, and raise additional capital, as required. The Company may seek additional financing; however, there can be no assurance that financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company early adopted ASU 2011-05 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2013 but is eligible for early adoption. The Company does not believe adoption of this standard will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In accounting for these obligations, the Company is required to make assumptions related to the amounts of employee severance, benefits, and related costs and the time period over which leased facilities will remain vacant, sublease terms, sublease rates and discount rates.

The Company's business segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measures are segment revenues and segment operating (loss) income. The disaggregated financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. In addition, certain corporate expenses which the Company does not believe are specifically attributable or allocable to either of the two business segments have been excluded from the segment operating income.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
