Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 5 – Income Taxes: On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before January 01, 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 01, 2021 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of various provisions of the CARES Act, but at present, expects that the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us. While the Company is still in the process of filing income tax returns for tax year 2019 (FY20), it estimates a taxable loss of approximately $10,000 that can be carried back to tax year 2015 (FY16). Furthermore, The Company estimates additional taxable loss for tax year 2020 (current FY 21) which can be carried back to remaining taxable income of tax year 2015 (FY16) and taxable income of tax years 2016 (FY 17) and 2018 (FY 19). On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). Among other significant changes, The Tax Act reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The carryback of NOLs from tax years 2019 and 2020 under CARES Act to pre- Tax Act years will generate an income tax benefit due to differential in income tax rates. Under U.S. GAAP, specifically ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the tax effects of changes in tax laws must be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted, or March 27, 2020, for the CARES Act. Thus, at the date of enactment, the Company has recorded an income tax benefit of $1,100 which represents the impact of the carryback of NOL related to tax year 2019 (FY20) which can be estimated with reasonable certainty. Once the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of NOL that will be generated in tax year 2020 (current fiscal year) that is available to carryback to prior years, it will record the appropriate tax benefit to the income tax provision in applicable quarters. The effective tax rate was -28.2% and 23.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 were impacted by such items as non-deductible meals and entertainment, non-taxable gains and losses on life insurance policies and state income taxes. As of April 17, 2020, the Company has no federal or state (except $800 California) net operating loss carry forwards. Our federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2016 through 2018. We are subject to income tax in California and various other state taxing jurisdictions. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2015 through 2018.
