| Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Company RMG Networks Holding Corporation (“RMG Networks” or the “Company”) is a holding company which owns 100% of the capital stock of RMG Networks Holding, Inc. (formerly Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc.) and its subsidiaries and RMG Enterprise Solutions Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (formerly Symon Holdings Corporation). RMG Networks (formerly SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.) was incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets (“Initial Business Combination”). The Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income, other than interest on the Trust Account assets (the “Trust Account”). Until its initial acquisition, the Company was considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 915, or FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities,” and was subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. All activity through April 8, 2013 was related to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”) and identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination. The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective April 8, 2011. The Company consummated the Offering on April 18, 2011 and received gross proceeds of approximately $80,000,000, before deducting underwriting compensation of $4,000,000 (which included $2,000,000 of deferred contingent underwriting compensation payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination) and including $3,000,000 received for the purchase of 4,000,000 warrants by SCG Financial Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), as described in the next paragraph. Total offering costs (excluding $2,000,000 in underwriting fees) were $433,808. On April 12, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 warrants (“Sponsor Warrants”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The Sponsor Warrants were identical to the warrants sold in the Offering, except that if held by the original holder or its permitted assigns, they (i) could be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (ii) were not subject to being called for redemption. The Company sold 8,000,000 units in the Offering with total gross proceeds to the Company of $80,000,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Warrant (the "Public Warrants"). The Company’s management had broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering were intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and Sponsor Warrants that had been placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement. The Company was permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Trust Account assets were required to be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as required if no acquisition was consummated. The Company’s common stock currently trades on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “RMGN”. The warrants are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system under the symbol “RMGNW”. On April 8, 2013, the Company consummated the acquisition of Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“RMG”). As a result of the acquisition, the Company is no longer considered a Development Stage Entity. In addition, on April 19, 2013, the Company acquired Symon Holdings Corporation (“Symon”). Symon is considered to be the Company's predecessor corporation for accounting purposes. In connection with the acquisition of RMG, the Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock for cash equal to $10.00 per share, upon the consummation of the acquisition, pursuant to a tender offer. The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 5, 2013, and the Company promptly purchased the 4,551,228 shares of common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.5 million. Description of the Business The Company is a global provider of media applications and enterprise-class digital signage solutions. Through an extensive suite of products, including media services, proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, maintenance and creative content service, installation services, and third-party displays, the Company delivers complete end-to-end intelligent visual communication solutions to its clients. The Company is one of the largest integrated digital signage solution providers globally and conducts operations through its RMG Media Networks and its RMG Enterprise Solutions business units. The RMG Media Networks business unit engages elusive audience segments with relevant content and advertising delivered through digital place-based networks. These networks include the RMG Airline Media Network. The RMG Airline Media Network is primarily a U.S.-based network focused on selling advertising across airline digital media assets in executive clubs, on in-flight entertainment, or IFE, systems, on in-flight Wi-Fi portals and in private airport terminals. The network, which spans almost all major commercial passenger airlines in the United States, delivers advertising to an audience of affluent travelers and business decision makers in a captive and distraction-free video environment. The RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit provides end-to-end digital signage applications to power intelligent visual communication implementations for critical contact center, supply chain, employee communications, hospitality, retail and other applications with a large concentration of customers in the financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, utility and transportation industries, and in federal, state and local governments. These solutions are relied upon by approximately 70% of the North American Fortune 100 companies and thousands of overall customers in locations worldwide. The installations of Enterprise Solutions deliver real-time intelligent visual content that enhance the ways in which organizations communicate with employees and customers. The solutions provided are designed to integrate seamlessly with a customer’s IT infrastructure and data and security environments. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of RMG Networks Holding Corporation include the accounts of RMG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of Symon and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts shown for the “Predecessor Company” represent the transactions of Symon for the period shown. Symon is the predecessor due to the significance of its business compared to the other companies. Basis of Presentation for Interim Financial Statements The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and the notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 and the Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the Successor Company for the period April 20 through September 30, 2013, the Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the Predecessor Company for the period February 1, 2013 through April 19, 2013 have been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the reported interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes there to. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits in financial institutions and investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are comprised of sales made primarily to entities located in the United States of America, EMEA and Asia. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed monthly and the Company establishes reserves for doubtful accounts on a case-by-case basis based on a current review of the collectability of accounts and historical collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $227,380 at September 30, 2014 and $241,535 at December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable or revenues. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of software-embedded smart products, electronic components, computers and computer accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Writeoffs of slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and estimated future usage. The composition of inventory at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
Property and Equipment The Company records purchases of property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets resulting from the acquisitions of RMG and Symon. Goodwill is tested annually at December 31 for impairment or tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets of the reporting unit. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. In performing the impairment test at December 31, 2013, there was some indication that there could be impairment at that date. The Company engaged an independent specialist to assist the Company in completing an impairment test as of December 31, 2013 and, based on the results of the testing, the Company has concluded there was no impairment. The Media reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by $1,578,000 or 5.7% and the Enterprise reporting unit’s fair value exceeded it carrying value by $6,500,000, or 13%. The Company's impairment analysis contained certain assumptions, such as the discount rate, that are subject to change. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the impairment analysis. In the second quarter of 2014, as a result of the continued decline in the Company’s stock price, coupled with lower than anticipated operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and a change in the estimate of future operating results for the Media unit, goodwill was tested for impairment as of June 30, 2014. The Company engaged an independent specialist to assist in determining if goodwill was impaired at June 30, 2014. Based on the impairment testing performed, it was determined that goodwill of the Media unit was impaired and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,332,359 at June 30, 2014. This impairment is reflected in Note 4. The impairment testing concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at the Enterprise reporting unit. The Enterprise reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by $4,718,000 or 10.4%. The Company’s impairment analysis contained certain assumptions, such as the discount rate, that are subject to change. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the impairment analysis. In the third quarter of 2014, as a result of another decline in the Company’s stock price, coupled with lower than anticipated operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the employment of a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Revenue Officer for the Media unit, turnover in the Media unit’s sales team, and a change in the estimate of future operating results for the Media unit, goodwill was again tested for impairment as of September 30, 2014. The Company engaged an independent specialist to assist in determining if goodwill was impaired at September 30, 2014. Based on the impairment testing performed, it was determined that goodwill of the Media unit was impaired and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7,129,000 at September 30, 2014. This impairment charge was equal to the remaining carrying value of goodwill at the Media unit and is reflected in Note 4. The impairment testing concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at the Enterprise unit. The Enterprise unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by $3,815,000 or 9.8%. The Company’s impairment analysis contained certain assumptions, such as the discount rate, that are subject to change. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the impairment analysis. The Company’s market capitalization could fluctuate in the future. As a result, it will continue to treat this data as an indicator of possible impairment if its market capitalization falls below its book value. If this situation occurs, it will perform the required detailed analysis to determine if there is impairment. Intangible assets include software and technology, customer relationships, partner relationships, trademarks and trade names, customer order backlog and covenants not-to-compete associated with the acquisitions of RMG and Symon. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The definite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation involves testing the recoverability of the asset on an undiscounted cash-flow basis, and, if the asset is not recoverable, recognizing an impairment charge, if necessary, to reduce the asset's carrying amount to its fair value. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. In the second quarter of 2014, as a result of the continued decline in the Company’s stock price, coupled with lower than anticipated operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and a change in the estimate of future operating results for the Media unit, intangible assets were tested for impairment as of June 30, 2014. The Company engaged an independent specialist to assist it in determining if intangible assets were impaired at June 30, 2014. Based on the impairment testing performed, it was determined that some intangible assets of RMG were impaired, specifically Customer Relationships, Partner Relationships, and Covenant Not-to-Compete, and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5,913,000. See Note 4. In the third quarter of 2014, as a result of another decline in the Company’s stock price, coupled with lower than anticipated operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the employment of a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Revenue Officer for the Media unit, turnover in the Media unit’s sales team, and a change in the estimate of future operating results for the Media unit, intangible assets were tested for impairment as of September 30, 2014. The Company engaged an independent specialist to assist it in determining if intangible assets were impaired at September 30, 2014. Based on the impairment testing performed, it was determined that the intangible assets of the Media unit were impaired and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $10,047,490. This impairment charge was equal to the remaining carrying value of intangible assets at the Media unit and is reflected in Note 4. The impairment testing concluded there was no impairment of intangible assets at the Enterprise reporting unit at June 30, 2014 or at September 30, 2014. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the impairment analysis. The Company’s Intangible Assets are amortized as follows:
Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from professional service agreements. Deferred revenue is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company generally invoices the customer in annual advance for professional services. Impairment of Long-lived Assets In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment of long-lived assets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes in income the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the enactment date. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions, if any, only if those positions are more likely than not of being realized. It also requires the Company to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes, based on management’s best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid, in the same period that the interest would begin accruing or the penalties would first be assessed. The Company maintains accruals for uncertain tax positions until examination of the tax year is completed by the applicable taxing authority, available review periods expire or additional facts and circumstances cause it to change its assessment of the appropriate accrual amount (see Note 6). U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $4.1 and $3.9 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014 December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company reinvests earnings of foreign subsidiaries in foreign operations and expects that future earnings will also be reinvested in foreign operations indefinitely. The Company has elected to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense if incurred. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:
The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue and cost of revenue. Advertising The Company sells advertising through agencies and directly to a variety of customers under contracts ranging from one month to one year. Contracts usually specify the network placement, the expected number of impressions (determined by passenger or visitor counts) and the cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”) over the contract period to arrive at a contract amount. The Company bills for these advertising services as requested by the customer, generally on a monthly basis following delivery of the contracted number of impressions for the particular ad insertion. Revenue is recognized at the end of the month in which fulfillment of the advertising order occurred. Although the Company typically presents invoices to an advertising agency, collection is reasonably assured based upon the customer placing the order. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent), the Company has recorded its advertising revenues on a gross basis. Payments to airline and other partners for revenue sharing are paid on a monthly basis either under a minimum annual guarantee (based upon estimated advertising revenues), or as a percentage of the advertising revenues following collection from customers. The portion of revenue that the Company shares with its partners ranges from 25% to 80% depending on the partner and the media asset. The Company makes minimum annual guarantee payments under three agreements (two to airline partners and one to another partner). Payments to all other partners are calculated on a revenue sharing basis. The Company’s partnership agreements have terms ranging from one to five years. Four partnership agreements renew automatically unless terminated prior to renewal and the other partners have no obligation to renew. Multiple-Element Arrangements Products consist of proprietary software and hardware equipment. The Company considers the sale of software more than incidental to the hardware as it is essential to the functionality of the hardware products. The Company enters into multiple-product and services contracts, which may include any combination of equipment and software products, professional services, maintenance and content services. Multiple Element Arrangements (“MEAs”) are arrangements with customers which include multiple deliverables, including a combination of equipment and services. The deliverables included in the MEAs are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered equipment has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered service element(s) is probable and substantially in the Company's control. Revenue from arrangements for the sale of tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality requires allocation of the arrangement consideration to the separate deliverables using the relative selling price (“RSP”) method for each unit of accounting based first on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) if it exists, second on third-party evidence (“TPE”) if it exists, and on estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE or TPE of selling price of the Company's various applicable tangible products containing essential software products and services. The Company establishes the pricing for its units of accounting as follows:
The Company has also established VSOE for its professional services and maintenance and content services based on the same criteria as previously discussed under the software revenue recognition rules. The Company uses the estimated selling price to determine the relative sales price of its products. Revenue for elements that cannot be separated is recognized once the revenue recognition criteria for the entire arrangement has been met or over the period that our last remaining obligation to perform is fulfilled. Consideration for elements that are deemed separable is allocated to the separate elements at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price and recognized based on meeting authoritative criteria. The Company sells its products and services through its global sales force and through a select group of resellers and business partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of sales have historically been generated solely by the Company’s sales team, with 10% or less through resellers. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales historically coming from the reseller channel. Overall, approximately 67% of the Company’s global revenues have historically been derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels. The Company has formal contracts with its resellers that set the terms and conditions under which the parties conduct business. The resellers purchase products and services from the Company, generally with agreed-upon discounts, and resell the products and services to their customers, who are the end-users of the products and services. The Company does not offer contractual rights of return other than under standard product warranties and product returns from resellers have be insignificant to date. The Company therefore sells directly to its resellers and recognizes revenue on sales to resellers upon delivery, consistent with its recognition policies as discussed above. The Company bills the resellers directly for the products and services they purchase. Software licenses and product warranties pass directly from the Company to the end-users. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to resellers consistent with its recognition policies as discussed below. Product revenue The Company recognizes revenue on product sales generally upon delivery of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in revenue and the related shipping costs are included in cost of revenue. Maintenance and content services revenue Maintenance support consists of hardware maintenance and repair and software support and updates. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. Content services consist of providing customers live and customized news feeds. Maintenance and content services revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contracts, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer annually. Rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon specified rates as set forth in the arrangement. The Company’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal. Professional services revenue Professional services consist primarily of installation and training services. Installation fees are recognized either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the installation which is typically completed within five business days. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the product. Training services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to training is recognized as revenue as the Company performs the services. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of the related software product are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, any additional software development costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. The Company believes its process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date. Advertising Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense, are expensed as incurred and are not material to the consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows: RMG Networks Holding Corporation
As part of its testing of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, the Company fair values all of its assets and liabilities, many of which were based on discounted cash flows analysis and forecasted future operating results which represent Level 3 inputs. In addition, the Company values its warrant liability at the end of each period based on Level 2 inputs. Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments; the short term debt and the long-term debt’s carrying value approximates its fair value due to the variable market interest rate of the debt. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security for accounts receivable. However, credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s ongoing evaluations of customer creditworthiness. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the United States with three financial institutions. These balances routinely exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit. Cash and cash equivalents of $446,638 and $1,696,475 held in foreign countries as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were not insured. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per share for each class of participating common stock, excluding any dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock, is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic; however diluted income (loss) per share reflects the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. There were no stock options, warrants, or other equity instruments outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that had a dilutive effect on net income (loss) per share. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the British pound sterling. All assets and all liabilities of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at period-ending exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated to U.S. dollars at the weighted-average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Resultant translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company includes currency gains and losses on temporary intercompany advances in the determination of net income. Currency gains and losses are included in interest and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Business Segment Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s business is comprised of two operating segments, media advertising and enterprise solutions. The CEO reviews financial data that encompasses the Company’s media advertising and enterprise solutions revenues, cost of revenues, and gross profit. Since the Company operates as a single entity globally, it does not allocate operating expenses to each segment for purposes of calculating operating income, EBITDA, or other financial measurements for use in making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO manages the business based primarily on broad functional categories of sales, marketing and technology development and strategy. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC No. 718-10 - "Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of share granted and the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Section 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The new section will replace Section 605, "Revenue Recognition" and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The section is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards with previously differing treatment between United States practice and those of much of the rest of the world, as well as, to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2017, given that early adoption is not an option. The Company will further study the implications of this statement in order to evaluate the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
