Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (In thousands, except per share amounts) Description of our Company ITEX Corporation (“ITEX”, “Company”, “we” or “us”) was incorporated in October 1985 in the State of Nevada. Through our independent licensed broker and franchise network (individually, “broker,” and together the “Broker Network”) in the United States and Canada, we operate a “Marketplace” in which products and services are exchanged by Marketplace members utilizing “ITEX dollars”. ITEX dollars are only usable in the Marketplace and allows thousands of member businesses (our “members”) to acquire products and services without exchanging cash. We administer the Marketplace and provide record-keeping and payment transaction processing services for our members. We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 19, 2016. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ITEX Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary BXI Exchange, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We prepare our financial statements using both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. As of October 31, 2016, we had no contracts to issue common stock. The Company had 114 Three-months Ended 2016 2015 Net income available for shareholders $ 136 $ 155 Weighted avg. outstanding shares of common stock 1,954 1,896 Dilutive effect of restricted shares 11 13 Common stock and equivalents 1,965 1,909 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.07 $ 0.08 Diluted $ 0.07 $ 0.08 In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09) In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creates Topic 842, “ Leases Leases In March 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for stock-based compensation, with Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09) In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) |
