Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of Biomerica, Inc. ("Biomerica") as well as its German subsidiary and Mexican subsidiary. The Mexican subsidiary has not begun operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair market value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis. The Company's financial instruments consist of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair values. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains cash balances at certain financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers throughout the United States and foreign markets. For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had one distributor which accounted for 16.3% and 23.4%, respectively, of consolidated sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and requires prepayment in some circumstances. At May 31, 2015, two customers accounted for 53.0% of gross accounts receivable. At May 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 60.5% of gross accounts receivable. For the year ended May 31, 2015, one company accounted for 13.6% of the purchases of raw materials. For the year ended May 31, 2014, two companies accounted for 30.2% of the purchases of raw materials. GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately $530,000 and $443,000 of Biomerica's gross inventory and approximately $35,000 and $43,000, of Biomerica's property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was located in Mexicali, Mexico, respectively. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market accounts with original maturities of less than three months. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers on a regular basis. International accounts are required to prepay until they establish a history with the Company and at that time, they are extended credit at levels based on a number of criteria. Credit levels are approved by designated upper level management. Domestic customers are extended initial $500 credit limits until they establish a history with the Company or submit credit information. All increases in credit limits are also approved by designated upper level management. Management evaluates receivables on a quarterly basis and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. Balances over ninety days old are usually reserved for. Occasionally certain long-standing customers, who routinely place large orders, will have unusually large receivables balances relative to the total gross receivables. Management monitors the payments for these large balances closely and very often requires payment of existing invoices before shipping new sales orders. INVENTORIES The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using a combination of specific lot identification and the first-in, first-out methods) or market. Management periodically reviews inventory for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand, physical condition, and technical functionality as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products and new product introductions. The reserve is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs and wasted material are recognized as current period charges and the allocation of fixed production overhead is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Inventories approximate the following at May 31: 2015 2014 Raw materials $ 958,000 $ 899,000 Work in progress 831,000 635,000 Finished products 238,000 232,000 Total $ 2,027,000 $ 1,766,000 Reserves for inventory obsolescence are recorded as necessary to reduce obsolete inventory to estimated net realizable value or to specifically reserve for obsolete inventory that the Company intends to dispose of. For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 inventory reserves were approximately $25,000 and $43,000, respectively. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses from retirements and dispositions are credited or charged to income. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 5 to 10 years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment and leasehold improvements amounted to $178,219 and $177,518 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets include trademarks, product rights, technology rights and patents, and are accounted for based on Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 350 “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ” (ASC 350). In that regard, intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life, not to exceed 18 years for marketing and distribution rights and purchased technology use rights, and 17 years for patents. Amortization amounted to $75,056 and $29,515 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Intangible assets with indefinite lives such as perpetual licenses are not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the asset's balance over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. In July 2012, the FASB issued another update to ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment . This update simplifies the guidance for testing impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. During fiscal 2013, the Company adopted the updated guidance in ASC 350 and used the qualitative assessment to determine whether there was any impairment. No impairment adjustment was required as of May 31, 2015. INVESTMENTS From time-to-time, the Company makes investments in privately-held companies. The Company determines whether the fair values of any investments in privately-held entities have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, and the overall health of the investee’s industry), a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded. The Company currently has not written down the investment and no events have occurred which could indicate the carrying value to be less than the fair value. Investments represent the Company’s investment in a Polish distributor which is primarily engaged in distributing medical devices. The Company owns approximately 6% of the investee, and accordingly, applies the cost method to account for the investment. Under the cost method, investments are recorded at cost, with gains and losses recognized as of the sale date, and income recorded when received. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company follows the guidance of the accounting provisions of ASC 718 “ Share-based Compensation ” (ASC 718), which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants and options). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected forfeiture rate, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeitures experienced. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. In applying the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, assumptions are as follows: 2015 2014 Dividend yield 0% 0% Expected volatility 49.53-62.68% 48.65-49.85% Risk free interest rate 1.26-1.67% 0.84-1.155% Expected life 3.75-6.0 years 3.50 years REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped, customarily FOB shipping point, at which point title passes. An allowance is established when necessary for estimated returns as revenue is recognized. As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for returns is $0. SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are required to be classified as net sales, and shipping and handling costs are required to be classified as either cost of sales or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company included shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. The Company included shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and unreimbursed shipping to customers in cost of sales. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company expensed $733,640 and $589,866 of research and development expenses during the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “ Income Taxes ” (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. These temporary differences are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent that management considers it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, the Company considers factors such as the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and the character of income tax assets and tax planning strategies. A change to these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax provisions by using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be realized. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not capable of being sustained. On subsequent recognition and measurement the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent the Company’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, although the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Upon adopting the revisions in ASC 740, the Company elected to follow an accounting policy to classify accrued interest related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Interest expense” line and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Other expense” line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. ADVERTISING COSTS The Company reports the cost of all advertising as expense in the period in which those costs are incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $6,000 and $8,000 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The subsidiary located in Germany operates primarily using local functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The resulting adjustments are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. DEFERRED RENT Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as deferred lease incentives and are amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense. When the terms of an operating lease provide for periods of free rent, rent concessions, and/or rent escalations, the Company establishes a deferred rent liability for the difference between the scheduled rent payment and the straight-line rent expense recognized. This deferred rent liability is amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities using the treasury stock method. The total amount of anti-dilutive options not included in the loss per share calculation for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 were 1,148,000 and 860,500 respectively. The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations: For the Years Ended May 31 2015 2014 Numerator for basic and diluted net loss per common share $ (331,410) $ (215,660) Denominator for basic net loss per common share 7,552,262 7,370,787 Effect of dilutive securities: Options -- -- Denominator for diluted net loss per common share 7,552,262 7,370,787 Basic net loss per common share $ (0.04) $ (0.03) Diluted net loss per common share $ (0.04) $ (0.03) SEGMENT REPORTING ASC 280, “ Segment Reporting ” (ASC 280), establishes standards for reporting, by public business enterprises, information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company’s operations are analyzed by management and its chief operating decision maker as being part of a single industry segment: the design, development, marketing and sales of diagnostic kits. REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Comprehensive loss represents net loss and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss and recognized directly as a component of shareholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”) which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, which corresponded to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2014. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2015. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 clarifies that when a parent reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2015. Early adoption is permitted; however, if an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2013-05, it should be applied as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting, ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. During August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the above mentioned revenue recognition guidance by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 more closely align the measurement of inventory in US GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Other recent ASU's issued by the FASB and guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements. |

DEBT During March 2014, the Company entered into a Small Business Banking Agreement with Union Bank for a one year business line of credit (the "Line") in the amount of $250,000. The interest rate for the line of credit was the prime rate in effect on the first day of the billing period, as published in the Wall Street Journal Prime West Coast Edition, plus a spread of 2.00%. Minimum monthly payments are the sum of (i) the amount of interest charge for the billing period, plus (ii) any amount past due, plus (iii) any fees, late charges and/or out-of-pocket expenses assessed. If the Line is not renewed as of the last day of the term of the Line, the entire unpaid balance of the Line, including unpaid fees and charges will be due and payable. The Company granted the bank security interest in the assets of the Company as collateral. The Line expired March 12, 2015 and was not renewed. The Company is investigating other sources of operating capital to support its research activities. |

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 was a decrease of $0. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,445,000 and $1,035,000 respectively. Of the reported net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $211,000 are related to windfall tax benefits from the exercise of the Company’s stock options by certain employees. Pursuant to ASC 718, the federal benefit of approximately $74,000 associated with this portion of the net operating loss will be credited to additional paid-in capital when the tax benefits are actually realized. The federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2030. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has California state income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $913,000 and $642,000, respectively. At May 31, 2015, the Company has federal research and development tax credit carryforward of approximately $212,000. The federal credits begin to expire in 2027. The Company also had similar credit carryforwards for state purposes of $27,000 at May 31, 2015. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, annual use of the Company's net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carryforwards may be limited by statute because of a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50%. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, the annual use of the Company's NOLs would be limited if there is a cumulative change of ownership (as that term is defined in Section 382(g) of the Code) of greater than 50% in a three year period. Based on management's analysis the Company does not believe that a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% has taken place. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did an analysis of its ASC 740 position and has not identified any uncertain tax positions as defined under ASC 740. Should such position be identified in the future and should the Company owe interest and penalties as a result of this, these would be recognized as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2011. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES OPERATING LEASES On June 18, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement to lease a building in Irvine, California. The lease commenced September 1, 2009 and ends August 31, 2016. The Company has an option to extend the term of its lease for two additional sixty month periods. The initial base rent was set at $18,490 per month increasing to $22,080 through August 31, 2016, with a security deposit of $22,080. The following is a schedule of rent payments due under the terms of the lease: Years Ending May 31, 2016 $ 263,031 2017 66,240 Total $ 329,271 According to the terms of the lease, the Company is also responsible for routine repairs of the building and for certain increases in property tax. Total gross rent expense in the U.S. for fiscal 2015 and 2014 was $236,154 and $234,960, respectively. Rent expense for the Mexico facility for fiscal 2015 and 2014 was $36,000 and $33,385 respectively. The Company also has various insignificant leases for office equipment. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Effective September 1, 1986, the Company established a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its employees. The plan permits eligible employees to contribute to the plan up to the maximum percentage of total annual compensation allowable under the limits of Internal Revenue Code Sections 415, 401(k) and 404. The Company, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, may make contributions to the plan in amounts determined by the Board each year. No contributions by the Company have been made since the plan's inception. LITIGATION The Company is, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot presently be determined because of considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible the outcome of such legal proceedings, claims and litigation could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in a future period. However, based on facts currently available, management believes such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There were no legal proceedings pending as of May 31, 2015. CONTRACTS On March 27, 2009, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with a European company for the purchase of certain technology related to the manufacture of certain medical diagnostic tests. Consideration for this purchase was a nominal deposit upon signing the agreement and a nominal transfer fee upon successful commencement of production of the products. A royalty shall be paid for five years beginning on the date of first sale of finished product derived from the purchased assets. Royalty payments of 10% of sales are due on these products for a period of five years. Royalty expense for this license was approximately $1,400 and $600 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In October 2009, the Company entered into a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and transferable cross-license agreement to acquire technology and intellectual property from and make available its technology and intellectual property related to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay products to be marketed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company has paid $25,000 for the license for each of six products, with a similar amount to be paid for each of two additional products as they are transferred. The Company will be amortizing the costs for these licenses over a ten year period. As part of this agreement, the Company must pay royalties on future sales of these products between 4% and 8% and is eligible to receive royalties from certain of its products licensed in the same percentages. The Company accrues this royalty when it becomes payable. The Company had incurred approximately $15,000 in amortization of licensing fees during each fiscal year 2015 and 2014. In May 2010, the Company acquired from an inventor the exclusive, perpetual license to a United States patent applicable to the measurement of thiopurine methyltransferase within patients prior to commencing treatment with thiopurine drugs. The product is currently being redeveloped by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products contemplated by the patents subject to the payment of $25,000 as reimbursement to the patent holder for legal and other costs associated with obtaining the patent, which was paid in June 2010. The Company is amortizing the initial cost of $25,000 for this license over a ten year period. As of May 31, 2015, the Company had amortized $12,500 of the license. As part of this agreement, the Company must pay royalties on future sales of these products between 4% and 8% through September 30, 2022. The agreement also has minimum escalating royalty payments which must be made for the Company to keep its exclusivity for the license. The Company accrues this royalty when it becomes payable. A credit to royalty expense in the amount of $8,300 was recorded in fiscal 2014 due to over accrual of such royalty. Royalty in the amount of $1,200 was recorded for the year ended May 31, 2015. On October 19, 2010, the Company signed an agreement with a university to acquire the rights to manufacture and market certain products using two patents owned by the university. The Company paid a license issue fee of $15,000 initially and will pay royalties on net sales quarterly. The Company has amortized the entire licensing fee as of May 31, 2013. Royalty expense for this license was approximately $4,500 and $6,900 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company has two royalty agreements in which it has obtained rights to manufacture and market certain products for the life of the products. Royalty expense of approximately $21,000 is included in cost of sales for these agreements for each of the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014. Beginning in fiscal 2011 the Company is only required to pay royalties for one of the products due to the fact that the company that was paid the royalties no longer provides materials to make that product, which was part of the original agreement. Sales of products manufactured under these agreements comprise approximately 3.2% and 3.0% of total sales for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company may license other products or technology in the future as it deems necessary for conducting business. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of Biomerica, Inc. ("Biomerica") as well as its German subsidiary and Mexican subsidiary. The Mexican subsidiary has not begun operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair market value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis. The Company's financial instruments consist of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair values. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains cash balances at certain financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers throughout the United States and foreign markets. For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had one distributor which accounted for 16.3% and 23.4%, respectively, of consolidated sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and requires prepayment in some circumstances. At May 31, 2015, two customers accounted for 53.0% of gross accounts receivable. At May 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 60.5% of gross accounts receivable. For the year ended May 31, 2015, one company accounted for 13.6% of the purchases of raw materials. For the year ended May 31, 2014, two companies accounted for 30.2% of the purchases of raw materials. |
Concentration Risk Geographic Policy [Policy Text Block] | GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately $530,000 and $443,000 of Biomerica's gross inventory and approximately $35,000 and $43,000, of Biomerica's property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was located in Mexicali, Mexico, respectively. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market accounts with original maturities of less than three months. |
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers on a regular basis. International accounts are required to prepay until they establish a history with the Company and at that time, they are extended credit at levels based on a number of criteria. Credit levels are approved by designated upper level management. Domestic customers are extended initial $500 credit limits until they establish a history with the Company or submit credit information. All increases in credit limits are also approved by designated upper level management. Management evaluates receivables on a quarterly basis and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. Balances over ninety days old are usually reserved for. Occasionally certain long-standing customers, who routinely place large orders, will have unusually large receivables balances relative to the total gross receivables. Management monitors the payments for these large balances closely and very often requires payment of existing invoices before shipping new sales orders. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | INVENTORIES The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using a combination of specific lot identification and the first-in, first-out methods) or market. Management periodically reviews inventory for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand, physical condition, and technical functionality as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products and new product introductions. The reserve is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs and wasted material are recognized as current period charges and the allocation of fixed production overhead is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Inventories approximate the following at May 31: 2015 2014 Raw materials $ 958,000 $ 899,000 Work in progress 831,000 635,000 Finished products 238,000 232,000 Total $ 2,027,000 $ 1,766,000 Reserves for inventory obsolescence are recorded as necessary to reduce obsolete inventory to estimated net realizable value or to specifically reserve for obsolete inventory that the Company intends to dispose of. For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 inventory reserves were approximately $25,000 and $43,000, respectively. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses from retirements and dispositions are credited or charged to income. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 5 to 10 years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment and leasehold improvements amounted to $178,219 and $177,518 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] | INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets include trademarks, product rights, technology rights and patents, and are accounted for based on Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 350 “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ” (ASC 350). In that regard, intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life, not to exceed 18 years for marketing and distribution rights and purchased technology use rights, and 17 years for patents. Amortization amounted to $75,056 and $29,515 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Intangible assets with indefinite lives such as perpetual licenses are not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the asset's balance over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. In July 2012, the FASB issued another update to ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment . This update simplifies the guidance for testing impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. During fiscal 2013, the Company adopted the updated guidance in ASC 350 and used the qualitative assessment to determine whether there was any impairment. No impairment adjustment was required as of May 31, 2015. |
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | INVESTMENTS From time-to-time, the Company makes investments in privately-held companies. The Company determines whether the fair values of any investments in privately-held entities have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, and the overall health of the investee’s industry), a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded. The Company currently has not written down the investment and no events have occurred which could indicate the carrying value to be less than the fair value. Investments represent the Company’s investment in a Polish distributor which is primarily engaged in distributing medical devices. The Company owns approximately 6% of the investee, and accordingly, applies the cost method to account for the investment. Under the cost method, investments are recorded at cost, with gains and losses recognized as of the sale date, and income recorded when received. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company follows the guidance of the accounting provisions of ASC 718 “ Share-based Compensation ” (ASC 718), which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants and options). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected forfeiture rate, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeitures experienced. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. In applying the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, assumptions are as follows: 2015 2014 Dividend yield 0% 0% Expected volatility 49.53-62.68% 48.65-49.85% Risk free interest rate 1.26-1.67% 0.84-1.155% Expected life 3.75-6.0 years 3.50 years |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped, customarily FOB shipping point, at which point title passes. An allowance is established when necessary for estimated returns as revenue is recognized. As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for returns is $0. |
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block] | SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are required to be classified as net sales, and shipping and handling costs are required to be classified as either cost of sales or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company included shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. The Company included shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and unreimbursed shipping to customers in cost of sales. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company expensed $733,640 and $589,866 of research and development expenses during the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “ Income Taxes ” (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. These temporary differences are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent that management considers it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, the Company considers factors such as the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and the character of income tax assets and tax planning strategies. A change to these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax provisions by using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be realized. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not capable of being sustained. On subsequent recognition and measurement the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent the Company’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, although the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Upon adopting the revisions in ASC 740, the Company elected to follow an accounting policy to classify accrued interest related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Interest expense” line and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Other expense” line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ADVERTISING COSTS The Company reports the cost of all advertising as expense in the period in which those costs are incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $6,000 and $8,000 for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The subsidiary located in Germany operates primarily using local functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The resulting adjustments are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. |
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block] | DEFERRED RENT Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as deferred lease incentives and are amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense. When the terms of an operating lease provide for periods of free rent, rent concessions, and/or rent escalations, the Company establishes a deferred rent liability for the difference between the scheduled rent payment and the straight-line rent expense recognized. This deferred rent liability is amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities using the treasury stock method. The total amount of anti-dilutive options not included in the loss per share calculation for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 were 1,148,000 and 860,500 respectively. The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations: For the Years Ended May 31 2015 2014 Numerator for basic and diluted net loss per common share $ (331,410) $ (215,660) Denominator for basic net loss per common share 7,552,262 7,370,787 Effect of dilutive securities: Options -- -- Denominator for diluted net loss per common share 7,552,262 7,370,787 Basic net loss per common share $ (0.04) $ (0.03) Diluted net loss per common share $ (0.04) $ (0.03) |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | SEGMENT REPORTING ASC 280, “ Segment Reporting ” (ASC 280), establishes standards for reporting, by public business enterprises, information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company’s operations are analyzed by management and its chief operating decision maker as being part of a single industry segment: the design, development, marketing and sales of diagnostic kits. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Comprehensive loss represents net loss and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss and recognized directly as a component of shareholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”) which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, which corresponded to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2014. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2015. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 clarifies that when a parent reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2015. Early adoption is permitted; however, if an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2013-05, it should be applied as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting, ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. During August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the above mentioned revenue recognition guidance by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 more closely align the measurement of inventory in US GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Other recent ASU's issued by the FASB and guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements. |
