Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Marketable Securities Marketable securities at March 31, 2013 consist of bond funds. ASC 320, Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires certain investments be recorded at fair value or amortized cost. The appropriate classification of the investments in marketable equity is determined at the time of purchase and re-evaluated at each balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2013, the Company's marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as other comprehensive income within the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cost of marketable securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis. The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices based on Level 1 inputs — quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. There have been no realized gains or losses related to marketable securities for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. Marketable securities held at June 30, 2013 have a cost basis of approximately $500,000.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Fair Value Accounting In December 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value, and expands fair value disclosure requirements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. For financial assets and liabilities, ASC 820 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which required the Company to adopt these provisions in fiscal 2009. For nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which required the Company to adopt these provisions in fiscal 2010. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
| · | Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| · | Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
| · | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company's derivative liabilities have been measured principally utilizing Level 2 inputs. 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 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. As of June 30, 2013, available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:
|  |  |  |  | Gross |  |  |  |
(in thousands) |  | Cost |  | Unrealized |  | Fair |
Available for Sale |  | Basis |  | Gains |  | Value |
Tax-Advantaged Bond Fund |  | $ | 500 |  | $ | 51 |  | $ | 551 |
In accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities , 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 for other than temporary impairments in the Company's marketable securities portfolio were recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
(in thousands) |  | Carrying |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
June 30, 2013 |  | Amount |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |
Marketable securities |  | $ | 551 |  | $ | 551 |  | $ | - |  | $ | - |
(in thousands) |  | Carrying |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
September 30, 2012 |  | Amount |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |
Marketable securities |  | $ | 1,059 |  | $ | 1,059 |  | $ | - |  | $ | - |
Derivative liability |  | $ | 75 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 75 |  | $ | - |
Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Discontinued Operations In March 2011, the Company made the decision to sell its Las Vegas location and, in April 2011, sharply reduced its operations in order to eliminate losses as it sought a buyer for the club. The Company believes that it has done everything possible to make this location viable since its acquisition in 2008 and now believes it is in its shareholders' best interests not to continue these efforts. The club was shuttered and the landlord took over the property in June 2011. Therefore, this club is recognized as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In August 2011, the Company sold a controlling portion of the membership interest in the entity that previously operated its Rick's Cabaret in Austin, Texas. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the subsidiary and carried it as an equity-method investment. The Company had not received any cash flows from the entity since the sale and did not anticipate any in the near future. A new nightclub has not been opened in the space since the Company sold its controlling interest. In June 2013, the Company sold the remaining portion of its membership interest in the entity to a third party and recognized a gain of approximately $2,300 on the sale. Accordingly, the club is recognized as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We closed our Divas Latinas club in Houston during September 2010. This club is recognized in discontinued operations.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for any discontinued operations. The results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if both: (a) the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. If the entity elects to allocate interest expense to a discontinued operation, it may disclose its accounting policy for this election and describe its method of allocation. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 205 -SubTopic 20 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2122178 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 205 -SubTopic 20 -Section S99 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=26872618&loc=d3e7436-122677 + Details
