+Added: We report our financial results in two primary
+Added: segments as follows:
+Added: (1) cinema equipment business and (2) media content and entertainment business (“Content & Entertainment”
+Added: The cinema equipment business segment consists of the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our

−Removed: Furthermore, because
−Removed: the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment

−Removed: The reduction in VPF revenue on cinema equipment business systems approximately coincided with the conclusion

(1) return the Systems to us;

or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value.
−Removed: permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors.
−Removed: Such sales were as originally contemplated
−Removed: as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.
−Removed: We are structured so that our cinema equipment business segment
−Removed: operates independently from our Content & Entertainment business.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $11.9 million
−Removed: of non-recourse outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our cinema equipment business.
−Removed: We also have approximately
−Removed: $13.3 million of outstanding debt principal, as of December 31, 2020 that is attributable to our Content & Entertainment and
−Removed: Corporate segments.
−Removed: and Uncertainties
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have
−Removed: created significant volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in certain industries.
−Removed: Closures of certain entertainment facilities and
−Removed: retail locations have significantly impacted consumers’ behaviors as a result of the virus outbreak and corresponding preventative
−Removed: measures taken around the world to mitigate the spread of the virus.
−Removed: As part of our Content & Entertainment business, we sell
−Removed: physical goods, including DVDs and Blu-ray discs, at brick-and-mortar stores.
−Removed: Many of such stores in the United States closed
−Removed: 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
−Removed: We expect that we will experience a loss of sales of such physical goods due to such closures, and we cannot predict the
−Removed: extent of such losses, or how long the closures or limited openings of the stores may last.
−Removed: As part of our Cinema Equipment business,
−Removed: we earn revenues that are generated when movies are exhibited by theatres.
−Removed: Many movie theatres in the United States closed during
−Removed: 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: The majority of major studios moved releases originally scheduled for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to future dates
−Removed: with the exception of two Studios that had theatrical releases that opened in theatres on the same day as becoming available on
−Removed: a streaming channel.
−Removed: To the extent movies are not shown in movie theatres due to the closures, we have not received, and will
−Removed: not receive, related revenue.
−Removed: The studios that produce movies may elect to delay the release of movies until theatres re-open,
−Removed: or to bypass exhibiting movies in theatres at all and distribute the movies through other means, such as on streaming platforms,
−Removed: in which case we would not earn revenues at all from such movies.

+Added: Risks and Uncertainties
+Added: The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic
+Added: repercussions created significant volatility and uncertainty impacting the Company’s results for the period.
+Added: As part of our
+Added: Content & Entertainment business, the Company sells DVDs and Blu-ray discs at brick-and-mortar stores.
+Added: With the closure of
+Added: non-essential retail stores beginning in the spring of 2020, the sale of physical discs through our retail partners declined
+Added: although this was partially offset by digital purchases of physical product.
+Added: As part of our Cinema Equipment business, the Company
+Added: earns revenue when movies are exhibited in theatres.
+Added: As vaccines became readily available and COVID cases decreased, major studios
+Added: began to test consumer confidence by releasing blockbusters in the theatrical venues during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
+Added: This test period encouraged theatre re-openings and proved commercial viability for theatrical distribution of tentpole films.
+Added: released during this period saw an uptick in box office revenue compared to the previous 12 months;
+Added: however, box office results
+Added: remained below pre-Covid expectations due to limited seating capacities and shortened windows for release on streaming platforms
+Added: such as premium video on demand (“PVOD”) and subscription video on demand (“SVOD”).
+Added: To the extent films are
+Added: not shown in theatres, we do not earn revenue.
+Added: Longer term, there may be a shift in consumer
+Added: preference towards digital consumption over theatrical viewing.
+Added: Studios may reduce their theatrical slates to tentpoles and certain genres
+Added: releasing other content directly on their own streaming services.
+Added: If fewer movies are released theatrically, this shift to digital viewing
+Added: reduces revenue opportunities for virtual print fees and sales of digital cinema equipment.
+Added: While the Company has been encouraged by the
+Added: pace of mass vaccinations, spikes or the emergence of new variants could require future closures, which impact the Cinema Equipment business.
+Added: In connection to the CEG business, if larger
+Added: branded companies choose to make their content available earlier on their own streaming platforms, this could limit our ability monetize
+Added: this content on a transactional digital basis, as consumers can access it via the company’s streaming platform.
+Added: However, most content
+Added: suppliers including filmmakers and producers, do not have their own streaming platforms and rely on us for distribution through our digital
+Added: home entertainment business and OTT digital networks.
+Added: As a result, this risk is limited, and our digital distribution capabilities
+Added: and digital networks provide us with the opportunity to take advantage of this consumer shift towards digital consumption.
+Added: Over the last year and a half, the COVD-19 pandemic
+Added: resulted in a film and TV production slow-down.
+Added: Independent producers and filmmakers had to either suspend or delay their productions
+Added: due to rising infection rates and the high costs of appropriate COVID-19 production protocols.
+Added: As a result, there are fewer available
+Added: films to acquire, so our pipeline for content could be negatively impacted.
+Added: As well, with the rise of new variants, productions
+Added: may be at risk again of shutting down or being delayed, which would further limit available content.
+Added: The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in an
+Added: acceleration of cord-cutting, and, as more consumers move away from cable, this could lead to a decrease in cable TV VOD revenues, as
+Added: well as a decrease in licensing fees as Pay One window budgets get shifted from licensing and towards originals.
+Added: However, given
+Added: the overall shift towards digital consumption, these risks may be offset by increased revenues from transactional, subscription and ad
+Added: supported/FAST platforms, including our own owned and operated digital network business.
+Added: We have incurred net losses historically and have
+Added: an accumulated deficit of $469.0 million and negative working capital of $9.5 million as of June 30, 2021.
+Added: We may continue to generate
+Added: net losses for the foreseeable future.
+Added: In addition, we have debt-related contractual obligations as of June 30, 2021 and beyond.
+Added: on these conditions, the Company entered into the following transactions:

+Added: On June 22, 2021, the maturity date of the East
+Added: West Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 - Notes Payable) with East West Bank was extended from June 30, 2021 to September 28,

+Added: from East West Bank, the Company’s existing lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) of
+Added: the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
+Added: The PPP Loan matures on April 10, 2022 (the “PPP
+Added: Maturity Date”), accrues interest at 1% per annum and may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty.
+Added: No interest payments are
+Added: due within the initial six months of the PPP Loan.
+Added: The interest accrued during the initial six-month period is due and payable, together

+Added: Small Business Administration had approved the Company’s PPP Loan forgiveness application for the
+Added: entire PPP Loan amount and accrued interest effective as of June 30, 2021.
+Added: The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized as a gain of
+Added: $2.2 million during the Company’s fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021.
+Added: Upon a series
+Added: of payments between April 30 and July 9, 2021, the Company paid in full the Prospect loan non-recourse debt amount by paying an aggregate
+Added: principal amount of $7.8 million.
+Added: Pre-payment of the Prospect loan was permissible without penalty.
+Added: We believe the combination of:
+Added: (i) our cash and
+Added: cash equivalent balances at June 30, 2021, (ii) expected cash flows from operations, and (iii) the capacity under existing arrangements
+Added: and access to new sources of capital will be sufficient to satisfy our contractual obligations, as well as liquidity for our operational
+Added: and capital needs, for twelve months from the filing of this document.
+Added: Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may
+Added: need to use capital resources and obtain additional capital.
+Added: Failure to generate additional revenues, obtain additional capital or manage
+Added: discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: Our consolidated financial statements are prepared
+Added: in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
+Added: In connection with the
+Added: preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that
+Added: affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures.
+Added: We base our assumptions, estimates
+Added: and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated
+Added: financial statements are prepared.
+Added: On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments
+Added: to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
+Added: However, because future events and their effects
+Added: cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
+Added: Our significant accounting policies are discussed
+Added: in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Financial Statements
+Added: and Supplementary Data , of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
+Added: Management believes that the following accounting policies are the
+Added: most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult,
+Added: subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
+Added: Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.
+Added: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
+Added: Property and equipment are stated at cost, less
+Added: accumulated depreciation and amortization.
+Added: Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
+Added: of the respective assets as follows:
+Added: Computer equipment and software
+Added: Internal use software
+Added: Digital cinema projection systems
+Added: Machinery and equipment
+Added: Furniture and fixtures
+Added: Leasehold improvements are being amortized over
+Added: the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
+Added: Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as
+Added: Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.
+Added: Software developed or purchased for internal use
+Added: by the Company is capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life.
+Added: Changes in these estimates could result in impairment in the
+Added: value of the asset.
+Added: Useful lives are determined based on an estimate
+Added: of either physical or economic obsolescence, or both.
+Added: During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we have neither made any revisions
+Added: to estimated useful lives, nor recorded any impairment charges on our property, equipment and internal use software.
+Added: FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES
+Added: Goodwill, Finite-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
+Added: We evaluate our goodwill for impairment in the
+Added: fourth quarter of each fiscal year (as of March 31), or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting
+Added: unit is below its carrying amount.
+Added: The determination of whether or not goodwill has become impaired involves a significant level of judgment
+Added: in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting units.
+Added: Inherent in the fair value determination
+Added: for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation
+Added: of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to our operations.
+Added: extent additional information arises, market conditions change or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding
+Added: whether goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that could have a material adverse effect on
+Added: our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
+Added: The Company has the option to assess goodwill
+Added: for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
+Added: unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test.
+Added: The quantitative test involves comparing the estimated
+Added: fair value of a reporting unit with its respective book value, including goodwill.
+Added: If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill
+Added: is considered not to be impaired.
+Added: If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, an impairment loss is recognized
+Added: in an amount equal to the excess.
+Added: The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually
+Added: During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no impairment charges recorded on goodwill.
+Added: elected to conduct a qualitative goodwill assessment and in 2020 we conducted a quantitative goodwill assessment.
+Added: In determining fair
+Added: value, we used various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections or forecasts derived from analysis
+Added: of business prospects, economic or market trends and any regulatory changes that may occur.
+Added: We estimated the fair value of the reporting
+Added: unit using a net present value methodology, which is dependent on significant assumptions related to estimated future discounted cash
+Added: flows, discount rates and tax rates.
+Added: Certain of the estimates and assumptions that we used in determining the value of our CEG reporting
+Added: unit are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies .
+Added: We review the recoverability of our long-lived
+Added: assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists.
+Added: Determining whether
+Added: impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related
+Added: to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value,
+Added: The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived
+Added: assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows.
+Added: If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the
+Added: total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired.
+Added: We then estimate the fair value of
+Added: the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.
+Added: An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair
+Added: value is determined to be less than its carrying value.
+Added: Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.
+Added: REVENUE RECOGNITION
+Added: We determine revenue recognition by:
+Added: identifying the contract, or contracts, with the customer;
+Added: identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: determining the transaction price;
+Added: allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.
+Added: We recognize revenue in the amount that reflects
+Added: the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the services provided, sales of physical products (DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) or when
+Added: the content is available for subscription on the digital platform or available on the point-of-sale for transactional and video on demand
+Added: services which is when the control of the promised products and services is transferred to our customers and our performance obligations
+Added: under the contract have been satisfied.
+Added: Revenues that might be subject to various taxes are recorded net of transaction taxes assessed
+Added: by governmental authorities such as sales value-added taxes and other similar taxes.
+Added: Payment terms and conditions vary by customer
+Added: and typically provide net 30 to 90 day terms.
+Added: We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing
+Added: component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer
+Added: and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.
+Added: We have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation
+Added: fees due from our System deployments that had extended payment terms.
+Added: The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant
+Added: and hence the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.
Cinema Equipment Business
+Added: Our Cinema Equipment Business consists of financing
+Added: vehicles and administrators for 2,519 Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to
+Added: theatrical exhibitors and for 3,025 Systems installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II
+Added: Deployment”).
+Added: We retain ownership of our digital cinema equipment
+Added: (the “Systems”) and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment
+Added: payment period.
+Added: For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do
+Added: not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupment
+Added: and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.
+Added: The Cinema Equipment Business also provides monitoring,
+Added: data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment,
+Added: in order to collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture studios and distributors and ACFs from alternative content
+Added: providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).
+Added: VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant
+Added: to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase I Deployment and to Phase II Deployment
+Added: when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres.
+Added: VPFs are earned and
+Added: payable to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term.
+Added: One VPF is payable for every digital title
+Added: initially displayed per System.
+Added: The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the
+Added: Systems in any given accounting period.
+Added: VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the digital title first plays on a System for
+Added: general audience viewing in a digitally equipped movie theatre, as Phase I Deployment’s and Phase II Deployment’s performance
+Added: obligations have been substantially met at that time.
+Added: Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors
+Added: require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed;
+Added: however, Phase
+Added: II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors,
+Added: Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled
+Added: the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”,
+Added: as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter.
+Added: if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.”
+Added: The Company evaluated the constraining estimates related to the variable consideration, i.e., the one-time bonus and determined that it
+Added: is not probable to conclude at this point in time that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur
+Added: when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
+Added: Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment
+Added: licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement,
+Added: after which time, they have the option to:
+Added: (1) return the Systems to us;
+Added: (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms;
+Added: or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value.
+Added: As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems
+Added: to such exhibitors.
+Added: Cinedigm recognizes revenue once the customer takes possession of the systems and is predicated on Cinedigm’s
+Added: receipt of sale proceeds.
+Added: Such sales were as originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.
+Added: completed the sale of 650 and 30 digital projection Systems, respectively, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $5.6 million
+Added: and $195.0 thousand, and recognized revenue of $5.6 million and $76.2 thousand, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
+Added: respectively.
+Added: Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor
+Added: contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.
+Added: Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using
+Added: their own financing in the Cinema Equipment Business paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0 thousand per screen (the
+Added: “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”).
+Added: Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered
+Added: and ready for content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured.
+Added: we recognize activation fee revenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase II Deployment Systems and for Systems installed
+Added: by CDF2 Holdings, a related party, (See Note 4 - Other Interests ) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront
+Added: upon installation.
+Added: Our services division manages and collects VPFs on behalf of exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal
+Added: to 10% of the VPFs collected.
+Added: The Cinema Equipment Business earns an administrative
+Added: 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
+Added: This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPF’s and the performance obligation is satisfied
+Added: 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
+Added: movie theatres.
+Added: The service fees are recognized as a point in time revenue when the corresponding VPF fees are due from the movie studios
+Added: and distributors.
Content & Entertainment Business
−Removed: Revenues generated by our Cinema Equipment Business segment
−Removed: decreased primarily as a result of the reduced number of Systems earning VPF revenue and commissions for Phase II Deployment Systems.
−Removed: In addition, as a result of COVID-19, during the three months ended December 31, 2020, theatres in many major markets remained
−Removed: closed throughout the third quarter causing the majority of major studios to move wide releases scheduled for the three months
−Removed: ended December 31, 2020 to future dates.
−Removed: Only two major studios had wide theatrical releases in November/December, however,
−Removed: the theatrical window before the streaming debut was shortened or eliminated to accommodate the lack of theatrical venues.
−Removed: our digital cinema business earns a VPF when a movie is first played on a system, the temporary theatre closures resulting from
−Removed: the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in reduced revenues.
−Removed: The revenues in the Content & Entertainment Business segment increased
−Removed: by 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: The increase is due to
−Removed: the addition of five new third-party OTT channels and an increase in the number of advertising partners.
+Added: CEG earns fees for the distribution of content
+Added: in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or “OTT
+Added: Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Physical Revenue” or “Base Distribution
+Added: Fees earned are typically a percentage based on the net amounts received from our customers.
+Added: Depending upon the nature
+Added: of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies.
+Added: The Company’s performance obligations
+Added: include the delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/FAST on the digital platforms, and shipment of DVDs and
+Added: Blu-ray Discs.
+Added: Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied which is when the content is available
+Added: for subscription on the digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services
+Added: as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer.
+Added: The Company considers the delivery of content through
+Added: various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation.
+Added: Physical Revenue is recognized after deducting the reserves for sales
+Added: returns and other allowances, which are accounted for as variable consideration.
+Added: Physical goods reserves for sales returns and
+Added: other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience.
+Added: If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments
+Added: to our allowances may be required.
+Added: CEG also has contracts for the theatrical distribution
+Added: of third party feature movies and alternative content.
+Added: CEG’s distribution fee revenue and CEG’s participation in box office
+Added: receipts is recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed.
+Added: CEG has the right to receive or bill a portion
+Added: of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time
+Added: of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature movies’ or alternative content’s
+Added: theatrical release date.
+Added: Principal Agent Considerations
+Added: We determine whether revenue should be reported
+Added: on a gross or net basis for each revenue stream based on the transfer of control of goods and services.
+Added: Key indicators that we use in
+Added: evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:
+Added: which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service;
+Added: which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.
+Added: Shipping and Handling
+Added: Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move
+Added: physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers.
+Added: We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in cost of goods
+Added: sold because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.
+Added: Contract Liabilities
+Added: We generally record a receivable related to revenue
+Added: when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments
+Added: are received or due in advance of our performance, even if amounts are refundable.
+Added: We maintain reserves for potential credit losses
+Added: on accounts receivable.
+Added: We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer
+Added: credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
+Added: are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
+Added: Our CEG segment recognizes accounts receivable,
+Added: net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale.
+Added: for product returns and other allowances is variable consideration as part of the transaction price.
+Added: If actual future returns and allowances
+Added: differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.
+Added: We record accounts receivable, long-term in connection
+Added: with activation fees that we earn from Systems deployments that have extended payment terms.
+Added: Such accounts receivable are discounted to
+Added: their present value at prevailing market rates.
+Added: The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant and hence the impact
+Added: of significant financing would be insignificant.
+Added: Deferred revenue pertaining to our Content &
+Added: Entertainment Business includes amounts related to the sale of DVDs with future release dates.
+Added: Deferred revenue relating to our Cinema Equipment
+Added: Business pertains to revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions that are deferred and recognized over the expected
+Added: cost recoupment period.
+Added: It also includes unamortized balances in connection with activation fees due from the Systems deployments that
+Added: have extended payment terms.
+Added: The ending deferred revenue balance, including
+Added: current and non-current balances, as of June 30, 2021 was $0.4 million.
+Added: For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
+Added: the additions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance
+Added: obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of
+Added: our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.
+Added: During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and
+Added: 2020, $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of revenue was recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the
+Added: beginning of the period.
+Added: As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of contract revenue allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations
+Added: was $0.4 million.
+Added: We expect to recognize this balance in full by September 30, 2021.
+Added: Participations and royalties payable
+Added: When we use third parties to distribute company
+Added: owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements.
+Added: we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties
+Added: owed under licensing arrangements.
+Added: We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us
+Added: by such studios or content producers.
+Added: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

−Removed: EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of

−Removed: EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses
−Removed: or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
−Removed: believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net
