Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES For the two quarters ended February 28, 2021, we recorded income tax expense of $0.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $0.4 million, resulting in an effective tax expense rate of approximately 138 percent for the first half of fiscal 2021. Our effective tax rate was adversely affected by an increase in the valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets, non-deductible executive compensation, and certain other non-deductible expenses, which were partially offset by the favorable impact of the exercise of stock options during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 (Note 6). We computed our income tax provision for the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 using the discrete method, applying the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to our pre-tax loss. We believe that this method yields a more reliable income tax calculation for the reported period. We believe the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reasonable due to its sensitivity to small changes in forecasted annual income or loss before income taxes, which would result in significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax income or loss for interim periods.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
