EQUITY INVESTMENT IN A METAVERSE COMPANY, A RELATED PARTYAccounts Receivable, Net

On February 14, 2020, the Company acquired an approximately 11.5% interest in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a leading publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. The Company acquired such interest as a strategic investment and in a private transaction from a shareholder of Metaverse that is related to our major shareholder. Our major shareholder also maintains a significant beneficial interest ownership in Metaverse. Upon consummation of the transaction on February 14, 2020, the Company recorded an initial investment of approximately $25.1 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s Class A common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of $11.2 million, valued as of the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital.

On April 10, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 15% interest in Metaverse in a private transaction from shareholders of Metaverse that are affiliated with the major shareholder of the Company. The Company recorded an additional equity investment of approximately $28.2 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s common stock of $11.0 million, valued at the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in the value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital. This transaction was also recorded as an equity investment in Metaverse.

The Company has accounted for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company can exert significant influence over Metaverse with its direct ownership and affiliation with the Company’s majority shareholders. The Company has made an irrevocable election to apply the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, as it relates to its equity investment in Metaverse.

On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a Level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace. The investment is recorded at fair value as a Level 3 as there is not an active market or observable inputs. As of September 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an independent valuation based on the market approach is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTProperty and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Computer equipment and software

3 - 5 years

Internal use software5 years

Digital cinema projection systems

10 years

Machinery and equipment

3 - 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

3 - 6 years

Internal-Use Software

5 years

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Leasehold improvements are amortized We amortize internal-use software over the shorter of the lease term or theits estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of the leasehold improvements. RepairLong-lived and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized. Upon the sale or other disposition of any property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposal is included in the consolidated statements of operations.Finite-lived Assets

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND FINITE-LIVED ASSETS

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. During the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge wascharges were recorded from operations for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets.

Intangible Assets, Net


INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.  

ASSET ACQUISITIONS

An asset acquisition is an acquisition of an asset, or a group of assets, that does not meet the definition of a business. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by using the cost accumulation model whereby the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairment indicators.

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company reassessed goodwill impairment on its annual measurement date of March 31, 2022 by performing a qualitative analysis and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.


No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021. During

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the sixfair value of investments)

The Company's equity investment in A Metaverse Company ("Metaverse") is in Hong Kong dollars and was translated into US dollars as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 at an exchange rate of 7.8 Hong Kong Dollars to 1 US Dollar. The fair value of this equity investment was measured by the quoted market price of Metaverse on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK: 1616) as of March 31, 2022. On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an independent valuation based on the market approach and is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs. The Company estimated the fair value based on the market approach based on the last known enterprise value adjusting for trends in value from comparable companies. The adjustment to fair value of this investment resulted in a loss of $1.8 million and gain of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As the Companyvalue of the investment in Metaverse is determined based on unobservable inputs, company and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, changes to these assumptions may have a significant impact on the fair value of our investment in Metaverse.

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded a $59 thousand reductionat cost in goodwill as a result from working capital true-upthe Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30 to 90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less. We have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation fees due from our System deployments that had extended payment terms. The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant and hence the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.

Seasonality

Revenues from our Cinema Equipment Business derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the winter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. While Content Entertainment & Business benefits from the winter holiday season, we believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition is becoming less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.Segment


Cinema Equipment Business

Our Cinema Equipment Businesssegment consists of financing vehicles and administrators for Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to theatrical exhibitors and for Systems installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).

We retain ownership of our Systems and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.

For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupment and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.

The Cinema Equipment Businesssegment also provides monitoring, data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment, in order to collect virtual print feesVirtual Print Fees (“VPFs”) from distributors and Alternative Content Fees (“ACFs”) from alternative content providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).

VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a distributor to Phase I Deployment and to Phase II Deployment when distributor's movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to us with respect to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term. One VPF is payable for every digital title initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period the title first plays for general audience viewing in a digital projector equipped movie theatre. The Phase 1 Deployment’s and Phase 2 DeploymentsDeployment's performance obligations for revenue recognition are met at this time.

Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. The Company evaluated the constraining estimates related to the variable consideration and determined that it is not probable to conclude at this point in time that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time, they have the option to: (1)(i) return the Systems to us; (2)(ii) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3)(iii) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors. Cinedigm recognizes revenue once the customer takes possession of the Systems and Cinedigm receivedreceives the sale proceeds. Such sales were originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.


The Cinema Equipment Businesssegment earns an administrative fee of approximately 5%5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5%2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC.Deployment. This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPF’s and the performance obligation is satisfied at thatthe time the related VPF fees are due which is at the time the movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. The service fees are recognized as a point in time revenue when the corresponding VPF fees are due from the distributors.

A limited number of systems from our Phase I deployment remain eligible for VPFs from certain distributors where Phase I exhibitors have renewed their term on an annual basis. We continue to pursue system sales for these remaining exhibitors. Our Phase II deployment currently consists of a limited number of exhibitors who purchased their own systems and have not yet reached recoupment or the end of their contractual term. We continue to administer VPFs for these limited systems from certain distributors.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, $7.4 million and $9.1 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the accounts payable balance as constrained variable consideration at the beginning of the year. The Company recognized the revenue once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration was resolved. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $1.0 million remains on our balance sheet in accounts payable as constrained variable consideration.

Content & Entertainment BusinessSegment

Content & Entertainment Businesssegment earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or “OTT Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Physical Revenue” or “Base Distribution Business”). Fees earned are typically a percentage based on the net amounts received from our customers. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. The Company’s performance obligations include the delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/free ad-supported streaming TV (“FAST”) on the digital platforms, and shipment of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform (the company’sCompany’s digital content is considered functional IP), at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer. The Company considers the delivery of content through various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation. Physical revenue

Revenue from the sale of physical goods is recognized after deducting the reserves for sales returns and other allowances, which are accounted for as variable consideration.

allowances. Reserves for potential sales returns of physical goods and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

The Content & Entertainment Businesssegment also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third partythird-party feature movies and alternative content. The Content & Entertainment Business’ssegment’s distribution fee revenue and Content & Entertainment Business’s participation in box office receipts are recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. The Content & Entertainment Businesssegment has the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third partythird-party feature movies’movie's or alternative content’s theatrical release date.

The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognitionrecognition.

We have omitted disclosure on the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations and estimated timing of revenue recognition as our contracts with customers that have a duration of more than one year are immaterial.

Principal Agent Considerations

Revenue earned by our Content & Entertainment Businesssegment from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and

which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.


Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in cost of goods solddirect operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Our Content & Entertainment Businesssegment recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances is variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

During the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2022, we did not recognize any credit losses or reversals of previously recorded provisions, and did not have any write-offs charged against the allowance.

Contract Liabilities

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, even if amounts are refundable.

Deferred revenue pertaining to our Content & Entertainment Businesssegment includes amounts related to the sale of DVDs with future release dates.

Deferred revenue relating to our Cinema & Equipment Businesssegment pertains to revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions that are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period. It also includes unamortized balances in connection with activation fees due from the Systems deployments that have extended payment terms.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022 was $0.3 million.$0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022, the additions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

Revenue recognized as of the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the year was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Revenue recognized as of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the quarter was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We expect to recognize substantially all of the deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 as revenue in the next three months ending December 31, 2022. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, $1.7 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the accounts payable balance as constrained variable consideration at the beginning of the year. The Company recognized the revenue related once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration was resolved.


Participations and royalties payable

When we use third partiesthird-parties to distribute company owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us by such studios or content producers.

Stock-based Compensation


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units.units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statementsCondensed Consolidated Statements of operationsOperations and comprehensive lossComprehensive Income (Loss) based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and nonemployee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee and nonemployee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and stock appreciation rightsSARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.

NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERSEarnings per Share

Basic and diluted net lossincome (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common share has been calculated as follows:

Basic net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders  =Net loss attributable to common stockholders
Weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the period

Diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders=   Net loss attributable to common stockholders
Weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the period plus potential dilutive shares

Stock issued and treasury stock repurchased or reacquiredoutstanding during the period are weighted forperiod. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the portionnet income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of the period that they are outstanding.

We incurred net loss for the threecommon shares outstanding and six months ended September 30, 2022, and therefore the impact of potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants totaling 9,664,050outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares as of September 30, 2022, wasare excluded from the computations of lossdiluted income (loss) per share asif their impacteffect would have beenbe anti-dilutive. A net loss available to common stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

9.7. INCOME TAXES

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions. We recorded an income tax benefit (expense) of zero$0.0 million for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $487 thousand$0.0 million and $550 thousand$0.6 million for the three and sixnine months ended September 30, 2021.December 31, 2021, respectively. We have not recorded tax benefits on our loss before income taxes because we have provided for a full valuation allowance that offsets potential deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards, reflecting our inability to use such loss carry forwards.

Our effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021 was zero0% and negative 12.4%4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was 0% and (14%), respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “estimates,” and similar words. Forward-looking statements represent, as of the date of this report, our judgment relating to, among other things, future results of operations, growth plans, sales, capital requirements and general industry and business conditions applicable to us. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Since our inception, we have played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to our pioneering role in transitioning approximately 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have become a leading distributor of independent content, both through organic growth and acquisitions. We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, Televisa, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Scholastic, as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, Tubi and most video-on-demand (“VOD”) and free ad-supported television (“FAST”) streaming platforms, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

We report our financial results in two primaryreportable segments as follows: (1) cinema equipment business(i) Cinema Equipment Business ("Cinema Equipment") and (2) content(ii) Content and entertainment businessEntertainment Business (“Content & Entertainment”). The cinema equipment businessCinema Equipment segment consists of the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout North America. It also provides fee-based support to over 675465 movie screens as well as directly to exhibitors and other third-party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment operates in: (1)(i) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and (2)(ii) branded and curated over-the-top (“OTT”) digital network business providing entertainment channels and applications.

Beginning in December 2015, certain of our cinema equipment began to reach the conclusion of their 10-year deployment payment period with certain distributors and, therefore, Virtual Print Fee (“VPF”) revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. The reduction in VPF revenue on cinema equipment businessCinema Equipment systems approximately coincided with the conclusion of certain of our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, the reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations partially offset the reduced VPF revenue since November 2017.

Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time they have the option to: (1)(i) return the Systems to us; (2)(ii) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3)(iii) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors. Such sales were as originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.

We are structured so that our cinema equipment businessCinema Equipment segment operates independently from our Content & Entertainment business. segment.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of September 30,December 31, 2022, we had approximately $0.0 million of non-recourse outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our cinema equipment business. We have approximately $0.0 million of outstanding debt principal and $3.8 million due on the outstanding credit line, as of September 30, 2022 that is attributable to our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.


Risks and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions created significant volatility and uncertainty impacting the Company’s results for the period. As part of our Content & Entertainment business, the Company sells DVDs and Blu-ray discs at brick-and-mortar stores. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic impact are likely to result in sustained volatility and uncertainty, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity

We have incurred net losses historically and net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2022 of $11.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, we hadhas an accumulated deficit of $484.2$479.2 million and negative working capital of $10.1$4.5 million. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of $4.9 million and ($6.9) million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 was $6.3$7.9 million. Based on these and prior conditions, the Company entered into the following transactions described below.

The net proceeds to the Company from the sale, after deducting the fees of the placement agent but before paying the Company’s estimated offering expenses, was approximately $6.5 million.

In October 2021, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Line Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital, LLC (“B. Riley Principal Capital”). Pursuant to the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to B.

No sales under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement were made during the six months ended September 30, 2022.


As of September 30, 2022, there is still approximately $38.0 million available under the 2020 Shelf Registration Statement, and $37.6 million available under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, to raise additional capital.

Sale of Cinematic Equipment

On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into two separate agreements (the “AMC Equipment Purcahse Agreements”) for the sale of cinematic equipment to American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”). The agreement included the sale in tranches of a total of 2,369 cinematic projectors starting in March 2021 throughout January 2023 for a total cash consideration of $10.8 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue for $10.3 million. A portion of the total proceeds was utilized to pay off the remaining Prospect note payable.

Equity Investment in a Metaverse Company, a Related Party

On February 14, 2020, the Company acquired an approximately 11.5% interest in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a leading publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. The Company acquired such interest as a strategic investment and in a private transaction from a shareholder of Metaverse that is relatedreport financial information to our major shareholder. Our major shareholder also maintainslender on a significant beneficial interest ownership in Metaverse. Upon consummation of the transaction on February 14, 2020, the Company recorded an initial investment of approximately $25.1 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s common stock of $11.2 million, valued as of the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital.periodic basis.

On April 10, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 15% interest in Metaverse in a private transaction from shareholders of Metaverse that are affiliated with the major shareholder of the Company. The Company recorded an additional equity investment of approximately $28.2 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s common stock of $11.0 million, valued at the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in the value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital. This transaction was also recorded as an equity investment in Metaverse.

The Company has accounted for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company can exert significant influence over Metaverse with its direct ownership and affiliation with the Company’s majority shareholders. The Company has made an irrevocable election to apply the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, as it relates to its equity investment in Metaverse.

On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a Level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace. The investment is recorded at fair value as a Level 3 as there is not an active market or observable inputs. As of September 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an independent valuation based on the market approach is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs.

We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and cash equivalent balances, at September 30,and availability under our credit facility, as of December 31, 2022 and (ii) expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient forto support our operations and capital needs, for at least twelve months from the filing of this report. OurThe Company may also undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use capital resources and obtain additional capital. Failure to generate additional revenues, obtain additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.needs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.


Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that the following accounting policiesfair value estimates, revenue recognition, asset acquisitions and business combinations are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our boardBoard of directors.Directors.

FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairment indicators.

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test.

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge was recorded to goodwill, intangible, and long-lived assets.

Investment in Metaverse


Fair Value Hierarchy

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the company recorded a charge of $1.8 million and $1 million in the company’s investment in Metaverse.  

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We determine revenue recognition by:

identifying the contract, or contracts, with the customer;

identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

determining the transaction price;

allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

We recognize revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the services provided, sales of physical products (DVD’s and Blu-ray Discs) or when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform or available on the point-of-sale for transactional and video on demand services which is when the control of the promised products and services is transferred to our customers and our performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied. Revenues that might be subject to various taxes are recorded net of transaction taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales value-added taxes and other similar taxes.

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30 to 90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less. We have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation fees due from our System deployments that had extended payment terms. The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant and hence the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.


Cinema Equipment Business

Our Cinema Equipment Business consists of financing vehicles and administrators for 355 Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to theatrical exhibitors and for 320 Systems installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).

We retain ownership of our Systems and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.

For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupment and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.

The Cinema Equipment Business also provides monitoring, data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment, in order to collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from distributors and Alternative Content Fees (“ACFs”) from alternative content providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).

VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a distributor to Phase I Deployment and to Phase II Deployment when distributor’s movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term. One VPF is payable for every digital title initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period the title first plays for general audience viewing in a digital projector equipped movie theatre. The Phase 1 Deployment’s and Phase 2 Deployments performance obligations for revenue recognition are met at this time.

Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter.

Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors. Such sales were originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan. Cinedigm recognizes revenue once the customer takes possession of the Systems and Cinedigm received the sale proceeds. Total system revenue was $0.7 million and $2.2 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total system revenue was $1.9 million and $7.8 million, during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.


The Cinema Equipment Business earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPFs and the performance obligation is satisfied at that time the related VPF fees are due which is at the time the movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. The service fees are recognized as a point in time revenue when the corresponding VPF fees are due from the distributors.

A limited number of systems from our Phase I deployment remain eligible for VPFs from certain distributors where Phase I exhibitors have renewed their term on an annual basis. We continue to pursue system sales for these remaining exhibitors. Our Phase II deployment currently consists of a limited number of exhibitors who purchased their own systems and have not yet reached recoupment or the end of their contractual term. We continue to administer VPFs for these limited systems from certain distributors.

Content & Entertainment Business

Content & Entertainment Business earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or “OTT Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Physical Revenue” or “Base Distribution Business”). Fees earned are typically a percentage based on the net amounts received from our customers. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. The Company’s performance obligations include the delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/free ad-supported streaming TV (“FAST”) on the digital platforms, and shipment of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer. The Company considers the delivery of content through various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation. Physical revenue is recognized after deducting the reserves for sales returns and other allowances, which are accounted for as variable consideration.

Physical goods reserved for sales returns and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

Content & Entertainment Business also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature movies and alternative content. Content & Entertainment Business’s distribution fee revenue and Content & Entertainment Business’s participation in box office receipts are recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. Content & Entertainment Business has the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature movies’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.


Principal Agent Considerations

We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and

which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in cost of goods sold because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Our Content & Entertainment Business recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances is variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

Contract Liabilities

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, even if amounts are refundable.

Deferred revenue pertaining to our Content & Entertainment Business includes amounts related to the sale of DVDs with future release dates.

Deferred revenue relating to our Cinema Equipment Business pertains to revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions that are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period. It also includes unamortized balances in connection with activation fees due from the Systems deployments that have extended payment terms.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances, as of September 30, 2022 was $0.3 million. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the additions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

Participations and royalties payable

When we use third parties to distribute company owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us by such studios or content producers.


ASSET ACQUISITIONS

An asset acquisition is an acquisition of an asset, or a group of assets, that does not meet the definition of a business as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single or group of similar, identifiable assets. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by using the cost accumulation model whereby the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Determining and valuing intangible assets requires judgment.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates.

ASC 805 defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. ASC 805 also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.

Changes in fair value in Metaverse

On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace, but with the trading of the shares being halted the Company needed to reassess the fair value level of the investment. Without an active market where the shares are being traded, the investment no longer qualifies as a level 1. As of September 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an independent valuation based on the market approach is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (including the results of Cinema Equipment Business segment) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $2.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Cinema Equipment Business segment decreased primarily due to a decrease in systems sales and eligible VPF systems. Adjusted EBITDA from the Content & Entertainment Business and Corporate decreased by $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to an increase of $4.8 million in direct operating expense and $2.4 million higher selling, general and administrative expenses, versus previous year despite a $4.6 million increase in Streaming digital revenue, adding channels, and acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including itsour stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.


We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing our performance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net lossincome (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from operations or net loss from continuing operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Changes in fair value in Metaverse

On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace, but with the trading of the shares being halted the Company needed to reassess the fair value level of the investment. Without an active market where the shares are being traded, the investment no longer qualifies as a level 1. As of September 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an independent valuation based on the market approach is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs. The changes in the valuation resulted in a loss of $1.8 million during the six months ended September 30, 2022.

Income Tax Benefit

We recorded income tax expense of zero for the six months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $550 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (including the results of Cinema Equipment Business segment) for the six months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $9.7 million compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Cinema Equipment Business segment decreased primarily due to a decrease in systems sales and eligible VPF systems. Adjusted EBITDA from the Content & Entertainment Business and Corporate decreased by $3.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021, due to an increase of $7.6 million in direct operating expense and $5.5 million higher selling, general and administrative expenses, versus previous year despite a $7.9 million increase in Streaming digital revenue, adding channels, and acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including its stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing our performance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or net loss from continuing operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.


Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:

For the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022, net cash provided byused in operating activities is primarily driven by incomeloss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, recovery for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, gain on extinguishment of note payable, including other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022, the Company decreased accounts payable by $5.5$11.8 million to vendors. Cash received from VPFs decreased from the previous period in alignment with the decrease in eligible VPF systems. Changes in accounts receivable from our studio customers largely impact cash flows from operating activities and vary based on the seasonality of movie release schedules by the major studios. Prepaid and other current assets increased by $2.9$2.7 million. Operating cash flows from the Content & Entertainment Businesssegment are typically seasonally lower during the first two fiscal quarters and higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season. In addition, we made $1.0$1.1 million in advances for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2022, we make advances on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months.


For the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by income from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, provision for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, gain on extinguishment of note payable, including other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2021, the Company paid down $18.3$32.6 million to vendors at both the Content & Entertainment segment and Corporate. Operating cash flows from the Content & Entertainment segment are typically higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season, and lower in the other two quarters as we pay royalties on such revenues. In addition, we make advances on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twenty four months. For the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2021 revenues from the sale of digital projections Systems was $7.8$9.1 million.

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows used in investing activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $0.3 million.

Contractual Obligations

We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, marketing and promotional activities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. We feel we are adequately financed for at least the next twelve months; however, we may need to raise additional capital for working capital as deemed necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Seasonality

Revenues from our Cinema Equipment Business derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the winter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. While Content & Entertainment Business benefits from the winter holiday season, we believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition, is becoming less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than as discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Note 3 - Other Interests to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we hold a 100% equity interest in CDF2 Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation on our operations has not been significant to date. However, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the future would not have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Definition and Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief OperatingFinancial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act), as of September 30,December 31, 2022. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, on a timely basis, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures due to the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30,December 31, 2022.

Previously Reported Material Weakness on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In the Annual reportReport Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2022, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022. In the evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in the following:

a) Internal controls related to our financial close and reporting process;

b) Information and communication controls; and

c) Insufficient complement of corporate personnel with appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge and experience commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters completely and accurately.

As a result of this evaluation, management extensively used outside consultants who possessed the appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge.

Remediation. Following identification of this control deficiency, management has implemented modifications to better ensure that the Company has appropriate and timely reviews on all financial reporting analysis. In addition, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify our remediation plan. Management will test and evaluate the implementation of these modifications to ascertain whether they are designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that they will prevent or detect a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements.

36



The steps we took to address the deficiencies identified included:

we hired a new Chief Financial Officer;

we hired a new Executive Vice-PresidentVice President (“EVP”) Finance & Accounting;

we have restructured accounting processes and revised organizational structures to enhance accurate accounting and appropriate financial reporting;

we have hired additional experienced accounting personnel in the corporate office to enhance the application of accounting standards and our financial closing and reporting process;

we have engaged external advisors to provide financial accounting and reporting assistance;

we have enhanced information and communication processes through information technology solutions to ensure that information needed for financial reporting is accurate, complete, relevant and reliable, and communicated in a timely manner; and

we have engaged external advisors to evaluate and document the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and assist with the remediation and implementation of our internal control function.

As noted above, we believe that, as a result of management’s in-depth review of its accounting processes, and the additional procedures management has implemented, there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this Form 10-Q and, to the best of our knowledge, we believe that the consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

We and our Board treat the controls surrounding, and the integrity of, our financial statements with the utmost priority. Management is committed to the planning and implementation of remediation efforts to address control deficiencies and any other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts are intended to both address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and we believe the measures described above will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness we have identified. Our remediation efforts have begun, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to strengthen controls or to modify the remediation plan described above, which may require additional implementation time.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes, other than our remediation efforts discussed above, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarterthree months ended September 30,December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
