NOTE 18 - PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

(1)  Preferred Stock

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors will be authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to 1,000,000 additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights of redemption, including sinking fund provisions, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designations of any series. Such shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. As of July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011, there was no preferred stock outstanding.

(2) Common Stock and Equity Transactions

On May 15, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,142,856 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,071,428 warrants with an exercise price of $0.875 per share to Allied Merit International Investments, Inc. and Griffin Ventures Ltd. Total consideration of the issuance was $ 1,500,000. The warrants expired on May 15, 2012 and there was no warrants exercised by the expire date.

The fair value of the warrants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model to be $496,732. The valuation was based on the assumptions noted in the following table.

Expected volatility	175.80	%
Expected dividends	0	%
Expected term (in years)	3 years
Risk-free rate	1.375	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the warrants at the time of grant.  The dividend yield on our common stock is assumed to be zero since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to pay them in the future.  The market price volatility of our common stock was based on historical volatility since May 15, 2008.  Our methodology is consistent with prior period volatility assumptions.  The expected life of the warrants is based upon our anticipated expectations of exercise behavior since no options have been exercised in the past to provide relevant historical data.
