Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Accounting Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is the opinion of management that all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial results are reflected in the financial statements for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the audited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year. 

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and acquired entities since their respective dates of acquisition. All significant inter-company amounts were eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications

Upon the adoption of recent accounting standards as further described below the Company made certain reclassifications to the condensed consolidated balance sheets to comply with the standard and made similar reclassifications to conform to the current year presentation. At December 31, 2016, the Company reclassified deferred tax assets of $48,826 against non-current deferred tax liabilities of $447,811. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of operations or earnings per share as a result of adopting this standard.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments, along with any related tax effects, are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Translation adjustments are reclassified to earnings upon the sale or substantial liquidation of investments in foreign operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average month-end exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses related to transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, including operations outside the U.S. where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are reported net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the nature of the activity.

Use Of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring use of estimates and judgment relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation reserves, ability to realize intangible assets and goodwill, ability to realize deferred income tax assets, fair value of certain financial instruments and the evaluation of contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There were no significant changes in accounting estimates used by management during the quarter.

Significant Accounting Policies [Policy Text Block]

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the first six months of 2017 from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, except as noted below under the section “recently adopted accounting pronouncements”.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Codification 740 “Income Taxes.” In November 2015, ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” was issued. This ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and reclassified $48,826 of current deferred tax assets to non-current deferred tax assets reflected at December 31, 2017. All deferred tax assets are presented as non-current.

Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” was issued. This ASU provides for areas of simplification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU in the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the Company did not recognize any adjustments due to the fact that the Company had a tax-effected full valuation allowance of approximately $9.3 million applied against its U.S. based deferred tax assets, of which approximately $352,200 was applied against unrealized stock option benefits. In the event the Company generates sufficient taxable income to utilize its deferred tax assets the Company may be required to recognize up to $352,200 in deferred tax assets relating to unrealized stock option benefits and a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. The Company estimates forfeiture rates and adjusts such rates when appropriate.

Accounting Standards Codification 230 “Statement of Cash Flows.” In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” was issued. This ASU provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice for those issues. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company early adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of this accounting standard during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 and the comparative period did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Standards under Evaluation

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The accounting standard establishes the principles to apply to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognition, specifying the accounting for certain costs related to revenue, and requiring additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and related cash flows. The guidance, as amended, supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements, and is effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company anticipates using the full retrospective method, which applies the new standard to each prior reporting period presented. The Company has been working on the implementation of the standard and has made good progress in evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. There will be some changes to the recognition timing and classification of revenues and expenses; however, the Company does not expect a significant impact to pretax income upon adoption. The Company is also in the process of implementing changes to its accounting policies, business processes, systems and internal controls to support the recognition and disclosure requirements under the new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on leases. The guidance, which is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, requires virtually all leases to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, which requires recording existing operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption and in the comparative period. The Company is in the process of identifying changes to its accounting policies, business processes, systems, and internal controls in preparation for the implementation. Specifically, the Company is currently reviewing its lease portfolio and is evaluating and interpreting the requirements under the guidance, including the available accounting policy elections, in order to determine the impacts to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

Accounting Standards Codification 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” was issued. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity should apply this ASU on a prospective basis and for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
