3.      Financial Instruments:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Prior to February 9, 2010, the Company sold products in various global markets. As a result, the Company was exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.  Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) included in other income (expense), were $0 for each three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.  On December 31, 2013, the Company had no open foreign exchange contracts to sell Euros or any other foreign currencies.  Certain warrants expired on September 9, 2013, which then ended the Company’s liability associated with these warrants, which had an exercise price of $30.00.  The Company recorded a non-cash gain of $10 and $3 in the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to these warrants.

Changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar are currently immaterial to our operating results. Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk may increase over time as our business evolves.

The balance in note receivable at December 31, 2013 was $0.  In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the note receivable balance consisted of a loan related to the Company’s investment in CollabRx.  After the completion of the acquisition of CollabRx, the note receivable was reclassified to be included as part of the purchase price, thereby extinguishing the $300 bridge loan previously extended to CollabRx.  Also as part of the purchase price, the Company assumed $500 of existing CollabRx indebtedness through the issuance of promissory notes.  The principal of the promissory notes is payable in equal installments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of issuance, along with the accrued but unpaid interest as of such dates.  See Note 8, CollabRx Acquisition.

On November 22, 2011, the Company completed a $300 strategic investment in NanoVibronix, Inc., a private company that develops medical devices and products that implement its proprietary therapeutic ultrasound technology.  The Company’s investment in NanoVibronix is in the form of a convertible promissory note that bears interest at a rate of 10% per year compounded annually and matures on November 15, 2014.  Principal and accrued interest under the note automatically convert into shares of Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of NanoVibronix upon the earlier to occur of (i) a $3,000 (or larger) equity financing by NanoVibronix or (ii) a sale of NanoVibronix.  In addition, the Company may convert principal and accrued interest under the note into shares of NanoVibronix Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock at its election at any time.  In either case, the conversion price is $0.284 per share.
