Content Assets

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are charged to expensepresently capitalized within construction-in-process and will be amortized as incurred. Major renewals, improvementsa group are included within Depreciation and additions are capitalized. UponAmortization within the sale or other dispositionCondensed Consolidated Statements of any propertyOperations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND FINITE-LIVED ASSETSFinite-lived Intangible Assets

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. DuringThere were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021, no impairment charge was recorded from operations for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets.2022.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge was recorded from operations for intangible assets.

Amortization expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The equity investment in Metaverse is in Hong Kong dollars and was translated into US dollars as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 at an exchange rate of 7.8 and 7.8 Hong Kong Dollars to 1 US Dollar, respectively. The fair value of this equity investment was measured by the quoted market price of Metaverse on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong at June 30, 2021. On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and as of June 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on a preliminary evaluated offer received from an independent third party to purchase our shares and trending assessment of market pricing and is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs. The adjustment to fair value of this investment resulted in a loss of $1.3    million and gain of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As the value of the investment in Metaverse is being determined by an offer to purchase the shares from an independent third party, the value of the investment may need to be reduced or fully written off should the offer be rescinded.

The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022:

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.  

ASSET ACQUISITIONS

An asset acquisition is an acquisition of an asset, or a group of assets, that does not meet the definition of a business. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by using the cost accumulation model whereby the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairment indicators.

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company reassessed goodwill impairment on its annual measurement

The Company has accounted for its investment in A Metaverse Company ("Metaverse") (SEHK: 1616) under the equity method of accounting as the Company can exert significant influence over Metaverse with its direct ownership and affiliation with the Company’s majority shareholders. The Company has also made an irrevocable election to apply the fair value option under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825-10, Financial Instruments, as it relates to its equity investment in Metaverse.

The Company previously used quoted trading price of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong to measure the investment's fair value. Following the halting of Metaverse stock trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on April 1, 2022, the Company valued our equity investment in Metaverse using a market approach and the investment is categorized as a Level 3 valuation based on unobservable inputs.

CINEVERSE CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company estimated the fair value of Metaverse based on the last known enterprise value, adjusting for trends in enterprise valuations and market capitalization for comparable companies. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value was $5.2 million.

The Company estimated the fair value of its earnout consideration using contractual inputs from the related business combination, which established specific fiscal year revenue growth, profitability and EBITDA targets. The Company utilizes the most up to date forecast to estimate the outcome against these targets to determine the ultimate estimated payout. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company accrued interest of $30 thousand and an increase in the estimated earnout payments by $52 thousand based on fiscal year 2024 estimated performance.

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

Cinema Equipment Business


Our Cinema Equipment Business consists of financing vehicles
The Company's Streaming and administrators for Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”)digital revenue pertains to theatrical exhibitorsits OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and for Systems installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).

We retain ownership of our Systems and the residual cash flowssubscription revenue related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.

For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do not retain ownership of the residual cash flowsCompany's streaming business and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupmentpartnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.

The Cinema Equipment Business also provides monitoring, data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment, in order to collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture studios and distributors and Alternative Content Fees (“ACFs”) from alternative content providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).

VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase I Deployment and to Phase II Deployment when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to us with respect to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term. One VPF is payable for every digital title initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period the title first plays for general audience viewing in a digital projector equipped movie theatre. The Phase 1 Deployment’s and Phase 2 Deployments performance obligations for revenue recognition are met at this time.

Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” The Company evaluated the constraining estimates related to the variable consideration, that it is not probable to conclude at this point in time that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.  

Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of DVD's. Podcast and other revenue primarily relates to the SystemsCompany's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. Other non-recurring revenue relates to such exhibitors. Cinedigm recognizes revenue once the customer takes possession of the Systems and Cinedigm received the sale proceeds. Such sales were originally contemplated as the conclusion of theCompany's legacy digital cinema deployment plan. Total system revenue was $1.2 million and $5.6 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.

Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in Phase II of the Cinema Equipment Business paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0 thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and ready for content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation fee revenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase II Deployment Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party, (See Note 3 - Other Interests) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services division manages and collects VPFs on behalf of exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.


The Cinema Equipment Business earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPF’s and the performance obligation is satisfied at that time the related VPF fees are due which is at the time the movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. The service fees are recognized as a point in time revenue when the corresponding VPF fees are due from the movie studios and distributors.

Content & Entertainment Business

CEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or “OTT Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Physical Revenue” or “Base Distribution Business”). Fees earned are typically a percentage based on the net amounts received from our customers. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. The Company’s performance obligations include the delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/free ad-supported streaming TV (“FAST”) on the digital platforms, and shipment of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform (the company’s digital content is considered functional IP), at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer. The Company considers the delivery of content through various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation. Physicaloperations, whose operations have run-off, still may generate non-recurring revenue from the sale of physical goods is recognized after deductingcinema assets or the reserves for sales returns and other allowances, which are accounted forrecognition of variable consideration as variable consideration.

Reserves for potential sales returns of physical goods and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

CEG also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature movies and alternative content. CEG’s distribution fee revenue and CEG’s participation in box office receipts are recognized atassociated uncertainty associated with the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. CEG has the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature movies’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.resolved.

Revenue earned by our CEG business from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.
which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and

which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in cost of goods solddirect operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.


Credit Losses

We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Our CEG segmentWe recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances is variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

We record accounts receivable, long-term in connection with activation fees thatDuring the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we earn from Systems deployments thatdid not recognize any credit losses as part of its ongoing operations or reversals of previously recorded provisions, and did not have extended payment terms.

NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Earnings per Share ("EPS")

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to common stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculatedare computed as follows:follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

8. INCOME TAXES

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions. We recorded an income tax benefit (expense)expense of approximately zero$20 thousand and $63 thousand$0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. Income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing.

We have not recorded tax benefits on our loss before income taxes because we have provided for a full valuation allowance that offsets potential deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards, reflecting our inability to use such loss carry forwards.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was (0.6%) and 2021 was zero   and negative 1.2%0%, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “estimates,” and similar words. Forward-looking statements represent, as of the date of this report, our judgment relating to, among other things, future results of operations, growth plans, sales, capital requirements and general industry and business conditions applicable to us. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEWBusiness Overview

Since our inception, we have playedCineverse is a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to our pioneering role in transitioning approximately 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have becomepremier streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business (i) across a leadingportfolio of owned and operated enthusiast streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) as a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of independentfeature films and television programs; and (iii) as a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content bothdistribution through organic growthsubscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and acquisitions.audio podcasts. We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, Televisa, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Scholastic, as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, Tubi and most video-on-demand (“VOD”) and free ad-supported television (“FAST”) streaming platforms,Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

We reportplayed a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape, playing a pioneering role in transitioning approximately 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, and at the end of our financial results in two primary segments as follows: (1)fiscal year 2023, the Company's cinema equipment business and (2) content and entertainment business (“Content & Entertainment” or “CEG”).concluded its active operations, as its contracts reached maturity. The Company no longer separately manages cinema equipment business segment consistsseparately, and with the run-off of its operations, no longer presents this part of the non-recourse, financing vehiclesbusiness as a separate segment. All prior period reporting within this report reflect this change.

Financial Condition and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout North America and Australia. It also provides fee-based support to over 1,082 movie screens as well as directly to exhibitors and other third-party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment operates in: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and (2) branded and curated over-the-top (“OTT”) digital network business providing entertainment channels and applications.Liquidity

Beginning in December 2015, certain of our cinema equipment began to reach the conclusion of their 10-year deployment payment period with certain distributors and, therefore, Virtual Print Fee (“VPF”) revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. The reduction in VPF revenue on cinema equipment business systems approximately coincided with the conclusion of certain of our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, the reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations partially offset the reduced VPF revenue since November 2017.

Under the terms of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors. Such sales were as originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan.

We are structured so that our cinema equipment business segment operates independently from our Content & Entertainment business. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $0.0 million of non-recourse outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our cinema equipment business. We have approximately $0.0 million of outstanding debt principal, as of June 30, 2022 that is attributable to our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.

The agreement included the sale in tranches of a total of 2,369 cinematic projectors starting in March 2021 throughout JanuaryJuly 2023 for a total cash consideration of $10.8 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue for $10.3 million. A portion of the total proceeds was utilized to pay off the remaining Prospect note payable.

Equity Investment in a Related Party

On February 14, 2020, the Company acquired an approximately 11.5% interest in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a leading publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. The Company acquired such interest as a strategic investment and in a private transaction from a shareholder of Metaverse that is related to our major shareholder. Our major shareholder also maintains a significant beneficial interest ownership in Metaverse. Upon consummation of the transaction on February 14, 2020, the Company recorded an initial investment of approximately $25.1 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s common stock of $11.2 million, valued as of the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital.$0.5 thousand dollars.

On April 10, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 15% interest in Metaverse in a private transaction from shareholders of Metaverse that are affiliated with the major shareholder of the Company. The Company recorded an additional equity investment of approximately $28.2 million, which is the fair market value of the Metaverse shares on the transaction date on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, in exchange for the Company’s common stock of $11.0 million, valued at the date of the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company. The difference in the value of shares received in Metaverse and shares issued by the Company is deemed as contributed capital and recorded in additional paid-in capital. This transaction was also recorded as an equity investment in Metaverse.

The Company has accounted for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company can exert significant influence over Metaverse with its direct ownership and affiliation with the Company’s majority shareholders. The Company has made an irrevocable election to apply the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, as it relates to its equity investment in Metaverse.


On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace, but with the trading of the shares being halted the Company needed to reassess the fair value level of the investment. Without an active market where the shares are being traded, the investment no longer qualifies as a level 1. As of June 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on a evaluated offer received from an independent third party to purchase our shares and trending assessment of market pricing and is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs.  As the value of the investment in Metaverse is being determined by an offer to purchase the shares from an independent third party, the value of the investment may need to be reduced or fully written off should the offer be rescinded.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that the following accountingthese policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our boardBoard of directors.Directors.

The Company's Streaming and Digital revenue for the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warrantedthree months ended June 30, 2023 increased by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known6% as impairment indicators.

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relatingcompared to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test.

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.


During the three months ended June 30, 2022, as the Company continues to see the benefits from its acquisitions which have contributed value-accretive libraries, distribution platforms and 2021, no impairment chargetechnologies, such as Screambox, whose performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 exceeded the first quarter of fiscal 2023 by approximately $1.0 million, as it continued to benefit from the success of Terrifier 2.

The Company's $1.0 million decline in Base Distribution revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was recordedprimarily driven by a decline in DVD-related sales.

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Following the completion of cost recoupment and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Adoptionfirst quarter of ASU Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

We determine revenue recognition by:

identifying the contract, or contracts, with the customer;

identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

determining the transaction price;

allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

We recognize revenuefiscal 2023 to $0.3 million in the amount that reflectsfirst quarter of fiscal 2024. During the consideration we expect to receive in exchange forquarter ended June 30, 2023, the services provided, salesCompany also recognized $1 million of physical products (DVD’s and Blu-ray Discs) or when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform or available on the point-of-sale for transactional and video on demand services which is when the control of the promised products and services is transferred to our customers and our performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied. Revenues that might be subject to various taxes are recorded net of transaction taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales value-added taxes and other similar taxes.

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30 to 90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less. We have in the past entered into arrangements in connection with activation fees due from our System deployments that had extended payment terms. The outstanding balances on these arrangements are insignificant and hence the impact of significant financing would be insignificant.

Cinema Equipment Business

Our Cinema Equipment Business consists of financing vehicles and administrators for 434 Systems installed nationwide in our first deployment phase (“Phase I Deployment”) to theatrical exhibitors and for 648 Systems installed domestically and internationally in our second deployment phase (“Phase II Deployment”).

We retain ownership of our Systems and the residual cash flows related to the Systems in Phase I Deployment after the end of the 10-year deployment payment period.


For certain Phase II Deployment Systems, we do not retain ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment in Phase II Deployment after the completion of cost recoupment and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.

The Cinema Equipment Business also provides monitoring, data collection, serial data verification and management services to this segment, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment, in order to collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture studios and distributors and Alternative Content Fees (“ACFs”) from alternative content providers, and to distribute those fees to theatrical exhibitors (collectively, “Services”).

VPFs are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase I Deployment and to Phase II Deployment when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase I Deployment based on a defined fee schedule until the end of the VPF term. One VPF is payable for every digital title initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period the title first plays for general audience viewing in a digital projector equipped movie theatre. The Phase 1 Deployment’s and Phase 2 Deployments performance obligations for revenue recognition are met at this time.

Phase II Deployment’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase II Deployment may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase II Deployment have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” The Company evaluated the constraining estimates related to the variable consideration i.e.,following the one-time bonus and determined that it is not probable to conclude at this point in time that a significant reversal in the amountresolution of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the underlying revenue related to its cinema equipment, as compared to $0 variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Underrecognized in the termsfirst quarter of our standard cinema equipment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through the end of the term of the licensing agreement, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreementfiscal year 2023.

The decrease in Direct Operating Expenses for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair market value. As permitted by these agreements, we typically pursue the sale of the Systems to such exhibitors. Cinedigm recognizes revenue once the customer takes possession of the Systems and Cinedigm received the sale proceeds. Such sales were originally contemplated as the conclusion of the digital cinema deployment plan. Total system revenue was $1.2 million and $5.6 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.

Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in Phase II2023 was indicative of the Cinema Equipment Business paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0 thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and ready for content, as we had no further obligationscontinued integration efforts with respect to the customer after that timeCompany's acquisitions during fiscal year 2022, such as DMR, FoundationTV, and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation fee revenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase II Deployment Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party, (See Note 3 – Other Interests) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services division manages and collects VPFs on behalf of exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.Bloody Disgusting.

The Cinema Equipment Business earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is related to the collection and remittance of the VPFs and the performance obligation is satisfied at that time the related VPF fees are due which is at the time the movies are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. The service fees are recognized as a point in time revenue when the corresponding VPF fees are due from the movie studios and distributors.


Content & Entertainment Business

CEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or “OTT Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Physical Revenue” or “Base Distribution Business”). Fees earned are typically a percentage based on the net amounts received from our customers. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. The Company’s performance obligations include the delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/free ad-supported streaming TV (“FAST”) on the digital platforms, and shipment of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer. The Company considers the delivery of content through various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation. Physical revenue is recognized after deducting the reserves for sales returns and other allowances, which are accounted for as variable consideration.

Physical goods reserved for sales returns and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

CEG also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature movies and alternative content. CEG’s distribution fee revenue and CEG’s participation in box office receipts are recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. CEG has the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature movies’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.

Principal Agent Considerations

We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and

which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in cost of goods sold because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Our CEG segment recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances is variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

We record accounts receivable, long-term in connection with activation fees that we earn from Systems deployments that have extended payment terms. Such accounts receivable are discounted to their present value at prevailing market rates.


Contract Liabilities

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, even if amounts are refundable.

Deferred revenue pertaining to our Content & Entertainment Business includes amounts related to the sale of DVDs with future release dates.

Deferred revenue relating to our Cinema Equipment Business pertains to revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions that are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period. It also includes unamortized balances in connection with activation fees due from the Systems deployments that have extended payment terms.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances, as of June 30, 2022 was $0.4 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the additions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

Participations and royalties payable

When we use third parties to distribute company owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us by such studios or content producers.

ASSET ACQUISITIONS

An asset acquisition is an acquisition of an asset, or a group of assets, that does not meet the definition of a business as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single or group of similar, identifiable assets. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by using the cost accumulation model whereby the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Determining and valuing intangible assets requires judgment.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates.

ASC 805 defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. ASC 805 also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.

Changes in fair value in Metaverse

On April 1, 2022, trading of Metaverse’s ordinary shares was halted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This investment was previously a level 1 investment as the shares were being actively traded in a marketplace, but with the trading of the shares being halted the Company needed to reassess the fair value level of the investment. Without an active market where the shares are being traded, the investment no longer qualifies as a level 1. As of June 30, 2022, Metaverse’s stock valuation is based on an evaluated offer receivedby $0.2 million from an independent third party to purchase our shares and trending assessment of market pricing and is categorized as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs.

Income Tax Benefit

We recorded income tax expense of $0   for the three months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $63 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our effective tax rate$0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of a higher outstanding debt balance and 2021 was zerohigher interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses,expense, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (including the results of Cinema Equipment Business segment) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $7.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA from our Cinema Equipment Business segment decreased primarily due to a decrease in systems sales and eligible VPF systems. Adjusted EBITDA from the Content & Entertainment Business and Corporate decreased by $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase of $2.8 million in direct operating expense and $3.1 million higher selling, general and administrative expenses, versus previous year despite a $3.4 million increase in Streaming digital revenue, adding channels, and acquisitions, and $0.4 million  in one-time acquisition cost adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including itsour stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing our performance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net lossincome (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from operations or net loss from continuing operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents balances of $11.5 million.

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances of $14.4 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022,2023, net cash provided byused in operating activities is primarily driven by incomeloss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, recovery for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, gainincluding capitalized content spend and other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company decreased accounts payable by $4.7 million to vendors. Operating cash flows are typically seasonally lower during the first two fiscal quarters and higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season. In addition, we made net advances of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as part of the advances we make on extinguishmenttheatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by a net loss, after taking into account the exclusion of note payable,non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, recovery for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, including other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased accounts payable by $5.4$5.6 million to vendors. Accounts receivable increaseddecreased due to growth in streaming and acquisitions of Bloody Disgusting, Screambox and DMR. Cash received from VPFs decreased from the previous period in alignment with thea decrease in eligible VPF systems. Changes in accounts receivable from our studio customers largely impact cash flows from operating activities and vary based onrevenue as a result of the seasonality of movie release schedules by the major studios. Operating cash flows from CEG are typically higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season, and seasonally lower in the other two quarters. In addition, we make advances on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months.


For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by income from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, provision for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, including other changes in working capital. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid down $8.1 million to vendors at both CEG and Corporate. Cash received from VPFs declined from the previous period as Phase I Deployment Systems in our Cinema Equipment Business reached the conclusion of their deployment payment periods with certain major studios. Changes in accounts receivable from our studio customers largely impact cash flows from operating activities and vary based on the seasonality of movie release schedules by the major studios. This was further impacted by the decrease in eligible VPF systems. Because our digital cinema business earns a VPF when a movie is first played on a system, the reduction of eligible VPF systems resulted in reduced revenues. Operating cash flows from CEG are typically higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season, and lower in the other two quarters as we pay royalties on such revenues. In addition, we make advances on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 revenues from the sale of digital projections Systems was $1.2 million.amounts due.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows provided by financing activities consisted of payments of approximately $0.3 million in notes payable.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows used in financing activities consisted of payments of approximately $4.8 million in notes payable and $1.6 million in Credit Facility repayments.

We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, marketing and promotional activities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. We feel we are adequately financed for at least the next twelve months; however, we may need to raise additional capital for working capital as deemed necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Seasonality

Revenues from our Cinema Equipment Business derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the winter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. While CEG benefits from the winter holiday season, we believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition, is becoming less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.


Off-balance sheet arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than as discussed in Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Note 3 - Other Interests to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we hold a 100% equity interest in CDF2 Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Impact of Inflation

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

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Definition and Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief OperatingFinancial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2022.2023. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, on a timely basis, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures due to the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022.2023.

Previously Reported Material Weakness on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In the 2022 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 1, 2022, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022. In the evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in internal controls related to our financial close and reporting process and information and communication controls. Management also concluded that we did not have a sufficient complement of corporate personnel with appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge and experience commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters completely and accurately. As a result of this evaluation, management extensively used outside consultants who possessed the appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge.


Remediation. Following identification of this control deficiency, management is implementing modifications to better ensure that the Company has appropriate and timely reviews on all financial reporting analysis. The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until these modifications are implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of time, tested, and concluded by management to be designed and operating effectively. In addition, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify our remediation plan. Management will test and evaluate the implementation of these modifications to ascertain whether they are designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that they will prevent or detect a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements. 

The steps we took to address the deficiencies identified included: 

we hired a new Chief Financial Officer;

we hired a new Executive Vice-President (“EVP”) Accounting;

we have engaged in efforts to restructure accounting processes and revise organizational structures to enhance accurate accounting and appropriate financial reporting;

we have hired additional experienced accounting personnel in the corporate office to enhance the application of accounting standards and our financial closing and reporting process;

we have engaged external advisors to provide financial accounting and reporting assistance;

we will enhance information and communication processes through information technology solutions to ensure that information needed for financial reporting is accurate, complete, relevant and reliable, and communicated in a timely manner; and

we have engaged external advisors to evaluate and document the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and assist with the remediation and implementation of our internal control function.

As noted above, we believe that, as a result of management’s in-depth review of its accounting processes, and the additional procedures management has implemented, there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this Form 10-Q and, to the best of our knowledge, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. 

We and our Board treat the controls surrounding, and the integrity of, our financial statements with the utmost priority. Management is committed to the planning and implementation of remediation efforts to address control deficiencies and any other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts are intended to both address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and we believe the measures described above will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness we have identified. Our remediation efforts have begun, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to strengthen controls or to modify the remediation plan described above, which may require additional implementation time. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes other than our remediation efforts discussed above, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarterthree months ended June 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes toThe following risk factor supplements the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.2023.

The Company's share price has decreased since the end of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. If this share price decline is sustained, the Company may be required to test for goodwill impairment before the performance of its required annual testing and if so, may be at risk of recognizing expenses related to goodwill impairment.

On March 31, 2023, the Company's share price was $8.40 and since has declined to a share price of $1.38 as of August 7, 2023. Under the accounting standard, ASC 350-20,Goodwill a Company is required to test for impairment on an annual basis, but in the presence of a triggering event, may need to test during an interim period. Under ASC 350, Goodwill, a sustained decline in share price represents a triggering event which would require the Company to test for impairment. If the Company is required to perform this analysis, there may be a risk that the Company incurs expenses related to goodwill impairment.
