Long-term Debt [Text Block] | (12) Credit Facility On May 12, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Facility that provided potential total availability up to $50,000,000 to support short-term funding needs and letters of credit. Loans made under the Credit Facility were scheduled to mature with the commitments thereunder to terminate in May 2016. The Credit Facility originally provided for an option, subject to certain conditions, to increase potential total availability to $60,000,000 in the future. Borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is also determined by a monthly borrowing base collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment, less certain reserves and subject to certain other adjustments. Based on the above mentioned calculation, at December 31, 2014, the Company had actual total availability for borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Facility of $28,337,000 of which we had drawn $17,000,000, leaving $10,582,000 still available for borrowing, after accounting for the letter of credit. Along with an unrestricted cash balance of $7,003,000, we had total cash and available borrowing capacity of $17,585,000 as of December 31, 2014. Approximately $4,652,000 of the unrestricted cash balance relates to the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries. Standby letters of credit up to a maximum of $5,000,000 could be issued under the Credit Facility of which $755,000 and $806,000 were issued at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all domestic assets of the Company. The weighted average interest rate for outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2014 was 2.6%. The weighted average interest rates for borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 2.5% and 2.4%, respectively. The Company had no capitalized interest in 2014 or 2013. Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled approximately $397,000 and $333,000, respectively. The Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, prepay other indebtedness, modify organizational documents and certain other agreements, create restrictions affecting subsidiaries, make dividends and other restricted payments without bank approval, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of our business and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, if the Company’s availability under the Credit Facility fell below $6,000,000 (or $8,000,000 for a period of five or more consecutive days), the Company was required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. However, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company faced potential defaults under certain covenants of the Credit Facility caused primarily by the loss of Dana as a customer (See Note 2). The Company’s Credit Facility also contains a subjective acceleration clause which allows the lender to accelerate payments on current borrowings and discontinue availability under the Credit Facility based on its subjective assessment of the Company’s operations. At December 31, 2014, management did not expect that the lender would exercise this clause of the agreement after the loss of the Dana revenues and in fact the lender has not done so. However, due to the existence of this subjective acceleration clause within the Credit Facility and the loss of Dana as a customer, the Company determined that the risk of such acceleration, while unlikely, was no longer remote, and the Company’s debt was classified as current as of December 31, 2014. The Credit Facility was amended during the first quarter of 2015 to, among other things: (i) waive certain existing or potential events of default, (ii) limit total borrowings to $25,000,000, (iii) restrict the payment of dividends, (iv) increase the applicable margin on borrowings which will result in an initial interest rate of approximately 6% and increasing by 50 basis points beginning June 2015 and each month thereafter to an estimated interest rate of 10% in January 2016, (v) revise the maturity date to January 15, 2016, (vi) revise certain financial covenants to include a minimum cumulative free cash flow covenant, (vii) establish minimum excess availability of $1,000,000 initially, through May 31, 2015, and then in the amount of $5,000,000 on or before September 30, 2015, and (viii) require the Company to raise new capital by securing subordinated debt or divesting certain real property or a combination thereof on or before September 30, 2015 (and, if earlier than September 30, 2015, to maintain minimum excess availability of $5,000,000 thereafter). The Company engaged an investment banking firm on March 20, 2015 to provide financial advisory services in connection with its effort to secure new subordinated debt. The Company also engaged a commercial real estate firm to provide advisory and brokerage services related to a potential transaction involving certain real property owned by the Company. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company. In addition to the aforementioned pursuit of capital sources, the Company is also considering opportunities to support its cash flow from operations in 2015 through sources of cash from either investing or financing activities. The Company is exploring alternatives to monetize certain assets of the Company for values in excess of the availability being provided under the Credit facility, thereby generating additional sources of capital to the Company. In connection with the Amendment, the Company has received the proceeds of subordinated indebtedness from Gill Family Capital Management in an amount of $4,000,000. Gill Family Capital Management is an entity controlled by our president and chief executive officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. Gill Family Capital Management, Inc., Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders in the Company. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 8.00% per year and matures on April 12, 2016. All principal and interest on the promissory note will be due and payable on the maturity date. Based on the current forecast for 2015, the Company expects to be able to meet the financial covenants of its amended Credit Facility and have sufficient liquidity to finance its operations. Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying its current forecast are realistic, the Company has considered the possibility of even lower revenues and other risk factors such as its ability to onboard new business within the Industrial Group, continued delays in program bookings within our Electronics Group, or its ability to execute its current contingency plans. Non-compliance with the covenants would provide the debt holder with the ability to demand immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the amended Credit Facility. Accordingly, the inability to comply with covenants, obtain waivers for non-compliance, or obtain alternative financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Based upon the Company’s current level of operations and its 2015 business plan, the Company believes that cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under its amended Credit Facility will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.
