Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Use of estimates |
|
The policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Revenue recognition |
|
Revenue is recognized for all sales, including sales to agents and distributors, at the time products are shipped and title has transferred, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract executed, there are not uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales discounts, returns and allowances are included in net sales, and the provision for doubtful accounts is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Additionally, it is the Company’s practice to include revenues generated from freight billed to customers in net sales with corresponding freight expense included in cost of sales in the Statement of Operations. The Company reports sales taxes on sales transactions on a net basis in the Statement of Operations, and therefore does not include sales taxes in revenues or costs. |
|
The sales price is fixed by Allied’s acceptance of the buyer’s firm purchase order. The sales price is not contingent, or subject to additional discounts. Allied’s standard shipment terms are “F.O.B. shipping point” as stated in Allied’s Terms and Conditions of Sale. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance for and bears the risk of loss for product in-transit. Additionally, sales to customers do not include the right to return merchandise without the prior consent of Allied. In those cases where returns are accepted, product must be current and restocking fees must be paid by the respective customer. A provision has been made for estimated sales returns and allowances. These estimates are based on historical analysis of credit memo data and returns. |
|
Allied does not provide installation services for its products. Most products shipped are ready for immediate use by the customer. The Company’s in-wall medical system components, central station pumps and compressors, and headwalls do require installation by the customer. These products are typically purchased by a third-party contractor who is ultimately responsible for installation services. Accordingly, the customer purchase order or contract does not require customer acceptance of the installation prior to completion of the sale transaction and revenue recognition. Allied’s standard payment terms are net 30 days from the date of shipment, and payment is specifically not subject to customer inspection or acceptance, as stated in Allied’s Terms and Conditions of Sale. The buyer becomes obligated to pay Allied at the time of shipment. Allied requires credit applications from its customers and performs credit reviews to determine the creditworthiness of new customers. Allied requires letters of credit, where warranted, for international transactions. Allied also protects its legal rights under mechanics lien laws when selling to contractors. |
|
Allied does offer limited warranties on its products. The standard warranty period is one year. The Company’s cost of providing warranty service for its products for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $113,209, $150,944, and $152,625, respectively. The related liability for warranty service amounted to $130,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013. |

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Marketing and Advertising Costs |
|
Promotional and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations. Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $17,904, $46,691, and $46,278, respectively. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. |
|
The Company maintains funds in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed the limit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The risk of loss attributable to these uninsured balances is mitigated by depositing funds only in high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Foreign currency transactions |
|
Allied has international sales which are denominated in U.S. dollars, the functional currency for these transactions. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accounts Receivable And Concentrations Of Credit Risk [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Accounts receivable and concentrations of credit risk |
|
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based on past experience and an analysis of current amounts due, and historically such losses have been within management's expectations. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the uncollectibility of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks indentified among uncollected accounts. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that the receivable will not be collected and/or when the account has been referred to a third party collection agency. The Company’s customers can be grouped into three main categories: medical equipment distributors, construction contractors and health care institutions. At June 30, 2014, the Company believes that it has no significant concentration of credit risk. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Inventories |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, or market. If the first-in, first-out method (which approximates replacement cost) had been used in determining cost, inventories would have been $2,473,787 and $2,343,788 higher at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in the LIFO reserve are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales was reduced by $0, $171,918, and $164,645 in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012 respectively, as a result of LIFO liquidations. Costs in inventory include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. |
|
Inventory is recorded net of a reserve for obsolete and excess inventory which is determined based on an analysis of inventory items with no usage in the preceding year and for inventory items for which there is greater than two years’ usage on hand. The reserve for obsolete and excess inventory was $1,433,718 and $1,312,600 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Property, plant and equipment |
|
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 35 years. Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and renewals are charged to income as incurred. Expenditures, which improve an asset or extend its estimated useful life, are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Impairment of long-lived assets |
|
The Company evaluates impairment of long-lived assets under the provisions of ASC Topic 360: “Property, Plant and Equipment.” ASC 360 provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Under ASC 360, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss will be recognized. No impairment losses of long-lived assets or identifiable intangibles were recorded by the Company for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Collective Bargaining Agreement [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Collective Bargaining Agreement |
|
At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 243 full-time employees. Approximately 148 employees in the Company’s principal manufacturing facility located in St. Louis, Missouri, are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that will expire on May 31, 2015. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Self Insurance [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Self-insurance |
|
The Company maintains a self-insurance program for a portion of its health care costs. Self-insurance costs are accrued based upon the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and the estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $150,000 and $200,000 respectively, of accrued liabilities related to health care claims. In order to establish the self-insurance reserves, the Company utilized actuarial estimates of expected claims based on analyses of historical data. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair value of financial instruments |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Income taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740: “Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, the deferred tax provision is determined using the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance the Company first considers the reversals of existing temporary deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies. To the extent these items are not sufficient to cause the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the availability of future taxable income to the extent such income is considered likely to occur based on the Company’s earnings history, current income trends and projections. |
|
In light of its history of operating losses the Company does not rely on the existence of future taxable income as it currently cannot conclude future taxable income is likely to occur. The Company does rely on reversals of existing temporary deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies to the extent available to support the value of its existing deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s deferred tax assets exceeded the amount supportable through reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies causing for a valuation allowance to be recorded against the excess deferred tax assets. |
|
The Company recognizes tax liabilities when, despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are supportable, the Company believes that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Benefits from tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. To the extent the Company deems it necessary to record a liability for its tax positions, the current portion of the liability is included in income taxes payable and the noncurrent portion is included in other liabilities in balance sheet. If upon the final tax outcome of these matters the ultimate liability is different than the amounts recorded, such differences are reflected in income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. The Company files a federal and multiple state income tax returns. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open for fiscal years ending after June 30, 2011. |
|
The Company classifies interest expenses on taxes payable as interest expense. Penalties are classified as a component of other expenses. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Research and development costs |
|
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $657,356, $937,598, and $948,213, respectively. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Earnings per share |
|
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are based on the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was 8,027,147, 8,070,645 and 8,124,386 shares, respectively. The dilutive effect of the Company's employee and director stock option plans are determined by use of the treasury stock method. Potential common shares not included in the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive, are 0, 0 and 3,806 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively. |

Compensation Related Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Employee stock-based compensation |
|
The company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718: “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of the stock options and other equity-based compensation. |
|
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. |
|
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the full impact this ASU will have on our future financial statements. |
