Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 1 – Condensed Financial Information

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial reporting and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB's”) guidance regarding presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance requires that comprehensive income be presented with the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income or as a separate statement immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, and can no longer be presented as part of the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The Company adopted the guidance using the two statement approach, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's results or financial condition.

As part of the Company's chemical management services, certain third-party product sales to customers are managed by the Company. Where the Company acts as the principal, revenue is recognized on a gross reporting basis at the selling price negotiated with customers. Where the Company acts as an agent, such revenue is recorded using net reporting as service revenues, at the amount of the administrative fee earned by the Company for ordering the goods. Third-party products transferred under arrangements resulting in net reporting totaled $11,229 and $11,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
