Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share attributable to RCIHH common shareholders
Earnings Per Share	7. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) 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 restricted stock, 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 EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s outstanding common restricted stock, stock options, warrants and convertible debentures were converted into common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings (as adjusted for interest expense that would no longer occur if the debentures were converted). The table below presents the reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts): For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Numerator - Net income attributable to RCIHH common shareholders – basic $ 2,898 $ 2,552 Adjustment to net income from assumed conversion of debentures(2) 5 85 Adjusted net income attributable to RCIHH common shareholders – diluted $ 2,903 $ 2,637 Denominator(1)(3) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic 9,768 10,296 Effect of potentially dilutive convertible debentures(2) 46 339 Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding – diluted 9,814 10,635 Basic earnings per share $ 0.30 $ 0.25 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.30 $ 0.25 (1) All outstanding restricted stock, warrants and options were considered for the EPS computation. Potentially dilutive options and warrants of 172,400 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 have been excluded from earnings per share due to their being anti-dilutive. No restricted stock or options were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2016. (2) Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at the beginning of the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaling $859,000 and $3.9 million, respectively, were convertible into common stock at a price of $10.25 and $12.50 per share in fiscal 2017 and $10.00, $10.25 and $12.50 per share in fiscal 2016. (3) As of January 4, 2017, in relation to paying off certain convertible notes (see Note 11), the Company has no more outstanding restricted stock, stock options, warrants or convertible debt.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters New York Settlement Filed in 2009, the case claimed Rick’s Cabaret New York misclassified entertainers as independent contractors. Plaintiffs sought minimum wage for the hours they danced and return of certain fees. RCI Entertainment (New York), Inc. and Peregrine Enterprises, Inc. maintained the dancers were properly classified, and alternatively, amounts earned were well in excess of the minimum wage and should satisfy any obligations. On April 1, 2015, we and our subsidiaries, RCI Entertainment (New York), Inc. and Peregrine Enterprises, Inc., entered into an agreement to settle in full a New York based federal wage and hour class and collective action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 22, 2015, the Court granted final approval of the settlement. Under the terms of the agreement, Peregrine Enterprises, Inc. was to make up to $15.0 million available to class members and their attorneys. The actual amount paid was determined based on the number of class members responding by the end of a two-month notice period which ended on December 4, 2015. Unclaimed checks or payments reverted back to Peregrine at that time. Based on the current schedule, an initial payment for attorneys’ fees of $1,833,333 was made in October 2015, with two subsequent payments of $1,833,333 each being made in equal annual installments. As part of the settlement, RCIHH was required to guarantee the obligations of RCI Entertainment (New York), Inc. and Peregrine Enterprises, Inc. under the settlement. The Company expensed $11.1 million during the year ended September 30, 2015 as the final liability for its obligations under the settlement, which was included as settlement of lawsuits and other one-time costs in the consolidated statement of income. Of this amount, $5.6 million was paid to entertainers and $5.5 million has been or will be paid to the lawyers. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company has a total amount of $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, recorded in accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for future payments to the lawyers. Indemnity Insurance Corporation 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 several civil lawsuits pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has retained counsel to defend against and evaluate these claims and lawsuits. We are funding 100% of the costs of litigation and will seek reimbursement from the bankruptcy receiver. The Company filed the appropriate claims against IIC with the Receiver before 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, since October 25, 2013, the Company has obtained general liability coverage from other insurers, which have covered and/or will cover any claims arising from actions after that date. General The Company is involved in various suits and claims arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate outcome of these items will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of income or financial position. The Company has been sued by a landlord in the 33rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas for a Houston Bombshells which was under renovation in 2015. The plaintiff alleges RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiary, BMB Dining Services (Willowbrook), Inc., breached a lease agreement by constructing an outdoor patio, which allegedly interfered with the common areas of the shopping center, and by failing to provide Plaintiff with proposed plans before beginning construction. Plaintiff also asserts RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. is liable as guarantor of the lease. The lease was for a Bombshells restaurant to be opened in the Willowbrook Shopping Center in Houston, Texas. Both RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. and BMB Dining Services (Willowbrook), Inc. have denied liability and assert that Plaintiff has failed to mitigate its claimed damages. Further, BMB Dining Services (Willowbrook), Inc. asserts that Plaintiff affirmatively represented that the patio could be constructed under the lease and has filed counter claims and third-party claims against Plaintiff, Plaintiff’s manager, and Plaintiff’s broker asserting that they committed fraud and that the landlord breached the applicable agreements. It is unknown at this time whether the resolution of this uncertainty will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. Settlements of lawsuits for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $73,000 and $540,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company has accrued $1.9 million and $2.7 million in accrued liabilities, respectively, related to settlement of lawsuits.
