Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Foreign Currency Disclosure [Text Block]	Foreign Currency The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has been troubled with various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa. Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy. A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its operation in Venezuela under this method. In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, moving the official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 per U.S. dollar. Concurrent with this action, the Venezuelan government established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as Complementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD”). The amount of transactions that have run through the SICAD and restrictions around participation have limited our access to any foreign exchange rate other than the official rate to pay for imported goods and manage our local monetary asset balances. Although the official exchange rate has remained at 6.3, the government announced in January 2014 that the exchange rate for goods and services deemed non-essential would move to the rate available on the expanded SICAD currency market, which was 11.7 at February 28, 2014 (referred to as SICAD 1). In March 2014, a new exchange control mechanism was opened by the government, referred to as SICAD 2, which is not restricted by auction and is available for all types of transactions. The SICAD 2 rate does not supersede the SICAD 1 rate of 11.7 or the country's official exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes. The use of the SICAD 1 rate, however, is dependent upon the availability of auctions, and is not indicative of a free market exchange, as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. The Company, therefore, has used the SICAD 2 rate for its Venezuelan subsidiary for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, which was approximately 50 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 at August 31, 2014, with the exception of the Company's investment in Venezuelan government issued sovereign bonds (See Note 4). The SICAD 2 exchange rate is intended to more closely resemble a market driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela's other regulated exchange mechanisms. Net currency exchange losses of $(6,334) and $(6,232) were recorded for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, which includes the remeasurement loss on the Company's Venezuelan bonds of $(6,702), as described in Note 4, and are included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Our investment in Venezuela includes approximately $13,192 of rental properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. As of August 31, 2014, the Company made an assessment of the recoverability of its investment properties in Venezuela as a result of the existence of certain indicators of impairment. In testing the recoverability of its investment properties, the Company considered the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received from these properties, the length of time the properties have been held, the volatile market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, and the intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on our assessment, none of our rental properties were impaired as of August 31, 2014. Our automotive business in Venezuela and our ability to obtain U.S. dollars are impacted by the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government. The Company is monitoring this situation closely and continues to evaluate its local properties. However, further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.
