Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xcel and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 (the "Current Year") and 2017 (the "Prior Year"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. The Company deems the following items to require significant estimates from management: • Allowance for doubtful accounts; • Useful lives of trademarks; • Assumptions used in the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill including cash flow estimates for impairment analysis; • Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions for stock option values; • Performance-based stock option expense recognition; • Inventory reserves; and • Valuation allowances and effective tax rate for tax purposes. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s ongoing discussions with its licensees, wholesale and digital customers and its evaluation of each customer's payment history, account aging, and financial position. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had $11.0 million and $8.5 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.2 million and $0.03 million , respectively. The accounts receivable balance includes approximately $0.00 million and $0.38 million of earned revenue that has been accrued but not billed as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Inventory Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted average basis. The Company holds finished goods inventory for its e-commerce jewelry operations. Apparel and jewelry finished goods inventory is purchased to satisfy orders received from its wholesale operations. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its inventories in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventories, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. Reserves for inventory shrinkage, representing the risk of physical loss of inventory, are estimated based on historical experience and are adjusted based upon physical inventory counts. Property and Equipment Furniture, equipment, and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three ( 3 ) to seven ( 7 ) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases. Betterments and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under this standard, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are required to be assessed for impairment at least annually (we utilize December 31 as our testing date) and when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. Goodwill The Company annually has the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that there is an impairment. Should the results of this assessment result in either an ambiguous or unfavorable conclusion, the Company will perform additional quantitative testing. The first quantitative testing step compares estimated fair value with carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is considered not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, then a second step is performed to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment charge equal to the difference is recorded. This requires the Company’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future revenues of the Company. The Company performed its annual quantitative analysis of goodwill at December 31, 2017. As a result of the December 31, 2017 impairment testing, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2017 for the total amount of goodwill previously recorded on its balance sheet of approximately $12.4 million . The underlying cause of the impairment was the declining public trading price of the Company’s common stock and the ensuing decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, as of December 31, 2017, as compared to the calculated fair value of the Company (see below for further discussion of the determination of fair value). The Company’s trading price for its common stock had been declining in 2017 due to our thinly traded stock, failure of the market to distinguish us from our competitors with poor balance sheets, and general outlook on the consumer retail environment. Due to the prolonged decline in the Company’s stock price, it was determined during the fourth quarter that such a decline was no longer temporary. With reference to the goodwill quantitative testing at December 31, 2017, the Company determined fair value using a weighted approach, including both an income approach and a market approach. The income approach included a discounted cash flow model relying on significant assumptions consisting of revenue growth rates and operating margins based on internal forecasts, terminal value, and the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") used to discount future cash flows (in our 2017 analysis, we used a discount rate of 13% ). Internal forecasts of revenue growth, operating margins, and working capital needs over the next five years were developed with consideration of macroeconomic factors, historical performance, and planned activities. In 2017, the Company made a terminal value assumption that cash flows would grow 4.0% each year subsequent to year five, based on management expectations for the long-term growth prospects of the Company. The residual value was determined under both an EBITDA exit multiple and a Gordon Growth model. To determine the WACC, the Company used a standard valuation method, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), based on readily available and current market data of peer companies considered market participants. An additional risk premium of 2% was added to the WACC. As some of the other comparable companies have significant levels of debt, Xcel’s public data was selected for the capital structure and beta. For the market approach, the Company considered both the Guideline Companies method and the Comparable Transactions method. The inputs and assumptions utilized in the goodwill impairment analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets for recovery in accordance with ASC-820-10-55-3F, which states that the income approach (“Income Approach”) converts future amounts (for example cash flows) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the Income Approach is used, fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts. The Income Approach is based on the present value of future earnings expected to be generated by a business or asset. Income projections for a future period are discounted at a rate commensurate with the degree of risk associated with future proceeds. A residual or terminal value is also added to the present value of the income to quantify the value of the business beyond the projection period. As such, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to its expected future discounted net cash flows. If the carrying amount of such assets is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. There were no impairments charges in the Current Year or Prior Year. Finite Lived Intangible Assets The Company’s finite lived intangible assets, including Trademarks, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a finite lived intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 . With reference to our finite-lived intangible assets impairment testing, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on undiscounted cash flows analysis or appraisals. The inputs utilized in the finite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820. The Company’s finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of four ( 4 ) to fifteen ( 15 ) years. Restricted Cash Restricted cash at both December 31, 2018 and 2017 was (i) $1.5 million and consists of cash deposited with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“BHI”) as (i) $1.0 million collateral for an irrevocable standby letter of credit associated with the lease of the Company’s current corporate office and operating facilities at 1333 Broadway, New York City, and (ii) $0.4 million of cash held as a security deposit for the sublease of the Company’s former corporate offices by the Company to a third-party subtenant. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate The Company holds a limited partner ownership interest in an unconsolidated affiliate, which was entered into in 2016. This investment is accounted for in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments" Overall (Subtopic 825-10): "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," and is included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the carrying value of this investment was $0.1 million . This investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, the investment is valued at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Note Receivable The Company holds a promissory note receivable from a certain key employee in the principal amount of $0.9 million . This note receivable was entered into during 2016 is due and payable on April 1, 2019 , and is fully collateralized by various assets of the employee in which the Company has been granted a security interest. The note receivable has been recorded at amortized cost, and is included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . The note bears interest at 5.1% , which was prepaid through a non-refundable original issue discount; interest income is being recognized over the term of the note using the interest method. The net carrying value of the promissory note receivable at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0.9 million and $0.9 million , respectively. Deferred Finance Costs The Company incurred costs (primarily professional fees and lender underwriting fees) in connection with borrowings under the senior secured term loans. These costs have been deferred on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction to the carrying value of the associated borrowings. Such costs are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. Contingent Obligations Management analyzes and quantifies the expected contingent obligations (expected earn-out payments) over the applicable pay-out period. Management assesses no less frequently than each reporting period the status of contingent obligations and any expected changes in the fair value of such contingent obligations. Any change in the expected obligation will result in expense or income recognized in the period in which it is determined that the fair value has changed. Additionally, when accounting for asset acquisitions, if any contingent obligations exist, such obligations are recognized and recorded as the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets. See Note 5 Debt and Other Long-term Liabilities for additional information related to contingent obligations. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” under the modified retrospective adoption method effective January 1, 2018, by applying the new guidance only to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. The Company’s evaluation of the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements included the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance and the evaluation of applicable revenue contracts. The Company performed an extensive analysis of its existing contracts with customers and its revenue recognition policies and determined that the adoption did not result in material differences from the Company’s prior revenue recognition policies. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 did not result in material differences in the amount of revenue recognized in the current year-to-date period when compared to the amount of revenue that would have been recognized in the current year-to-date period under the old guidance. Licensing The Company recognizes revenue continuously over time as it satisfies its continuous obligation of granting access to its licensed intellectual properties, which are deemed symbolic intellectual properties under the new revenue guidance. Payments are typically due after sales have occurred and have been reported by the licensees or, where applicable, in accordance with minimum guaranteed payments provisions. The timing of performance obligations is typically consistent with the timing of payments, though there may be differences if contracts provide for advances or significant escalations of contractually guaranteed minimum payments. There were no such differences that would have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 . In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of when (1) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or (2) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales- or usage-based royalty has been allocated is satisfied (in whole or in part). More specifically, the Company separately identifies: (i) Contracts for which, based on experience, royalties are expected to exceed any applicable minimum guaranteed payments, and to which an output-based measure of progress based on the “right to invoice” practical expedient is applied because the royalties due for each period correlate directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance in each period (this approach is identified as “View A” by the FASB Revenue Recognition Transition Resource Group, “TRG”); and (ii) Contracts for which revenue is recognized based on minimum guaranteed payments using an appropriate measure of progress, in which minimum guaranteed payments are straight-lined over the term of the contract and recognized ratably based on the passage of time, and to which the royalty recognition constraint to the sales-based royalties in excess of minimum guaranteed is applied and such sales-based royalties are recognized to distinct period only when the minimum guaranteed is exceeded on a cumulative basis (this approach is identified as “View C” by the TRG). The Company does not typically perform by transferring goods or services to customers before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, thus the implementation of ASC 606 did not result in material contract assets in accordance with ASC 606-10-45-3. The Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration based on the terms and conditions of licensing contracts is presented as accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance. The Company typically does not receive consideration in advance of performance and, consequently, amounts of contract liabilities as defined by ASC 606-10-45-2 were not material as of December 31, 2018 . The Company does not disclose the amount attributable to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations for variable revenue contracts (identified under “View A” above) in accordance with the optional exemption allowed under ASC 606. The Company did not have any revenue recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods. Remaining minimum guaranteed payments for active contracts as of December 31, 2018 are expected to be recognized ratably in accordance with View C over the remaining term of each contract based on the passage of time and through December 2023. Design Fees The Company earns design fees for serving as a buying agent for apparel under private labels for large retailers. As a buying agent, the Company utilizes its expertise and relationships with manufacturers to facilitate the production of private label apparel to customer specifications. The Company’s design fee revenue also includes fees charged for its design and product development services provided to certain suppliers. The Company satisfies its performance obligation to its customers by performing the services in buyer agency agreements and thereby earning its design fee at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation with the suppliers and earns its design fee from the factory at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. Wholesale Sales The Company generates revenue through the design, sourcing and sale of branded jewelry and apparel to both domestic and international customers who, in turn, sell the products to the consumer. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which occurs upon the transfer of control of the merchandise in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Direct to Consumer Sales The Company's revenue associated with its e-commerce jewelry is recognized at a point in time when product is shipped to the customer. Advertising Costs All costs associated with production for the Company’s advertising, marketing and promotion are expensed during the periods when the activities take place. All other advertising costs, such as print and online media, are expensed when the advertisement occurs. The Company incurred $0.3 million in advertising and marketing costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $0.01 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Operating Leases Total rental payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method from the possession date through the end of the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the fair value of stock-based compensation as an operating expense over the service period of the award or term of the corresponding contract, as applicable. The fair value of stock options and warrants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, and expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options and warrants using the simplified method. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of the options and warrants due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Restricted stock awards are valued using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The Company accounts for non-employee awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company accounts for forfeitures as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur. For stock option awards for which vesting is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets, the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized is based upon the Company’s projections and estimates of the relevant performance metric(s) until the time the performance obligation is satisfied. Income Taxes Current income taxes are based on the respective period’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company applies the FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also addresses derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 . Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in income tax expense. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The income tax effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period when enacted. The Act provides for numerous significant tax law changes and modifications with varying effective dates, which include reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% , creating a territorial tax system (with a one-time mandatory repatriation tax on previously deferred foreign earnings), broadening the tax base, and allowing for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 and before January 1, 2023. In response to the enactment of the Tax Act in late 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act upon issuance of an entity’s financial statements for the reporting period in which the Act was enacted. Under SAB 118, a company may record provisional amounts during a measurement period for specific income tax effects of the Tax Act for which the accounting is incomplete but a reasonable estimate can be determined, and when unable to determine a reasonable estimate for any income tax effects, report provisional amounts in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. The Company has recorded the impact of the tax effects of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2017 , and as of December 31, 2018 the Company finalized its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act and had no change to its original estimates. Fair Value ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rates and in the instances it does not, the impact is not material. The carrying value of the Xcel Term Loan (as defined in Note 5) approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rates and in the instances it does not, the impact is not material. When debt interest rates are below market rates, the Company considers the discounted value of the difference of actual interest rates and its internal borrowing against the scheduled debt payments. The fair value of the Company’s cost method investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, the investment is valued at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Fair Value of Contingent Obligations The Company recognized a contingent obligation in connection with the acquisition of Judith Ripka Trademarks during the year ended December 31, 2014. ASC 805-50-30 requires that, when accounting for asset acquisitions, when the fair value of the assets acquired is greater than the consideration paid, any contingent obligations shall be recognized and recorded as the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets. The Company also recognized a contingent obligation in connection with the acquisition of the C Wonder Trademarks in 2015. ASC 805-50-30 requires that, when the fair value of the assets acquired are equal to the consideration paid, any contingent obligations shall be recognized based upon the Company's best estimate of the amount that will be paid to settle the liability. See Note 5. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash may exceed federally insured limits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s royalty revenues. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the promissory note receivable held by the Company is mitigated as it is fully collateralized by various assets in which the Company has been granted a security interest. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted (loss) earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options and warrants outstanding were exercised into common stock if the effect is not anti-dilutive. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In addition, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which addresses implementation issues related to the new lease standard. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019 and the Company will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective approach and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings in that period. This guidance includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Company may elect to apply, incl

Amortization expense for finite lived intangible assets for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $1.1 million . Estimated future amortization expense related to finite lived intangible assets over the remaining useful lives is as follows: ($ in thousands) Amortization Expense Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 1,130 2020 1,130 2021 1,130 2022 1,050 2023 1,050 Thereafter 6,793 Total $ 12,283 During the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12.4 million , which was the carrying amount of its goodwill immediately before the charge. The underlying cause of the impairment was the declining public trading price of the Company’s common stock and the ensuing decrease in the Company’s market capitalization as of December 31, 2017 , as compared to the calculated fair value of the Company. The Company’s trading price for its common stock had been declining in 2017 due to its thinly traded stock, failure of the market to distinguish us from our competitors with poor balance sheets, and general outlook on consumer retail environment. Due to the prolonged decline in the Company’s stock price, it was determined during the fourth quarter that such a decline was no longer temporary. During 2017 , management was continuously monitoring the Company’s stock price and its market capitalization and expectations were that the sector would eventually improve and the Company’s stock would trade again at a higher value, able to support the implied premium included in the fair value obtained through the above-mentioned weighted approach, and more representative of the Company’s expected long-term target stock price. The Company’s stock trading price gradually improved during 2017 , however, beginning early November, the stock trading price began to trend back down. Management believed this to be a temporary trend, and that our stock price would soon improve. This position was supported by management consideration of some of our competitors’ highly leveraged businesses and that investors would eventually realize that the Company’s fair value was penalized by the resulting sector performance on the stock market. Although the Company’s stock price did improve toward the end of this year, due to the volatility and with continuing low stock trading prices, management decided to increase the relative weight of the market approach in its fair value model, and consequently increase the emphasis on its market peers, which ultimately resulted in the recording of the goodwill impairment.

(ii) The current portion of long-term debt presented on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 includes $4.0 million related to term loan debt, $1.46 million related to the IM Seller Note and $0.1 million related to a contingent obligation. Xcel Term Loan On February 26, 2016, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IM Brands, LLC, JR Licensing, LLC, H Licensing, LLC, C Wonder Licensing, LLC, Xcel Design Group, LLC, IMNY Retail Management, LLC, and IMNY E-Store, USA, LLC (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), as Guarantors, entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“BHI”) as agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders. The Loan Agreement amended and restated the IM Term Loan, the JR Term Loan, and the H Term Loan. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Xcel assumed the obligations of each of IM Brands, LLC, JR Licensing, LLC, and H Licensing, LLC under the respective term loans with BHI in the aggregate principal amount of $27.9 million (the loan under the Loan Agreement is referred to as the “Xcel Term Loan”). The Xcel Term Loan matures on January 1, 2021. Principal on the Xcel Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments on each of January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. On February 24, 2017, Xcel and BHI amended the terms of the Loan Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”). Under this amendment, principal payments for the year ending December 31, 2018 were increased by a total of $1.0 million , principal payments for the year ending December 31, 2021 were decreased by $1.0 million , and the minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) requirement for the year ended December 31, 2017 was eliminated. There were no changes to the total principal balance, interest rate, maturity date, or other terms of the Loan Agreement. Management assessed and determined that this amendment represented a debt modification and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded. On June 15, 2017, Xcel and BHI entered into a second amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement. Under this amendment, principal payments for the year ending December 31, 2017 were increased by a total of $0.8 million , principal payments for the year ending December 31, 2021 were decreased by $0.8 million , the minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement) requirement for the year ending December 31, 2017 was changed from $9.0 million to $7.0 million and the minimum EBITDA requirements for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019 were changed from $9.0 million to $8.0 million. There were no changes to the total principal balance, interest rate, maturity date, or other terms of the Amended Loan Agreement. Management assessed and determined that this amendment represented a debt modification and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded. The aggregate remaining annual principal payments under the Amended Loan Agreement are as follows: ($ in thousands) Amount of Principal Payment Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 4,000 2020 4,000 2021 7,500 Total $ 15,500 Commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Company was required to repay a portion of the Xcel Term Loan in an amount equal to 10% of the excess cash flow for the fiscal year; provided that no early termination fee shall be payable with respect to any such payment (the “Excess Cash Flow Principal Payment”). Excess cash flow means, for any period, cash flow from operations (before certain permitted distributions) less (i) capital expenditures not made through the incurrence of indebtedness, (ii) all cash interest and principal and taxes paid or payable during such period, and (iii) all dividends declared and paid during such period to equity holders of any credit party treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the estimated Excess Cash Flow Principal Payment provision of the Xcel Term Loan did not result in any additional repayment. The Company's obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2018 are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by all of the assets of Xcel and the Guarantors (as well as any subsidiary formed or acquired that becomes a credit party to the Amended Loan Agreement) and, subject to certain limitations contained in the Amended Loan Agreement, equity interests of the Guarantors (as well as any subsidiary formed or acquired that becomes a credit party to the Amended Loan Agreement). The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including reporting requirements, trademark preservation, and the following financial covenants of the Company (on a consolidated basis with the Guarantors and any subsidiaries subsequently formed or acquired that become a credit party under the Amended Loan Agreement): • net worth (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of at least $90.0 million at the end of each fiscal quarter ending on June 30 and December 31, of each fiscal year; • liquid assets of at least $5.0 million , until such time as the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) is less than 1.00 to 1.00 and, in which event, liquid assets must be at least $3.0 million ; • a fixed charge ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended June 30 and December 31, for the twelve fiscal month period ending on such date; • capital expenditures shall not exceed (i) $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (ii) $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 (iii) $0.7 million for any fiscal year thereafter; and • EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $8.0 million for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019, and $9.0 million for the following fiscal years. In connection with the above-mentioned refinancing transactions, the Company incurred fees to or on behalf of BHI of approximately $7,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 . These fees, along with $0.2 million of deferred finance costs related to financing transactions that took place in prior years, have been deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction to the carrying value of the Xcel Term Loan, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. The current effective interest rate on the Amended Loan Agreement is equal to approximately 6.05% . Interest on the Xcel Term Loan accrues at a fixed rate of 5.1% per annum and is payable on each day on which the scheduled principal payments are required to be made. For the Current Year and Prior Year, the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $0.9 million and $1.1 million , respectively, related to term loan debt. On February 11, 2019, an amendment was made to the Amended Loan Agreement with BHI "Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement". Immediately prior to February 11, 2019, the aggregate principal amount of the term loan under the Amended Loan Agreement was $15.5 million . Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Lenders have extended an additional term loan in the amount of $7.5 million , such that, as of February 11, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance of all the term loans by the Lenders to Xcel under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement is $22.0 million , which amount has been divided into two term loans: (1) a term loan in the amount of $7.3 million (“Term Loan A”) and (2) a term loan in the amount of $14.8 million (“Term Loan B” and, together with Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”). See Note 12 "Subsequent Events" for additional information. IM Seller Note On September 29, 2011, as part of the consideration for the purchase of the Isaac Mizrahi Business, the Company issued to IM Ready-Made, LLC (“IM Ready”) a promissory note in the principal amount of $7.4 million (as amended, the “IM Seller Note”). The stated interest rate of the IM Seller Note was 0.25% per annum. Management determined that this rate was below the Company’s expected borrowing rate, which was then estimated at 9.25% per annum. Therefore, the Company discounted the IM Seller Note by $1.7 million using a 9.0% imputed annual interest rate, resulting in an initial value of $5.6 million . In addition, on September 29, 2011, the Company prepaid $0.1 million of interest on the IM Seller Note. The imputed interest amount was amortized over the term of the IM Seller Note and recorded as other interest and finance expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. On December 24, 2013, the IM Seller Note was amended to (1) revise the maturity date to September 30, 2016, (2) revise the date to which the maturity date may be extended to September 30, 2018 , (3) provide the Company with a prepayment right with its common stock, subject to remitting in cash certain required cash payments and a minimum common stock price of $4.50 per share, and (4) require interim scheduled payments. The amendment included a partial repayment of $1.5 million of principal. On September 19, 2016, the IM Seller Note was further amended and restated to (1) revise the maturity date to March 31, 2019, (2) require six semi-annual principal and interest installment payments of $0.8 million , commencing on September 30, 2016 and ending on March 31, 2019, (3) revise the stated interest rate to 2.236% per annum, (4) allow for optional prepayments at any time at the Company’s discretion without premium or penalty, and (5) require that all payments of principal and interest be made in cash. Management assessed and determined that this amendment represented a debt modification and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded. As of December 31, 2018 , the aggregate remaining annual principal payments under the IM Seller Note are as follows: ($ in thousands) Amount of Principal Payment Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 742 For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $0.03 million and $0.07 million , respectively under the IM Seller Note, which consisted solely of amortization of the discount on the IM Seller Note. Ripka Seller Notes As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the remaining discounted balance, non-interest-bearing note relating to the Ripka Seller Notes was approximately $0.58 million and $0.54 million , respectively. An aggregate $0.60 million principal amount of the Ripka Seller Notes is due at maturity (March 31, 2019). For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $0.04 million and $0.04 million , respectively, which consisted solely of amortization of the discount on the Ripka Seller Notes. Contingent Obligation – JR Seller (Ripka Earn-Out) In connection with the asset purchase of the Ripka Brand, the Company agreed to pay the sellers of the Ripka brand additional consideration of up to $5.0 million in aggregate (the “Ripka Earn-Out”), payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of payment, and with a floor of $7.00 per share, based on the Ripka Brand achieving in excess of $1.0 million of net royalty income (excluding revenues generated by interactive television sales) during each of the 12 -month periods ending on October 1, 2016, 2017 and 2018, less the sum of all earn-out payments for any prior earn-out period. The Ripka Earn-Out was recorded at a value of $3.8 million based on the difference between the fair value of the acquired assets of the Ripka Brand at the acquisition date and the total consideration paid. In accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Ripka Earn-Out obligation was classified as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because of the variable number of shares payable under the agreement. On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the sellers of the Ripka Brand which amended the terms of the Ripka Earn-Out, such that the maximum amount of earn-out consideration was reduced to $0.4 million , of which $0.2 million was payable in cash upon execution of the amendment, and $0.1 million is payable in cash on each of May 15, 2018 and 2019. The payment of the remaining future payments of $0.2 million under the earn-out is contingent upon the Ripka Brand achieving at least $6.0 million of net royalty income from QVC during each of the 12 -month periods ending on March 31, 2018 and 2019. On May 15, 2018 the Company settled the $0.1 million earnout due by reducing the principal amount owed by Judith Ripka to the Company under a promissory note (included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018). The remaining expected value (which approximates fair value) of the Ripka Earn-Out of $0.1 million is presented in the current portion of long-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 . As of December 31, 2017 , the expected value of the Ripka Earn-out was $0.2 million , of which $0.1 million is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet in the current portion of long-term debt and $0.1 million is presented in long-term debt.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Under the Company’s separate pre-existing licensing agreements in place with the aforementioned other licensee and with HIP as described above, the Company earns royalties on the sales of such Halston-branded products. Through October 26, 2018, the Company operated under the following terms as an at-will license: • The HIP Trademark Usage and Royalty Participation Agreement, had an initial term that expired on December 31, 2020 unless sooner terminated or renewed, and we shall pay to HIP: (i) 50% of the excess H Halston Royalty paid to us under the DRT Licenses and any other third party licenses that we may enter into; (ii) 25% of the excess developed brand royalty paid to us for the Highline Collective Brand under the DRT Licenses, and 20% of the excess developed brand royalty paid to us for any subsequent developed brand under the DRT Licenses, and (iii) 10% of the excess private label brand royalty paid to us under the DRT Licenses and during the first term only of the DRT Licenses. Additionally, we have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after January 31, 2023, to terminate the obligations under points (ii) and (iii) above by paying to HIP an amount equal to four times the sum of the developed brand credits and private label credits for the contract year ending on January 31, 2023 (the "Buy Out Payment''). The Buy-Out Payment was payable by us and at our sole discretion either (a) in cash, or (b) in a number of common shares of Xcel calculated based on the amount of the Buy-Out Payment divided by the average closing price for common shares of Xcel on a national exchange for the preceding five trading days, subject to a minimum price for common shares of Xcel of $7.00 per common share. • A license and supply agreement with the Halston Operating Company, LLC (“HOC”), a subsidiary of HOH, with an initial term ending on January 31, 2022 , subject to renewal.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xcel and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 (the "Current Year") and 2017 (the "Prior Year"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. The Company deems the following items to require significant estimates from management: • Allowance for doubtful accounts; • Useful lives of trademarks; • Assumptions used in the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill including cash flow estimates for impairment analysis; • Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions for stock option values; • Performance-based stock option expense recognition; • Inventory reserves; and • Valuation allowances and effective tax rate for tax purposes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivables	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s ongoing discussions with its licensees, wholesale and digital customers and its evaluation of each customer's payment history, account aging, and financial position. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had $11.0 million and $8.5 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.2 million and $0.03 million , respectively. The accounts receivable balance includes approximately $0.00 million and $0.38 million of earned revenue that has been accrued but not billed as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.
Inventory	Inventory Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted average basis. The Company holds finished goods inventory for its e-commerce jewelry operations. Apparel and jewelry finished goods inventory is purchased to satisfy orders received from its wholesale operations. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its inventories in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventories, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. Reserves for inventory shrinkage, representing the risk of physical loss of inventory, are estimated based on historical experience and are adjusted based upon physical inventory counts.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Furniture, equipment, and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three ( 3 ) to seven ( 7 ) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases. Betterments and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under this standard, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are required to be assessed for impairment at least annually (we utilize December 31 as our testing date) and when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. Goodwill The Company annually has the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that there is an impairment. Should the results of this assessment result in either an ambiguous or unfavorable conclusion, the Company will perform additional quantitative testing. The first quantitative testing step compares estimated fair value with carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is considered not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, then a second step is performed to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment charge equal to the difference is recorded. This requires the Company’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future revenues of the Company. The Company performed its annual quantitative analysis of goodwill at December 31, 2017. As a result of the December 31, 2017 impairment testing, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2017 for the total amount of goodwill previously recorded on its balance sheet of approximately $12.4 million . The underlying cause of the impairment was the declining public trading price of the Company’s common stock and the ensuing decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, as of December 31, 2017, as compared to the calculated fair value of the Company (see below for further discussion of the determination of fair value). The Company’s trading price for its common stock had been declining in 2017 due to our thinly traded stock, failure of the market to distinguish us from our competitors with poor balance sheets, and general outlook on the consumer retail environment. Due to the prolonged decline in the Company’s stock price, it was determined during the fourth quarter that such a decline was no longer temporary. With reference to the goodwill quantitative testing at December 31, 2017, the Company determined fair value using a weighted approach, including both an income approach and a market approach. The income approach included a discounted cash flow model relying on significant assumptions consisting of revenue growth rates and operating margins based on internal forecasts, terminal value, and the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") used to discount future cash flows (in our 2017 analysis, we used a discount rate of 13% ). Internal forecasts of revenue growth, operating margins, and working capital needs over the next five years were developed with consideration of macroeconomic factors, historical performance, and planned activities. In 2017, the Company made a terminal value assumption that cash flows would grow 4.0% each year subsequent to year five, based on management expectations for the long-term growth prospects of the Company. The residual value was determined under both an EBITDA exit multiple and a Gordon Growth model. To determine the WACC, the Company used a standard valuation method, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), based on readily available and current market data of peer companies considered market participants. An additional risk premium of 2% was added to the WACC. As some of the other comparable companies have significant levels of debt, Xcel’s public data was selected for the capital structure and beta. For the market approach, the Company considered both the Guideline Companies method and the Comparable Transactions method. The inputs and assumptions utilized in the goodwill impairment analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets for recovery in accordance with ASC-820-10-55-3F, which states that the income approach (“Income Approach”) converts future amounts (for example cash flows) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the Income Approach is used, fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts. The Income Approach is based on the present value of future earnings expected to be generated by a business or asset. Income projections for a future period are discounted at a rate commensurate with the degree of risk associated with future proceeds. A residual or terminal value is also added to the present value of the income to quantify the value of the business beyond the projection period. As such, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to its expected future discounted net cash flows. If the carrying amount of such assets is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. There were no impairments charges in the Current Year or Prior Year. Finite Lived Intangible Assets The Company’s finite lived intangible assets, including Trademarks, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a finite lived intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 . With reference to our finite-lived intangible assets impairment testing, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on undiscounted cash flows analysis or appraisals. The inputs utilized in the finite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820. The Company’s finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of four ( 4 ) to fifteen ( 15 ) years.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash at both December 31, 2018 and 2017 was (i) $1.5 million and consists of cash deposited with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“BHI”) as (i) $1.0 million collateral for an irrevocable standby letter of credit associated with the lease of the Company’s current corporate office and operating facilities at 1333 Broadway, New York City, and (ii) $0.4 million of cash held as a security deposit for the sublease of the Company’s former corporate offices by the Company to a third-party subtenant.
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate	Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate The Company holds a limited partner ownership interest in an unconsolidated affiliate, which was entered into in 2016. This investment is accounted for in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments" Overall (Subtopic 825-10): "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," and is included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the carrying value of this investment was $0.1 million . This investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, the investment is valued at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
Note Receivable	Note Receivable The Company holds a promissory note receivable from a certain key employee in the principal amount of $0.9 million . This note receivable was entered into during 2016 is due and payable on April 1, 2019 , and is fully collateralized by various assets of the employee in which the Company has been granted a security interest. The note receivable has been recorded at amortized cost, and is included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 . The note bears interest at 5.1% , which was prepaid through a non-refundable original issue discount; interest income is being recognized over the term of the note using the interest method. The net carrying value of the promissory note receivable at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0.9 million and $0.9 million , respectively.
Deferred Finance Costs	Deferred Finance Costs The Company incurred costs (primarily professional fees and lender underwriting fees) in connection with borrowings under the senior secured term loans. These costs have been deferred on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction to the carrying value of the associated borrowings. Such costs are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method.
Contingent Obligations	Contingent Obligations Management analyzes and quantifies the expected contingent obligations (expected earn-out payments) over the applicable pay-out period. Management assesses no less frequently than each reporting period the status of contingent obligations and any expected changes in the fair value of such contingent obligations. Any change in the expected obligation will result in expense or income recognized in the period in which it is determined that the fair value has changed. Additionally, when accounting for asset acquisitions, if any contingent obligations exist, such obligations are recognized and recorded as the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets. See Note 5 Debt and Other Long-term Liabilities for additional information related to contingent obligations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” under the modified retrospective adoption method effective January 1, 2018, by applying the new guidance only to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. The Company’s evaluation of the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements included the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance and the evaluation of applicable revenue contracts. The Company performed an extensive analysis of its existing contracts with customers and its revenue recognition policies and determined that the adoption did not result in material differences from the Company’s prior revenue recognition policies. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 did not result in material differences in the amount of revenue recognized in the current year-to-date period when compared to the amount of revenue that would have been recognized in the current year-to-date period under the old guidance. Licensing The Company recognizes revenue continuously over time as it satisfies its continuous obligation of granting access to its licensed intellectual properties, which are deemed symbolic intellectual properties under the new revenue guidance. Payments are typically due after sales have occurred and have been reported by the licensees or, where applicable, in accordance with minimum guaranteed payments provisions. The timing of performance obligations is typically consistent with the timing of payments, though there may be differences if contracts provide for advances or significant escalations of contractually guaranteed minimum payments. There were no such differences that would have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 . In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of when (1) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or (2) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales- or usage-based royalty has been allocated is satisfied (in whole or in part). More specifically, the Company separately identifies: (i) Contracts for which, based on experience, royalties are expected to exceed any applicable minimum guaranteed payments, and to which an output-based measure of progress based on the “right to invoice” practical expedient is applied because the royalties due for each period correlate directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance in each period (this approach is identified as “View A” by the FASB Revenue Recognition Transition Resource Group, “TRG”); and (ii) Contracts for which revenue is recognized based on minimum guaranteed payments using an appropriate measure of progress, in which minimum guaranteed payments are straight-lined over the term of the contract and recognized ratably based on the passage of time, and to which the royalty recognition constraint to the sales-based royalties in excess of minimum guaranteed is applied and such sales-based royalties are recognized to distinct period only when the minimum guaranteed is exceeded on a cumulative basis (this approach is identified as “View C” by the TRG). The Company does not typically perform by transferring goods or services to customers before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, thus the implementation of ASC 606 did not result in material contract assets in accordance with ASC 606-10-45-3. The Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration based on the terms and conditions of licensing contracts is presented as accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance. The Company typically does not receive consideration in advance of performance and, consequently, amounts of contract liabilities as defined by ASC 606-10-45-2 were not material as of December 31, 2018 . The Company does not disclose the amount attributable to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations for variable revenue contracts (identified under “View A” above) in accordance with the optional exemption allowed under ASC 606. The Company did not have any revenue recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods. Remaining minimum guaranteed payments for active contracts as of December 31, 2018 are expected to be recognized ratably in accordance with View C over the remaining term of each contract based on the passage of time and through December 2023. Design Fees The Company earns design fees for serving as a buying agent for apparel under private labels for large retailers. As a buying agent, the Company utilizes its expertise and relationships with manufacturers to facilitate the production of private label apparel to customer specifications. The Company’s design fee revenue also includes fees charged for its design and product development services provided to certain suppliers. The Company satisfies its performance obligation to its customers by performing the services in buyer agency agreements and thereby earning its design fee at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation with the suppliers and earns its design fee from the factory at the point in time when the customer’s freight forwarder takes control of the goods. Wholesale Sales The Company generates revenue through the design, sourcing and sale of branded jewelry and apparel to both domestic and international customers who, in turn, sell the products to the consumer. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which occurs upon the transfer of control of the merchandise in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Direct to Consumer Sales The Company's revenue associated with its e-commerce jewelry is recognized at a point in time when product is shipped to the customer.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs All costs associated with production for the Company’s advertising, marketing and promotion are expensed during the periods when the activities take place. All other advertising costs, such as print and online media, are expensed when the advertisement occurs. The Company incurred $0.3 million in advertising and marketing costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $0.01 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 .
Operating Leases	Operating Leases Total rental payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method from the possession date through the end of the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the fair value of stock-based compensation as an operating expense over the service period of the award or term of the corresponding contract, as applicable. The fair value of stock options and warrants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, and expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options and warrants using the simplified method. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of the options and warrants due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Restricted stock awards are valued using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The Company accounts for non-employee awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company accounts for forfeitures as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur. For stock option awards for which vesting is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets, the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized is based upon the Company’s projections and estimates of the relevant performance metric(s) until the time the performance obligation is satisfied.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Current income taxes are based on the respective period’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company applies the FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also addresses derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 . Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in income tax expense. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The income tax effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period when enacted. The Act provides for numerous significant tax law changes and modifications with varying effective dates, which include reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% , creating a territorial tax system (with a one-time mandatory repatriation tax on previously deferred foreign earnings), broadening the tax base, and allowing for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 and before January 1, 2023. In response to the enactment of the Tax Act in late 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act upon issuance of an entity’s financial statements for the reporting period in which the Act was enacted. Under SAB 118, a company may record provisional amounts during a measurement period for specific income tax effects of the Tax Act for which the accounting is incomplete but a reasonable estimate can be determined, and when unable to determine a reasonable estimate for any income tax effects, report provisional amounts in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. The Company has recorded the impact of the tax effects of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2017 , and as of December 31, 2018 the Company finalized its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act and had no change to its original estimates.
Fair Value	Fair Value ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rates and in the instances it does not, the impact is not material. The carrying value of the Xcel Term Loan (as defined in Note 5) approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rates and in the instances it does not, the impact is not material. When debt interest rates are below market rates, the Company considers the discounted value of the difference of actual interest rates and its internal borrowing against the scheduled debt payments. The fair value of the Company’s cost method investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, the investment is valued at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Fair Value of Contingent Obligations The Company recognized a contingent obligation in connection with the acquisition of Judith Ripka Trademarks during the year ended December 31, 2014. ASC 805-50-30 requires that, when accounting for asset acquisitions, when the fair value of the assets acquired is greater than the consideration paid, any contingent obligations shall be recognized and recorded as the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets. The Company also recognized a contingent obligation in connection with the acquisition of the C Wonder Trademarks in 2015. ASC 805-50-30 requires that, when the fair value of the assets acquired are equal to the consideration paid, any contingent obligations shall be recognized based upon the Company's best estimate of the amount that will be paid to settle the liability. See Note 5.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash may exceed federally insured limits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s royalty revenues. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the promissory note receivable held by the Company is mitigated as it is fully collateralized by various assets in which the Company has been granted a security interest.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted (loss) earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options and warrants outstanding were exercised into common stock if the effect is not anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In addition, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which addresses implementation issues related to the new lease standard. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019 and the Company will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective approach and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings in that period. This guidance includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Company may elect to apply, including an expedient that permits lease agreements that are twelve months or less to be excluded from the balance sheet. The Company is finalizing the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, including its disclosures. The primary impact upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of the Company’s minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases as right of use assets and obligations on the consolidated balance sheets, in a range between $12.0 million to $14.0 million. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted ASC 606 under the modified retrospective adoption method effective January 1, 2018, by applying the new guidance only to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. The Company’s evaluation of the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements included the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance and the evaluation of applicable revenue contracts. The Company performed an extensive analysis of its existing contracts with customers and its revenue recognition policies and determined that the adoption did not result in material differences from the Company’s prior revenue recognition policies. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 did not result in material differences in the amount of revenue recognized in the current quarter and year-to-date period when compared to the amount of revenue that would have been recognized in the current quarter and year-to-date period under the old guidance. The Company recognizes revenue continuously over time as it satisfies its continuous obligation of granting access to its licensed intellectual properties, which are deemed symbolic intellectual properties under the new revenue guidance. Payments are typically due after sales have occurred and have been reported by the licensees or, where applicable, in accordance with minimum guaranteed payments provisions. The timing of performance obligations is typically consistent with the timing of payments, though there may be differences if contracts provide for advances or significant escalations of contractually guaranteed minimum payments. There were no such differences that would have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of when (1) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or (2) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales- or usage-based royalty has been allocated is satisfied (in whole or in part). More specifically, the Company separately identifies: (i) Contracts for which, based on experience, royalties are expected to exceed any applicable minimum guaranteed payments, and to which an output-based measure of progress based on the “right to invoice” practical expedient is applied because the royalties due for each period correlate directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance in each period (this approach is identified as “View A” by the FASB Revenue Recognition Transition Resource Group, “TRG”); and (ii) Contracts for which revenue is recognized based on minimum guaranteed payments using an appropriate measure of progress, in which minimum guaranteed payments are straight-lined over the term of the contract and recognized ratably based on the passage of time, and to which the royalty recognition constraint to the sales-based royalties in excess of minimum guaranteed is applied and such sales-based royalties are recognized to distinct period only when the minimum guaranteed is exceeded on a cumulative basis (this approach is identified as “View C” by the TRG). The Company does not typically transfer goods or services to customers before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, thus the implementation of ASC 606 did not result in material contract assets in accordance with ASC 606-10-45-3. The Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration based on the terms and conditions of licensing contracts is presented as accounts receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company typically does not receive consideration in advance of performance and, consequently, amounts of contract liabilities as defined by ASC 606-10-45-2 were not material as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company does not disclose the amount attributable to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations for variable revenue contracts (identified under “View A” above) in accordance with the optional exemption allowed under ASC 606. The Company did not have any revenue recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods. Remaining minimum guaranteed payments for active contracts as of December 31, 2018 are expected to be recognized ratably in accordance with View C over the remaining term of each contract based on the passage of time and through December 2023. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under previous GAAP, the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments differed from that applied to employee awards, particularly with regard to the measurement date and the impact of performance conditions. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. Changes to the accounting for nonemployee awards include: • Equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees will now be measured on the grant date, instead of the previous requirement to remeasure the awards through the performance completion date; • For performance conditions, compensation cost associated with the award will be recognized when achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement of the performance condition; and • The current requirement to reassess the classification (equity or liability) for nonemployee awards upon vesting will be eliminated, except for awards in the form of convertible instruments. The new guidance also clarifies that any share-based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar years beginning on January 1, 2019), including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. In addition, all liability-classified awards that have not been settled and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established by the adoption date should be remeasured at fair value as of the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which revises the guidance in ASC 825-10, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) beginning after December 15, 2017, for public companies. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business, provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and substantive process are present, and narrows the definition of the term output. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis. We will consider the guidance for future transactions.
