NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS.

Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for marketable securities and other investments at fair value.

Marketable securities, consisting of variable rate demand notes, were $0 and $1,002,000 at November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company purchased variable rate demand notes. The interest rate on the variable rate demand notes reset every seven days to adjust to current market conditions. The Company could redeem these demand notes at cost at any time with seven days notice. Therefore, the investments were held at cost, which approximates fair value, and were classified as short-term investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company holds these investments as available for sale.

Marketable securities consisting of trading securities were $20,760 and $0 at November 30, 2012 2011. Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets. There was $7,100 in unrealized holding loss recorded in other income and expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended November 30, 2012.

Other Investments

The Company uses the guidance as described above, to account for the other investments. The fair value of other investments as of November 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0 and $6,400, respectively. There was no unrealized holding gain or loss recorded as a component of stockholders’ deficit on other investments as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
