Comprehensive Income (Loss) Note [Abstract]

Comprehensive Income

Note 12-Comprehensive Income:

The FASB’s ASC Comprehensive Income topic requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations.  Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that otherwise would not be recognized in the calculation of net income.

In May 2012, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 to reflect comprehensive income in two statements which include the components of net income and total net income in the first statement, immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income.

As of April 30, 2013, and April 30, 2012, the Company held equity securities consisting primarily of ETFs and select common stock holdings of blue chip companies with a concentration on large capitalization companies with high relative dividend yields that are classified as securities available-for-sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Additionally, as of April 30, 2013, and April 30, 2012, the Company held non-leveraged ETFs, classified as securities available-for-sale, whose performance inversely corresponds to the market value changes of investments in other ETF securities held in the equity portfolio for dividend yield.  The change in valuation of these securities, net of deferred income taxes, has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The components of comprehensive income that are included in the Consolidated  Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the twelve months ending April 30, 2013 are as follows:
