Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Statement Presentation The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2021.
Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic [Policy Text Block] | Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic created some new challenges for the Company through the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The Company has experienced results consistent with that of a strengthening economy including increased demand in all three segments compared to fiscal 2020. With increased demand, material prices have been skyrocketing, while labor availability has been scarce. These factors will be a challenge for the Company as it works to fulfill its strong backlog over the remainder of fiscal 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the Company’s business operations and financial operating results and there is uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q) for further discussion.
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] | Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2020, to identify the non-cash expense related to changes in the Company’s obsolete inventory reserve in the amount of $180,758. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Change In Accounting Estimate [Policy Text Block] | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A full description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of twelve months or greater. The Company adopted this guidance for fiscal 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, including interim periods within that reporting period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior comparative periods. The Company has a moderate amount of leasing activity mainly as the lessee of office equipment and as the lessor of modular rental buildings. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized $34,316 as a right-of-use asset and $34,316 of lease liabilities on the balance sheet in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 for office equipment it leases. The Company’s activity as a lessor will remain mostly unaffected by this guidance. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting entities, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 in fiscal 2024. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on its allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable.
