All inter-Company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
D. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. In these consolidated financial statements, assets, liabilities and expenses involve extensive reliance on managements estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. Capital Structure

The Company is authorized 10,000,000 shares of Preferred stock with a par value of $.001. The Companys Class A issued and outstanding shares is 10,000. The Companys Class B issued and outstanding is 300,600.
The Class A Preferred Stock is non-voting shares and are available for conversion into Class A Common Stock. The remaining 10,000 shares of Class A Preferred outstanding shares are convertible into 500,000 shares of Class A Common stock.

Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that the corporation's assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.
F. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the respective useful lives ranging from 3-40 years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $300,501 and $408,517, respectively.
G. Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company assesses whether certain relevant factors limit the period over which acquired assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows for amortization purposes. Under certain conditions the Company may assess the recoverability of the unamortized balance of its long-lived assets based on undiscounted expected future cash flows. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable; the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of any intangible asset is recognized as an impairment loss.
The Company recorded an impairment charge from continuing operations of $487,562 for the year ended, December 31, 2016. The estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $3,990,000 and consisted of the Companys land and building. The Companys fair value estimate was derived primarily from estimated future cash flows of the Save-A-Lot portion of their building and land associated with a planned sale of the property by the Company during the year ending December 31, 2017 as well as a third-party appraisal on both the Save-A-Lot portion and movie theater portion of the Companys building and land.
H. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the consolidated financial statements.
There are no outstanding common stock options and/or warrants.
I. Provision for Income Taxes
The Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized as follows:
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10 to account for income taxes. The Company currently has no items creating material temporary differences that would give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities except as noted above. Net operating losses give rise to possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards; a valuation allowance has been made to the extent of any future tax benefit that the net operating losses may generate. A provision for income taxes has not been made due to the deferred tax asset associated with the net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $10,279,000 and $9,693,000 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income. These net operating loss carry-forwards begin to expire in the year 2020. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements. Tax rates differ from statutory rates due to the uncertainty of the above.
The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 2016, and 2015, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Companys federal and various state income tax returns for 2013 through 2015 are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities, generally for three years after the later of the original or extended due date.
J. Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality.
K. Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-9 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or 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. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify 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; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 605, Revenue Recognition, most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the accounting standards codification, and some cost guidance related to construction-type and production-type contracts. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In August 2015, the FASB issues ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-9. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but due to the nature of its operations does not believe that it will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but due to the nature of its operations does not believe that it will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.
L. Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $17,283 and $546 for the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
M. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash in all bank accounts, including money market and temporary investments that have an original maturity of three months or less.
N. Reclassifications
Certain amounts included in the prior years balance sheet and statement of cash flows has been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on total assets, total liabilities, stockholders deficit, or net loss as previously reported.
O. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated statements were issued and filed with the annual report. Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement with Kirkland Financial which became effective as of January 15, 2017. The loan modification agreement combines the Companys real estate mortgage note and digital equipment note into a single promissory note, modified the interest rate, monthly payment and maturity date. The single loan obligation as modified currently calls for monthly payments of $15,223 at an interest rate of 2.5% with a final balloon payment due of $4,410,562 on July 15, 2020. See Note 3 for further discussion regarding the loan modification. |
