Stock Options | |||||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued no stock options without performance-based vesting conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 9,000 stock options that vest over a four year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. The weighted average exercise price of these stock options is $2.48. Compensation expense related to stock options without performance-based vesting conditions was $55,000 and $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company issued no stock options with performance-based vesting conditions. Of the unvested stock options outstanding at March 31, 2014, 1,069,200 are subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. The performance conditions related to approximately 18,000 of these stock options were deemed probable as of March 31, 2014. Compensation expense related to performance-based stock options, for which vesting was deemed probable, was $53,000 and $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The performance conditions related to the remaining options were not deemed probable at March 31, 2014; therefore no compensation expense related to these options has been recorded. | |||||||||||
The weighted-average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 6.84 years and 4.31 years, respectively. | |||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, there were 1,215,450 unvested options expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 8.8 years. As of December 31, 2013, there were 1,586,076 unvested options expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 8.9 years. | |||||||||||

Restricted Stock | |||||||||||
The Interphase Corporation 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan provided for grants of bonus stock awards (“restricted stock”) to its directors and certain employees at no cost to the recipient. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to cash dividends, if declared, and to vote their respective shares. Restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares during a predefined vesting period of approximately one year and in some cases vesting is subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. There were no shares of restricted stock issued during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013. Upon issuance of restricted stock under the plan, unearned compensation equivalent to the market value at the date of grant is recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity and subsequently amortized to expense over the respective restriction periods. Compensation expense related to previously granted restricted stock was $15,000 and $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, there was $109,000 of total unamortized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock remaining to be recognized. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year. As of December 31, 2013, there was $124,000 of total unamortized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock remaining to be recognized. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTE 3. - MARKETABLE SECURITIES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company classifies the levels used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to obtain at the measurement date. This level provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Valuations in the category are inherently less reliable than Level 1 due to the degree of subjectivity involved in determining appropriate methodologies and the applicable observable market underlying assumptions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity, and significant to the overall fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s investments in marketable securities primarily consist of investments in debt securities, which are classified as available for sale and presented as current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Earnings from debt securities are calculated on a yield to maturity basis and recorded in the results of operations. Unrealized gains or losses for the periods presented were included in other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification method and were not material for the periods presented. Marketable securities are used to secure the Company’s credit facility. The fair values of marketable securities were estimated using the market approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Company uses quoted market prices in active markets or quoted market prices in markets that are not active to measure fair value. When developing fair value estimates, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market involves an inherent level of risk and uncertainty due to technology trends in the industry and customer demand for the Company’s products. Future events may cause significant fluctuations in the Company’s operating results. Inventories are written down when needed to ensure the Company carries inventory at the lower of cost or market. The Company’s reserve requirements increased by $14,000 and $16,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |

NOTE 5. - INCOME TAXES | |
The Company records a valuation allowance when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management reviews all available positive and negative evidence, including the Company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the Company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, length of carry back and carry forward periods, existing contracts or sales backlog that will result in future profits, as well as other factors. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on all of the net deferred tax assets for the periods presented. Until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained, the Company expects to continue to record a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits except for those that may be generated in foreign jurisdictions. The effective income tax rates for the periods presented differ from the U.S. statutory rate as the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2014 and 2013. |

On October 19, 2012, the Company committed to a plan intended to improve the balance between the Company’s communications networking product expenses with the reduced revenue levels of this product line. Under the 2012 restructuring plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 10 regular full-time positions. As a result of the 2012 restructuring plan, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $253,000, classified as an operating expense, in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to future cash expenditures to cover employee severance and benefits. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced its restructuring charge by $67,000 related to reduced future cash expenditures related to severance and benefits for a former employee. The former employee’s accepting other employment in April 2013 reduced the amount of severance and benefit payouts by the Company. These amounts were paid out under the restructuring plan by June 30, 2013. |

The Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving bank credit facility maturing December 19, 2015. The applicable interest rate on outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.5% based on certain factors included in the credit agreement. At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s interest rate on the $3.5 million outstanding balance was 1.7%. The unused portion of the credit facility is subject to an unused facility fee ranging from .25% to .75% depending on total deposits with the creditor. All borrowings under this facility are secured by marketable securities. The outstanding balance of $3.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was classified as long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 and prior to the Company’s filing of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was repaid. |

NOTE 9. - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY | ||
The Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”) and, under the Plan, declared a non-taxable dividend, paid at the close of business on August 9, 2011 (the “Record Date”), of one common share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock. From the Record Date until the Rights become exercisable, the Rights will be attached to all outstanding shares of Common Stock and, therefore, will be represented by the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock and transferrable only with the shares of Common Stock. A Right will be exercisable, upon certain conditions, to purchase one share of Common Stock from the Company at a price of $39, subject to adjustment. The Rights will become exercisable, and separate from the shares of Common Stock, upon the earlier of: | ||
-1 | ten business days following the date of the first public announcement (the “Stock Acquisition Date”) that a person or a group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (an “Acquiring Person”), or | |
-2 | ten business days (or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine) following the commencement of a tender or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a person or group of persons becoming an Acquiring Person. | |
Upon a Stock Acquisition Date, each holder of a Right (other than an Acquiring Person) will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Right, shares of Common Stock at a 50% discount. Also, if, at any time following a Stock Acquisition Date, the Company is acquired in a merger or business combination and its Common Stock is exchanged or converted, or if 50% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, then each holder of a Right (other than an Acquiring Person) will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Right, shares of the acquirer’s common stock at a 50% discount. Further, at any time after a person or group of persons becomes an Acquiring Person, but before any person or group of persons becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company may cause each exercisable Right to be exchanged for one share of Common Stock.

NOTE 11. - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU addresses the diversity in practice regarding financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of it, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent the deferred tax asset is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with the deferred tax asset. The amendments to this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as it is consistent with the Company’s present practice. |
