| Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block] |
We have a Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) that provides benefits to eligible employees. Under the Plan, as amended and restated effective February 1, 2012, employees are eligible to participate on the first of the month following 30 days of employment, provided they are at least 18 years of age, by contributing between 1 percent and 20 percent of pre-tax earnings. Company contributions match employee contributions at levels as specified in the Plan document. In addition, we may contribute a portion of our net profits as determined by our Board of Directors. Participants are vested immediately in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Company contributions plus actual earnings thereon generally vest ratably over a four year period. Company contributions, which consist of matching contributions, with respect to the Plan for the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $21,000 and $33,000, respectively. During fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, we made matching contributions of $21,000 and $14,000 respectively, through forfeited matching funds previously contributed to the Plan. We have obligations to match employee contributions made to the Plan. Generally, our obligation is equal to 100 percent of up to 5 percent of employees’ contribution amounts. If we are unable to meet the requisite matching, the Plan may need to be amended. |
