Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Background and Basis of Presentation | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Live Ventures, Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). Commencing in fiscal year 2015, the Company began a strategic shift in its business plan away from providing online marketing solutions for small and medium business to acquiring profitable companies in various industries that have demonstrated a strong history of earnings power. The Company continues to actively develop, revise and evaluate its products, services and its marketing strategies in its businesses. The Company has three operating segments Manufacturing, Retail and Online – (our new name for - Marketplace Platform segment) and Services. With Marquis Industries, Inc., the Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet and the sale of vinyl and wood floorcoverings. With its acquisition of Vintage Stock, Inc., the Company has expanded its engagement in the retail space with the sale of new and used movies, music, collectibles, comics, books, games, game systems and components. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for three months and six months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of September 30, 2016 and for the fiscal year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017. All data for common stock, options and warrants have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split (which took effect on December 5, 2016) for all periods presented. In addition, all common stock prices, and per share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split.
