NOTE 4 -FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting period. The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

 

As of November 30, 2011, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These consisted of cash and cash equivalents.  The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices in public markets and is categorized as Level 1.    The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 2 or Level 3.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011.

The Company had no financial assets accounted for on a non-recurring basis as of November 30, 2011.

 

There were no changes to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset fair values on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the three months ended November 30, 2011 and the Company did not have any financial liabilities as of November 30, 2011. The Company has other financial instruments, such as advances and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and other assets, which have been excluded from the table above. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value of advances and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and other assets approximate their fair values.
