CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

NOTE 5 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

The Company holds cash on deposit in excess of federally insured limits and has liquid mutual fund investments at Bank of America (the “Bank”). Management does not believe that the risks associated with keeping deposits in excess of federal deposit limits or holding investments in liquid mutual funds represent material risks.

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2013, a significant portion of the balance of cash and cash equivalents was invested in a high-quality money market fund with at least 80% of its net assets invested in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury obligations. The fund is sponsored by an investment division of the Bank.

Pursuant to the requirements of an amended and restated EPC contract, GPS established a separate bank account in May 2010 which was used to pay the costs defined as “reimbursable costs” that were incurred on the related construction project and to receive cost reimbursement payments from the project owner. During the year ended January 31, 2012, GPS completed the project and the funds in this account in the amount of $1,243,000 were released from restriction.
