Dallas-based movie rental company Blockbuster says the risk it may not complete financing deals raises "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern.
A going-concern qualification refers to an auditor's assessment of a company's ability to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
"While we believe that...we will be in a position to close on the amended credit facility on or about May 11, 2009, there can be no assurance regarding these matters," the filing said. "The risk that we may not successfully complete this refinancing...raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."
Blockbuster reiterated on Monday its fiscal year 2009 forecast for lower worldwide same-store revenues compared with the fourth quarter of 2008.
