Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 7 – Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Goodwill, which is not amortized for financial statement purposes, is amortized over a 15-year period for tax purposes, but evaluated for impairment annually as of September 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value may not be recoverable. Considered factors for potential goodwill impairment evaluation with respect to The Technology Companies include the current year’s business profitability before intangible amortization, fluctuations of revenues, changes in the marketplace, the status of deferred installation contracts and new business, among other things. In addition, Accounting Standards Codification 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, allows for the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit. If it is determined based on qualitative factors that there is no impairment to goodwill, then the fair value of a reporting unit is not needed. If a quantitative analysis is required and the unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step is performed to measure the amount of potential impairment. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis in 2013 did not result in an impairment charge based on the qualitative assessment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reclassified an additional $1,700,000 to goodwill from its intangible assets as it finalized the valuation of the ISD acquisition to reflect $13,400,000 as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014. There was no goodwill impairment during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014.
