Fair Value Considerations

9. Fair Value Considerations

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

Level 1 luations: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 valuations: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.

Level3valuations: Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to its financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of October 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011, respectively, are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

9. Fair Value Considerations - continued

The features embedded in the $42,500 face value convertible note were combined into one compound embedded derivative that the Company fair valued using the Binomial Lattice valuation model. The Binomial model was believed by management to be the best available technique for this compound derivative because, in addition to providing for inputs such as trading market values, volatilities and risk free rates, the Binomial Lattice model also embodies an assumption that provides for a vesting date, which is a necessary input for valuing this compound derivative since the compound derivative is not exercisable for six months after the issuance date. The following table sets forth the inputs for each significant assumption as of the conversion dates (August 18, 2011, September 12, 2011, September 19, 2011, and September 23, 2011) and April 30, 2011:

The financings giving rise to derivative financial instruments	August 18, 2011			September 12, 2011			September 19, 2011			September 19, 2011			April 30, 2011
Conversion price	$	.0553		$	.0400		$	.0396		$	.0295		$	.1353
Volatility		101.92	%		100.52	%		98.67	%		102.01	%		93.75	%
Term (years)		0.25			0.18			0.16			0.15			0.55
Risk-free rate		0.01	%		0.01	%		0.01	%		0.01	%		0.11	%
Vesting date	08/14/2011			08/14/2011			08/14/2011			08/14/2011			08/14/2011

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair valued hierarchy:

	Derivative Financial Instruments
	October 31, 2011			April 30, 2011
Beginning Balance	$	(47,382	)	$	(881	)
Total gains or losses (realized or unrealized):
Included in earnings		9,415			8,130
Convertible note conversions		37,967			8,130
Convertible note issuances		-			(54,631	)
Ending Balance	$	-		$	(47,382	)

Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
