Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	B.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Accounting
	The accounts are maintained and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We believe the accounting policies below are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Trade accounts receivable for the nightclub operation is primarily comprised of credit card charges, which are generally converted to cash in two to five days after a purchase is made.  The media division’s accounts receivable is primarily comprised of receivables for advertising sales and Expo registration. The Company’s accounts receivable, other is comprised of employee advances and other miscellaneous receivables. The long-term portion of notes receivable are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest income on notes receivable based on the terms of the agreement and based upon management’s evaluation that the notes receivable and interest income will be collected. The Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts or notes when, based on management judgment, circumstances indicate that accounts or notes receivable will not be collected.
	Inventories
	Inventories include alcoholic beverages, food, and Company merchandise. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis), or market.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are made using straight-line rates over the estimated useful lives of the related assets and the shorter of useful lives or terms of the applicable leases for leasehold improvements. Buildings have estimated useful lives ranging from 29 to 40 years. Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements have estimated useful lives between five and 40 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying consolidated statement of income of the respective period.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but reviewed on an annual basis for impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.  Fully amortized assets are written-off against accumulated amortization.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	In accordance with ASC 205, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
	Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.
	For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The Company’s annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of September 30, 2014. The Company recognized intangible asset impairments in the year ended September 30, 2014 related to specific reporting units. See Note P, Impairment of Assets.  The Company did not recognize impairment for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  All of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets relate to the nightclubs, except for $567,000 related to the acquisition of the media division. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Fully amortized assets are written-off against accumulated amortization.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes receivable and short and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company accounts for financial instruments that are indexed to and potentially settled in, its own stock, including stock put options, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity .  Under certain circumstances that would require the Company to settle these equity items in cash, and without regard to probability, the classification of all or part of the item as a liability and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting date, with such adjustments reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of Income.  The first instrument for derivative accounting occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 when the Company renegotiated the payback terms of certain put options and agreed to pledge as collateral to certain holders a second lien on certain property.
	The fair value of the derivative liabilities when the securities became derivatives were estimated to be $ 3.8 million using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		73	%
	Expected life		3.42 years
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		1.34	%
	The related put options were recognized in temporary equity in the amount of $ 5.2 million at the time they were issued.  The difference between that amount and the value of the derivative of $ 3.8 million, amounting to $ 1.4 million, was included in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2012 were estimated to be $ 75,000, using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		32	%
	Expected life		.17 year
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		0.06	%
	We finished liquidating these put options during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The gain for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 recognized in earnings amounted to $ 1,489 and, $116,520, respectively.
	Comprehensive Income
	The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income . Comprehensive income is the total of (1) net income plus (2) all other changes in net assets arising from non-owner sources, which are referred to as items of other comprehensive income. An analysis of changes in components of accumulated other comprehensive income is presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages, food and merchandise, other revenues and services at the point-of-sale upon receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge.
	Revenues from the sale of magazines and advertising content are recognized when the issue is published and shipped.  Revenues and external expenses related to the Company’s annual Expo convention are recognized upon the completion of the convention in August.
	Sales and Liquor Taxes
	The Company recognizes sales and liquor taxes paid as revenues and an equal amount in taxes and permits expense in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  Total sales and liquor taxes aggregated $10.3 million, $ 8.5 million and $ 6.8 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Advertising and Marketing
	Advertising and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of costs related to public advertisements and giveaways, which are used for promotional purposes. Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of Income.
	Income Taxes
	Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	US GAAP creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. There are no unrecognized tax benefits to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
	Accounting for Investments
	Investments in companies in which the company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method and carried at cost and are adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses. Investments in Companies in which the Company owns less than a 20% interest are accounted for at cost and reviewed for any impairment.  The 40% investment in one company at September 30, 2012 was recorded in other assets and was a nominal amount. The remaining 40% was sold during the year ended September 30, 2013. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company also acquired a 50% investment in a nightclub for $ 600,000, which was not yet open at September 30, 2012. This investment was also recorded in other assets at September 30, 2012. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of this operation and is now consolidated – see Note M, Acquisitions. Also during the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired approximately 12% of another entity for $600,000. This amount was included in other assets as of September 30, 2013. This investment was increased to 15% during the year ended September 30, 2014 and to 51% in October 2014, at which time the subsidiary became part of the consolidated group.
	Put Options
	In certain situations, the Company has issued restricted common shares as partial consideration for acquisitions of certain businesses or assets.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the governing acquisition agreements, the holder of such shares has the right, but not the obligation, to put a fixed number of the shares on a monthly basis back to the Company at a fixed price per share.  The Company may elect during any given month to either buy the monthly shares or, if management elects not to do so, the holder can sell the monthly shares in the open market, and any deficiency between the amount which the holder receives from the sale of the monthly shares and the value of shares will be paid by the Company.  The Company has accounted for these shares in accordance with the guidance established by FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as a reclassification of the value of the shares from permanent to temporary equity.  As the shares become due, the Company transfers the value of the shares back to permanent equity.  Also see “Derivative Financial Instruments” above.
	Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potential common stock shares consist of shares that may arise from outstanding dilutive common stock options and warrants (the number of which is computed using the “treasury stock method”) and from outstanding convertible debentures (the number of which is computed using the “if converted method”). Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) considers the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s outstanding common stock options, warrants and convertible debentures were converted into common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings (loss) (as adjusted for interest expense, that would no longer occur if the debentures were converted).
	Net earnings applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of shares used for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations are summarized in the table that follows:
	(in thousands, except per share data)		FOR THE  YEAR ENDED

Additional shares for options, warrants and debentures amounting to 234,189, 821,440 and  1,122 for the year ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not considered since they would be antidilutive.
(1)  Represents interest expense on dilutive convertible securities that would not occur if they were assumed converted.
(2)  All outstanding warrants and options were considered for the EPS computation.
Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaling $9,277, $7,790 and $3,521, respectively, were convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $10.00 to $12.50 in each year. Convertible debentures amounting to $9,277 and $1,444 were dilutive in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock Options
At September 30, 2014, the Company has stock options outstanding, which are described more fully in Note I,  Stock Options. The Company recognizes all employee stock-based compensation as a cost in the consolidated financial statements. Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The critical estimates are volatility, expected life and risk-free rate. The compensation cost recognized for the year ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $282,305, $847,183 and $314,761, respectively. There were 369,665, zero and zero stock option exercises for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Discontinued Operations
In prior consolidated financial statements, the Company has disclosed certain discontinued operations – nightclubs that the Company has closed or sold. Those discontinued operations have now become immaterial; therefore, the Company has eliminated the disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Accounting
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels.
US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
	·	Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	·	Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
	·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company’s derivative liabilities have been measured principally utilizing Level 2 inputs.
We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, if any, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from income and are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from securities classified as available for-sale are included in comprehensive income. We measure the fair value of our marketable securities based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets, or Level 1 inputs. As of September 30, 2014, available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:
				Gross
(in thousands)		Cost		Unrealized		Fair
Available for Sale		Basis		Gains		Value
Tax-Advantaged Bond Fund		$	505	$	91	$	596
In accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities , we review our marketable securities to determine whether a decline in fair value of a security below the cost basis is other than temporary. Should the decline be considered other than temporary, we write down the cost basis of the security and include the loss in current earnings as opposed to an unrealized holding loss. No losses for other than temporary impairments in our marketable securities portfolio were recognized during the year ended September 30, 2014.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
(in thousands)		Carrying
September 30, 2014		Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Marketable securities		$	596	$	596	$	-	$	-

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of UAS 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in fiscal year 2018.

	On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into a modification to two secured promissory notes whereby the due date for the $ 5 million of principal due and payable by the Company under each note was extended by two years from November 2010 to November 2012.  All other terms and conditions of the promissory notes remain the same.  The Company paid a total of $150,000 to the holders of the notes as consideration for their agreement to extend the notes for two years through November 2012.  The $150,000 paid will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.
	On September 30, 2010, the two secured promissory notes were modified again.  Under the modified terms the promissory notes become 10 year amortized facilities that provides for equal monthly payments of $77,633 each and will be fully paid on September 30, 2020, rather than a balloon payment for the entire amount that would have been due on November 30, 2012.  Interest on the modified note remains at 14 percent.  The Company paid each holder $ 50 ,000 as consideration for entering into the extension. The $ 100,000 paid will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt.
	As part of the acquisition of the Platinum Club II in Dallas, the Company acquired the Real Property from Wire Way, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Wire Way”). Pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Real Estate Agreement”) dated May 10, 2008, the Company paid total consideration of $ 6 million, which was paid $ 1.6 million in cash and $ 4.4 million through the issuance of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note bears interest at a varying rate at the greater of (i) two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate or (ii) seven and one-half percent (7.5%), which is guaranteed by the Company and by Eric Langan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, individually . The note is payable in monthly installments of $ 34,999 until June 2017.
	In connection with the acquisition of Joy Club of Austin (now Rick’s Cabaret) in December 2009 (Note M, Acquisitions), the Company assumed and entered into certain notes payable aggregating $ 2.5 million.  These notes bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75 % to 7.25 % and are payable in monthly installments aggregating $42,461, including interest.  The notes mature in December 2014 and September 2019.
	In April 2010, the Company acquired the real estate for the club in Austin, Texas formerly known as Rick’s Cabaret.  In connection with the purchase, the Company executed a note to the seller amounting to $ 2.2 million. The note was collateralized by the real estate and was payable in monthly installments through April 2025 of $19,774, including principal and interest at the prime rate plus 4.5% with a minimum rate of 7%. As of September 30, 2012, the effective rate was 7 %. The Company refinanced this debt in 2013 with a note of $ 1.5 million, payable in monthly installments of $ 15,090 through July 2018, including principal and interest at 6.25%.
	In June 2010, the Company borrowed $518,192 from a lender. The funds were used to purchase an aircraft. The debt bears interest at 6.30% with monthly principal and interest payments of $ 3,803 beginning July 2010. The note matures in June 2030.
	On June 25, 2010, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of approximately $ 9.2 million in 10% Convertible Debentures (the “2010 Debentures”) to certain accredited investors (the “2010 Holders”).  The 2010 Debentures bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured and were paid on June 25, 2013.  The 2010 Debenture were payable with one initial payment of interest only due December 26, 2010, and, thereafter in ten equal quarterly principal payments of $ 920,000 plus accrued interest thereon.  At the option of the 2010 Holders, the principal amount of the 2010 Debentures and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10.25 per share.   The 2010 Debentures were redeemable by the Company at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $13.47 per share.   Considering the cost of the associated warrants and issue costs explained below, the effective interest rate on the 2010 Debentures was 13.1 %.
	In connection with the sale of the 2010 Debentures in June 2010, the Company also issued an aggregate of 179,513 warrants (the “Warrants”) to the 2010 Holders, on a pro-rata basis.  The Company issued each Holder a number of Warrants equal to 20 % of the number of shares of common stock into which each Holder’s 2010 Debenture is convertible.  The Warrants had an exercise price of $ 10.25 and expired on June 25, 2013.  The Warrants provided that the Company had the right to require exercise of the Warrants if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for 20 consecutive trading days was at least $14.35.
	The conversion price for the 2010 Convertible Debentures was determined by negotiation with the creditors. The $ 10.25 conversion price was in excess of the market price at date of issuance of $ 8.73. The beneficial conversion was calculated by comparing the “effective conversion price” of the debenture to the actual stock price at the transaction date. The “effective conversion price” was calculated by dividing the fair value of the debt, after deducting the fair value of the debt discount due to the issuance of warrants with the debt in the amount of $ 462,724, by the convertible shares. The resulting $ 9.74 was above the stock price at the transaction date; therefore, there was no beneficial conversion feature.
	The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $ 434,571using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility			68	%
	Expected life			1.5 years
	Expected dividend yield			-
	Risk free rate			1.18	%
	The cost of the warrants has been recognized as a discount on the related debt and was amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
	The proceeds from the sale of the 2010 Debentures and Warrants in June 2010 were intended to be utilized to make future acquisitions, and could be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes.
	An adviser to the Company received compensation in the amount of $460,000, which was capitalized as loan origination cost and was amortized over the life of the debt, in connection with advising the Company regarding the June 2010 sale of the 2010 Debentures and Warrants.
	In August 2011, the Company borrowed $750,000 from an employee. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured on August 1, 2014.  The note was payable with one initial payment of interest only due January 1, 2012, and, thereafter in ten interest-only quarterly payments. The principal was payable on August 1, 2014. The note was extended in 2014 under the same terms until maturity in January 2016.  At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the note and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10.00 per share.  The note is redeemable by the Company after six months at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $13.00 per share.
	On December 2, 2011, RCI Holdings entered into a Real Estate Sales Agreement with Bryan S. Foster, providing for RCI Holdings to purchase from Mr. Foster the real properties located at 12325 Calloway Cemetery Road, Fort Worth, Texas and 2151 Manana Drive, Dallas, Texas, for the aggregate purchase price of $5,500,000, including $ 2,000,000 cash and $ 3,500,000 in the form of an 8 % promissory note that is payable over 10 years at $ 42,465 per month including interest. The Fort Worth property represents the land for Cabaret East, one of our clubs, and the Dallas property represents the land at another gentlemen’s club. This transaction closed on January 13, 2012.
	In connection with the acquisition of Silver City in January 2012, the Company executed notes to the seller in the amount of $ 1.5 million. The notes are payable over eleven years at $12,256 per month including interest and have an adjustable interest rate of 5.5%. The rate adjusts to prime plus 2.5% in the 61 st month, not to exceed 9%. In the same transaction, the Company also acquired the related real estate and executed notes to the seller for $ 6.5 million. The notes are also payable over eleven years at $53,110 per month including interest and have the same adjustable interest rate of 5.5%.
	In February 2012, the Company borrowed $ 2.7 million from a lender. The funds were used to purchase an aircraft. The debt bore interest at 8.15 % with monthly principal and interest payments of $ 26,386 beginning March 2012. The aircraft was sold and the debt retired in July 2014.
	As consideration for the purchase of the Foster Clubs (Note M, Acquisitions), a subsidiary paid to the sellers at closing $ 3,500,000 cash and $ 22,000,000 pursuant to a secured promissory note (the “Club Note”). The Club Note bears interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum, is payable in 144 equal monthly installments of $ 256,602 per month and is secured by the assets purchased from the Companies.
	The Company acquired a second adult business in midtown Manhattan in March 2013. The Company paid $3 million for the business, with $1.5 million paid in cash and the remaining $1.5 million in six percent promissory notes convertible into shares of Rick’s Cabaret common stock at a conversion price of $ 10.25. The notes are payable over ten years at $16,653 per month, including principal and interest and have a 6% interest rate.
In connection with the acquisition of the Foster Clubs, as explained above, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jaguars Holdings, Inc. (“JHI”), entered into a Commercial Contract (the “Real Estate Agreement”), which agreement provided for JHI to purchase the real estate where the Foster Clubs are located. The transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Agreement closed on October 16, 2012. The purchase price of the real estate was $ 10.1 million (discounted to $9.6 million as explained below) and was paid with $350,000 in cash, $9.1 million in mortgage notes, and an agreement to make a one-time payment of $650,000 in twelve years that bears no interest. The note bears interest at the rate of 9.5 %, is payable in 143 equal monthly installments and is secured by the real estate properties. The Company has recorded a debt discount of $431,252 related to the one-time payment of $650,000.
On January 24, 2013, we sold to an investor (i) a 10% Convertible Debenture with a principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Debenture”), under the terms and conditions set forth in the Debenture, and (ii) a warrant to purchase a total of 60,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”), under the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant. The Debenture has a term of two years, is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment), and has an annual interest rate of 10%, with one initial payment of interest only due July 24, 2013, and thereafter, the principal amount is payable in six equal quarterly principal payments of $500,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest. Six months after the issue date of the Debenture, we have the right to redeem the Debenture if our common stock has a closing price of $13.00 (subject to adjustment) for 20 consecutive trading days. The Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment) and expires on January 24, 2015. In the event there is an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant, we have the right to require exercise of the Warrant if our common stock has a closing price of $13.00 (subject to adjustment) for 20 consecutive trading days. We sold the Debenture and Warrant to the investor in a private transaction and received consideration of $3,000,000. Brean Capital, LLC acted as exclusive placement agent for the transaction and received a placement fee of 6% of the gross proceeds raised.
The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $38,256 in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
Volatility			35	%
Expected life			1.0 year
Expected dividend yield			-
Risk free rate			0.23	%
The cost of the warrants has been recognized as a discount on the related debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the life  of the debt.
The proceeds from the sale of the Debenture and Warrants in January 2013 are intended to be utilized to make future acquisitions, and may be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes.

	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30 were as follows:
	(in				2014			2013

	Included in the Company’s deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2014 is approximately $ 17.2 million representing the tax effect of indefinite lived intangible assets from club acquisitions which are not deductible for tax purposes.  These deferred tax liabilities will remain in the Company’s balance sheet until the related clubs are sold.
	The Company may recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is at least more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities. We recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense. We recognize penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of miscellaneous income (expense) in accordance with regulatory requirements.
	The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized no interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states.  The last three years remain open to tax examination. The Company’s income tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are currently under examination.

Put Options And Temporary Equity [Abstract]
Put Options And Temporary Equity [Text Block]	H.	Put Options and Temporary Equity
	As part of certain of the Company’s 2008 acquisition transactions, we entered into Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreements with the sellers pursuant to which, on or after a contractual period after the closing date, the seller had the right, but not the obligation, to have the Company purchase from seller a certain number of our shares of common stock issued in the transactions in an amount and at a rate of not more than a contractual number of the shares per month (the “Monthly Shares”) calculated at a price per share equal to a contractual value per share (“Value of the Rick’s Shares”). At our election during any given month, we could either buy the Monthly Shares or, if we elected not to buy the Monthly Shares from the seller, then the seller could sell the Monthly Shares in the open market. Any deficiency between the amount which the seller received from the sale of the Monthly Shares and the value of the shares could be paid by us within three (3) business days of the date of sale of the Monthly Shares during that particular month. Our obligation to purchase the Monthly Shares from the Seller would terminate and cease at such time as the seller received a contractual amount from the sale of the Rick’s Shares and any deficiency. Under the terms of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreements, the seller could not sell more than a contractual number of our shares per 30-day period, regardless of whether the seller “Put” the shares to us or sold them in the open market or otherwise.
	During April and May 2009, we completed renegotiation of terms of certain of our long term debt and a significant portion of outstanding put options.  Before the renegotiation, the maximum obligation that could be owed if our stock were valued at zero was $ 13.9 million and was recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as Temporary Equity. If we were required to buy back any of these put options, the buy-back transaction would be purely a balance sheet transaction, affecting only Temporary Equity or Derivative Liability and Stockholders’ Equity and would have no income statement effect.  The only income statement effect from these put options is the “mark to market” valuation quarterly of the derivative liability.
	We finished liquidating the put options during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and we have no more obligations under the put options.

	In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) for employees and directors. In August 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and in 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”) (collectively, “the Plans”).  The 2010 Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The options granted under the Plans may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified options. The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors or by a compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select individuals to receive grants, to establish the terms of the options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85 % of the fair market value of the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or advisable under the Plans.

	As of September 30, 2014, the exercise prices for outstanding options was $ 8.70.
	On June 27, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 options to the Company’s directors. These options became exercisable in June 2013, had a strike price of $ 8.78 per share were to expire in June 2014.   The fair value of these options were estimated to be $ 160,488 at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		37	%
	Expected life		1.5 years
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		0.31	%
	On July 2, 2012, the Company issued 655,000 options to certain Company employees. Of these options, 442,500 were exchanged for existing options which were to expire in September 2012. These new options became exercisable in July 2013, had a strike price of $ 8.35 per share and were to expire in July 2014.  The fair value of these options was estimated to be $ 966,493 at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		37	%
	Expected life		1.5 years
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		0.3	%
	In June 2013, the Company issued 10,000 options to a Company employee. These options became exercisable in June 2014, have a strike price of $ 8.70 per share and expire in June 2015.  The fair value of these options was estimated to be $ 11,670 at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		27	%
	Expected life		1.5 years
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		0.27	%
	The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.  The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company determined the initial expected life based on a simplified method, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company has utilized the simplified method in accordance with ASC 718 for the following reasons. Earlier in the Company’s existence, longer-term options (generally 5 -year lives) were issued to employees, Directors and outsiders. In more recent years, option terms have generally become shorter (1 - 3 year lives) and options were issued principally to management and Directors. Then in 2010, short-term options (2 -year lives) were issued to Directors, management and a substantial number of employees. Due to the changes in the terms of the option grants and the type of persons receiving the options, we believe that the historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Therefore, the Company believes that the use of the simplified method for determining the expected term of the Company’s options has been appropriate.
	During the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $282,305, $847,183 and $314,761 of stock-based compensation, respectively. There was no unamortized stock compensation expense related to stock options at September 30, 2014.

	Leases
	The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating leases, of which rent expense was approximately $4.8 million, $3.6 million and $2.9 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded using the straight-line method over the initial lease term whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. Generally, this results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

	Legal Matters
	Beginning January 1, 2008, the Company’s Texas clubs became subject to a new state law requiring each club to collect and pay a $5 surcharge for every club visitor.  A lawsuit was filed by the Texas Entertainment Association (“TEA”), an organization to which the Company is a member, alleging the fee amounts to be an unconstitutional tax.  On March 28, 2008, a State District Court Judge in Travis County, Texas ruled that the new state law violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and is therefore invalid.  The judge’s order enjoined the State from collecting or assessing the tax.  The State appealed the Court’s ruling.  In Texas, when cities or the State give notice of appeal, it supersedes and suspends the judgment, including the injunction.  Therefore, the judgment of the District Court cannot be enforced until the appeals are completed.  Given the suspension of the judgment, the State gave notice of its right to collect the tax pending the outcome of its appeal but took no affirmative action to enforce that right.  On June 5, 2009, the Court of Appeals for the Third District (Austin) affirmed the District Court’s judgment that the Sexually Oriented Business (“S.O.B.”) Fee violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution but on August 26, 2011, the Texas Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals, ruling that the SOB Fee does not violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and remanded the case to the District Court to determine whether the fee violates the Texas Constitution.
	TEA appealed the Texas Supreme Court's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court (regarding the constitutionality of the fee under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution), but the U.S. Supreme Court denied the appeal on January 23, 2012. Subsequently, the case was remanded to the District Court for consideration of the remaining issues raised by TEA.  On June 28, 2012, the District Court in Travis County held a hearing on TEA’s Texas Constitutional claims and on July 9, 2012 entered an order finding that the tax was a constitutional Occupations Tax.  The Court denied the remainder of TEA’s constitutional claims.   TEA appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Third Court of Appeals and on May 9, 2014, the Third Court of Appeals issued a ruling adverse to TEA and in favor of the State.  TEA filed a petition for review to the Texas Supreme Court on July 17, 2014.  The Texas Supreme Court denied TEA’s petition for review on November 21, 2014. On December 8, 2014, TEA notified the Texas Attorney General that TEA intends to file a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
	The Company has not made any payments of these taxes since the first quarter of 2009 and plans not to make any such payments while the case is pending in the courts. However, based on the court ruling, the Company will continue to accrue and expense the potential tax liability on its financial statements. If the final decision of the courts is ultimately in the Company’s favor, as it believes it will be, then the Company will record a one-time gain of the entire amount previously expensed.
	Since the inception of the tax, the Company has paid more than $2 million to the State of Texas under protest for all four quarters of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, expensing it in the consolidated financial statements (except for two locations in Dallas where the taxes have not been paid, but the Company is accruing and expensing the liability).  For all subsequent quarters, as a result of the Third Court’s 2009 decision, the Company has accrued the tax, but not paid the State.  Accordingly, as of September 30, 2014, the Company has approximately $15.5 million in accrued liabilities for this tax.  Patron tax expense amounted to approximately $3.1 million, $3.2 million and  $3.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s Texas clubs have filed a separate lawsuit against the State in which the Company raises additional challenges to the statute imposing the fee or tax, demanding repayment of the taxes the Company has paid under this statute.  The courts have not yet addressed these additional claims.  If the Company is successful in the remaining litigation, the amount the Company has paid under protest should be repaid or applied to any future, constitutional admission tax or other Texas state tax liabilities.
	The Company’s subsidiary that operated the club in Las Vegas has recently been audited by the Department of Taxation of the State of Nevada for sales and other taxes.  The audit period was from the date of opening in September 2008 through July 31, 2010.  As a result of the audit, the Department of Taxation contends that the Company’s Las Vegas subsidiary owes approximately $2.1 million, including penalties and interest, for Las Vegas Live Entertainment Taxes.  The Company does not believe it was subject to the Live Entertainment Tax, but to avoid further litigation, agreed to settle this contingency during July 2014 for $775,000. This amount has been expensed in settlement of lawsuits and other one-time costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014.
	The Company and subsidiaries RCI Entertainment (New York), Inc. (“RCI NY”) and Peregrine Enterprises, Inc. (“Peregrine”) have been defendants in a federal court collective and class action, pending since March 30, 2009, in the Southern District of New York relating to wage and hour claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and New York Labor Law (“NYLL”). The Company, RCI NY and Peregrine deny liability in this matter, are vigorously defending the allegations and have asserted counterclaims and affirmative defenses for offset and unjust enrichment. Discovery has been completed. On September 10, 2013, the court ruled on the parties’ motions for summary judgment. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs on liability on their causes of action for minimum wage under the FLSA and NYLL and held that entertainers at Rick’s NY are employees.  The court further held that Peregrine was an employer of the Plaintiffs and that under federal law, Rick’s NY’s statutory duty to pay minimum wages was not satisfied by the performance fees Plaintiffs’ received.   The court denied the Plaintiffs’ attempt to hold the Company or RCI NY liable as joint employers with Peregrine and the issue of whether the Company and RCI NY are also employers will be determined at a trial.  On November  18, 2013, the court set the class end date as October 31, 2012 and granted Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on Claim Five of their complaint, holding that the Club’s fines fees and tip-out requirements violated New York State law.  On November 14, 2014, following motion practice by the parties, the court issued an order holding that: (a) under New York law, the performance fees paid by Plaintiffs do not offset Defendants’ minimum wage obligations; (b) holding Peregrine liable on Claim Four of the Complaint; (c) denying Defendants’ motion to strike the reports and testimony of Plaintiffs’ expert witness; (d) denying Defendants’ motion to decertify the Rule 23 class; (e) granting in part Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to damages on Claim One and Two of the Complaint (for minimum wage under the FLSA and the NYLL) in the amount of $10,866,035 and granting Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to damages on Claim Four of the Complaint but finding that an issue of fact exists as to whether Plaintiff’s were actually required to pay certain “tip outs” and thus denying the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on that issue.   The Court has indicated that the issues remaining in the action will be scheduled for trial in 2015.   Ultimately, the Company, RCI NY and Peregrine intend to appeal the aforementioned rulings, including seeking the court’s permission to appeal certain issues immediately rather than after trial.
	As previously reported, the Company and its subsidiaries were insured under a liability policy issued by Indemnity Insurance Corporation, RRG (“IIC”) through October 25, 2013.  The Company and its subsidiaries changed insurance companies on that date.
	On November 7, 2013, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entered a Rehabilitation and Injunction Order (“Rehabilitation Order”), which declared IIC impaired, insolvent and in an unsafe condition and placed IIC under the supervision of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware (“Commissioner”) in her capacity as receiver (“Receiver”).  The Rehabilitation Order empowered the Commissioner to rehabilitate IIC through a variety of means, including gathering assets and marshaling those assets as necessary.  Further, the order stayed or abated pending lawsuits involving IIC as the insurer until May 6, 2014.
	On April 10, 2014, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entered a Liquidation and Injunction Order With Bar Date (“Liquidation Order”), which ordered the liquidation of IIC and terminated all insurance policies or contracts of insurance issued by IIC.  The Liquidation Order further ordered that all claims against IIC must be filed with the Receiver before the close of business on January 16, 2015 and that all pending lawsuits involving IIC as the insurer are further stayed or abated until October 7, 2014.  As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries no longer have insurance coverage under the liability policy with IIC.  Currently, there are multiple civil lawsuits pending or threatened against the Company and its subsidiaries; and other potential lawsuits for incidents that occurred before October 25, 2013 could still be filed.  The Company has retained counsel to defend against and evaluate these claims and lawsuits.  The Company also plans to file the appropriate claims against IIC with the Receiver by the January 16, 2015 deadline; however, there are no assurances of any recovery from these claims. It is unknown at this time what effect this uncertainty will have on the Company.  As previously stated, the Company has obtained general liability coverage from another insurer, effective October 25, 2013, which will cover any claims arising from actions after that date.
	Settlement of lawsuits and other one-time costs include approximately $2.6 million in settlements with claimants which were unpaid by our general liability insurance carrier. We will be filing a claim with the insurance company’s estate and with the state’s insurance fund for these settlements.

The Company now operates the BYOB club as “Temptations”. The entire purchase price of $380,000 was allocated to SOB License.
	Silver City
	Our wholly owned subsidiaries, RCI Dining Services (Stemmons), Inc. (“RCI Stemmons”), RCI Dining Services (Inwood), Inc. (“RCI Inwood”) and RCI Dining Services (Stemmons 2), Inc. (“RCI Dining”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Prior Agreement”) with Mr. Thanasi Mantas, Green Star, Inc. (“Green Star”), Fine Dining Club, Inc. (“Fine Dining”), Blue Star Entertainment Inc. (“Blue Star”), Adelphi Group Ltd. (“Adelphi”) and PNYX Limited Partnership (“PNYX”). The Prior Agreement was amended on December 28, 2011. On January 11, 2012, (i) Green Star, Fine Dining, Mr. Mantas, Adelphi, PNYX, RCI Stemmons, RCI Dining and RCI Holdings, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“RCI Holdings”), entered into a new Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Silver City Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) Blue Star, Mr. Mantas, PNYX, RCI Inwood and RCI Holdings entered into a separate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Blue Star Purchase Agreement”), which was subsequently terminated. The entry into the Silver City Purchase Agreement and the Blue Star Purchase Agreement terminated the Prior Agreement, as amended.
	Green Star owns and operates an adult entertainment cabaret known as “Silver City Cabaret,” located at 7501 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75247. Fine Dining has a concession to provide alcohol sales and services to Green Star at the Silver City Cabaret. Mr. Mantas owned 100 % of the stock of Green Star and Fine Dining. Pursuant to the Silver City Purchase Agreement, Mr. Mantas agreed to sell (i) all the stock of Green Star to RCI Stemmons for the purchase price of $ 1,400,000 in the form of a promissory note and (ii) all the stock of Fine Dining to RCI Fine Dining for the purchase price of $100,000 in the form of a promissory note. Each of the promissory notes are payable over 11 years and have an adjustable interest rate of 5.5%. The rates adjust to prime plus 2.5% in the 61st month, not to exceed 9%. This transaction closed on January 17, 2012.
	Adelphi owned the real properties where the Silver City Cabaret is located, including 7501 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75247 and 7600 John West Carpenter Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75247, and PNYX owned certain adjacent real property at 7506 John West Carpenter Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75247. In transactions related to the Prior Agreement, Adelphi and PNYX had previously entered into real estate purchase agreements with RCI Holdings on November 17, 2011, which agreements were subsequently amended as part of the Silver City Purchase Agreement transaction. Pursuant to the real estate purchase agreements, as amended, (i) Adelphi agreed to sell the real properties at 7501 N. Stemmons and 7600 John West Carpenter for the purchase price of $ 6,500,000 , payable $ 300,000 in cash and $ 6,200,000 in the form of an adjustable 5.5 % promissory note that is payable over 11 years, and (ii) PNYX agreed to sell the real property at 7506 John West Carpenter for the purchase price of $1,000,000, payable $700,000 in cash and $300,000 in the form of an adjustable 5.5% promissory note that is payable over 11 years. The rates adjust to prime plus 2.5% in the 61st month, not to exceed 9%. The real estate transactions closed contemporaneously with the Silver City Purchase Agreement. At closing of the Silver City Purchase Agreement transactions, Mr. Mantas entered into a Non-Competition Agreement providing for him to not compete with our subsidiaries by owning, participating or operating an establishment featuring adult entertainment within Dallas County and all contiguous counties (excepting the property located at 1449 Inwood Road, Dallas, Texas 75247).
	The following information summarizes the allocation of fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities at the purchase date.
	(in thousands)
	Building, land and contents		$	6,510
	Equipment and furniture			130
	Noncompete			100
	Inventory and other current assets			47
	Goodwill			774
	SOB licenses			2,213
	Deferred taxes			-774
	Net assets		$	9,000
	The Company incurred approximately $76,000 in legal costs associated with the acquisition, which are included in legal and professional expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
	Goodwill in the acquisition represents the offset to the deferred tax liability recorded as a result of the difference in the basis of the net assets for tax and financial purposes. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of these entities are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since January 17, 2012. This acquisition was made to further the Company’s growth objective of acquiring nightclubs that will quickly contribute to the Company’s earnings per share. Proforma results of operations have not been provided, as the amounts were not deemed material to the consolidated financial statements.
	Jaguars
	On August 3, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Jaguars Acquisition, Inc. (“JAI”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bryan S. Foster and 13 entities owned by him (the “Companies”), to acquire nine operating adult cabarets and two other licensed locations under development (collectively, the “Foster Clubs”). Ten of the clubs are located in Texas, including clubs in Tye (near Abilene), Lubbock (two clubs), Odessa (two clubs), El Paso, Harlingen, Longview, Edinburg and Beaumont, and one club is located in Phoenix, Arizona. On September 17, 2012, the parties entered into an Amendment to Purchase Agreement, whereby the Beaumont acquisition was effected through an asset purchase rather than a stock purchase. The Amendment also made minor changes to certain representations and warranties within the Purchase Agreement.
	On September 17, 2012, JAI and its subsidiaries closed the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, as amended, and completed the acquisitions of nine of the 11 Foster Clubs. The acquisitions of the remaining two clubs, which are located in Beaumont and Longview, were completed shortly after final permitting had been obtained from the local jurisdictions, at which time the closing documents for those two clubs were released. Longview was closed on September 28, 2012 and Beaumont on October 12, 2012. As consideration for the purchase of the Foster Clubs, JAI and its subsidiaries paid to Foster and the Companies at closing $3,500,000 cash and $22,000,000 pursuant to a secured promissory note (the “Club Note”). The Club Note bears interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum, is payable in 144 equal monthly installments and is secured by the assets purchased from the Companies. Upon closing of the Real Estate Agreement (as defined below), JAI and its subsidiaries paid Foster the remaining $500,000 cash consideration due with the purchase of the Foster Clubs.
	The Club Note also provides that in the event any regulatory or administrative authority seeks to enforce or attempts to collect any tax or obligation or liability that may be due pursuant to the Texas Patron Tax (sometimes referred to as the “Pole Tax”) or related legislation, then the then outstanding principal amount of the Club Note, as of the date the tax is enforced, will immediately be reduced by an amount calculated by multiplying 1,200,000 by the dollar amount of the per-person tax implemented (the “Reduction Amount”). The Reduction Amount cannot exceed $6,000,000. By way of example, if exactly two years after closing, a $2.00 per person tax is implemented and enforced, the Reduction Amount would be $ 2,400,000 and the then principal amount of the Club Note would be reduced $2,400,000. The Texas Patron Tax is currently enacted to be $5 per person which would equate to a $6,000,000 Reduction Amount if enforced. This provision was invoked in July 2014 (see Note  P, Contractual Debt Reduction).
	At closing of the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Foster entered into a five-year non-competition agreement providing for him to not compete with us or our subsidiaries by owning, participating or operating an establishment featuring adult entertainment within a radius of 50 miles of the location of any of the adult clubs owned by our subsidiaries, excluding the adult cabaret located at 11327 Reeder Road, Dallas, Texas, 75229.
	As previously disclosed on August 9, 2012, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, our wholly owned subsidiary, Jaguars Holdings, Inc. (“JHI”), entered into a Commercial Contract (the “Real Estate Agreement”), which agreement provides for JHI to purchase the real estate where the Foster Clubs are located. The transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Agreement closed on October 16, 2012. See below  under 2013 Acquisitions and Openings for an explanation of the real estate transaction.

	Inventory and other current assets			16
	Goodwill			19,133

	Net assets		$	26,000
	The Company incurred approximately $ 316,000 in legal costs and finder’s fees associated with the acquisition, which are included in legal and professional expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
	The results of operations of these entities are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since September 17, 2012. This acquisition was made to further the Company’s growth objective of acquiring nightclubs that will quickly contribute to the Company’s earnings per share.

	2013 Acquisitions and Openings
	In connection with the acquisition of the Foster Clubs, as explained above, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jaguars Holdings, Inc. (“JHI”), entered into a Commercial Contract (the “Real Estate Agreement”), which agreement provided for JHI to purchase the real estate where the Foster Clubs are located. The transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Agreement closed on October 16, 2012. The purchase price of the real estate was $10.1 million (discounted to $9.6 million as explained below) and was paid with $350,000 in cash, $9.1 million in mortgage notes, and an agreement to make a one-time payment of $ 650,000 in twelve years that bears no interest. The note bears interest at the rate of 9.5%, is payable in 143 equal monthly installments and is secured by the real estate properties. The Company has recorded a debt discount of $431,252 related to the one-time payment of $650,000. The Company reduced previously recognized goodwill because the purchase of the Foster Clubs operations and the real estate were considered to be one purchase transaction with multiple closings and were included in the same purchase agreement.

The Company paid $ 3 million for the business, with $ 1.5 million paid in cash and the remaining $1.5 million in six percent promissory notes convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $10.25. The notes call for monthly payments of $ 16,653, including principal and interest, and mature in 120 months. At the option of the noteholders, the principal amount of the notes and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10.25 per share. The notes are redeemable by the Company at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $ 13.47 per share.

2014 Acquisitions and Openings
In October 2013, the Company purchased 49 percent of a corporation that operates the Dallas club “PT’s Platinum” and also acquired the building and personal property. Total cost of the transaction was $500,000.  As the Company has control of this subsidiary, it is consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
A subsidiary of the Company closed a transaction involving the air rights above the Company’s 33rd Street club in Manhattan in October 2013. The subsidiary entered into a contract to buy the land and building for $ 10 million at any time in the next five years. Concurrent with the building transaction, a third party (the “Third Party Purchaser”) purchased the balance of the air rights of the property that are not subject to the Option Agreement. The purchase price for these air rights was $13,000,000, of which the Company’s subsidiary contributed $5,200,000 in connection with the overall business transaction. The transactions are part of a previously announced transaction under which the Company agreed to purchase the land and building for $ 23 million. The new agreement also amends the lease for the three-story building at 50 West 33rd Street to $100,000 per month for the next five years rather than the $180,000 per month called for in the original agreement.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block]	O.	Impairment of Assets
	The Company reviews property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows when assessing impairment, principally at the club level. Cash flows for our club assets are identified at the individual club level. The Company’s annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment on two properties, one which it closed and one which it sold in October 2014. These impairments were the result of the sale and closure and not from any goodwill impairment analysis. Following is the relevant information on the assets impaired:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Accounting
	The accounts are maintained and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We believe the accounting policies below are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Trade accounts receivable for the nightclub operation is primarily comprised of credit card charges, which are generally converted to cash in two to five days after a purchase is made.  The media division’s accounts receivable is primarily comprised of receivables for advertising sales and Expo registration. The Company’s accounts receivable, other is comprised of employee advances and other miscellaneous receivables. The long-term portion of notes receivable are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest income on notes receivable based on the terms of the agreement and based upon management’s evaluation that the notes receivable and interest income will be collected. The Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts or notes when, based on management judgment, circumstances indicate that accounts or notes receivable will not be collected.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories
	Inventories include alcoholic beverages, food, and Company merchandise. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis), or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are made using straight-line rates over the estimated useful lives of the related assets and the shorter of useful lives or terms of the applicable leases for leasehold improvements. Buildings have estimated useful lives ranging from 29 to 40 years. Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements have estimated useful lives between five and 40 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying consolidated statement of income of the respective period.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but reviewed on an annual basis for impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.  Fully amortized assets are written-off against accumulated amortization.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	In accordance with ASC 205, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
	Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.
	For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The Company’s annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of September 30, 2014. The Company recognized intangible asset impairments in the year ended September 30, 2014 related to specific reporting units. See Note P, Impairment of Assets.  The Company did not recognize impairment for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  All of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets relate to the nightclubs, except for $567,000 related to the acquisition of the media division. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Fully amortized assets are written-off against accumulated amortization.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes receivable and short and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company accounts for financial instruments that are indexed to and potentially settled in, its own stock, including stock put options, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity .  Under certain circumstances that would require the Company to settle these equity items in cash, and without regard to probability, the classification of all or part of the item as a liability and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting date, with such adjustments reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of Income.  The first instrument for derivative accounting occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 when the Company renegotiated the payback terms of certain put options and agreed to pledge as collateral to certain holders a second lien on certain property.
	The fair value of the derivative liabilities when the securities became derivatives were estimated to be $ 3.8 million using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		73	%
	Expected life		3.42 years
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		1.34	%
	The related put options were recognized in temporary equity in the amount of $ 5.2 million at the time they were issued.  The difference between that amount and the value of the derivative of $ 3.8 million, amounting to $ 1.4 million, was included in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2012 were estimated to be $ 75,000, using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
	Volatility		32	%
	Expected life		.17 year
	Expected dividend yield		-
	Risk free rate		0.06	%
	We finished liquidating these put options during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The gain for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 recognized in earnings amounted to $ 1,489 and, $116,520, respectively.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Comprehensive Income
	The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income . Comprehensive income is the total of (1) net income plus (2) all other changes in net assets arising from non-owner sources, which are referred to as items of other comprehensive income. An analysis of changes in components of accumulated other comprehensive income is presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages, food and merchandise, other revenues and services at the point-of-sale upon receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge.
	Revenues from the sale of magazines and advertising content are recognized when the issue is published and shipped.  Revenues and external expenses related to the Company’s annual Expo convention are recognized upon the completion of the convention in August.
Sales And Liquor Taxes Policy [Policy Text Block]	Sales and Liquor Taxes
	The Company recognizes sales and liquor taxes paid as revenues and an equal amount in taxes and permits expense in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  Total sales and liquor taxes aggregated $10.3 million, $ 8.5 million and $ 6.8 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising and Marketing
	Advertising and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of costs related to public advertisements and giveaways, which are used for promotional purposes. Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of Income.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes
	Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	US GAAP creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. There are no unrecognized tax benefits to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting for Investments
	Investments in companies in which the company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method and carried at cost and are adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses. Investments in Companies in which the Company owns less than a 20% interest are accounted for at cost and reviewed for any impairment.  The 40% investment in one company at September 30, 2012 was recorded in other assets and was a nominal amount. The remaining 40% was sold during the year ended September 30, 2013. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company also acquired a 50% investment in a nightclub for $ 600,000, which was not yet open at September 30, 2012. This investment was also recorded in other assets at September 30, 2012. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of this operation and is now consolidated – see Note M, Acquisitions. Also during the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired approximately 12% of another entity for $600,000. This amount was included in other assets as of September 30, 2013. This investment was increased to 15% during the year ended September 30, 2014 and to 51% in October 2014, at which time the subsidiary became part of the consolidated group.
Put Options Policy [Policy Text Block]	Put Options
	In certain situations, the Company has issued restricted common shares as partial consideration for acquisitions of certain businesses or assets.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the governing acquisition agreements, the holder of such shares has the right, but not the obligation, to put a fixed number of the shares on a monthly basis back to the Company at a fixed price per share.  The Company may elect during any given month to either buy the monthly shares or, if management elects not to do so, the holder can sell the monthly shares in the open market, and any deficiency between the amount which the holder receives from the sale of the monthly shares and the value of shares will be paid by the Company.  The Company has accounted for these shares in accordance with the guidance established by FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as a reclassification of the value of the shares from permanent to temporary equity.  As the shares become due, the Company transfers the value of the shares back to permanent equity.  Also see “Derivative Financial Instruments” above.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potential common stock shares consist of shares that may arise from outstanding dilutive common stock options and warrants (the number of which is computed using the “treasury stock method”) and from outstanding convertible debentures (the number of which is computed using the “if converted method”). Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) considers the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s outstanding common stock options, warrants and convertible debentures were converted into common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings (loss) (as adjusted for interest expense, that would no longer occur if the debentures were converted).
	Net earnings applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of shares used for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations are summarized in the table that follows:
	(in thousands, except per share data)		FOR THE  YEAR ENDED
			SEPTEMBER 30,
			2014		2013		2012
	Basic earnings per share:
	Net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders		$	11,240	$	9,191	$	7,578
	Average number of common shares outstanding			9,816		9,518		9,691
	Basic earnings per share		$	1.15	$	0.97	$	0.78
	Diluted earnings per share:
	Net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders		$	11,240	$	9,191	$	7,578
	Adjustment. to net earnings from assumed conversion of debentures (1)			821		57		-
	Adjusted net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders		$	12,061	$	9,248	$	7,578

	Potential dilutive shares resulting from exercise of warrants and options (2)			9		4		6
	Potential dilutive shares resulting from conversion of debentures (1)			812		93		-
	Total average number of common shares outstanding used for dilution			10,637		9,615		9,697
	Diluted earnings per share:
	Net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders		$	1.13	$	0.96	$	0.78
	*EPS may not foot due to rounding.
	Additional shares for options, warrants and debentures amounting to 234,189, 821,440 and  1,122 for the year ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not considered since they would be antidilutive.
	(1)  Represents interest expense on dilutive convertible securities that would not occur if they were assumed converted.
	(2)  All outstanding warrants and options were considered for the EPS computation.
	Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaling $9,277, $7,790 and $3,521, respectively, were convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $10.00 to $12.50 in each year. Convertible debentures amounting to $9,277 and $1,444 were dilutive in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock Options
	At September 30, 2014, the Company has stock options outstanding, which are described more fully in Note I,  Stock Options. The Company recognizes all employee stock-based compensation as a cost in the consolidated financial statements. Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The critical estimates are volatility, expected life and risk-free rate. The compensation cost recognized for the year ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $282,305, $847,183 and $314,761, respectively. There were 369,665, zero and zero stock option exercises for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Discontinued Operations
	In prior consolidated financial statements, the Company has disclosed certain discontinued operations – nightclubs that the Company has closed or sold. Those discontinued operations have now become immaterial; therefore, the Company has eliminated the disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value Accounting
	The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels.
	US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
		·	Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		·	Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
		·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
	The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
	The Company’s derivative liabilities have been measured principally utilizing Level 2 inputs.
	We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, if any, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from income and are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from securities classified as available for-sale are included in comprehensive income. We measure the fair value of our marketable securities based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets, or Level 1 inputs. As of September 30, 2014, available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:
					Gross
	(in thousands)		Cost		Unrealized		Fair
	Available for Sale		Basis		Gains		Value
	Tax-Advantaged Bond Fund		$	505	$	91	$	596
	In accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities , we review our marketable securities to determine whether a decline in fair value of a security below the cost basis is other than temporary. Should the decline be considered other than temporary, we write down the cost basis of the security and include the loss in current earnings as opposed to an unrealized holding loss. No losses for other than temporary impairments in our marketable securities portfolio were recognized during the year ended September 30, 2014.
	Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
	(in thousands)		Carrying
	September 30, 2014		Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Marketable securities		$	596	$	596	$	-	$	-
	(in thousands)		Carrying
	September 30, 2013		Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Marketable securities		$	555	$	555	$	-	$	-
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of UAS 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in fiscal year 2018.
