Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Presentation We have prepared the accompanying audited financial statements reflecting all adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary in order to ensure that the financial statements are not misleading. We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share and cash flows. References to GAAP in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (b) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments We consider all highly liquid investment instruments that mature within three months of their purchase dates to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are principally invested in securities backed by the U.S. government. Certain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits of $250,000 per financial institution per depositor are maintained in money market accounts at financial institutions that are secured, in part, by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Amounts in excess of these FDIC limits per bank that are not invested in securities backed by the U.S. government aggregated $5,792,993 and $2,268,737 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Short-term investments are classified as held to maturity and are comprised of certificates of deposit that mature in more than three months from their purchase dates and not more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Short-term investments are held at different financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC, within the FDIC limits per financial institution. We account for investments in marketable securities in accordance with Codification Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (c) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful collection. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a monthly basis by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if a portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Past due accounts receivable are subject to an interest charge. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. The amount of accounts receivable written off during all periods reported was immaterial. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary. See Note 4. (d) Inventory Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and is recorded at the lower of cost, on the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value (determined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation). Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. Inventories that we consider excess or obsolete are reserved. Once inventory is written down and a new cost basis is established, it is not written back up if demand increases. We believe that supplies and raw materials for the production of our products are available from more than one vendor or farm. Our policy is to maintain more than one source of supply for the components used in our products when practicable. See Note 5. (e) Property, Plant and Equipment We depreciate property, plant and equipment on the straight-line method by charges to operations and costs of goods sold in amounts estimated to expense the cost of the assets from the date they are first put into service to the end of the estimated useful lives of the assets. The facility we have constructed to produce the Nisin Drug Substance for Re-Tain ™ (f) Intangible Assets and Goodwill We amortize intangible assets on the straight-line method by charges to costs of goods sold in amounts estimated to expense the cost of the assets from the date they are first put into service to the end of the estimated useful lives of the assets. We have recorded intangible assets related to customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and developed technology, each with defined useful lives. We have classified as goodwill the amounts paid in excess of fair value of the net assets (including tax attributes) acquired in purchase transactions. We assess the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill that have indefinite lives at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (as of December 31 st (g) Fair Value Measurements In determining fair value measurements, we follow the provisions of Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 — Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Level 2 — Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. From time to time, we also hold money market mutual funds in a brokerage account, which are classified as cash equivalents and measured at fair value. The fair value of these investments is based on their closing published net asset value. We assess the levels of the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with our accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between levels. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our Level 1 assets measured at fair value by quoted prices in active markets consisted of bank savings accounts and money market funds. As of December 31, 2019 our bank certificates of deposit were classified as Level 2 and were measured by significant other observable inputs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our interest rate swaps were classified as Level 2 and were measured by observable market data in combination with expected cash flows for each instrument. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. As of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and money market accounts $ 6,293,293 $ — $ — $ 6,293,293 Bank certificates of deposit — 2,480,753 — 2,480,753 Liabilities: Interest rate swaps — (58,526 ) — (58,526 ) Total, net $ 6,293,293 $ 2,422,227 $ — $ 8,715,520 As of December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and money market accounts $ 2,521,050 $ — $ — $ 2,521,050 Interest rate swaps — 40,209 — 40,209 Total $ 2,521,050 $ 40,209 $ — $ 2,561,259 (h) Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets, consisting principally of fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets, for potential impairment. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the treatment of long-lived assets, we review the carrying value of our long-lived assets or asset group that is held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Under the held for use approach, the asset or asset group to be tested for impairment should represent the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. (i) Concentration of Risk Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is principally limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, as a consequence, believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses when deemed necessary, but historically we have not experienced significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. Sales to significant customers that amounted to 10% or more of total product sales are detailed in the following table: During the Years Ended 2019 2018 Company A 42 % 43 % Company B 27 % 23 % Trade accounts receivable due from significant customers amounted to the percentages of total trade accounts receivable as detailed in the following table: As of As of Company B 48 % 36 % Company A 28 % 35 % Company C * 15 % * Amount is less than 10%. (j) Interest Rate Swap Agreements All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. We entered into interest rate swap agreements in 2010 and 2015. On the dates the agreements were entered into, we designated the derivatives as hedges of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to our long-term debt. The agreements have been determined to be highly effective in hedging the variability of identified cash flows, so changes in the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). We formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap agreements and the related hedged items. We also formally assess, both at the interest rate swap agreements' inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the agreements are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. See Note 11. (k) Revenue Recognition For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (l) Expense Recognition In 2018, we adopted ASC 340-40, Accounting for Other Assets and Deferred Costs (m) Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes During the second quarter of 2018, we assessed our historical and near-term future profitability and decided to record $563,252 in non-cash income tax expense to create a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets (which consist largely of net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state tax credits). At that time, we had incurred a net loss for six consecutive quarters, had not been profitable on a year-to-date basis since the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and projected additional net losses for some period going forward before returning to profitability. Codification Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, we are subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. We have evaluated the positions taken on our filed tax returns. We have concluded that no uncertain tax positions exist as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. See Note 17. (n) Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (o) Net Loss Per Common Share Net loss per common share has been computed in accordance with Codification Topic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. (p) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although we regularly assess these estimates, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded during the period in which they become known. Significant estimates include our inventory valuation, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, accrued expenses, costs of goods sold, and useful lives of intangible assets.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
BANK DEBT | 11. BANK DEBT We have in place five credit facilities and a line of credit with TD Bank N.A. These five credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets and are subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants. Proceeds from a $1,000,000 first mortgage on our corporate headquarters and production and research facility at 56 Evergreen Drive in Portland (Loan #1) were received during the third quarter of 2010 with monthly principal and interest payments due for ten years, calculated based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule. A balloon principal payment of $451,885 will be due during the third quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2019, $493,696 was outstanding under Loan #1. Proceeds from a $2,500,000 second mortgage on this corporate headquarters (Loan #2) were received during the third quarter of 2015 with monthly principal and interest payments due for ten years, calculated based on a twenty-year amortization schedule. A balloon principal payment of approximately $1,550,000 will be due during the third quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2019, $2,143,771 was outstanding under Loan #2. We hedged our interest rate exposures on Loan #1 and Loan #2 with interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted floating interest rates based on the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% and 2.25% to fixed rates of 6.04% and 4.38%, respectively. As of the debt principal repayment date immediately preceding December 31, 2019, the variable rates on these two mortgage notes were 4.99% and 4.04%, respectively. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. At the time of the closings and thereafter, the agreements were determined to be highly effective in hedging the variability of the identified cash flows and have been designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the hedged interest payments. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The original notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements of $1,000,000 and $2,500,000 amortize in accordance with the amortization of the mortgage notes. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps was $2,637,467 as of December 31, 2019. The fair values of the interest rate swaps have been determined using observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy provided in Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures During the Year 2019 2018 (Receipts) payments required by interest rate swaps $ (675 ) $ 9,581 Other comprehensive (loss) income, net of taxes $ (74,052 ) $ 30,795 During the first quarter of 2016, we entered into two additional credit facilities (Loans #3 and #4) aggregating up to approximately $4,500,000. As a result of loan amendments entered into during the first quarter of 2017, these two credit facilities were increased to up to $6,500,000. Loan #3 is a construction loan of $3,940,000. As amended, interest only was payable at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR (adjusted at each monthly payment date) plus a margin of 2.25% through September 2018, at which time the loan converted to a seven-year term loan facility at the same variable interest rate (which was equal to 3.96% as of December 31, 2019) with monthly principal and interest payments due based on a seven-year amortization schedule. As of December 31, 2019, $3,236,429 was outstanding under Loan #3. Loan #4 is a construction loan of $2,560,000. As amended, interest only was payable at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR (adjusted at each monthly payment date) plus a margin of 2.25% through March 2018, at which time the loan converted to a term loan facility at the same variable interest rate (which was equal to 3.96% as of December 31, 2019) with monthly principal and interest payments due for ten years, calculated based on a twenty-year amortization schedule. A balloon principal payment of approximately $1,408,000 will be due during the first quarter of 2027. As of December 31, 2019, $2,336,000 was outstanding under Loan #4. Proceeds from a $340,000 first mortgage on our 4,114 square foot warehouse and cold storage facility near our Re-Tain™ In connection with Loan #1 and Loan #2, we incurred debt issue costs of $26,489 and $34,125, respectively. In connection with Loan #3, Loan #4 and Loan #5, we incurred total debt issue costs of $114,806. The 2017 amendments to Loan #3 and Loan #4 were accounted for as modifications. The amortization of debt issue costs is being recorded as a component of interest expense, included with other expenses, net, and is being amortized over the underlying terms of the respective credit facilities. Debt proceeds received and principal repayments made during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are reflected in the following table by year and by loan: During the Year During the Year Proceeds Debt Proceeds Debt Loan #1 $ — $ (68,908 ) $ — $ (64,876 ) Loan #2 — (89,997 ) — (86,097 ) Loan #3 — (562,857 ) 426,499 (140,714 ) Loan #4 — (128,000 ) 267,141 (96,000 ) Loan #5 — (11,585 ) — (10,621 ) Total $ — $ (861,347 ) $ 693,640 $ (398,308 ) Principal payments (net of debt issue costs) due under bank loans outstanding as of December 31, 2019 (excluding our $500,000 line of credit) are reflected in the following table by the year that payments are due: During the Years Ended December 31, After December 31, Total 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2024 Loan #1 $ 493,696 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 493,696 Loan #2 94,005 98,538 103,077 107,769 112,623 1,627,759 2,143,771 Loan #3 (1) 562,857 562,857 562,857 562,857 562,857 422,144 3,236,429 Loan #4 (1) 128,000 128,000 128,000 128,000 128,000 1,696,000 2,336,000 Loan #5 (2) 12,575 13,088 13,623 14,180 14,760 240,956 309,182 Subtotal $ 1,291,133 $ 802,483 $ 807,557 $ 812,806 $ 818,240 $ 3,986,859 8,519,078 Debt Issuance Costs (97,612 ) Total $ 8,421,466 (1) These notes bear interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%.

During the third quarter of 2010, we entered into a $500,000 line of credit with TD Bank N.A., which is secured by substantially all of our assets and is subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants. This line of credit has been renewed approximately annually since then, is available as needed and has been extended through May 31, 2020. There was no outstanding balance under this line of credit as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, $500,000 was outstanding under this line of credit, which was repaid during the first quarter of 2019. Interest on borrowings against the line of credit is variable at the higher of 4.25% per annum or the one-month LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS | 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS Our bylaws, as amended, in effect provide that the Company will indemnify its officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we make similar indemnity undertakings to each director through a separate indemnification agreement with that director. The maximum payment that we may be required to make under such provisions is theoretically unlimited and is impossible to determine. We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance, which may provide reimbursement to the Company for payments made to, or on behalf of, officers and directors pursuant to the indemnification provisions. Our indemnification obligations were grandfathered under the provisions of Codification Topic 460 , Guarantees The development, manufacturing and marketing of animal health care products entails an inherent risk that liability claims will be asserted against us during the normal course of business. We are aware of no such claims against us as of the date of this filing. We feel that we have reasonable levels of liability insurance to support our operations. We enter into agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business under which we are obligated to indemnify such third parties from and against various risks and losses. The precise terms of such indemnities vary with the nature of the agreement. In many cases, we limit the maximum amount of our indemnification obligations, but in some cases those obligations may be theoretically unlimited. We have not incurred material expenses in discharging any of these indemnification obligations, and based on our analysis of the nature of the risks involved, we believe that the fair value of the liabilities potentially arising under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have recorded no liabilities for such obligations as of December 31, 2019. We are committed to purchasing certain key parts (syringes) and services (final formulation, aseptic filling and final packaging of Drug Product) pertaining to Re-Tain™ During the second quarter of 2009, we entered into an exclusive and perpetual (unless terminated for cause) license with the Baylor College of Medicine covering the underlying rotavirus vaccine technology used to generate the specific antibodies for our product line extension, Tri-Shield First Defense ® First Defense ® On September 12, 2019, we entered into a lease covering approximately 14,300 square feet of office and warehouse space with a Possession Date of November 15, 2019 and a Commencement Date of February 13, 2020. We are renovating this space to meet our needs in expanding our production capacity for the First Defense ® During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a Severance Agreement with our President and CEO. Under the terms of this agreement, we agreed to pay this executive (or his estate) nine months of his then current salary plus any accrued and unused paid time off in the event of the involuntary termination of his employment by the Company (except for cause) or in the event of termination by him for good reason. In addition to the commitments discussed above, we had committed $2,318,000 to increase our production capacity for the First Defense ® Re-Tain ™ |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On October 28, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-207635) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the potential issuance of up to $10,000,000 in equity securities (subject to certain limitations). This registration statement became effective on November 10, 2015. Under this form of registration statement, we were limited within a twelve-month period to raising gross proceeds of no more than one-third of the market capitalization of our common stock (as determined by the high price of our common stock within the preceding 60 days leading up to a sale of securities) held by non-affiliates (non-insiders) of the Company. Having raised $10,000,000 in gross proceeds under the February 2016, July 2017 and December 2017 equity transactions described below, no additional equity securities can be issued under this registration statement. On February 3, 2016, we sold 1,123,810 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.25 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, raising gross proceeds of approximately $5,900,000 and resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,313,000 (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses incurred in connection with the equity financing). On October 21, 2016, we closed on a private placement of 659,880 shares of common stock to nineteen institutional and accredited investors at $5.25 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $3,464,000 and resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,161,000 (after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the equity financing). On July 27, 2017, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.25 per share in a public, registered sale to two related investors pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, raising gross proceeds of $1,050,000 and resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,034,000 (after deducting expenses incurred in connection with the equity financing). On December 21, 2017, we sold 417,807 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $7.30 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, raising gross proceeds of approximately $3,050,000 and resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,734,000 (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses incurred in connection with the equity financing).

This registration statement became effective on November 29, 2018. Under this form of registration statement, we are limited within a twelve-month period to raising gross proceeds of no more than one-third of the market capitalization of our common stock (as determined by the high price of our common stock within the preceding 60 days leading up to a sale of securities) held by non-affiliates (non-insiders) of the Company. On March 29, 2019, we sold 1,636,364 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.50 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, raising gross proceeds of approximately $9,000,000 and resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,303,000 (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses incurred in connection with the equity financing). In June 2000, our stockholders approved the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan") pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, under which employees and certain service providers may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at i) no less than fair market value on the date of grant in the case of incentive stock options and ii) no less than 85% of fair market value on the date of grant in the case of non-qualified stock options. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors on a case by case basis. Originally, 250,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan. The stockholders of the Company approved an increase in this number to 500,000 shares in June 2001. All options granted under the 2000 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The 2000 Plan expired in February 2010, after which date no further options could be granted under the 2000 Plan. As of December 31, 2019, no options were outstanding under the 2000 Plan. In June 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan") pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, under which employees and certain service providers may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. At that time, 300,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan and subsequently no additional shares have been reserved for the 2010 Plan. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors on a case by case basis. All options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The 2010 Plan expires in June 2020, after which date no further options can be granted under the 2010 Plan. However, options outstanding under the 2010 Plan at that time can be exercised in accordance with their terms. In June 2017, our stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, under which employees and certain service providers may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. At that time, 300,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan and subsequently no additional shares have been reserved for the 2017 Plan. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors on a case by case basis. All options granted under the 2017 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The 2017 Plan expires in March 2027, after which date no further options can be granted under the 2017 Plan. However, options outstanding under the 2017 Plan at that time can be exercised in accordance with their terms.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, seven employees exercised stock options covering an aggregate of 107,000 shares, of which 51,500 of these shares were acquired for cash, resulting in total proceeds of $96,240, and 55,500 of these shares were acquired by the surrender of 14,235 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $105,785 at the time of exercise and the payment of $14 in cash. The weighted average remaining life of the options outstanding under the 2010 Plan and the 2017 Plan as of December 31, 2019 was approximately 6 years and 4 months. The weighted average remaining life of the options exercisable under these plans as of December 31, 2019 was approximately 4 years and 10 months. The exercise prices of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2019 ranged from $3.15 to $8.90 per share. The 51,000 stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 had exercise prices between $5.175 and $7.50 per share. The 171,000 stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 had exercise prices between $6.81 and $8.43 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2019 and 2018 approximated $46,091 and $582,590, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair values of options granted during 2019 and 2018 were $2.93 and $3.83 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to non-vested stock options aggregated $386,887, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1 year and 2 months. The fair value of each stock option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, for the purpose discussed in Note 2(n), with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: During the During the Risk-free interest rate 1.9 % 2.6 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected volatility 51 % 56 % Expected life 6 years 5.4 years The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for a maturity approximating the expected option term, while the other assumptions are derived from averages of our historical data. Common Stock Rights Plan In September 1995, our Board of Directors adopted a Common Stock Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan") and declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right") for each of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an initial purchase price of $70.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., as Rights Agent. The Rights (as amended) become exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock upon the earlier of i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group (Acquiring Person) has, without the prior consent of the Continuing Directors (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement), acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or ii) 10 days following commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock (the earlier of such dates being called the Distribution Date). Upon the Distribution Date, the holder of each Right not owned by the Acquiring Person would be entitled to purchase common stock at a discount to the initial purchase price of $70.00 per share, effectively equal to one half of the market price of a share of common stock on the date the Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person. If, after the Distribution Date, the Company should consolidate or merge with any other entity and the Company were not the surviving company, or, if the Company were the surviving company, all or part of the Company's common stock were changed or exchanged into the securities of any other entity, or if more than 50% of the Company's assets or earning power were sold, each Right would entitle its holder to purchase, at the Rights' then-current purchase price, a number of shares of the acquiring company's common stock having a market value at that time equal to twice the Right's exercise price. At any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per Right (subject to adjustment). At any time prior to 14 days following the date that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person (subject to extension by the Board of Directors), the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the then outstanding Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.005 per Right, subject to adjustment. At various times over the years, our Board of Directors has voted to authorize amendments of the Rights Agreement to extend the Final Expiration Date, which is currently September 19, 2022. Our Board of Directors also has voted to authorize amendments to increase the ownership threshold for determining "Acquiring Person" status to 20%. During the second quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors also voted to authorize an amendment to remove a provision that prevented a new group of directors elected following the emergence of an Acquiring Person (an owner of more than 20% of our stock) from controlling the Rights Plan by maintaining exclusive authority over the Rights Plan with pre-existing directors. We did this because such provisions have come to be viewed with disfavor by Delaware courts. Each time that we made such amendments we entered into amendments to the Rights Agreement with the Rights Agent reflecting such extensions, threshold increases or provision changes. No other changes have been made to the terms of the Rights or the Rights Agreement. At the June 14, 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 8,000,000 to 11,000,000. |

INCOME TAXES | 17. INCOME TAXES Our income tax expense aggregated $28,174 and $461,620 (amounting to 2% and 25% of our loss before income taxes, respectively) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $11,949,860 of which $10,237,953 does not expire and $1,711,907 expires in 2034 through 2037 (if not utilized before then) and state net operating loss carryforwards of $3,299,929 that expire in 2037 through 2038 (if not utilized before then). Additionally, we had federal general business tax credit carryforwards of $434,838 that expire in 2027 through 2039 (if not utilized before then) and state tax credit carryforwards of $763,350 that expire in 2023 through 2039 (if not utilized before then). The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between book and tax treatment of assets and liabilities and carryforwards to the extent they are realizable. During the second quarter of 2018, we assessed our historical and near-term future profitability and recorded $563,252 in non-cash income tax expense to create a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets (which consist largely of net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state credits) based on applicable accounting standards and practices. At that time, we had incurred a net loss for six consecutive quarters, had not been profitable on a year-to-date basis since the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and projected additional net losses for some period going forward before returning to profitability. Should future profitability be realized at an adequate level, we would be able to release this valuation allowance (resulting in a non-cash income tax benefit) and realize these deferred tax assets before they expire. We will continue to assess the need for the valuation allowance at each quarter and, in the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance. No subsequent adjustments were recorded. Net operating loss carryforwards, credits, and other tax attributes are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that could place annual limitations on the future utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and credits in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several state jurisdictions. We currently have no tax examinations in progress. We also have not paid additional taxes, interest or penalties as a result of tax examinations nor do we have any unrecognized tax benefits for any of the periods in the accompanying financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS We have evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing on March 27, 2020, the date we have issued this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The global coronavirus pandemic has created a great deal of uncertainty since December 31, 2019. We could experience product shortages, backlogs and production slowdowns due to difficulties accessing needed supplies and labor and other restrictions affecting our ability to consistently deliver our products to market. We were required by a bank debt covenant (before the debt refinancing discussed above) to maintain at least $2 million of otherwise unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Under the new debt, we are required to hold $1.4 million in escrow (a non-current asset), which reduces the effective availability of our liquid assets for operational needs by that amount. |
Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2019 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | (a) Basis of Presentation We have prepared the accompanying audited financial statements reflecting all adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary in order to ensure that the financial statements are not misleading. We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share and cash flows. References to GAAP in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments | (b) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments We consider all highly liquid investment instruments that mature within three months of their purchase dates to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are principally invested in securities backed by the U.S. government. Certain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits of $250,000 per financial institution per depositor are maintained in money market accounts at financial institutions that are secured, in part, by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Amounts in excess of these FDIC limits per bank that are not invested in securities backed by the U.S. government aggregated $5,792,993 and $2,268,737 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Short-term investments are classified as held to maturity and are comprised of certificates of deposit that mature in more than three months from their purchase dates and not more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Short-term investments are held at different financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC, within the FDIC limits per financial institution. We account for investments in marketable securities in accordance with Codification Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities |
Accounts Receivable | (c) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful collection. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a monthly basis by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if a portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Past due accounts receivable are subject to an interest charge. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. The amount of accounts receivable written off during all periods reported was immaterial. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary. See Note 4. |
Inventory | (d) Inventory Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and is recorded at the lower of cost, on the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value (determined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation). Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. Inventories that we consider excess or obsolete are reserved. Once inventory is written down and a new cost basis is established, it is not written back up if demand increases. We believe that supplies and raw materials for the production of our products are available from more than one vendor or farm. Our policy is to maintain more than one source of supply for the components used in our products when practicable. See Note 5. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (e) Property, Plant and Equipment We depreciate property, plant and equipment on the straight-line method by charges to operations and costs of goods sold in amounts estimated to expense the cost of the assets from the date they are first put into service to the end of the estimated useful lives of the assets. The facility we have constructed to produce the Nisin Drug Substance for Re-Tain â„¢ |
Intangible Assets and Goodwill | (f) Intangible Assets and Goodwill We amortize intangible assets on the straight-line method by charges to costs of goods sold in amounts estimated to expense the cost of the assets from the date they are first put into service to the end of the estimated useful lives of the assets. We have recorded intangible assets related to customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and developed technology, each with defined useful lives. We have classified as goodwill the amounts paid in excess of fair value of the net assets (including tax attributes) acquired in purchase transactions. We assess the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill that have indefinite lives at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (as of December 31 st |
Fair Value Measurements | (g) Fair Value Measurements In determining fair value measurements, we follow the provisions of Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 — Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Level 2 — Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. From time to time, we also hold money market mutual funds in a brokerage account, which are classified as cash equivalents and measured at fair value. The fair value of these investments is based on their closing published net asset value. We assess the levels of the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with our accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between levels. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our Level 1 assets measured at fair value by quoted prices in active markets consisted of bank savings accounts and money market funds. As of December 31, 2019 our bank certificates of deposit were classified as Level 2 and were measured by significant other observable inputs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our interest rate swaps were classified as Level 2 and were measured by observable market data in combination with expected cash flows for each instrument. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. As of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and money market accounts $ 6,293,293 $ — $ — $ 6,293,293 Bank certificates of deposit — 2,480,753 — 2,480,753 Liabilities: Interest rate swaps — (58,526 ) — (58,526 ) Total, net $ 6,293,293 $ 2,422,227 $ — $ 8,715,520 As of December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and money market accounts $ 2,521,050 $ — $ — $ 2,521,050 Interest rate swaps — 40,209 — 40,209 Total $ 2,521,050 $ 40,209 $ — $ 2,561,259 |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets | (h) Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets, consisting principally of fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets, for potential impairment. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the treatment of long-lived assets, we review the carrying value of our long-lived assets or asset group that is held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Under the held for use approach, the asset or asset group to be tested for impairment should represent the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. |
Concentration of Risk | (i) Concentration of Risk Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is principally limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, as a consequence, believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses when deemed necessary, but historically we have not experienced significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. Sales to significant customers that amounted to 10% or more of total product sales are detailed in the following table: During the Years Ended 2019 2018 Company A 42 % 43 % Company B 27 % 23 % Trade accounts receivable due from significant customers amounted to the percentages of total trade accounts receivable as detailed in the following table: As of As of Company B 48 % 36 % Company A 28 % 35 % Company C * 15 % * Amount is less than 10%. |
Interest Rate Swap Agreements | (j) Interest Rate Swap Agreements All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. We entered into interest rate swap agreements in 2010 and 2015. On the dates the agreements were entered into, we designated the derivatives as hedges of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to our long-term debt. The agreements have been determined to be highly effective in hedging the variability of identified cash flows, so changes in the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). We formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap agreements and the related hedged items. We also formally assess, both at the interest rate swap agreements' inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the agreements are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. See Note 11. |
Revenue Recognition | (k) Revenue Recognition For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
Expense Recognition | (l) Expense Recognition In 2018, we adopted ASC 340-40, Accounting for Other Assets and Deferred Costs |
Income Taxes | (m) Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes During the second quarter of 2018, we assessed our historical and near-term future profitability and decided to record $563,252 in non-cash income tax expense to create a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets (which consist largely of net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state tax credits). At that time, we had incurred a net loss for six consecutive quarters, had not been profitable on a year-to-date basis since the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and projected additional net losses for some period going forward before returning to profitability. Codification Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, we are subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. We have evaluated the positions taken on our filed tax returns. We have concluded that no uncertain tax positions exist as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. See Note 17. |
Stock-Based Compensation | (n) Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation |
Net Loss Per Common Share | (o) Net Loss Per Common Share Net loss per common share has been computed in accordance with Codification Topic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. |
Use of Estimates | (p) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although we regularly assess these estimates, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded during the period in which they become known. Significant estimates include our inventory valuation, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, accrued expenses, costs of goods sold, and useful lives of intangible assets. |

Debt financing | $ 8,600,000 |
Line of credit | $ 1,000,000 |
Subsequent events, description | The debt is comprised of a $5,100,000 mortgage note that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 10-year term and 25-year amortization schedule) and a $3,500,000 note that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 7-year term and amortization schedule). The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one (1) month LIBOR plus 2.15% per annum. The proceeds were used to repay all bank debt outstanding at the time of closing (see Note 11) and to provide some additional working capital. We were required by a bank debt covenant (before the debt refinancing discussed above) to maintain at least $2 million of otherwise unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Under the new debt, we are required to hold $1.4 million in escrow (a non-current asset), which reduces the effective availability of our liquid assets for operational needs by that amount. |
