Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. 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 (“U.S. GAAP”). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is owned. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on September 30. References to years 2018, 2017, and 2016 are for fiscal years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Our fiscal quarters chronologically end on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 circumstances and 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 as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. 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 Accounts receivable for club and restaurant operations are 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 are primarily comprised of receivables for advertising sales and Expo registration. Accounts receivable also include employee advances, construction advances, and other miscellaneous receivables. Long-term notes receivable, which have original maturity of more than one year, include consideration from the sale of certain investment interest entities and real estate. 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, energy drinks, 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 and equipment have estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years, while leasehold improvements are depreciated at the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. 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, retired or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are written off from the accounts, and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying consolidated statement of income of the respective period. Interest expense during site construction from related debt is capitalized, which amounted to $319,000 in fiscal 2018, $43,000 in fiscal 2017, and $59,000 in fiscal 2016. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other 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. The costs of transferable licenses purchased through open markets are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. The costs of obtaining non-transferable licenses that are directly issued by local government agencies are expensed as incurred. Annual license renewal fees are expensed over their renewal term. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment during our fourth fiscal quarter 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 our goodwill impairment review, we have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. This assessment is based on several factors, including industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, including an assessment of cash flows in comparison to actual and projected results of prior periods. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value based on our qualitative analysis, or if we elect to skip this step, we perform a Step 1 quantitative analysis to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is determined using market-related valuation models, including earnings multiples, discounted cash flows, and comparable asset market values. We recognize goodwill impairment in the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, based on the results of our Step 1 analysis. For the year ended September 30, 2017, we identified four reporting units that were impaired and recognized a goodwill impairment loss totaling $4.7 million. See Note 15. No goodwill impairment was recorded in fiscal 2018 and 2016. For indefinite-lived intangibles, specifically SOB licenses, we determine fair value by estimating the multiperiod excess earnings of the asset. For indefinite-lived tradename, we determine fair value by using the relief from royalty method. The fair value is then compared to the carrying value and an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. We recorded impairment charges for SOB licenses amounting to $3.1 million in 2018 related to three clubs, $1.4 million in 2017 related to two clubs, and $2.1 million in 2016 related to one club, which are included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. See Notes 3 and 15. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset included in the asset group. If the asset group is not recoverable, the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. We define our asset group as an operating club or restaurant location, which is also our reporting unit or the lowest level for which cash flows can be identified. Assets to be disposed of are 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. For assets held for sale, we measure fair value using an estimation based on quoted prices for similar items in active or inactive markets (level 2) developed using observable data. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company impaired one club and one Bombshells for a total of $1.6 million; during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company impaired one club for $385,000; and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a loss on disposal on one property held for sale in Fort Worth, Texas for $1.4 million, which are included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. See Notes 3 and 15. 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. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is the total of net income or loss and 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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages, food and merchandise, service and other revenues at the point-of-sale upon receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge, net of discounts and promotional allowances. Sales and liquor taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. 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. Other rental revenues are recognized when earned. 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 selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. See Note 3. Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax and income taxes imposed in the state and local jurisdictions where we operate our businesses. 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. U.S. 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. We recognize penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. Investments Investments in companies in which the company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method, which are carried at cost and 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, or where the Company does not exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost and reviewed for any impairment. Cost and equity method investments are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company sold 31% of Drink Robust on September 29, 2016, retaining 20%. Because the Company has no ability to direct the management of the investee company or exert significant influence, the investment is being accounted for at cost beginning on the date of sale. The carrying value of the cost-method investment in Robust was $1.2 million as of September 30, 2016. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we determined our investment in Drink Robust was impaired and recognized an other-than-temporary impairment totaling $1.2 million which brought our carrying value of this investment to zero. In relation to the reacquisition of Drink Robust in 2018, we have consolidated the operations of Drink Robust and eliminated the investment in consolidation. See Note 13. Earnings 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 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 earnings per share (“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 or losses (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, 2018 2017 2016 Numerator - Net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders - basic $ 21,713 $ 8,259 $ 11,218 Adjustment to net income from assumed conversion of debentures - 5 153 Adjusted net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders - diluted $ 21,713 $ 8,264 $ 11,371 Denominator - Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic 9,719 9,731 9,941 Effect of potentially dilutive restricted stock, warrants and options - - 60 Effect of potentially dilutive convertible debentures - 12 228 Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted 9,719 9,743 10,229 Basic earnings per share $ 2.23 $ 0.85 $ 1.13 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.23 $ 0.85 $ 1.11 (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. Additional shares for options, warrants and debentures amounting to zero and 72,400 for the year ended September 30, 2017 and, 2016 were not considered since they would be antidilutive. Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 totaling $0, $0, and $0.5 million, respectively, were convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $10.00 to $12.50 in fiscal year 2016. Convertible debentures amounting to $0, $0.9 million, and $0.5 million were dilutive in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. 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 and recognized as expense over their requisite service period. 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. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has no stock options outstanding. Legal and Other Contingencies The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment required in both the probability determination and as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims. The Company recognizes legal fees and expenses, including those related to legal contingencies, as incurred. Generally, the Company recognizes gain contingencies when they are realized or when all related contingencies have been resolved. 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. U.S. 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 classifies its 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. The Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets, or Level 1 inputs. Available-for-sale securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, had a balance of $760,000 and $80,000 as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company reviews its 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, the Company writes down the cost basis of the security and include the loss in current earnings as opposed to an unrealized holding loss. No losses or other-than-temporary impairments in our marketable securities portfolio were recognized during the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016. Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to tangible property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable September 30, Identical Asset Observable Inputs Inputs Description 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Property and equipment, net $ 141 $ - $ - $ 141 Indefinite-lived intangibles 4,618 - - 4,618 Notes receivable 0 - - 0 Goodwill 495 - - 495 Other assets 760 760 - - Fair Value at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable September 30, Identical Asset Observable Inputs Inputs Description 2017 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Goodwill $ 4,572 $ - $ - $ 4,572 Property and equipment, net 4,678 - 4,678 - Indefinite-lived intangibles 25,740 - - 25,740 Definite-lived intangibles 600 - - 600 Unrealized Gain (Impairments) Recognized Years Ended September 30, Description 2018 2017 2016 Goodwill $ - $ (4,697 ) $ - Property and equipment, net (1,615 ) (385 ) - Indefinite-lived intangibles (3,121 ) (1,401 ) (2,092 ) Assets held for sale - - (1,400 ) Other assets 305 (1,156 ) - Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combination (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Assets Held For Sale
Assets Held for Sale	5. Assets Held for Sale During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company had decided to offer six real estate properties for sale. The aggregate estimated fair value of the properties less cost to sell as of September 30, 2016 was approximately $7.7 million and reclassified to assets held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company sold one of the properties held for sale for $2.2 million, recognizing a $116,000 loss. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold another property held for sale for $1.5 million, recognizing a $0.9 million gain. At the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Company management decided to close an underperforming club in Dallas. The Company wrote off the balance of goodwill for that location and recorded an impairment charge amounting to $1.4 million, which is included in other charges, net in our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The Company also recorded in assets held for sale the carrying value of the property for sale consisting principally of land and building amounting to $5.2 million, which is lower than fair value less cost to sell. At the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2017, two properties classified as held for sale with a carrying value of $4.3 million were reclassified to property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2017, we determined the assets no longer met the criteria for held for sale as the sale of one property was no longer likely to be completed within one year and that the other property was no longer available for immediate sale in its present condition due to a lease executed during the period. The assets were measured at the carrying value as adjusted for depreciation which was lower than the fair value at the date reclassified. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold one of the properties held for sale for $675,000, recognizing a gain of $481,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company decided to offer for sale a real estate property in Dallas, Texas, which was a location of a recently closed club, with an estimated fair value of $2.0 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company reclassified two properties held for sale with an aggregate carrying value of $7.2 million into held and used property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018. Also, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company decided to offer four real estate properties for sale, with an aggregate fair value less cost to sell of approximately $2.5 million. The Company expects the properties held for sale, which are primarily comprised of land and buildings, to be sold within 12 months through property listings by our real estate brokers. The assets held for sale do not have liabilities associated with them that need to be directly settled from the proceeds in the event of a transaction. The gain or loss on the sale of these properties held for sale is included in other charges, net in our consolidated statements of income.

Future amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets that are subject to amortization at September 30, 2018 is: 2019 - $466,000; 2020 - $443,000; 2021 - $367,000; 2022 - $261,000; 2023 - $186,000; and thereafter - $71,000. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of sexually oriented business licenses and tradename, which were obtained as part of acquisitions. These licenses are the result of zoning ordinances, thus are valid indefinitely, subject to filing annual renewal applications, which are done at minimal costs to the Company. The discounted cash flow method of income approach was used in calculating the value of these licenses in a business combination, while the relief from royalty method was used in calculating the value of tradenames. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $3.1 million impairment related to three clubs’ SOB licenses. During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $4.7 million related to the goodwill of four reporting units, including one held for sale, as well as an impairment loss of $1.4 million related to two locations’ SOB licenses.

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%. 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%. This note has been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. 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 61st 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%. The real estate notes, with original principal of $6.5 million, has been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. As consideration for the purchase of nine operating adult cabarets and two other licensed location under development at that time (collectively, the “Foster Clubs”), a subsidiary paid to the sellers at closing $3.5 million cash and $22.0 million 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. This note has been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. 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. This note has been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. The Club Note from the Jaguars acquisition 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 $6.0 million. 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 $2.4 million and the then principal amount of the Club Note would be reduced $2.4 million. The Texas Patron Tax is currently enacted to be $5 per person which equates to a $6.0 million Reduction Amount. The State of Texas has demanded payment and this provision was invoked in July 2014 and the Company recorded a gain of $6 million, less related debt discount. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired four parcels of real estate at a cost aggregating $3,230,000 and incurred debt aggregating $2.6 million in connection therewith. The notes bear interest at rates ranging from 5 - 7% and are payable $25,660 monthly, including principal and interest. The notes mature from 2018 to 2028. These notes have been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. In December 2013, the Company borrowed $3.6 million from a lender. The funds were used to purchase an aircraft. The debt bears interest at 7.45% with monthly principal and interest payments of $40,653 beginning March 2012. The note matures in January 2019. This note has been fully paid in relation to the December 2017 aircraft note trade-in, as discussed below. In December 2014, the Company refinanced certain real estate debt amounting to $2.1 million with new bank debt of $2.0 million. The new debt is payable $13,270 per month, including interest at 5.25% and matures in ten years. This note has been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. In December 2014, the Company borrowed $1.0 million from an individual. The note is collateralized by certain real estate, is payable $13,215 per month, including interest at 10% and matures in ten years.

On January 13, 2015 a Company subsidiary purchased Down in Texas Saloon gentlemen’s club in an Austin, Texas suburb. As part of the transaction, another subsidiary also purchased the club’s real estate. Total consideration of $6.8 million consisted of $3.5 million for the club business and $3.3 million for its 3.5 acres of real estate. Payment was in the form of $1 million in cash and $1.4 million in seller financing at 6% annual interest, with the balance provided by commercial bank financing in the form of a note at a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 2%, but in no event less than 6.5%. Payments on these notes aggregate $68,829 per month. These notes have been fully paid in relation to the first note of the New Loan, as discussed below. On May 4, 2015 a Company subsidiary purchased The Seville gentlemen’s club in Minneapolis Minnesota. As part of the transaction, another subsidiary also purchased the club’s real estate.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017, and includes, among other items, a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Our federal corporate income tax rate for fiscal 2018 was 24.5% percent and represents a blended income tax rate for the current fiscal year. For fiscal 2019, our federal corporate income tax rate will be 21%. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, we remeasured our deferred tax balances to reflect the reduced rate that will apply when these deferred taxes are settled or realized in future periods. The remeasurement resulted in a $8.7 million one-time adjustment of our net deferred tax liabilities reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 and a corresponding income tax benefit reflected in our consolidated statements of earnings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 which allows companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period that is similar to the measurement period used when accounting for business combinations. While we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Act, adjustments may occur and may be affected by other factors, including, but not limited to, further refinement of our calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions and regulatory changes from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the SEC, the FASB, and various tax jurisdictions. We do not expect any future impact to be material. Income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following (in thousands): Years Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2016 Current Federal $ 2,438 $ 2,989 $ 260 State and local 1,219 1,097 970 Total current income tax expense 3,657 4,086 1,230 Deferred Federal (8,096 ) 1,545 1,110 State and local 1,321 728 33 Total deferred income tax expense (benefit) (6,775 ) 2,273 1,143 Total income tax expense (benefit) $ (3,118 ) $ 6,359 $ 2,373 The Company and its subsidiaries do not operate in tax jurisdictions outside of the United States. Income tax expense (benefit) differs from the “expected” income tax expense computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to earnings before income taxes for the years ended September 30 as a result of the following (in thousands): Years Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2016 Computed expected income tax expense $ 4,576 $ 4,979 $ 4,366 State income taxes, net of federal benefit 804 291 730 Deferred taxes on subsidiaries acquired/sold 709 - (841 ) Permanent differences 85 108 (109 ) Change in deferred tax liability rate (8,832 ) 1,329 - Reserve for uncertain tax position - 406 240 Tax credits (808 ) (564 ) (2,013 ) Other 348 (190 ) - Total income tax expense (benefit) $ (3,118 ) $ 6,359 $ 2,373 During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 the Company deconsolidated three subsidiaries. Two of these subsidiaries were 100 percent owned subsidiaries, 100 percent of the stock of both of these subsidiaries were sold to third parties. The third subsidiary was a 51 percent owned subsidiary that was accounted for under the consolidated method; 31 percent of the 51 percent ownership of the stock was sold during the year to a third party, and the investment is now accounted for under the cost method. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company has elected to account for the deferred taxes on the inside basis differences of all three deconsolidated subsidiaries as a component of the gain or loss on the sale of the shares. All outside basis differences in the investment in subsidiaries stock are accounted for as a component of the tax provision. 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 were as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Patron tax $ 948 $ 1,954 Capital loss carryforwards 763 - Other - 231 1,711 2,185 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangibles (13,110 ) (18,549 ) Property and equipment (7,206 ) (9,177 ) Other (947 ) - (21,263 ) (27,726 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (19,552 ) $ (25,541 ) For the year ended September 30, 2016, income tax expense includes a tax benefit in the amount of $2.0 million representing the net amount to be realized from fiscal year 2016 and from amending certain prior year federal tax returns to take the available FICA tip tax credits which were not taken in prior years. The Company will continue to utilize FICA tip credits in future tax filings. Included in the Company’s deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2018 and 2017 is approximately $16.3 million and $16.3 million, respectively, 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 consolidated 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 accrued liabilities. We recognize penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. During the year ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has accrued $165,000 and $865,000, respectively, (all related to previous years’ taxes) in uncertain state tax positions. In fiscal 2017, the Company also accrued $223,000 and $266,000 in penalties and interest, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. In fiscal 2018, the Company released $700,000 of uncertain tax positions due to a settlement with New York state. The following table shows the changes in the Company’s uncertain tax positions (in thousands): Years Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of year $ 865 $ 240 $ - Additions for tax positions of prior years - 625 240 Released in current year (700 ) - - Balance at end of year $ 165 $ 865 $ 240 The full balance of uncertain tax positions, if recognized, would affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate, net of any federal tax benefits. The Company does not expect any changes that will significantly impact its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states. Fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 remains open to tax examination. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service with no changes. These years are now under examination for payroll taxes. The Company is also being examined for state income taxes, the settlement of which may occur within the next twelve months.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	9. Stock-Based Compensation In 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, shareholders approved amending the 2010 Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold from 500,000 to 800,000. The options granted under the Plans may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified options. The 2010 Plan is 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 not less than 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 2010 Plan. There were no options outstanding as of September 30, 2018 or 2017. In July 2014, the Company granted to an executive officer and an officer of a subsidiary a total of 96,325 shares of restricted stock. The total grant date fair value of all of these awards was $963,000, or $10.00 per share, and vested in two years. Restricted stock awards are awards of common stock that are subject the restrictions on transfer and to a risk of forfeiture if the awardee terminates employment with the Company prior to the lapse of the restrictions. The fair value of such stock was determined using the closing price on the grant date and compensation expense is recorded over the applicable requisite service periods. Forfeitures are recognized as a reversal of expense of any unvested amounts in the period incurred. These restricted stock awards vested in July 2016 at an aggregate intrinsic value of $969,000. There was no restricted stock outstanding as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 amounted to $0, $0, and $360,000, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	10. Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating leases, of which rent expense was approximately $3.8 million, $3.3 million, and $3.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, 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 included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Undiscounted future minimum annual lease obligations as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): 2019 $ 2,796 2020 2,878 2021 2,792 2022 2,744 2023 2,576 Thereafter 21,922 Total future minimum lease obligations $ 35,708 Legal Matters Texas Patron Tax In 2015, the Company reached a settlement with the State of Texas over the payment of the state’s Patron Tax on adult club customers. To resolve the issue of taxes owed, the Company agreed to pay $10.0 million in equal monthly installments of $119,000, without interest, over 84 months, beginning in June 2015, for all but two non-settled locations. The Company agreed to remit the Patron Tax on a monthly basis, based on the current rate of $5 per customer. For accounting purposes, the Company has discounted the $10.0 million at an imputed interest rate of 9.6%, establishing a net present value for the settlement of $7.2 million. As a consequence, the Company has recorded an $8.2 million pre-tax gain for the third quarter ending June 30, 2015, representing the difference between the $7.2 million and the amount previously accrued for the tax. In March 2017, the Company settled with the State of Texas for one of the two remaining unsettled Patron Tax locations. To resolve the issue of taxes owed, the Company agreed to pay a total of $687,815 with $195,815 paid at the time the settlement agreement was executed followed by 60 equal monthly installments of $8,200 without interest. The aggregate balance of Patron Tax settlement liability, which is included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $4.5 million and $5.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A Declaratory judgment action was brought by five operating subsidiaries of the Company to challenge a Texas Comptroller administrative rule related to the $5 per customer Patron Tax Fee assessed against Sexually Oriented Businesses. An administrative rule attempted to expand the fee to cover venues featuring dancers using latex cover as well as traditional nude entertainment. The administrative rule was challenged on both constitutional and statutory grounds. On November 19, 2018, the Court issued an order that a key aspect of the administrative rule is invalid based on it exceeding the scope of the Comptroller’s authority. Constitutional challenges remain and will be resolved at trial. 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 have been filed with the Receiver before the close of business on January 16, 2015 and that all pending lawsuits involving IIC as the insurer were 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 and has provided updates as requested; 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. As of September 30, 2018, we have 2 unresolved claims out of the original 71 claims. General The Company has been sued by a landlord in the 333rd 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 and Plaintiff’s manager asserting that they committed fraud and that the landlord breached the applicable agreements. While the case was tried to a jury in late September 2018, a final judgment has not yet been issued because substantial disputes remain related to the legal impact of the jury’s verdict, and the parties are currently engaged in motion practice to resolve their disputes. It is unknown at this time whether the resolution of this uncertainty will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. On June 23, 2014, Mark H. Dupray and Ashlee Dupray filed a lawsuit against Pedro Antonio Panameno and our subsidiary JAI Dining Services (Phoenix) Inc. (“JAI Phoenix”) in the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa County. The suit alleged that Mr. Panameno injured Mr. Dupray in a traffic accident after being served alcohol at an establishment operated by JAI Phoenix. The suit alleged that JAI Phoenix was liable under theories of common law dram shop negligence and dram shop negligence per se. After a jury trial proceeded to a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs against both defendants, in April 2017 the Court entered a judgment under which JAI Phoenix’s share of compensatory damages is approximately $1.4 million and its share of punitive damages is $4 million. In May 2017, JAI Phoenix filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, motion for new trial. The Court denied this motion in August 2017. In September 2017, JAI Phoenix filed a notice of appeal. In June 2018, the matter was heard by the Arizona Court of Appeals. On November 15, 2018 the Court of Appeals vacated the jury’s verdict and remanded the case to the trial court. It is anticipated that a new trial will occur at some point in the future. JAI Phoenix will continue to vigorously defend itself. Settlement of lawsuits for the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 total $1.7 million, $317,000, and $1.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has accrued $0 and $295,000 in accrued liabilities, respectively, related to settlement of lawsuits.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	13. Acquisitions and Dispositions 2016 Dispositions In September 2016, we sold a 31% interest in Robust for a $2.0 million note back to its former owner, retaining a 20% interest in the business. The sale of the 31% interest resulted in a loss in control of Robust and we recognized a loss of $184,000 at the date of deconsolidation. The loss was measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities over the aggregate of 1) the fair value of the $2 million note received, 2) the fair value of retained non-controlling interest measured at $1.2 million, and 3) the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. At the date of deconsolidation, we no longer held a significant influence in Robust and have accounted for our 20% remaining interest as a cost method investment. See Note 15 for further discussion of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in 2017. In September 2016, the Company sold two adult clubs and closed a Bombshells location. Following are the aggregate details of the sales: ● Sales price — $6.3 million ● Cash received — $3.5 million ● Notes receivable — $2.8 million ● Gain on sale — $1.1 million of adult club ● Loss on closure of Bombshells — $550,000 ● Deferred gain on sale of adult club (gain recognized as note collected) — $399,000 The notes receivable are payable as follows: ● $1.8 million payable at 6% over 240 months. ● $1.0 million payable at 9% over 120 months. The gain/loss on sale transactions above includes a tax benefit of the deferred tax liabilities amounting to $2.5 million, which were released upon the sale of the entities. 2017 Acquisitions On April 26, 2017, subsidiaries of the Company acquired the assets of the Hollywood Showclub in the Greater St. Louis area, as well as the club’s building and land, adjacent land, and a nearby building and land that can be used for another gentlemen’s club. The total purchase price for all the acquired assets and real properties was $4.2 million, paid in cash at closing. The following information summarizes the allocation of fair values assigned to the assets at acquisition date (in thousands): Land and building $ 2,320 Furniture and equipment 141 Noncompete 200 Other assets 74 Goodwill 1,539 Accrued liability (75 ) Net assets $ 4,199 Management believes that the recorded goodwill represents the Company’s expansion into the Greater St. Louis area. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. The goodwill balance of $1.5 million, which was recognized in the Nightclubs segment, is deductible for tax purposes. On May 8, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company acquired the company that owns Scarlett’s Cabaret Miami in Pembroke Park, Florida along with certain related intellectual property for a total consideration of $26.0 million, payable $5.4 million at closing, $5.0 million after six months through a short-term 5% note, and $15.6 million through a 12-year amortizing 8% note. See Note 7. The following information summarizes the allocation of fair values assigned to the assets at acquisition date (in thousands): Inventory $ 109 Leasehold improvements 1,222 Furniture and equipment 633 Noncompete 400 SOB license 20,196 Tradename 2,215 Goodwill 1,177 Net assets $ 25,952 Management believes that the recorded goodwill represents the Company’s strong market positioning in the South Florida area and with its different clientele from Tootsie’s Cabaret, which is five miles away, the two are complementary to each other including management synergies. Goodwill for this acquisition is not amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. The goodwill amount of $1.2 million, which was recognized in the Nightclubs segment, is deductible for tax purposes. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company made an election under IRS Code 338(h)10 to treat the acquisition as an asset purchase for tax purposes. As a result, no deferred taxes were recorded upon acquisition. The Company’s pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions have not been presented because the effect of the acquisitions was not material to our consolidated financial statements. Since the acquisition dates, the two acquisitions generated combined revenues of $5.6 million that are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2017. 2017 Dispositions On January 13, 2017, we closed the sale on one of our non-income-producing properties, included in assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, for $2.2 million in cash, recognizing approximately $116,000 loss on the sale. Proceeds were used to pay off the remaining $1.5 million of a related 11% balloon note, which was due in 2018. The Company paid a $75,000 prepayment penalty to pay off the debt. On June 6, 2017, the Company closed on the sale of another non-income-producing property, included in assets held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, for $1.5 million, recognizing approximately $0.9 million gain on the sale. The buyer owned one of the Company’s notes payable, hence, the Company exchanged the property for a $1.5 million reduction in its note payable. 2018 Acquisitions At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the Company held a $2.0 million note receivable related to the Drink Robust, Inc. (“Drink Robust”) disposition that occurred in September 2016. The note required interest-only monthly payments at a per annum rate of 4% beginning January of 2017 and principal and interest payments due monthly commencing in January 2018 and ending December 2032. Interest payments from January 2017 through December 2017 were made in the form of shares of the common stock of a manufacturing company. Cash was received for the January 2018 principal and interest payment; however, in April of 2018, the Company was informed that the note holder did not intend to make any future principal or interest payments due on the note. The Company had recourse to the personal assets of the note holder in the amount of $500,000 and entered into negotiations for settlement of the note in April of 2018. On April 26, 2018, the Company forgave the $500,000 guaranteed portion of the note for 750,000 shares of common stock of the manufacturing company. Additionally, as part of the settlement, the Company acquired 78.5% of the remaining 80% ownership interest in Drink Robust, bringing its ownership interest to 98.5% with the payment of an outstanding liability to the Drink Robust distributor of $250,000. As a result of the payment, Drink Robust also obtained a three-year exclusive right of distribution for the Robust Energy Drinks in the United States. The Company has made a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the shares of the manufacturing company and the interest acquired in Drink Robust. The preliminary estimate totals $450,000, which is net of the consideration of $250,000 owed to the Drink Robust distributor. As a result of the transaction, the Company impaired $1.55 million of the note receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2018, with a remaining balance of $450,000 recorded within long-term assets at June 30, 2018. The Company accounted for the acquisition in the third quarter of 2018, when the transaction was executed and has finalized its estimate of the fair value of the shares acquired in the transaction, as well as its accounting for such ownership. On May 25, 2018, the Company acquired a club in Kappa, Illinois for $1.5 million, financed by a $1.0 million seller note with interest at 8%. The transaction provides for the purchase of the real estate for $825,000 and other non-real estate business assets for $180,000, with goodwill amounting to $495,000. Since the acquisition date, the acquired club generated revenues of approximately $442,000 that are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2018. On September 6, 2018, a subsidiary acquired the remaining 49% of TEZ Real Estate that it did not own for $1,550,000 in cash. The acquisition was principally funded by a loan on the property from a commercial bank. The Company accounted for the transaction as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 505. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest was adjusted, in the amount of approximately $934,000, was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Related Party Transactions	18. Related Party Transactions Presently, our Chairman and President, Eric Langan, personally guarantees all of the commercial bank indebtedness of the Company. Mr. Langan receives no compensation or other direct financial benefit for any of the guarantees. In August 2011, the Company borrowed $750,000 from a related party. The note bore 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 October 2017. At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the note and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon could have been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share. The note was 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.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	19. Subsequent Events 2019 Acquisitions In November 2018, subsequent to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, we closed on the acquisition of one club in Chicago, Illinois and another club in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The club in Chicago was acquired for a total consideration of $10.5 million with $6.0 million cash paid at closing and the $4.5 million in a 6-year seller financed note with interest at 7%. The Company paid approximately $37,000 in acquisition-related costs for this transaction. The Pittsburgh club was acquired for a total consideration of $15.1 million, with $7.6 million cash paid at closing and two seller notes payable. The first note is 2-year 7% note for $2.0 million, and the second is a 10-year 8% note for $5.5 million. The Company paid approximately $134,000 in acquisition-related costs for this transaction. It is management’s expectation that the purchase price of these acquisitions will be allocated to assets, including land, buildings, inventory, noncompetes, SOB license, and goodwill; however, the final purchase price allocation of the two clubs remains subject to post-closing adjustments until the Company has completed final valuation and accounting for the transactions. 2019 Disposition In October 2018, the Company sold its nightclub in Philadelphia for a total sales price of $1.0 million, payable $375,000 in cash at closing and a 9% note payable over a 10-year period. The note is payable interest-only for twelve months at the conclusion of which time a balloon payment of $250,000 is due, and then the remainder of the principal and interest is payable in 108 equal installments of $5,078 per month until October 2028. The buyer will lease the property from the Company’s real estate subsidiary under the following terms: $36,000 per month lease payments for ten years; renewal option for a succeeding ten years at a minimum of $48,000 per month; lessee has option to purchase the property for $6.0 million during a term beginning November 2023 and expiring in October 2028. The Company recorded a gain on the sale transaction of approximately $890,000. 2019 Financing On November 1, 2018, the Company raised $2.35 million through the issuance of 12% unsecured promissory notes to certain investors, which notes mature on November 1, 2021. The notes pay interest-only in equal monthly installments, with a lump sum principal payment at maturity. Among the promissory notes are two notes with a principal of $450,000 and $200,000. The $450,000 note was in exchange for a $300,000 12% note and the $200,000 note was in exchange for a $100,000 note, both of which were included in the May 1, 2017 financing discussed in Note 7, above. Also included in the $2.35 million borrowing is a $500,000 note borrowed from a related party. On December 6, 2018, the Company amended the $5.0 million short-term note payable related to the Scarlett’s acquisition, which had a remaining balance of $3.0 million as of December 6, 2018, extending the maturity date from May 8, 2019, as previously amended, to May 8, 2020.

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	Accounts and Notes Receivable Accounts receivable for club and restaurant operations are 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 are primarily comprised of receivables for advertising sales and Expo registration. Accounts receivable also include employee advances, construction advances, and other miscellaneous receivables. Long-term notes receivable, which have original maturity of more than one year, include consideration from the sale of certain investment interest entities and real estate. 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 Inventories include alcoholic beverages, energy drinks, 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 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 and equipment have estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years, while leasehold improvements are depreciated at the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. 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, retired or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are written off from the accounts, and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying consolidated statement of income of the respective period. Interest expense during site construction from related debt is capitalized, which amounted to $319,000 in fiscal 2018, $43,000 in fiscal 2017, and $59,000 in fiscal 2016.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other 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. The costs of transferable licenses purchased through open markets are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. The costs of obtaining non-transferable licenses that are directly issued by local government agencies are expensed as incurred. Annual license renewal fees are expensed over their renewal term. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment during our fourth fiscal quarter 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 our goodwill impairment review, we have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. This assessment is based on several factors, including industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, including an assessment of cash flows in comparison to actual and projected results of prior periods. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value based on our qualitative analysis, or if we elect to skip this step, we perform a Step 1 quantitative analysis to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is determined using market-related valuation models, including earnings multiples, discounted cash flows, and comparable asset market values. We recognize goodwill impairment in the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, based on the results of our Step 1 analysis. For the year ended September 30, 2017, we identified four reporting units that were impaired and recognized a goodwill impairment loss totaling $4.7 million. See Note 15. No goodwill impairment was recorded in fiscal 2018 and 2016. For indefinite-lived intangibles, specifically SOB licenses, we determine fair value by estimating the multiperiod excess earnings of the asset. For indefinite-lived tradename, we determine fair value by using the relief from royalty method. The fair value is then compared to the carrying value and an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. We recorded impairment charges for SOB licenses amounting to $3.1 million in 2018 related to three clubs, $1.4 million in 2017 related to two clubs, and $2.1 million in 2016 related to one club, which are included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. See Notes 3 and 15.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset included in the asset group. If the asset group is not recoverable, the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. We define our asset group as an operating club or restaurant location, which is also our reporting unit or the lowest level for which cash flows can be identified. Assets to be disposed of are 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. For assets held for sale, we measure fair value using an estimation based on quoted prices for similar items in active or inactive markets (level 2) developed using observable data. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company impaired one club and one Bombshells for a total of $1.6 million; during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company impaired one club for $385,000; and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a loss on disposal on one property held for sale in Fort Worth, Texas for $1.4 million, which are included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. See Notes 3 and 15.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	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.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is the total of net income or loss and 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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages, food and merchandise, service and other revenues at the point-of-sale upon receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge, net of discounts and promotional allowances. Sales and liquor taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. 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. Other rental revenues are recognized when earned.
Advertising and Marketing	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 selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. See Note 3.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax and income taxes imposed in the state and local jurisdictions where we operate our businesses. 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. U.S. 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. We recognize penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense.
Investments	Investments Investments in companies in which the company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method, which are carried at cost and 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, or where the Company does not exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost and reviewed for any impairment. Cost and equity method investments are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company sold 31% of Drink Robust on September 29, 2016, retaining 20%. Because the Company has no ability to direct the management of the investee company or exert significant influence, the investment is being accounted for at cost beginning on the date of sale. The carrying value of the cost-method investment in Robust was $1.2 million as of September 30, 2016. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we determined our investment in Drink Robust was impaired and recognized an other-than-temporary impairment totaling $1.2 million which brought our carrying value of this investment to zero. In relation to the reacquisition of Drink Robust in 2018, we have consolidated the operations of Drink Robust and eliminated the investment in consolidation. See Note 13.
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings 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 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 earnings per share (“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 or losses (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, 2018 2017 2016 Numerator - Net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders - basic $ 21,713 $ 8,259 $ 11,218 Adjustment to net income from assumed conversion of debentures - 5 153 Adjusted net income attributable to RCIHH shareholders - diluted $ 21,713 $ 8,264 $ 11,371 Denominator - Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic 9,719 9,731 9,941 Effect of potentially dilutive restricted stock, warrants and options - - 60 Effect of potentially dilutive convertible debentures - 12 228 Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted 9,719 9,743 10,229 Basic earnings per share $ 2.23 $ 0.85 $ 1.13 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.23 $ 0.85 $ 1.11 (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. Additional shares for options, warrants and debentures amounting to zero and 72,400 for the year ended September 30, 2017 and, 2016 were not considered since they would be antidilutive. Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 totaling $0, $0, and $0.5 million, respectively, were convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $10.00 to $12.50 in fiscal year 2016. Convertible debentures amounting to $0, $0.9 million, and $0.5 million were dilutive in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
Stock Options	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 and recognized as expense over their requisite service period. 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. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has no stock options outstanding.
Legal and Other Contingencies	Legal and Other Contingencies The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment required in both the probability determination and as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims. The Company recognizes legal fees and expenses, including those related to legal contingencies, as incurred. Generally, the Company recognizes gain contingencies when they are realized or when all related contingencies have been resolved.
Fair Value Accounting	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. U.S. 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 classifies its 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. The Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets, or Level 1 inputs. Available-for-sale securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, had a balance of $760,000 and $80,000 as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company reviews its 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, the Company writes down the cost basis of the security and include the loss in current earnings as opposed to an unrealized holding loss. No losses or other-than-temporary impairments in our marketable securities portfolio were recognized during the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis	Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to tangible property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is included in other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable September 30, Identical Asset Observable Inputs Inputs Description 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Property and equipment, net $ 141 $ - $ - $ 141 Indefinite-lived intangibles 4,618 - - 4,618 Notes receivable 0 - - 0 Goodwill 495 - - 495 Other assets 760 760 - - Fair Value at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable September 30, Identical Asset Observable Inputs Inputs Description 2017 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Goodwill $ 4,572 $ - $ - $ 4,572 Property and equipment, net 4,678 - 4,678 - Indefinite-lived intangibles 25,740 - - 25,740 Definite-lived intangibles 600 - - 600 Unrealized Gain (Impairments) Recognized Years Ended September 30, Description 2018 2017 2016 Goodwill $ - $ (4,697 ) $ - Property and equipment, net (1,615 ) (385 ) - Indefinite-lived intangibles (3,121 ) (1,401 ) (2,092 ) Assets held for sale - - (1,400 ) Other assets 305 (1,156 ) -
