Correction of immaterial errors [Abstract] |
Correction of immaterial errors | Note 7 - Correction of immaterial errors In the fourth quarter of 2011, management discovered prior period tax accounting errors. The cumulative adjustment for the tax errors covering the period from February 1, 2007 to January 31, 2011, was approximately $315 thousand. The adjustment applicable to the fourth quarter of 2010 was approximately $135 thousand and the adjustment applicable to prior years (February 2007 - January 2010) totaled approximately $180 thousand. Pursuant to the guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99, Materiality, the Company concluded that the errors were not material to any of its prior period financial statements. Although the errors were immaterial to prior periods, the prior period financial statements were revised, in accordance with SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, due to the significance of the out-of-period correction. A reconciliation of the effects of the adjustments to the previously reported balance sheet at January 31, 2011 follows:
