Please see response below to your comment letter dated May 26, 2011:
Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended February 28, 2011
Fair Value Measurements, Page F-14
1.
We note your response to prior comment 1 and have the following comment. Tell us why you believe the instruments should be included in this table when they do not appear to be measured and valued at fair value on a recurring basis. See ASC 820-10-50-1(a). In addition, you state that the instruments outlined in your response are not based on “management estimates but rather based on verifiable cash amounts with specific contractual terms.” Please note that fair value is defined as theprice that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarketparticipants at the measurement date. Thus, the fair value can differ than the cash amounts.
Our certified external auditors categorized these items as Level 2 and we believe these items are correctly fair valued as such. Level 2 fair value includes significant other observable inputs. TheCompany uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item. The carrying amounts ofloan receivable, notes payable and convertible loan, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Per ASC 820framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company.The itemsare similar to bank loans.
Both the receivable and the liabilities are reviewed and periodically marked to market. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. Our external auditors categorized these items as Level 2.
