FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

As defined by the ASC, fair value measurements and disclosures establish a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the type of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below:

 

· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

· Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly-quoted intervals.

 

· Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

 

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

 

    Quoted Prices in                       Total Increase (Reduction)

Balance Sheet   Identical Assets or     Observable Inputs     Unobservable     January 31, 2013     Recorded at
