Ongoing Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Potential Economic Slowdown

Ongoing Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Potential Economic Slowdown

Our businesses were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic since its declaration as a national emergency in March 2020. We had a major disruption in our business operations that affected our cash flow. The pandemic 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. In 2021, our businesses started and continue to recover to date from the initial effects of the pandemic. There have been several variants to the coronavirus since then that threatened our operations throughout the period of recovery. We continue to adhere to state and local government mandates regarding the pandemic.

Since early 2021, there has been a worldwide increase in inflation. In the event this global inflation leads to a major economic downturn, our business operations and cash flow could be significantly affected.

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. We evaluated forecasted cash flows considering a probable economic slowdown on sales and, to a lesser extent, the future assumed impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the evaluation we conducted during the interim period ended June 30, 2022, we determined that our assets are impaired in a total amount of $1.7 million comprised of $400,000 in goodwill (for one club), $1.0 million in property and equipment ($379,000 for one club and $650,000 for one Bombshells), and $293,000 in SOB license (for one club).
