2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, USE OF ESTIMATES AND CONSOLIDATION

The Company has incurred net losses historically and through the current period, and until recently, has used cash in operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit of $128,714$146,474 as of December 31, 2008.September 30, 2009. The Company also has significant contractual obligations related to its recourse and non-recourse debt for the remaining part of fiscal year 20092010 and beyond. Management expects that the Company will continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future.  Certain of the Company’s costs could be reduced if the Company’s working capital requirements increased. Based on the Company’s cash position at December 31, 2008,September 30, 2009, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through December 31, 2009.September 30, 2010. In August 2009, the Company entered into a private placement of a senior secured note and extinguished its existing senior notes, which provided net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, funding of an interest reserve and transactions fees and expenses of approximately $11,300 of working capital funding.  The Company is seeking to raisehas signed commitment letters for additional non-recourse debt capital, to refinance certain outstanding debt,primarily to meet equipment requirements related to the Company’s second digital cinema deployment (the “PhasePhase II Deployment”) and for working capital as necessary.Deployment (see Note 11).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Media ServicesPhase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment

Media Services revenues are generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:Accounted for in accordance with:
Virtual print fees (“VPFs”) and alternative content fees (“ACFs”).Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 104”).
Software multi-element licensing arrangements, software maintenance contracts, and professional consulting services, which includes systems implementation, training, and other professional services, delivery revenues via satellite and hard drive, data encryption and preparation fee revenues, satellite network monitoring and maintenance fees.Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”
Custom software development services.SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”)
Customer licenses and application service provider (“ASP Service”) agreements.SAB No. 104

VPFs are earned pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable to AccessITPhase 1 DC and will be payable to Phase 2 DC, according to a fixed fee schedule, when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing the Company’s digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres.  VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year (calendar 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year.  One VPF is payable for every movie title displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is therefore dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed on the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the movie first opens for general audience viewing in that digitally-equipped movie theatre, as AccessITPhase 1 DC’s and Phase 2 DC’s performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

ACFsPhase 2 DC’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for 10 years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the agreements, is achieved.  Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC 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 the Company’s service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter, plus a compounded return on any billed but unpaid overhead and ongoing costs, of 15% per year.  Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to Cinedigm.  Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of cost recoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment.

6


Alternative content fees (“ACFs”) are earned pursuant to contracts with movie exhibitors, whereby amounts are payable to AccessITPhase 1 DC and will be payable to Phase 2 DC, generally as a percentage of the applicable box office revenue derived from the exhibitor’s showing of content other than feature films, such as concerts and sporting events (typically referred to as “alternative content”).  ACF revenue is recognized in the period in which the alternative content opens for audience viewing.

Services

For software multi-element licensing arrangements that do not require significant production, modification or customization of the licensed software, revenue is recognized for the various elements as follows: Revenuerevenue for the licensed software element is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the licensed software product, as that represents the culmination of the earnings process and the Company has no further obligations to the customer, relative to the software license. Revenue earned from consulting services is recognized upon the performance and completion of these services. Revenue earned from annual software maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance term (typically one year).

Revenues relating to customized software development contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with SOP 81-1.

Revenue is deferred in cases where:  (1) a portion or the entire contract amount cannot be recognized as revenue, due to non-delivery or pre-acceptance of licensed software or custom programming, (2) uncompleted implementation of application service provider arrangements (“ASP Service arrangements,Service”), or (3) unexpired pro-rata periods of maintenance, minimum ASP Service fees or website subscription fees. As license fees, maintenance fees, minimum ASP Service fees and website subscription fees are often paid in advance, a portion of this revenue is deferred until the contract ends. Such amounts are classified as deferred revenue and are recognized as earned revenue in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies described above.

Managed Services’ revenues, which consistRevenues from the delivery of monthly recurring billings pursuant to network monitoringdata via satellite and maintenance contracts,hard drive are recognized upon delivery, as revenues in the month earned, and other non-recurring billings are recognized on a time and materials basis as revenues in the period in which the services were provided.DMS’ performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Content & Entertainment

Content & Entertainment revenues are generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:Accounted for in accordance with:
Movie theatre admission and concession revenues.SAB No. 104
Cinema advertising service revenues and distribution fee revenues.SOP 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”)
Cinema advertising barter revenuesThe Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-17, “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions” (“EITF 99-17”)

Movie theatre admission and concession revenues are generated at the Company’s nine-screen digital movie theatre, the Pavilion Theatre. Movie theatre admission revenues are recognized on the date of sale, as the related movie is viewed on that date and the Company’s performance obligation is met at that time. Concession revenues consist of food and beverage sales and are also recognized on the date of purchase.

USM has contracts with exhibitors to display pre-show advertisements on their screens, in exchange for certain fees paid to the exhibitors. USM then contracts with businesses of various types to place their advertisements in select theatre locations, designs the advertisement, and places it on-screen for specific periods of time, generally ranging from three to twelve months.  Cinema advertising service revenue, and the associated direct selling, production and support cost, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the related in-theatre advertising is displayed, pursuant to the specific terms of each advertising contract. USM has the right to receive or bill the entire amount of the advertising contract upon execution, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related advertising revenue and all direct costs actually incurred are deferred until such time as the aan in-theatre advertising is displayed.

The right to sell and display such advertising, or other in-theatre programs, products and services, is based upon advertising contracts with exhibitors which stipulate payment terms to such exhibitors for this right. Payment terms generally consist of either fixed annual payments or annual minimum guarantee payments, plus a revenue share of the excess of a percentage of advertising revenue over the minimum guarantee, if any.  The Company recognizes the cost of fixed and minimum guarantee payments on a straight-line basis over each advertising contract year, and the revenue share cost, if any, in accordance with the terms of the advertising contract.

Distribution fee revenue is recognized for the theatrical distribution of third party feature films and alternative content at the time of exhibition based on the Bigger Picture’s participation in box office receipts.  The Bigger

Picture 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 films’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.

Barter advertising revenue is recognized for the fair value of the advertising time surrendered in exchange for alternative content.  The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both Content & Entertainment’s net revenues and direct operating expenses.  There may be a timing difference between the screening of alternative content and the screening of the underlying advertising used to acquire the content.  In accordance with EITF 99-17, theThe acquisition cost is being recorded and recognized as a direct operating expense by The Bigger PictureCEG when the alternative content is screened, and the underlying advertising is being deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the period such advertising is screened by USM.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, theThe Company has not recorded $0 and $1,152, respectively, inany net revenues andor direct operating expenses with no impactrelated to barter advertising during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

CEG has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature films and alternative content.   CEG’s distribution fee revenue is recognized at the time a feature film and alternative content is viewed, based on net loss.CEG’s participation in box office receipts.  CEG 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

Since May 1, 2007, the Company’s three internet data centers (“IDCs”) have been operated by FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”), unrelated third parties, pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although the Company is still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses were being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company and since May 1, 2008, 100% of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia. In June 2009, one of the IDC leases expired, leaving two IDC leases with the Company as lessee.

RESTRICTED INVESTMENT SECURITIES

In connection with the $75,000 Senior Secured Note issued in August 2009 (see Note 5), the Company was required to segregate $11,265 of the proceeds into marketable securities which will be used to repay interest over the next two years.  The Company classifies the marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value.  The maturity dates of these investments coincide with the quarterly interest payment dates through September 2011.  The changes in the value of these securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings when securities mature or are redeemed.  There were realized losses of $2 recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The Company held no available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2009.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made the first scheduled quarterly interest payment in the amount of $715.  Investment securities with a maturity of twelve months or less are classified as short-term; those that mature in greater than twelve months are classified as long-term.  The carrying value and fair value of investment securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2009 were as follows:

DEFERRED COSTS

Deferred costs primarily consist of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and, the $55,000 of 10% Senior Notes issued in August 2007 up to August 2009 (see Note 5) and the $75,000 Senior Secured Note issued in August 2009 (see Note 5), which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective debt.debt (see Note 5 for extinguishment of debt).  The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.  Also included in deferred costs is advertising production, post production and technical support costs related to developing and displaying advertising in the amount of $778, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the same period as the related cinema advertising revenues of $4,704 are recognized.

DIRECT OPERATING COSTS

Direct operating costs consistsconsist of facility operating costs such as rent, utilities, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance and other related expenses, direct personnel costs, film rent expense, amortization of capitalized software development costs, exhibitors payments for displaying cinema advertising and other deferred expenses, such as advertising production, post production and technical support related to developing and displaying advertising. These other deferred expenses are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the same period as the related cinema advertising revenues are recognized.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 6. Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions) and recognize such cost in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

For the three months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008,2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $162$200 and $295,$441, respectively, and $361$358 and $653,$766, for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008,2009, respectively.  The Company estimatedestimates that the stock-based compensation expense related to current

outstanding stock options, using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and current outstanding restricted stock awards will be approximately $950$1,432 in fiscal 2009.2010.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008September 30, 2009 was $2.56$0.55 and $0,$0.57, respectively, and during$0.58 and $0.57, for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008 was $2.90 and $0.58, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 was approximately $25 and $0,2009, respectively. There were no stock options exercised during the three months and ninesix months ended December 31, 2008.September 30, 2008 and 2009.

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Internal Use Software

The Company accounts for theseinternal use software development costs under Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”).  SOP 98-1 states that there arebased on three distinct stages to the software development process for internal use software.  The first stage, the preliminary project stage, includes the conceptual

9


formulation, design and testing of alternatives.  The second stage, or the program instruction phase, includes the development of the detailed functional specifications, coding and testing.  The final stage, the implementation stage, includes the activities associated with placing a software project into service.  All activities included within the preliminary project stage would beare considered research and development and expensed as incurred.  During the program instruction phase, all costs incurred until the software is substantially complete and ready for use, including all necessary testing, are capitalized, andCapitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to five years.  The Company has not sold, leased or licensedyears, beginning when the software developedis ready for internal use to the Company’s customers and the Company has no intention of doing so in the future.its intended use.

Software to be Sold, Licensed or Otherwise Marketed

The Company accounts for these software development costs under SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS No. 86”).  SFAS No. 86 states that software development costs that are incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized until the product is available for general release. Amounts capitalized as software development costs are amortized using the greater of revenues during the period compared to the total estimated revenues to be earned or on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to five years. The Company reviews capitalized software costs for impairment on a periodic basis. To the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated net realizable value of the capitalized software cost, an impairment charge is recorded. No impairment charge was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.basis with other long-lived assets.  Amortization of capitalized software development costs, included in direct operating costs, for the three months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 20082009 amounted to $153$194 and

9


$214, $161, respectively and $448$387 and $601$323 for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008,2009, respectively.  At December 31, 2007 and 2008,September 30, 2009, there were no unbilled receivables under such customized software development contracts was $1,528 and $885, respectively, which is included in unbilled revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company reached an agreement with a customer regarding a customized product contract whereby the Company will cease development efforts on the customized product and the customer will complete the development of the product going forward at their sole expense and deliver the completed product back to the Company.  The Company will continue to own the product at all times and retains the rights to market the finished product to others.  The customer agreed to make certain payments to the Company as settlement of all billed and unbilled amounts.  After all such payments have been received, the Company will have approximately $400 of unbilled amounts remaining.  The Company believes this amount will be recoverable from future sales of the product to other customers.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) which requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and that certain intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized as assets separate from goodwill.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not enter into any business combinations.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The carryingGoodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of goodwill and other intangiblethe net assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for possible impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”).   SFAS No. 142 addressesof the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.acquired business. The Company testsassesses its goodwill for impairment at least annually and in interim periods if certain triggering events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company also reviews possible impairment of finite lived intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting forannually. During the Impairment or Disposalsix months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, no impairment charge was recorded.

As of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company records goodwill andSeptember 30, 2009, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets resultingconsisted of customer relationships and agreements, theatre relationships, covenants not to compete, trade names and trademarks and Federal Communications Commission licenses (for satellite transmission services), which are estimated to have useful lives ranging from past business combinations.

The Company’s process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of fair value of its four goodwill reporting units: AccessIT SW, The Pavilion Theatre, USM and The Bigger Picture.  Identification of reporting units is based on the criteria contained in SFAS No. 142.  The Company normally conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, measured as of March 31, unless triggering events occur which require goodwilltwo to be tested as of an interim date.  As discussed further below, the Company concluded that one or more triggering events had occurredten years.  No intangible assets were acquired during the three and six months ended December 31,September 30, 2009.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and conducted impairment tests as of December 31, 2008.

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 the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether the Company’s remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from the reporting unit. The discount rate applied to the projected future cash flows to arrive at the present value is intended to reflect all risks of ownership and the associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows.  The discounted cash flow methodology uses our projections of financial performance for a five-year period.  The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate, the terminal value and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary among reporting units. The discount rates utilized as of the December 31, 2008 testing date range from 16.0% - 27.5% based on the estimated market participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for each unit.  The market participant based WACC for each unit gives consideration to factors including, but not limited to, capital structure, historic and projected financial performance, and size.

The market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk profile relative to the comparable companies as a group.  The most significant assumptions are the market

10


multiplies and the control premium. The Company has elected not to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of impairment testing.

The Company then assigns a weighting to the discounted cash flows and market multiple methodologies to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The income approach is weighted 60% to 70% and the market approach is weighted 40% to 30% to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The weightings are evaluated each time a goodwill impairment assessment is performed and give consideration to the relative reliability of each approach at that time.

Based on the results of our impairment evaluation, the Company recorded an2009, no impairment charge of $6,525 in the quarter ended December 31, 2008 related to our content and entertainment reporting segment.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Balance at March 31, 2008 $14,549 
    Goodwill impairment  (6,525)
Balance at December 31, 2008 $8,024 
was recorded.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.  Upon the sale or other disposition of any property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis in order to identify businesswhen events or conditions which mayexist that indicate a possible impairment.impairment exists. The assessment for potential impairmentrecoverability is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets athe asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired.  The Company then estimates the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss isshould be recognized.  An impairment loss will be recognized if for the difference between the fair value (computed based upon the expected future discounted cash flows)upon) and the carrying value of the assets.asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is estimated by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.  During the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and 2008,2009, no impairment charge for long-lived assets was recorded.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Computations of basic and diluted net loss per share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) have been made in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic and diluted net loss per share havehas been calculated as follows:

Basic and diluted net loss per share =Net loss 
 
Weighted average number of Common Stock

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVESDERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES

In April 2008, the Company executed an interest rate swap agreement (the “Interest Rate Swap”) (see Note 5) to limit the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates.  The Interest Rate Swap is a derivative financial instrument, which the Company accounts for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted ("SFAS No. 133").  SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.  Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in other comprehensive income (a component of stockholders' equity) or in the condensed consolidated statement of operations depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in cash flows or fair value.  The Company has determined that this is not a hedging transaction and changes in the value of its Interest Rate Swap were recorded in the condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations (see Note 5).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), for financial assets and liabilities. The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about 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, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
·  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The following table summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

 
Financial Assets at Fair Value
as of December 31, 2008
  
Financial Assets at Fair Value
as of September 30, 2009
 
 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Cash and cash equivalents $22,565  $  $  $19,732  $  $ 
Investment securities, available-for-sale $885  $9,683  $ 
Interest rate swap    $(3,846)    $  $(3,306) $ 

3.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006,Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards BoardBoard’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair valueby the SEC.  Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.  However, references to specific accounting standards in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 appliesthe footnotes to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at fair value under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) at initial recognition and in all subsequent periods. Therefore, SFAS 157 nullifies the guidance in footnote 3 of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (“EITF 02-3”). SFAS 157 also amends SFAS 133 to remove the similar guidance to that in EITF 02-3, which was added by SFAS 155. SFAS 157 is effective forour condensed consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Relativehave been changed to SFAS 157,refer to the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (SFAS 13), and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective dateappropriate section of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.ASC.

The Company adopted SFAS 157 asAt its September 23, 2009 board meeting, the FASB ratified final EITF consensus on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables (“Issue 08-1”).  This Issue supersedes Issue 00-21 (codified in ASC 605-25).  Issue 08-1 addresses the unit of April 1, 2008, withaccounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables.  It also addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the exceptionseparate units of accounting, when applicable. However, guidance on determining when the criteria for revenue recognition are met and on how an entity should recognize revenue for a given unit of accounting are located in other sections of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, indefinite lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment testing, and those non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination.  The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 2).

In October 2008, the FASBCodification.  Issue 08-1 will ultimately be issued FSP FAS 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a marketas an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate following the guidance in FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” FSP FAS 157-3 was effective for the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2008, and application of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and early adoption is permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on April 1, 2008 and elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations (revised 2007)” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which changes many well-established business combination accounting practices and significantly affects how acquisition transactions are reflected in the financial statements. Additionally, SFAS 141(R) will affect how companies negotiate and structure transactions, model financial projections of acquisitions and communicate to stakeholders. SFAS 141(R) must be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to any future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160amend ASC 605-25.  Final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after DecemberJune 15, 2008.  2010.  Entities can elect to apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the Issue’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented.  The Company does not believe that SFAS 160revisions to ASC 605-25 will have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008,At its September 23, 2009 board meeting, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instrumentsalso ratified final EITF consensus on software revenue recognition (“Issue 09-3”).  This Issue amends ASC 985-605 (formerly SOP 97-2) and Hedging Activities—an amendmentASC 985-605-15-3 (formerly Issue 03-5) to exclude from their scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. That is, the entire product (including the software deliverables and non-software deliverables) would be outside the scope of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instrumentsASC 985-605 and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items arewould be accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affectother accounting literature. The revised scope of ASC 985-605 (Issue 09-3) will ultimately be issued as an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that will amend the ASC.  The final consensus is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interimbeginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the Issue’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlypresented. Early application encouraged.  SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.is permitted.  The Company does not believe that SFAS 161ASC 985-605 (Issue 09-3) will have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,”Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”).  FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all recognized intangible assets and its guidance is restricted to estimating the useful life of recognized intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company will be required to adopt FSP FAS 142-3 to intangible assets acquired beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

In May 2008,June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 162”167”) (which will be codified in ASC 810-10). Revisions to ASC 810-10 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 162 identifies166 and (2) constituent concerns about the sourcesapplication of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting principles and disclosures under the framework for selecting the principlesInterpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. Revisions to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162ASC 810-10 is effective 60 days followingas of the SEC’s approvalbeginning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not believe that SFAS 162is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and application of revisions to ASC 810-10 will have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

decision makers review and allocate resources to operating segments, which resulted in revised reportable segments, but did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  We have threerealigned our focus to five primary businesses, mediabusinesses: first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), services (“Media Services”), media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”) and other (“Other”).  Our MediaThe Company’s Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide.  The Company’s Services businesssegment provides technology solutions, software services, electronic content delivery services via satellite and technology solutionshard drive to the motion picture and television industries,industry, primarily to facilitate the conversion from analog (film) to digital cinema and has positioned usthe Company at what we believeit believes to be the forefront of anrapidly developing industry relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to entertainmenttheatres and other remote venues worldwide.  OurThe Company’s Content & Entertainment businesssegment provides content distribution services to theatrical exhibitors and in-theatre advertising.  The Company’s Other segment provides motion picture exhibition to the general public, information technology consulting and cinema advertisingmanaged network monitoring services and film distribution services to movie exhibitors.  Our Other business provides hosting services and network access for other web hosting services (“Access Digital Server Assets”).  Overall, ourthe Company’s goal is to aid in the transformation of movie theatres to entertainment centers by providing a platform of hardware, software and content choices.  Additional information related to the Company’s reporting segments can be found in Note 9 to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following organizational chart provides a graphic representation of our business and our threefive reporting segments:

Org Chart

 
We have incurred net losses historicallyof $6.3 million and through$1.1 million in the current period,three months ended September 30, 2008 and until recently, have used cash2009, respectively, and $10.6 million and $8.2 million in operating activities,the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009,

30


respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $128.7$146.5 million as of December 31, 2008.September 30, 2009. We also have significant contractual obligations related to our recourse and non-recourse debt for the remainder of fiscal year 20092010 and beyond. We expect to continue generating net losses for the foreseeable future.  Certain of our costs could be reduced if our working capital requirements increased. Based on our cash position at December 31, 2008,September 30, 2009, and expected cash flows from operations, we believe that we have the ability to meet our obligations through December 31, 2009.September 30, 2010. We are seeking to raise additional capital to refinance certain outstanding debt, to meet equipment requirements related to the Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 DC”)DC second digital cinema deployment (the “Phase II Deployment”) and for working capital as necessary. Although we recently entered into certain agreements related to the Phase II Deployment, there is no assurance that financing of additional Systems for the Phase II Deployment will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to us or our existing shareholders.stockholders. We expect any Phase II debt will be non-recourse to the parent company, as is the case with our existing debt at Phase 1 DC.  Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.

The carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for possible impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”).   SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  We test our goodwill for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. We review possible impairment of finite lived intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company records goodwill and intangible assets resulting from past business combinations.

Our process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of fair value of four goodwill reporting units: AccessIT SW, The Pavilion Theatre, USM and The Bigger Picture.  Identification of reporting units is based on the criteria contained in SFAS No. 142.  We normally conduct an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, measured as of March 31, unless triggering events occur which require goodwill to be tested as of an interim date.  As discussed further below, we concluded that one or more triggering events had occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and conducted impairment tests as of December 31, 2008.

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

30


assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to our 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 discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from the reporting unit. The discount rate applied to the projected future cash flows to arrive at the present value is intended to reflect all risks of ownership and the associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows.  The discounted cash flow methodology uses our projections of financial performance for a five-year period.  The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate, the terminal value and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary among reporting units. The discount rates utilized as of the December 31, 2008 testing date range from 16.0% - 27.5% based on the estimated market participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for each unit.  The market participant based WACC for each unit gives consideration to factors including, but not limited to, capital structure, historic and projected financial performance, and size.

The market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk profile relative to the comparable companies as a group.  The most significant assumptions are the market multiplies and the control premium. We have elected not to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of impairment testing.

We assign a weighting to the discounted cash flows and market multiple methodologies to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The income approach is weighted 40% to 30% and the market approach is weighted 40% to 30% to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The weightings are evaluated each time a goodwill impairment assessment is performed and give consideration to the relative reliability of each approach at that time.

Based on the results of our impairment evaluation, we recorded an impairment charge of $6.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2008 related to our content and entertainment reporting segment.

Revenues increased $1.2decreased $2.0 million or 6%9%.  The decrease in revenues in the Phase I Deployment segment was due to a 10% decrease in Phase 1 DC’s VPF revenues, attributable to a contractual 16% reduction in VPF rates starting in November 2008, offset by an increase in quarterly screen turnover.  The increase in revenues in the Phase II Deployment segment was due to Phase 2 DC VPF revenues which were not generated during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as no Phase 2 DC’s Systems were installed and ready for content until December 2008.  The decrease in revenues in the Services segment was primarily due to an 11% increase(i) a 26% decrease in VPFDMS revenues, in the Media Service segment, attributable to the increased number of Systems installed in movie theatres, upon the completion of our Phase I Deployment of 3,723 screens, along with a 45% increase inflat revenues from delivery of movies to digitally equipped theatres, also due to the increasedigital feature and trailer deliveries as DMS maintained its movie studio customers but experienced limited growth in the number of such theatres over the last year.  These gainsdigital delivery sites and a 52% decrease in the Media Services segment were offset bynon-theatrical satellite services revenues due to general economic factors; and (ii) a 100% decline22% decrease in Theatre Command Center (“TCC”) softwareSoftware revenues due to delayed Phase 2 deployments, limiting expected license fees as there were no TCC fees yet for our Phase II Deployment in addition to a 30% reduction in software related revenues by AccessIT SW.and maintenance fees.

In the Content & Entertainment segment, revenues increased 5% mainlydecreased 10% due to a 24% decline in in-theatre advertising revenues, attributable to the elimination of various under-performing customer contracts, as well as the current weak economic environment, offset by a 4% increase in national advertising revenues generated by the partnership with Screenvision and non-cash barter revenues of $1.2$0.5 million, which represents the fair value of advertising provided to alternative content providers of The Bigger Picture as part of the agreementsCEG.  CEG’s distribution revenues relating to distributedigitally-equipped locations decreased 51% for alternative content alongand content sponsorship revenues as CEG planned a limited number of events and independent films during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The CEG distribution slate is expected to be more significant in the second half of our 2010 fiscal year commencing in October 2009 with a 124% increasethe release of Opa! and the December 11, 2009 release of Dave Matthews Band in distribution3-D.  The primary driver of CEG revenues by The Bigger Picture.  These gains were partially offset by a 20% decline in in-theatre advertising revenues, mostly attributable to the elimination of various under-performing customer contracts and economic conditions impacting the advertising industry.  We expect consolidated revenues to generally remain near current levels until there is an increase in the number of Systems deployed from our Phase II Deployment.  Suchprograms CEG is distributing, together with the nationwide (and anticipated worldwide) conversion of theatres to digital capabilities, a trend the Company expects to continue. In addition to the distribution of independent motion pictures, the Company also expects that with its implementation of the CineLiveSM product into movie theatres, CEG’s revenues will be generated primarilyincrease from VPFsthe distribution of live 2D and to a lesser degree, other3D content such as concerts and sporting events.

Other  270   227   (16)%
  $6,608  $7,068   7%

Direct operating expenses increased $0.5 million or 7%.  The increase in the Content & Entertainment segment was primarily related to non-cash content acquisition expenses of $1.2 million for The Bigger Picture related to the fair value of advertising provided by USM offset by reduced staffing levels, reduced minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising and reduced film rent expense for the Pavilion Theatre. The Media Services segment decreased 5% mainly due to reduced staffing levels and reduced software related cost of sales by AccessIT SW offset by increased property tax expense related to the 3,723 Systems installed. Our Other segment decreased by 16% mainly due to reduced IDC expenses not reimbursable by FiberMedia and reduced staffing levels. Other than these non-cash content acquisition expenses,  we expect direct operating expenses to remain near current levels for the near future.

Corporate  1,866   1,890   1%
  $6,090  $4,691   (23)%

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million or 23%.  The decrease was primarily related to reduced staffing levels in both the Media Services segment and the Content & Entertainment segment. Following the completion of our Phase I Deployment, overall headcount reductions have now stabilized.  As of December 31, 2007 and 2008 we had 309 and 251 employees, respectively, of which 38 and 43, respectively, were part-time employees and 64 and 50, respectively, were salespersons.  Due to reduced headcount levels primarily from the consolidation of sales territories in USM, resulting in a reduced sales and administrative work force within the Content & Entertainment segment, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to remain near current levels or to be reduced further, at least for the next twelve months.

Impairment of goodwill

Based on the Company’s most recent testing at December 31, 2008, the Company concluded that the fair value of its reporting units within the Content & Entertainment segment, was below the carrying amount and recorded an impairment charge of $6.5 million.  This resulted from the continued decline in our market capitalization, the extremely depressed economic conditions generally, the re-evaluation of our forecasts and other assumptions, and the diminished market values of our identified peer companies.

Interest income

Interest income decreased $0.4 million or 80%. The decrease was attributable to lower cash balances from the prior year, and lower bank interest rates on deposited funds.  We anticipate that interest income will continue to be moderately reduced in future periods.

Total interest expense included $6.0 million of interest paid and accrued for each of the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, along with non-cash interest expense of $1.7 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in interest paid and accrued within the Media Services segment relates to the reduced interest rate on the GE Credit Facility in part due to the Interest Rate Swap executed in April 2008, along with less interest related to the reduced outstanding principal balance of the GE Credit Facility.  The increase in interest expense within Corporate relates to the interest on the 2007 Senior Notes offset by the elimination of interest expense on the $22.0 million of One Year Senior Notes, which were repaid with the proceeds from the $55.0 million of 2007 Senior Notes in August 2007.

The decrease in non-cash interest was due to the value of the shares issued as payment of interest on the 2007 Senior Notes during the three months ended December 31, 2007, offset by increased non-cash interest related to the amortization of the value of the Advance Additional Interest Shares and the amortization of the estimated value of the Additional Interest Shares related to the 2007 Senior Notes.  Interest for the three months ended December 31, 2008 on the 2007 Senior Notes was paid in cash.  Non-cash interest could increase depending on management’s future decisions to pay interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock.

As a result of the completion of our Phase I Deployment, and the continued payments of principal related to the GE Credit Facility, and, subject to any Phase II Deployment related borrowings, we expect our interest expense to stabilize or decline.

Change in fair value of interest rate swap

The change in fair value of interest rate swap from $1.6 million to $(3.8) million resulted in a loss of $5.4 million in the Media Services segment for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  This resulted from the recent decline in Libor rates and the projected outlook for the Libor rates remaining below the Company’s 2.8% fixed Libor rate under the interest rate swap agreement.

Revenues increased $6.0 million or 10%.  In the Media Service segment, the increase in revenues was primarily due to a 28% increase in VPF revenues, attributable to the increased number of Systems installed in movie theatres, following the completion of our Phase I Deployment with 3,723 screens.  We experienced a 52% increase in revenues from delivery of movies to digitally equipped theatres, due to the increase in the number of such theatres over the last year as well as increases in satellite revenues and ACF revenues.  We also experienced a 96% decline in software revenues, due to one-time license fees from our TCC software realized during the Phase I Deployment.  We expect these software license fees to resume upon either a Phase II Deployment, or an international deployment of Systems.  In the Content & Entertainment segment, revenues decreased 12% mainly despite a 23% decline in in-theatre advertising revenues, mostly attributable to the elimination of various under-performing customer contracts and economic conditions impacting the advertising industry, offset by non-cash barter revenues of $1.2 million, which represents the fair value of advertising provided to alternative content providers of The Bigger Picture, and a 27% increase in distribution revenues by The Bigger Picture.  We expect consolidated revenues to increase during the remainder of our fiscal year relative to the previous fiscal year due to increased amounts of financing that are generally remain near current levels until there isavailable to fund digital deployments, and the growing number of 3-D movies to be released by the motion picture studios.  In particular, the Company recently signed 457 screens with two exhibitors who are purchasing the equipment directly and have hired the Company to manage the asset base in exchange for an increaseupfront activation fee and on-going share of VPF revenues.  In addition, the Company expects to sign definitive documentation for a $100 million non-recourse, senior credit facility with GE Capital and Soc Gen prior to year end and commence deployments under this facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  As the number of Systems deployedindustry wide digital screens increases generally, the Company expects to earn additional delivery fees in its DMS business unit as well as distribution fees in CEG and software fees from our Phase II Deployment, which will drive VPFs and other revenue sources including content delivery and distribution of alternative content generated from digitally equipped movie theatres.TCC software.    We are dependantdependent on the availability of suitable financing for any large scale Phase II Deployment.  To date such sources of financing are still being pursued.

Revenues decreased $3.9 million or 9%.  The decrease in revenues in the Phase I Deployment segment was primarily due to an 11% decrease in Phase 1 DC’s VPF revenues, attributable to a contractual 16% reduction in VPF rates starting in November 2008, offset by an increase in quarterly screen turnover.   The increase in revenues in the Phase II Deployment segment was due to Phase 2 DC VPF revenues which were not generated during the six months ended September 30, 2008, as no Phase 2 DC’s Systems were installed and ready for content until December 2008. The decrease in revenues in the Services segment was primarily due to (i) a 14% decrease in DMS revenues, attributable to flat revenues from digital feature and trailer deliveries as DMS maintained its movie studio customers but experienced limited growth in the number of digital delivery sites and a 26% decrease in non-theatrical satellite services revenues due to general economic factors; and (ii) a 10% decrease in Software revenues due to delayed Phase 2 deployments, limiting expected license and maintenance fees. We expect Phase 2 DC service fees, DMS revenues and software license fees to increase as additional Systems are deployed under both the recent $100 million non-recourse credit facility committed to by GE Capital and Soc Gen as well as through the exhibitor-buyer model launched in late September 2009 initially with two exhibitors.

In the Content & Entertainment segment, revenues decreased 15% due to a 25% decline in in-theatre advertising revenues, attributable to the elimination of various under-performing customer contracts, as well as the current weak macro-economic environment, offset by 21% increase in national advertising revenues generated by the partnership with Screenvision and non-cash barter revenues of $0.5 million, which represents the fair value of advertising provided to alternative content providers of CEG.  CEG’s distribution revenues relating to digitally-equipped locations decreased 53% for alternative content and content sponsorship revenues as CEG planned a limited number of events and independent films during the ninesix months ended September 30, 2009.  The CEG distribution slate will expand to be more significant in the second half of our 2010 fiscal year commencing in October 2009 with the

release of Opa! and the December 31, 200811, 2009 release of Dave Matthews Band in 3-D  The primary driver of CEG revenues is the number of programs CEG is distributing, together with the nationwide (and anticipated worldwide) conversion of theatres to digital capabilities, a trend the Company expects to continue. In addition to the distribution of independent motion pictures, the Company also expects that with its implementation of the CineLiveSM product into movie theatres, CEG’s revenues will increase from the distribution of live 2D and 3D content such as concerts and sporting events.

We expect consolidated revenues to increase during the remainder of our fiscal year relative to the previous fiscal year due to increased amounts of financing that are generally available to fund digital deployments, and the growing number of 3-D movies to be released by the motion picture studios. In particular, the Company recently signed 457 screens with two exhibitors who are purchasing the equipment directly and have hired the Company to manage the asset base in exchange for an upfront activation fee and on-going share of VPF revenues.  In addition, the Company expects to sign definitive documentation for a $100 million non-recourse, senior credit facility with GE Capital and Soc Gen prior to year end and commence deployments under this facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.   As the number of industry wide digital screens increases generally, the Company expects to earn additional delivery fees in its DMS business unit as well as distribution fees in CEG and software fees from our TCC software.    We are dependent on the availability of suitable financing for any large scale Phase II Deployment.  To date such sources of financing are still being pursued.

Other  4,144   3,768   (9)%
  $12,529  $11,528   (8)%

Direct operating expenses decreased $1.0 million or 8%.  The increase in direct operating costs in the Phase I Deployment segment was primarily due to a 5% increase in Phase 1 DC’s costs, attributable to a 38% increase in property taxes on Systems.   The increase in direct operating costs in the Phase II Deployment segment was due to Phase 2 DC costs which were not generated during the six months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in the Content & Entertainment segment was primarily related to a 14% decrease in minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising, reduced operational staffing levels at USM and reduced advertising and marketing costs in CEG related to the fewer number of programs CEG distributed during the quarter offset by non-cash content acquisition expenses of $0.5 million for CEG related to the fair value of barter advertising provided by USM. We expect direct operating expenses to decrease as compared to prior periods and remain constant at the current level.

  $9,020  $7,942   (12)%

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.1 million or 12%.  The decrease was primarily caused by reduced payroll related expenses in the Phase I Deployment segment due to the recent declinecompletion of our Phase I Deployment as those costs are now being allocated to the Phase II Deployment segment.  The decrease

35


was also related to reduced staffing levels in Libor ratesboth the Services segment and the projected outlookContent & Entertainment segment, and decreased professional fees and travel expenses within Corporate. Following the completion of our Phase I Deployment, overall headcount reductions have now stabilized.  As of September 30, 2008 and 2009, we had 252 and 244 employees, of which 40 and 47, were part-time employees and 39 and 43, were salespersons, respectively.  We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to decrease as compared to prior periods and remain relatively constant at the current level.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expense increased approximately $0.4 million or 114%.  The increase was primarily related to the expenses associated with the stock option awards granted during the three months ended September 30, 2009 which were issued in exchange for Libor rates remaining below the Company’s 2.8% fixed Libortermination of the AccessDM options.  Such grants vested upon issuance and resulted in an additional $0.3 million of expense for the quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense on Property and Equipment

Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent with last year.  Other than the Phase II Deployment segment, the decreases reflect reduced expense on assets which are fully depreciated or amortized at September 30, 2009.  The increase in the Phase II Deployment segment represents depreciation on the Phase 2 DC Systems which were not in service during the six months ended September 30, 2008.   We expect the depreciation and amortization expense in the Phase II Deployment segment to generally increase as new Phase 2 DC Systems are installed.

Interest expense increased $2.2 million or 15%. Total interest expense included $11.1 million and $14.4 million of interest paid and accrued for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  The increase in interest paid and accrued within the Phase I Deployment segment relates to the increased interest rate underon the GE Credit Facility related to the fourth amendment and in part to the Interest Rate Swap (see change in fair value of interest rate swap agreement.discussed below) and increased interest within the Phase II Deployment segment related to the KBC Related Facility to fund the purchase of Systems from Barco.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

InNon-cash interest expense was $3.0 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended September 2006,30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  The increase was due to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at fair value under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) at initial recognition and in all subsequent periods. Therefore, SFAS 157 nullifies the guidance in footnote 3accretion of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involvednote payable discount associated with the 2009 Note.  Non-cash interest related to the interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes has ceased as the 2007 Senior Notes were cancelled in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (“EITF 02-3”). SFAS 157 also amends SFAS 133 to remove the similar guidance to that in EITF 02-3, which was added by SFAS 155. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Relative to SFAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (SFAS 13), and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective dateAugust 2009.  Accretion of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

As a result of the completion of our Phase I Deployment and the continued payments of principal related to the GE Credit Facility, partially offset by limited borrowings related to the Phase II Deployment, we expect our interest expense to stabilize, as reduced interest from the 2007 Senior Notes will be replaced by increased interest on the 2009 Note.

those non-recurring nonfinancial assetsExtinguishment of debt

The gain on the extinguishment of debt was $10.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009, which resulted from the satisfaction of the principal and nonfinancial liabilities initially measured atany accrued and unpaid interest on the 2007 Senior Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $42.5 million which resulted in a gain of $12.5 million of remaining principal along with $0.6 million in unpaid accrued interest offset by unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.4 million.

In October 2008,The change in fair value of the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, "Determininginterest rate swap was $1.2 million for the Fair Value of a Financial Asset Whensix months ended September 30, 2009.  This represents Phase 1 DC’s unrealized gain from the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application should be accounted for as afair value of the Interest Rate Swap executed in April 2008 related to the GE Credit Facility.

Change in fair value of warrants

In February 2007,warrant liability was $14.3 million.  Until the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entitiesshares underlying these warrants are registered with the opportunitySEC, the Company will continue to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without havingadjust the warrant liability each quarter to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and early adoption is permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company adopted SFAS 159 and elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items atthen fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred operating losses in each year since we commenced our operations. Since our inception, we have financed our operations substantially through the private placement of shares of our common and preferred stock, the issuance of promissory notes, our initial public offering and subsequent private and public offerings, notes payable and common stock used to fund various acquisitions.

Our business is primarily driven by the emerging digital cinema marketplace and the primary revenue driver will be the increasing number of digitally equipped screens. There are approximately 38,000 domestic (United States and Canada) movie theatre screens and approximately 107,000 screens worldwide.  Approximately 5,2006,500 of the domestic screens are equipped with digital cinema technology, and 3,7233,884 of those screens contain our Systems and software. We anticipate the vast majority of the industry’s screens to be converted to digital in the next 5-7 years, and we have announced plans to convert up to an additional 10,000 domestic screens to digital in our Phase II Deployment over the nexta three years.year period starting October 2008, of which 160 Systems have been installed as of September 30, 2009. For those screens that are deployed by us, the primary revenue source will be VPFs, with the number of digital movies shown per screen, per year will bebeing the key factor for earnings and measuring the VPFs, since the studios pay such fees on a per movie, per screen basis.  For all new digital screens, whether or not deployed by us, the opportunity for other forms of revenue also increases. We may generate additional software license fee revenues (mainly from the TCC software which is used by exhibitors to aid in the operation of their systems), ACFs (such as concerts and sporting events) and fees from the delivery of content via satellite or hard drive.  In all cases, the number of digitally-equipped screens in the marketplace is the primary determinant of our potential revenue streams, although the emerging presence of competitors for software and content distribution and delivery may limit this opportunity.

In August 2006, AccessITPhase 1 DC entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”),GECC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders party thereto, and one or more lenders party thereto.  As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the GE Credit Facility was $191.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1%.  Further borrowings are not permitted under the GE Credit Facility.  The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict AccessITPhase 1 DC and its subsidiaries from making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates.  The GE Credit Facility is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than AccessITPhase 1 DC.  As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the GE Credit Facility was $167.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 10.7%.

In August 2007, AccessITPhase 1 DC received $9.6 million of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note”) for equipment used in AccessITPhase 1 DC’s Phase I Deployment.deployment. The Vendor Note bears interest at 11% and may be prepaid without penalty.  Interest is due semi-annually commencing February 2008.2008 and is paid by Cinedigm.  The balance of the Vendor Note, together with all unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of August 1, 2016.  The Vendor Note is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than AccessITPhase 1 DC.  As of December 31, 2008,September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the Vendor Note was $9.6 million.

In April 2008, Phase 1 DC executed the Interest Rate Swap with a counterparty for a notional amount of approximately 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility or an initial amount of $180.0 million. Under the Interest Rate Swap, Phase 1 DC will effectively pay a fixed rate of 7.3%, to guard against Phase 1 DC’s exposure to increases in the variable interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which took effect commencing August 2007, we1, 2008 as required by the GE Credit Facility and will remain in effect until August 2010.  As principal repayments of the GE Credit Facility occur, the notional

amount will decrease by a pro rata amount, such that approximately 90% of the remaining principal amount will be covered by the Interest Rate Swap at any time.

In May 2009, Phase 1 DC entered into the fourth amendment (the “GE Fourth Amendment”) with respect to the GE Credit Facility to (1) increase the interest rate from 4.5% to 6% above the Eurodollar Base Rate; (2) set the Eurodollar Base Rate floor at 2.5%; (3) reduce the required amount to be reserved for the payment of interest from nine months of forward cash interest to a fixed $6.9 million, and permitted a one-time payment of $2.6 million to be made from Phase 1 DC to its parent Company, AccessDM; (4) increase the quarterly maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis; (5) increase the maximum consolidated senior leverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis; (6) reduce the quarterly minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis and (7) add a covenant requiring Phase 1 DC to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $2.0 million at all times.  All of the changes contained in the GE Fourth Amendment are effective as of May 4, 2009 except for the covenant changes in (4), (5) and (6) above, which were effective as of March 31, 2009.  In connection with the GE Fourth Amendment, Phase 1 DC paid fees to GE and the other lenders totaling $1.0 million.  At September 30, 2009 the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the GE Credit Facility, as amended and noted above.

In December 2008, Phase 2 B/AIX, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the KBC Related Facility to fund the purchase of Systems from Barco, to be installed in movie theatres as part of the Company’s Phase II Deployment.  As of September 30, 2009, $8.9 million has been drawn down on the KBC Related Facility and the outstanding principal balance of the KBC Related Facility was $8.9 million.

In August 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party theretoan affiliate of Sageview Capital LP (the “Purchasers”“Purchaser”) pursuant to which we issued 10%the Company agreed to issue a Senior NotesSecured Note (the “2007 Senior Notes”“2009 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0$75.0 million and warrants (the “August 2007 Private Placement”“Sageview Warrants”) and received net proceeds of approximately $53.0 million.

In August 2009, in connection with the 2007 Senior Notes we agreed (i) to limit our total indebtedness to an aggregate of $315.0 million unless certain conditions were met, which conditions have been met allowing us to incur indebtedness in excess of $315.0 million in the aggregate and (ii) not to, and not to cause our subsidiaries (except for AccessIT2009 Private Placement, Phase 1 DC and its subsidiaries) to, incur indebtedness, with certain exceptions, including an exception for $10.0 million; provided that no more than $5.0 million of such indebtedness is incurred by AccessDM or AccessIT Satellite or any of their respective subsidiaries except as incurred by AccessDM pursuant to a guaranty entered into in accordancea fifth amendment  (the “GE Fifth Amendment”) with respect to the GE Credit Facility, (see below).  Additionally,whereby $5.0 million of the proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement were used by the Company to purchase capital stock of AccessDM, which in turn used such amount to purchase capital stock of Phase 1 DC, which in turn used such amount to fund a prepayment with respect to the GE Credit Facility, with such prepayment being applied ratably to each of the next 24 successive regularly scheduled monthly amortization payments due under the 2007 Senior Notes, AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries may incur additional indebtednessGE Credit Facility beginning in connection with the deployment of Systems beyond our initial rollout of up to 4,000 Systems, if certain conditions are met.  As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the 2007 Senior Notes was $55.0 million.August 2009.

As of December 31, 2008,September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22.6$19.7 million and our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $10.7$5.9 million.

Operating activities used net cash of $4.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, and provided net cash of $21.6$15.2 million and $6.8 million for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2008.September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  The increasedecrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the decreased net loss, an increase of non-cash depreciation and amortization along with improved collections of outstanding accounts receivable, reducedincreased payments for accounts payable and accrued expenses and a reductionan increase in unbilled revenue coupled with greater amounts of unbilled revenuesnon-cash expenses, specifically the gain from extinguishment of debt, offset by increased prepaid expensesa decreased net loss and decreased deferred revenues.  We expect operating activities to continue to be a positive source of cash.

We have contractual obligations that include long-term debt consisting of notes payable, a revolving credit facility,facilities, non-cancelable long-term capital lease obligations for the Pavilion Theatre and other various computer networkrelated equipment, for USM, non-cancelable operating leases consisting of real estate leases and minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements between USM andwith exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising.

We have incurred net losses historically and through the current period, and until recently, have used cash in operating activities, and have an accumulated deficit of $128.7 million as of December 31, 2008. We also have significant contractual obligations related to our debt for the remainder of fiscal year 2009 and beyond. We expect to continue generatingto generate net losses for the foreseeable future.future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on funds advanced under the GE Credit Facility, interest on the 2009 Note, software development, marketing and promotional activities and the development of relationships with other businesses. Certain of ourthese costs, including costs of software development and marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by the 2009 Note and the Credit Agreement may limit our ability to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our existing debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, requirements increased.capital expenditures and other corporate requirements.  We are seeking to raise additional capital to refinance certain outstanding debt, and also for equipment requirements related to our Phase II Deployment or for working capital as necessary. Although we recently entered into certain agreements with studio and exhibitors related to the Phase II Deployment, there is no assurance that financing of additional Systems for the Phase II Deployment will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to us or our existing shareholders.stockholders. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve our intended business objectives. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments which may result from our inability to continue as a going concern.


Based on our cash position at December 31, 2008, and expected cash flows from operations, our management believes that the cash on hand and cash receipts from existing operations will be sufficient to permit us to meet our obligations through December 31, 2009.

Seasonality

Media ServicesRevenues derived from our Pavilion Theatre in our Other segment and our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segment revenues derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios and Content & Entertainment revenues derived from our Pavilion Theatre are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the

40


traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. We believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, is becoming less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

Related Party Transactions

In August 2009, the Company hired Adam M. Mizel to be its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer.  Mr. Mizel has been a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since March 2009 and is currently the Managing Principal of Aquifer Capital Group, LLC and the General Partner of the Aquifer Opportunity Fund, L.P., currently the Company’s largest shareholder.

Subsequent Events

In JanuaryWe have evaluated events and transactions that occurred between September 30, 2009 and November 13, 2009, which is the Companydate the financial statements were issued, 19,921 shares of Class A Common Stock for restricted stock awardspossible disclosure or recognition in the financial statements. We have determined that vested.

In January 2009, we issued 129,871 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock with an approximate value of $100 thousandthere were no such events or transactions that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements except as payment for services rendered related to the preferred stock subscription as discussednoted below.

In JanuaryOctober 2009, in connection with the SD Services Agreement, we issued 70,432Company’s Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 DC has received commitment letters from GE Capital and Soc Gen for senior credit facilities totaling up to $100 million.  The Company anticipates the closing of this new loan facility, together with support from digital cinema equipment vendors Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. and Barco by December 31, 2009 with installations targeted to commence in early 2010.  GE Capital’s commitment covers the financing of up to about 1,600 Systems and Soc Gen’s commitment covers the financing of up to an additional 533 Systems.

In October 2009, in connection with the Company’s Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 DC entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with two additional motion picture studios for the distribution of digital movie releases to motion picture exhibitors equipped with Systems, and providing for payment of VPFs to Phase 2 DC.  Phase 2 DC now has digital cinema deployment agreements with eight motion picture studios.

In October 2009, the Company’s name change from Access Integrated Technologies, Inc., to Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. and the increase in the number of shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock with a value of $49 thousandauthorized for issuance from 65,0000,000 to SDE as partial payment for such services and resources.75,000,000 shares became effective.
In February 2009, we issued Series A 10% Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (the “Preferred Warrants”) to an investor for total proceeds of $2.0 million.  The $2.0 million had been received in December 2008 and was recorded by us as a liability as of December 31, 2008.  The investor received 4 shares of Preferred Stock and Preferred Warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.66 per share.  Dividends will accrue on the Preferred Stock at a rate of 10% per annum and are payable quarterly after the maturity date of the 2007 Senior Notes in cash or, at our option and subject to certain conditions, in shares of Class A Common Stock.  The Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning in March 2009 until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases in the ordinary course of business, which is disclosed above in the table of our significant contractual obligations.

Impact of Inflation

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our GE Credit Facility and cash equivalents. The interest rate on certain advances under the GE Credit Facility fluctuates with the bank’s prime rate.  As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the GE Credit Facility was $191.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1%.

Interest to be paid by us on our GE Credit Facility is our only debt with a floating interest rate. In April 2008, the Company executed an Interest Rate Swap whereby we fixed a portion (90%) of our interest with respect to the GE Credit Facility at 7.3%. The Interest Rate Swap will remain in effect until August 2010. Additionally, at December 31, 2008, the remaining portion of the GE Credit Facility that is subject to variable interest rates is approximately $19.2 million. While we have a fixed interest rate of 7.3% on 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility, an increase or decrease in current and forecasted interest rates will cause the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap to increase or decrease, respectively, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Our customer base is primarily composed of businesses throughout the United States.  We routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and the status of our accounts receivable and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, we establish an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a result, we believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

All sales and purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

ITEM 4.Item 4T.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision andOur management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, ofhas evaluated the effectiveness of ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-1513a-15(e) and 15d-15 of15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance as of achieving our objectives andthe end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, ouras of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective atin recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that reasonable assurance level.it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the CompanyThere have been detected.

There was no changechanges in ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completedthe last fiscal quarter that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting.



PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our subsidiary, ADM Cinema, was named as a defendant in an action filed on May 19, 2008 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings by Pavilion on the Park, LLC (“Landlord”).  Landlord is the owner of the premises located at 188 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York, known as the Pavilion Theatre.  Pursuant to the relevant lease, ADM Cinema leases the Pavilion Theatre from Landlord and operates it as a movie theatre.

In the complaint, Landlord alleges that ADM Cinema violated its obligations under Article 12 of the lease in that ADM Cinema failed to comply with an Order of the Fire Department of the City of New York issued on September 24, 2007 calling for the installation of a sprinkler system in the Pavilion Theatre and that such violation constitutes an event of default under the lease.  Landlord seeks to terminate the lease and evict ADM Cinema from the premises and to recover its attorneys’ fees and damages for ADM Cinema’s alleged “holding over” by remaining on the premises. We believe thatIn July 2009, we have meritorious defenses against these claimsentered into an agreement with Landlord to settle this matter where we would be responsible for 25% of the cost and we intendexpenses related to defend our position vigorously. However, if we do not prevail,the installation of a sprinkler system.  As an additional condition of this agreement, any significant loss resulting in eviction may have a material effectoption to renew or extend this lease has been eliminated.  This lease ends on our business, results of operations and cash flows.July 31, 2022.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

The information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, should be carefully reviewed and considered. There have been no material changes from the factors disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, other than2009, except as set forth below, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

New technologiesThe acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation and our Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, which are intended to help preserve our net operating losses, may make our Digital Cinema Assets less desirable to motion picture studiosnot be effective or exhibitors of digital content and result in decreasing revenues.

The demand for our Systems and other assets in connection with our digital cinema business (collectively, our “Digital Cinema Assets”) may be affected by future advances in technology and changes in customer demands.  We cannot assure you that there will be continued demand for our Digital Cinema Assets.  Our profitability depends largely upon the continued use of digital presentations at theatres.  Although we have entered into long term agreements with major motion picture studios and independent studios (the “Studio Agreements”), there can be no assurance that these studios will continue to distribute digital content to movie theatres.  If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not continue or technology is used that is not compatible with our Systems, there may be no viable market for our Systems.  Any reduction in the use of our Systems resulting from the development and deployment of new technology may negatively impact our revenues and the value of our Systems.

unintended negative effects.

We have concentrationexperienced, and may continue to experience, substantial operating losses, and under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382"), and rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, we may "carry forward" these net operating losses (“NOLs”) in certain circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce our business with respectfederal income tax liability, subject to our major motion picture studio customers,certain requirements and restrictions.  To the loss of one or more of our largest studio customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our Studio Agreements account forextent that the NOLs do not otherwise become limited, we believe that we will be able to carry forward a significant portion of our revenues.  Together these studios generated 80.6%, 80.8%, 39.5%, 65.3%, 72.6% and 52.2% of AccessIT DC’s, Phase 2 DC’s, AccessIT SW’s, AccessDM’s, the Media Service segment’s, and consolidated revenues, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

The Studio Agreements are critical to our business.  If someamount of the Studio Agreements were terminated prior to the end of their terms or found toNOLs, and therefore these NOLs could be unenforceable, or if our Systems are not upgraded or enhanced as necessary, or if we had a material failure of our Systems, it may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows.  The Studio Agreements also generally provide that the VPF rates and other material terms of the agreements may not be more favorable to one studio as compared to the others.

Termination of the MLAs could damage our revenue and profitability.

The master license agreements with each of our licensed exhibitors (the “MLAs”) are critical to our business. The MLAs each have a term which expires in 2020 and provide the exhibitor with an option to purchase our Systems or to renew for successive one year periods up to ten years thereafter. The MLAs also require our suppliers to upgrade our Systems when technology necessary for compliance with DCI Specification becomes commercially available and we may determine to enhance the Systems which may require additional capital expenditures.  If any one of the MLAs were terminated prior to the end of its term, not renewed at its expiration or found to be unenforceable, or if our Systems are not upgraded or enhanced as necessary, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows.

We have concentration in our business with respect to our major licensed exhibitors, and the loss of one or more of our largest exhibitors could have a material adverse effect on us.

Over 60% of our Systems are in theatres owned or operated by one large exhibitor.  The loss of this exhibitor or another of our major licensed exhibitors could have a negative impact on the aggregate receipt of VPF revenues as a result of the loss of any associated MLAs.  Although we do not receive revenues from licensed exhibitors and we have attempted to limit our licenses to only those theatres which we believe are successful, each MLA with our licensed exhibitors is important, depending on the number of screens, to our business since our VPF revenues are generated based on screen turnover at theatres.  If the MLA with a significant exhibitor was terminated prior to the end of its term, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows.  There can be no guarantee that the MLAs with our licensed exhibitors will not be terminated prior to the end of its term.

An increase in the use of alternative film distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance, which, if causing significant theatre closures or a substantial decline in motion picture production, may leadasset to reductions inus.  If, however, we experience a Section 382 ownership change, our revenues.

Various exhibitor chains which are the Company’s distributors face competition for patrons from a number of alternative motion picture distribution channels, such as DVD, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and downloading utilizing the internet.  These exhibitor chains also compete with other forms of entertainment competing for patrons’ leisure time and disposable income such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events.  An increase in popularity of these alternative film distribution channels and competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance and potentially cause certain of our exhibitors to close their theatres for extended periods of time.  Significant theatre closures could in turn have a negative impact on the aggregate receipt of our VPF revenues, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to service our debt.

An increase inuse the use of alternative film distribution channels could also causeNOLs will be substantially limited, and the overall production of motion pictures to decline, which, if substantial, could have an adverse effect on the businesses of the major studios with which we have Studio Agreements.  A decline in the businesses of the major studios could in turn force the termination of certain Studio Agreements prior to the end of their terms. The Studio Agreements with each of the major studios are critical to our business, and their early termination may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows.

timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset. 

Our revenuesTo reduce the likelihood of an ownership change, we have established acquisition restrictions in our certificate of incorporation and earningsour board of directors (the "Board") adopted a tax benefit preservation plan (the "Tax Benefit Preservation Plan"). The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan is designed to protect shareholder value by attempting to protect against a limitation on our ability to use our existing NOLs. The acquisition restrictions in our certificate of incorporation are also intended to restrict certain acquisitions of our common stock to help preserve our ability to utilize our NOLs by avoiding the limitations imposed by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations. The acquisition restrictions and the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan are generally designed to restrict or deter direct and indirect acquisitions of our common stock if such acquisition would result in a shareholder becoming a “5-percent shareholder” (as defined by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations) or increase the percentage ownership of Cinedigm stock that is treated as owned by an existing 5-percent shareholder.

Although the acquisition restrictions and the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan are intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change that could adversely affect us, we can give no assurance that such restrictions would prevent all transfers that could result in such an ownership change. In particular, we have been advised by our counsel that, absent a court determination, there can be no assurance that the acquisition restrictions will be enforceable against all of our shareholders, and that they may be subject to market downturns.challenge on equitable grounds. In particular, it is possible that the acquisition restrictions may not be enforceable against the shareholders who voted against or abstained from voting on the restrictions at our 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our revenues and earningsUnder certain circumstances, our Board may fluctuate significantlydetermine it is in the future.  General economicbest interest of the Company to exempt certain 5-percent shareholders from the operation of the acquisition restrictions or the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, if a proposed transaction is determined not to be detrimental to the Company’s utilization of its NOLs.

The acquisition restrictions and Tax Benefit Preservation Plan also require any person attempting to become a holder of 5% or more of our common stock, as determined under Section 382, to seek the approval of our Board. This may have an unintended “anti-takeover” effect because our Board may be able to prevent any future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of stock that a stockholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to replace current management. Additionally, because the acquisition restrictions and the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan have the effect of restricting a stockholder’s ability to dispose of or acquire our common stock, the liquidity and market value of our Class A Common Stock might suffer. The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan will remain in effect until the earlier of (a) August 10, 2012, or (b) such other conditions could cause a downturndate as our Board in good faith determines it is no longer in the marketbest interests of Cinedigm and its stockholders. The acquisition restrictions may be waived by our Board. Stockholders are advised to monitor carefully their ownership of our common stock and consult their own legal advisors and/or Cinedigm to determine whether their ownership of our common stock approaches the proscribed level.

The occurrence of various events may adversely affect the ability of the Company to fully utilize NOLs.

The Company has a substantial amount of NOLs for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are available both currently and in the future to offset taxable income and gains. Events outside of our Systemscontrol may cause us to experience a Section 382 ownership change, and limit our ability to fully utilize such NOLs.

In general, an ownership change occurs when, as of any testing date, the percentage of stock of a corporation owned by one or technology.  The recent financial disruption affectingmore “5-percent shareholders,” as defined in the banking system and financial marketsSection 382 and the concernrelated Treasury regulations, has increased by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock of the corporation owned by such shareholders at any time during the three-year period preceding such date. In general, persons who own 5% or more of a corporation’s stock are 5-percent shareholders, and all other persons who own less than 5% of a corporation’s stock are treated, together, as a single, public group 5-percent shareholder, regardless of whether they own an aggregate of 5% or more of a corporation’s stock. If a corporation experiences an ownership change, it is generally subject to whether investment banks and other financial institutions will continue operationsan annual limitation, which limits its ability to use its NOLs to an amount equal to the equity value of the corporation multiplied by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate.

If we were to experience an ownership change, we could potentially have, in the foreseeable future, higher U.S. federal income tax liabilities than we would otherwise have resulted in a tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial marketshad and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit and equity markets.  The credit crisis may result in our inability to refinance our outstanding debt obligations or to finance our Phase II Deployment.  The recent credit crisisit may also result in certain other adverse consequences to us. Therefore, we have adopted the inabilityTax Benefit Preservation Plan and the acquisition restrictions set forth in Article Fourth of our studios, exhibitors or other customerscertificate of incorporation in order to obtain credit to finance operations; a slowdown in global economies which could result in lower consumer demand for films; counterparty failures negatively impacting our Interest Rate Swap; or increased impairments of our assets.  The current volatility inreduce the financial markets and overall economic uncertainty increase the risk of substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations in our earnings.  Any of these factors could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and could result in significant additional dilution to shareholders.

Economic conditions could materially adversely affect the Company.

The Company’s operations and performance could be influenced by worldwide economic conditions.  Uncertainty about current global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for the Company’s products and services.  Other factors that could influence demand include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior.  These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products and services and on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.  Uncertainty about current global economic conditions could also continue to increase the volatility of the Company’s stock price.

If the market price of our common stock declines, we may not be able to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market which may impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of such companies. These broad market movements may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Company’s Common Stock is presently listed on NASDAQ.  Although we are not currently in jeopardy of delisting, we cannot assure you that NASDAQ will continue its suspension of the continued listing requirement relating to minimum bid prices of securities currently scheduled to expire on April 20, 2009.  If NASDAQ discontinues such suspension and our Common Stock continues to trade at current prices, we cannot assure youlikelihood that we will meet the criteria for continued listing and our Common Stock could become delisted. Any such delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the loss of confidence in our financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. If the Company’s Common Stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, we may face a lengthy process to re-list the Company’s Common Stock, if we are able to re-list the Company’s Common Stock at all, and the liquidity that NASDAQ provides will no longer be available to investors.experience an

If the Company’s Common Stock were to be delisted from NASDAQ, the holders of the 2007 Senior Notes would have the right to redeem the outstanding principal of the 2007 Senior Notes plus interest. As a result, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. If we default under the 2007 Senior Notes obligations, our lenders could take actions that would restrict our operations.

The continued threat of terrorism and ongoing military and other actions may result in decreases in our net income, revenue and assets under management and may adversely affect our business

The continued threat of terrorism, both within the United States of America and abroad, and the ongoing military and other actions and heightened security measures in response to these types of threats, may cause significant volatility and declines in the capital markets in the United States of America, Europe and elsewhere, loss of life, property damage, additional disruptions to commerce and reduced economic activity.  An actual terrorist attack could cause losses from a decrease in our business.

ownership change under Section 382. There can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will deter or prevent the occurrence of an ownership change and the adverse consequences that may arise therefrom, as described above under “The acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation and our Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, which are intended to help preserve our net operating losses, may not be effective or may have unintended negative effects.”

The war on terrorism, the threat of additional terrorist attacks, the political and the economic uncertainties that may result and other unforeseen events may impose additional risks upon and adversely affect the cinema industry and our business.  We cannot offer assurances that the threats of future terrorist-like events in the United States of America and abroad or military actions by the United States of America will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
