The dilutive effect of our share-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all share-based awards are exercised and the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares (difference between shares assumed to be issued versus purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. The dilutive effect of our convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures is computed using the if-converted method, which assumes conversion at the beginning of the year.</div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify">For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, common stock equivalents related to the convertible debentures, convertible debt and preferred stock and stock derivative liability were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.</div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"><b><i>Reclassifications</i></b></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify">Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.</div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"><i>Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements</i></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify"> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif" align="justify">In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 amends ASU 2011-05 and requires that entities disclose additional information about amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) by component. Significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI are required to be presented either on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income or in the notes to the financial statements. The requirements of ASU 2013-02 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods in those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-02 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.</div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></div> </div> falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 8 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=28200181&loc=SL6228881-111685 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 720 -SubTopic 15 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2122524 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 205 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6359566&loc=d3e326-107755 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 205 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=7668296&loc=d3e288-107754 Reference 6: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2197480 Reference 7: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=18733093&loc=d3e5614-111684 Reference 8: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 915 -SubTopic 235 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6472506&loc=d3e38932-110933 Reference 9: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 852 -SubTopic 10 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2209116 Reference 10: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 272 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6373374&loc=d3e70478-108055 Reference 11: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 275 -SubTopic 10 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2134480 Reference 12: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 205 -SubTopic 10 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2122150 false0Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]falseOrganization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting PoliciesUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://www.vcsy.com/role/OrganizationBasisOfPresentationAndSignificantAccountingPolicies12
