Business Activity Disclosure [Textblock]
NOTE 2 – ITEX DOLLAR ACTIVITY
 
As discussed in Note 1, the Company receives ITEX dollars from members’ transaction and association fees, and, to a lesser extent, from other member fees.  ITEX dollars earned from members are later used by the Company as a method of payment in revenue sharing and incentive arrangements with its Broker Network, co-op advertising with Marketplace members, as well as for certain general Marketplace and corporate expenses.
 
The Company records transactions at the fair value of products or services received when those values are readily determinable.  Most of ITEX dollar transactions during the periods presented in these financial statements lacked readily determinable fair values and were recorded at the cost basis of the ITEX dollars surrendered, determined to be zero.
 
During three-months ending October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company spent ITEX dollars on certain products and services for corporate purposes such as legal, consulting and marketing services with readily determinable fair market values.  Those ITEX dollar activities were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as follows (in thousands):
