Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142) “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests. The Company follows this guidance. The Company tests goodwill that is not subject to amortization for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment is possible. Goodwill was tested at the end of the first quarter, February 29, 2012 and it was found that the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired. No events or circumstances occurred in the second quarter of 2012 to indicate that an impairment test was necessary. The impairment test performed February 29, 2012 was based on a discounted cash flow model using management’s business plan projected for expected cash flows. Based on the computation it was determined that no impairment has occurred. An impairment test was performed at February 28, 2011 and based on the computation using discounted cash flows, it was also determined that no impairment occurred.
