New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 02, Leases (Topic 842 ). The new standard supersedes the present U.S. GAAP standard on leases and requires substantially all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. ASU 2016 - 02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and in the original guidance the modified retrospective application was required, however, in July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018 - 11 which permits entities with another transition method in which the effective date would be the date of initial application of transition. Under this optional transition method, we would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We adopted ASU 2016 - 02 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and the optional transition method. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classifications. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our balance sheet, but did not have an impact on the Company's beginning retained earnings, statement of income, or statement of cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.
