Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]

7. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using standard costs which approximate costing determined on a first-in, first out basis. Standard costs are reviewed and adjusted periodically and at year end based on actual direct and indirect production costs. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, primarily by reviewing future demand requirements and shelf life of the product.

Inventories are comprised of the following:

		December 31, 2011			December 31, 2010
Raw materials	$	3,027,000		$	2,588,000
Work in Process		1,503,000			685,000
Finished Goods		9,193,000			7,471,000
Allowance for excess quantities		(384,000)			(376,000)
Total inventories	$	13,339,000		$	10,368,000

The entire disclosure for inventory. This may include, but is not limited to, the basis of stating inventory, the method of determining inventory cost, the major classes of inventory, and the nature of the cost elements included in inventory. If inventory is stated above cost, accrued net losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory and losses resulting from valuing inventory at the lower-of-cost-or-market may also be included. For LIFO inventory, may disclose the amount and basis for determining the excess of replacement or current cost over stated LIFO value and the effects of a LIFO quantities liquidation that impacts net income.
