Sales, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) associated with G-SMATT America were recognized for six months from the date of majority ownership change by the Company. | The Company has an outstanding deficit of USD 136,790,543 and USD 62,348,576 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the current liabilities also exceed current assets by USD 40,692,649 and USD 18,531,567 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Despite the accumulated losses, the Company’s management has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Company’s capacity to continue as a going concern, notwithstanding its operation at a deficit and the occurrence of capital erosion throughout FY23. They have determined that there are no significant issues regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern considering the following factors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Improvement in business |
|
To achieve a positive operating profit, the Company aims to increase sales while simultaneously curbing operational expenses. Proactive sales plans for 2024 have been implemented, and contracts with new customers are currently being prepared as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Subsequent debt to equity conversion |
|
Mitigate capital impairment through conversion of debt and payables into equity. |
|
|
| Current Liabilities Refunding Program |
|
The current liabilities refunding program entails securing cash proceeds via collection of existing accounts receivable, equity raisings from investors based in the United States and Korea. |
| (1) |
As a result of recent operational improvements which have been implemented at Captivision Korea, the Company anticipates a significant increase in both revenue and operating income in 2024. |
| (2) |
The Company initiated twelve equity conversion agreements as of the reporting date. Under these agreements, a total of USD 7,674,155 of outstanding debt and trade payables are to be converted into the Company’s Common Shares (the “Debt to Equity Conversion”). | The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and are accounted for under the assumption that the Company’s assets and liabilities could be recovered or repaid through normal business activities. In a situation where the validity of the going concern assumption, which is the premise of preparing the Company’s financial statements, is questioned, there may be certain uncertainty relating to the feasibility of financing plans for debt repayment, new business, and financial improvement plans. However, considering the above management’s mitigation plans, the Company has feasibility to continue as a going concern and achieve positive operating profits in the near future.
