Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and results in either a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year. References to years in this report relate to fiscal years, rather than to calendar years. The Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, fiscal 2016, ended on January 28, 2017, and consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal 2015 ended on January 30, 2016 and consisted of 52 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped or when services are provided. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized as merchandise is shipped and are classified as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company classifies shipping and handling costs in the accompanying statements of operations as a component of cost of sales. Revenue is reported net of estimated sales returns and excludes sales taxes. Sales returns are estimated and provided for at the time of sale based on historical experience.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers for merchandise sales and from credit card companies, and are reflected net of reserves for estimated uncollectible amounts of $6,022,000 at January 28, 2017 and $6,870,000 at January 30, 2016. The Company utilizes an installment payment program called ValuePay that entitles customers to purchase merchandise and generally pay for the merchandise in two or more equal monthly credit card installments. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $91,839,000 and $108,921,000, respectively, of net receivables due from customers under the ValuePay installment program. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Provision for doubtful accounts receivable primarily related to the Company’s ValuePay program were $11,949,000, $11,795,000 and $13,007,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.
Cost of Sales and Other Operating Expenses
Cost of sales includes primarily the cost of merchandise sold, shipping and handling costs, inbound freight costs, excess and obsolete inventory charges, distribution facility depreciation and customer courtesy credits. Purchasing and receiving costs, including costs of inspection, are included as a component of distribution and selling expense and were approximately $9,557,000, $10,730,000 and $10,984,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. Distribution and selling expense consist primarily of cable and satellite access fees, credit card fees, bad debt expense and costs associated with purchasing and receiving, inspection, marketing and advertising, show production, website marketing and merchandising, telemarketing, customer service, warehousing and fulfillment. General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with executive, legal, accounting and finance, information systems and human resources departments, software and system maintenance contracts, insurance, investor and public relations and director fees.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on deposit. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions in demand deposit accounts that are federally insured. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.
Restricted Cash and Investments
The Company had restricted cash and investments of $450,000 for both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash and investments consist of certificates of deposit. Interest income is recognized when earned.
Inventories
Inventories, which consists of consumer merchandise held for resale, are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, giving consideration to obsolescence provision write downs of $5,589,000, $7,172,000 and $3,838,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.
Marketing and Advertising Costs
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of contractual marketing fees paid to certain cable operators for cross channel promotions and online advertising, including amounts paid to online search engine operators and customer mailings. Total marketing and advertising costs and online search marketing fees totaled $3,723,000, $3,300,000 and $1,946,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. The Company includes advertising costs as a component of distribution and selling expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Improvements and renewals that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the related accounts, and any residual values are charged or credited to operations. Depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes are provided on the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives. Costs incurred to develop software for internal use and for the Company’s websites are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs related to maintenance of internal-use software and for the Company’s website are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s primary identifiable intangible assets include an FCC broadcast license; an Evine trademark and brand name; and an acquired online watch retailer customer list and trade name. Identifiable intangibles with finite lives are amortized and those identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events warrant. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation is recognized for all stock-based compensation arrangements by the Company, including employee and non-employee stock options granted. The estimated grant date fair value of each stock-based award is recognized as compensation over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The estimated fair value of each option is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for time-based vesting awards and a Monte Carlo valuation model for market-based vesting awards.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method of accounting whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment of such laws. The Company assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within income tax expense.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing reported loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during reported periods.
A reconciliation of net loss per share calculations and the number of shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share is as follows:

(a) The net losses for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 includes executive and management transition costs of $4,411,000, $3,549,000 and $5,520,000, respectively. In addition, fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 includes distribution facility consolidation and technology upgrade costs of $677,000 and $1,347,000, respectively. The net loss for fiscal 2014 includes activist shareholder response charges $3,518,000.
(b) For fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, approximately 119,000, -0- and 3,118,000, respectively, incremental in-the-money potentially dilutive common share stock options and, with respect to fiscal 2016, warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. GAAP excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair values for financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value for cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities, due to the short maturities of those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s $85 million Credit Facilities are estimated based on rates available to the Company for issuance of debt. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, the Company's Credit Facilities had a carrying amount and an estimated fair value of $85 million and $72 million, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to the Company's tangible fixed assets and intangible FCC broadcasting license asset, which are remeasured when estimated fair value is below carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust its carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is recorded as a loss within operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company had no remeasurements of such assets or liabilities to fair value during fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during reporting periods. These estimates relate primarily to the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and inventories, the realizability of certain long-term assets and the recorded balances of certain accrued liabilities and reserves. Ultimate results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, Subtopic 835-30 (Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, applying it retrospectively. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016 reflects the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $266,000 from other assets to long term credit facilities. The amount of debt issuance costs included in long term credit facilities as of January 28, 2017 was $1.4 million. In August 2015, the FASB issued Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Subtopic 835-30 (ASU No. 2015-15), which clarifies that absent authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the revolving line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit arrangement. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, debt issuance costs of $589,000 and $694,000, respectively, related to our PNC Credit Agreement revolving line of credit were included within other assets. We continue to include these costs within other assets, amortizing them over the term of the PNC Credit Agreement.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Subtopic 205-40 (ASU No. 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosures are required.  The Company adopted this standard during the year ended January 28, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, Topic 740 (ASU No 2015-17). ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, applying it retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (ASU No. 2014-09), which provides a framework for the recognition of revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. The guidance, also includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The standard will now become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this ASU, related amendments and interpretive guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, financial systems and controls. In addition, we are still determining the application of several aspects of the ASU, including; principal versus agent, identification of performance obligations, the determination of when control of goods transfers to our customers, our transition method and related disclosure requirements.
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, Topic 330 (ASU No 2015-11). ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Leases, Topic 842 (ASU No 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Compensation-Stock Compensation, Topic 718 (ASU No. 2016-09). This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. In addition, the ASU also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and has elected to continue estimating forfeitures each period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Cash Flows, Topic 230 (ASU No. 2016-15). This amendment provides guidance on the presentation and classification of specific cash flow items to improve consistency in practice. The new standard is effective retrospectively for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company annually reviews its FCC television broadcast license for impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an impairment indicator is present. As of January 28, 2017, the Company had an intangible FCC broadcasting license with a carrying value and fair value of $12,000,000 and $13,400,000, respectively. As of January 30, 2016, the Company had an intangible FCC broadcasting license with a carrying value and fair value of $12,000,000 and $12,900,000, respectively.
The Company estimates the fair value of its FCC television broadcast license primarily by using income-based discounted cash flow models with the assistance of an independent outside fair value consultant. The Company also considers comparable asset market and sales data for recent comparable market transactions for standalone television broadcasting stations to assist in determining fair value. The discounted cash flow models utilize a range of assumptions including revenues, operating profit margin, projected capital expenditures and an unobservable discount rate of 10.0%. The Company concluded that the inputs used in its intangible FCC broadcasting license valuation at January 28, 2017 are Level 3 inputs related to this valuation.
While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions regarding the valuation of the license are reasonable, different assumptions or future events could materially affect its valuation. In addition, due to the illiquid nature of this asset, the Company's valuation for this license could be materially different if it were to decide to sell it in the short term which, upon revaluation, could result in a future impairment of this asset.
On December 16, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Princeton Enterprises, LTD (dba Princeton Watches, "Princeton Watches"), an online retail enterprise engaged in the sale of watches, clocks and related accessories. The Company acquired substantially all of Princeton's assets and select liabilities. The assets acquired include the Princeton Watches trade name and Princeton Watches customer list valued at $336,000 and $347,000, respectively, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 15 and five years, respectively. The acquisition of Princeton will help expand on the Company's strong watch and clock offerings as well as broaden the Company's online distribution channels. See Note 11 for additional information.
On November 18, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dollars Per Minute, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DPM") to purchase certain assets of DPM, including the Evine trademark. As consideration for the purchase of this trademark, the Company issued 178,842 unregistered shares of our common stock, which represented an aggregate value of $1,044,000 based on the closing price of our common stock on November 13, 2014, $20,000 in cash consideration and incurred $39,000 in professional fees associated with acquiring the asset.
Amortization expense in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $91,000, $62,000 and $18,000, respectively. Estimated amortization expense is $165,000 for each fiscal year through fiscal 2020 and $156,000 for fiscal 2021.

EVINE Private Label Consumer Credit Card Program
Evine Private Label Consumer Credit Card Program
Evine Private Label Consumer Credit Card Program
The Company has a private label consumer credit card program (the "Program"). The Program is made available to all qualified consumers for the financing of purchases of products from Evine. The Program provides a number of benefits to customers including instant purchase credits and free or reduced shipping promotions throughout the year. Use of the Evine credit card furthers customer loyalty, reduces total credit card expense and reduces the Company’s overall bad debt exposure since the credit card issuing bank bears the risk of loss on Evine credit card transactions that do not utilize the Company's ValuePay installment payment program. In December 2011, the Company entered into a Private Label Consumer Credit Card Program Agreement Amendment with Synchrony Financial, formerly known as GE Capital Retail Bank, extending the Program for an additional seven years until 2018. The Company received a $500,000 signing bonus as an incentive for the Company to extend the Program. The signing bonus has been recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying financial statements and is being recognized as revenue over the seven-year term of the agreement.
Synchrony Financial, the issuing bank for the Program, was previously indirectly majority-owned by the General Electric Company ("GE"), which is also the parent company of GE Equity. Prior to the sale of Evine common stock to ASF Radio on April 29, 2016, GE Equity had a beneficial ownership in Evine and had certain rights as further described in Note 19, "Related Party Transactions".
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement), then priority to quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market (Level 2 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 the Company had $450,000 in Level 2 investments in the form of bank certificates of deposit. The Company's investments in certificates of deposits were measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 investments. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 the Company also had long-term variable rate Credit Facilities, classified as Level 2, with carrying values of $85,388,000 and $72,414,000, respectively. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, respectively, $3,242,000 and $2,143,000 was classified as current. The fair value of the variable rate Credit Facilities approximates and is based on its carrying value. The Company has no Level 3 investments that use significant unobservable inputs.
Non Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value - Nonrecurring Basis
As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 the Company had an intangible FCC broadcasting license asset with a carrying value of $12,000,000. The Company estimates the fair value of its FCC television broadcast license asset primarily by using income-based discounted cash flow models. In determining fair value, the Company considered, among other factors, the advice of an independent outside fair value consultant. The discounted cash flow models utilize a range of assumptions including revenues, operating profit margin, projected capital expenditures and an unobservable input discount rate of 10.0%. The Company concluded that the inputs used in its intangible FCC broadcasting license asset valuation are Level 3 inputs.

PNC Credit Facility
On February 9, 2012, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement (as amended through March 21, 2017, the "PNC Credit Facility") with PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC"), a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., as lender and agent. The PNC Credit Facility, which includes The Private Bank as part of the facility, provides a revolving line of credit of $90.0 million and provides for a $15.0 million term loan on which the Company has drawn to fund improvements at the Company's distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The PNC Credit Facility also provides an accordion feature that would allow the Company to expand the size of the revolving line of credit by another $25.0 million at the discretion of the lenders and upon certain conditions being met.
All borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility mature and are payable on May 1, 2020. Subject to certain conditions, the PNC Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $6.0 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the PNC Credit Facility. Maximum borrowings and available capacity under the revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility are equal to the lesser of $90.0 million or a calculated borrowing base comprised of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The PNC Credit Facility is secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s personal property, as well as the Company’s real properties located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Bowling Green, Kentucky up to $13 million. Under certain circumstances, the borrowing base may be adjusted if there were to be a significant deterioration in value of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory.
The revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of between 3% and 4.5% based on the Company's trailing twelve-month reported EBITDA (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) measured quarterly in fiscal 2016 and semi-annually thereafter as demonstrated in its financial statements. The term loan bears interest at either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus a margin consisting of between 4% and 5% on Base Rate term loans and 5% to 6% on LIBOR Rate term loans based on the Company’s leverage ratio as demonstrated in its audited financial statements.
As of January 28, 2017, the Company had borrowings of $59.9 million under its revolving credit facility. Remaining available capacity under the revolving credit facility as of January 28, 2017 is approximately $19.8 million, and provides liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes. The PNC Credit Facility also provides for a $15.0 million term loan on which the Company has drawn to fund an expansion and improvements at the Company's distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky. As of January 28, 2017, there was approximately $10.6 million outstanding under the PNC Credit Facility term loan of which $2.3 million was classified as current in the accompanying balance sheet.
Principal borrowings under the term loan are to be payable in monthly installments over an 84-month amortization period commencing on January 1, 2015 and are also subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, upon receipt of certain proceeds from dispositions of collateral. Borrowings under the term loan are also subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of excess cash flow for such fiscal year, with any such payment not to exceed $2.0 million in any such fiscal year. The PNC Credit Facility is also subject to other mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances. In addition, if the total PNC Credit Facility is terminated prior to maturity, the Company would be required to pay an early termination fee of 1.0% if terminated on or before October 8, 2017, 0.5% if terminated on or before October 8, 2018; and no fee if terminated after October 8, 2018. As of January 28, 2017, the imputed effective interest rate on the PNC term loan was 7.6%.
Interest expense recorded under the PNC Credit Facility was $3,819,000, $2,702,000 and $1,554,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.
The PNC Credit Facility contains customary covenants and conditions, including, among other things, maintaining a minimum of unrestricted cash plus facility availability of $10.0 million at all times and limiting annual capital expenditures. As our unused line availability was greater than $10.0 million at January 28, 2017, no additional cash was required to be restricted. Certain financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA levels (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, become applicable only if unrestricted cash plus facility availability falls below $18.0 million. As of January 28, 2017, the Company's unrestricted cash plus facility availability was $52.5 million and the Company was in compliance with applicable financial covenants of the PNC Credit Facility and expects to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months. In addition, the PNC Credit Facility places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or prepay existing indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to common shareholders.
Costs incurred to obtain amendments to the PNC Credit Facility totaling $1,181,000 and unamortized costs incurred to obtain the original PNC Credit Facility totaling $466,000 have been deferred and are being expensed as additional interest over the five-year term of the PNC Credit Facility.
GACP Credit Agreement
On March 10, 2016, the Company entered into a term loan credit and security agreement (as amended through March 21, 2017, the "GACP Credit Agreement") with GACP Finance Co., LLC ("GACP") for a term loan of $17.0 million. Proceeds from the GACP Term Loan will be used to provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and to help strengthen the Company's total liquidity position. The term loan under the GACP Credit Agreement (the "GACP Term Loan") is secured on a first lien priority basis by the proceeds of any sale of the Company's Boston television station FCC license and on a second lien priority basis by the Company's accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and certain real estate as well as other assets as described in the GACP Credit Agreement. The Company has also pledged the stock of certain subsidiaries to secure such obligations on a second lien priority basis.
The GACP Credit Agreement matures on March 9, 2021. The GACP Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a fixed rate based on the greater of LIBOR for interest periods of one, two or three months or 1% plus a margin of 11.0%, or (ii) a daily floating Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 10.0%. As of January 28, 2017, the imputed effective interest rate on the GACP term loan was 14.8%.
Principal borrowings under the GACP Term Loan are to be payable in consecutive monthly installments of $70,833 each, commencing on April 1, 2016, with a final installment due at the end of the five- year term equal to the aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding on such date. The GACP Term Loan is also subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances, including, but without limitation, from the proceeds of the sale of collateral assets and from 50% of annual excess cash flow as defined in the GACP Credit Agreement. The GACP Term Loan can be prepaid voluntarily at any time and, if terminated prior to maturity, the Company would be required to pay an early termination fee of 3.0% if terminated on or before March 10, 2017; 2.0% if terminated on or before March 10, 2018; 1.0% if terminated on or before March 10, 2019; and no fee if terminated after March 10, 2019. Interest expense recorded under the GACP Credit Agreement was $2,099,000 for fiscal 2016.
The GACP Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and conditions, including, among other things, maintaining a minimum of unrestricted cash plus revolving line of credit availability under the PNC Credit Facility of $10.0 million at all times and limiting annual capital expenditures. Certain financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA levels (as defined in the GACP Credit Agreement) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, become applicable only if unrestricted cash plus revolving line of credit availability under the PNC Credit Facility falls below $18.0 million. In addition, the GACP Credit Agreement places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or prepay existing indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to common shareholders.
Costs incurred to obtain the GACP Credit Agreement totaling $1,556,000 have been deferred and are being expensed as additional interest over the five-year term of the GACP Credit Agreement.

Prepayment on GACP Credit Agreement and PNC Credit Facility Maturity Extension
Subsequent to year end, on March 21, 2017, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $9,500,000 on its GACP Term Loan. The principal payment was funded by a combination of cash on hand and $6,000,000 from the Company’s lower interest PNC Credit Facility term loan. The PNC Credit Facility term loan funding was obtained by entering into the Eighth Amendment to the PNC Credit Facility, which among other things, authorized an increase of $6,000,000 to the term loan, extended the term of the PNC Credit Facility from May 1, 2020 to March 22, 2022, and authorized the proceeds from the term loan to be used for a voluntary prepayment of the GACP Term Loan.

Dividends
The Company has never declared or paid any dividends with respect to its capital stock. The Company is restricted from paying dividends on its stock by its Credit Facilities.
Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreements
On September 14, 2016, the Company entered into private placement securities purchase agreements ("Purchase Agreements") with certain accredited investors to which the Company: (a) sold, in the aggregate, 5,952,381 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $1.68 per share; (b) issued five-year warrants ("Warrants") to purchase 2,976,190 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.90 per share, and (c) issued an option by which certain investors may purchase additional shares of Company's common stock and additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock ("Options").
The Company received gross proceeds of $10.0 million and incurred approximately $852,000 of issuance costs. The Warrants will expire on September 19, 2021 and were not exercisable until March 19, 2017. The term of each option is six months and expire on March 19, 2017, provided, however, that an option may not be exercised for the first 30 days following issuance. Each option may only be exercised once, in whole or in part, and the future potential investment offering will have a price equal to the five-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company's common stock as of the day immediately prior to exercise. Upon exercise of the Options, two-thirds of the option securities will be issued in the form of common stock, and one-third will be issued in the form of warrants ("Option Warrants"). These Option Warrants will have an exercise price at a 50% premium to the Company's closing stock price one-day prior to the option exercise and will expire five years after issuance. If all of the Warrants, Options and Option Warrants issued by the Company are all exercised, the total shares of common stock issued in connection with this offering will not be more than approximately 19.99% of the Company's total issued and outstanding shares following such exercises.
The Company allocated the $10 million proceeds of the stock offering to each of the issued freestanding financial instruments based on their fair value at the time of issuance. The Warrants are indexed to the Company's publicly traded stock and were classified as equity. As a result, the portion of the proceeds allocated to the fair value of the Warrants was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Options was determined to be nominal. The par value of the shares issued was recorded within common stock, with the remainder of the proceeds, less offering costs, recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company's balance sheet. The Company plans to use the proceeds for general working capital purposes.
As part of the Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock sold in the private placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Options and Option Warrants. Specifically, the Company agreed to (i) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the registrable securities within 30 days after the closing date; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the initial filing, and in any event no later than 90 days after the closing date (or 120 days in the event of a full review of the shelf registration statement by the SEC); and (iii) keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of the second anniversary of the closing or such time as all registrable securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, without the need for current public information or other restriction. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the common stock sold in the private placement and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and Options.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, three investors exercised their Options. These exercises resulted in our issuance, in the aggregate, of (a) 1,646,350 shares of our common stock at a price ranging from $1.20 - $1.94 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $2.5 million; and (b) five-year warrants to purchase an additional 823,175 shares of our common stock at an exercise price ranging from $1.76 - $3.00 per share and expire between November 10, 2021 and January 23, 2022. The Company incurred, in the aggregate, approximately $49,000 of issuance costs related to the Options exercised during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
Stock Purchase from NBCU
On January 31, 2017, subsequent to fiscal 2016, the Company purchased from NBCU 4,400,000 shares of Evine's common stock for approximately $4.9 million or $1.12 per share pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement. Following the Company's share purchase, the direct equity ownership of NBCU in the Company consisted of 2,741,849 shares of common stock, or 4.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Upon the settlement, the NBCU Shareholder Agreement (as further described in Note 19) was terminated pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement.
Stock-Based Compensation - Stock Options
Compensation is recognized for all stock-based compensation arrangements by the Company. Stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 related to stock option awards was $522,000, $611,000 and $2,537,000, respectively. The Company has not recorded any income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options due to the uncertainty of realizing income tax benefits in the future.
As of January 28, 2017, the Company had one omnibus stock plan for which stock awards can be currently granted: the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan that provides for the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of the Company's stock. The 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan expired on June 22, 2014. No further awards may be made under the 2004 Omnibus Plan, but any award granted under the 2004 Omnibus Plan and outstanding on June 22, 2014 will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. The 2001 Omnibus Stock Plan expired on June 21, 2011. No further awards may be made under the 2001 Omnibus Plan, but any award granted under the 2001 Omnibus Plan and outstanding on June 21, 2011 will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. The 2011 plan is administered by the human resources and compensation committee of the board of directors and provides for awards for employees, directors and consultants. All employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the plan. The types of awards that may be granted under this plan include restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, incentive and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees at such exercise prices as the human resources and compensation committee may determine but not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant. No incentive stock option may be granted more than 10 years after the effective date of the respective plan's inception or be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Options granted to outside directors are nonstatutory stock options with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant. With the exception of market-based options, options granted generally vest over three years in the case of employee stock options and vest immediately on the date of grant in the case of director options, and have contractual terms of 10 years from the date of grant.
The fair value of each time-based vesting option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method taking into consideration the option's contractual life and vesting terms. The Company uses the simplified method in estimating its expected option term because it believes that historical exercise data cannot be accurately relied upon at this time to provide a reasonable basis for estimating an expected term due to the extreme volatility of its stock price and the resulting unpredictability of its stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yields were not used in the fair value computations as the Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain earnings for use in operations.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $0.96, $3.95 and $3.92, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $0, $1,441,000 and $6,099,000, respectively. As of January 28, 2017, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $1,190,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.
Stock Option Tax Benefit
The exercise of certain stock options granted under the Company’s stock option plans give rise to compensation, which is included in the taxable income of the applicable employees and deductible by the Company for federal and state income tax purposes. Such compensation results from increases in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock subsequent to the date of grant of the applicable exercised stock options and these increases are not recognized as an expense for financial accounting purposes, as the options were originally granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The related tax benefits will be recorded if and when realized, and totaled $0, $526,000 and $1,129,000 in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. The Company has not recorded any income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options through paid in capital in these fiscal years, due to the uncertainty of realizing income tax benefits in the future. These benefits are expected to be recorded in the applicable future periods.
Stock-Based Compensation - Restricted Stock
Compensation expense recorded in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 relating to restricted stock grants was $1,424,000, $1,664,000 and $1,323,000, respectively. As of January 28, 2017, there was $1,594,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The total fair value of restricted stock vested during fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $761,000, $378,000 and $1,136,000, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company granted a total of 10,000 shares of time-based restricted stock awards to a certain key employee as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The restricted stock will vest in three equal annual installments beginning in December 2017. The aggregate market value of the restricted stock at the date of the award was $21,000 and is being amortized as compensation expense over the three-year vesting period. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company also granted a total of 20,045 shares of restricted stock to a new board member as part of the Company's annual director compensation program. This restricted stock award vests on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders following the date of grant.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, Robert Rosenblatt was appointed as permanent Chief Executive Officer and entered into an executive employment agreement. In conjunction with the employment agreement, the Company granted, to Mr. Rosenblatt, 231,799 shares of market-based restricted stock performance units as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The number of restricted stock units earned is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a group of industry peers over a three-year performance measurement period. The total grant date fair value was estimated to be $422,000, or $1.82 per share and is being amortized over the three-year performance period. Grant date fair values were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on assumptions, which included a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.76%, a weighted average expected life of three years and an implied volatility of 77%. The percent of the target market-based performance vested restricted stock unit award that will be earned based on the Company's TSR relative to the peer group is as follows:

On August 18, 2016 the Company granted an additional 625,000 shares of restricted stock in conjunction with Mr. Rosenblatt's employment agreement. The restricted stock award vests in three tranches. Tranche 1 (one-third of the shares subject to the award) vested on the date of grant. Tranche 2 (one-third) will vest on the date the Company's average closing stock price for 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $4.00 per share and the executive has been continuously employed at least one year. Tranche 3 (one-third) will vest on the date the Company's average closing stock price for 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $6.00 per share and the executive has been continuously employed at least two years. The vesting of the second and third tranches can occur any time on or before the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The total grant date fair value was estimated to be $958,000 and is being amortized over the derived service periods for each tranche.
Grant date fair values and derived service periods for each tranche were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on assumptions, which included a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.5%, a weighted average expected life of 1.2 years and an implied volatility of 86% and were as follows for each tranche:

Business Acquisition
Business Acquisition [Text Block]
Business Acquisition
On December 16, 2016, Evine entered into an asset purchase agreement and acquired substantially all the assets and select liabilities of Princeton Enterprises, LTD (dba Princeton Watches, "Princeton"), an online retail enterprise engaged in the sale of watches, clocks and related accessories. The acquisition of Princeton will help expand on the Company's strong watch and clock offerings as well as broaden the Company's online distribution channels.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed pursuant to the asset purchase agreement based on fair values at the acquisition date. The operating results of Princeton have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since December 16, 2016, the date of acquisition. The supplementary proforma information, assuming this acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the prior periods, and the operations of Princeton for the period from the December 16, 2016 acquisition date through the end of fiscal 2016 were immaterial.
The terms of the asset purchase agreement included an upfront cash payment of $508,000, a working capital holdback of $67,000 together with earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in two annual installments based on Princeton's EBITDA for each of two years after the closing date.
The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred as of the acquisition date:

Based on the Company’s recent history of losses, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 in accordance with GAAP, which places primary importance on the Company’s most recent operating results when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends on the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, as well as the timing of such income. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the allowance. As of January 28, 2017, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $326 million and state NOLs of approximately $262 million which are available to offset future taxable income. The Company's federal NOLs expire in varying amounts each year from 2023 through 2036 in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations and the timing of when the NOLs were incurred.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had a change in ownership (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) as a result of the issuance of common stock coupled with the redemption of all the Series B preferred stock held by GE Equity. Sections 382 and 383 limit the annual utilization of certain tax attributes, including NOL carryforwards, incurred prior to a change in ownership. Currently, the limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383 are not expected to impair the Company's ability to fully realize its NOLs; however, the annual usage of NOLs incurred prior to the change in ownership is limited. In addition, if the Company were to experience another ownership change, as defined by Sections 382 and 383, its ability to utilize its NOLs could be further substantially limited and depending on the severity of the annual NOL limitation, the Company could permanently lose its ability to use a significant amount of its accumulated NOLs.
For the years ended January 28, 2017, January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015, the income tax provision included a non-cash tax charge of approximately $788,000, for each fiscal year, relating to changes in the Company's long-term deferred tax liability related to the tax amortization of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible FCC license asset that is not available to offset existing deferred tax assets in determining changes to the Company's income tax valuation allowance.
As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, there were no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, a tabular reconciliation from beginning to ending periods is not provided. Further, to date, there have been no interest or penalties charged or accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company will classify any future interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense if incurred. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxation and the taxing authorities of various states. The Company’s tax years for 2013, 2014, and 2015 are currently subject to examination by taxing authorities. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.
Shareholder Rights Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan to preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses. On July 10, 2015, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 23, 2015 and issuable as of that date. On July 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a national banking association, with respect to the Rights. Except in certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Plan, each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (“Preferred Stock” and each one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, a “Unit”) at a price of $9.00 per Unit.
The Rights initially trade together with the common stock and are not exercisable. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Plan, the Rights will separate from the common stock and become exercisable following (i) the tenth calendar day after a public announcement or filing that a person or group has become an “Acquiring Person,” which is defined as a person who has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the common stock then outstanding, subject to certain exceptions, or (ii) the tenth calendar day (or such later date as may be determined by the board of directors) after any person or group commences a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right will entitle its holders (other than such Acquiring Person) to purchase one Unit at a price of $9.00 per Unit. A Unit is intended to give the shareholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as would one share of Common Stock, and should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock. At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person, the board of directors may exchange all or part of the outstanding Rights (other than those held by an Acquiring Person) for shares of common stock at an exchange rate of one share of common stock (and, in certain circumstances, a Unit) for each Right. The Company will promptly give public notice of any exchange (although failure to give notice will not affect the validity of the exchange).
The Rights will expire upon certain events described in the Rights Plan, including the close of business on the date of the third annual meeting of shareholders following the last annual meeting of shareholders of the Company at which the Rights Plan was most recently approved by shareholders, unless the Rights Plan is re-approved by shareholders at that third annual meeting of shareholders.  However, in no event will the Rights Plan expire later than the close of business on July 13, 2025. The Rights Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders.
Until the close of business on the tenth calendar day after the day a public announcement or a filing is made indicating that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion amend the Rights or the Rights Plan agreement without the approval of any holders of the Rights or shares of common stock in any manner, including without limitation, amendments that increase or decrease the purchase price or redemption price or accelerate or extend the final expiration date or the period in which the Rights may be redeemed. The Company may also amend the Rights Plan after the close of business on the tenth calendar day after the day such public announcement or filing is made to cure ambiguities, to correct defective or inconsistent provisions, to shorten or lengthen time periods under the Rights Plan or in any other manner that does not adversely affect the interests of holders of the Rights. No amendment of the Rights Plan may extend its expiration date.
In connection with the issuance, administration and monitoring of the Plan, the Company incurred $446,000 of professional fees, included within general and administrative expense, during fiscal 2015.
Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies
Cable and Satellite Affiliation Agreements
As of January 28, 2017, the Company has entered into distribution agreements with cable operators, direct-to-home satellite providers and telecommunications companies to distribute our television network over their systems. The terms of the affiliation agreements typically range from one to five years. During the fiscal year, certain agreements with cable, satellite or other distributors may expire. Under certain circumstances, the television operators or the Company may cancel the agreements prior to their expiration. Additionally, the Company may elect not to renew distribution agreements whose terms result in sub-standard or negative contribution margins. The affiliation agreements generally provide that the Company will pay each operator a monthly access fee and in some cases a marketing support payment based on the number of homes receiving the Company's programming. For fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively, the Company expensed approximately $98,317,000, $100,830,000 and $98,581,000 under these affiliation agreements.
Over the past years, each of the material cable and satellite distribution agreements up for renewal has been renegotiated and renewed. Failure to maintain the cable agreements covering a material portion of the Company’s existing cable households on acceptable financial and other terms could adversely affect future growth, sales revenues and earnings unless the Company is able to arrange for alternative means of broadly distributing its television programming. Cable operators serving a large majority of cable households offer cable programming on a digital basis. The use of digital compression technology provides cable companies with greater channel capacity. While greater channel capacity increases the opportunity for distribution and, in some cases, reduces access fees paid by us, it also may adversely impact the Company's ability to compete for television viewers to the extent it results in less desirable channel positioning for us, placement of the Company's programming in separate programming tiers, the broadcast of additional competitive channels or viewer fragmentation due to a greater number of programming alternatives.
The Company has entered into, and will continue to enter into, affiliation agreements with other television operators providing for full- or part-time carriage of the Company’s television shopping programming.

Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with some of its on-air hosts with original terms of 12 months with automatic annual one-year renewals and with the chief executive officer of the Company with an original term of 24 months followed by automatic one-year renewals. These agreements specify, among other things, the term and duties of employment, compensation and benefits, termination of employment (including for cause, which would reduce the Company’s total obligation under these agreements), severance payments and non-disclosure and non-compete restrictions. The aggregate commitment for future base compensation related to these agreements at January 28, 2017 was approximately $2,686,000.
On August 18, 2016, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Mr. Rosenblatt, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Among other things, the employment agreement provides for a two-year initial term, followed by automatic one-year renewals, an initial base salary of $750,000, annual bonus stipulations, a temporary living expense allowance and participation in the Company's executive relocation program. In conjunction with the employment agreement, the Company granted Mr. Rosenblatt an award of restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units and incentive stock options under the Company's 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan with an aggregate fair value of $1.8 million. The chief executive officer’s employment agreement also provides for severance in the event of employment termination of (i) 1.5 times the amount of his base salary, plus (ii) one times his target bonus. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the agreement, the severance shall be two times his base salary and two times his target bonus.
The Company has established guidelines regarding severance for its senior executive officers, whereby, up to 12 months of the executive's highest annual rate of base salary plus one times the target annual incentive bonus determined from such base salary may become payable in the event of terminations without cause under specified circumstances. Senior executive officers are also eligible for 1.5 times the executive's highest annual rate of base salary, plus 1.5 times the target annual incentive bonus determined from such base salary if, within a two-year period commencing on the date of a change in control, the senior executive is terminated without cause under specified circumstances.
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Property and equipment covered by such operating lease agreements include offices and warehousing facilities at subsidiary locations, satellite transponder, office equipment and certain tower site locations.

In fiscal 2015 and 2014, matching contributions were contributed annually to the plan in February of the following fiscal year. The Company currently provides a contribution match of $0.50 for every $1.00 contributed by eligible participants up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. Company plan contributions expense totaled approximately $1,321,000, $1,156,000 and $1,062,000 for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively, of which $0, $1,156,000 and $1,062,000 were accrued and outstanding at January 28, 2017, January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015, respectively.

Distribution Facility Expansion, Consolidation & Technology Upgrade
Property, Plant and Equipment, Schedule of Significant Acquisitions and Disposals [Table Text Block]
Distribution Facility Expansion, Consolidation & Technology Upgrade
During fiscal 2014, the Company began a significant operational expansion initiative with respect to overall warehousing capacity and new equipment and system technology upgrades at our Bowling Green, Kentucky distribution facility. During fiscal 2015, the Company expanded our 262,000 square foot facility to an approximately 600,000 square foot facility and moved out of the Company's leased satellite warehouse space. The updated facilities and technology upgrade includes a new high-speed parcel shipping and item sortation system coupled with a new warehouse management system to support our increased level of shipments and a new call center facility to better serve our customers. The new sortation and warehouse management system were phased into production through fiscal 2016. Total cost of the physical building expansion, new sortation equipment and call center facility was approximately $25 million and was financed with our expanded PNC revolving line of credit and a $15 million PNC term loan.
As a result of our distribution facility expansion, consolidation and technology upgrade initiative, the Company incurred approximately $677,000 in incremental expenses during fiscal 2016 related primarily to increased labor and training costs associated with the Company's warehouse management system migration. For fiscal 2015, we incurred approximately $1,347,000 in incremental expenses related primarily to increased labor, inventory and other warehousing transportation costs, training costs and increased equipment rental costs associated with: the move into the new expanded warehouse building, the move out of previously leased warehouse space and the preparation of our expanded facility for the new high-speed parcel shipping and item sortation system and upgraded warehouse management system.

Activist Shareholder Response Costs
In October 2013, the Company received a demand from an activist shareholder to call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose, among other things, of voting on a new slate of directors and amending certain of the Company’s bylaws. The Company retained a team of advisers, including a financial adviser, proxy solicitor, investor relations firm and legal counsel, to assist in responding to the demand and the solicitation of proxies. In conjunction with such activities, the Company recorded charges to income in fiscal 2014 totaling $3,518,000, which includes $750,000 as reimbursement for a portion of the activist shareholder’s expenses.  As previously disclosed, the activist shareholder requested that the Company reimburse it for certain of its expenses relating to the proxy contest.  In exchange for paying certain activist shareholder expenses, the Company obtained a customary standstill agreement from the activist shareholder. The process of responding to the initial demand concluded with the Company’s annual shareholder meeting on June 18, 2014.
Executive and Management Transition Costs

In conjunction with the employment agreement, the Company granted Mr. Rosenblatt an award of restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units and incentive stock options under the Company's 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan with an aggregate fair value of $1.8 million. The chief executive officer’s employment agreement also provides for severance in the event of employment termination of (i) 1.5 times the amount of his base salary, plus (ii) one times his target bonus. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the agreement, the severance shall be two times his base salary and two times his target bonus.
In conjunction with these executive changes as well as other executive and management terminations made during fiscal 2016, the Company recorded charges to income totaling $4,411,000, which relate primarily to severance payments to be made as a result of the executive officer terminations and other direct costs associated with the Company's 2016 executive and management transition.
On March 26, 2015, the Company announced the termination and departure of three executive officers, namely its Chief Financial Officer, its Senior Vice President and General Counsel, and President.

Relationship with GE Equity, Comcast and NBCU
Until April 29, 2016, the Company was a party to an amended and restated shareholder agreement, dated February 25, 2009 (the “GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement”), with GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc. (“GE Equity”) and NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCU”), which provided for certain corporate governance and standstill matters (as described further below). NBCU is an indirect subsidiary of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”). The Company believes that as of January 28, 2017, the direct equity ownership of NBCU in the Company consisted of 7,141,849 shares of common stock, or approximately 11.0% of the Company’s current outstanding common stock. The Company has a significant cable distribution agreement with Comcast and believes that the terms of the agreement are comparable to those with other cable system operators. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received a $500,000 cash payment from a wholly owned subsidiary of NBCUniversal for the right to use a specified channel in the Boston, Massachusetts' designated market area.
In an SEC filing made on August 18, 2015, GE Equity disclosed that on August 14, 2015, it and ASF Radio, L.P. (“ASF Radio”), an independent third party to Evine, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which GE Equity agreed to sell 3,545,049 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is all of the shares GE Equity then owned, to ASF Radio for $2.15 per share. According to the SEC filing, ASF Radio is an affiliate of Ardian, an independent private equity investment company. The closing of this sale (the “GE/ASF Radio Sale”) occurred on April 29, 2016. In connection with the GE/ASF Radio Sale, the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement was terminated and the Company entered into a new Shareholder Agreement (the “NBCU Shareholder Agreement”) with NBCU described below.
GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement
The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement that was terminated April 29, 2016 provided that GE Equity is entitled to designate nominees for three members of the Company's Board of Directors so long as the aggregate beneficial ownership of GE Equity and NBCU (and their affiliates) was at least equal to 50% of their beneficial ownership as of February 25, 2009 (i.e., beneficial ownership of approximately 8.7 million common shares) (the “50% Ownership Condition”), and two members of the Company's Board of Directors so long as their aggregate beneficial ownership was at least 10% of the shares of “adjusted outstanding common stock,” as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement (the “10% Ownership Condition”). In addition, the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement provided that GE Equity may designate any of its director-designees to be an observer of the audit, human resources and compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees of the Company's Board of Directors. Neither GE Equity nor NBCU currently has, or during fiscal 2016 had, any designees serving on the Company's Board of Directors or committees.
The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement required that the Company obtain the consent of GE Equity before the Company (i) exceed certain thresholds relating to the issuance of securities, the payment of dividends, the repurchase or redemption of common stock, acquisitions (including investments and joint ventures) or dispositions, and the incurrence of debt; (ii) enter into any business different than the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries are currently engaged; and (iii) amend the Company's articles of incorporation to adversely affect GE Equity and NBCU (or their affiliates); provided, however, that these restrictions would no longer apply when both (1) GE Equity is no longer entitled to designate three director nominees and (2) GE Equity and NBCU no longer hold any Series B preferred stock. The Company was also prohibited from taking any action that would cause any ownership interest by us in television broadcast stations from being attributable to GE Equity, NBCU or their affiliates.
Stock Purchase from NBCU
On January 31, 2017, subsequent to fiscal 2016, the Company purchased from NBCU 4,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 6.7% of shares outstanding, for approximately $4.9 million or $1.12 per share, pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement. Following the Company's share purchase, the direct equity ownership of NBCU in the Company consisted of 2,741,849 shares of common stock, or 4.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The NBCU Shareholder Agreement was terminated pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement.
NBCU Shareholder Agreement
The Company was a party to the NBCU Shareholder Agreement until it was terminated pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement on January 31, 2017. The NBCU Shareholder Agreement replaced the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement. The NBCU Shareholder Agreement provided that as long as NBCU or its affiliates beneficially own at least 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock, NBCU is entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the NBCU Shareholder Agreement provided that NBCU may designate its director designee to be an observer of the audit, human resources and compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees of the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the NBCU Shareholder Agreement required the Company to obtain the consent of NBCU prior to the Company's adoption or amendment of any shareholder’s rights plan or certain other actions that would impede or restrict the ability of NBCU to acquire the Company's voting stock or our taking any action that would result in NBCU being deemed to be in violation of the Federal Communications Commission multiple ownership regulations.
The NBCU Shareholder Agreement also provided that unless NBCU beneficially owned less than 5% or more than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, NBCU could not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company subject to limited exceptions for (i) transfers to affiliates, (ii) third party tender offers, (iii) mergers, consolidations and reorganizations and (iv) transfers pursuant to underwritten public offerings or transfers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (provided, in the case of (iv), such transfers would not result in the transferee acquiring beneficial ownership in excess of 20%).
Registration Rights Agreement
On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement that, as further amended, provided GE Equity, NBCU and their affiliates and any transferees and assigns, an aggregate of five demand registrations and unlimited piggy-back registration rights. In connection with the GE/ASF Radio Sale, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement was entered into removing GE Equity as a party and adding ASF Radio, L.P. as a party.
2015 Letter Agreement with GE Equity
On July 9, 2015, the Company entered into a letter agreement with GE Equity pursuant to which GE Equity consented to the Company's adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan in consideration for the Company's agreement to provide GE Equity, NBCU and certain of their respective affiliates with exemptions from the Shareholder Rights Plan. GE Equity’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement. This discussion is a summary of the terms of the letter agreement. In the letter agreement, the Company agreed that if any of GE Equity, NBCU or any of their respective affiliates that holds shares of the Company's common stock from time to time (each a “Grandfathered Investor”) sells or otherwise transfers shares of the Company's common stock currently owned by such Grandfathered Investor to any third party identified to us in writing (any such third party, an “Exempt Purchaser”), the Company will take all actions necessary under the Shareholder Rights Plan so that such third party will not be deemed an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan) by virtue of the acquisition of such shares. The Company further agreed that, subject to certain limitations, upon request of any Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser, and in connection with a transfer by such Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser of shares of the Company's common stock to an Exempt Purchaser, the Company will enter into an agreement with the acquiring Exempt Purchaser granting such acquiring Exempt Purchaser substantially the same rights as set forth above with respect to any sale of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock to any other third party. Additionally, the Company agreed that without the consent of any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of GE Equity and any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of NBCU, the Company will not (i) amend the Shareholder Rights Plan in any material respect, other than to accelerate the Expiration Date or the Final Expiration Date, (ii) adopt another shareholders' rights plan or (iii) amend the letter agreement.

Net Loss Per Common Share 
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing reported loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during reported periods.
A reconciliation of net loss per share calculations and the number of shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share is as follows:

(a) The net losses for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 includes executive and management transition costs of $4,411,000, $3,549,000 and $5,520,000, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. GAAP excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair values for financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value for cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities, due to the short maturities of those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s $85 million Credit Facilities are estimated based on rates available to the Company for issuance of debt. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, the Company's Credit Facilities had a carrying amount and an estimated fair value of $85 million and $72 million, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to the Company's tangible fixed assets and intangible FCC broadcasting license asset, which are remeasured when estimated fair value is below carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust its carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is recorded as a loss within operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company had no remeasurements of such assets or liabilities to fair value during fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014.
Use of Estimates 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during reporting periods. These estimates relate primarily to the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and inventories, the realizability of certain long-term assets and the recorded balances of certain accrued liabilities and reserves. Ultimate results could differ from these estimates.
Share-Based Compensation 
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation is recognized for all stock-based compensation arrangements by the Company, including employee and non-employee stock options granted. The estimated grant date fair value of each stock-based award is recognized as compensation over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The estimated fair value of each option is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for time-based vesting awards and a Monte Carlo valuation model for market-based vesting awards.
New Accounting Pronouncements 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, Subtopic 835-30 (Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, applying it retrospectively. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016 reflects the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $266,000 from other assets to long term credit facilities. The amount of debt issuance costs included in long term credit facilities as of January 28, 2017 was $1.4 million. In August 2015, the FASB issued Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Subtopic 835-30 (ASU No. 2015-15), which clarifies that absent authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the revolving line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit arrangement. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, debt issuance costs of $589,000 and $694,000, respectively, related to our PNC Credit Agreement revolving line of credit were included within other assets. We continue to include these costs within other assets, amortizing them over the term of the PNC Credit Agreement.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Subtopic 205-40 (ASU No. 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosures are required.  The Company adopted this standard during the year ended January 28, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, Topic 740 (ASU No 2015-17). ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, applying it retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (ASU No. 2014-09), which provides a framework for the recognition of revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. The guidance, also includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The standard will now become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this ASU, related amendments and interpretive guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, financial systems and controls. In addition, we are still determining the application of several aspects of the ASU, including; principal versus agent, identification of performance obligations, the determination of when control of goods transfers to our customers, our transition method and related disclosure requirements.
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, Topic 330 (ASU No 2015-11). ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Leases, Topic 842 (ASU No 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Compensation-Stock Compensation, Topic 718 (ASU No. 2016-09). This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. In addition, the ASU also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and has elected to continue estimating forfeitures each period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Cash Flows, Topic 230 (ASU No. 2016-15). This amendment provides guidance on the presentation and classification of specific cash flow items to improve consistency in practice. The new standard is effective retrospectively for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements.

Shareholders' Equity (Tables)
Schedule of stock option valuation assumptions [Table Text Block] 
The fair value of each time-based vesting option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method taking into consideration the option's contractual life and vesting terms. The Company uses the simplified method in estimating its expected option term because it believes that historical exercise data cannot be accurately relied upon at this time to provide a reasonable basis for estimating an expected term due to the extreme volatility of its stock price and the resulting unpredictability of its stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yields were not used in the fair value computations as the Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain earnings for use in operations.
