Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | NOTE 10 - EQUITY COMPENSATION Stock Based Compensation The Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders in November 2012 and that covers all of its full-time employees, outside directors and certain advisors. This 2012 Stock Incentive Plan replaced all previous equity compensation plans. The options granted or stock awards made pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at the date of grant or award. Service-based options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable 25% each ninety days (cumulative) from the date of grant and options granted to employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. Performance-based options granted to employees become exercisable 33.3% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is ten years. If a stock option holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement, as defined in the Plan, the Plan generally provides for acceleration of vesting. The number of shares reserved for issuance is 911,875 shares, all of which were available for future grant or award as of September 30, 2016. This plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. Service based and performance based stock options were granted and restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) were awarded during the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, a total of 3,647,927 options for common shares were outstanding from this plan as well as one previous stock option plan (which has also been approved by shareholders), and of these, a total of 1,586,188 options for common shares were vested and exercisable. As of September 30, 2016, the approximate unvested stock option expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods is $4,013,412. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 29 months. Additionally, as of September 30, 2016 a total of 118,575 restricted stock units were outstanding. The approximate unvested stock compensation expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods for the RSU’s is $691,432. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 35 months. Stock Options The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions were used for grants in the periods indicated.
|  | Three Months Ended |

Dividend yield |  |  | 1.8 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 42.9 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1 | %
Expected life (in years) |  |  | 6.0 |
At September 30, 2016, the 832,500 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2017 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $10.08 to $11.06 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.39 to $3.83 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months. At September 30, 2015, the 942,800 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2016 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $8.84 to $9.99 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.28 to $3.88 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months. The Company calculates stock option expense using the Black-Scholes model. Stock option expense is recorded on a straight line basis, or sooner if the grantee is retirement eligible as defined in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, with an estimated 3.4% forfeiture rate effective July 1, 2016. Previous estimated forfeiture rates were between 2.0% and 3.3% between the periods January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised. It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued. The Company recorded $1,438,443 and $1,488,753 of expense related to stock options in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 3,583,341 stock options that were vested and that were expected to vest, with a weighted average exercise price of $9.17 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,698,736 and weighted average remaining contractual terms of 7.3 years.

Dividends on RSU’s in the amount of $13,898 and $2,160 were accrued as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued dividends are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSU’s and issuance of shares. The following table presents information related to restricted stock units:

Unvested at June 30, 2016 |  |  | 62,500 |  |  | $ | 9.39 |

As of September 30, 2016, the 118,575 restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of between 2 years 9 months and 3 years 9 months. Of the 118,575 RSU’s outstanding, 113,868 are vested and expected to vest in the future. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.4% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $302,301 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2015, the 72,000 outstanding restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of 3 years, 9 months. Of the 72,000 RSU’s outstanding, 69,081 are expected to vest as of September 30, 2015. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.3% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $286,257 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Director and Employee Stock Compensation Awards The Company awarded a total of 9,470 and 5,260 common shares in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as stock compensation awards. These common shares were valued at their approximate $103,100 and $49,300 fair market values based on their stock price at dates of issuance multiplied by the number of common shares awarded, respectively, pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company stock and for employees who received a nominal recognition award in the form of company stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. This plan is fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of September 30, 2016 there were 30 participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of 258,699 common shares with a cost of $2,469,034, and 228,103 common shares with a cost of $2,167,717 were held in the plan as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The change in the number of shares held by this plan is the net result of share purchases and sales on the open stock market for compensation deferred into the plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The Company does not issue new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company used approximately $343,700 and $228,200 to purchase 34,587 and 24,914 common shares of the Company in the open stock market during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for either employee salary deferrals or Company contributions into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. For fiscal year 2017, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 45,000 to 50,000 common shares of the Company. The Company does not currently repurchase its own common shares for any other purpose.
