STOCK OPTION PLAN [Text Block]

6. STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under Canal's 1984 Employee and 1985 Directors Stock Option Plans, 550,000 and 264,000 shares, respectively, of Canal's common stock have been reserved for option grants. The purchase price of shares subject to each option granted, under the Employee and Directors Plans, will not be less than 85% and 100%, respectively, of their fair market value at the date of grant. Options granted under both plans are exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant, but no option will be exercisable earlier than one year from the date of grant. Under the Employee Plan, stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with stock options, either at the time of grant of the options or at any time thereafter. No stock appreciation rights have been granted under this plan. There were no options outstanding under either of these plans at October 31, 2011 or 2010.
