+Added: As vaccines became readily available and COVID cases decreased, major studios resumed theatrical

−Removed: Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
−Removed: In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates
−Removed: about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures.
−Removed: We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes
−Removed: to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared.
−Removed: On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting
−Removed: policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
−Removed: However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions
−Removed: and estimates, and such differences could be material.
−Removed: significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated
−Removed: Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data , of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial
−Removed: results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates
−Removed: about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
−Removed: Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures
−Removed: with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.
−Removed: AND EQUIPMENT
−Removed: and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
−Removed: Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line
−Removed: method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
−Removed: Computer equipment and software
−Removed: Internal use software
−Removed: Digital cinema projection systems
−Removed: Machinery and equipment
−Removed: Furniture and fixtures
−Removed: improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
−Removed: Maintenance and
−Removed: repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.
−Removed: lives are determined based on an estimate of either physical or economic obsolescence, or both.
−Removed: During the fiscal years ended March 31,
−Removed: 2021 and 2020, we have neither made any revisions to estimated useful lives, nor recorded any impairment charges on our property, equipment
−Removed: and internal use software.
−Removed: VALUE ESTIMATES
−Removed: Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: evaluate our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year (as of March 31), or whenever events or changes in circumstances
−Removed: indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount.
−Removed: The determination of whether or not goodwill has become impaired
−Removed: involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting units.
−Removed: Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including
−Removed: management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with
−Removed: regard to our operations.
−Removed: To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or our strategies change, it is possible
−Removed: that the conclusion regarding whether goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that could have
−Removed: a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
−Removed: Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely
−Removed: than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test.
−Removed: quantitative test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective book value, including goodwill.
−Removed: If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired.
−Removed: If, however, the fair value of the reporting
−Removed: unit is less than book value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
−Removed: Company tests for goodwill impairment annually at March 31.
−Removed: During the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no impairment
−Removed: charges recorded on goodwill.
−Removed: In 2021, we elected to conduct a qualitative goodwill assessment and in 2020 we conducted a quantitative
−Removed: goodwill assessment.
−Removed: In determining fair value, we used various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections
−Removed: or forecasts derived from analysis of business prospects, economic or market trends and any regulatory changes that may occur.
−Removed: the fair value of the reporting unit using a net present value methodology, which is dependent on significant assumptions related to
−Removed: estimated future discounted cash flows, discount rates and tax rates.
−Removed: Certain of the estimates and assumptions that we used in determining
−Removed: the value of our CEG reporting unit are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Item 8 - Financial
−Removed: Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate
−Removed: a possible impairment exists.
−Removed: Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including
−Removed: determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur,
−Removed: their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any.
−Removed: The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover
−Removed: the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows.
−Removed: If the total of expected
−Removed: future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and
−Removed: possibly impaired.
−Removed: We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.
−Removed: An impairment
−Removed: loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value.
−Removed: Fair value is determined by
−Removed: computing the expected future discounted cash flows.
−Removed: determine revenue recognition by:
−Removed: ● identifying
−Removed: the contract, or contracts, with the customer;
−Removed: ● identifying
−Removed: the performance obligations in the contract;
−Removed: ● determining
−Removed: the transaction price;
−Removed: the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract;
−Removed: ● recognizing
−Removed: revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.
−Removed: recognize revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the services provided, sales of
−Removed: physical products (DVDs and Blu-ray) or when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform or available on
−Removed: the point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services which is when the control of the promised products and services is transferred to
−Removed: our customers and our performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied.
−Removed: Revenues that might be subject to various taxes
−Removed: is recorded net of transaction taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales value-added taxes and other similar taxes.
−Removed: terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30 to 90 day terms.
−Removed: We do not adjust the promised amount of
−Removed: consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between
−Removed: our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.
−Removed: have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation fees due from our digital cinema equipment (the
−Removed: “Systems”) deployments that had extended payment terms.
−Removed: The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant
−Removed: and hence the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.
−Removed: Equipment Business
−Removed: Financing vehicles and administrators for 3,122
−Removed: Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to theatrical exhibitors and for 3,104 Systems
−Removed: installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).
−Removed: We retain ownership of our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in
−Removed: Phase I Deployment after the after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.
−Removed: For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do
−Removed: not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupment
−Removed: and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.
−Removed: The Cinema Equipment Business also provides monitoring, collection, verification and management services to this segment, as well as to
−Removed: exhibitors who purchase their own equipment, and also collects and disburses Virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture
−Removed: studios, and distributors and ACFs from alternative content providers, movie exhibitors and theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).
−Removed: VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees,
−Removed: pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase I Deployment and to Phase
−Removed: II Deployment when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres.
−Removed: are earned and payable to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term.
−Removed: One VPF is payable for every
−Removed: digital title initially displayed per System.
−Removed: The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed
−Removed: using the Systems in any given accounting period.
−Removed: VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the digital title first plays on a
−Removed: System for general audience viewing in a digitally equipped movie theatre, as Phase I Deployment’s and Phase II Deployment’s
−Removed: performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.
−Removed: Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors
−Removed: require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed;
−Removed: however, Phase
−Removed: II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors,
−Removed: Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled
−Removed: the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”,
−Removed: as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter.

+Added: and capital needs, for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.
+Added: Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and
+Added: we may need to use capital resources and obtain additional capital.
+Added: Failure to generate additional revenues, obtain additional capital
+Added: or manage 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 in Note 2
+Added: – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial
+Added: Statements and Supplementary Data , of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Management believes that the following accounting
+Added: policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require
+Added: management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of
+Added: matters that are inherently uncertain.
+Added: Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the
+Added: Audit Committee of our board of directors.
+Added: FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES
+Added: Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
+Added: Goodwill is the excess of the
+Added: purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business.
+Added: Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis
+Added: or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known
+Added: as impairment indicators.
+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 its operations.
+Added: extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding
+Added: whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect
+Added: on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
+Added: has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than
+Added: not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test.
+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, if any.
+Added: The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets
+Added: from expected future undiscounted net cash flows.
+Added: If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying
+Added: value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired.
+Added: We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine
+Added: whether an impairment loss should be recognized.
+Added: An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less
+Added: than its carrying value.
+Added: Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.
+Added: During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, an impairment charge
+Added: of $2.0 million and $0 was recorded to intangible assets.
+Added: REVENUE RECOGNITION
+Added: Adoption of ASU Topic 606, “Revenue
+Added: from Contracts with Customers”
+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 the consideration
+Added: we expect to receive in exchange for the services provided, sales of physical products (DVD’s and Blu-ray Discs) or when the content
+Added: is available for subscription on the digital platform or available on the point-of-sale for transactional and video on demand services
+Added: which is when the control of the promised products and services is transferred to our customers and our performance obligations under
+Added: the contract have been satisfied.
+Added: Revenues that might be subject to various taxes are recorded net of transaction taxes assessed by governmental
+Added: authorities such as sales value-added taxes and other similar taxes.
+Added: Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide
+Added: net 30 to 90 day terms.
+Added: We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when
+Added: we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for
+Added: that product or service will be one year or less.
+Added: We have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation fees due
+Added: from our System deployments that had extended payment terms.
+Added: The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant and hence
+Added: the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.
+Added: Cinema Equipment Business
+Added: Our Cinema Equipment Business consists of financing vehicles and administrators for 696 Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment
+Added: phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to theatrical exhibitors and for 2,147 Systems installed domestically and internationally in
+Added: our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).
+Added: We retain ownership of our Systems
+Added: and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.
+Added: For certain Phase II Deployment
+Added: Systems, we do not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion
+Added: of cost recoupment and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.
+Added: The Cinema Equipment Business
+Added: also provides monitoring, data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors
+Added: who purchase their own equipment, in order to collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture studios and distributors
+Added: and Alternative Content Fees (“ACFs”) from alternative content providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors
+Added: (collectively, “Services”).
+Added: VPFs are earned, net of administrative
+Added: fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase I Deployment and to
+Added: Phase II Deployment when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres.
+Added: VPFs are earned and payable to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term.
+Added: One VPF is payable for
+Added: every digital title initially displayed per System.
+Added: The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and
+Added: displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period.
+Added: VPF revenue is recognized in the period the title first plays for general
+Added: audience viewing in a digital projector equipped movie theatre.
+Added: The Phase 1 Deployment’s and Phase 2 Deployments performance obligations
+Added: for revenue recognition are met at this time.
+Added: Phase II Deployment’s agreements
+Added: with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed;
+Added: however, Phase II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios
+Added: and distributors, is achieved.
+Added: Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment
+Added: have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and
+Added: ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period
+Added: and thereafter.
+Added: Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost
+Added: recoupment bonus.” The Company evaluated the constraining estimates related to the variable consideration, i.e., the one-time bonus
+Added: and determined that it is not probable to conclude at this point in time that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue
+Added: recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
+Added: Under the terms of our standard
+Added: cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the
+Added: licensing agreement, after which time, they have the option to:
(1) return the Systems to us;
−Removed: (2) renew their
