Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The Company consolidates all entities in which it owns or controls more than 50% of the voting shares, including any investments where the Company has determined to have control. The portion of the entity not owned by us is reflected as a non-controlling interest within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2016 , the non-controlling interest consisted of minority shareholder interests in TLC, MSK, and certain international subsidiaries of Agel. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , as compared with those disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Reclassifications Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 have been reclassified to conform to current period's presentation. The Company has reclassified select expenditures to show a consistent presentation as well as changing the presentation on the condensed consolidated statement of operations to show selling expense separate from general and administrative expense. In addition, reclassifications between program costs and discounts, cost of sales, distributor expenses, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses were made to improve the comparability of the statements. None of the adjustments had any effect on the prior period net loss. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions in these condensed financial statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, allocation of purchase price to the fair value of net assets acquired, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, revenue recognition, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classification, and contingencies. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term, highly-liquid instruments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The Company maintains cash primarily with multinational banks. The amounts held in interest bearing accounts periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 . The insured limit of $250,000 was not exceeded by any individual FDIC insured account at the end of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company has not incurred any losses related to these deposits. Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities may include equity securities, debt instruments, and mutual funds. Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income and realized gains and losses reported separately on the statement of operations. Accounts Receivable The carrying value of our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, represents the estimated net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on type of customer, age of outstanding receivable, historical collection trends, and existing economic conditions. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that a specific receivable balance may be unrealizable, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances, and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Receivable balances deemed not collectible are written off against the allowance. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.4 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Inventory All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or realizable values. Cost of inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company records provisions for obsolete, excess, and unmarketable inventory in cost of goods sold. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies assets as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale with the expectation that the sale will be completed within one year. The net assets of the business held for sale are then recorded at the lower of their current carrying value or the fair market value, less costs to sell. See additional discussion regarding the Company’s assets held for sale in Note (6) , Assets Held for Sale . Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Provisions for amortization of leasehold improvements are made at annual rates based upon the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the leases. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. At September 30, 2016 , the useful lives used for depreciation and amortization were as follows: Buildings 7 to 40 years Land improvements 3 to 25 years Leasehold improvements 3 to 15 years Equipment 3 to 25 years Leases Leases are contractual agreements between lessees and lessors in which lessees get the right to use leased assets for a specified period in exchange for regular payments. Capital leases resemble asset purchases because there is an implied transfer of the benefits and risks of ownership from lessor to lessee, and the lessee is responsible for repairs and maintenance. The Company treats asset leases as capital leases if the life of the lease exceeds 75 percent of the asset's useful life, there is an ownership transfer to the lessee at the end of the lease, there is a "bargain" purchase option at the end of the lease or the discounted present value of the lease payments exceeds 90 percent of the fair-market value of the asset at the beginning of the lease term. Capital lease obligations, and the related assets, are recorded at the commencement of the lease based on the present value of the minimum lease payments. Property under capital leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company's management reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets with definite lives for impairment in accordance with accounting guidance. Management determines whether there has been an impairment of long-lived assets held for use in the business by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flow from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying value of the asset. The amount of any resulting impairment is calculated by comparing the carrying value to the fair value. Long-lived assets that meet the definition of held for sale, when present, are valued at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Assets or asset groups are determined at the lowest level possible for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting as of the acquisition date - the date on which control of the acquired company is transferred to the Company. Control is assessed by considering the legal transfer of voting rights that are currently exercisable and managerial control of the entity. Goodwill is measured at the acquisition date by taking the fair value of the consideration transferred and subtracting the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Transaction costs - other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities - related to a business combination are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill arising from business combinations, if applicable, represents the excess of the purchase prices over the value assigned to the net acquired assets and other specifically identified intangibles. Specifically identified intangibles generally include trade names, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Goodwill is measured for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying value, an impairment charge equal to the difference is recorded. Indefinite-lived assets are measured for impairment by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. If the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is lower than its carrying value, an impairment charge equal to the difference is recorded. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model and a market approach to calculate the fair value of intangible assets. The model includes a number of significant assumptions and estimates regarding future cash flows and these estimates could be materially impacted by adverse changes in market conditions. Income Taxes The Company is subject to tax in many jurisdictions, and significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. Likewise, we are subject to audit by tax authorities in many jurisdictions. In such audits, our interpretation of tax legislation may be challenged and tax authorities in various jurisdictions may disagree with, and subsequently challenge, the amount of profits taxed in such jurisdictions under our inter-company agreements. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of asset and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance for domestic and foreign deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits. The Company records income tax positions, including those that are uncertain, based on a more likely than not threshold that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities having full knowledge of all relevant information. Penalties and interest related to tax are recorded as general and administrative expenses. Fair Value The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 represents unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 represents quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 represents valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in our condensed statements of comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) plus gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that are excluded from net income (loss), such as gains and losses related to available for sale marketable securities and the translation effect of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Translation of Foreign Currencies The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of their country of domicile. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at period-end exchange rates. Revenue and expenditures are translated at the weighted-average rates for the quarterly accounting period to which they relate. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Foreign currency translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income. Management has determined the functional currency of each primary operating subsidiary by evaluating indicators such as cash flows, sales prices, sales markets, expenses, financing, and intra-entity transactions and arrangements. The Company has listed below the functional and reporting currencies for each subsidiary. Subsidiary Functional Currency Reporting Currency Happenings Communications Group, Inc. USD USD The Longaberger Company USD USD Your Inspiration At Home Pty Ltd. AUD USD CVSL TBT LLC USD USD Agel Enterprises Inc. USD USD My Secret Kitchen, Ltd. GBP USD Paperly, Inc. USD USD Uppercase Acquisition, Inc. USD USD Kleeneze Ltd. GBP USD Betterware Ltd. GBP USD Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue In the ordinary course of business, the Company receives payments - primarily via credit card - for the sale of products at the time customers place orders. Sales and related fees such as shipping and handling, net of applicable sales discounts, are recorded as revenue when the product is shipped and when title and the risk of ownership passes to the customer. The Company presents revenue net of any taxes collected from customers which are remitted to governmental authorities. Payments received for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenue and are included in current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain incentives offered on the sale of our products, including sales discounts, described in the paragraph below, are classified as program costs and discounts. A provision for product returns and allowances is recorded and is founded on historical experience and is classified as a reduction of revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 , the provision for sales returns totaled approximately $369,000 and $197,000 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 , the provision for sales returns totaled approximately $769,000 and $637,000 , respectively. Program Costs and Discounts Program costs and discounts represent the various methods of promoting our products. The Company offers benefits such as discounts on starter kits for new consultants, promotional pricing for the host of a home show, which vary depending on the value of the orders placed, and general discounts on our products. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the cost of raw materials, finished goods, inbound shipping expenses, and the direct and indirect costs associated with the personnel, resources and property, plant and equipment related to the manufacturing and inventory management functions. Distributor Expense Distributor expenses include all forms of commissions, overrides and incentives related to the sales force. The Company accrues expenses for incentive trips over qualification periods as they are earned. The Company analyzes incentive trip accruals based on historical and current sales trends as well as contractual obligations when evaluating the adequacy of the incentive trip accruals. Actual results could result in liabilities being more or less than the amounts recorded. Selling Expense Selling expenses include merchant fees, freight out shipping expenses, distribution supplies as well as other distribution related expenses. General and Administrative Expense General and administrative expenses include wages and related benefits associated with various administrative departments, including human resources, legal, information technology, finance and executive, as well as professional fees and administrative facility costs associated with leased buildings. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation related to owned buildings, office equipment and supplies, warehousing, and order fulfillment. In addition, it also includes the amortization of leasehold improvements and intangibles. The depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment as well as depreciation associated to inventory management are included in cost of sales. Share-based Compensation The Company's share-based compensation plans include cash-settled plans, stock options, and warrants. Cash settled plans are treated as liability awards, with payments determined based on changes in the trading prices of the Company's common stock. Stock options and warrants are generally evaluated using a Black-Scholes model, with expenses recorded on a straight-line basis over the required period of service. Operating Expenses The Company evaluates operating expenses to view holistically the expenditures that the Company incurs to engage in any activities not directly associated with the production of goods or services. Operating expenses include commissions and incentives; selling expenses; general and administrative expenses; share-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; gain or loss on sale of assets; impairment of intangibles and goodwill; and any additional impairments of assets. Interest Expense Interest on outstanding borrowings and other finance costs directly related to borrowings are expensed as incurred. Interest expense includes interest on debt, discounts on loans, penalties on loans, amortization of finance charges, and interest income which is shown net of the expense. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding in accordance with current accounting guidance. Outstanding stock options and warrants, and convertible notes, are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per common share because the Company has experienced operating losses in all periods presented and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases. This new standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is in the process of assessing the effects of the application of the new guidance on our financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) .This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequently, FASB issued ASUs in 2016 containing implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09, including: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which is intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which contains certain practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues. This guidance will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt these ASUs. Management is currently evaluating these ASUs, including which transition approach to use, if needed. The Company does not expect these ASUs to materially impact the Company's consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The ASU simplifies several aspects of employee share-based payment accounting, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (Fiscal 2017). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance. In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16 (ASU 2016-16), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . The ASU requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs rather than deferring such recognition until the asset is sold to an outside party. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Fiscal 2018). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 (ASU 2016-18), Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash . This ASU provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Fiscal 2018). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the condensed financial statements. |
