Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8 – Income Taxes The Company has adopted accounting standards which prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a company’s income tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Additionally, these accounting standards specify that tax positions for which the timing of the ultimate resolution is uncertain should be recognized as long-term liabilities. The Company has made no reclassifications between current taxes payable and long term taxes payable under this guidance. Also, the Company had no amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s policy for deducting interest and penalties is to treat interest as interest expense and penalties as taxes. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no amount accrued for the payment of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The tax return years 2010 through 2014 remain open to examination by the major domestic taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. Additionally, net operating losses generated on a tax return basis by the Company for calendar years 1999 through 2004 and 2009 remain open to examination by the major domestic taxing jurisdictions. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate (34% in 2014, 2013 and 2012) to income before taxes as follows:
|  | YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, |
|  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |

At December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax return purposes of approximately $9,518,000 which expire between 2019 and 2033. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $1,540,000 that begin to expire in 2014 and 2029. A substantial part of this carryforward is subject to separate return limitations. Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of capital losses and certain state net operating losses, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against a portion of its net domestic and foreign deferred tax assets. The net valuation allowance increased by $416,000, decreased by $68,000, and decreased by $61,000 for the tax years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets may be limited in the event of a 50% or more ownership change within any three-year period. Future federal net operating losses generated by the Company can be carried forward for 20 years. It is the intention of the Company to reinvest the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are to be reinvested indefinitely. As of December 31, 2014, there is a minimal cumulative amount of earnings upon which U.S. income taxes have not been provided.
