Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block] | Note 11 - Derivative Instruments; Fair Value The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. We may enter into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable interest rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in accrued liabilities of our consolidated balance sheet. Our accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet our criteria for designation as hedging transactions, which include the instrument’s effectiveness, risk reduction and, in most cases, a one -to- one matching of the derivative instrument to our underlying transaction. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had one derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge, with the same instrument accounted for as a hedge as of March 31, 2018. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We have no such derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2018. Changes in fair value for the respective periods were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The interest rate swap we entered into December 14, 2017 had a three year term (ending December 14, 2020) and a notional amount of $3 million. The Company purchased a 2.25% fixed rate in exchange for the variable rate on a portion of the notes payable under the PNC Agreements, which was 1.47% at time of execution. The fair value of the swap was insignificant as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019. It is expected that this instrument will be eliminated with no gain or loss to the Company as a result of the forbearance agreement entered into during March 2019.
