FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
6.        FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are
              corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
 
The tables below present the balances, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy.

The Company’s only asset or liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is marketable securities, based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt reasonably approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market or other information available to management. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
