Fair Value  In accordance with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="84%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="62%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="8%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="8%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="8%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> June 30, 2013: </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 2</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 3</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Total</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Derivative Instruments </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,501</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">12,293</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16,794</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="16"></td> <td height="16" colspan="4"></td> <td height="16" colspan="4"></td> <td height="16" colspan="4"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> December 31, 2012: </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 2</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 3</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Total</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(In thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Derivative Instruments </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,780</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">309</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,089</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> </table> Level 3 financial instruments consist of certain common stock warrants and the embedded conversion features. The fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion features that have exercise reset features are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements,” during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The unobservable input used by the Company was the estimation of the likelihood of a reset occurring on the embedded conversion feature of the Amended and Restated Convertible Notes, the embedded conversion feature of the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Notes, the embedded conversion feature of the Amended and Restated Bridge Notes, and the embedded conversion feature of the Amended and Restated June 2010 Warrants. These estimates of the likelihood of completing an equity raise that would meet the criteria to trigger the reset provisions are based on numerous factors, including the remaining term of the financial instruments and the Company’s overall financial condition. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the periods June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="76%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">June 30, 2013</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">December 31, 2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Beginning Balance </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">309</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">7,712</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Derivative liability of embedded conversion feature of the Amended and Restated Bridge Notes </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,105</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Amended and Restated Reimbursement Notes </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">156</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Change in fair value </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">10,723</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(7,403</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> </tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1px"> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Ending Balance </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">12,293</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">309</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> </table> Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change to the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities.
