Liquidity [Abstract]  
Liquidity NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

We continue to evaluate the going concern assertion required by ASC 205-40 Going Concern as it relates to our Company. The evaluation of the going concern assertion involves firstly considering whether it is probable that our Company has sufficient resources, as at the issue date of the financial statements, to meet its obligations as they fall due for twelve months following the issue date. Should it be probable that there are not sufficient resources, we must determine whether it is probable that our plans will be effectively implemented and will mitigate the consequential going concern substantial doubt. Our evaluation is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies. Our Company’s business plan - two businesses (real estate and cinema) in three countries (Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.) - has served us well since the onset of COVID-19 and is key to management’s overall evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern.

We have $69.2 million of debt due in twelve months, cash of $12.3 million and negative working capital of $104.6 million. This net negative working capital position includes land and property held for sale on that date of $32.3 million (based on book as opposed to fair market value). Management has concluded that uncertainty exists.

As a result, we have developed a plan to address and overcome the uncertainty. Our plan is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies.

While we believe that, with an increase in the quantity and quality of films being released to cinemas compared to pre-pandemic levels, patronage and operating revenue levels will improve, we have no control over attendance levels and no assurances can be given as to the nature of the reception of future movies by the movie-going public.

As a result, we plan to start a process of refinancing certain loans in the near future. Moreover, we intend to raise the liquidity necessary for the next twelve months from real estate asset monetization. We believe we have more than sufficient marketable real estate assets that can be monetized on a timely basis and at the values required to meet our funding needs over the next twelve months. After having sold eight separate property assets since 2021, we have demonstrated our ability to complete real estate asset monetizations.

Into 2025, we continue to take action to raise liquidity, paying down bank debt by $16.6 million using proceeds from asset monetizations. On January 31, 2025, we repaid our $10.5 million Westpac loan. On February 5, 2025, we repaid $6.1 million of our Bank of America facility, taking the balance to $8.7 million due on August 18, 2025. On February 26, 2025, we exercised our option to extend our Valley National debt to October 1, 2025. Our $12.4 million NAB bridging facility matures on April 30, 2025, which we expect to repay upon the anticipated sale of our Cannon Park property in mid-April 2025.

In conclusion, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, based on our evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern and the current conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, and our various plans for enhancing liquidity and the extent to which those plans are progressing, we conclude that our plan to raise sufficient liquidity primarily through certain real estate asset monetizations to

the extent needed is probable of being implemented to the extent required such that that this alleviates the substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Impairment Considerations

Our Company considers that the events and factors described above continue to constitute impairment indicators under ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. At December 31, 2024, our Company performed a quantitative recoverability test of the carrying values of all its asset groups. Our Company estimated the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these asset groups and found that no impairment charge was necessary. This was due to our improved financial performance at the asset group level, and our more favorable expectations for future trading. No impairment charges were recorded in 2023. We recorded impairment charges of $1.5 million in 2022 against certain cinemas whose performance had not improved commensurate with the wider group. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, many of which are subject to the uncertainties associated with of the residual impacts COVID-19 and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.

Our Company also considers that the events and factors described above continue to constitute impairment indicators under ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Our Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2024. The test was performed at a reporting unit level by comparing each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, to its fair value. The fair value of each reporting unit was assessed using a discounted cash flow model based on the budgetary revisions performed by management in response to COVID-19 and the developing market conditions. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, many of which are subject to the uncertainties associated with the residual impacts of COVID-19 and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
