Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). As at December 31, 2017, the Company had an 11.8% equity interest in KyLin TV, Inc. (“KyLin TV”) (2016 – 11.8%). This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, assumptions used in stock-based compensation and the allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future actual results, the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when four revenue recognition criteria have been 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. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is allocated among separate elements based on their estimated sales prices, provided the elements have value on a stand-alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of sales price, the arrangement does not include a general right of return relative to the delivered item and delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. The maximum revenue recognized on a delivered element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of additional items. The Company earns revenue as follows: (a) Setup fees are charged to customers for design, setup and implementation services. Setup fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally three to five years. (b) Annual and/or monthly fees are charged to customers for ongoing hosting, support and maintenance. Annual and/or monthly fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized evenly over the service period. (c) Subscription revenues, which consist of recurring revenues based on the number of subscribers, are typically generated on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and can be a fixed fee per user, a variable fee per user or a variable fee based on a percentage of the subscription price. The Company defers the appropriate portion of cash received for the services that have not yet been rendered and recognizes the revenue over the term of the subscription, which are generally between 30 days and one year. Pay-per-view revenues are deferred and recognized in the period when the content is viewed. Subscription revenues are recorded on either a gross or net basis depending on the transaction arrangement with the customer. Where subscription revenues are recorded on a gross basis, the total amount of the subscription is deferred and recognized over the subscription term and the share of revenue owing to our customer is deferred and recognized as a cost of revenue over the term of the subscription. Where subscription revenues are recorded on a net basis, only the Company’s share of revenue from the subscription is deferred and recognized over the term of the subscription. Under U.S. GAAP guidance related to reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent, the indicators used to determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent to a transaction are subject to judgment. When our assessment of the indicators leads us to conclude that the Company is the principal in the subscription transaction, revenue is recorded on a gross basis, the total amount of the subscription is deferred and recognized over the subscription term. When our assessment of the indicators leads us to conclude that the Company is the agent in the subscription transaction, only the Company’s share of revenue from the subscription is deferred and recognized over the term of the subscription. (d) Usage fees are charged to customers for bandwidth and storage. Usage fees are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis and are recognized as the service is being provided. (e) Licensing revenue is primarily derived from royalties paid to the Company by licensees of the Company’s intellectual property rights. Revenue in such transactions is recognized during the period in which such customers report to the Company the number of royalty-eligible units that they have shipped. Revenue from guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses is recognizable upon delivery of the technology license when no further obligations of the Company exist. In certain guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses, the Company enters into extended payment programs with customers. Revenue related to such extended payment programs is recognized at the earlier of when cash is received or when periodic payments become due to the Company. If the Company receives non-refundable advance payments from licensees that are allocable to a future contract period or could be creditable against other obligations of the licensee to it, the recognition of the related revenue is deferred until such future period or creditable obligation lapses. Royalties and other license fees are recorded net of reserves for estimated losses, and are recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company makes judgments as to whether collectability can be reasonably assured based on the licensee’s recent payment history unless significant and persuasive evidence exists that the customer is creditworthy. In the absence of a favorable collection history or significant and persuasive evidence that the customer is creditworthy, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of cash, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company actively polices and enforces its intellectual property, and pursues third parties who have under-reported the amount of royalties owed under a license agreement or who utilize its intellectual property without a license. As a result of these activities, from time to time, the Company may recognize royalty revenues that relate to infringements or under-reporting that occurred in prior periods. These royalty recoveries may cause revenues to be higher than expected during a particular reporting period and may not occur in subsequent periods. Differences between amounts initially recognized and amounts subsequently audited or reported as an adjustment to those amounts due from licensees, will be recognized in the period such adjustment is determined or contracted, as appropriate. Licensing revenue is recognized gross of withholding taxes that are remitted by the Company's licensees directly to their local tax authorities. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, withholding taxes were $2,358, $2,486 and $3,754, respectively. (f) eCommerce revenues are earned through providing customers with ticketing and retail merchandising web solutions. eCommerce revenues are recorded on a net basis when the service has been provided. The Company records as revenue the portion of the fees to which it is entitled as opposed to the amount billed for tickets or retail merchandise sold. (g) Advertising revenues are earned through the insertion of advertising impressions on websites and in streaming video at a cost per thousand impressions. Advertising revenue is recognized based on the number of impressions displayed (“served”) during the period. Deferred revenue for advertising represents the timing difference between collection of advertising revenue and when the advertisements are served, which is typically between 30 and 90 days. Advertising revenues are recorded on a gross basis, whereby the total amount billed to the advertiser is recorded as revenue and the share of revenue to our customer is recorded as a cost of revenue. (h) Support revenues are earned for providing customer support to our customers’ end users. Support fees are recognized evenly over the service period. (i) Equipment revenue is generated by the sale and rental of set-top boxes (“STBs”) to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive content over the Internet and display the signal on a standard television. Shipping charges are included in total equipment revenue. Revenue is recognized generally upon shipment to the customer. The customer does not have any right of return on STBs. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered. If any of these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such time as all of the criteria are met. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments, such as money market funds, that have original maturities of less than three months. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. The Company maintains a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness; past transaction history with the customer; current economic industry trends; and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $190 and $385, respectively. Inventory Inventory consists of STBs, which are finished goods. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology and market conditions on its inventory-on-hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: Computer hardware 5 years Computer software 3 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life and lease term The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property, plant and equipment are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization. Cost of intangible assets acquired through business combinations represents their fair market value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, which are as follows: Customer relationships 5-7 years Developed technology 5 years Trademarks 7 years The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the intangible assets are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each calendar year. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test is based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, there was no impairment loss. Investment in affiliate Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee’s board of directors and voting rights. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee's accounts are not reflected within the Company's consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss; however, the Company's share of the losses of the investee company is reflected under the caption “Equity in loss of affiliate” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLin TV’s accumulated losses, the Company’s investment in KyLin TV was reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded because the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLin TV. If KyLin TV becomes profitable in the future, the Company will resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the Company’s share of net losses not recognized during the period in which the equity method was suspended. Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes Recognition” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. ASC 740 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater-than-fifty-percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance for classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740 requires that a liability created for unrecognized tax benefits be presented as a separate liability and not combined with deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company operates in a number of countries worldwide. Its income tax liability is therefore a consolidation of its tax liabilities in various locations. Its tax rate is affected by the profitability of its operations in various locations, the tax rates and taxation systems of the countries in which the Company operates, its tax policies and the impact of certain tax planning strategies which have been implemented. To determine its worldwide tax liability, the Company makes estimates of possible tax liabilities. Tax filings, positions and strategies are subject to review under local or international tax audit and the outcomes of such reviews are uncertain. In addition, these audits generally take place years after the period in which the tax provision in question was determined and it may take a substantial amount of time before the final outcome of any audit is known. Future tax audits could result in income tax liabilities that differ materially from the amounts recorded in our financial statements. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that it would be able to realize the benefit of some of its federal and state related deferred tax assets in the future. The Company based this conclusion on historical and projected operating performance, as well as its expectation that operations will not generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company increased the valuation allowance on a portion of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset by evaluating both positive and negative evidence that may exist. Any adjustment to the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded in the income statement for the period that the adjustment is determined to be required. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted into law. The Act provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that impact corporate taxation requirements, such as the reduction of the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21%, changes or limitations to certain tax deductions, implementing a territorial tax system, and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. On that same day, the SEC issued SAB 118 which gives the Company a “measurement period” to implement all the required changes imposed by this Act. The Company has made a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects within the tax provision and intend to refine this estimate as additional guidance, clarification, and analysis is available. Foreign currency transactions The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. These transactional foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Financial instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, due from/to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. The carrying amounts of such instruments approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term nature of these items. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company is exposed to credit risk arising from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations to the Company. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations on its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that corresponds with the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances. Research and development Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred and are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,327, $1,189 Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments The Company accounts for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted to employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured and expensed as the warrants vest. Restricted stock unit awards give the holder the right to one share of common stock for each vested restricted stock unit. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period of these awards. Deferred rent Rent expense on non-cancellable leases containing known future scheduled rent increases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is accounted for as deferred rent. Landlord construction allowances and other such lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized on a straight-line basis as reductions to rent expense. Segment The Company’s CEO is its chief operating decision maker. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue based on the type of product/service provided and by geographic region. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker for operations, operating results, and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. The Company has therefore determined that it has a single operating segment. Recently issued accounting standards Recently Adopted In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Under this amended guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement in the period in which the awards vest or are exercised. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified with other income tax cash flows in operating activities. The amended guidance also gives the option to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur and increases the threshold for awards that are partially settled in cash to qualify for equity classification. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company had historically estimated the number of forfeitures as part of its option valuation process and will continue to do so under the new guidance. No aspect of the guidance that requires retrospective adoption impacted the Company. Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and superseded most existing revenue recognition guidance. The main principle under this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue at the amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2014-09 allows for adoption either on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application, which will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 and its amendments on a modified retrospective basis. We have closely assessed the new guidance, including the interpretations by the FASB Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition, throughout 2017. We have concluded that the most significant changes will be the timing of revenue recognition related to our Consumer Electronics and MainConcept solutions. Under the current standard, the software license revenue related to these solutions is regularly recognized ratably over the service period when extended payment terms are offered to the customer. The customer contracts generally have one to three-year terms, with payments made quarterly or annually throughout the license period. Under the new standard, we will recognize software license revenue at the time the license is delivered. The cumulative-effect adjustment, related to our Consumer Electronics and MainConcept solutions, upon adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 is expected to decrease the opening balance of accumulated deficit by approximately $6.8 million, net of tax. Regarding our NeuLion Platform solution, we have concluded that ASU 2014-09's broad definition of variable consideration will require the Company to estimate certain variable payments and accelerate or defer the recognition of those payments to align the revenue recognized with the transfer of goods and services to the customer. While we do not expect this change to have a material impact on our revenues on an annual basis, since variable payments will all be recognized within the same contract year as the goods and services are transferred to the customer, we do expect that it will have an impact on our revenue in interim periods. The cumulative-effect adjustment, related to our NeuLion Platform solution, upon adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 is expected to increase the opening balance of accumulated deficit by approximately $1.3 million, net of tax. The Company has also identified and implemented changes to our accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls, as well as designed and implemented specific controls over our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on the Company, including the cumulative effect calculation, disclosure requirements and the collection of relevant data into the reporting process. While we are substantially complete with the process of quantifying the impacts that will result from applying the new guidance, our assessment will be finalized during the first quarter of 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842), which superseded previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which (i) significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model; and (ii) provides for recording credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities through an allowance account. The update also requires certain incremental disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	3. Business Combinations (i) Saffron Digital Limited (“Saffron Digital”) On June 3, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Saffron Digital, operating in the United Kingdom, in an all-cash asset transaction for total consideration of $9,000, of which $7,500 was paid on closing and $1,500 was paid in September 2016. The Saffron Digital solution, which has been integrated into the NeuLion Digital Platform, helps customers build digital video services for entertainment delivered over-the-top to Internet-connected devices. These digital video services support advanced implementations of subscription video on demand, electronic sell-through and advertising-supported video. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 — Business Combinations . Accordingly, the results of operations of Saffron Digital have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition and are based on assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information available. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred $0, $109 and $0 of acquisition-related expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The total purchase price for Saffron Digital has been allocated as follows: Prepaid expenses and deposits $ 53 Property, plant and equipment 14 Intangible assets 7,200 Goodwill 1,733 Net assets acquired $ 9,000 The following are the identifiable intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives, as determined based on valuations: Useful Life Amount (years) Developed technology $ 3,900 5 Customer relationships 3,300 5 $ 7,200 (ii) DivX Corporation (“DivX”) On January 30, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of DivX Corporation (“DivX”) for total consideration of $59,018. The Company also assumed an earn-out liability based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones over the three-year period following March 31, 2014. On January 30, 2015, management valued the earn-out liability at zero due to the historical performance and forecast of DivX. On closing, the Company issued 35,890,216 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $31,905 on the issuance date and a $27,000 two-year convertible promissory note (the “Note”). At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 4, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the conversion of the Note. Upon such approval, the Note principal of $27,000 automatically converted into 25,840,956 shares of common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 — Business Combinations . Accordingly, the results of operations of DivX have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition and are based on assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information available. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred approximately $0, $0 and $360, of acquisition-related expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The total purchase price for DivX has been allocated as follows: Cash $ 9,718 Accounts receivable 7,094 Contracts receivable 16,668 Income tax receivable 4,317 Other receivables 247 Prepaid expenses 1,342 Deferred tax asset 384 Other assets 334 Property and equipment, net 3,592 Intangible assets 28,500 Goodwill 169 Accounts payable (721 ) Accrued liabilities (5,560 ) Deferred revenue (3,000 ) Deferred tax liability (2,154 ) Deferred rent liability (1,912 ) Net assets acquired $ 59,018 The following are the identifiable intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives, as determined based on valuations: Useful Life Amount (years) Developed technology $ 14,400 5 Customer relationships 9,400 5 Trademarks 4,700 7 $ 28,500 The fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted-average cost of capital. Contracts Receivable The purchase price allocation includes estimated contracts receivable of $16,668, which are attributable to an adjustment to record the fair value of assumed contractual payments due to DivX for which no additional obligation exists in order to receive such payments. These contractual payments are for fixed multi-year site licenses and guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses. DivX’s revenue is primarily derived from royalties paid by licensees to acquire intellectual property rights. Revenue in such transactions is recognized during the period in which such customers reported the number of royalty-eligible units that they have shipped. As the first royalty reports received from customers post-acquisition were for shipments made prior to the acquisition, these amounts did not meet the requirements for the Company to recognize the revenue; however, the cash payments associated with these reports will be received by the Company. In certain multi-year site licenses and guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses, DivX, under previous ownership, entered into extended payment programs. Revenue related to such extended payment programs was recognized at the earlier of when cash was received or when periodic payments became due. In each case, the payment terms extend over the term of the multi-year license, and the remaining contractual payments that existed at the acquisition date will be received by the Company. As the Company assumed no additional obligations under such contracts, these payments are considered a fixed payment stream, rather than revenue. This fixed payment stream is accounted for as an element of accounts receivable and included as part of the acquisition accounting. The fair value of the remaining payments due under the applicable contracts is estimated by calculating the discounted cash flows associated with such future billings. Although the Company has not recognized revenue as it collects the corresponding site license payments under these pre-acquisition contracts, the Company has recognized interest income at the discount rate of the contract receivable. Interest income recognized during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $0, $0 and $343, respectively. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and DivX, on a pro forma basis, as though the Company had acquired DivX on January 1, 2015. The pro forma information presented also includes the effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangibles assets. Year ended December 31, 2015 Total revenue $ 96,282 Net income (loss) $ 23,691 Income (loss) per share – basic and diluted $ 0.10

Related Party Transactions	7. Related Party Transactions The Company has entered into certain transactions and agreements in the normal course of operations with related parties. Significant related party transactions are as follows: KyLin TV KyLin TV is an IPTV company that is controlled by Charles B. Wang, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. On June 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with KyLin TV to build and deliver the setup and back office operations for KyLin TV’s IPTV service. Effective April 1, 2012, the Company amended its agreement with KyLin TV, such that, in addition to the services previously provided, KyLin TV was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Company’s business to consumer (“B2C”) IPTV interests. As exclusive distributor, KyLin TV obtains, advertises and markets all of the Company’s B2C content, in accordance with the terms of the amendment. Accordingly, KyLin TV records the gross revenues from the Company’s B2C content as well as the associated license fees, whereas the Company records revenues in accordance with the revised fee schedule in the amendment. The Company also provides and charges KyLin TV for administrative and general corporate support. For each of the periods presented, the amounts charged for these services provided by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $86, $97 and $118, respectively, and were recorded as a recovery in selling, general and administrative expense. New York Islanders Hockey Club, L.P. (“New York Islanders”) The Company provides IT-related professional services and administrative services to the New York Islanders, a professional hockey club that is minority-owned by Mr. Wang. Renaissance Property Associates, LLC (“Renaissance”) The Company provides IT-related professional services to Renaissance, a real estate management company owned by Mr. Wang. In June 2009, the Company signed a sublease agreement with Renaissance for office space in Plainview, New York. The sublease agreement expires in December 2019. Rent expense paid by the Company to Renaissance of $674, $565 and $430, Smile Train, Inc. (“Smile Train”) The Company provides IT-related professional services to Smile Train, a public charity whose founder and significant benefactor is Mr. Wang. The Company recognized revenue from related parties as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 New York Islanders $ 277 $ 280 $ 292 Renaissance 120 120 120 Smile Train 96 96 96 KyLinTV 289 363 553 $ 782 $ 859 $ 1,061 The amounts due from (to) related parties are as follows: As of December 31, 2017 2016 New York Islanders $ 3 $ 103 Renaissance (6 ) 26 KyLin TV 71 422 Smile Train 24 0 $ 92 $ 551 Investment in affiliate – KyLin TV The Company records its investment in KyLin TV using the equity method. From January 1, 2008 through February 26, 2010, the Company’s equity interest in KyLin TV was 17.1%. On February 26, 2010, a group of private investors invested $10.0 million in KyLin TV, which reduced the Company’s equity interest to 11.8%. Of the total $10.0 million investment, $1.0 million was invested by AvantaLion LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Wang. Management has determined that, as a result of the 11.8% equity interest combined with the services that the Company provides KyLin TV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLin TV; therefore, the Company continues to account for its investment in KyLin TV using the equity method. As previously discussed, the Company also provides and charges KyLin TV for administrative and general corporate support. The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLin TV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLin TV’s accumulated losses, the investment was reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLin TV. If KyLin TV becomes profitable in the future, the Company will resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the Company’s share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. From 2008 through 2017, the Company’s share of cumulative losses in KyLin TV that have not been recognized as of December 31, 2017 was $4,661.

The Company evaluated the noteholder’s right to receive a cash payment for any positive intrinsic value in the Company’s stock at the maturity date of the Note and determined that the embedded cash settlement option should be bifurcated. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative liability on the acquisition date was $713 and on June 4, 2015 (prior to conversion) was $816, and accordingly recorded a net gain of $507 for the year ended December 31, 2015, on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) to reflect the change in fair value of the derivative liability immediately prior to conversion and the conversion of the convertible note. The Company’s determination of the fair value of the derivative liability was based on a 90% probability that the Note would be converted by June 30, 2015. If that probability was reduced, the fair value of derivative liability would be higher. The Company recorded $123 of interest expense on the amortization of the debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2015. Additionally, the Company analyzed the conversion feature and determined that the effective conversion price was higher than the market price at the date of issuance; therefore no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.

Stock Option and Stock-Based Compensation Plans	11. Stock Option and Stock-Based Compensation Plans The total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 (i) 2012 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) The Omnibus Plan applies to all grants of distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, performance share awards, performance unit awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, tandem stock appreciation rights and unrestricted stock awards (“equity securities”) to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any entity controlled by the Company. The exercise price for any new security granted under the 2012 Plan is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date. If the security is granted on a pre-determined basis, the exercise price is determined using the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange immediately prior to the date of grant. In all cases the exercise price may not be less than fair market value. Securities are exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire no later than five years after the date of grant, subject to early termination of the option in the event the holder of the option dies or ceases to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the Company or entity controlled by the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of securities granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan is 50,000,000 shares of common stock.

The Company estimates volatility based on the Company’s historical volatility. The Company estimates the risk-free rate based on the Federal Reserve rate. The Company currently estimates the expected life of its stock options to be seven years. As at December 31, 2017, there was $5,203 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options under the Omnibus Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.

(ii) Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Old Plan”) The Old Plan applied to all grants of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any entity controlled by the Company. The exercise price for any option granted under the Old Plan was determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date. If the option was granted on a pre-determined basis, the exercise price was determined using the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange immediately prior to the date of grant. In all cases the exercise price was not less than fair market value. Options were exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire five years after the date of grant, subject to extension per the terms of the plan or early termination of the option in the event the holder of the option dies or ceases to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the Company or entity controlled by the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Old Plan was equal to the greater of (i) 4,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 12.5% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Since the adoption of the Omnibus Plan, no options have been or will be issued under the Old Plan. A summary of stock option activity under the Old Plan is as follows: # Weighted average of options exercise price Outstanding, December 31, 2014 7,892,175 0.38 Exercised (2,981,875 ) 0.49 Forfeited (47,000 ) 0.56 Outstanding, December 31, 2015 4,863,300 0.31 Exercised (2,495,050 ) 0.41 Forfeited (329,500 ) 0.36 Outstanding, December 31, 2016 2,038,750 0.18 Exercised (705,000 ) 0.18 Forfeited (40,000 ) 0.18 Outstanding, December 31, 2017 1,293,750 0.18 The following table summarizes information regarding stock options granted under the Old Plan as at December 31, 2017: Weighted average Aggregate Exercise Number remaining Number intrinsic price outstanding contractual life exercisable value $ 0.18 1,293,750 0.0 (1) 1,293,750 $ 298 (1) By the terms of the Old Plan, the options expire 10 business days after the end of the current blackout period. The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2017 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2017. The amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, $0, $35 and $185, respectively, were recorded for total stock-based compensation expense related to options issued under the Old Plan. As at December 31, 2017, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to these options. (iii) Warrants A summary of the warrant activity is as follows: # Weighted average of warrants exercise price Outstanding, December 31, 2014 4,959,206 $ 0.27 Exercised (2,967,465 ) 0.30 Forfeited (67,000 ) 0.51 Outstanding, December 31, 2015 and 2016 1,924,741 $ 0.25 Forfeited (30,000 ) 2.20 Outstanding, December 31, 2017 1,894,741 $ 0.22 The fair value of warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The following table summarizes the warrant information as at December 31, 2017: Weighted average Aggregate Exercise Number remaining Number intrinsic price outstanding contractual life exercisable value $ 0.22 1,894,741 4.4 1,894,741 $ 360 No warrants were granted during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015. (iv) Directors’ Compensation Plan (“Directors’ Plan”) Non-management directors of the Company receive a minimum of 50%, and may elect to receive a greater portion, of their fees in common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to non-management directors is determined by dividing the dollar value of the fees by the closing price of the common stock on the relevant payment date. The maximum number of shares of common stock available to be issued by the Company under the Directors’ Plan is 5,000,000. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 842,973

Commitments and Contingencies	15. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has multiple leases for facilities and equipment. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no outstanding capital leases. Future minimum annual payments over the next five years and thereafter (exclusive of taxes, insurance and maintenance costs) under these commitments as of December 31, 2017 are as follows: Operating Leases Gross Recovery Net 2018 $ 3,074 $ (834 ) $ 2,240 2019 3,372 (834 ) 2,538 2020 2,095 - 2,095 2021 1,504 - 1,504 2022 - - - Thereafter - - - $ 10,045 $ (1,668 ) $ 8,377 On February 12, 2017, the Company entered into a sublease for its San Diego office, effective January 1, 2018, which is expected to generate a total recovery of $1,668 over two years beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company periodically enters into contracts with customers and vendors in which the Company guarantees (i) a customer a minimum amount of revenue share for services the Company provides under the contract or (ii) a vendor a minimum fixed bandwidth fee commitment. As at December 31, 2017, the total amount of these guarantees are $8,516 payable over the next 3 years as follows: 2018: $6,896; 2019: $1,298; and 2020: $322. The Company believes that the future commitments are probable. Contingencies On the night of August 26, 2017, the Company experienced a problem during its streaming of the Mayweather vs. McGregor pay per view boxing event that affected a significant number of UFC.TV users. The Company does not believe the issue was systemic or fundamental to the NeuLion Digital Platform or the Company’s underlying technology. Following the event, the Company’s customer, UFC, put in place a refund program and refunded UFC’s Mayweather vs. McGregor pay per view customers. The refunds were entirely funded by UFC (the Company collected such funds solely in its capacity as the UFC’s payment processor) in accordance with instructions received from the UFC. The Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 was impacted by these refunds to the extent that it would have shared, on a minority basis, in the revenue that was refunded and which would have been recorded on a net basis. On November 27, 2017, the UFC and the Company settled any claims the UFC might have against the Company in connection with the Mayweather vs. McGregor pay per view event and the UFC agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any and all claims by the UFC or any third party. In the ordinary course of business, in addition to the above disclosed matters, the Company may be contingently liable for other litigation and a party to claims. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made where required for such contingencies. Although the extent of potential costs and losses, if any, is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segmented Information	16. Segmented Information The Company’s assets and operations are located in the United Sates, Asia and Europe. The Company operates in one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue based on the type of product/service provided and by geographic region. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker for operations, operating results, and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. The Company has therefore determined that it has a single operating segment. Total revenue from customers, based on the location of the customers, regardless of where the services were provided, was as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 North America $ 58,495 61 % $ 65,395 66 % $ 64,146 68 % Asia 21,278 22 % 21,502 22 % 20,100 21 % Europe 14,296 15 % 10,358 10 % 6,249 7 % Australia 1,501 2 % 2,533 2 % 3,548 4 % $ 95,570 100 % $ 99,788 100 % $ 94,043 100 % Total revenue from customers, based on the type of product/service provided, was as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 NeuLion Digital Platform $ 64,528 68 % $ 67,874 68 % $ 66,088 70 % Consumer Electronics ("CE") 20,590 21 % 21,241 21 % 20,518 22 % MainConcept 10,452 11 % 10,673 11 % 7,437 8 % $ 95,570 100 % $ 99,788 100 % $ 94,043 100 % Total property and equipment, categorized by the location of the assets, was as follows (1): December 31, 2017 Cost Accumulated Depreciation Net book Value North America $ 23,475 $ 19,194 $ 4,281 Asia 1,182 932 250 Europe 4,591 1,020 3,571 $ 29,248 $ 21,146 $ 8,102 December 31, 2016 Cost Accumulated Depreciation Net book Value North America $ 29,458 $ 16,617 $ 12,841 Asia 1,318 939 379 Europe 2,719 1,712 1,007 $ 33,495 $ 19,268 $ 14,227

Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Combined basic federal rate 35% 35% 35% Income tax benefit based on statutory income tax rate $ (4,646 ) $ (119 ) $ (676 ) Increase in income taxes resulting from: Non-deductible expenses, state and foreign taxes 1,520 1,826 496 Foreign withholding taxes (net of foreign tax credit) 2,359 Net operating loss adjustment 7,351 207 - Enactment of change in federal tax rate for future years 10,329 - - Change in valuation allowance 1,128 (503 ) (27,667 ) Income tax expense (benefit) $ 18,041 $ 1,411 $ (27,847 ) Deferred income taxes result principally from temporary differences in the recognition of loss carry-forwards and expense items for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: As of, December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred tax assets Accrued expenses and deferred revenue $ 1,715 $ 3,345 Intangible assets and goodwill - - Stock options 312 510 Net operating losses 22,908 26,149 Credits 209 11,034 Other 588 1,092 Valuation allowance (6,952 ) (5,826 ) Total deferred tax assets $ 18,780 $ 36,304 Deferred tax liabilties Property, plant and equipment $ (1,611 ) $ (2,154 ) Intangible assets and goodwill (872 ) (2,469 ) Foreign earnings - (200 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (2,483 ) $ (4,823 ) Total net deferred tax assets $ 16,297 $ 31,481 As of December 31, 2017, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $78,545 and $43,516, respectively. The federal and state net operating losses do not include approximately $22,487 and $16,986, respectively, related to tax goodwill amortization that will not be realized for financial reporting purposes until the Company is able to take a tax benefit for those deductions. The federal and state net operating losses begin to expire in 2024 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $210 and $86, respectively. The federal research and development credit begins to expire in 2033. The state research and development credit carries forward indefinitely. The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $20,816. Our ability to utilize our federal tax attribute carryforwards have been limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ''Code''), which imposes an annual limit on the ability of a corporation that undergoes an ''ownership change'' to use its tax attribute carryforwards to reduce its liability. An ownership change is generally defined as a greater than 50% increase in equity ownership by 5% shareholders in any three-year period. At December 31, 2017, based on the weight of available evidence, including profitability in recent periods and the availability of expected future taxable income, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the benefits of all deferred income tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company increased the valuation allowances on some of its foreign and state related deferred income tax assets. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to offset foreign and certain state deferred tax assets, as realization of such assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. The net change in the total valuation allowance was an increase of $1,126 and a decrease of ($504) as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes Recognition.” The Company does not believe there are any material uncertain tax provisions under ASC 740. The Company is subject to federal and state income tax, as well as income tax in various foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company’s federal and state tax returns remain open and subject to potential government audit for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, to the extent allowed by law the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating losses or credit carryforward amount. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted December 22, 2017, contains provisions that affect the Company in the current and future years. Reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% reduced the value of our domestic deferred tax assets by $10,329, which is included in deferred tax expense in 2017. The Act also implemented a territorial tax system and imposed a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, neither of which had a significant impact on the current tax provision. The SEC issued SAB 118 on December 22, 2017 which addresses situations where the registrant does not have all the necessary information available or analyzed to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects under the 2017 Tax Act. Due to the lack of authoritative guidance issued, complexity, and enactment timing of the Act, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects and intend to refine this estimate as additional guidance, clarification, and analysis is available. Any changes to our estimate will be reflected in continuing operations in the period the amounts are determined and within the “measurement period” allowed under SAB 118.

Property, Plant and Equipment Assets Held-for-sale Disclosure [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale	18. Assets Held for Sale On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into a contract to sell its office building located in Melville, New York (the “property”), subject to due diligence, for $7,300. Taking into consideration the contracted sales price, less the expected selling costs, at December 31, 2017 the Company estimated that the fair value of the property was $6,803. Since the net book value of the assets held for sale was $7,228, an impairment loss of $425 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017. The net book value of the property in assets held for sale consisted of the following: As of December 31, 2017 Land $ 2,509 Building 4,294 $ 6,803 On December 18, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain DivX Corporation assets, intellectual property and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “DivX assets”) to an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. The DivX assets are not core to NeuLion’s focus on the over-the-top (“OTT”) market and NeuLion expects that the transaction will provide it with lower operating costs and provide capital that the Company can leverage as it expands its presence in the global OTT arena. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, NeuLion will sell the DivX assets for cash consideration of $41.5 million, subject to adjustment as specified in the Purchase Agreement. Taking into consideration the contracted sales price, less the expected selling costs, at December 31, 2017 the Company estimated that the fair value of the DivX assets exceeded the net book value. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company incurred approximately $476 of acquisition-related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2017 that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The net book value of the DivX assets (liabilities) in assets held for sale consisted of the following: As of December 31, 2017 Other receivables $ 11 Prepaid expenses and deposits 1,118 Property, plant and equipment, net 100 Other assets 3,695 Intangible assets, net 10,108 Goodwill 6,541 Deferred revenue (712 ) Long-term deferred revenue (106 ) $ 20,755

Subsequent Events	19. Subsequent Events On January 16, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the property described in Note 18 for total consideration of approximately $7,300. On closing, the Company incurred approximately $497 of selling-related expenses and received net cash consideration of $6,803. On February 12 2018, the Company completed the sale of the DivX assets described above in Note 18. Total cash consideration for the sale was $41,500. . On March 26, 2018, NeuLion entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WME Entertainment Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Lion Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into NeuLion, with NeuLion surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of NeuLion’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $0.84 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, stockholders representing approximately 70%, in the aggregate, of NeuLion’s outstanding shares of common stock executed and delivered to NeuLion a written consent, effective upon the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, irrevocably approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Merger cannot be consummated until the passing of 20 calendar days from the date on which NeuLion mails to its stockholders an information statement on Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Also on March 26, 2018, NeuLion entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Stillwater Holding Company LLC pursuant to which NeuLion agreed to sell certain assets relating to its business of providing web publishing, ticketing and donor management services to athletic conferences, colleges and universities (collectively, the “Assets”). The sale of the Assets will close immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, and is conditioned solely upon the substantially concurrent closing of the Merger. The Purchase Agreement automatically terminates upon a termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of estimates	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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, assumptions used in stock-based compensation and the allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future actual results, the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when four revenue recognition criteria have been 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. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is allocated among separate elements based on their estimated sales prices, provided the elements have value on a stand-alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of sales price, the arrangement does not include a general right of return relative to the delivered item and delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. The maximum revenue recognized on a delivered element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of additional items. The Company earns revenue as follows: (a) Setup fees are charged to customers for design, setup and implementation services. Setup fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally three to five years. (b) Annual and/or monthly fees are charged to customers for ongoing hosting, support and maintenance. Annual and/or monthly fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized evenly over the service period. (c) Subscription revenues, which consist of recurring revenues based on the number of subscribers, are typically generated on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and can be a fixed fee per user, a variable fee per user or a variable fee based on a percentage of the subscription price. The Company defers the appropriate portion of cash received for the services that have not yet been rendered and recognizes the revenue over the term of the subscription, which are generally between 30 days and one year. Pay-per-view revenues are deferred and recognized in the period when the content is viewed. Subscription revenues are recorded on either a gross or net basis depending on the transaction arrangement with the customer. Where subscription revenues are recorded on a gross basis, the total amount of the subscription is deferred and recognized over the subscription term and the share of revenue owing to our customer is deferred and recognized as a cost of revenue over the term of the subscription. Where subscription revenues are recorded on a net basis, only the Company’s share of revenue from the subscription is deferred and recognized over the term of the subscription. Under U.S. GAAP guidance related to reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent, the indicators used to determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent to a transaction are subject to judgment. When our assessment of the indicators leads us to conclude that the Company is the principal in the subscription transaction, revenue is recorded on a gross basis, the total amount of the subscription is deferred and recognized over the subscription term. When our assessment of the indicators leads us to conclude that the Company is the agent in the subscription transaction, only the Company’s share of revenue from the subscription is deferred and recognized over the term of the subscription. (d) Usage fees are charged to customers for bandwidth and storage. Usage fees are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis and are recognized as the service is being provided. (e) Licensing revenue is primarily derived from royalties paid to the Company by licensees of the Company’s intellectual property rights. Revenue in such transactions is recognized during the period in which such customers report to the Company the number of royalty-eligible units that they have shipped. Revenue from guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses is recognizable upon delivery of the technology license when no further obligations of the Company exist. In certain guaranteed minimum-royalty licenses, the Company enters into extended payment programs with customers. Revenue related to such extended payment programs is recognized at the earlier of when cash is received or when periodic payments become due to the Company. If the Company receives non-refundable advance payments from licensees that are allocable to a future contract period or could be creditable against other obligations of the licensee to it, the recognition of the related revenue is deferred until such future period or creditable obligation lapses. Royalties and other license fees are recorded net of reserves for estimated losses, and are recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company makes judgments as to whether collectability can be reasonably assured based on the licensee’s recent payment history unless significant and persuasive evidence exists that the customer is creditworthy. In the absence of a favorable collection history or significant and persuasive evidence that the customer is creditworthy, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of cash, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company actively polices and enforces its intellectual property, and pursues third parties who have under-reported the amount of royalties owed under a license agreement or who utilize its intellectual property without a license. As a result of these activities, from time to time, the Company may recognize royalty revenues that relate to infringements or under-reporting that occurred in prior periods. These royalty recoveries may cause revenues to be higher than expected during a particular reporting period and may not occur in subsequent periods. Differences between amounts initially recognized and amounts subsequently audited or reported as an adjustment to those amounts due from licensees, will be recognized in the period such adjustment is determined or contracted, as appropriate. Licensing revenue is recognized gross of withholding taxes that are remitted by the Company's licensees directly to their local tax authorities. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, withholding taxes were $2,358, $2,486 and $3,754, respectively. (f) eCommerce revenues are earned through providing customers with ticketing and retail merchandising web solutions. eCommerce revenues are recorded on a net basis when the service has been provided. The Company records as revenue the portion of the fees to which it is entitled as opposed to the amount billed for tickets or retail merchandise sold. (g) Advertising revenues are earned through the insertion of advertising impressions on websites and in streaming video at a cost per thousand impressions. Advertising revenue is recognized based on the number of impressions displayed (“served”) during the period. Deferred revenue for advertising represents the timing difference between collection of advertising revenue and when the advertisements are served, which is typically between 30 and 90 days. Advertising revenues are recorded on a gross basis, whereby the total amount billed to the advertiser is recorded as revenue and the share of revenue to our customer is recorded as a cost of revenue. (h) Support revenues are earned for providing customer support to our customers’ end users. Support fees are recognized evenly over the service period. (i) Equipment revenue is generated by the sale and rental of set-top boxes (“STBs”) to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive content over the Internet and display the signal on a standard television. Shipping charges are included in total equipment revenue. Revenue is recognized generally upon shipment to the customer. The customer does not have any right of return on STBs. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered. If any of these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such time as all of the criteria are met.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments, such as money market funds, that have original maturities of less than three months.
Accounts receivable	Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. The Company maintains a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness; past transaction history with the customer; current economic industry trends; and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $190 and $385, respectively.
Inventory	Inventory Inventory consists of STBs, which are finished goods. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology and market conditions on its inventory-on-hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: Computer hardware 5 years Computer software 3 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life and lease term The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property, plant and equipment are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Intangible assets	Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization. Cost of intangible assets acquired through business combinations represents their fair market value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, which are as follows: Customer relationships 5-7 years Developed technology 5 years Trademarks 7 years The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the intangible assets are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each calendar year. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test is based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, there was no impairment loss.
Investment in affiliate	Investment in affiliate Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee’s board of directors and voting rights. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee's accounts are not reflected within the Company's consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss; however, the Company's share of the losses of the investee company is reflected under the caption “Equity in loss of affiliate” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLin TV’s accumulated losses, the Company’s investment in KyLin TV was reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded because the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLin TV. If KyLin TV becomes profitable in the future, the Company will resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the Company’s share of net losses not recognized during the period in which the equity method was suspended.
Income taxes	Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes Recognition” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. ASC 740 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater-than-fifty-percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance for classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740 requires that a liability created for unrecognized tax benefits be presented as a separate liability and not combined with deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company operates in a number of countries worldwide. Its income tax liability is therefore a consolidation of its tax liabilities in various locations. Its tax rate is affected by the profitability of its operations in various locations, the tax rates and taxation systems of the countries in which the Company operates, its tax policies and the impact of certain tax planning strategies which have been implemented. To determine its worldwide tax liability, the Company makes estimates of possible tax liabilities. Tax filings, positions and strategies are subject to review under local or international tax audit and the outcomes of such reviews are uncertain. In addition, these audits generally take place years after the period in which the tax provision in question was determined and it may take a substantial amount of time before the final outcome of any audit is known. Future tax audits could result in income tax liabilities that differ materially from the amounts recorded in our financial statements. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that it would be able to realize the benefit of some of its federal and state related deferred tax assets in the future. The Company based this conclusion on historical and projected operating performance, as well as its expectation that operations will not generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company increased the valuation allowance on a portion of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset by evaluating both positive and negative evidence that may exist. Any adjustment to the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded in the income statement for the period that the adjustment is determined to be required. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted into law. The Act provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that impact corporate taxation requirements, such as the reduction of the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21%, changes or limitations to certain tax deductions, implementing a territorial tax system, and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. On that same day, the SEC issued SAB 118 which gives the Company a “measurement period” to implement all the required changes imposed by this Act. The Company has made a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects within the tax provision and intend to refine this estimate as additional guidance, clarification, and analysis is available.
Foreign currency transactions	Foreign currency transactions The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. These transactional foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Financial instruments	Financial instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, due from/to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. The carrying amounts of such instruments approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term nature of these items. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company is exposed to credit risk arising from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations to the Company. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations on its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that corresponds with the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances.
Research and development	Research and development Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred and are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,327, $1,189
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments	Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments The Company accounts for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted to employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured and expensed as the warrants vest. Restricted stock unit awards give the holder the right to one share of common stock for each vested restricted stock unit. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period of these awards.
Deferred rent	Deferred rent Rent expense on non-cancellable leases containing known future scheduled rent increases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is accounted for as deferred rent. Landlord construction allowances and other such lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized on a straight-line basis as reductions to rent expense.
Segment	Segment The Company’s CEO is its chief operating decision maker. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue based on the type of product/service provided and by geographic region. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker for operations, operating results, and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. The Company has therefore determined that it has a single operating segment.
Recently issued accounting standards	Recently issued accounting standards Recently Adopted In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Under this amended guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement in the period in which the awards vest or are exercised. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified with other income tax cash flows in operating activities. The amended guidance also gives the option to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur and increases the threshold for awards that are partially settled in cash to qualify for equity classification. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company had historically estimated the number of forfeitures as part of its option valuation process and will continue to do so under the new guidance. No aspect of the guidance that requires retrospective adoption impacted the Company. Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and superseded most existing revenue recognition guidance. The main principle under this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue at the amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2014-09 allows for adoption either on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application, which will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 and its amendments on a modified retrospective basis. We have closely assessed the new guidance, including the interpretations by the FASB Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition, throughout 2017. We have concluded that the most significant changes will be the timing of revenue recognition related to our Consumer Electronics and MainConcept solutions. Under the current standard, the software license revenue related to these solutions is regularly recognized ratably over the service period when extended payment terms are offered to the customer. The customer contracts generally have one to three-year terms, with payments made quarterly or annually throughout the license period. Under the new standard, we will recognize software license revenue at the time the license is delivered. The cumulative-effect adjustment, related to our Consumer Electronics and MainConcept solutions, upon adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 is expected to decrease the opening balance of accumulated deficit by approximately $6.8 million, net of tax. Regarding our NeuLion Platform solution, we have concluded that ASU 2014-09's broad definition of variable consideration will require the Company to estimate certain variable payments and accelerate or defer the recognition of those payments to align the revenue recognized with the transfer of goods and services to the customer. While we do not expect this change to have a material impact on our revenues on an annual basis, since variable payments will all be recognized within the same contract year as the goods and services are transferred to the customer, we do expect that it will have an impact on our revenue in interim periods. The cumulative-effect adjustment, related to our NeuLion Platform solution, upon adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 is expected to increase the opening balance of accumulated deficit by approximately $1.3 million, net of tax. The Company has also identified and implemented changes to our accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls, as well as designed and implemented specific controls over our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on the Company, including the cumulative effect calculation, disclosure requirements and the collection of relevant data into the reporting process. While we are substantially complete with the process of quantifying the impacts that will result from applying the new guidance, our assessment will be finalized during the first quarter of 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842), which superseded previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which (i) significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model; and (ii) provides for recording credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities through an allowance account. The update also requires certain incremental disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
