Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | 4. Convertible Notes Payable On December 30, 2011, management entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roundball LLC. Over the past several years there have been several amendments to the original agreement. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value estimate for recognizing the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which can materially affect the fair value estimates. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire in December 2016. The fair value of the warrants issued was amortized over the one-year amended convertible loan agreement period. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the option pricing model: a risk free interest rate of 0.42%; an expected life of 1 year; an expected dividend yield of 0.0%; and a volatility factor of .84. |

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Capital Stock, Treasury Stock, Contributed Capital and Stock Options Unissued shares of Class A common stock (832,233 shares) are reserved for the share-for-share conversion rights of the Class B common stock, stock options under the Directors Plans, conversion rights of the Convertible Promissory Note and available warrants. The Company's 2013 Omnibus Equity Plan was approved and adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's Class A and Class B Shareholders and provides for the grant of the following types of incentive awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares and Class A Common Shares. Those who will be eligible for awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan include employees who provide services to the Company and its affiliates, executive officers, non-employee Directors and consultants designated by the Compensation Committee. The Plan has 150,000 Class A Common Shares reserved for issuance. The Class A Common Shares may be either authorized, but unissued, common shares or treasury shares. No share-based awards have been granted under the 2013 Omnibus Equity Plan as of March 31, 2016. The Company's expired Outside Directors Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Directors Plans"), have provided for the automatic grant of options to purchase up to 5,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company, at the fair market value on the date of grant. The options are exercisable for up to 10 years. Options for 5,000 Class A shares were outstanding at March 31, 2016 (6,000 shares at September 30, 2015 and 20,000 shares at March 31, 2015) at prices ranging from $2.925 to $11.00 per share. Options for 1,000 shares expired during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 at $2.925 per share. In addition, options for 2,000 shares expired during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 at $6.45 per share. All outstanding options under the expired Directors Plans became fully exercisable on March 8, 2015. The following is a summary of the range of exercise prices for stock options outstanding and exercisable under the expired Directors Plans at March 31, 2016: Directors Plans Outstanding Stock Options Weighted Average Share Price Weighted Average Remaining Life Number of Stock Options Exercisable Weighted Share Price Range of exercise prices: $2.925 - 5.25 4,000 $ 2.925 5.8 4,000 $ 2.925 $6.00 - 7.25 1,000 $ 6.00 4.0 1,000 $ 6.00 $10.50 - $11.00 - - - - - 5,000 $ 3.54 5,000 $ 3.54 The Company accounts for Share-Based Payments under the modified prospective method for its stock options for both employees and non-employee Directors. Compensation cost for fixed based awards are measured at the grant date, and the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value estimates for recognizing the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which can materially affect the fair value estimates. Employee stock options are immediately exercisable while Director's stock options are exercisable over a three year period. The fair value of stock option grants to Directors is amortized over the three year vesting period. During the three and the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively $0 and $0; $0 and $543 was expensed as share-based compensation. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the option pricing model for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively: a risk free interest rate of 5.0% and 5.0%; an expected life of 10 and 10 years; an expected dividend yield of 0.0% and 0.0%; and a volatility factor of .87 and .87. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | 8. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company did not incur any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the adoption of any new accounting standards during the periods reported. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity apart from the other income tax cash flows. The standard also allows us to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on our cash flow statements, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard is effective for us beginning October 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard will be effective for us beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact this standard will have to our financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15") requires that an entity's management evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of this new standard on its quarterly reporting process. |

In addition, conversion rights to purchase 252,367 shares of common stock during the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2016 at a price of $1.85 per share were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the conversion rights of the Convertible Promissory Notes effect was antidilutive or the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common share.
