MtronPTI revolving loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase") due September 30, 2014. The loan bears interest at the greater of Chase's prime rate or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum (3.25% at June 30, 2014), which is due and payable monthly. | $ | 1,500 | $ | 1,181 | |||||
On June 30, 2011, MtronPTI entered into a loan agreement with Chase, which was amended on June 28, 2012, September 28, 2012, June 30, 2013 and September 19, 2013 (the "Chase Loan Agreement"). The Chase Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,500,000, to be used solely for working capital needs (the "Chase Revolving Loan") and matures on September 30, 2014. The Chase Loan Agreement also provides that it may be extended for up to three 12-month renewal terms starting on June 30, 2014, upon written request by MtronPTI and approval by Chase. On May 5, 2014, Chase approved the extension of the maturity date under the Chase Loan Agreement from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014. | |||||||||
The total borrowing capacity on the Chase Loan Agreement is subject to certain limitations on the borrowing base as defined in the Chase Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2014, MtronPTI had approximately $1,500,000 outstanding under the Chase Revolving Loan and no available borrowing capacity. The Company intends to retire the line of credit prior to its maturity on September 30, 2014, and repay the amount outstanding from existing funds. | |||||||||
All outstanding obligations of MtronPTI under the Chase Loan Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of MtronPTI, excluding real property. Additionally, in connection with the Chase Loan Agreement, PTI entered into a separate agreement with Chase providing that PTI would not mortgage or otherwise encumber certain real property it owns in Florida while any credit facility is outstanding under the Chase Loan Agreement. | |||||||||
As additional security for MtronPTI's obligations under the Chase Loan Agreement, MtronPTI's obligations under the Chase Loan Agreement are fully collateralized in cash. Accordingly, Chase retains a security interest in a separate account holding $1,500,000 of MtronPTI cash deposits pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit agreement. The amount of the cash collateral deposit with Chase is recorded as restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The related Assignment of Deposit agreement restricts MtronPTI's ability to withdraw any portion of the deposit and does not allow MtronPTI to assign the deposit or any part thereof. | |||||||||
The Chase Loan Agreement also contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, a financial covenant that MtronPTI maintain tangible net worth not less than $6,000,000. As of June 30, 2014, MtronPTI was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant under the Chase Loan Agreement. Based on the definition of tangible net worth under the Chase Loan Agreement, MtronPTI had a tangible net worth of $3,075,000 as of June 30, 2014, as compared to the minimum requirement of $6,000,000. Chase has waived non-compliance with this covenant as of June 30, 2014, in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement dated August 6, 2014. |

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
F. Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption. The fair value of grants was calculated using historical volatility as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Stock Compensation, also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon past history of actual performance, forfeiture rates ranging from zero percent to twenty percent have been assumed for options granted. | |
On June 11, 2014, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase a total of 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Michael Ferrantino, Sr., pursuant to the Company's 2011 Incentive Plan. These stock options have an exercise price of $4.90, a five-year life expiring on June 11, 2019, and vest as follows: 60% immediately; an additional 20% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 20% on the third anniversary of the grant date. These stock options have a grant date fair value of $1.48 per option. | |
In connection with Gregory P. Anderson's resignation on May 21, 2014, the Company modified the terms of his August 9, 2012 Incentive Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which options to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company's common stock vested immediately. The Company also modified the terms of Mr. Anderson's February 29, 2012 and March 26, 2013 Restricted Stock Agreements pursuant to which a total of 1,470 restricted shares will vest six months after his resignation and an additional 1,470 restricted shares will vest one year after his resignation. | |
The terms of the options reflect the objective to align management incentives with long-term value creation. | |
Restricted stock awards are granted at a value equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. There were no restricted stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014. | |
Compensation expense related to share-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $172,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. | |
G. Earnings (Loss) Per Share | |
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusts basic earnings (loss) per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Board of Directors as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share. | |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 there were options to purchase 247,493 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were options to purchase 192,401 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive. |

Warrant Dividend [Text Block] | ' |
On August 6, 2013, the Company distributed warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as a dividend to holders of the Company's common stock on July 29, 2013, the record date for the dividend. Stockholders received five warrants for each share of the Company's common stock owned on the record date. When exercisable, 25 warrants will entitle their holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment). | |
The warrants are "European style warrants" and will only become exercisable on the earlier of (i) their expiration date, August 6, 2018, and (ii) such date that the 30-day volume weighted average price per share, or VWAP, of the Company's common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 (subject to adjustment). Once the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement between the Company and the warrant agent until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the expiration date. | |
The warrants are traded separately from the Company's common stock on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "LGL WS". | |

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, based on the Company's assessment of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax benefits in future tax returns. When assessing the need for valuation allowances, the Company considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should a change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years, the Company will adjust related valuation allowances in the period that the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or charge to income. | |

Implementation of this plan for realignment is expected to be substantially completed within the third quarter of 2014. Management continues to evaluate opportunities to improve the Company's operating leverage and position for improved results. As a result of this plan for realignment, the Company incurred restructuring charges during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, of $397,000. These restructuring charges consisted of approximately $334,000 of employee separation costs and $63,000 of other office closure-related costs. | |||||||||||||

Stock-based compensation policy | ' |
F. Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption. The fair value of grants was calculated using historical volatility as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Stock Compensation, also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon past history of actual performance, forfeiture rates ranging from zero percent to twenty percent have been assumed for options granted. | |
On June 11, 2014, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase a total of 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Michael Ferrantino, Sr., pursuant to the Company's 2011 Incentive Plan. These stock options have an exercise price of $4.90, a five-year life expiring on June 11, 2019, and vest as follows: 60% immediately; an additional 20% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 20% on the third anniversary of the grant date. These stock options have a grant date fair value of $1.48 per option. | |
In connection with Gregory P. Anderson's resignation on May 21, 2014, the Company modified the terms of his August 9, 2012 Incentive Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which options to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company's common stock vested immediately. The Company also modified the terms of Mr. Anderson's February 29, 2012 and March 26, 2013 Restricted Stock Agreements pursuant to which a total of 1,470 restricted shares will vest six months after his resignation and an additional 1,470 restricted shares will vest one year after his resignation. | |
The terms of the options reflect the objective to align management incentives with long-term value creation. | |
Restricted stock awards are granted at a value equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. There were no restricted stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014. | |
Compensation expense related to share-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $172,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. | |
G. Earnings (Loss) Per Share | |
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusts basic earnings (loss) per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Board of Directors as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share. | |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 there were options to purchase 247,493 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were options to purchase 192,401 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive. |
