SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITY

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We own an 85% interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights. We recorded net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations equal to 11% of outstanding profit interest units retained by the noncontrolling interests.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” We maintain bank accounts with major banks, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of the institutions and believe that the risk of any loss is minimal.

Accounts Receivable, Net

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.

Employee Retention Tax Credit

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") provided an employee retention credit which was a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (the "Appropriations Act") extended and expanded the availability of the employee retention credit through December 31, 2021. The Appropriations Act amended the employee retention credit to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during the 2021 fiscal year.

CINEDIGM CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

The Company qualified for the employee retention credit beginning in June 2020 for qualified wages through September 2021 and filed a cash refund claim during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 for $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an employee retention credit totaling $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in the Employee retention tax credit line on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, the tax credit receivable has been included in the Employee retention tax credit line on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Property 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
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. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charges were recorded from operations for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets.

Intangible Assets, Net

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.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 fair value of investments)

The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities (in thousands):

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As the value 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 at cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

Impairments related to advances were $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Impairments related to advances were $1.6 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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.

The following tables present the Company’s disaggregated revenue by segment and source (in thousands):

Cinema Equipment Segment

Our Cinema Equipment segment 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.

CINEDIGM CORP.

The Cinema Equipment segment 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 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 Deployment'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: (i) return the Systems to us; (ii) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (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 receives the sale proceeds. Such sales were originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.

The Cinema Equipment segment 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 Deployment. This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPF’s and the performance obligation is satisfied at the 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 Segment

Content & Entertainment segment 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’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.

Revenue from the sale of physical goods is recognized after deducting reserves for sales returns and other 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 segment also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third-party feature movies and alternative content. The Content & Entertainment segment’s distribution fee revenue participation in box office receipts are recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. The Content & Entertainment segment 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 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 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations

Revenue earned by our Content & Entertainment segment 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.

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 direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

CINEDIGM CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

Our Content & Entertainment segment 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 nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 segment includes amounts related to the sale of DVDs with future release dates.

Deferred revenue relating to our Cinema & Equipment segment 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended 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.

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.

Concentrations

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Iconic, Distribution Solutions, a division of Alliance Entertainment, Amazon.com, Inc., and Tubi represented 35%, 16%, 14% and 5%, respectively, of Content & Entertainment segment revenues, and approximately 16%, 7%, 14% and 6%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

Direct Operating Costs

Direct operating costs consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, impairments of advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.

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 ("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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive 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 SARs 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

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. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022.

Earnings per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to common stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended December 31,					Nine Months Ended December 31,

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, 12,088,473 and 8,484,982, respectively, potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the diluted loss per share as their impact would have been antidilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU provide temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The ASU primarily includes relief related to contract modifications and hedging relationships, as well as providing a one-time election for the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. This guidance is effective immediately and the amendments were originally to be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. However, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, deferring the sunset date to December 31, 2024. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios and financial assets. Among other things, the amended guidance establishes the "last-of-layer" method for making the fair value hedge accounting for these portfolios more accessible and renames that method the "portfolio layer" method. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the amendments to have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance on troubled debt restructurings while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The ASU also requires that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for loans and leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the amendments to have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

Stock Based Compensation Awards

Awards issued under our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) may be in any of the following forms (or a combination thereof) (i) stock option awards; (ii) SARs; (iii) stock or restricted stock or restricted stock units; or (iv) performance awards. The 2000 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholders having more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject to the continuous service of the participant. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options are set at the discretion of our compensation committee. On November 1, 2017, upon the consummation of the initial equity investment in Cinedigm by Bison, as a result of which there was a change of control of the Company, all stock options (incentive and non-statutory) and shares of restricted stock were vested immediately and the options became fully exercisable.

In connection with the grants of stock options and shares of restricted stock under the 2000 Plan, we and the participants have executed stock option agreements and notices of restricted stock awards setting forth the terms of the grants. The 2000 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 2,380,000 shares of Common Stock to employees, outside directors and consultants.

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 Condensed 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.

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 reportable segments as follows: (i) Cinema Equipment Business ("Cinema Equipment") and (ii) Content and Entertainment Business (“Content & Entertainment”). The Cinema 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 465 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: (i) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and (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 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: (i) return the Systems to us; (ii) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (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 segment operates independently from our Content & Entertainment segment.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $479.2 million and negative working capital of $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 nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $7.9 million. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future.

The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement with East West Bank (“EWB”) providing for a revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit Facility”) of $5.0 million, guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and such subsidiaries’ assets. The Line of Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to 1.5% above the prime rate. The Line of Credit Facility expires on September 15, 2023 with a one-year extension available at EWB’s discretion. As of December 31, 2022, $5.0 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility. Under the Line of Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain financial and nonfinancial covenants including terms which require the Company to maintain certain metrics and ratios, maintain certain minimum cash on hand, and to report financial information to our lender on a periodic basis.

We believe our cash and cash equivalent balances, and availability under our credit facility, as of December 31, 2022 will be sufficient to support our operations for at least twelve months from the filing of this report. The Company may also undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs.

Our 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 Condensed 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 fair 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 Board of Directors.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Streaming and Digital experienced 79% growth in “FAST” and TV-VOD revenue due to the addition of six new streaming channels related to the Asian Media Rights, LLC d/b/a Digital Media Rights ("DMR") business acquisition and five managed channel additions of The Country Network, Real Madrid TV, El Rey, The Elvis Presley Channel and The Only Way is Essex. Additionally, Subscription revenue grew 38% primarily due to the Screambox platform performance driven by strong content acquisition strategies driving increasing subscriptions and the aforementioned DMR business acquisition. New releases such as Terrifier 2, MK Ultra, Chesapeake Shores, and continued success of Demon Slayer, Highlander and Short Circuit added to overall performance.

Revenue in Base Distribution increased by 121% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is driven by significant growth in box office theatrical performance bolstered by the Terrifier 2 release during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues generated by the Cinema Equipment business increased as a result of an increase in Phase II variable consideration of $7.4 million during the period offset by lower system revenue and eligible VPF systems. Total system revenue recognized was ($0.3) million and $1.3 million, during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Blockbuster content released during the period ending December 31, 2022 was consistent with Studio output from the prior period, however VPF eligible theatres decreased significantly for the same period last year.

The increase in direct operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 for the Content & Entertainment segment compared to the prior year was primarily due to $6.6 million higher content and licensing costs including royalties and distribution expenses related to the continued growth in revenue noted above, coupled with a $1.2 million increase related to DVD manufacturing and fulfillment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $1.7 million primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in compensation expense primarily from the acquisition of DMR partially offset by a reduction in payroll taxes in the prior year as a result of the CARES Act and $0.7 million increase in other operating expenses primarily from rent, direct marketing and subscriptions, offset by $0.6 million decrease related to stock-based compensation to management and employees.

Public company expenses include accounting, legal, audit, investor relations and other related public company costs.

Depreciation expense decreased primarily due to the majority of our digital cinema projection systems reaching the conclusion of their ten-year useful lives during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Interest expense, net increased by $0.3 million from $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 to $0.4 million for the December 31, 2022 as a result of deferred and earnout consideration accretion related to the acquisitions of Bloody Disgusting, FoundationTV and DMR and interest expense associated with our new Line of Credit facility obtained in September 2022.

Employee retention tax credit was $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to no employee retention credit for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The employee retention tax credits were filed pursuant to the CARES Act.

Streaming and Digital experienced 102% growth in “FAST” and TV-VOD revenue due to the addition of six new streaming channels related to the DMR business acquisition and five managed channel additions of The Country Network, Real Madrid TV, El Rey, The Elvis Presley Channel and The Only Way is Essex. Additionally, Subscription revenue grew 39% primarily due to the Screambox platform performance driven by strong content acquisition strategies driving increasing subscriptions and the aforementioned DMR business acquisition. Top performing titles, including new releases, such as the Terrifier 2, Demon Slayer, Boon, The Ravine, The Mulligan, Incarnation, 7 Days, Chesapeake Shores, When Calls the Heart and the classics, Short Circuit and Highlander added to overall performance.

Revenue in Base Distribution increased by 75% for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is driven by significant growth in box office theatrical performance bolstered by the Terrifier 2 release during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues generated by our Cinema Equipment business decreased slightly despite an increase in Phase II variable consideration of $9.1 million during the period. Total system revenue recognized was $2.0 million and $9.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Blockbuster content released during the period ending December 31, 2022 was consistent with Studio output from the prior period, however VPF eligible theatres decreased significantly for the same period last year.

The increase in direct operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 for the Content & Entertainment segment was primarily due to $11.0 million higher content and licensing costs including royalties and distribution expenses related to the continued growth in revenue noted above, coupled with a $2.4 million increase related to DVD manufacturing and fulfillment, a $1.2 million increase in delivery, platform and Software as a service (“SaaS”) and platform expenses, primarily due to the additive DMR acquisition, $0.7 million related to film restoration and conversion and website content production costs.

The decrease in direct operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 for the Equipment business compared to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in property taxes as a result of system sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $8.5 million primarily due to $2.2 million increase in compensation expense from the acquisitions of Fandor, DMR, and Bloody Disgusting, $1.6 million increase in bonus, severance and insurance expense related to management and employees, $1.0 million increase related to legal expense and $1.1 million increase in other operating expenses primarily from rent, direct marketing and subscriptions.

Public company expenses include accounting, legal, audit, investor relations and other related public company costs.

Depreciation expense decreased primarily due to the majority of our digital cinema projection systems reaching the conclusion of their ten-year useful lives during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Interest expense, net increased by $0.6 million to $0.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 as a result of deferred and earnout consideration accretion related to the acquisitions of Bloody Disgusting, FoundationTV and DMR and interest expense associated with our new Line of Credit facility obtained in September 2022.

Employee retention tax credit was $2.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to no employee retention credit for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The employee retention tax credits were filed pursuant to the CARES Act.

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. The changes in the valuation resulted in a decrease in fair value of $1.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

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.

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 our 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 income (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 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, recovery for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, including other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company decreased accounts payable by $11.8 million to vendors. Cash received from VPFs decreased from the previous period in alignment with the decrease in eligible VPF systems. Prepaid and other current assets increased by $2.7 million. Operating cash flows from the Content & Entertainment segment 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 $1.1 million in advances for the nine months ended 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 nine months ended 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 nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid down $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 nine months ended December 31, 2021 revenues from the sale of digital projections Systems was $9.1 million.

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 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.

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.

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2022. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial 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 December 31, 2022.

Previously Reported Material Weakness on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In the Annual Report 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:

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.

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 Condensed 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.

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

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
