Explanatory Note
 
As previously reported, on October 15, 2025, Creative Realities, Inc. (“Creative Realities” or the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with its wholly owned subsidiary, 1001372953 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Buyer”), and Cineplex Entertainment Limited Partnership, a Manitoba limited partnership (“Cineplex”), to acquire DDC Group International, Inc., an Ontario corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cineplex (“DDC”). DDC is the parent company of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media Inc., an Ontario corporation (“CDM”), and CDM’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CDMUS”). In this report, DDC, CDM and CDMUS are collectively referred to as the “CDM Business,” and such acquisition is referred to as the “CDM Acquisition.” On November 7, 2025, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement. Upon the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the CDM Acquisition, the Company (indirectly through 1001372953 Ontario Inc.) acquired ownership of all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of DDC for a total purchase price of approximately CAD$70,000,000, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We described the CDM Acquisition in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 12, 2025 (the “Initial 8-K”). The information set forth in the Initial 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

3. Deferred income taxes

 

Based on substantively enacted corporate tax rates, expected timing of reversals and expected taxable income allocation to various tax jurisdictions, deferred income taxes are as follows:

 

   

September 30, 2025

   

December 31, 2024

 
                 

Deferred income tax assets

               

Property, equipment and leaseholds and deferred tenant inducements - difference between net carrying value and undepreciated capital cost

  $ 227     $ 111  

Accounting provisions not currently deductible

    1,684       1,105  

Income tax credits available

    450       450  

Operating losses available for carry-forward

    9,821       9,184  

Total gross deferred income tax assets

    12,182       10,850  
                 

Future deferred tax liabilities

               

Intangible assets

    (1,267 )     (1,265 )

Total gross deferred income tax liabilities

    (1,267 )     (1,265 )
                 

Net deferred income tax asset recognized

  $ 10,915     $ 9,585  

 

At December 31, 2020 the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets was uncertain and accordingly the net deferred tax assets were derecognized. During the second quarter of 2023, Cineplex Digital Media assessed the recoverability of net deferred income tax assets and determined that the expected return to profitability provided a reasonable expectation that previously derecognized net deferred income tax assets will be utilized to offset future periods of taxable income, resulting in income tax recovery of approximately $8,923 in the second quarter of 2023.

Cineplex Digital Media’s combined statutory income tax rate at September 30, 2025 was 26.5% (2024 - 26.6%).

10. Basis of presentation and accounting standards

 

Basis of preparation and measurement

 

CDM prepares its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires that management exercise judgment in applying CDM’s accounting policies. The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the exception of accounting standards issued since December 31, 2024.

 

11. Subsequent events

 

On October 16, 2025, CELP announced it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DDC Group International Inc., which operates the digital place-based media division through CDM. The CDM Sale Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, for cash proceeds of $70.0 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

2025 THIRD QUARTER REPORTS - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (13)
 

Exhibit 99.2

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On October 15, 2025, Creative Realities Inc. (the “Company” or “CRI”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement” or the “Acquisition”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1001372953 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Buyer”) and Cineplex Entertainment Limited Partnership, a Manitoba limited partnership (“Cineplex”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares (12,742 common shares) of DDC Group International, Inc., an Ontario corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cineplex (“DDC”). No other equity shares of DDC existed other than the common shares. DDC is the parent company of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media Inc., an Ontario corporation (“CDM”), and CDM’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CDMUS”). Herein DDC, CDM and CDMUS are collectively referred to as the “CDM Business,” and such acquisition is referred to as the “CDM Acquisition.” All amounts presented are presented in thousands except for per share data.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement defines the total purchase price to be paid in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DDC as CAD$70,000, subject to customary purchase price adjustments based on working capital, closing cash, transaction expenses, and CDM Business closing indebtedness and planned capital expenditures (the “Purchase Price”). The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary and negotiated representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. The Share Purchase Agreement also contains closing conditions requiring that the Company obtain equity and debt financing sufficient to pay the Purchase Price (see below sections called Offering and Debt Financing), that the CDM Acquisition receive regulatory approval pursuant to Canada's Competition Act, and other customary conditions. Prior to consummation of the transaction, regulatory approval pursuant to Canada’s Competition Act was obtained.

 

On November 7, 2025, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement. At the closing of the CDM Acquisition, the Company (indirectly through Buyer) acquired ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DDC in exchange for the Purchase Price (on November 7, 2025, the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) 70,000 equivalent in United States Dollar (“USD”) was approximately USD $50,400). After the estimated purchase price adjustments, the net amount paid to Cineplex in exchange for the shares of DDC was approximately USD$43,302.

 

Offering

 

On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement” or the “Offering”) with certain accredited investors, the lead investor being North Run Strategic Opportunities Fund I, LP (“North Run”), (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors in a private placement, for an aggregate gross purchase price of USD$30,000, an aggregate of 30,000 shares of a newly established series of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares have a stated value of USD$1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value USD$0.01 per share. Conversion of the Preferred Shares into common stock is subject to certain limitations based on (1) a number not to exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock for any particular holder and (2) a total number of shares authorized to be converted. This sale of Preferred Shares is described herein as the “Offering.” The Offering closed on November 6, 2025. The Company used the net proceeds of the Offering to pay a portion of the Purchase Price for the CDM Acquisition, which closed the next day on November 7, 2025.

 

Debt Financing

 

On November 6, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders (the “Lenders”), and First Merchants Bank, an Indiana bank, as Agent for the Lenders (“Agent”). The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the existing credit agreement with Agent dated as of May 23, 2024, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a USD$36,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a USD$22,500 revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan of USD$36,000 and a portion of the proceeds from the Revolver (approximately USD$831) to finance the remaining portion of the purchase price for the CDM Acquisition, pay the Company’s costs related to these transactions (the CDM Acquisition, the Offering and the Debt Financing), and also repay amounts owed under the existing credit agreement. Collectively, the CDM Acquisition, the Offering and the Debt Financing are referred to as the “Transactions”.

 

 

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the Transactions (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”).

 

Transaction Accounting Adjustments have been presented in three separate columns representing the adjustments associated with the Offering, the Debt Financing, and the CDM Acquisition. The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of a true picture of the financial position and the results of operations of the combined companies following the completion of the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments are subject to material change and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are presented as if the Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 is presented as Transactions had been completed on September 30, 2025.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read together with the following:

 

 

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CRI included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025;

 

 

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included as Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 8-K/A;

 

 

the audited consolidated financial statements of CRI included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;

 

 

the audited consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included as Exhibit 99.3 of this Form 8-K/A;

 

 

other information relating to CRI and the CDM Business contained in reports filed by CRI, as applicable, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the following adjustments, which include the Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

 

 

1)

The historical consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the historical IFRS financial information of the CDM Business has been converted to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) to conform to the accounting policies of the Company. The pro forma adjustments include those necessary to reflect the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP that are required to be applied in the preparation of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Additionally, certain items within the CDM Business’s historical presentation have been reclassified to conform to CRI’s financial statement presentation.

 

 

2)

The historical consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business are presented in CAD. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the historical CAD amounts have been translated into USD in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Translation was performed using the exchange rates in effect as of the relevant historical balance sheet dates and the average exchange rates for the applicable historical statement of operations periods, unless otherwise indicated. The resulting translation adjustments are included solely for purposes of presenting the pro forma condensed combined financial information in USD.

 

 

3)

The estimated adjustments related to the Offering.

 

 

4)

The estimated adjustments related to the Debt Financing.

 

 

5)

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition, using the acquisition method of accounting with CRI as the accounting acquirer.

 

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. CRI has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, due to CRI obtaining control over the CDM Business by paying the Purchase Price in cash and organizing the Offering and Debt Financing in order to fund the CDM Acquisition. Thus, CRI will account for the Merger as a business combination in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase price will be allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their respective fair values. The fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the CDM Business have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that CRI management believes are reasonable and based on currently available information. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The final purchase accounting could be materially different from the preliminary estimates used to prepare the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements which could have a material impact on the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments reflect the Transaction Accounting Adjustments related to the Transactions, which are discussed in further detail below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position that would actually have occurred had the Transactions been consummated on the dates assumed or to project the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or period.

 

 

 

 

The accounting policies followed in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those used by CRI as set forth in CRI’s audited historical consolidated financial statements. As noted above, CRI has performed a preliminary evaluation of the pro forma impact of converting the CDM Business’s historical consolidated financial statements from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, and aligning them with those of the Company. A more comprehensive comparison and assessment will occur, which may result in additional differences identified. Additionally, CRI has reclassified certain items within the CDM Business’s historical consolidated financial statements for consistency in the financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported total assets, total liabilities and shareholders’ equity, or net loss of CRI or the CDM Business. See Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements for more information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the costs of any post close integration activities or synergies that may be achieved because of the Transactions or costs to achieve the synergies.

 

CRI and the CDM Business have not had any historical material relationship prior to the CDM Acquisition. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth herein is based upon the consolidated historical financial statements of CRI and the CDM Business. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented as if the Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2024 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and on September 30, 2025 in respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations had the Transactions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined company will experience after the completion of the Transactions.

 

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires that one company is designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. It has been determined that CRI is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the CDM Business are recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

CRI’s historical financial information was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in USD. The CDM Business’s historical financial information was prepared in accordance with IFRS and is presented in CAD, but has been converted to U.S. GAAP and translated into USD and include certain reclassifications to align with CRI’s historical presentation.

 

For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes the pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet are based on items that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the Transactions. Pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based on items that are factually supportable, directly attributable to the Transactions and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from the Transactions, including potential synergies that may be generated in future periods.

 

All amounts presented are presented in thousands except for per share data.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

 

Note C – Offering Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

 

(a)

Gives pro forma effect to the closing of the Offering and, accordingly, reflects the issuance of 30 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $30,000. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 10,000 shares of CRI common stock. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity in the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet because redemption automatically occurs upon a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the Series A Redeemable Convertible Stock’s certificate of designation, and certain transactions are not solely within the control of the Company. However, redemption is not considered probable; therefore, the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not accreted to face value. The balance sheet classification of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is preliminary and may change as a result of the Company completing its analysis. Additionally, Offering costs of $2,410 were netted against the gross carrying value of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock on the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet.

 

Note D – Debt Financing Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

 

(b)

Gives pro forma effect of the Credit Agreement that amends and restates in its entirety the existing credit agreement with Agent dated as of May 23, 2024, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a $36,000 term loan and a $22,500 revolving credit facility. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan of $36,000 and a portion of the proceeds from the Revolver (approximately $831) to finance a portion of the purchase price for the CDM Acquisition, pay the Company’s costs related to the Transactions and also repay amounts owed under the existing credit agreement. The amendment of the credit agreement was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and as a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,009, which is comprised of various debt issuance costs. The accounting conclusion of the debt extinguishment related to the Credit Agreement is preliminary and may change as a result of the Company completing its analysis of the transaction.

 

 

 

 

Note E – CDM Acquisition Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

 

(c)

The CDM Acquisition is considered as a business combination and is accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805- Business Combinations as CRI was determined to be the accounting acquirer and the CDM Business met the definition of a business. CRI paid $43,302 (net of cash acquired of $5,399) for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the CDM Business.

 

The below table illustrates the pro forma effect of CRI applying the acquisition method of accounting to the CDM Acquisition, whereby the total consideration is allocated to the CDM Business’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Based upon the estimated purchase price and a preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

  $ 22,493  

 

 

(1)

The customer relationships, developed technology, and non-compete agreements are currently presumed to have an estimated useful life of twenty, ten and five years, respectively and their fair values will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The preliminary fair values of the acquired intangibles were estimated using the multi period excess earnings model for the customer relationships, the relief from royalty method for the developed technology, and the with and without method for the non-compete agreements.

 

 

(2)

Represents the net deferred tax effect difference between the accounting and income tax bases of the various identified assets and liabilities, using an assumed statutory income tax rate of approximately 26.5%.

 

 

 

 

The components of net working capital deficit are as follows:

 

   

Preliminary

  $ (13,556 )

 

The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as practicable and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

 

(d)

Reflects adjustments to equity related to:

 

a.

The elimination of the CDM Business’s historical equity balances.

 

b.

Represents the recognition of $448 direct and incremental transaction costs incurred after September 30, 2025, in connection with the closing of the CDM Acquisition, which are non-recurring.

Exhibit 99.3

 

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Board of Directors of DDC Group International Inc.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DDC Group International Inc. d/b/a Cineplex Digital Media (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the years then ended (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

7. Deferred income taxes

 

Based on substantively enacted corporate tax rates, expected timing of reversals and expected taxable income allocation to various tax jurisdictions, deferred income taxes are as follows:

 

   

2024

   

2023

 
                 

Deferred income tax assets

               

Property, equipment and leaseholds and deferred tenant inducements - difference between net carrying value and undepreciated capital cost

  $ 111     $ (404 )

Accounting provisions not currently deductible

    1,105     $ 389  

Income tax credits available

    450     $ 450  

Operating losses available for carry-forward and carry-back

    9,184     $ 10,121  

Total gross deferred income tax assets

    10,850       10,556  
                 

Deferred tax liabilities

               

Intangible assets

    (1,265 )     (1,204 )

Total gross deferred income tax liabilities

    (1,265 )     (1,204 )
                 

Net deferred income tax

  $ 9,585     $ 9,352  

 

 

At December 31, 2020 the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets was uncertain and accordingly the net deferred tax assets were derecognized. During the second quarter of 2023, CDM assessed the recoverability of net deferred income tax assets and determined that the expected return to profitability provided a reasonable expectation that previously derecognized net deferred income tax assets will be utilized to offset future periods of taxable income, resulting in income tax recovery of approximately $8,923 in the second quarter of 2023.

CDM’s combined statutory income tax rate at December 31, 2024 was 26.6% (2023 - 26.6%).

 

The provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statement of operations differs from the statutory income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as follows:

 

   

2024

   

2023

 
                 

Loss before income taxes from continuing operations

  $ (2,524 )   $ (2,480 )

Combined statutory income tax rates for the current year

CDM leases certain digital media advertising assets under agreements that may include fixed fees and guaranteed minimums. These leases typically provide CDM with the right to use identified digital displays for specified periods of time to display advertising in exchange for the greater of a percentage of advertising sales and the minimum annual guarantee. Lease terms for digital media assets generally range from one to five years.

 

Any payments in excess of the minimum annual guarantee are recognized as variable rent expense. Variable payments related to these leases for the period ended December 31, 2024 were $4,055.

17. Material accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty

 

Material accounting policies

 

The material accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below.

 

Basis of preparation and measurement

 

CDM prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying CDM’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed later in this note.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.

 

Consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are all entities over which CDM has control. CDM controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to CDM. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

CDM applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by CDM. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. CDM recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between CDM entities are eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with CDM’s accounting policies.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Functional and presentation currency

 

CDM determines its subsidiaries’ functional currency by reviewing the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of all entities of the CDM group is the Canadian dollar.

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

Transactions and balances

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at fiscal year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Subsidiaries

 

The results and balance sheet of the subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, and

• all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

Goodwill recognized on the acquisition of a subsidiary are treated as assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and translated at the closing rate.

 

Impairment of financial assets

 

At each reporting date, CDM assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, CDM recognizes an impairment loss. IFRS 9 uses forward-looking Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”), CDM applies the impairment model to financial asset measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.

 

Under IFRS 9, expected credit losses will be measured on either of the following bases:

 

 

i.

12-month ECLs which are ECLs that result from possible default events within 12 months after the reporting date; and

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

 

ii.

lifetime ECLs which are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instruments.

 

CDM applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss for all trade receivables. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost or FVOCI are reversed in subsequent years if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories include consumable supplies and work-in-progress being assembled for sale or installation by CDM. 

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

Property, equipment and leaseholds and intangible assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual impairment test. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows relating to the relevant intangible asset (“cash-generating units” or “CGUs”). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU). An impairment loss, if estimated, is recognized for the amount by which the CGU’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Management makes assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of its long lived assets and groups of CGUs’ goodwill, including significant key assumptions relating to revenue growth rates and discount rates. Further, other assumptions are required pertaining to variable and fixed cash flows, and operating margins.

 

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or at any time if an indicator of impairment exists.

 

Goodwill acquired through a business combination is allocated to each CGU or group of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the related business combination.

 

Property, equipment and leaseholds

 

Property, equipment and leaseholds are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to CDM and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying value of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations during the year in which they are incurred.

 

The major categories of property, equipment and leaseholds are depreciated on a straight-line basis as follows:

 

Equipment (in years)

   3 - 10

Leasehold improvements

term of lease but not in excess of the useful lives

 

CDM allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property, equipment and leaseholds to its significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest a change that may otherwise indicate an impairment exists and adjusted if appropriate.

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

Gains and losses on disposals of property, equipment and leaseholds are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying value of the asset and are included as part of other gain or loss on the sale of assets in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of CDM’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition.

 

Identifiable intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include software acquired by CDM. Management tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, and considers at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the life of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be finite. The advertising contracts have limited lives and are amortized over their useful lives, estimated to be between five to nine years. The estimated fair value of lease contract assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease into amortization expense.

 

The major category of intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:

 

Internally generated software (in years)

   3 - 5

 

Leases

 

In assessing whether a contract is, or contains a lease, CDM applies the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in IFRS 16 for all lease contracts entered into or modified. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under the provisions of IFRS 16, substantially all of CDM’s leases are recorded as lease obligations and right-of-use assets.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease obligation are comprised of the following:

 

 

i.

Fixed lease payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

 

ii.

Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

 

iii.

Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

 

iv.

The exercise price of purchase options that CDM is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an option renewal period if CDM is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option, and penalties for early termination of the lease unless CDM is reasonably certain not to terminate early; and

 

v.

Less any lease incentives receivable.

 

Variable payments for leases that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. The variable payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

CDM accounts for any lease and associated non-lease components separately, as opposed to a single arrangement, which is permitted under IFRS 16. CDM records non-lease components such as common area maintenance as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

Interest on the lease obligations is calculated using the effective interest method with rent payments reducing the liability. The lease obligation is remeasured whenever a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, or there is a change in the assessment of the exercise of an extension option. The lease obligation is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset or is recorded in gain or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero or the modification results in a reduction in the scope of the lease.

 

The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the date of commencement to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term.

 

Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes comprise current and deferred income taxes. Income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in OCI, in which case, the income taxes are also recognized directly in equity or in OCI.

 

Current income taxes are the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years.

 

In general, deferred income taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income taxes are determined on a non-discounted basis using income tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated balance sheet dates and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered.

 

Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by CDM and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.

 

Revenue

 

The media segment principally generates revenue from providing advertising services, sales of digital hardware for digital signage networks, installation of hardware, digital software services subscriptions, software maintenance and support services, creative services, and warranties. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. For bundled packages, CDM determines whether individual products and services are distinct (if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it). The consideration is allocated between separate products and service in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

Advertising Media

 

Media revenues consist primarily of advertising revenues generated from customers who advertise their products and services through CDM’s media offerings which include digital out-of-home platforms in shopping malls and office towers, quick service restaurants, and retailers. CDM earns a percentage of all advertising sales made by its customers across its media offerings. Advertising revenue is recognized over time as services are delivered. The transaction price allocated to these services is recognized as the media runs from the start to the end dates specified in the contracts with the customer and is allocated based on the stand-alone selling prices of the distinct services to be provided.

 

Installation and Digital Hardware for digital signage network

 

CDM sells hardware, installation and other professional services for digital signage networks. The installation and other professional services that CDM provides are not a significant integration service, does not customize or modify the hardware and can be performed by another party. The installation and other professional services are therefore accounted for as separate performance obligations and the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices. Revenue for installation and other professional services are recognized upon completion of the installation of the digital hardware at the individual site being installed for the customer. If contracts include the purchase of hardware, revenue for the hardware is recognized at the point in time when hardware is delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the hardware has been shipped to the customer’s specific location, the control of the hardware has passed to the customer and the customer has accepted the hardware.

 

Digital software services subscription and support

 

CDM sells software service subscriptions to customers which provides the functionality for the digital signage network, the customer portal, the content management tool and media player software at the customer’s location. CDM also sells maintenance and support services for the digital signage networks. Software service subscription and maintenance and support services are considered to represent a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time over the life of the contract. For software service subscriptions, customers have payment options of either monthly, quarterly or annual payments over the term of the contract or a single lump sum payment at the inception of the contract. Amounts collected as advanced payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the contract unless the contract contains a renewal option with an embedded material right which provides the customer a material right (such as a free or discounted good or service) and gives rise to a separate performance obligation. If an embedded material right exists, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract including the renewal period. Contracts are evaluated to determine whether renewal options provide the customer with an embedded material right and whether a significant financing arrangement exists. For maintenance and support services, the transaction price is paid monthly, quarterly, or annually over the term of the contract as service is provided.

 

Creative Services

 

CDM provides creative services in the way of producing and managing content to be run on customer’s digital display networks. For creative services, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the project is completed and the customer has accepted the final product. Creative service projects are based on an hourly rate and the transaction price recognized as revenue is the amount to which CDM has a right to invoice based on the amount of hours required to complete the project. Payment of the transaction price is due at commencement, phases, or upon completion of the project.

Significant accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties

 

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

CDM makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future that may not equal actual results. The following are the estimates and judgments applied by management that most significantly impact CDM’s consolidated financial statements. These estimates and judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

 

 

a)

Goodwill and recoverable amount of long lived assets

 

 

Recoverable amount
     
    CDM tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Assessment of impairment for long-lived assets, including property, equipment, leaseholds, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill is performed more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate triggering events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of its long lived assets and groups of CGUs’ goodwill, including revenue growth rates, variable and fixed cash flows, operating margins and discount rates.
     
  b) Income taxes
     
    The timing of reversal of timing differences and the expected income allocation to various tax jurisdictions within Canada affect the effective income tax rate used to compute the deferred income tax asset. During the second quarter of 2023, CDM assessed the recoverability of net deferred income tax assets and determined that the expected return to profitability provided a reasonable expectation that previously derecognized net deferred income tax assets will be utilized to offset future periods of taxable income, resulting in income tax recovery of approximately $8,923 in the second quarter of 2023. Management estimates the reversals and income allocation based on historical and budgeted operating results and income tax laws existing at the consolidated balance sheet dates. In addition, management occasionally estimates the current or future deductibility of certain expenditures, affecting current or deferred income tax balances and expenses.

3. Deferred income taxes

 

Based on substantively enacted corporate tax rates, expected timing of reversals and expected taxable income allocation to various tax jurisdictions, deferred income taxes are as follows:

 

   

June 30, 2025

   

December 31, 2024

 
                 

Deferred income tax assets

               

Property, equipment and leaseholds and deferred tenant inducements - difference between net carrying value and undepreciated capital cost

  $ 211     $ 111  

Accounting provisions not currently deductible

    1,613       1,105  

Income tax credits available

    450       450  

Operating losses available for carry-forward

    9,855       9,184  

Total gross deferred income tax assets

    12,129       10,850  

Future deferred tax liabilities

               

Intangible assets

    (1,296 )     (1,265 )

Total gross deferred income tax liabilities

    (1,296 )     (1,265 )
                 

Net deferred income tax asset recognized

  $ 10,833     $ 9,585  

 

At December 31, 2020 the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets was uncertain and accordingly the net deferred tax assets were derecognized. During the second quarter of 2023, Cineplex Digital Media assessed the recoverability of net deferred income tax assets and determined that the expected return to profitability provided a reasonable expectation that previously derecognized net deferred income tax assets will be utilized to offset future periods of taxable income, resulting in income tax recovery of approximately $8,923 in the second quarter of 2023.

Cineplex Digital Media’s combined statutory income tax rate at June 30, 2025 was 26.5% (2024 - 26.6%).

Basis of preparation and measurement

 

CDM prepares its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires that management exercise judgment in applying CDM’s accounting policies. The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the exception of accounting standards issued since December 31, 2024.

Exhibit 99.5

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On October 15, 2025, Creative Realities Inc. (the “Company” or “CRI”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement” or the “Acquisition”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1001372953 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Buyer”) and Cineplex Entertainment Limited Partnership, a Manitoba limited partnership (“Cineplex”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares (12,742 common shares) of DDC Group International, Inc., an Ontario corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cineplex (“DDC”). No other equity shares of DDC existed other than the common shares. DDC is the parent company of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media Inc., an Ontario corporation (“CDM”), and CDM’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cineplex Digital Media U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CDMUS”). Herein DDC, CDM and CDMUS are collectively referred to as the “CDM Business,” and such acquisition is referred to as the “CDM Acquisition.” All amounts presented are presented in thousands except for per share data.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement defines the total purchase price to be paid in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DDC as CAD$70,000, subject to customary purchase price adjustments based on working capital, closing cash, transaction expenses, and CDM Business closing indebtedness and planned capital expenditures (the “Purchase Price”). The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary and negotiated representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. The Share Purchase Agreement also contains closing conditions requiring that the Company obtain equity and debt financing sufficient to pay the Purchase Price (see below sections called Offering and Debt Financing), that the CDM Acquisition receive regulatory approval pursuant to Canada's Competition Act, and other customary conditions. Prior to consummation of the transaction, regulatory approval pursuant to Canada’s Competition Act was obtained.

 

On November 7, 2025, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement. At the closing of the CDM Acquisition, the Company (indirectly through Buyer) acquired ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DDC in exchange for the Purchase Price (on November 7, 2025, the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) 70,000 equivalent in United States Dollar (“USD”) was approximately USD $50,400). After the estimated purchase price adjustments, the net amount paid to Cineplex in exchange for the shares of DDC was approximately USD$43,302.

 

Offering

 

On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement” or the “Offering”) with certain accredited investors, the lead investor being North Run Strategic Opportunities Fund I, LP (“North Run”), (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors in a private placement, for an aggregate gross purchase price of USD$30,000, an aggregate of 30,000 shares of a newly established series of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares have a stated value of USD$1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value USD$0.01 per share. Conversion of the Preferred Shares into common stock is subject to certain limitations based on (1) a number not to exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock for any particular holder and (2) a total number of shares authorized to be converted. This sale of Preferred Shares is described herein as the “Offering.” The Offering closed on November 6, 2025. The Company used the net proceeds of the Offering to pay a portion of the Purchase Price for the CDM Acquisition, which closed the next day on November 7, 2025.

 

Debt Financing

 

On November 6, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders (the “Lenders”), and First Merchants Bank, an Indiana bank, as Agent for the Lenders (“Agent”). The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the existing credit agreement with Agent dated as of May 23, 2024, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a USD$36,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a USD$22,500 revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan of USD$36,000 and a portion of the proceeds from the Revolver (approximately USD$831) to finance the remaining portion of the purchase price for the CDM Acquisition, pay the Company’s costs related to these transactions (the CDM Acquisition, the Offering and the Debt Financing), and also repay amounts owed under the existing credit agreement. Collectively, the CDM Acquisition, the Offering and the Debt Financing are referred to as the “Transactions”.

 

 

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the Transactions (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”).

 

Transaction Accounting Adjustments have been presented in three separate columns representing the adjustments associated with the Offering, the Debt Financing, and the CDM Acquisition. The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of a true picture of the financial position and the results of operations of the combined companies following the completion of the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments are subject to material change and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are presented as if the Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 is presented as Transactions had been completed on June 30, 2025.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read together with the following:

 

 

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CRI included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025;

 

 

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included as Exhibit 99.4 of this Form 8-K/A;

 

 

the audited consolidated financial statements of CRI included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;

 

 

the audited consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included as Exhibit 99.3 of this Form 8-K/A;

 

 

other information relating to CRI and the CDM Business contained in reports filed by CRI, as applicable, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the following adjustments, which include the Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

 

 

1)

The historical consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the historical IFRS financial information of the CDM Business has been converted to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) to conform to the accounting policies of the Company. The pro forma adjustments include those necessary to reflect the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP that are required to be applied in the preparation of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Additionally, certain items within the CDM Business’s historical presentation have been reclassified to conform to CRI’s financial statement presentation.

 

 

2)

The historical consolidated financial statements of the CDM Business are presented in CAD. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the historical CAD amounts have been translated into USD in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Translation was performed using the exchange rates in effect as of the relevant historical balance sheet dates and the average exchange rates for the applicable historical statement of operations periods, unless otherwise indicated. The resulting translation adjustments are included solely for purposes of presenting the pro forma condensed combined financial information in USD.

 

 

3)

The estimated adjustments related to the Offering.

 

 

4)

The estimated adjustments related to the Debt Financing.

 

 

5)

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition, using the acquisition method of accounting with CRI as the accounting acquirer.

 

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. CRI has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, due to CRI obtaining control over the CDM Business by paying the Purchase Price in cash and organizing the Offering and Debt Financing in order to fund the CDM Acquisition. Thus, CRI will account for the Merger as a business combination in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase price will be allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their respective fair values. The fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the CDM Business have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that CRI management believes are reasonable and based on currently available information. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The final purchase accounting could be materially different from the preliminary estimates used to prepare the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements which could have a material impact on the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments reflect the Transaction Accounting Adjustments related to the Transactions, which are discussed in further detail below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position that would actually have occurred had the Transactions been consummated on the dates assumed or to project the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or period.

 

 

 

 

The accounting policies followed in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those used by CRI as set forth in CRI’s audited historical consolidated financial statements. As noted above, CRI has performed a preliminary evaluation of the pro forma impact of converting the CDM Business’s historical consolidated financial statements from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, and aligning them with those of the Company. A more comprehensive comparison and assessment will occur, which may result in additional differences identified. Additionally, CRI has reclassified certain items within the CDM Business’s historical consolidated financial statements for consistency in the financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported total assets, total liabilities and shareholders’ equity, or net loss of CRI or the CDM Business. See Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements for more information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the costs of any post close integration activities or synergies that may be achieved because of the Transactions or costs to achieve the synergies.

 

CRI and the CDM Business have not had any historical material relationship prior to the CDM Acquisition. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

1.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth herein is based upon the consolidated historical financial statements of CRI and the CDM Business. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented as if the Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2024 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and on June 30, 2025 in respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations had the Transactions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined company will experience after the completion of the Transactions.

 

The estimated adjustments related to the CDM Acquisition have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires that one company is designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. It has been determined that CRI is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the CDM Business are recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

CRI’s historical financial information was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in USD. The CDM Business’s historical financial information was prepared in accordance with IFRS and is presented in CAD, but has been converted to U.S. GAAP and translated into USD and include certain reclassifications to align with CRI’s historical presentation.

 

For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes the pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet are based on items that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the Transactions. Pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based on items that are factually supportable, directly attributable to the Transactions and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from the Transactions, including potential synergies that may be generated in future periods.

 

All amounts presented are presented in thousands except for per share data.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

 

Note C – Offering Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

 

(a)

Gives pro forma effect to the closing of the Offering and, accordingly, reflects the issuance of 30 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $30,000. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 10,000 shares of CRI common stock. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity in the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet because redemption automatically occurs upon a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the Series A Redeemable Convertible Stock’s certificate of designation, and certain transactions are not solely within the control of the Company. However, redemption is not considered probable; therefore, the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not accreted to face value. The balance sheet classification of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is preliminary and may change as a result of the Company completing its analysis. Additionally, Offering costs of $2,410 were netted against the gross carrying value of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock on the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet.

 

Note D – Debt Financing Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

Gives pro forma effect of the Credit Agreement that amends and restates in its entirety the existing credit agreement with Agent dated as of May 23, 2024, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a $36,000 term loan and a $22,500 revolving credit facility. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan of $36,000 and a portion of the proceeds from the Revolver (approximately $831) to finance a portion of the purchase price for the CDM Acquisition, pay the Company’s costs related to the Transactions and also repay amounts owed under the existing credit agreement. The amendment of the credit agreement was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and as a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,009, which is comprised of various debt issuance costs. The accounting conclusion of the debt extinguishment related to the Credit Agreement is preliminary and may change as a result of the Company completing its analysis of the transaction.

 

Note E – CDM Acquisition Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

 

(b)

The CDM Acquisition is considered as a business combination and is accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805- Business Combinations as CRI was determined to be the accounting acquirer and the CDM Business met the definition of a business. For pro forma purposes, CRI paid $42,421 (net of cash acquired of $7,392) for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the CDM Business.

 

 

 

The below table illustrates the pro forma effect of CRI applying the acquisition method of accounting to the CDM Acquisition, whereby the total consideration is allocated to the CDM Business’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Based upon the estimated purchase price and a preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

 

   

Preliminary Purchase

    (15,842 )
         

Fair Value of Identified Net Assets

  $ 19,262  
         

Remaining Unidentified Goodwill Value

  $ 23,159  

 

 

(1)

The customer relationships, developed technology, and non-compete agreements are currently presumed to have an estimated useful life of twenty, ten and five years, respectively and their fair values will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The preliminary fair values of the acquired intangibles were estimated using the multi period excess earnings model for the customer relationships, the relief from royalty method for the developed technology, and the with and without method for the non-compete agreements.

     
 

(2)

Represents the net deferred tax effect difference between the accounting and income tax bases of the various identified assets and liabilities, using an assumed statutory income tax rate of approximately 26.5%.

 

 

 

 

The components of net working capital deficit are as follows:

 

   

Preliminary

Purchase Price

Allocation

 

Current assets:

       

Accounts receivable

  $ 4,138  

Inventory

    1,886  

Due from Cineplex Entertainment LP

    686  

Prepaid and other current assets

    1,114  
         

Total current assets

  $ 7,824  
         

Less current liabilities:

  $ 5,957  

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

    1,090  

Deferred revenue and other

    7,876

    8,743  
         

Total current liabilities

  $ 23,666  
         

Net working capital deficit

  $ (15,842 )

 

 

The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as practicable and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

 

(c)

Reflects adjustments to equity related to:

 

a.

The elimination of the CDM Business’s historical equity balances.

 

b.

Represents the recognition of $1,214 direct and incremental transaction costs incurred after June 30, 2025, in connection with the closing of the CDM Acquisition, which are non-recurring.
