COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and the President of common stockthe United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had a negative impact on the global economy.

The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consolidated financial statements. Government-imposed restrictions and general behavioral changes in response to the pandemic adversely affected the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. This included performance revenue generated from retail, restaurants, bars, gyms and live shows, synchronization revenue, and the release schedule of physical product. Even as government restrictions are lifted and consumer behavior starts to return to pre-pandemic norms, it is unclear for how long and to what extent the Company’s operations will continue to be affected.

Although the Company has not made material changes to any estimates or judgments that impact its consolidated financial statements as a result of COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Future developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect the Company’s operating results, including reductions in revenue and cash flow and could impact the Units sold, the “Public Shares”),Company’s impairment assessments of accounts receivable or intangible assets, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.may be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequently, the Company reduced this liability and recognized a reduction in payroll expenses on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for a target company,which the specific impact is not readily determinable as ofPPP Loan was intended were incurred. NaN interest for the date ofPPP Loan was recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.Company:

Use of Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and liabilitiesexpenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dateliabilities. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, determining useful lives of the financial statementsintangible assets, intangible asset recoverability and the reported amounts of revenuesimpairment and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actualaccrued revenue. Actual results could differ significantly from thosethese estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $115 million was placed in the Trust Account and invested in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the respective functional currencies at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of acquisition or issue. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. All exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

Financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange for the fiscal year. Exchange gains and losses are deferred and reflected on the balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in income upon substantial disposal of the net investment in the foreign operation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Customer payments that are not collected in advance of the transfer of promised services or goods are generally due 30-60 days from the invoice date. The Company monitors customer credit risk related to accounts receivable and, when deemed necessary, maintains a provision for estimated uncollectible accounts, which is estimated based on historical experience, aging trends and in certain cases, management judgments about specific customers. Based on this analysis, the Company did not record a provision for estimated uncollectible accounts as of December 31, 2021 or March 31, 2021.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Customer credit risk represents the potential for financial loss if a customer is unwilling or unable to meet its agreed upon contractual payment obligations.

In the Music Publishing segment, the Company collects a significant portion of its royalties from global copyright collecting societies. Collecting societies and associations are generally not-for-profit organizations that represent composers, songwriters and music publishers. These organizations seek to protect the rights of their members by licensing, collecting license fees and distributing royalties for the use of the members’ works. The Company does not believe there is any significant collection risk from such societies and associations.

In the Recorded Music segment, the majority of the revenue is collected from the Company’s distribution partners, rather than directly from the customers. These distribution partners primarily pay through the revenue to the Company on a monthly basis. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its distribution partners and the Company does not believe there is any significant collection risk.

Acquisitions and Business Combinations

In conjunction with each acquisition transaction, the Company assesses whether the transaction should follow accounting guidance applicable to an asset acquisition or a business combination. This assessment requires an evaluation of whether the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, resulting in an asset acquisition or, if not, resulting in a business combination. If treated as an asset acquisition, the asset is recorded in accordance with the Company’s intangible asset policy and related acquisition costs are capitalized as part of the asset.

In a business combination, the Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any consideration paid in excess of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination is recorded to goodwill and acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of publishing and recorded music catalogs. Intangible assets are recorded at fair value in a business combination and relative fair value in an asset acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful lives using the straight-line method.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its amortizable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the lives assigned may no longer be appropriate. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. If the Company determines that events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization, an asset’s remaining useful life would be changed, and the remaining carrying amount of the asset would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

Goodwill

The Company had $402,067 of goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, which is classified with “Other assets” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. All of the goodwill arose in connection with an acquisition on December 29, 2019 and has been assigned to a reporting unit within the Music Publishing segment. There were 0 impairments, disposals or other acquisitions of goodwill in the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter (January 1), or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not (greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is below the carrying amount.

In reviewing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company will measure any goodwill impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The Company performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill as of January 1, 2022 and no impairment was required. Our impairment testing consisted of a qualitative assessment. Changes in market conditions, laws and regulations, and key assumptions could negatively impact the results of future impairment testing and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge.

Investments in Equity Affiliates

The Company accounts for investments in affiliates using the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence over an affiliate’s operations. The Company’s share of investee’s net income or loss and basis difference amortization is classified as “Interest and other income” in the consolidated statements of income.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue principally relates to fixed fees and minimum guarantees received in advance of the Company’s performance or usage by the licensee. Reductions in deferred revenue are a result of the Company’s performance under the contract or usage by the licensee.

Deferred Finance Costs

Deferred finance costs are amortized on an effective interest basis over the term of the related obligation. Deferred finance charges are netted against the loans. See Note 8, “Loans” for additional information with respect to the Company’s financing arrangements.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges consist of direct costs incurred in connection with the potential acquisition of entertainment interests in music compositions pursued by the Company. Such costs are deferred when closing of the transaction is deemed probable and are added to the cost of the asset once acquired or expensed if the acquisition does not proceed.

Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, control of the promised services or goods is transferred to its customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is contractually due in exchange for those services or goods.  

Music Publishing

Music Publishing revenues are earned in the form of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions and the sale of published sheet music and songbooks. Royalties principally relate to amounts earned from the public performance of musical compositions, the mechanical reproduction of musical compositions on recorded media including digital formats and the use of musical compositions in synchronization with visual images. Music publishing royalties, except for synchronization royalties, are recognized when the sale or usage occurs. The most common stock subjectform of consideration for publishing contracts is sales- and usage-based royalties. The collecting societies submit usage reports, typically with payment for royalties due, often on a quarterly or biannual reporting period, in arrears. Royalties are recognized as the sale or usage occurs based upon usage reports when these reports are available for the reporting period or estimates of royalties based on historical data, such as recent royalties reported, company-specific information with respect to possible redemptionchanges in repertoire, industry information and other relevant trends when usage reports are not available for the reporting period. Synchronization revenue is recognized as revenue when control of the license is transferred to the customer.

Recorded Music

Revenues from the sale or license of Recorded Music products through digital distribution channels are recognized when the sale or usage occurs based on usage reports received from the customer. Digital licensing contracts are generally long-term with consideration

in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties that are primarily received monthly. For certain licenses where the consideration is fixed and the intellectual property being licensed is static, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer.

Revenues from the sale of physical Recorded Music products are recognized upon delivery, which occurs once the product has been shipped and control has been transferred.

Principal versus Agent Revenue Recognition

The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in a transaction. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service before transfer to the customer. When the Company concludes that it controls the good or service before transfer to the customer, the Company is considered a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis. When the Company concludes that it does not control the good or service before transfer to the customer but arranges for another entity to provide the good or service, the Company acts as an agent and records revenue on a net basis in the amount it earns for its agency service.

The Company is typically required to pay a specified portion of the fees, earnings, payments and revenues received from the exploitation of the underlying music compositions to the original songwriter (the “Royalty Costs”). The Company records revenues on a gross basis reflecting its position as a principal in the transaction and any royalties payable to third parties, including the writer’s fees, are recorded as expenses.

Royalty Costs and Royalty Advances

The Company incurs Royalty Costs that are payable to its songwriters and recording artists generated from the sale or license of its music publishing copyrights and recorded music catalog. Royalties are calculated using negotiated rates in accordance with the recording artist and songwriter contracts. Calculations are based on revenue earned or user/usage measures or a combination of these. There are instances where such data is not available to be processed and royalty cost calculations may be complex or involve judgments about significant volumes of data to be processed and analyzed.

In many instances, the Company commits to pay its recording artists and songwriters royalties in advance of future sales. The Company accounts for these advances under the related guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”ASC) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities928, “Entertainment—Music” (“ASC 928”). Under ASC 928, the Company capitalizes as assets certain advances, which it believes are recoverable from Equity.” Common stock subjectfuture royalties to mandatory redemptionbe earned by the recording artist or songwriter when paid. Recoverability is classified asassessed upon initial commitment of the advance based upon the Company’s forecast of anticipated revenue from the sale of future and existing albums or musical compositions. In determining whether the advance is recoverable, the Company evaluates the current and past popularity of the recording artist or songwriter, the sales history of the recording artist or songwriter, the initial or expected commercial acceptability of the product, the current and past popularity of the genre of music that the product is designed to appeal to, and other relevant factors. Advances vary in both amount and expected life based on the underlying recording artist or songwriter. To the extent that a liability instrument andportion of an outstanding advance is no longer deemed recoverable, that amount will be expensed in the period the determination is made.

Share-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to the issuance of share-based awards to the Company’s employees is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable commonvalue on the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock (including common stockoptions. The compensation expense for awards that features redemptionvest over a future service period is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company recognizes share-based award forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating by applying a forfeiture rate.

Earnings Per Share

The consolidated statements of income present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed using the two-class method, which includes the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (the “participating securities”). Under the two-class method, all earnings, both distributed and undistributed, are allocated to shares of Common Stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends.

Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Companies subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provision (“GILTI”) have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for outside basis temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI.  The Company has elected to treat taxes on GILTI as period costs and no deferred tax asset or liability is recorded.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”). ASC 220 requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income/loss by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from capital stock and accumulated deficit in the shareholders’ equity section of a statement of financial position.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s interest rate swaps have not been designated as a hedging instrument and, therefore, are recognized at fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition thresholdFair Value Measurement and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Hierarchy

The Company recognizes accrued interestreports in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and penalties relatedDisclosures” (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to unrecognized tax benefitssell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions as income tax expense. There were 0 unrecognized tax benefitsto what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and 0 amounts accruedare based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:

Level 1––Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2––Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3––Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. See Note 15, “Financial Instruments” for additional information.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is currentlyan “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not awareemerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any issuesgolden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement declared effective under reviewthe Securities Act or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Companya company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses.

Net income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of income. For public entities, ASU 2016-02 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. Under ASU 2020-05, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842),” the new standard is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2022 and interim periods within the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2023.

ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach with application in all comparative periods presented (the “comparative method”), or alternatively, as of the effective date as the date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements (the “effective date method”). The new guidance also provides several practical expedients and policies that companies may elect under either transition method. The Company currently expects to apply the effective date method and elect the package of practical expedients under which it will not reassess the classification of its existing leases, reevaluate whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases or reassess initial direct costs under the new guidance. Rather, the Company will retain the conclusions reached for these items under ASC Topic 840, Leases.  Additionally, the Company expects to elect a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from lease components. The Company does not expect to elect the practical expedient that permits a reassessment of lease terms for existing leases.

The Company has commenced an analysis of the impact of ASU 2016-02 and developed a plan for its implementation. The project plan includes analyzing the impact of the new guidance on our current lease contracts, reviewing the completeness of the Company’s existing lease portfolio, comparing the Company’s accounting policies under current accounting guidance to the new accounting guidance and identifying potential differences from applying the requirements of the new guidance to the Company’s lease contracts. Under current accounting guidance for leases, the Company does not recognize an asset or liability created by operating leases where the Company is the lessee. Therefore, the Company expects an increase to its assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing assets and liabilities for operating leases where the Company is the lessee on the date of initial application of the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on the amount or timing of the Company’s cash flows or liquidity.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-03”), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current US GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Subsequent to ASU 2016-03, the FASB has issued several related ASUs amending the original ASU 2016-03. The updates are intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. For public entities, ASU 2016-03 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. For the Company, ASU 2016-03 is effective beginning April 1, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-03 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. For public entities, ASU 2019-12 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For the Company, ASU 2019-12 is effective beginning April 1, 2022 and interim periods beginning April 1, 2023. Early adoption of ASU 2019-12 is permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or the Company’s disclosures as a result of the adoption of ASU 2019-12.

In April 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting; particularly as it relates to the risk of cessation of LIBOR. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND PIPE INVESTMENT

As discussed in Note 1, “Description of Business,” on the Closing Date, the Company consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP, primarily because former shareholders of RHI continue to control the Company upon closing of the Business Combination.  Under this method of accounting, the Company is treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of RHI issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. In addition, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of RHI and its consolidated subsidiaries as if RHI is the predecessor to the Company.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of RHI (the “RHI Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of RHI (the “RHI Common Stock”) at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant RHI’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “RHI Preferred Stock Conversion”). Additionally, each share of RHI Common Stock (including the RHI Common Stock resulting from the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination was canceled and converted into the right to receive 196.06562028646 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, each option to acquire a share of RHI Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination became fully vested in accordance with the original terms of the awards and was converted into an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (each option, an “RMI Exchanged Option”), with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the options and exercise price of each RMI Exchanged Option adjusted commensurately with the Exchange Ratio.

In connection with the Business Combination, ROCC entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which ROCC issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of ROCC (the “ROCC Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). ROCC consummated the PIPE Investment immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Approximately $20,900,000 of transaction fees and expenses were incurred in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, which have been accounted for as a reduction in proceeds.

A portion of the proceeds from the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment was used to pay transaction fees and expenses, and approximately $81,300,000 was used to retire the Tommy Boy Related Party Notes (as defined below) and related accrued interest, repay the secured loan outstanding in an amount of $18,250,000 and make a payment totaling $36,750,000 on the secured line of credit in connection with a refinancing of the Previous Credit Facilities. See Note 8, “Loans” for additional information with respect to the Company’s financing arrangements.

On the Closing Date, the Company also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to adjust the number of its authorized shares of capital stock to 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

NOTE 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

For the Company’s operating segments, Music Publishing and Recorded Music, the Company accounts for a contract when it has legally enforceable rights and obligations and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company identifies the performance obligations and determines the transaction price associated with the contract. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is contractually due in exchange for those services or goods. Certain of the Company’s arrangements include licenses of intellectual property with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties. Royalty revenue is recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs using the best estimates available of the amounts that will be received by the Company. The Company recognized revenue of $1,210,132 and $2,263,778 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Only the United States represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Music Publishing

Music publishers act as copyright owners and/or administrators of the musical compositions and generate revenues related to the exploitation of musical compositions (as opposed to recorded music). Music publishers receive royalties from the use of the musical compositions in public performances, digital and physical recordings, and through synchronization (the combination of music with visual images).

Performance revenues are received when the musical composition is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio and cable and in retail locations (e.g., bars and restaurants), live performance at a concert or other venue (e.g., arena concerts and nightclubs) and performance of musical compositions in staged theatrical productions. Digital revenues are derived from musical compositions being embodied in recordings licensed to digital streaming services and digital download services and for digital performance. Mechanical revenues are generated with respect to the musical compositions embodied in recordings sold in any physical format such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs. Synchronization revenues represent the right to use the composition in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games as well as from other uses such as in toys or novelty items and merchandise. Other revenues represent earnings for use in printed sheet music and other uses. Digital and synchronization revenue recognition is similar for both Recorded Music and Music Publishing, therefore refer to the discussion within Recorded Music.

Included in these revenue streams, excluding synchronization and other revenues, are licenses with performing rights organizations or collecting societies (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GEMA), which are long-term contracts containing a single performance obligation, which is ongoing access to all intellectual property in an evolving content library. The most common form of consideration for these contracts is sales- and usage-based royalties. The collecting societies submit usage reports, typically with payment for royalties due, often on a quarterly or biannual reporting period, in arrears. Royalties are recognized as the sale or usage occurs based upon usage reports and, when these reports are not available, royalties are estimated based on historical data, such as recent royalties reported, company-specific information with respect to changes in repertoire, industry information and other relevant trends.

The Company excludes from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and (ii) collected from customers.

Recorded Music

Recorded Music mainly involves selling, marketing, distribution and licensing of recorded music owned by the Company. Recorded Music revenues are derived from four main sources, which include digital, physical, synchronization and neighboring rights.

17

RESERVOIR MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

(Unaudited)

Digital revenues are generated from the expanded universe of digital partners, including digital streaming services and download services. Digital licensing contracts are generally long-term with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties that are typically received monthly.  Additionally, for certain licenses, including synchronization licenses, where the consideration is fixed and the intellectual property being licensed is static, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer.

Physical revenues are generated from the sale of physical products such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs. The Company uses distribution partners to facilitate the sale of physical products. Revenues from the sale of physical Recorded Music products are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which typically occurs once the product has been shipped and the ability to direct use and obtain substantially all of the benefit from the asset have been transferred. In accordance with industry practice and as is customary in many territories, certain products, such as CDs and DVDs, are sold to customers with the right to return unsold items. Revenues from such sales are generally recognized upon shipment based on gross sales.

Synchronization revenues represent royalties or fees for the right to use sound recordings in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games. In certain territories, the Company may also receive royalties when sound recordings are performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio and cable and in public spaces such as shops, workplaces, restaurants, bars and clubs. These public performance royalties on sound recordings are classified as “Neighboring rights” revenue. For fixed-fee contracts, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer. Royalty based contracts are recognized as the underlying sales or usage occurs.

NOTE 5. ACQUISITIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly acquires publishing and recorded music catalogs, which are typically accounted for as asset acquisitions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company completed such acquisitions totaling $160,566,608 and $98,991,836, respectively, inclusive of deferred acquisition payments. Significant acquisition transactions, all of which have been accounted for as asset acquisitions, completed during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included the following:

On June 2, 2021, the Company acquired U.S. based record label and music publishing company Tommy Boy for approximately $100 million. NaN members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) were also members of Tommy Boy’s board of managers and had an equity interest in both companies. The acquisition of Tommy Boy was accounted for as an asset acquisition as a result of the significant concentration of the fair value of gross assets acquired in a recorded music catalog intangible asset (weighted average useful life of 30 years).
On April 13, 2020, the Company acquired all of the copyrights to the musical compositions owned by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc. (“SBI”), one of the oldest music publishers in the United States. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as a result of the significant concentration of the fair value of gross assets acquired in a publishing catalog intangible asset (weighted average useful life of 30 years).

Credit Facilities

On December 19, 2014, Reservoir Media Management, Inc. (“RMM”), a subsidiary of RHI, entered into a credit agreement (the “RMM Credit Agreement”) governing RMM’s secured term loan (the “Secured Loan”) and secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Line of Credit” and together with the Secured Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities were subsequently amended multiple times and were refinanced in July 2021 in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021 (the “Debt Refinancing”). On December 7, 2021, RMM entered into an amendment (the First Amendment”) to the RMM Credit Agreement.  The First Amendment amended the RMM Credit Agreement to increase RMM’s senior secured revolving credit facility from  $248,750,000 to an aggregate amount of $350,000,000 (the “New Senior Credit Facility”) and modified certain covenants (discussed below).

The New Senior Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 16, 2024. Borrowings under the New Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% or the sum of a LIBO rate plus a margin of 2.25%. RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the New Senior Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per annum. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, RHI, RMM and the other subsidiary guarantors are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the RMM Credit Agreement.

The RMM Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company, RHI, RMM and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, must comply with financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a total leverage ratio (net of up to $20,000,000 of certain cash balances) of no greater than 7.50:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period, and (iii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of 0.475, subject to certain adjustments. If RMM does not comply with the covenants in the RMM Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the New Senior Credit Facility.

The New Senior Credit Facility also includes an “accordion feature” that permits RMM to seek additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 that would increase the New Senior Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2021, the New Senior Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of $350,000,000.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of March 31, 2019, RMM had entered into 2 interest rate swaps, both of which expire on March 10, 2022, one with a notional amount of $40,228,152 and one for $59,325,388. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, RMM pays a fixed rate of 2.812% and 2.972% respectively, to the counterparty and receives a floating interest from the counterparty based on LIBOR with reference to notional amounts adjusted to match the original scheduled principal repayments pursuant to the indenture agreement. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps was $96,969,763 as of December 31, 2021 and $97,533,496 as of March 31, 2021.

In October 2019 and January 2020, RMM added two additional interest rate swaps in the amounts of $8,875,000 and $88,098,862, respectively. These swaps have an effective date of March 10, 2022, and expire in September 2024. RMM pays a fixed rate of 1.602% and 1.492%, respectively, and receives a floating interest from the counterparty based on LIBOR with reference to notional amounts adjusted to match the original scheduled principal repayments pursuant to the indenture agreement.  On December 1, 2021, RMM added an additional interest rate swap in the amount of $53,030,237, which has an effective date of December 31, 2021, and expires in September 2024.  RMM pays a fixed rate of 1.042% and receives a floating interest from the counterparty based on LIBOR with reference to notional amounts adjusted to match the original scheduled principal repayments pursuant to the indenture agreement.

Amounts due to this shareholder and other affiliated entities totaled $0 as of December 31, 2021 and $290,172 as of March 31, 2021.

The acquisition of Tommy Boy was financed using cash on hand and borrowings from related parties (the “Tommy Boy Related Party Notes”). The Tommy Boy Related Party Notes bore interest of 4.66% per year and were payable upon the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination and December 21, 2021. The Tommy Boy Related Party Notes and accrued interest were paid on the Closing Date. See Note 3, “Business Combination and PIPE Investment” for additional information with respect to the consummation of the Business Combination.

NOTE 12. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity reflect the reverse capitalization as of the Closing Date. Because RHI was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse capitalization with ROCC, all periods prior to the Closing Date reflect the balances and activity of RHI. The consolidated balances, share activity and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated statements of equity were retroactively adjusted, where applicable, using the Exchange Ratio. See Note 1, “Description of Business” and Note 3, “Business Combination and PIPE Investment” for additional information.

RHI Preferred Stock

Prior to the Business Combination, RHI had 16,175,406 shares of RHI Preferred Stock outstanding. The RHI Preferred Stock was convertible into an equal number of shares of RHI Common Stock at the option of the preferred shareholder and was mandatorily

converted into an equal number of shares of RHI Common Stock upon a qualified public offering of RHI Common Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of RHI Preferred Stock that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of RHI Common Stock pursuant to the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion. See Note 3, “Business Combination and PIPE Investment” for additional information with respect to the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion.

While outstanding, the RHI Preferred Stock participated in dividends declared on common shares, if any, on the basis as if the shares of RHI Preferred Stock were converted into shares of RHI Common Stock. The Company did not declare any dividends subsequent to the issuance of RHI Preferred Stock through the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 0 shares of RHI Preferred Stock outstanding.

RHI Common Stock Issuance

During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, RHI issued 1,045,617 shares of RHI Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $8,000,009 to existing shareholders to fund its publishing and recorded music catalog acquisitions. RHI incurred $27,000 of issuance costs in connection with this issuance, which RHI accounted for as a reduction in the proceeds from the RHI Common Stock.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s outstanding warrants included 5,750,000 publicly-traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”), which were issued during ROCC’s initial public offering on December 15, 2020, and 137,500 warrants sold in a private placement to ROCC’s sponsor (the “Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination and exchanged into warrants for shares of Common Stock. Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1 whole share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a registered holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending 3 business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the registered holders. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), and in accordance with its accounting policies, concluded they meet the criteria to be equity classified as they were determined to be indexed in the Company’s stock and meet the requirements for equity classification.

NOTE 13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Incentive Plan

On July 28, 2021, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the Reservoir Media, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”), which became effective on such date. 9,726,247 authorized shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan. In addition, pursuant to terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, options previously granted under the Reservoir Holdings, Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan”) to purchase shares of RHI Common Stock were converted into options to purchase 1,494,848 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2021 Incentive Plan.

Beginning on April 1, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2031, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Incentive Plan will automatically increase by the lesser of (a) 3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year on a fully diluted basis and assuming that all shares available for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan are issued and outstanding, or (b) such number of Shares determined by the Board. As of the effective date of the 2021 Incentive Plan, no further stock awards have been or will be granted under the Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan, and the Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan is no longer in effect.

In October 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 247,045 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $2.2 million to certain employees and executive officers under the 2021 Incentive Plan.  During the three months ended December 31, 2021, 69,386 of these RSUs vested, with another 114,088 expected to vest during the three months ending March 31, 2022. The remainder will vest in the following two years.  As of December 31, 2021, 7,984,354 shares of Common Stock were available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Incentive Plan.

The 2021 Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined by the Board, except that the exercise price per share of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the 2021 Incentive Plan typically expire 10 years after the date of the grant and generally have vesting conditions that the Compensation Committee will determine.

Stock Option Activity

As discussed in Note 3, “Business Combination and PIPE Investment,” each option to acquire a share of RHI Common Stock issued under the Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination became fully vested in accordance with the original terms of the awards. Each fully vested option was then converted into an option to purchase shares of Common Stock, with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the options and exercise price adjusted commensurately with the Exchange Ratio.

Share-based compensation expense totaled $1,208,685 ($931,705, net of taxes) and $1,425,838 ($1,099,096, net of taxes) during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.  Share-based compensation expense totaled $25,675 ($19,791, net of taxes) and $77,025 ($59,373, net of taxes) during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is classified as “Administration expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The increase in share-based compensation expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 reflects the accelerated vesting discussed above.

Interest Rate Risk

Fair Value MeasurementsThe Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its secured loan. As described in Note 8, “Loans,” the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its Credit Facilities.

The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps was a $1,677,576 liability as of December 31, 2021 and a $4,566,537 liability as of March 31, 2021. Fair value is defined asdetermined using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The change in the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

These tiers include:fair value of derivative instruments.

Financial instruments not described elsewhere include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, secured loans payable and borrowing under its line of credit. The carrying values of these instruments as of December 31, 2021 do not differ materially from their respective fair values due to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measureimmediate or short-term duration of these items or their bearing market-related rates of interest.

The fair value might be categorized within different levelsof amounts due from and owed to related parties are impracticable to determine due to the related party nature of such amounts and the lack of a readily determinable secondary market.

NOTE 16. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

On September 8, 2020, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against a consolidated subsidiary of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances,Company and certain prior owners (the “Prior Owners”) of certain music copyrights acquired by such consolidated subsidiary of the fair value measurement is categorizedCompany. The legal action asserts that in its entirety2000, the plaintiff entered into certain engagement letters (the “Engagement Letters”) with certain of the Prior Owners, which purportedly gave the plaintiff, among other things, an exclusive right to broker any future sale by the Prior Owners of the music copyrights acquired by such consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as well as a commission fee. Based on the Engagement Letters’ alleged grant of a security interest in such music copyrights, the plaintiff filed UCC financing statements and various notices of liens in the fair value hierarchy basedamount of $2,651,125 in the U.S. Copyright Office between 2000 and 2018. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Prior Owners breached the Engagement Letters by consummating a purchase agreement with a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in 2018 without involving the plaintiff; that a consolidated subsidiary of the Company tortiously interfered with the Engagement Letters; and that the plaintiff is permitted to foreclose on the lowest level input that is significantliens, including foreclosing on those music copyrights acquired by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company under the 2018 purchase agreement. Effective January 10, 2022, the plaintiff, the Prior Owners, and such consolidated subsidiary of the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release which required the Prior Owners to pay a settlement amount to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

plaintiff no later than February 1, 2022. The Prior Owners made such payment prior to the stipulated deadline. Accordingly, the liens granted to plaintiff have been automatically released and terminated. The consolidated subsidiary of the Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordancehas filed a notice of termination (executed by plaintiff) with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant dateU.S. Copyright Office and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reportedprocess of terminating all UCC financing statements naming the Prior Owners as debtor and the plaintiff as secured party.  Finally, the plaintiff is then required to file an agreed-upon notice of dismissal with prejudice with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Neither the Company nor its consolidated subsidiary named in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversionaction were required to pay any portion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversionsettlement amounts pursuant to such settlement agreement and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

The Company entered into a business combination marketing agreement with the representatives of the underwriters as advisors in connection with a Business Combination. The Company will pay the representatives of the underwriters a marketing fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 4.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. As a result, the representatives of the underwriters will not be entitled to such fee unless the Company consummates its initial business combination.

Merger Agreement and PIPE Investment

On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Reservoir. On July 28, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Reservoir and, as a result, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Reservoir survived the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, “Roth CH Acquisition II Co.” was renamed “Reservoir Media, Inc.”

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), each share of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Reservoir that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Reservoir (the “Reservoir Common Stock”) at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Reservoir’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation as in effect as of the Effective Time (the “Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock Conversion”). At the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Reservoir Preferred Stock Conversion):

each share of the Reservoir Common Stock (including the Reservoir Common Stock resulting from the Reservoir Preferred Stock Conversion) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares held in treasury immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) was canceled and converted into the right to receive 196.06562028646 shares of the Company Common Stock;
each share of the Reservoir Common Stock held in the treasury of Reservoir immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, was cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect thereto;
each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Reservoir Common Stock; and
each option to acquire a share of the Reservoir Common Stock pursuant to the Reservoir Holdings, Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (a “Reservoir Option”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the Company Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of the Reservoir Common Stock subject to such Reservoir Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the exchange ratio of 196.06562028646 at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Reservoir Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) exchange ratio of 196.06562028646.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 44,714,705 shares of the Company Common Stock was issued to the stockholders of Reservoir, resulting in the former stockholders of Reservoir owning approximately 69.8% of the Company following the consummation of the Business Combination, on an as exchanged basis, which constituted a majority interest in the Company following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 3,150,000 and 3,561,384 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 11,500,000 and 11,088,616 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

The Company determined the common stock subject to redemption to be equal to the redemption value of approximately $10.00 per share of common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon considering the impact of the PIPE Investment and the Subscription Agreements, it was concluded that the redemption value should include all the Public Shares resulting in the common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to $115,000,000. This resulted in a measurement adjustment to the initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

NOTE 8 – WARRANTS

Warrants — The Company will not issue fractional warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 120 days following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The warrants will expire five years from the closing of a Business Combination.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
at any time after the warrants become exercisable;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Price.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our accompanying June 30, 2021 condensed balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.

The Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing.

There were 0 transfersbetween Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Introduction

We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our business operations through Reservoir Media Management, Inc. (“RMM”) and RMM’s subsidiaries. Our activities are generally organized into two operating segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. Operations of the Music Publishing segment involve the acquisition of interests in music catalogs from which royalties are earned as well as signing songwriters to exclusive agreements, which gives us an interest in the future delivery of songs. Operations of the Recorded Music segment involve the acquisition of sound recording catalogs as well as the discovery and development of recording artists and the marketing, distribution, sale and licensing of the music catalogs.

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is organized as follows:

Business Overview––This section provides a general description of our business, as well as a discussion of factors that we believe are important in understanding our results of operations and comparability and in anticipating future trends.
Results of Operations––This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Business Segment Results––This section provides an analysis of our business segment results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources––This section provides an analysis of our cash flows for the nine months  December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as well as a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources as of December 31, 2021. The discussion of our liquidity and capital resources includes recent debt financings and a summary of the key debt covenant compliance measures under our debt agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies––This section identifies those accounting policies that are considered important to our results of operations and financial condition, require significant judgement and/or involve significant management estimates. Our significant accounting policies, including those considered to be critical accounting policies, are summarized in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Use of OIBDA

We evaluate our operating performance based on several factors, including our primary financial measure of operating income (loss) before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets (“OIBDA”). We consider OIBDA to be an important indicator of the operational strengths and performance of our businesses and believe this non-US GAAP (as defined below) measure provides useful information to investors because it removes the significant impact of amortization from our results of operations. However, a limitation of the use of OIBDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our businesses and other non-operating income (loss). Accordingly, OIBDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to us and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In addition, our definition of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of consolidated OIBDA to operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to us is provided in “—Results of Operations.”

Business Overview

We formedare an independent music company operating in music publishing and recorded music. We represent over 140,000 copyrights in our publishing business and over 36,000 master recordings in our recorded music business. Both of our business areas are populated with hit songs dating back to the early 1900s representing an array of artists across genre and geography. We classify our business into two fundamental operations: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. A brief description of each of those operations is presented below.

Music Publishing Operations

Music Publishing is an intellectual property business focused on generating revenue from uses of the musical composition itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and administering the creative output of a songwriter or engaging in those activities for other rightsholders, our Music Publishing business garners a share of the revenues generated from use of the musical compositions.

The operations of our Music Publishing business are conducted principally through RMM, our global music publishing company headquartered in New York City, with operations in multiple countries through various subsidiaries, affiliates and non-affiliated licensees and sub-publishers. We own or control rights to more than 140,000 musical compositions, including numerous pop hits, American standards, folk songs and motion picture and theatrical compositions. Assembled over many years, our current award-winning active songwriters exceed 100, while the catalog includes over 5,000 clients representing a diverse range of genres, including pop, rock, jazz, classical, country, R&B, hip-hop, rap, reggae, Latin, folk, blues, symphonic, soul, Broadway, techno, alternative and gospel.

Music Publishing revenues are derived from five main sources:

Performance––the rightsholder receives revenues if the musical composition is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio and cable and in retail locations (e.g., bars and restaurants), live performance at a concert or other venue (e.g., arena concerts and nightclubs), and performance of music in staged theatrical productions;
Digital––the rightsholder receives revenues with respect to musical compositions embodied in recordings distributed in streaming services, download services and other digital music services;

29

Table of Contents

Mechanical––the rightsholder receives revenues with respect to musical compositions embodied in recordings sold in any machine-readable format or configuration such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs;
Synchronization––the rightsholder receives revenues for the right to use the musical composition in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games; and
Other––the rightsholder receives revenues for use in sheet music and other uses.

The principal costs associated with our Music Publishing business are as follows:

Writer Royalties and Other Publishing Costs––the artist and repertoire (“A&R”) costs associated with (i) paying royalties to songwriters, co-publishers and other copyright holders in connection with income generated from the uses of their works and (ii) signing and developing songwriters; and
Administration Expenses––the costs associated with general overhead, and other administrative expenses, as well as selling and marketing.

Recorded Music Operations

Our Recorded Music business consists of three primary areas of sound recording ownership. First is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and licensing of newly created frontline sound recordings from Current Artists that we own and control. This is a new area of focus for us and does not yet produce significant revenue. The second is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and license of previously recorded and subsequently acquired Catalog recordings. The third is acquisition of full or partial interests in existing record labels, sound recording catalogs or income rights to a royalty stream associated with an established recording artist or producer contract in connection with existing sound recordings. Acquisition of these income participation interests are typically in connection with recordings that are owned, controlled, and marketed by other record labels.

Our Current Artist and Catalog recorded music businesses are both primarily handled by our Chrysalis Records label based in London and our Tommy Boy record label based in New York City. In the United States, we also manage some select Catalog recorded music under our Philly Groove Records and Reservoir Records labels. We also own income participation interests in recordings by The Isley Brothers, The Commodores, Wisin and Yandel, Alabama and Travis Tritt, and an interest in the Loud Records catalog containing recordings by the Wu Tang Clan. Our core Catalog includes recordings under the lawsChrysalis Records label by artists such as Sinéad O’Connor, The Specials, Generation X and The Waterboys, as well as recordings under the Tommy Boy record label by artists such as Coolio, House of Pain, Naughty By Nature, Everlast and Digital Underground.

Our Current Artist and Catalog recorded music distribution is handled by a network of distribution partners. Chrysalis Records Catalog releases are distributed through AWAL while our Chrysalis Records Current Artist releases are distributed through PIAS. Tommy Boy Music Catalog releases are distributed via our membership with MERLIN, AMPED and other partners.

Through our distribution network, our music is being sold in physical retail outlets as well as in physical form to online physical retailers, such as amazon.com, and distributed in digital form to an expanding universe of digital partners, including streaming services such as Amazon, Apple, Deezer, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and YouTube, radio services such as iHeart Radio and SiriusXM, and download services. We also license music digitally to fitness platforms such as Apple Fitness+, Equinox, Hydrow and Peloton and social media outlets, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Triller.

Recorded Music revenues are derived from four main sources:

Digital––the rightsholder receives revenues with respect to streaming and download services;
Physical––the rightsholder receives revenues with respect to sales of physical products such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs;
Synchronization––the rightsholder receives royalties or fees for the right to use sound recordings in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games; and

30

Table of Contents

Neighboring Rights––the rightsholder also receives royalties if sound recordings are performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio, and cable, and in public spaces such as shops, workplaces, restaurants, bars and clubs.

The principal costs associated with our Recorded Music business are as follows:

Artist Royalties and Other Recorded Costs––the A&R costs associated with (i) paying royalties to recording artists, producers, songwriters, other copyright holders and trade unions, (ii) signing and developing recording artists and (iii) creating master recordings in the studio; and product costs to manufacture, package and distribute products to wholesale and retail distribution outlets; and
Administration Expenses––the costs associated with general overhead and other administrative expenses as well as the costs associated with the promotion and marketing of recording artists and music, including costs to produce music videos for promotional purposes and artist tour support.

Business Combination

On July 28, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the State of Delaware on February 13, 2019. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similarpreviously announced business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to herein as our “Business Combination.(the “Business Combination”) by and among Roth CH Acquisition II Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCC

COVID-19 Pandemic

In January 2020, a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. The global pandemic and governmental responses thereto have disrupted physical and manufacturing supply chains and required the closures of physical retailers. Additionally, stay-at-home orders, limited indoor and outdoor gatherings and other restrictions have negatively affected our business in other ways, such as, making it impossible to hold live concert tours, delaying the release of new recordings and disrupting the production and release of motion pictures and television programs. However, the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated growth of other revenue streams such as fitness and interactive gaming (including augmented reality and virtual reality).

Factors Affecting Results of Operations and Comparability

Throughout our history, we have constantly acquired new assets and subsidiaries and signed new writers and more recently new recording artists. These investing activities have had the largest impact on our growth over time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 15, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, inclusive of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 275,000 Private Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $2,750,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option in full and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $115,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $1,654,977 in transaction costs, including $1,150,000 of underwriting fees and $504,977 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $572,174. Net loss of $1,096,238 was offset by fair value of change in warrant liability of $233,750 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $9,075. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $299,389 of cash for operating activities.Capital Resources

As of June 30,December 31, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account$225,277 thousand of $115,015,688 consistingdebt (net of securities held in a money market fund that invests in U.S Treasury securities with a maturity$6,369 thousand of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may bedeferred financing costs), $14,633 thousand of cash and equivalents and net debt of $210,644 thousand (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs).

We used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2021, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $124,393. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Insiders, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the proceeds from the Business Combination and PIPE Investment to repay $80,600 thousand of debt (amounts to related parties) associated with the Tommy Boy acquisition and $55,000 thousand of debt under the New Senior Credit Facility.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $14,414 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $17,332 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The primary driver of the $2,917 thousand decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was an increase in cash used for working capital, held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would beprimarily used for such repayment.

We do not believe we will needroyalty advances (net of recoupments) and to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligencelesser extent inventory and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.prepaid expenses, partially offset by higher earnings.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”),New Senior Credit Facility, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, wouldcould have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with each of the financial covenants under the New Senior Credit Facility.

Dividends

Our ability to pay dividends is restricted by covenants in the New Senior Credit Facility. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we did not pay any dividends to stockholders.

Summary

Management believes that funds generated from our operations and borrowings under the New Senior Credit Facility and available cash and equivalents will be sufficient to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. We also have additional borrowing capacity under the New Senior Credit Facility. However, our ability to continue to fund these items and to reduce debt may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other industry-specific factors such as the ability to control music piracy and the continued transition from physical to digital formats in the recorded music and music publishing industries. It could also be affected by the severity and duration of natural or man-made disasters, including pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We and our affiliates continue to evaluate opportunities to, from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity and other factors, seek to pay dividends or prepay outstanding debt or repurchase or retire our outstanding debt, privately negotiated purchases or otherwise. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material and may be funded from available cash or from additional borrowings or equity raises. In addition, from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity, and other factors, we may seek to refinance the New Senior Credit Facility with existing cash and/or with funds provided from additional borrowings.

Contractual and Other Obligations

As of December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations since March 31, 2021. See “RHI’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual and Other Obligations” in the Registration Statement for information regarding our contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

As of December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since March 31, 2021. See “RHI’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in the Registration Statement for information regarding our critical accounting policies. We believe that our accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of our operations. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. The future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position are unclear. However, we believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

FollowingWe are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the consummation of our Initial Public Offering,Exchange Act and are not required to provide the proceeds held in the trust account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.information otherwise required under this Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report,Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective atdue to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in the Registration Statement. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable assurance levelpossibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relate to (i) an ineffective control environment due to improper segregation of duties and accordingly, provided reasonable assurancea lack of qualified personnel to address certain complex accounting transactions, and (ii) an ineffective risk assessment process resulting in improper design of control activities to address certain risks of material misstatement. Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the information requiredcondensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with US GAAP.

We continue to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses described above by hiring additional qualified accounting personnel and further evolving our accounting processes. We will not be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarizedable to fully remediate these material weaknesses until these steps have been completed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.we have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There washave been no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ofthree months ended December 31, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all cases of error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, 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 Company have been detected.
