Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities and Transactions [Text Block] | 15. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Transactions During 2010, two entities owned by officers and principal shareholders of the Company (John H. Schwan and Stephen M. Merrick) provided financing for Flexo Universal, the Company’s Mexico subsidiary, for the acquisition and construction of latex balloon production and related equipment. The entities included Venture Leasing L.L.C., (“VLUS”), an Illinois limited liability company which is 100% owned by an entity owned by Mr. Schwan and Mr. Merrick, and Venture Leasing Mexico S. A. de R. L (“VLM”), a Mexico company which is also owned 100% by entities owned by Mr. Schwan and Mr. Merrick. The Company is the primary beneficiary of VLUS & VLM and accordingly consolidated the result of the entities in its financial statements. Mr. Schwan and Mr. Merrick, through entities owned by them, arranged for a line of credit in the amount of $1,000,000 from Barrington Bank in order to loan monies to VLUS as needed. During 2010, VLUS received advances on this line totaling $700,000. VLUS loaned substantially all of these funds to VLM. VLM utilized the funds to purchase materials, parts, components and services for the acquisition and construction of balloon production and related equipment to be placed at the premises of Flexo Universal. Assembly and construction of this equipment was completed on or about December 31, 2010 and, in January 2011, the equipment has been placed in service at Flexo Universal. Title to the equipment remains in the name of VLM. VLM leases the equipment to Flexo Universal under a three-year lease under which Flexo Universal will pay to VLM rental payments at the rate of approximately $9,000 per month and will have the right to purchase the equipment from VLM at the expiration of the lease at fair market value. The Company has not provided any guarantees related to VLUS or VLM and no creditors of the variable interest entities have recourse to the general credit of the Company as a result of including VLUS & VLM in the consolidated financial statements. The accounts of VLM and VLUS have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company for 2011 and 2010 and will be consolidated in the future.
