−Removed: the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
−Removed: The guidance also establishes
−Removed: a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable
−Removed: inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
−Removed: Observable inputs include those that market participants would
−Removed: use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
−Removed: inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset
−Removed: or liability.

−Removed: for a lack of marketability discount and the time value of money based on expectation as to the timing of a potential liquidity event
−Removed: which could affect the timing of a settlement of the convertible notes.
−Removed: The income approach was primarily based on a discounted cash flow
−Removed: analysis with assumptions regarding forecasted revenues, operating margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate to compute the net present
−Removed: value of such cash flows.
−Removed: In determining the revenue
−Removed: and expense assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow analysis, the Company considered the disruptive nature of AVLP’s

+Added: in the decision making process and to replace us as manager and/or liquidate the joint venture, if applicable.
+Added: Variable Interest Entity Considerations –
+Added: We have determined that AVLP
+Added: is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk.
+Added: We do not consolidate AVLP because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not
+Added: have a controlling financial interest.
+Added: To be a primary beneficiary, an entity must have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that
