−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in certain industries.

−Removed: As part of our Content & Entertainment business, we sell physical goods, including DVDs and Blu-ray discs, at brick-and-mortar stores.
−Removed: Many of such stores in the United States closed during the spring of 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, and many of those have not yet re-opened, or have re-opened on a limited basis.
−Removed: We expect that we will experience a loss of sales of such physical goods due to such closures, and we cannot predict the extent of such losses, or how long the closures or limited openings of the stores may last.
−Removed: As a result of COVID-19, studios have temporarily halted distribution of new content to movie theatres due to mandatory theatre shutdown.
−Removed: Because our digital cinema business earns a Virtual Print Fee when a movie is first played on a system, the temporary theatre closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will result in reduced revenues that service the Prospect Loan.
−Removed: We do not yet know the full impact of such reduced revenues or whether our ability to service the Prospect Loan will be materially affected.
−Removed: We expect the studios to reschedule, once the theatres reopen, the release of those movies originally scheduled during the temporary movie theatre closure.
−Removed: Management believes the cash flows from the Digital Cinema business, including the revenue from the sale of digital cinema projection systems, will be sufficient to pay the Prospect Loan.
−Removed: The Borrower on the Prospect Loan is Cinedigm DC Holdings, LLC and the Prospect Loan is only guaranteed by the digital cinema subsidiaries.

+Added: Many movie theaters in the United States closed during the spring of 2020 and remained
+Added: closed or re-opened on a limited basis through March 31, 2021.
+Added: The majority of major studios shifted films out of the fiscal year to
+Added: dates when more screens would be available, and consumers felt safe to return to theaters.
+Added: Films released during the year had box office
+Added: results below pre-Covid expectations due to theater closure, limited capacity and new commercial models that permitted viewing day and
+Added: date via premium video on demand (“PVOD”) and subscription video on demand (“SVOD”).
+Added: To the extent films are
+Added: not shown in theaters, we do not earn revenue.
+Added: term, there may be a shift in consumer preference towards digital consumption over physical or theatrical viewing.
+Added: Studios may reduce
+Added: their theatrical slates to tentpoles and certain genres releasing other content directly on their own streaming services.
+Added: This decision
+Added: could negatively impact the Company’s ability to license content for the sale of physical product, if those rights are withheld
+Added: to create exclusivity to the platform and reduce revenue opportunities for virtual print fees and sales of digital cinema equipment.
+Added: While the Company has been encouraged by the pace of mass vaccinations, spikes or the emergence of new variants could require future
+Added: These changes could negatively impact results of operations, financial conditional and cash flows.
