Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

4.       Stockholders’ Equity

In addition to common stock, authorized capital includes 1,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock.  None was outstanding during the three years ended December 31, 2013.  The Board of Directors is authorized to issue such stock in series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, rights, limitations and restrictions with respect to any series of such shares.  Such “blank check” preferred stock may rank prior to common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock.

            Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the following share data (in thousands):

	2013	2012	2011
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic calculation	14,147	14,328	14,345
Dilutive effect of stock options		156
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted calculation	14,147	14,484	14,345

         In 2013 and 2011, the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares was not recognized since we had a net loss.   Approximately 1.9 million shares in 2013, 738,000 shares in 2012 and 1.8 million shares in 2011 were issuable upon the exercise of stock options, which were not included in the diluted per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.  In 2013 and in 2011, 352,613 shares and 179,336 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were not included because they were anti-dilutive.

         In July 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $5.0 million of our common stock.  These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices the company deems appropriate.  During 2013, we used $358,000 to repurchase 80,077 shares of our common stock.  In 2012, we used $661,000 to repurchase 146,015 shares of our common stock.
