Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE D – INCOME TAXES Realization of net operating loss carry-forward and other deferred tax temporary differences are contingent upon future taxable earnings. The Company’s deferred tax asset was reviewed for expected utilization by assessing the available positive and negative factors surrounding its recoverability. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company reversed a substantial portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the amount of $3,518,000 after considering all available positive and negative evidence, including our historical operating results, current financial condition, and potential future taxable income. This represented a change in accounting estimate and increased our net income by that amount as well and contributed $0.28 per diluted share for the period. The total valuation allowance released during the year ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $5.1 million. The Company has a remaining valuation allowance of approximately $975,000 relating to state net operating loss carryforwards we do not expect to utilize. Based upon all available evidence, the Company believes that the existing valuation allowance is appropriate and should not be adjusted for the current year. Approximately $94,000 of the valuation allowance is short term and $881,000 is long-term, against its remaining deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the assumptions used to determine the amount of our valuation allowance and may adjust the valuation allowance in future periods based on changes in assumptions of estimated future income and other factors. If the valuation allowance is reduced, we would record an income tax benefit in the period the valuation allowance is reduced. If the valuation allowance is increased, we would record additional income tax expense. Significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows at:
|  | September 30, 2013 |  |  | September 30, 2012 |
Current deferred income tax assets (liabilities): |  |  |  |  |  |
Inventories |  | $ | 262,162 |  |  | $ | 180,639 |
Accrued expenses and reserves |  |  | 657,125 |  |  |  | 160,809 |

Accrued expenses and reserves |  |  | 7,444 |  |  |  | 13,336 |
Goodwill |  |  | (549,608 | ) |  |  | (471,083 | )
|  |  | 1,691,652 |  |  |  | 7,301,589 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (881,079 | ) |  |  | (803,339 | )

As of September 30, 2013 the current income tax payable was approximately $81,000. As of September 30, 2012, the current income tax receivable was $2,000. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $14.3 million. The U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards will expire in 2023 through 2028 if not utilized. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $19.9 million. The state net operating loss carry forwards will expire in 2014 through 2022 if not utilized. As of September 30, 2013, the remaining valuation allowance of approximately $975,000 relates to state net operating loss carryforwards that we do not expect to utilize. The Company completed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 analysis of the loss carry forwards in 2009 and determined then that all of the company’s loss carry forwards are utilizable and not restricted under Section 382. The Company has not updated its Section 382 analysis subsequent to 2009 and does not believe there have been any events subsequent to 2009 that would impact the analysis. Deferred tax assets relating to equity compensation have been reduced to reflect tax deductions in excess of previously recorded tax benefits through the year ended September 30, 2013. Our federal and state NOL carry forwards referenced above at September 30, 2013 include approximately $1.8 million and $384,000, respectively of income tax deductions in excess of previously recorded tax benefits for equity based awards. Although these additional tax deductions are reflected in NOL carry forwards referenced above, the related tax benefit will not be recognized until the deductions reduce taxes payable. Accordingly, since the tax benefit does not reduce the Company’s current taxes payable in 2013, these tax benefits are not reflected in the Company’s deferred tax assets presented above. The tax benefit of approximately $637,000 at September 30, 2013 related to these excess deductions will be reflected as a credit to additional paid-in capital when recognized. The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the consolidated effective tax rate as a percent of pre-tax income for the following periods ended:
|  | September 30, 2013 |  |  | September 30, 2012 |
Federal statutory rate |  |  | 34 | % |  |  | 34 | %
State income taxes |  |  | 1 | % |  |  | 1 | %
Permanent differences |  |  | 2 | % |  |  | 4 | %
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | - |  |  |  | (115 | %)
Tax rate |  |  | 37 | % |  |  | (76 | %)
Components of the income tax expense (benefit) are as follows for the periods ended:
|  | September 30, 2013 |  |  | September 30, 2012 |
Current: |  |  |  |  |  |
Federal |  | $ | 180,706 |  |  | $ | 87,193 |

|  |  | 2,564,045 |  |  |  | (3,436,129 | )
Income tax expense (benefit) |  | $ | 2,803,172 |  |  | $ | (3,324,299 | )
The Company is required to recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applies the interpretation to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any interest or penalties during the years ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ending prior to 1998. We are generally subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations for all tax years since 1998 due to our net operating loss carryforwards and the utilization of the carryforwards in years still open under statute. The Company changed its fiscal year in 2007 from March 31 to September 30.
