	1. Business and basis of presentation
	RealD Inc. is a leading global licensor of 3D and other visual technologies. Except where specifically noted or the context otherwise requires, the use of terms such as the “Company” or “RealD” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 refers to RealD Inc. and its subsidiaries.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the three months ended June 30, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in comprehensive financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any subsequent quarter, the full fiscal year or any future periods. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RealD, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. RealD does not have any interests in variable interest entities. For consolidated subsidiaries that are not wholly owned but are majority owned, the subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and operating results are included in their entirety in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in those assets, liabilities, and operations are reflected as non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under equity and condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	2. Summary of significant accounting policies
	Accounting period
	The Company’s fiscal year consists of four 3-month periods for a total of 12 calendar months and will end on March 31, 2015.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to the following:
		·		licensing revenue terms applied to the timing and number of motion picture exhibitor consumer admissions;
		·		domestic eyewear product revenue terms applied to when the usage occurs and the amount of usage;
		·		impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets and tangible assets, including determination of relevant reporting units and long-lived asset groups;
		·		useful lives of intangible assets and tangible assets;
		·		timing and amount recognized for performance-based compensation, including bonus and certain restricted share units, based on projections of Company performance achievement;
		·		the impact of potential future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements; and
		·		assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of equity-based awards for stock-based compensation.

	Earnings (loss) per share of common stock
	Basic income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method.
	The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
			Three months ended
			June 30,			June 30,
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)		2014			2013
	Numerator:
	Net income (loss)		$	5,501		$	-1,536
	Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest		-			2
	Net income (loss) attributable to RealD Inc. common stockholders		$	5,501		$	-1,534
	Denominator:
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic)		49,671			49,588
	Effect of dilutive securities		3,099			–
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted)		52,770			49,588
	Earnings (loss) per common share:
	Basic		$	0.11		$	-0.03
	Diluted		$	0.10		$	-0.03
	The weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
			Three months ended
			June 30,		June 30,
	(in thousands)		2014		2013
	Options, employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock		9,394		9,871
	Due to the loss attributable to the Company’s common stockholders in the three months ended June 30, 2013, basic loss per share of common stock and diluted loss per share of common stock are the same because the effect of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
	Derivative instruments
	The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in other current assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are reported as a component of other income or loss on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For all periods presented, none of the Company’s derivative instruments were designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not use foreign currency option or foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
	The Company purchases foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities of nine months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted payments and expenses denominated in certain foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2014, RealD had no outstanding forward contracts. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were not significant. For both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the net loss related to the change in fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was not significant. Foreign currency master agreements typically allow the netting of receivables and payables. The Company had no gross receivable balances or gross payable balances as of June 30, 2014 and any such amounts were not significant as of March 31, 2014.
	Accounts receivable
	Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, value-added tax (“VAT”) receivables and other receivables. The Company provides credit to its customers, who are primarily in the movie production and exhibition businesses. The Company provides for the estimated accounts receivable that will not be collected. These estimates are based on an analysis of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customers’ payment terms and their economic condition. Collection of accounts receivable may be affected by changes in economic or other industry conditions and may, accordingly, impact the Company’s overall credit risk. The allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits totaled $4.6 million and $3.2 million as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
	Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear
	Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear represent RealD eyewear and are substantially all finished goods. Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories and deferred costs-eyewear for net realizable value. The Company also evaluates inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. These evaluations include analyses of expected future average selling prices, projections of future demand and technology changes. In order to state inventories at the lower of cost or market, RealD maintains reserves against such inventories. If the Company’s analyses indicate that market is lower than cost, a write-down of inventories is recorded in cost of revenue in the period the loss is identified. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the inventory reserve as a result of the Company’s net realizable value analyses was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
	Domestically, the Company provides RealD eyewear free of charge to motion picture exhibitors and then receives a fee from the motion picture studios for the usage of RealD eyewear by the motion picture exhibitors’ consumers. Eyewear shipped from inventory is deferred on the shipment date and then amortized to cost of product revenue according to assumptions related to eyewear usage by consumers.
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, cinema systems, digital projectors and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors or circumstances that could indicate the occurrence of such events include current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing operating or cash flow losses, or incurring costs in excess of amounts originally expected to acquire or construct an asset. If the asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
	For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, impairment charges for all impaired RealD Cinema Systems charged to cost of revenue totaled $1.0 million, respectively.
	Revenue recognition
	The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the license of RealD Cinema Systems and the product sale of RealD eyewear. RealD evaluates revenue recognition for transactions using the criteria set forth by the Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases, and Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The revenue recognition guidance states that revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue net of estimated allowances.
	License revenue
	License revenue, net of allowances, is accounted for as an operating lease. License revenue is primarily derived under per-admission, periodic fixed fee, or per-motion picture basis with motion picture exhibitors. Amounts received up front, less estimated allowances, are deferred and recognized over the lease term using the straight-line method. Additional lease payments that are contingent upon future events outside the Company’s control, including those related to admission and usage, are recognized as revenues when the contingency is resolved and the Company has no more obligations to our customers specific to the contingent payment received. Certain of the Company’s license revenue from leasing RealD Cinema Systems is earned upon admission by the motion picture exhibitor’s consumers. The Company’s licensees, however, do not report and pay for such license revenue until after the admission has occurred, which may be received subsequent to the Company’s fiscal period end. The Company estimates and records licensing revenue related to motion picture exhibitor consumer admissions in the quarter in which the admission occurs, but only when reasonable estimates of such amounts can be made. The Company determines that there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement upon the execution of a license agreement or upon the receipt of a licensee’s admissions report. Revenue is deemed fixed or determinable upon receipt of a licensee’s admissions report or evidence of a RealD box office showing by licensee. The Company determines collectability based on an evaluation of the licensee’s recent payment history and evaluation of the respective customer’s credit-standing.
	Product revenue
	The Company recognizes product revenue, net of allowances, when title and risk of loss have passed and when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the payment is fixed or determinable, and collectability of payment is reasonably assured. In the United States and Canada, certain of the Company’s product revenue from the sale of RealD eyewear is earned upon admission and usage by the motion picture exhibitor’s consumers. The Company’s customers, however, do not report admission or usage information until after the admission and usage has occurred, and such information may be received subsequent to the Company’s fiscal period end. Accordingly, the Company estimates and records such product revenue in the quarter in which the admission and usage occurs, but only when reasonable estimates of such amounts can be made.
	Comprehensive income (loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The only component of other comprehensive income or loss is unrealized foreign currency translation gains (losses). There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
	Shipping and handling costs
	Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. RealD’s shipping and handling costs consists primarily of packaging and transportation charges and are recorded in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs recognized in cost of revenue were $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, effective for RealD as of April 1, 2017 (the first quarter of fiscal year 2018). The new standard will be implemented retrospectively with the Company choosing to either restate prior periods or recognize the cumulative effect. The new Topic 606 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Topic 840 leases. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to provide guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

	4. 2014 Cost reduction plan
	On November 12, 2013, the Company announced a plan to reduce the overall costs of its global operations (the “2014 Cost Reduction Plan”) while continuing to make significant research and development investments and build the framework for the Company’s future growth. The 2014 Cost Reduction Plan was primarily a response to the anticipated impact on the Company’s financial results and operations caused by changes in the 3D box office performance of certain motion pictures due to perceived changes in consumer preference and the fact that the Company’s 3D cinema business is maturing in many markets like the United States in which the Company expected equipment installations to begin to slow. As a result of the 2014 Cost Reduction Plan, the Company reduced its staff by approximately 20%, rescoped and made other changes to certain research and development projects, reduced certain non-personnel related general and administrative expenses and streamlined certain manufacturing operations. These actions were intended to rationalize the further expansion of the Company’s global cinema platform by focusing on emerging growth markets and higher performing circuits, streamlining the Company’s manufacturing facilities to achieve cost efficiencies while meeting the future commercial demands of the Company’s customers and focusing the Company’s research and development efforts on technologies that would enable the Company to expand its visual technology product offerings.
	The Company accounts for the 2014 Cost Reduction Plan in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), including ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, ASC 712 Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). As a result of the 2014 Cost Reduction Plan’s workforce reduction, the Company incurred termination and related charges totaling approximately $4.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the Company expects to incur approximately $0.6 million during the current fiscal year in other charges principally related to the accrual of losses for a lease for certain manufacturing facilities that will no longer be used in the Company’s operations. Therefore, the total charges associated with the 2014 Cost Reduction Plan currently are estimated to be approximately $5.3 to $5.9 million, of which $4.8 million has been incurred through June 30, 2014. The following table summarizes the charges resulting from implementation of the 2014 Cost Reduction Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2014:

		·		a revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) in a maximum amount not to exceed $50 million (the “Revolving Facility”), which matures on June 26, 2017. In addition, the Company may request up to an additional $25 million of commitments under the Revolving Facility (such that the maximum amount of all commitments under the Revolving Facility may not exceed $75 million), subject to the satisfaction of certain financial and other conditions and subject to obtaining such commitments; and
		·		a delayed draw term loan facility in a maximum amount not to exceed $50 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), which matures on June 26, 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company borrowed $37.3 million under the Term Loan Facility, resulting in $12.7 million being available for future draws through June 26, 2016.
	Debt issuance costs related to the completion of the 2014 Credit Agreement totaled $0.9 million and were added to the $0.3 million deferred charge remaining on the April 19, 2012 credit agreement. All these issuance costs are being amortized over the contractual life of the agreement and recorded as interest expense.
	Loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% per year or the base rate (the highest of (i) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) City National’s prime rate or (iii) the Eurocurrency rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1.00%) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per year. The applicable margin for loans varies depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. Under the 2014 Credit Agreement, the Company is charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility. The fee for the unused Revolving Facility varies between 0.250% and 0.375% per year depending on the percentage of the Revolving Facility in use. The fee for the unused Term Loan Facility is 0.375% of the unused commitment. Additionally, the Company is charged a letter of credit fee between 2.25% to 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The Company also pays customary fronting fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the 2014 Credit Agreement. There were no letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.
	The obligations under the 2014 Credit Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries, ColorLink Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ColorLink”), Stereographics Corporation, a California corporation (“Stereographics”), and RealD DDMG Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the Company, ColorLink and Stereographics, the “Loan Parties”). The obligations under the 2014 Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Loan Parties’ tangible and intangible assets.
	As of June 30, 2014, $50 million was available under the Revolving Facility and $12.7 million was available under the Term Loan Facility, a total of $62.7 million available under the 2014 Credit Agreement.
	As of June 30, 2014, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility. On June 30, 2014, the first quarterly term loan installment of $1.9 million was made on the Term Loan Facility. The term loan outstanding balance of $35.4 million at June 30, 2014 is to be repaid in 15 quarterly installments of $1.9 million through March 31, 2018 and the remaining $7.5 million principal on June 26, 2018.  The current and non-current portions of the Credit Agreement due as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Total		$	35,435
	As of June 30, 2014, borrowings outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement bear interest at 2.69%. As of March 31, 2014, there were $36.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement which bore interest at 2.88%. Interest expense related to our borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
	Under the 2014 Credit Agreement, RealD’s business is subject to certain limitations, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain merger and consolidation transactions, and sell its assets other than in the ordinary course of business. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2014, RealD was in compliance with all financial covenants in our Credit Agreement. If the Company fails to comply with any of the covenants or if any other event of default, as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement, should occur, the bank lenders could elect to prevent the Company from borrowing and declare the indebtedness to be immediately due and payable.
	The 2014 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default applicable to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, including, among other things the occurrence of any change of control. If one or more events of default occurs and continues beyond any applicable cure period, City National may, with the consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the loans and commitments under the facilities, or will, at the request of such Lenders, terminate the commitments of the Lenders to make further loans and declare all of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the 2014 Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

	6. Commitments and contingencies
	Indemnities and commitments
	During the ordinary course of business, the Company makes certain indemnities and commitments under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities of certain customers and licensees of our technologies, and indemnities to the Company’s directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of California. The duration of these indemnities and commitments varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and commitments do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities and commitments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is reasonably probable and estimable.
	The Company has entered into contracts with certain of its vendors. Future obligations under such contracts totaled $6.3 million at June 30, 2014 and include revolving 90-day supply commitments. Many of the contracts contain cancellation penalty provisions requiring payment of up to 20.0% of the unused contract.
	Contingencies and assessments
	The Company is subject to various loss contingencies and assessments arising in the course of its business, some of which relate to litigation, claims, property taxes and sales and use tax or goods and services tax assessments. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies and assessments. An estimated loss contingency or assessment is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted. Based on the information presently available, including discussion with counsel and other consultants, management believes that resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Share-based compensation	'
Share-based compensation	'
	7. Share-based compensation
	The Company accounts for share-based payment awards granted to employees and directors by recording compensation expense based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Share-based awards are attributed to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. The Company determines the value of each option award that contains a market condition using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, while all other option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model as permitted under ASC 718,  Compensation — Stock Compensation. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent the Company’s best estimates. The Company’s estimates of the fair values of stock options granted and the resulting amounts of share-based compensation recognized may be impacted by certain variables including stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option modifications, estimates of forfeitures, and the related income tax impact.
	Share-based compensation expense for all share-based arrangements for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
		Three months ended
		June 30,		June 30,
	(in thousands)	2014		2013

	Selling and marketing	927		1,322
	General and administrative	2,227		2,317
	Total	$	3,971	$	4,645
	Stock options granted generally vest over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares vesting after one year and monthly vesting thereafter. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 0.4 million stock options at a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.21 per share.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, share-based compensation expense related to stock options and the Company’s employee stock purchase plan was $2.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
	Certain of the Company’s management-level employees receive performance stock options, which gives the recipient the right to receive common stock that is contingent upon achievement of specified pre-established performance goals over the performance period, which is generally three years subject to the recipient’s continued service with us. The performance goals for the performance stock options are based on the measurement of the Company’s total stockholder return, on a percentile basis, compared to a comparable group of companies. Depending on the outcome of the performance goals, the recipient may ultimately earn performance stock options equal to or less than the number of performance stock options granted. In June 2013, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s fiscal year 2013 stock option grant was amended to retroactively change the vesting schedule of the stock option so that it now vests based upon the achievement of performance goals rather than based solely upon Mr. Lewis’ continued service with the Company. The performance goal is based on the measurement of the Company’s total stockholder return, on a percentile basis, compared to a comparable group of companies. The performance period for this performance stock option is between three and five years. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, share-based compensation expense related to performance stock options was $0 and $0.5 million, respectively.
	Certain of the Company’s management-level employees also receive performance stock units, which gives the recipient the right to receive common stock that is contingent upon achievement of specific pre-established performance goals over the performance period, which is generally two years subject to the recipient’s continued service with us. The performance goals are based on achieving certain levels of total licensing revenue over the performance period.  Depending on the outcome of the performance goals, the recipient may ultimately earn performance stock units between 0% and 200% of the number of performance stock units granted. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, share-based compensation related to performance stock units was $0.1 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, share-based compensation related to performance stock units was $0.1 million.
	Certain of the Company’s employees, including certain management level employees, receive time-based restricted stock units. These restricted stock units vest over one to three years based upon a recipient’s continued service with us. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 1.0 million restricted stock units at a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.42 per restricted stock unit. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

	8. Income taxes
	The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is due primarily to increased revenues in foreign jurisdictions where the Company is subject to foreign income taxes. The Company has net operating losses that may potentially be offset against future domestic earnings. The Company files federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company’s United States federal and state returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdictions for all years since inception.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company has determined based on the weight of the available evidence, both positive and negative, to provide for a valuation allowance against substantially all of the net deferred tax assets. The current deferred tax assets not reserved for by the valuation allowance are those in foreign jurisdictions or amounts that may be carried back in future years. If there is a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the period when such change occurs.

	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to the following:
		·		licensing revenue terms applied to the timing and number of motion picture exhibitor consumer admissions;
		·		domestic eyewear product revenue terms applied to when the usage occurs and the amount of usage;
		·		impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets and tangible assets, including determination of relevant reporting units and long-lived asset groups;
		·		useful lives of intangible assets and tangible assets;
		·		timing and amount recognized for performance-based compensation, including bonus and certain restricted share units, based on projections of Company performance achievement;
		·		the impact of potential future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements; and
		·		assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of equity-based awards for stock-based compensation.
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock	'
	Earnings (loss) per share of common stock
	Basic income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method.
	The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
			Three months ended
			June 30,			June 30,
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)		2014			2013
	Numerator:
	Net income (loss)		$	5,501		$	-1,536

	Net income (loss) attributable to RealD Inc. common stockholders		$	5,501		$	-1,534
	Denominator:

	Effect of dilutive securities		3,099			–
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted)		52,770			49,588
	Earnings (loss) per common share:
	Basic		$	0.11		$	-0.03
	Diluted		$	0.10		$	-0.03
	The weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
			Three months ended
			June 30,		June 30,
	(in thousands)		2014		2013
	Options, employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock		9,394		9,871
	Due to the loss attributable to the Company’s common stockholders in the three months ended June 30, 2013, basic loss per share of common stock and diluted loss per share of common stock are the same because the effect of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
Derivative instruments	'
	Derivative instruments
	The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in other current assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are reported as a component of other income or loss on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For all periods presented, none of the Company’s derivative instruments were designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not use foreign currency option or foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
	The Company purchases foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities of nine months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted payments and expenses denominated in certain foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2014, RealD had no outstanding forward contracts. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were not significant. For both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the net loss related to the change in fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was not significant. Foreign currency master agreements typically allow the netting of receivables and payables. The Company had no gross receivable balances or gross payable balances as of June 30, 2014 and any such amounts were not significant as of March 31, 2014.
Accounts receivable	'
	Accounts receivable
	Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, value-added tax (“VAT”) receivables and other receivables. The Company provides credit to its customers, who are primarily in the movie production and exhibition businesses. The Company provides for the estimated accounts receivable that will not be collected. These estimates are based on an analysis of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customers’ payment terms and their economic condition. Collection of accounts receivable may be affected by changes in economic or other industry conditions and may, accordingly, impact the Company’s overall credit risk. The allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits totaled $4.6 million and $3.2 million as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear	'
	Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear
	Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear represent RealD eyewear and are substantially all finished goods. Inventories and deferred costs-eyewear are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories and deferred costs-eyewear for net realizable value. The Company also evaluates inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. These evaluations include analyses of expected future average selling prices, projections of future demand and technology changes. In order to state inventories at the lower of cost or market, RealD maintains reserves against such inventories. If the Company’s analyses indicate that market is lower than cost, a write-down of inventories is recorded in cost of revenue in the period the loss is identified. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the inventory reserve as a result of the Company’s net realizable value analyses was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
	Domestically, the Company provides RealD eyewear free of charge to motion picture exhibitors and then receives a fee from the motion picture studios for the usage of RealD eyewear by the motion picture exhibitors’ consumers. Eyewear shipped from inventory is deferred on the shipment date and then amortized to cost of product revenue according to assumptions related to eyewear usage by consumers.
Impairment of long-lived assets	'
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, cinema systems, digital projectors and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors or circumstances that could indicate the occurrence of such events include current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing operating or cash flow losses, or incurring costs in excess of amounts originally expected to acquire or construct an asset. If the asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
	For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, impairment charges for all impaired RealD Cinema Systems charged to cost of revenue totaled $1.0 million, respectively.
Revenue recognition	'
	Revenue recognition
	The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the license of RealD Cinema Systems and the product sale of RealD eyewear. RealD evaluates revenue recognition for transactions using the criteria set forth by the Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases, and Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The revenue recognition guidance states that revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue net of estimated allowances.
	License revenue
	License revenue, net of allowances, is accounted for as an operating lease. License revenue is primarily derived under per-admission, periodic fixed fee, or per-motion picture basis with motion picture exhibitors. Amounts received up front, less estimated allowances, are deferred and recognized over the lease term using the straight-line method. Additional lease payments that are contingent upon future events outside the Company’s control, including those related to admission and usage, are recognized as revenues when the contingency is resolved and the Company has no more obligations to our customers specific to the contingent payment received. Certain of the Company’s license revenue from leasing RealD Cinema Systems is earned upon admission by the motion picture exhibitor’s consumers. The Company’s licensees, however, do not report and pay for such license revenue until after the admission has occurred, which may be received subsequent to the Company’s fiscal period end. The Company estimates and records licensing revenue related to motion picture exhibitor consumer admissions in the quarter in which the admission occurs, but only when reasonable estimates of such amounts can be made. The Company determines that there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement upon the execution of a license agreement or upon the receipt of a licensee’s admissions report. Revenue is deemed fixed or determinable upon receipt of a licensee’s admissions report or evidence of a RealD box office showing by licensee. The Company determines collectability based on an evaluation of the licensee’s recent payment history and evaluation of the respective customer’s credit-standing.
	Product revenue
	The Company recognizes product revenue, net of allowances, when title and risk of loss have passed and when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the payment is fixed or determinable, and collectability of payment is reasonably assured. In the United States and Canada, certain of the Company’s product revenue from the sale of RealD eyewear is earned upon admission and usage by the motion picture exhibitor’s consumers. The Company’s customers, however, do not report admission or usage information until after the admission and usage has occurred, and such information may be received subsequent to the Company’s fiscal period end. Accordingly, the Company estimates and records such product revenue in the quarter in which the admission and usage occurs, but only when reasonable estimates of such amounts can be made.
Comprehensive income (loss)	'
	Comprehensive income (loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The only component of other comprehensive income or loss is unrealized foreign currency translation gains (losses). There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
Shipping and handling costs	'
	Shipping and handling costs
	Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. RealD’s shipping and handling costs consists primarily of packaging and transportation charges and are recorded in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs recognized in cost of revenue were $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements	'
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, effective for RealD as of April 1, 2017 (the first quarter of fiscal year 2018). The new standard will be implemented retrospectively with the Company choosing to either restate prior periods or recognize the cumulative effect. The new Topic 606 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Topic 840 leases. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to provide guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
