NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AVP, Inc. (“AVP”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in AVP’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of AVP’s financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the consolidated audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2006, as reported in the Form 10-KSB as previously filed with the SEC, have been omitted.
2. RESCISSION OFFER
Options granted in 2004 to AVP players under AVP's 2002 Stock Option Plan were not exempt from registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws, and AVP did not obtain the required registrations or qualifications. As a result, AVP commenced a rescission offer to the holders of these options on August 9, 2006. On September 8, 2006, the rescission offer expired. Several players accepted the offer totaling approximately $20,000, including interest expense. AVP may continue to be liable under federal and state securities laws for amounts with respect to which the rescission offer is not accepted.
3. NET LOSS PER BASIC AND DILUTED SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method.
The following options, warrants and other incremental shares to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share available to common shareholders for the periods presented as their effect would be antidilutive.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and a single option award approach. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected term. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The expected term of options granted from historical data on employee exercises is not yet determinable. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $100,879 of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.41 years. Due to the inherent uncertainty in valuing awards for publicly-traded stock as of the grant date, given that such awards will be exercised, purchased or sold at indeterminate future dates, the actual value realized by the recipients, if any, may vary significantly from the value of the awards estimated at the grant date.
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

Risk-free interest rate | 4.54% | |
Expected life | 3 years | |
Expected volatility | 84% | |

5. STOCK OPTIONS
Stock Option Plans
On August 23, 2005, the stockholders approved the adoption of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the 2005 Plan, AVP may grant awards of stock options (including stock purchase warrants) and restricted stock grants to its officers, directors, employees, consultants, players, and independent contractors. AVP may issue an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of its common stock under the 2005 Plan, including approximately 14,000,000 shares consisting of management warrants, as well as options previously granted by the Association which were subsequently converted to AVP stock options pursuant to the Merger Agreement. AVP may grant both incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and options, warrants, and other rights to buy AVP’s common stock that are not qualified as incentive stock options. No stock options may be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of each optioned share is determined by the Compensation Committee; however the exercise price for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the optioned shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of AVP’s Common Stock must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The expiration date of each option shall be determined by the Committee at the date of grant; however, in no circumstances shall the option be exercisable after 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan will expire no more than ten years from the date on which the option is granted, unless the Board of Directors determines an alternative termination date. If incentive stock options are granted to holders of more than 10% of AVP’s Common Stock, such options will expire no more than five (5) years from the date the option is granted. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, stock options granted under the 2005 Plan will vest and become exercisable on the anniversaries of the date of grant of such option at a rate of 25% per year over four years from the date of grant.
The following table contains information on the stock options under the Plan for the period ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006. The outstanding options expire from April 2008 to November 2016.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Lease
The Company leases its corporate office facilities under a non-cancellable operating lease expiring in March 2010. The lease agreement contains a renewal option for an additional five-year term. In addition, the lease agreement provides for rental escalations at defined intervals during the lease term. Rent expense is recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recognized and rent payable under the rental escalation clauses is reflected in accrued expenses.
The Company also subleases approximately 4,500 square feet of warehouse space pursuant to a sublease that expires on February 15, 2008. The space is used for storing tournament equipment and the company’s trucks.
The future minimum rental payments under the non-cancellable operating leases commitment are as follows:
Years Ending December 31,
2007 | $ | 275,080 | ||
2008 | 351,500 | |||
2009 | 357,000 | |||
2010 | 90,000 | |||
Total | $ | 1,073,580 |
Rent expense for the corporate office facility charged to operations was $79,853 and $78,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Officer Indemnification
Under the organizational documents, AVP’s directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to AVP. AVP also has an insurance policy for its directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from the performance of their duties required by their positions with AVP. AVP’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against AVP that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, AVP expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments,” which is an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host), if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have any impact on AVP’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an Amendment of SFAS No.140”. SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 to clarify the accounting for servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Among other provisions, the new accounting standard requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 is effective for the fiscal periods beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” ( EITF 06-03). EITF 06-03 applies to taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and states that the presentation of such taxes on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Additionally, for such taxes reported on a gross basis, the amount of such taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements if the amounts are significant. The provisions of EITF 06-03 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. On January 1, 2007, AVP adopted EITF 06-03. AVP collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments. AVP’s excise taxes are accounted for on a gross basis and recorded as revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no taxes levied by state or local governments.
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ( FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN48 requires that we recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle is recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
On September 29, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - An Amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R. This new standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity and in changes in net assets of a not-for-profit organization. Statement 158 applies to plan sponsors that are public and private companies and nongovernmental not-for-profit organizations. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly traded equity securities, and at the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007, for all other entities. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measure at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reporting in earnings. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently does not believe SFAS 159 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 5, 2007, AVP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with AVP Holdings, Inc. and AVP Acquisition Corp., affiliates of Shamrock Capital Growth Fund II, L.P. ("Shamrock"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, AVP Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into AVP, with AVP continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of AVP common stock and Series B preferred stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $1.23 and $33.93, respectively, and AVP will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AVP Holdings, Inc. The total value of the transaction is approximately $36.9 million. The transaction, which is expected, but not certain to close in the summer of 2007, is subject to certain customary terms and conditions, including stockholder approval, but is not subject to any financing condition. If this transaction is completed, AVP will become a privately held company and its common stock will no longer be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, the special committee (“Special Committee”) of the board of directors of AVP, Inc. entered into an agreement dated January 26, 2007, as amended by an amendment dated April 19, 2007 (collectively, the “Jefferies Agreement”) with Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) under which Jefferies would provide the Special Committee with financial advice and assistance in connection with the Special Committee’s review of a possible sale or other business transaction, including merger, stock purchase, recapitalization, and such, of AVP (a “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Jefferies Agreement, Jefferies will render an opinion as to the fairness of the consideration to be paid to the AVP stockholders in a Transaction. With respect to the Merger Agreement, Jefferies has rendered an opinion as to the aforementioned $1.23 per share. For its services, Jefferies received in accordance with the Jefferies Agreement a non-refundable fee of $250,000 on April 5, 2007 upon delivery of the opinion. In addition, Jefferies is entitled to receive a $500,000 transaction fee upon consummation of a Transaction; provided, however, that if such Transaction is at a price greater than $1.23 per share, Jefferies is entitled to receive in addition to the $500,000 fee, the greater of $250,000 or 5% of the aggregate consideration in excess of $1.23 per share. Finally, AVP will reimburse Jefferies for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Jefferies in connection with the engagement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Background
We originally incorporated under the name Malone Road Investments, Ltd., on August 6, 1990, in the Isle of Man. We re-domesticated in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1992 and subsequently domesticated as a Delaware corporation in 1994. Pursuant to Delaware law, we are deemed to have been incorporated in Delaware as of the date of our formation in the Isle of Man. We changed our name to PL Brands, Inc. in 1994; changed our name to Othnet, Inc. in March 2001; and changed our name to AVP, Inc. on March 9, 2005. Since December 2001 until the Merger (as defined below), we had no business operations other than to attempt to locate and consummate a business combination with an operating company.
AVP's Business
We own and operate professional beach volleyball tournaments in the United States. The AVP tour is the sole nationally recognized U.S. professional beach volleyball tour. Every top U.S. men’s and women’s beach volleyball professional, including the women’s gold and bronze medalists in the 2004 Olympic Games, competes on the AVP tour. We have more than 200 of the top professional players under exclusive contracts, as well as a growing base of spectators and television viewers that we believe represent an attractive audience for national, regional, and local sponsors. Our business includes establishing and managing tournaments; sponsorship/advertising sales and sales of broadcast, licensing, and trademark rights; sales of tickets, food, beverage, and merchandise at the tournaments; contracting with players in the tour; and associated activities.
AVP's beach volleyball tournament season customarily commences in early April and continues until late September or early October. For 2007, we scheduled 18 men’s and 18 women’s events in Miami, FL, Dallas, TX, Huntington Beach, Glendale, AZ, Hermosa Beach, CA, Louisville, KY, Tampa, FL, Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC, Seaside Heights, NJ, Long Beach, CA, Chicago, IL, Manhattan Beach, CA, Boston, MA, Brooklyn, NY, Cincinnati, OH, Las Vegas, NV, San Francisco, CA. Nine of the 18 cities are the same as last year.
AVP Acquisition
On February 28, 2005, Association of Volleyball Professionals, Inc. (the “Association”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of AVP, then known as Othnet, Inc., consummated a merger pursuant to a merger agreement, signed in June 2004, as amended (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Association became our wholly owned subsidiary, and the Association’s former stockholders (including holders of stock options and stock purchase warrants) beneficially owned 61.2% of all common stock beneficially owned by all beneficial owners of our capital stock. On December 16, 2005, AVP effectuated a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which is reflected in all share amounts referred to in this report.

Total Revenue | $ | 169,000 | $ | 122,816 | 38 | % |
AVP’s business is seasonal, therefore revenue, gross profit and operating income amounts and percentages for the first and fourth quarters are not representative of our performance. The majority of AVP’s revenues are derived from sponsorship and advertising contracts with national and local sponsors. AVP recognizes sponsorship revenue during the tour, as the events occur and collection is reasonably assured, in the proportion that prize money for an event bears to total prize money for the season. AVP's beach volleyball tournament season customarily commences in early April and continues until late September or early October. As mentioned above, our first and fourth quarters have insignificant revenue, gross profit, and operating income. We did not produce any beach volleyball events in the first quarters of 2007 or 2006. Accordingly, we did not recognize any sponsorship revenue, activation fees, or local revenue in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
The 38% increase in miscellaneous revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 reflects trademark licensing revenue earned in connection with Crocs, Inc. for AVP branded footwear and ticket sales for an indoor exhibition event.
Event Costs
Event costs primarily include the direct costs of producing an event, costs related to the airing of events on network television, and the cost of servicing our sponsors. Event costs are recognized on an event-by-event basis and event costs billed and/or paid prior to their respective events are recorded as prepaid event costs and expensed at the time the event occurs.

The decrease in the gross profit margin is due to the added event costs related to the indoor exhibition event that took place during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

As mentioned above, AVP’s primary business is seasonal; therefore revenue, gross profit and operating income amounts and percentages for the first and fourth quarters are not representative of our performance.

As of March 31, 2007, our primary source of liquidity is comprised of $8.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Over the last two years, our primary sources of liquidity have included cash on hand at the beginning of the year, cash flows generated from continuing operations, and cash flow provided by financing activities. We have generated significant cash flows from the issuance of our common stock through private placements, which are described in more detail below in “Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities.”
21
We believe that we have sufficient working capital ($3.4 million at March 31, 2007) to finance our operational requirements for at least the next twelve months, including purchases of inventory and equipment and the addition of two more events for the 2007 tour season.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $2.9 million. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in deferred revenue. Working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, was $3.4 million at March 31, 2007 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2006.
At March 31, 2007 and 2006, accounts receivable decreased $2.0 million and $0.2 million as compared to December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, deferred revenues increased $3.4 million and $2.6 million as compared to December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deferred revenues are recorded as AVP collects revenues prior to holding certain events. The decrease in accounts receivable and the increase in deferred revenue is the result of improved collections.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.2 million and $0.06 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, AVP purchased two trailers and information technology equipment in preparation for the 2007 tour season. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, AVP purchased a scoreboard, a trailer and computer equipment in preparation for the 2006 tour season.
Cash flows used in financing activities for 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $0.4 million, respectively. In February 2006, AVP paid the remaining principal amount due on the promissory note to MPE with whom Leonard Armato, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, was affiliated. This note constituted the purchase price delivered by AVP to MPE for the interests in MPE Sponsorship, LLC in connection with sponsorship sales services previously provided by MPE to the Association.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue and Expense Recognition
The majority of AVP’s revenues are derived from sponsorship and advertising contracts with national and local sponsors. AVP recognizes national sponsorship/advertising revenue and activation fees during the tour season, as the events occur and collection is reasonably assured, in the proportion that prize money for an event bears to total prize money for the season. Cash collected before the related events are recorded as deferred revenue. Event costs are recognized on an event-by-event basis. Event costs billed and/or paid before the related events are recorded as deferred costs and expensed at the time the event occurs.
AVP also derives additional revenue from local sponsorships/advertising, promoter fees, event ticket sales, concession rights, event merchandising, and licensing. Revenues and expenses from the foregoing ancillary activities are recognized on an event-by-event basis as the revenues are realized and collection is reasonably assured. Licensing revenue is recognized as royalties are earned and collection is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
AVP accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred taxes to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments,” which is an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host), if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.

The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have any impact on AVP’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an Amendment of SFAS No.140”. SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 to clarify the accounting for servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

AVP collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments. AVP’s excise taxes are accounted for on a gross basis and recorded as revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no taxes levied by state or local governments.
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ( FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN48 requires that we recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle is recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

This new standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity and in changes in net assets of a not-for-profit organization. Statement 158 applies to plan sponsors that are public and private companies and nongovernmental not-for-profit organizations. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly traded equity securities, and at the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007, for all other entities. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," ("SFAS 159").
