Platform (Unconsolidated) Performance: Excluding consolidated funds, Platform revenues were $15.2 million in 2025 compared to $20.9 million in 2024. Platform Net Loss was $21.2 million in 2025 versus $19.6 million in 2024.
Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenues decreased 60.7% year-over-year. This was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of hospitality funds (Caliber Hospitality, LP, CHT, and subsidiaries) and the DoubleTree by Hilton Tucson Convention Center (TCC), which significantly reduced consolidated fund revenues.
- Digital Asset Loss: The company incurred a $5.8 million unrealized loss due to the change in fair value of its LINK holdings. The company purchased 562,535 LINK tokens with a cost basis of $12.6 million; the fair value at year-end was $6.8 million.
- Expense Reduction: Total expenses decreased 57.1% to $27.7 million, largely due to the deconsolidation of funds and cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions expected to save $3.9 million annually.
- Debt Maturities: As of March 25, 2026, $24.5 million of corporate and convertible notes have matured or will mature within the next 12 months. The company does not have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy these obligations.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Going Concern Warning: The independent auditor has issued an opinion with "Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." This is due to recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operations, and the inability to satisfy near-term debt maturities with current cash resources.
Management Plans to Address Liquidity:
- Raise $20 million via Series AA preferred stock (Reg A+ offering); $6.4 million raised to date.
- Refinance 12-month notes into 36-month terms; $6.4 million refinanced to date.
- Convert corporate notes to common stock; $1.9 million converted to date.
- Raise equity capital via ELOC and ATM facilities to support the LINK strategy.
- Reduce operating costs and collect receivables.
Key Risks:
- Digital Asset Volatility: The LINK treasury strategy exposes the company to significant price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and cybersecurity risks. The company currently holds 100% of LINK in hot wallets with Coinbase Custody.
- Debt Service: Failure to refinance or raise capital could lead to defaults on unsecured corporate notes.
- Regulatory: Risk of being deemed an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 due to digital asset holdings, which could restrict operations.
- Real Estate Market: Exposure to interest rate fluctuations, inflation, and potential declines in real estate valuations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Liquidity Status: Verify the progress of the Series AA preferred stock offering and the note conversion program to determine if the company can meet the $24.5 million in debt maturing within 12 months.
- Digital Asset Valuation: Monitor the fair value of LINK holdings and the company's ability to generate staking yield versus the risk of further unrealized losses.
- Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the $29.6 million in corporate notes to understand potential acceleration clauses or default triggers.
- Platform Revenue Trends: Assess the sustainability of the unconsolidated Platform revenue stream ($15.2M) independent of the volatile consolidated fund results.
- Going Concern Mitigation: Evaluate the probability of management's plans (refinancing, equity raises) succeeding given the current market environment.
