Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	12. Earnings per Share Net income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Net income per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect and from the assumed vesting of unvested shares of restricted stock. For the three months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, dilutive potential common shares outstanding were immaterial and had no effect on the calculation of earnings per share because shares were anti-dilutive. The total basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30,2023, was approximately 1.4 million shares. On October 12, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Charter (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Prior periods shares have been restated to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split in calculating earnings per share (see Note 14- "Equity and Stock Based Compensation " for additional details).
