Overview: Network Media Group Inc. and its subsidiaries focus on developing, producing, distributing, and exploiting film and television properties in Canada and the United States with a market cap of approximately CA$1.78 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is derived from its Motion Pictures segment, totaling CA$9.37 million.

Market Cap: CA$1.78M

However, the company remains unprofitable with increasing losses over five years at an average rate of 47.5% annually and a negative return on equity of -21.69%. Despite its seasoned management and board, Network Media's high volatility and short-term liabilities surpassing assets pose challenges. On a positive note, it maintains more cash than total debt and has improved its debt-to-equity ratio significantly over five years from 109.3% to 16.6%.
