3. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

In the year ended May 31, 1993, the Company approved the 1992 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (the "1992 Plan"). The 1992 Plan authorized the issuance of stock options, restricted shares of stock and stock bonus awards to eligible participants. The 1992 Plan provides for the reservation and availability of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, dividends, reorganizations and other similar events, at exercise prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. Options are exercisable from 12 months after the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. At May 31, 2012, no options were granted under the 1992 Plan.

 

The following is a summary of transactions relating to warrants which are granted at the discretion of the board of directors:

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) ASC 105 (formerly No. 168). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”). This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), authoritative and non-authoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification changed the Company’s references to GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

 

Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company evaluates the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using the following fair value hierarchy which ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value:

 

 

  Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable

 

 

  Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability and that include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

The Company evaluated assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company. The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of May 31, 2011, by the level within the fair value hierarchy:

* Cash equivalents consist of money market instruments with original maturity dates of less than three months for which the fair value is based on inputs observable in active markets for identical securities.
