Restricted stock [Abstract] |
Schedule of deferred and restricted Stock [Table Text Block] | Deferred stock In June 2017 under the Omnibus Plan described above, the Company granted deferred stock units to each non-employee director at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders equal to the result of dividing $40,000 by the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The stock vests on the date of grant, however it will only be distributed to the directors upon their separation from service. Since this stock is granted to non-employees, the Company records a mark-to-market adjustment on a quarterly basis, offsetting this to the deferred liability account. As of January 31, 2018, there were approximately 90,070 deferred stock units outstanding included in restricted stock activity below:

The Company calculates restricted stock compensation expense based on the grant date fair value and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
