Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
8. Compensation Plans	The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at the initial date of grant. In April 2004, the Company's stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan provided for issuances of awards of up to 250,000 restricted or unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock, or incentive or non-statutory stock options to purchase such common stock. None of the total amount of options is outstanding. As of February 18, 2014, no further options may be granted under the 2004 Plan. There was one option grant, for a total of 10,000 shares, that was forfeited in the first three months of 2016 and eight option grants, for a total of 201,500 shares, that expired in the first three months of 2015. Other than the forfeitures and expirations, there was no activity related to stock options and outstanding stock option balances or other equity based compensation during the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company did not grant any equity based compensation during the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015. In April 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan provided for issuances of awards of up to 500,000 restricted or unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock, or incentive or non-statutory stock options to purchase such common stock. Of the total amount of shares authorized under this plan, no options have been granted and 500,000 shares are available for grant at January 31, 2016. The options issued under the plans generally vest in periods up to five years based on the continuous service of the recipient and have 10 year contractual terms. Share awards generally vest over one year. Option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the plans). Compensation is determined using the Black-Scholes model and the simplified method to derive the expected term of the options and historical volatility over the past five years. All incentive and non-qualified stock option grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
