Debt [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Debt. Debt totaled $29.4 million at April 30, 2015, a net decrease of $0.2 million since January 31, 2015. Revolving lines domestic. On September 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with a financial institution ("Credit Agreement"). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which matures on September 24, 2019, the Company can borrow up to $25 million, subject to borrowing base availability from secured domestic assets and other requirements, under a revolving line of credit. The Loan Agreement covenants restrict debt, liens, and investments, and require attainment of specific levels of profitability and cash flows. At April 30, 2015, the Company was not in compliance with the specific level of Borrowing Base availability for the period ended March 31, 2015. While not a covenant violation, the financial institution has the right in the Credit Agreement to have all domestic receipts deposited in a bank account from which all funds may only be used to serve the revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement. The domestic revolving line balance as of January 31, 2015 has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying financial statements. On April 30, 2015, the Company completed the second amendment to the Credit Agreement. The second amendment increases the borrowing base by adding the cash surrender value of assigned life insurance policies multiplied by ninety percent. Interest rates vary based on the average availability in the preceding fiscal quarter and are: (a) a margin in effect plus a base rate, if below certain availability limits; or (b) a margin in effect plus the Eurodollar rate for the corresponding interest period. As of April 30, 2015, the Company had borrowed $12.0 million at 3.25% and 1.71% and had $6.5 million available to it under the revolving line of credit. In addition, $0.1 million of availability was used under the Credit Agreement primarily to support letters of credit to guarantee amounts committed for inventory purchases. Cash required for operations is provided by draw downs on the line of credit. Revolving lines foreign. The Company also has credit arrangements used by its Danish and Middle Eastern subsidiaries. These credit arrangements are in the form of overdraft facilities and project financing at rates competitive in the countries in which the Company operates. The lines are secured by certain equipment, certain assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, and a guarantee by the Company. Some credit arrangement covenants requires a minimum tangible net worth to be maintained. At April 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the credit arrangements. At April 30, 2015, interest rates were 4.0% per annum below National Bank of Fujairah Base Rate, minimum 3.5% per annum, and Emirates Inter Bank Offered Rate (EIBOR) plus 3.5% per annum.
