License Agreements [Abstract]
License Agreements	NOTE 10 — LICENSE AGREEMENTS: The Company is party to three license agreements that allow licensees to use its trademarks for the manufacture and/or the sale of consumer electronics and other products. These license agreements (i) allow the licensee to use the Company’s trademarks for a specific product category, or for sale within specific geographic areas, or for sales to a specific customer base, or any combination of the above, or any other category that might be defined in the license agreement and (ii) may be subject to renewal at the initial expiration of the agreements and are governed by the laws of the United States. The Company’s largest license agreement is with Funai, which accounted for approximately 79% of the Company’s total fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 licensing revenue, and which was amended during November 2013 to extend the term of the agreement until March 31, 2018. The agreement provides that Funai will manufacture, market, sell and distribute specified products bearing the Emerson^® trademark to customers in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives non-refundable minimum annual royalty payments of $3.75 million each calendar year and a license fee on sales of product subject to the agreement in excess of the minimum annual royalties. During fiscal 2016 and 2015 licensing revenues of $3.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively, were earned under this agreement. As previously disclosed, on December 16, 2015, the Company received written notice from Funai stating its intention to terminate the agreement, with termination to be effective on December 31, 2016. As a result of such termination, unless the Company is successful in securing a new licensee to replace the licensing revenue which will be absent upon the Funai termination, the Company expects fiscal 2017, which begins April 1, 2016, licensing revenue will decline as compared to fiscal 2016 licensing revenue. As previously disclosed, since this licensing relationship contributes substantial product volume and market presence through Funai’s manufacture and distribution of products bearing the Emerson^® brand name in the United States, the loss of this relationship and licensing agreement with Funai is expected to materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenue, earnings and business. The Company is analyzing the impacts of the Funai termination to its business and is identifying strategic courses of action for consideration, including seeking new licensing relationships. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure a new licensee or distribution relationship to replace the licensing revenue, product volume and market presence of Emerson-branded products in the United States, which had been provided through the license agreement with Funai.

NOTE 10 — LICENSE AGREEMENTS:

The Company is party to three license agreements that allow licensees to use its trademarks for the manufacture and/or the sale of consumer electronics and other products. These license agreements (i) allow the licensee to use the Company’s trademarks for a specific product category, or for sale within specific geographic areas, or for sales to a specific customer base, or any combination of the above, or any other category that might be defined in the license agreement and (ii) may be subject to renewal at the initial expiration of the agreements and are governed by the laws of the United States.

The Company’s largest license agreement is with Funai, which accounted for approximately 79% of the Company’s total fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 licensing revenue, and which was amended during November 2013 to extend the term of the agreement until March 31, 2018.
