Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (also referred to as “GAAP”) for annual reporting purposes or those made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected for a full year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are to, and amounts are presented in, U.S. dollars. Use of Management Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and affect results of operations and financial position in future periods. Significant uncertainty remains surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on the Company, as well as its customers, suppliers, and employees. While cinema and theme park operators in the United States and other parts of the world are in process of returning to “normal”, there continue to be spikes in COVID-19 cases and new variants in various parts of the world that could impact the pace of recovery in our markets. Accordingly, there continues to be a heightened potential for future reserves against trade receivables, inventory write downs and impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets and investments. In the current environment, assumptions about future financial and operational performance, supply chain pricing and availability and customer creditworthiness have greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect the valuation of the Company’s assets, both financial and non-financial. As an understanding of the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s customers and business develops, there is heightened potential for changes in these views over the remainder of 2021, and potentially beyond. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents amounts held in a collateral account for the Company’s corporate travel and purchasing credit card program. Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including overall customer credit quality, historical write-off experience and a specific analysis that projects the ultimate collectability of the account. As such, these factors may change over time causing the allowance level and bad debt expense to be adjusted accordingly. Investments The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments when it has significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments is reported under the line item captioned “equity method investment income (loss)” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss is recorded on a one quarter lag for all equity method investments. The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence (“Cost Method Investments”) are accounted for at the Company’s initial cost, minus any impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dividends on cost method investments received are recorded as income. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. Management reviewed the underlying net assets of the investees as of March 31, 2021 and determined that the Company’s proportionate economic interest in the investees indicate that the investments were not impaired. The carrying value of our equity method and cost method investments is reported as “investments” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Notes 3 and 7 contain additional information on our equity method and cost method investments. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: ● Level 1 – inputs to the valuation techniques are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ● Level 2 – inputs to the valuation techniques are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly ● Level 3 – inputs to the valuation techniques are unobservable for the assets or liabilities The following tables present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements are classified, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair values measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents $ 22,317 $ - $ - $ 22,317 Restricted cash 150 - - 150 Total $ 22,467 $ - $ - $ 22,467 Fair values measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,435 $ - $ - $ 4,435 Restricted cash 352 - - 352 Total $ 4,787 $ - $ - $ 4,787 The carrying values of all other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt reported in the consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the Company’s equity method investments was $20.6 million at March 31, 2021 (see Note 7). Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The effective date of the standard is annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The various amendments in the standard are applied on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis and prospective basis, depending on the amendment. The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” This ASU clarifies the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. The effective date of the standard is annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document to address stakeholder questions on the application of the lease accounting guidance for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance allows concessions related to the timing of payments, where the total consideration has not changed, to not be accounted for as lease modifications. Instead, any such concessions can be accounted for as if no change was made to the contract or as variable lease payments. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company received certain lease concessions in the form of rent deferrals during 2020. The Company chose to implement the policy election provided by the FASB to record rent concessions as if no modifications to leases contracts were made, and thus no changes to the lease obligations were recorded in respect to these concessions. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding deferred rent of $0.1 million, which will be paid over the remaining term of the leases.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	3. Discontinued Operations Convergent As part of a transaction that closed in February 2021, the Company divested its Convergent business segment. The Company’s Convergent business segment delivered digital signage solutions and related services to large multi-location organizations in the United States and Canada. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (together with the other related documents defined therein, the “Purchase Agreement”), and closed the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, with SageNet LLC (“SageNet”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a subsidiary of Ballantyne Strong sold 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (the “Equity Interests”) in Convergent, LLC (“Convergent”) to SageNet. The purchase price for the Equity Interests (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was (i) $15.0 million in cash and (ii) $2.5 million in the form of a subordinated promissory note delivered by SageNet in favor of the Company (the “SageNet Promissory Note”). Per the terms of the SageNet Promissory Note, the Company will receive twelve consecutive equal quarterly payments of principal, plus accrued interest thereon, commencing on March 31, 2022. The Company has elected to record the SageNet Promissory Note using its historical cost basis. Additionally, a portion of the Purchase Price was placed in escrow by SageNet, the release of which is contingent upon certain events and conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price is also subject to adjustment based on closing working capital of Convergent. As further consideration, SageNet also assumed approximately $5.7 million of third-party debt of Convergent, bringing the total enterprise value for Convergent’s equity interests to approximately $23.2 million. The Company recorded a gain of $14.9 million during the first quarter of 2021 related to the sale of Convergent. Strong Outdoor As part of transactions in May 2019 and August 2020, the Company divested its Strong Outdoor business segment. The Company’s Strong Outdoor business segment provided outdoor advertising and experiential marketing to advertising agencies and corporate accounts, primarily in New York City. On May 21, 2019, Strong Digital Media, LLC (“SDM”), an indirect subsidiary of Ballantyne Strong, entered into a Taxicab Advertising Collaboration Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”) and a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) with Firefly Systems, Inc. (“Firefly”), pursuant to which SDM agreed to make available to Firefly 300 digital taxi tops. Additionally, the parties agreed to coordinate the fulfilling of SDM’s agreements with the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, Inc. (“MTBOT”) and Creative Mobile Media, LLC (“CMM”), each dated February 8, 2018. Firefly agreed to fulfill the digital taxi top advertising obligations under the MTBOT agreement and CMM agreement, and SDM agreed to fulfill the non-digital taxi top advertising obligations under the MTBOT agreement and CMM agreement. Ballantyne Strong is a party to the Unit Purchase Agreement and agreed to guarantee the payment obligations of SDM under the Commercial Agreement. As consideration for entering into these agreements, Ballantyne Strong received $4.8 million worth of Firefly’s Series A-2 preferred shares (the “Firefly Series A-2 Shares”). The Firefly Series A-2 Shares, including those subsequently issued pursuant to an earn-out provision, were subject to a repurchase option for a period of three years to cover SDM’s indemnity obligations and other post-closing covenants under the Commercial Agreement and the Unit Purchase Agreement. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined and described below), Firefly no longer has an option to repurchase any of the Firefly Series A-2 Shares held by SDM. The 300 digital tops the Company has made available to Firefly are subject to a master equipment lease agreement which the Company entered into during 2017. Pursuant to the master lease agreement and the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company will remain the primary obligor until such time as the lease expires. In addition, of the $4.8 million worth of Firefly Series A-2 Shares received, $1.2 million worth of such shares were eligible for repurchase by Firefly if the Company did not exercise the purchase option contained within the master lease agreement. Accordingly, the Company had deferred recognizing an investment related to these Firefly Series A-2 Shares eligible for repurchase until such time it was reasonably certain the Company would exercise the purchase option. The transaction, in effect, transferred control of the underlying asset to Firefly. As additional consideration for the right to use the digital taxi tops, Firefly agreed to pay for certain of Company’s operating expenses associated with the non-digital taxi tops. The Company concluded the payments that Firefly made on its behalf were variable payments and were not included in the calculation of the selling profit. Therefore, the Company recorded the benefit and the related operating expenses in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments were based occurred. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined and described below) the Taxicab Advertising Collaboration Agreement dated May 21, 2019 was terminated, which relieved the Company of its obligation to exercise the purchase option contained within the master lease agreement. As a result, the Company recognized an additional $1.2 million investment during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the Firefly Series A-2 Shares that were previously eligible for repurchase by Firefly. The Unit Purchase Agreement contained an earnout provision pursuant to which SDM obtained additional Firefly Series A-2 Shares. The earnout period was from May 22, 2019 through June 30, 2020. SDM was eligible to earn additional Firefly Series A-2 Shares equivalent to the cash collections under certain digital top contracts that were in place at the closing of the transaction. Ballantyne Strong received the shares earned pursuant to the earnout provision on August 3, 2020. In connection with the additional Firefly Series A-2 Shares that were received pursuant to the earnout, Ballantyne Strong recorded an additional $0.7 million gain on the Firefly transaction during the year ended December 31, 2020. On August 3, 2020, SDM entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Firefly, pursuant to which SDM agreed to sell certain assets primarily related to its Strong Outdoor operating business to Firefly and continue to make available 300 digital taxi tops to Firefly. SDM retained certain accounts receivable as well as liabilities other than executory obligations under transferred contracts to the extent such liabilities are required to be performed following closing or constitute certain deferred revenue. The transaction closed on the same day. As consideration for entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, SDM received approximately $0.6 million in cash consideration and approximately $3.2 million worth of Firefly Series A-3 preferred shares (the “Firefly Series A-3 Shares”). In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, (i) SDM received approximately $1.1 million worth of Firefly’s Series A-2 Shares, which constituted the remaining shares to be issued pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement; (ii) Firefly no longer had an option to repurchase any of the Series A-2 Shares held by SDM; (iii) all accounts payable to Firefly were cancelled and forgiven; and (iv) the Commercial Agreement dated May 21, 2019 was terminated, which relieved Ballantyne Strong of its obligation to exercise the purchase option contained within the master lease agreement. Ballantyne Strong recorded a gain of approximately $5.3 million during the third quarter of 2020 as a result of the transaction. As of March 31, 2021, SDM held approximately $5.7 million worth of Firefly Series A-2 Shares, which included the shares issued to SDM as part of the May 2019 transaction and $7.4 million worth of Firefly Series A-3 Shares. As contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, Firefly Series A-2 Shares are held by SDM. Additionally, the previously issued Firefly Series A-2 Shares held by Fundamental Global Venture Partners, LP (“FGVP”), an investment fund that was managed by Fundamental Global Investors, LLC in which SDM was the sole limited partner, were transferred to SDM. The Asset Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, SDM agreed to indemnify Firefly for excluded liabilities related to the transferred business. Ballantyne Strong entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with Firefly, pursuant to which Ballantyne Strong agreed to provide certain support services to Firefly, including remote equipment monitoring and diagnostics of screens, until no later than December 31, 2022, and to provide transition advertising instruction and integration services, content management services, ad-hoc reporting and analysis, wireless service, advertising content management services, and mapping data until no later than six months from closing. As consideration for entering into the Master Services Agreement, Ballantyne Strong received $2.0 million in cash consideration.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	4. Revenue The Company accounts for revenue using the following steps: ● Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; ● Identify the performance obligations in the contract; ● Determine the transaction price; ● Allocate the transaction price to the identified performance obligations; and ● Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company combines contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine whether they are distinct, whether the items have value on a standalone basis, and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of their standalone selling price. The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers, when available, or an estimated selling price using a cost-plus margin approach. The Company estimates the amount of total contract consideration it expects to receive for variable arrangements by determining the most likely amount it expects to earn from the arrangement based on the expected quantities of services it expects to provide and the contractual pricing based on those quantities. The Company only includes a portion of variable consideration in the transaction price when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company considers the sensitivity of the estimate, its relationship and experience with the client and variable services being performed, the range of possible revenue amounts and the magnitude of the variable consideration to the overall arrangement. As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company does not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company recognizes contract assets or unbilled receivables related to revenue recognized for services completed but not yet invoiced to the clients. Unbilled receivables are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company has an unconditional right to contract consideration. A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when the Company invoices clients, or receives cash, in advance of performing the related services under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the Company has satisfied the related performance obligation. The Company defers costs to acquire contracts, including commissions, incentives and payroll taxes, if they are incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract with a term exceeding one year. Deferred contract costs are reported within other assets and amortized to selling expense over the contract term, which generally ranges from one to five years. The Company has elected to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a term of less than one year as a selling expense when incurred. The Company did not have any deferred contract costs as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by major source and by operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Strong Entertainment Other Total Strong Entertainment Other Total Screen system sales $ 2,047 $ - $ 2,047 $ 2,956 $ - $ 2,956 Digital equipment sales 1,175 - 1,175 1,649 - 1,649 Extended warranty sales 32 - 32 159 - 159 Other product sales 274 - 274 468 - 468 Total product sales 3,528 - 3,528 5,232 - 5,232 Field maintenance and monitoring services 863 - 863 1,804 - 1,804 Installation services 71 - 71 257 - 257 Other service revenues 10 300 310 20 101 121 Total service revenues 944 300 1,244 2,081 101 2,182 Total $ 4,472 $ 300 $ 4,772 $ 7,313 $ 101 $ 7,414 Screen system sales The Company typically recognizes revenue on the sale of its screen systems when control of the screen is transferred to the customer, usually at time of shipment. However, revenue is recognized upon delivery for certain international shipments with longer shipping transit time because control does not transfer to the customer until delivery. For contracts that are long-term in nature, the Company believes that the use of the percentage-of-completion method is appropriate as the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues, and contract costs. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recorded based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract. The cost of freight and shipping to the customer is recognized in cost of sales at the time of transfer of control to the customer. Digital equipment sales The Company recognizes revenue on sales of digital equipment when the control of the equipment is transferred, which occurs at the time of shipment from the Company’s warehouse or drop-shipment from a third party. The cost of freight and shipping to the customer is recognized in cost of sales at the time of transfer of control to the customer. Field maintenance and monitoring services The Company sells service contracts that provide maintenance and monitoring services to its Strong Entertainment customers. These contracts are generally 12 months in length. Revenue related to service contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. In addition to selling service contracts, the Company also performs discrete time and materials-based maintenance and repair work for customers in the Strong Entertainment segment. Revenue related to time and materials-based maintenance and repair work is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation has been fully satisfied. Installation services The Company performs installation services for its Strong Entertainment customers and recognizes revenue upon completion of the installations. Extended warranty sales The Company sells extended warranties to its Strong Entertainment customers. When the Company is the primary obligor, revenue is recognized on a gross basis ratably over the term of the extended warranty. In third party extended warranty sales, the Company is not the primary obligor, and revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of the sale. Timing of Revenue Recognition The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by the timing of transfer of goods or services to the customer for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Strong Entertainment Other Total Strong Entertainment Other Total Point in time $ 3,756 $ 4 $ 3,760 $ 5,715 $ 4 $ 5,719 Over time 716 296 1,012 1,598 97 1,695 Total $ 4,472 $ 300 $ 4,772 $ 7,313 $ 101 $ 7,414 At March 31 2021, the unearned revenue amount associated with long-term projects that the Company uses the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenue, maintenance and monitoring services and extended warranty sales in which the Company is the primary obligor was $2.0 million. The Company expects to recognize $1.3 million of unearned revenue amounts during the remainder of 2021 and $0.7 million during 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Common Share	5. Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share would be computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to potential common shares from dilutive stock options and certain non-vested shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units. However, because the Company reported losses from continuing operations in all periods presented, there were no differences between average shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The following table summarizes the weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 16,835 14,625 Dilutive effect of stock options and certain non-vested restricted stock units - - Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 16,835 14,625 Options to purchase 514,500 and 1,057,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for each period. An additional 142,557 and 86,725 common stock equivalents related to options and restricted stock awards were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net losses per share.

(“FGF”) (formerly 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc.) is a reinsurance and investment management holding company focused on opportunistic collateralized and loss capped reinsurance, while allocating capital to special purpose acquisition companies (each, a “SPAC”) and SPAC sponsor-related businesses. In September 2020, FGF entered into an agreement pursuant to which FGF purchased 1.1 million shares of its outstanding common stock from an existing shareholder. The purchase of the 1.1 million shares decreased the number of outstanding shares of FGF and increased the Company’s ownership interest to approximately 21%. The Company’s Chairman, D. Kyle Cerminara, is the chairman of the board of directors of FGF. As of March 31, 2021, Mr. Cerminara was affiliated with entities that, when combined with the Company’s ownership in FGF, own greater than 50% of FGF. Since FGF does not depend on the Company for continuing financial support to maintain operations, the Company has determined that FGF is not a variable interest entity, and therefore, the Company is not required to determine the primary beneficiary of FGF for potential consolidation. The Company did not receive dividends from FGF during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. Based on quoted market prices, the market value of the Company’s ownership in FGF was $4.8 million at March 31, 2021. GreenFirst Forest Products, Inc. GreenFirst Forest Products Inc. (“GreenFirst”) (formerly Itasca Capital Ltd.) is a publicly-traded Canadian company focused on environmentally sustainable forest management and lumber production. The Company’s Chairman, Mr. Cerminara, is chairman of the board of directors of GreenFirst, and the Company’s former Co-Chairman, Lewis M. Johnson, is also a member of the board of directors of GreenFirst. These board seats, combined with the Company’s 29.6% ownership of GreenFirst, provide the Company with significant influence over GreenFirst, but not a controlling interest. The Company did not receive dividends from GreenFirst during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. Based on quoted market prices, the market value of the Company’s ownership in GreenFirst was $15.7 million at March 31, 2021. On April 12, 2021, GreenFirst announced that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “GreenFirst Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which it will acquire a portfolio of forest and paper product assets (the “Assets”) at a purchase price of approximately US$214 million. GreenFirst announced that it intends to file a prospectus to conduct a backstopped rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Assets. Pursuant to its announcement, GreenFirst intends to issue three rights (each a “Right”) for each of its outstanding shares of common stock (each a “Common Share”) with each Right being exercisable, at a subscription price of CDN$1.50, to acquire a subscription receipt (each a “Subscription Receipt”). Each Subscription Receipt would, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and without any further consideration, automatically be exchanged into a Common Share. On April 10, 2021, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment”) with GreenFirst pursuant to which the Company agreed to participate in the Rights Offering expected to be conducted by GreenFirst. By entering into the Commitment, the Company committed to exercise the Canadian dollar equivalent of approximately US$1.6 million of the Rights offered in the Rights Offering. The Commitment will terminate, and the Company will be released from its obligations under the Commitment if the Rights Offering is not completed by September 30, 2021, or such later date as agreed to between GreenFirst and the purchaser committed to backstop the Rights Offering. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s retained earnings included an accumulated deficit from its equity method investees of approximately $4.8 million. The summarized financial information presented below reflects the financial information of the Company’s equity method investees for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, consistent with the Company’s recognition of the results of its equity method investments on a one-quarter lag (in thousands): For the three months ended December 31, 2020 2019 Revenue (1) $ (243 ) $ 4,340 Operating (loss) income $ (3,178 ) $ 3,977 Net (loss) income $ (3,181 ) $ 8,121 (1) FGF records realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in net investment income (loss), which is included in the revenue line above.

In addition, on August 3, 2020, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Strong/MDI Screen Systems, Inc. (“Strong/MDI”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Firefly, pursuant to which Strong/MDI agreed to purchase $4.0 million worth of Firefly Series A-3 Shares. The Company and its affiliated entities have designated Kyle Cerminara, Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and a principal of the Company’s largest shareholder, to Firefly’s board of directors.

Amounts outstanding under the line of credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the prime rate established by the lender. Amounts outstanding under the installment loans bear interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 0.5% and are payable in monthly installments, including interest, over their respective borrowing periods. The lender may also demand repayment of the installment loans at any time. The Strong/MDI credit facilities are secured by a lien on Strong/MDI’s Quebec, Canada facility and substantially all of Strong/MDI’s assets. The credit agreement requires Strong/MDI to maintain a ratio of liabilities to “effective equity” (tangible stockholders’ equity, less amounts receivable from affiliates and equity method investments) not exceeding 2 to 1, a current ratio (excluding amounts due from related parties) of at least 1.5 to 1 and minimum “effective equity” of CDN$8.0 million. As of March 31, 2021, there was CDN$3.6 million, or approximately $2.9 million, of principal outstanding on the 20-year installment loan, which bears variable interest at 2.95%. As of March 31, 2021, there was CDN$0.5 million, or approximately $0.4 million, of principal outstanding on the 5-year installment loan, which also bears variable interest at 2.95%.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	11. Leases The Company and its subsidiaries lease plant and office facilities and equipment under operating and finance leases expiring through 2028. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Certain of the leases contain extension options; however, the Company has not included such options as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities because it does not expect to extend the leases. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration. The Company elected to not apply the recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases,” to leases of all classes of underlying assets that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Instead, lease payments for such short-term leases are recognized in operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company elected, as a lessee, for all classes of underlying assets, to not separate nonlease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. The following tables present the Company’s lease costs and other lease information (dollars in thousands): Lease cost Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 242 $ 282 Interest on lease liabilities 66 95 Operating lease cost 233 304 Short-term lease cost 15 14 Sublease income (72 ) (97 ) Net lease cost $ 484 $ 598 Other information March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from finance leases $ 66 $ 95 Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 211 $ 274 Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 242 $ 212 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities $ - $ - Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ - $ - As of March 31, 2021 Weighted-average remaining lease term - finance leases (years) 1.7 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (years) 7.0 Weighted-average discount rate - finance leases 13.0 % Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 5.0 % The following table presents a maturity analysis of the Company’s finance and operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands): Operating Leases Finance Leases Remainder of 2021 $ 611 $ 922 2022 706 1,168 2023 656 - 2024 669 - 2025 683 - Thereafter 1,766 - Total lease payments 5,091 2,090 Less: Amount representing interest (812 ) (226 ) Present value of lease payments 4,279 1,864 Less: Current maturities (607 ) (1,047 ) Lease obligations, net of current portion $ 3,672 $ 817 On March 2, 2021, the Company received a notice of default and demand (the “Default Notice”) from Huntington Technology Finance, Inc. (“Huntington”). The Default Notice alleged the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the Master Equipment Lease Agreement dated May 19, 2017 (the “Lease Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company’s subsidiaries lease certain digital taxi top advertising signs. The Company has made all required payments to Huntington during the term of the Lease Agreement and expects to continue to make monthly payments on a timely basis. The Default Notice did not allege that the Company has failed to make any payment or incurred any economic or payment default. Rather, the Default Notice alleged that the Company violated certain technical covenants in the Lease Agreement. Huntington demanded accelerated payment of the outstanding principal balance plus lessor profit and a fair market value buyout of the assets under lease within ten days of the receipt of the Default Notice. The Company disputed Huntington’s assertion that an event of default had occurred under the Lease Agreement and believes that many of the assertions made in the Default Notice are false, and that the claims made in the Default Notice are therefore baseless. Accordingly, on March 3, 2021, the Company provided a written response to Huntington detailing the Company’s position that Huntington’s allegations of an event of default under the Lease Agreement are unfounded, and asserting the Company’s good faith belief that the Company has abided by the terms, conditions, and covenants of the Lease Agreement. In order to resolve the situation and avoid the potential costs of a lengthy legal dispute, on April 2, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement of Forbearance and Conditional Sale (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Huntington and CCA Financial, LLC. The amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Settlement Agreement include only payments contractually due under the Lease Agreement and do not include any additional penalties, interest, or liquidation damages. The Company agreed to accelerate payment of the $2.1 million remaining payments contractually due under the Lease Agreement and to exercise its option to purchase the leased assets for $1.0 million. The $2.1 million plus sales tax owed under the Lease Agreement was paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and the lease equipment buyout will be paid in twelve monthly installments from June 1, 2021 to May 1, 2022. Upon payment in full, the Lease Agreement and all obligations thereunder will terminate.

Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A cumulative loss in a particular tax jurisdiction in recent years is a significant piece of evidence with respect to the realizability that is difficult to overcome. Based on the available objective evidence, including recent updates to the taxing jurisdictions generating income, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance should be recorded against all of the Company’s U.S. tax jurisdiction deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold its Convergent business segment. As a result, this business segment is categorized as discontinued operations for the periods presented. The Company has sufficient net operating losses to offset Federal taxable income/loss from these discontinued operations as well as the tax effects related to the gain on sale of discontinued operations. State income tax expense related to the operations and sale of this entity has been allocated to discontinued operations. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 provides for a territorial tax system, which began in 2018. It includes the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision. The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. As a result of the GILTI provisions, the Company’s inclusion of taxable income was incorporated into the overall net operating loss and valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and comparative March 31, 2020, as well as December 31, 2020. Changes in tax laws may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act made significant changes to Federal tax laws, including certain changes that are retroactive to the 2019 tax year. The effects of these changes relate to deferred tax assets and net operating losses; all of which are offset by valuation allowance. There were no material income tax consequences of this enacted legislation on the reporting period of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to possible examinations not yet initiated for Federal purposes for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. In most cases, the Company is subject to possible examinations by state or local jurisdictions based on the particular jurisdiction’s statute of limitations.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock Compensation	13. Stock Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based on estimated grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense included in selling and administrative expenses approximated $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (“2017 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders and provides the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with the discretion to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock- based awards and cash-based awards. Vesting terms vary with each grant and may be subject to vesting upon a “change in control” of the Company. On December 17, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2017 Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 1,975,000 shares and (ii) extend the expiration date of the 2017 Plan by approximately two years, until October 27, 2029. As of March 31, 2021, 2,431,856 shares were available for issuance under the amended and restated 2017 Plan. Stock Options The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,009,500 $ 3.99 7.3 $ 51 Granted - Exercised - Forfeited (142,000 ) 4.14 Expired (178,000 ) 5.05 Outstanding at March 31, 2021 689,500 $ 3.69 7.3 $ 144 Exercisable at March 31, 2021 343,000 $ 4.69 6.2 $ 7 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total that would have been received by the option holders if all in-the-money options had been exercised and sold on the date indicated. As of March 31, 2021, 346,500 stock option awards were non-vested. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was approximately $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years. Restricted Stock Units The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at December 31, 2020 604,687 $ 2.38 Granted 78,493 2.01 Shares vested (212,699 ) 3.12 Shares forfeited - Non-vested at March 31, 2021 470,481 $ 2.17 As of March 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock unit awards was approximately $1.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations	14. Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations Litigation The Company is involved, from time to time, in certain legal disputes in the ordinary course of business operations. No such disputes, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. The Company is named as a defendant in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. A majority of the cases involve product liability claims based principally on allegations of past distribution of commercial lighting products containing wiring that may have contained asbestos. Each case names dozens of corporate defendants in addition to the Company. In the Company’s experience, a large percentage of these types of claims have never been substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. The Company has not suffered any adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims and intends to continue to defend these lawsuits. When appropriate, the Company may settle certain claims. The Company does not expect the resolution of these cases to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Concentrations The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 56% of consolidated net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Trade accounts receivable from these customers represented approximately 35% of net consolidated receivables at March 31, 2021. None of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of both its consolidated net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and its net consolidated receivables as of March 31, 2021. While the Company believes its relationships with such customers are stable, most arrangements are made by purchase order and are terminable at will by either party. A significant decrease or interruption in business from the Company’s significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company could also be adversely affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency rates and weak economic and political conditions in each of the countries in which the Company sells its products. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable and the SageNet Promissory Note. The Company sells product to a large number of customers in many different geographic regions. To minimize credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (also referred to as “GAAP”) for annual reporting purposes or those made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected for a full year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are to, and amounts are presented in, U.S. dollars.
Use of Management Estimates	Use of Management Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and affect results of operations and financial position in future periods. Significant uncertainty remains surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on the Company, as well as its customers, suppliers, and employees. While cinema and theme park operators in the United States and other parts of the world are in process of returning to “normal”, there continue to be spikes in COVID-19 cases and new variants in various parts of the world that could impact the pace of recovery in our markets. Accordingly, there continues to be a heightened potential for future reserves against trade receivables, inventory write downs and impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets and investments. In the current environment, assumptions about future financial and operational performance, supply chain pricing and availability and customer creditworthiness have greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect the valuation of the Company’s assets, both financial and non-financial. As an understanding of the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s customers and business develops, there is heightened potential for changes in these views over the remainder of 2021, and potentially beyond.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents amounts held in a collateral account for the Company’s corporate travel and purchasing credit card program.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including overall customer credit quality, historical write-off experience and a specific analysis that projects the ultimate collectability of the account. As such, these factors may change over time causing the allowance level and bad debt expense to be adjusted accordingly.
Investments	Investments The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments when it has significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments is reported under the line item captioned “equity method investment income (loss)” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss is recorded on a one quarter lag for all equity method investments. The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Investments in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence (“Cost Method Investments”) are accounted for at the Company’s initial cost, minus any impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Dividends on cost method investments received are recorded as income. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. Management reviewed the underlying net assets of the investees as of March 31, 2021 and determined that the Company’s proportionate economic interest in the investees indicate that the investments were not impaired. The carrying value of our equity method and cost method investments is reported as “investments” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Notes 3 and 7 contain additional information on our equity method and cost method investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: ● Level 1 – inputs to the valuation techniques are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ● Level 2 – inputs to the valuation techniques are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly ● Level 3 – inputs to the valuation techniques are unobservable for the assets or liabilities The following tables present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements are classified, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair values measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents $ 22,317 $ - $ - $ 22,317 Restricted cash 150 - - 150 Total $ 22,467 $ - $ - $ 22,467 Fair values measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,435 $ - $ - $ 4,435 Restricted cash 352 - - 352 Total $ 4,787 $ - $ - $ 4,787 The carrying values of all other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt reported in the consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the Company’s equity method investments was $20.6 million at March 31, 2021 (see Note 7).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The effective date of the standard is annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The various amendments in the standard are applied on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis and prospective basis, depending on the amendment. The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” This ASU clarifies the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. The effective date of the standard is annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document to address stakeholder questions on the application of the lease accounting guidance for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance allows concessions related to the timing of payments, where the total consideration has not changed, to not be accounted for as lease modifications. Instead, any such concessions can be accounted for as if no change was made to the contract or as variable lease payments. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company received certain lease concessions in the form of rent deferrals during 2020. The Company chose to implement the policy election provided by the FASB to record rent concessions as if no modifications to leases contracts were made, and thus no changes to the lease obligations were recorded in respect to these concessions. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding deferred rent of $0.1 million, which will be paid over the remaining term of the leases.
