Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 02, Leases (ASU No. 2016 - 02 ), which will replace the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The updated standard aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This amendment is effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, but early adoption is permissible. When the standard becomes effective, we expect that our property, plant and equipment will increase due to the addition of assets under lease. Lease liabilities will have a corresponding increase. There is not expected to be a significant impact on the statement of operations or on the Company’s cash flows.
