Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
|
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Inventories |
|
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Product cost includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs and is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its inventory levels, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, the Company records inventory write-downs when necessary. |
|
Sales aids and promotional materials inventories represent distributor kits, product brochures, and other sales and business development materials which are held for sale to distributors. Cost of the sales aids and promotional materials held for sale are capitalized as inventories and subsequently recorded to cost of goods sold upon recognition of revenue when sold to distributors. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred. |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Property, Plant, and Equipment |
|
Property, plant, and equipment are stated on the cost basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line or an accelerated method over the useful life of the related assets. Generally, computer equipment and software are depreciated over 5 years, office equipment and machinery over 7 years, and real property over 39 years. |
|
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains or Losses |
|
All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation adjustment is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. If applicable, foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) as certain of the Company’s investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Transaction gains/(losses) were $(126,188) and $21,139 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company receives payment by credit card, personal check, or guaranteed funds for orders from independent distributors and makes related commission payments in the following month. Generally, net sales reflect product sales less the distributor discount of 20 percent to 40 percent of the suggested retail price. Sales revenue and commission expenses are recorded when the merchandise is shipped, as this is the point title and risk of loss pass to the distributor. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-50, “Revenue Recognition – Customer Payments and Incentives,” the Company presents distributor royalty and commission expense as an operating expense, rather than a reduction to net sales, as these payments are not made to the purchasing distributor. |
|
Actual and estimated sales returns are classified as a reduction of net sales. The Company estimates and accrues a reserve for product returns based on the Company’s return policy and historical experience. The Company’s return policy allows for distributors to return product only upon termination of his or her distributorship. Allowable returns are limited to saleable product which was purchased within twelve months of the termination for a refund of 90% of the original purchase price less any distributor royalties and commission received relating to the original purchase of the returned products. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, total returns as a percent of net sales were approximately 0.57 % and 0.48%, respectively. |
|
The Company records handling and freight income as a component of net sales and records handling and freight costs as a component of cost of products sold. Total revenues do not include sales tax as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting applicable sales taxes. |
|
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share |
|
Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options, outstanding stock warrants, and convertible preferred stock. See Note 8 for additional information regarding earnings per share. |
|
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company has stock-based incentive plans under which it may grant stock option, restricted stock, and unrestricted stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award and the related vesting terms. The fair value of stock-based awards is primarily determined using the Black-Scholes model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected option life, and dividend yield. See Note 7 for additional information. |
|
The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees and warrants granted to distributors under the fair value approach required by FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” |
|
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The provision for income taxes is computed using the liability method. The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income result from financial statement accruals and reserves and differences between depreciation and stock options for book and tax purposes. |
|
Unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 740 which prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement presentation and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. See Note 11 for further discussion. |
|
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair Value Measurements |
|
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. See Note 5 for further discussion. |
|
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Advertising |
|
Costs of sales aids and promotional materials are capitalized as inventories. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred. The Company recorded $191,800 and $44,000 of advertising expense in 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Amortizable Intangible Assets |
|
The Company records intangible assets based on management’s determination of the fair value of the respective assets at the time of acquisition. Determining the fair value of intangible assets is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions of future company operations. The Company bases its fair value estimates and related asset lives on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. |
|
Intangible assets estimated to have finite estimable lives are amortized over their estimated economic life under the straight-line method; such method correlates to management’s estimate of the assets’ economic benefit. Based on management’s estimates at origination, these lives range from two to seventeen years. Related amortization expense is presented within Selling, General, and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2013, remaining lives of intangible assets range from three to seventeen years. |
|
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Research and Development Expenses |
|
Research and development expenses, which are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred, were $565,000 and $587,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company's policy is to consider the following as cash and cash equivalents: demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. |
|
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
