Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | K – Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company has stock-based compensation plans available to grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors and certain advisors of the Company. The stock-based compensation plans currently being utilized are the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the Stock Incentive Plan. At April 30, 2013, there are 860,500 vested but unexercised options outstanding under the 1997 Option Plan (“1997 Plan”). The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense for all plans of $1.9 million ($1.2 million after tax effects) and $2.2 million ($1.4 million after tax effects) for the year ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tax benefits were recognized for these costs at the Company’s overall effective tax rate. Stock Options The Company has options outstanding under two stock option plans approved by the shareholders, the 1997 Stock Option Plan (“1997 Plan”) and the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”). While previously granted options remain outstanding, no additional option grants may be made under the 1997 Plan. The shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s 2007 Plan on October 13, 2010. The amendment increased from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 the number of options to purchase our common stock that may be issued under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors and certain advisors of the Company at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and for periods not to exceed ten years. Options granted under the Company’s stock option plans expire in the calendar years 2014 through 2022.

Last expiration date for outstanding options | July 2, 2017 |  | March 27, 2022
Shares available for grant at April 30, 2013 | - |  | 392,500
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below.
| April 30, 2013 | April 30, 2012 | April 30, 2011
Expected terms (years) | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.0
Risk-free interest rate | 0.78% | 1.48% | 1.80%
Volatility | 50% | 50% | 50%
Dividend yield | - | - | -
The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The following is an aggregate summary of the activity in the Company’s stock option plans from April 30, 2010 to April 30, 2013:
