New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]  
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. This standard becomes effective and will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 with early adoption not permitted. Under our application of the existing guidance, sales made to distributors and retailers are generally deferred until the distributors or retailers sell the merchandise to their end customer. Under the new standard, sales made to distributors and retailers may be recognized upon transfer of inventory to the distributor or retailer resulting in earlier revenue recognition than per existing guidance with additional use of estimation. In addition, the timing of our revenue relating to the licensing of our intellectual property could materially change. The Company is currently evaluating the appropriate transition method and any further impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued accounting guidance “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment.” This new standard raises the threshold for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This standard is effective prospectively for all disposals of components that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals (or new classifications as held for sale) that have not previously been reported in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if any, and will determine whether to adopt this guidance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.
