Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts reported in these notes to consolidated financial statements for the prior year to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include:


●     sales returns and allowances;


●     trade marketing and merchandising;


●     allowance for doubtful accounts;


●     inventory valuation;


●     valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets;


●     income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and;


●     accruals for, and the probability of, the outcome of any current litigation.


On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Derivative Liabilities. The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the subordinated convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretative guidance of ASC 815 and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition. For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. The Company believes this revenue recognizing practice is appropriate because the Company’s sales policies meet the following four criteria: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide purchase orders with the agreed upon selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment, based on historical experience.

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $256 and $452 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]

Trade Marketing and Merchandising. In order to support the Company’s proprietary nutraceutical product lines, various promotional activities are conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with consumers, including in-store display and product placement programs, feature price discounts, coupons, and other similar activities. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when it deems necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotional programs based on estimates of what will be redeemed by the retail trade, distributors, or consumers. These estimates are made using various techniques, including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and actual performance are generally not material and are recognized as a change in management’s estimate in a subsequent period.

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $4 and $278 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has two stock-based compensation plans that have outstanding options issued in accordance with such plans. The Company periodically grants stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of its stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at the closing market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock based compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated fair value, utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model, of the instrument on the date of grant over the requisite vesting period, which is generally three years.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.


The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return as well as returns for various states. The Company’s income taxes have not been examined by any tax authorities for the periods subject to review by such taxing authorities. Uncertain tax positions taken on our tax returns are accounted for as liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2014 or 2013.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible debt, subject to anti-dilution limitations using the treasury stock method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.


In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers. Accounts receivable, less the allowance for doubtful accounts, reflect the net realizable value of receivables, and approximate fair value. The Company believes there is no concentration of credit risk with any single customer whose failure or nonperformance would materially affect the Company’s results other than as discussed in Note 10(c) – Significant Risks and Uncertainties – Major Customers. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and historical write-offs and collections. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $91 and $98, respectively. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance after management determines that the potential for recovery is remote.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Allowances for obsolete and overstock inventories are estimated based on “expiration dating” of inventory and projection of sales.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Building (in years)

15

Leasehold Improvements Shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease
Machinery and Equipment (in years) 7
Transportation Equipment (in years) 5
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. Tests for impairment or recoverability are performed at least annually and require significant management judgment and the use of estimates which the Company believes are reasonable and appropriate at the time of the impairment test. Future unanticipated events affecting cash flows and changes in market conditions could affect such estimates and result in the need for an impairment charge. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether circumstances warrant revised estimates of current useful lives. No impairment losses were identified or recorded in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 on the Company’s other intangible assets.


Other intangible assets consist of trade names, license fees, and unpatented technology. Amortization is being recorded on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from 13 years to 20 years based on contractual or estimated lives.

Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Investment in iBio, Inc. The Company accounts for its investment in iBio, Inc. (“iBio”) common stock on the cost basis as it retained approximately 6% of its interest in iBio (1,266,706 common shares) (the “iBio Stock”) at the time of the spin-off of this subsidiary in August 2008.  The Company reviews its investment in iBio for impairment and records a loss when there is deemed to be an impairment of the investment. There were impairment charges of $152 and $139 recorded in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The market value of the iBio Stock as of June 30, 2014, was approximately $0.5 million. Pursuant to the Company’s Loan Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), the Company is required to sell the iBio Stock when the trading price of the iBio Stock is less than $0.88 per share for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days on the applicable exchange and utilize all proceeds from such sale to prepay the outstanding principal of the term loan outstanding under the Loan Agreement at such time. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the trading price of the iBio Stock was less than $0.88 for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days. (See Note 6. Senior Credit Facility, Subordinated Convertible Note Payable, net - CD Financial, LLC and other Long Term Debt). As of September 8, 2014, the Company has not sold any shares of the iBio Stock.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. 


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, Topic 606. This Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this Update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to illustrate the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies and 2017 for non-public entities. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
