Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 7 —GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In March 2013, the Company determined to reduce its sales and marketing efforts on its wine brands, which do not provide a material contribution to the Company’s results of operations. The Company made this decision to optimize its resources and focus on its faster growing and more profitable spirits brands, and to reduce the levels of working capital required to maintain necessary inventory levels of bulk wine and finished goods. The Company intends to continue selling existing finished goods wine inventory through its current sales channels, but is actively seeking buyers for large lots and for its bulk wine. In connection with this decision, the Company recognized a loss of $1,715,728, consisting of $817,156 on the write-down of net intangible assets and $898,572 in goodwill, as well as $326,869 charged to the provision for obsolete inventory to adjust both bulk wine and finished goods to estimated net realizable value, for the year ended March 31, 2013.
