Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements |
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
|
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-K, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes. |
|
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by the Company’s management include, but are not limited to, the fair value of investments in marketable securities, the collectability of accounts receivable, the realizability of inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the estimated fair value of the royalty and advance guarantees, and stock-based transactions. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair Value Measurements |
|
The Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial assets on a recurring basis. A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: |
|
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and |
|
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments, in marketable securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, capital leases, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, capital leases, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the investments in marketable securities is determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or Level 1 inputs. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Management believes that the carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate their fair value because of the short maturity period. |
|
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company had amounts in these accounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits. |
|
The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. For each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $53,300. |
|
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, revenues from a limited number of clients accounted for approximately 64% and 78%, respectively, of total revenues. These revenues were generated from the sales of tour merchandise, VIP services, and merchandising and fulfillment services. As of December 31, 2013, accounts receivable from MCN clients totaled approximately 56% of the total accounts receivable balance. |
|
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Investments In Marketable Securities |
|
The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. |
|
As of July 1, 2013, the Company reclassified its investments from trading securities to available-for-sale securities. Marketable debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, generally based on market quotes, to the extent they are available. Unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred taxes, are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in earnings in the statements of comprehensive loss. |
|
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Inventories |
|
Inventories consist of merchandise for sale and are stated at the lower of average cost or market determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. When a purchase contains multiple copies of the same item, they are stated at average cost. |
|
At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventory quantities on hand and on order and records a provision for excess quantities and obsolescence. Among other factors, the Company considers historical demand and forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence and net realizable value. In addition, the Company considers changes in the market value of components in determining the net realizable value of its inventory. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories. |
|
Advanced Royalties [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Advanced Royalties |
|
Advanced royalties represent amounts the Company has advanced to certain clients and are recoupable against future royalties earned by the clients. Advances are issued in either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock and advanced amounts are calculated based on the clients’ projected earning potential over a fixed period of time. Advances made by issuing stock or common stock options are recorded at their fair value on the date of issue. If the shares do not reach the required price per share, the Company has the option of issuing additional shares or making cash payment of the difference between the sales price and the fair value of the stock. The Company records a liability for the difference between the fair value of the stock and the guaranteed sales price amount. The change in fair value of the stock price guarantee is recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss. |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Any leasehold improvements are depreciated at the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. |
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Intangible Assets |
|
Intangible assets consist of patents which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 17 years. |
|
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Long-Lived Assets |
|
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. |
|
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company generates revenue principally from sales of fan experiences, fan club membership fees, shipping calculator subscriptions, and from client services. |
|
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 605. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenues when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. |
|
Fan experience sales generally include tickets and related experiences at concerts and other events conducted by performing artists. Revenues associated with these fan experiences are generally reported gross, rather than net, and are deferred until the related event has been concluded, at which time the revenues and related direct costs are recognized. |
|
Fan club membership fees are recognized ratably over the term of the related membership, generally one year. |
|
For sales of merchandise owned and warehoused by the Company, the Company is responsible for conducting the sale, billing the customer, shipping the merchandise to the customer, processing customer returns and collecting accounts receivable. The Company recognizes revenue upon verification of the credit card transaction and shipment of the merchandise, discharging all obligations of the Company with respect to the transaction. During 2013 the Company moved its merchandising operations to MCN in Nashville, TN. Revenues are recognized by means of a profit split calculation payable as a commission due to the Company. |
|
Client services revenues include web development and design, creative services, marketing services and general business consulting services. For contracts that are of a short duration and fixed price, revenue is recognized when there are no significant obligations and upon acceptance by the customer of the completed project. Revenues on longer-term fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Services that are performed on a time and material basis are recognized as the related services are performed. |
|
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cost of Revenues |
|
Cost of revenues include event tickets, ticketing and venue fees, shipping and handling fees associated with e-commerce sales, merchandise and royalties paid to clients. |
|
Operating Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Operating Expenses |
|
Operating expenses include indirect client related expenses, including credit card processing fees, payroll, travel, facility costs, and other general and administrative expenses. |
|
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Advertising |
|
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, advertising expense totaled $7,815 and $4,679, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss. |
|
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Share-Based Compensation |
|
The Company grants options to purchase the Company’s common stock to employees, directors and consultants under stock option plans. The benefits provided under these plans are share-based payments that the Company accounts for using the fair value method. |
|
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) that uses assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and other factors. The expected terms of options granted are based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. Since the Company does not expect to pay dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future, it estimated the dividend yield to be 0%. |
|
Share-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest and is amortized under the straight-line attribution method. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The fair value method requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience. Changes to the estimated forfeiture rate are accounted for as a cumulative effect of change in the period the change occurred. |
|
Since the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no excess tax benefits for tax deductions related to share-based awards were recognized from stock options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 that would have resulted in a reclassification from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities. |
|
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
|
The Company recognizes any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. |
|
The total unrecognized tax benefit resulting in an increase in deferred tax assets and corresponding increase in the valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 is $3.0 million. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. |
|
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had $0 accrued for interest and penalties on the Company’s balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012. |
|
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2010 and forward for federal and 2009 and forward for state purposes are subject to examination by the U.S., Massachusetts and New Jersey tax authorities due to the carry-forward of unutilized net operating losses. The Company does not foresee material changes to its gross uncertain income tax position liability within the next twelve months. |
|
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share |
|
Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect. |
|
For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were approximately 6,427,000 potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the year then ended. |
|
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Segment Reporting |
|
The Company has determined that it has only one discreet operating segment consisting of activities and services surrounding the sale of fan experiences, fan club memberships, and merchandise associated with its relationships with performing artists and organizations. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who evaluates the company as a single operating segment. |
