Liquidity And Impact Of Covid-19 Pandemic |
Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic | 3. Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, former President Donald Trump declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic as a national public health emergency. The declaration resulted in a significant reduction in customer traffic in our clubs and restaurants due to changes in consumer behavior as social distancing practices, dining room closures and other restrictions were mandated or encouraged by federal, state and local governments. Since March 2020, we have temporarily closed and reopened several of our clubs and restaurants. The temporary closure of our clubs and restaurants caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has presented operational challenges. Our strategy is to open locations in accordance with local and state guidelines and we are uncertain as to when and if they will generate positive cash flows for us. Depending on the timing and number of locations we are allowed to open, and their ability to generate positive cash flow, we may need to borrow funds to meet our obligations or consider selling certain assets. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting the availability of liquidity generally in the credit markets, and there can be no guarantee that additional liquidity will be readily available or available on favorable terms, especially the longer the COVID-19 pandemic lasts. To augment an expected decline in operating cash flows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we instituted the following measures:
| ● | Arranged and continue to arrange for deferment of principal and interest payment on certain of our debts;
| ● | Furloughed employees working at our clubs and restaurants, except for a limited number of managers;
| ● | Temporarily enacted a pay reduction for all remaining salaried and hourly employees and deferral of board of director compensation;
| ● | Deferred or modified certain fixed monthly expenses such as insurance, rent, and taxes, among others;
| ● | Temporarily reduced or canceled certain non-essential expenses such as advertising, cable, pest control, point-of-sale system support, and investor relations coverage, among others.
On May 8, 2020, the Company received approval and funding under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) for its restaurants, shared service entity and lounge. See Notes 6 and 8. Ten of our restaurant subsidiaries received amounts ranging from $271,000 to $579,000 for an aggregate amount of $4.2 million; our shared-services subsidiary received $1.1 million; and one of our lounges received $124,000. None of our adult nightclub and other non-core business subsidiaries received funding under the PPP. The Company believes it has used the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company has currently utilized all of the PPP funds and has submitted its forgiveness applications. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we received ten Notices of PPP Forgiveness Payment from the Small Business Administration out of the twelve of our PPP loans granted. All of the notices received forgave 100% of each of the ten PPP loans totaling the amount of $4.9 million and included in non-operating gains (losses), net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we received another forgiveness notice for one PPP loan which forgave 100% of the loan or $378,000 in principal. No assurance can be provided that the Company will in fact obtain forgiveness of the remaining PPP loan in whole or in part. As of the release of this report, we do not know the future extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our businesses. Lower sales, as caused by local, state and national guidelines, could lead to adverse financial results. However, we will continually monitor and evaluate the situation and will determine any further measures to be instituted, including refinancing several of our debt obligations. We continue to adhere to state and local government mandates regarding the pandemic and, since March 2020, have closed and reopened several of our locations depending on changing government mandates. As of the release of this report, we have reopened many of our club and Bombshells locations with certain operating hour restrictions and with limited occupancy. Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets We consider the COVID-19 pandemic as a triggering event in the assessment of recoverability of the goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and long-lived assets in our clubs and restaurants that are affected. Based on our evaluation, we determined that there is no impairment in our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020.
