Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

Previous report

As of the date of these financial statements, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The principal conditions leading to this conclusion are the upcoming maturities of current debt at certain of the Company's subsidiaries as well as from certain cross-default provisions in the Company's Senior Secured Notes. Based on these conditions, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations at maturity and comply with certain cross-default provisions under the Senior Secured Notes over the next 12 months. The Company plans to alleviate these conditions through various initiatives it is currently exploring, including refinancing the debt at Broadcasting and DBMG, pursuing asset sales, and raising additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to raise additional capital when needed, be successful in any asset sales, or refinance its existing debt, on attractive terms, or at all, nor any assurances that lenders will provide additional extensions, waivers or amendments in the event of future non-compliance with the Company’s debt covenants or other possible events of default. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a reduction, extension, or refinancing of the debt, or that the terms of any replacement financing would be as favorable as the terms of the debt prior to the maturity date. There can be no assurance that these plans will be successfully implemented or that they will mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The inability to refinance or extend the maturity of the current debt at the Company's subsidiaries, or to raise sufficient cash to pay the debt at maturity would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and likely cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline.
