Accounting Records and Use of Estimates | ' | |
1 | Accounting Records and Use of Estimates: | |
The accounting records are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates that we make include allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax assets and liabilities, fair value of marketable securities and revenue recognition. Estimates are based on historical experience where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. | ||
The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. The July 31, 2013 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's latest Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. | ||
The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year and future periods, projections of the proportion of income (or loss), and permanent and temporary differences. When estimating deferred taxes, management assumes New York State and City taxes will be calculated based on income versus capital franchise taxes. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter. | ||
Recent accounting pronouncements | ||
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the disclosure requirements regarding the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment does not change the current requirement for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but requires additional disclosures about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, and the income statement line items impacted by the reclassifications. We adopted this standard effective August 1, 2013 and have presented the disclosures in comparative form. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The effect of applying this standard is reflected in note 12. |

3 | Marketable Securities: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company categorizes marketable securities as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Dividends and interest income are accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company reviews marketable securities for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. The Company did not classify any securities as trading during the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and April 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and created the following three broad levels, with Level 1 valuation being the highest priority: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1 valuation inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date (e.g., equity securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange). Mutual funds are open ended investment funds registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and traded at daily net asset value ("NAV"). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2 valuation inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 valuation inputs are unobservable (e.g., an entity's own data) and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following are the Company's financial assets presented at fair value at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

4 | Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations: | |
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents and receivables. Marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents are placed with multiple financial institutions and multiple instruments to minimize risk. No assurance can be made that such financial institutions and instruments will minimize all such risk. | ||
The Company derives rental income from fifty tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 19.25% and another tenant accounted for 15.42% of rental income during the nine months ended April 30, 2014. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same period. | ||
The Company has one irrevocable Letter of Credit totaling $230,000 at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 provided by a tenant as a security deposit. |

The Company contributes to a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering its union employees. The Company contributions to the Pension Plan were $11,271 and $32,824 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014, respectively, and $10,000 and $24,778 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013, respectively. The Company also contributes to union sponsored health benefit plans. | ||
The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering substantially all of its non-union employees. Operations were charged $105,773 and $297,143 as contributions to the Plan for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014, respectively, and $80,396 and $262,499 as contributions to the Plan for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013, respectively. | ||
Contingent Liability for Pension Plan | ||
Information as to the Company's portion of accumulated pension plan benefits and plan assets is not reported separately by the union sponsored pension plan. A contingent liability may exist because an employer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, upon withdrawal from a multi-employer defined benefit plan, is required to continue to pay its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits, if any. The liability under this provision has not been determined; however, the Company has no intention of withdrawing from the plan. Union annuity and health and welfare benefits plans are defined contribution plans and do not have unfunded vested benefits. |
