SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2015

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2015 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

USE OF ESTIMATES

The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Singing Machine's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions and translations were not material during the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk

At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured amounts of up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had no cash deposits that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts in foreign financial institutions at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were $329,731 and $23,794, respectively.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INVENTORY

Inventories are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Singing Machine reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is presented as the conversion of stock options would have a dilutive effect. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 total potential dilutive shares amounted to approximately 880,000 and 74,000 shares, respectively, however these shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of equipment, accessories, musical recordings and subscriptions and third –party logistics services are recognized upon the later of: (a) the time of shipment or (b) when title passes to the customers and all significant contractual obligations and services have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Net sales are comprised of gross sales net of actual and estimated future returns, discounts and volume rebates.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718-20 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the stock option expense was $2,001 and $32,398, respectively.

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

ADVERTISING

Costs incurred for producing and publishing advertising of the Company are charged to operations the first time the advertising takes place. The Company has entered into cooperative advertising agreements with its major customers that specifically indicated that the customer has to spend the cooperative advertising fund upon the occurrence of mutually agreed events. The percentage of the cooperative advertising allowance ranges from 2% to 9% of the purchase. The customers have to advertise the Company's products in the customer's catalog, local newspaper and other advertising media. The customer must submit the proof of the performance (such as a copy of the advertising showing the Company’s products) to the Company to request for the allowance. The customer does not have the ability to spend the allowance at their discretion. The Company believes that the identifiable benefit from the cooperative advertising program and the fair value of the advertising benefit is equal or greater than the cooperative advertising expense. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $279,356 and $199,720, respectively.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, these amounts totaled $32,120 and $28,200 respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company adopted FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, obligations to customers for returns and allowances, warranty provision, accrued expenses and net due to related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each interim period and, based on management’s best estimate of its full year effective tax rate, recognizes cumulative adjustments to its deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 is estimated to be approximately 39%. The effective tax rate for the full year ended March 31, 2015 was approximately 35%.

As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, The Singing Machine had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, against which the Company recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $0.7 million. A valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that a portion of the tax benefits from the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the three month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss before income tax benefit of approximately $807,000 which generated an additional current deferred tax asset and income tax benefit of approximately $312,000. Due to the seasonality of the business, the Company is expected to reverse this increase in deferred tax asset during the remainder of fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of June 30, 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years ended March 31, 2012 through March 31, 2015.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-05, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of selling expenses and those billed to customers are recorded as a reduction of expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block]

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 which outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use when accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue recognition model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to achieve this core principle a company must apply the following steps in determining revenue recognition:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Determine the transaction price.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period with early application allowed beginning with reporting periods after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing whether the implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The ASU clarifies that entities should treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share-based payment award as performance conditions that affect vesting. An entity would not record compensation expense (measured as of the grant date without taking into account the effect of the performance target) related to an award for which transfer to the employee is contingent on the entity’s satisfaction of a performance target until it becomes probable that the performance target will be met. The ASU is effective for all entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The implementation of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU requires that at every interim and annual period, management determine whether conditions or events exist which raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. If management’s initial consideration of the relevant conditions and events indicates that it is probable the entity will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due within the assessment period, then management must evaluate whether it is probable that plans to mitigate these factors will alleviate that substantial doubt. The mitigating effect is considered only if it is probable that the plan will be effectively implemented and probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt. If management’s plans will alleviate the substantial doubt, an entity must disclose in the notes to the financial statements the conditions or events that raised substantial doubt and management’s plans that alleviated those concerns. If management’s plans will not alleviate the substantial doubt, an entity must disclose in the notes to the financial statements the same conditions and events along with management’s plans that did not alleviate the substantial doubt, in addition to a statement that indicates there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing whether the implementation of ASU 2014-15 will have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. To be considered an extraordinary item under existing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, an event or transaction that is identified as both unusual in nature and occurs infrequently must be segregated as an extraordinary item from results or ordinary operations, separately presented as an extraordinary item on an entity’s income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations and an entity must disclose income taxes and earnings per share data applicable to the extraordinary item. While the ASU eliminates the requirement to segregate and separately report an event that is identified as an extraordinary item it does not affect the reporting and disclosure requirements for an extraordinary item. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The implementation of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents these costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The ASU specifies that “issue costs shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the note” and that “amortization of debt issue costs shall also be reported as interest expense”. Any debt issuance costs incurred before the associated funding is received should be reported on the balance sheet as deferred charges until the debt liability amount is recorded. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for financial statements that have not been previously issued with the new guidance to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods. Management is currently assessing whether the implementation of ASU 2015-03 will have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The ASU requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM) are not impacted by the new guidance. The guidance in ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is currently assessing whether the implementation of ASU 2015-11 will have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
