PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Cinedigm Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). We are (i) a leading distributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles and episodes released across digital, physical, and home and mobile entertainment platforms as well as (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets on over 12,000 domestic and foreign movie screens.

Since our inception, we have played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to our pioneering role in transitioning over 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have become a leading distributor of independent content, both through organic growth and acquisitions. We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, Televisa, ZDF, Shout! Factory, NFL, NHL and Scholastic as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, PlayStation, and cable video-on-demand ("VOD") and (ii) packaged distribution of DVD and Blu-ray discs to wholesalers and retailers with sales coverage to over 60,000 brick and mortar storefronts, including Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Amazon. In addition, we operate a growing number of branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") entertainment channels, including Docurama, CONtv and Dove Channel.

and entertainment group (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States and Canada, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segment provides fee-based support to approximately 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is a market leader in: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content, and (2) branded and curated OTT digital network business providing entertainment channels, applications and distribution services.

We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, our Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operates independently from our Content & Entertainment business. As of March 31, 2018 , we had approximately $40.2 million of non-recourse outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business. We also have approximately $33.8 million of outstanding debt principal, as of March 31, 2018 that is attributable to our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.

CONTENT & ENTERTAINMENT

Content Distribution and our OTT Entertainment Channels and Applications

Cinedigm Entertainment Group, or CEG, is a leading independent content distributor in the United States as well as an innovator and leader in the quickly evolving OTT digital network business. We are unique among most independent distributors because of our direct relationships with thousands of physical retail locations and digital platforms, including Walmart, Target, iTunes, Netflix and Amazon, as well as the national Video on Demand platforms. Our library of films and television episodes encompass award winning documentaries from Docurama Films®, acclaimed independent films, festival picks and a wide range of content from brand name suppliers, including Scholastic, NFL, Shout! Factory and Hallmark.

Additionally, we are leveraging our infrastructure, technology, content and distribution expertise to rapidly and cost effectively build and expand our OTT digital network business. Our first channel, Docurama, launched in May 2014 as an advertising supported video on demand service ("AVOD") across most Internet connected devices and now contains hundreds of documentary films to stream. In December 2015, we successfully transitioned Docurama to a subscription video on demand ("SVOD") service with its launch on Amazon Prime. In March 2015, we launched CONtv in partnership with Wizard World, Inc., a fandom and pop culture entertainment targeted lifestyle channel and "Freemium" service with both AVOD and SVOD components. Our Freemium business model provides users with free content and the ability to upgrade to a selection of premium services by paying subscription fees. CONtv is one of the largest Freemium OTT channels available in terms of hours of content, with over 3,000 hours of film and television episodes, including original programs and live coverage of Comic-Con and pop culture events from around the country. In the fall of 2015, we introduced our third OTT channel, Dove Entertainment Channel, which is a family entertainment service providing high-quality film and television programs approved by the Dove Foundation. In April 2018, we launched two channels: Wham Network, which is an entertainment, news and lifestyle channel targeting the eSports industry; and COMBAT GO, a 24/7, mixed martial arts, worldwide combat channel. We now have a total of five networks distributed, and four to five more in our development pipeline slated to roll out over the next 12 months.

We distribute our OTT content in two distinct ways: direct to consumer, through major application platforms such as the web, iOS, Android, Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Fire, Vizio, and Samsung; and through third party distributors of content on emerging platforms such as Amazon Prime, Twitch, Xumo and Sling/ Dish.

CEG has focused its activities in the areas of: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content, and (2) branded and curated over-the-top OTT digital network business providing entertainment channels and applications. With these complementary entertainment distribution capabilities, we believe that we are capitalizing on the key drivers of value that we believe are critical to success in content distribution going forward. Our CEG segment holds direct relationships with thousands of physical storefronts and digital retailers, including Walmart, Target, iTunes, Netflix, and Amazon, as well as all the national cable and satellite television VOD platforms.

Our Strategy

Direct to consumer digital distribution of film and television content over the Internet is rapidly growing. We believe that our large library of film and television episodes, long-standing relationships with digital platforms, up-to-date technologies and four years of experience operating OTT channels, will allow us to continue to build a diversified portfolio of narrowcast OTT channels that generate recurring revenue streams from advertising, merchandising and subscriptions. We plan to launch niche channels that make use of our existing library of titles, while partnering with strong brands that bring name recognition, marketing support and an existing customer base for new channel opportunities.

Rapid changes in the entertainment landscape require that we continually refine our strategy to adapt to new technologies and consumer behaviors. For example, we have added acquisitions of home entertainment content to focus on long-term partnerships with producers of high quality, cast-driven, genre content, to our traditional catalog-based titles business. In recent years, we acquired the distribution rights to a variety of new and original films. In addition, we have accelerated our efforts to be a leader in the OTT digital network business, where we can leverage our existing infrastructure and library, in partnership with well-known brands, to distribute our content direct-to-consumers.

We believe that we are well positioned to succeed in the OTT channel business for the following key reasons:


•	Four years of history operating OTT channels with millions of downloads, hundreds of thousands of registered users, and hundreds of millions of discrete data points on our customer’s behavior and preferences,


•	The depth and breadth of our almost 50,000 title film and television episode library,


•	Our digital assets and deep, long-standing relationships as launch partners that cover the major digital platforms and devices,


•	Our marketing expertise,


•	Our flexible releasing strategies, which differ from larger entertainment companies that need to protect their legacy businesses,


•	Our strengthened capital base, and


•	Our experienced management team

Intellectual Property

We own certain copyrights, trademarks and Internet domain names in connection with the Content & Entertainment business. We view these proprietary rights as valuable assets. We maintain registrations, where appropriate, to protect them and monitor them on an ongoing basis.

Customers

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 , two customers, Walmart and Amazon, represented 10% or more of CEG's revenues and Walmart represented approximately 10% of our consolidated revenues.

Competition

Numerous companies are engaged in various forms of producing and distributing independent movies and alternative content. These competitors may have significantly greater financial, marketing and managerial resources than we do, may have generated greater revenue and may be better known than we are at this time.

Competitors to our Content & Entertainment segment are as follows:


•	Entertainment One (eOne) Ltd.


•	IFC Entertainment


•	Lionsgate Entertainment


•	Magnolia Pictures


•	Pure Flix


•	RLJ Entertainment, Inc.


•	Warner Brothers Digital Networks


•	AMC Networks

DEPLOYMENT

Our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments consist of the following:



Operations of:		Products and services provided:
Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC (“Phase 1 DC”)		Financing vehicles and administrators for 3,717 Systems installed nationwide in Phase 1 DC's deployment to theatrical exhibitors. We retain ownership of the Systems and the residual cash flows related to the Systems after the repayment of all non-recourse debt at the expiration of exhibitor, master license agreements. We are no longer earning a significant portion of virtual print fees ("VPFs") revenues from certain major studios on all of such systems.
Access Digital Cinema Phase II Corp. (“Phase 2 DC”)		Financing vehicles and administrators for our 7,903 Systems installed in the second digital cinema deployment and international deployments, through Phase 2 DC. We retain no ownership of the residual cash flows and digital cinema equipment after the completion of cost recoupment and at the expiration of the exhibitor master license agreements.

In June 2005, we formed our Phase I Deployment segment in order to purchase up to 4,000 Systems under an amended framework agreement with Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”). As of March 31, 2018 , Phase I Deployment had 3,717 Systems installed.

In October 2007, we formed our Phase II Deployment segment for the administration of up to 10,000 additional Systems. As of March 31, 2018 , Phase II Deployment had 7,903 of such Systems installed.

Our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments own and license Systems to theatrical exhibitors and collect VPFs from motion picture studios and distributors, as well as alternative content fees ("ACFs") from alternative content providers and theatrical exhibitors, when content is shown on exhibitors' screens. We have licensed the necessary software and technology solutions to the exhibitor and have facilitated the industry's transition from analog (film) to digital cinema. As part of the Phase I Deployment of our Systems, we have agreements with nine motion picture studios and certain smaller independent studios and exhibitors, allowing us to collect VPFs and ACFs when content is shown in theatres, in exchange for having facilitated and financed the deployment of Systems. Phase 1 DC has agreements with 20 theatrical exhibitors that license our Systems in order to show digital content distributed by the motion picture studios and other providers, including Content & Entertainment, which is described below.

Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certain distributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31, 2018 , all of the Systems in our Phase I Deployment segment ceased to earn a significant portion VPF revenue from these certain distributors. We expect to continue to earn VPFs from other distributors and ancillary revenue from the Phase I Deployment Systems through December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financial statements. The expected reduction in VPF revenue on our Phase I Deployment systems is scheduled to approximately coincide with the conclusion of certain of our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, we expect that reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations will partially offset reduced VPF revenue.

Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December 2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms, or; (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair-market-value.

Our Phase II Deployment segment has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with eight motion picture studios, and certain smaller independent studios and exhibitors, to distribute digital movie releases to exhibitors equipped with our Systems, for which we and our wholly owned, non-consolidated subsidiary Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC ("CDF2 Holdings") earn VPFs. As of March 31, 2018 , our Phase II Deployment segment also entered into master license agreements with 327 exhibitors covering 7,903 screens, whereby the exhibitors agreed to install our Systems. As of March 31, 2018, we had 7,903 Phase 2 DC Systems installed, including 5,400 screens under the exhibitor-buyer structure (“Exhibitor-Buyer”), 1,050 screens covering 12 exhibitors through non-recourse financing provided by KBC Bank NV (“KBC”), 1,431 screens covering 23 exhibitors through CDF2, and 22 screens under other arrangements with two exhibitors.

Exhibitors paid us an installation fee of up to $2.0 thousand per screen out of the VPFs collected by our Services segment. We manage the billing and collection of VPFs and remit to exhibitors all VPFs collected, less an administrative fee of approximately 10% . For Phase 2 DC Systems we own and finance on a non-recourse basis, we typically received a similar installation fee of up to $2.0 thousand per screen and an ongoing administrative fee of approximately 10% of VPFs collected. We have recorded no debt, property and equipment, financing costs or depreciation in connection with Systems covered under the Exhibitor-Buyer Structure and CDF2 Holdings.

VPFs are earned pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable to our Phase I and Phase II deployment businesses according to fixed fee schedules, when movies distributed by studios are displayed in movie theatres using our installed Systems. One VPF is payable to us upon the initial booking of a movie, for every movie title displayed per System. Therefore, the amount of VPF revenue that we earn depends on the number of unique movie titles released and displayed using our Systems. Our Phase II Deployment segment earns VPF revenues only for Systems that it owns.

Our Phase II Deployment agreements with distributors require payment of VPFs for ten years from the date that each system is installed; however, we may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by us have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs,” as defined, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the four-year roll-out period and thereafter. Furthermore, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable to us by the studios. Cash flows, net of expenses, received by our Phase II Deployment business, following the achievement of cost recoupment, must be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment.

Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject to earlier achievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems. Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end by December 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.

Customers

Phase I and Phase II Deployment customers are mainly motion picture studios and theatrical exhibitors. For the year ended March 31, 2018, four (4) customers, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Disney Worldwide Services and Universal Pictures, each represented 10% or more of Phase 2 DC's revenues and together generated 47% of Phase II consolidated revenues. Two (2) customers, Warner Brothers and Lionsgate comprised more than 10% of Phase 2 accounts receivable. One (1) customer, Lionsgate, represented more than 10% of Phase 1 DC revenue and one (1) customer, Open Road, comprised more than 10% of Phase 1 accounts receivable. No single Phase I or Phase II customer comprised more than 10% of our consolidated revenue or accounts receivable.

Seasonality

Revenues earned by our Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the winter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition; however, has become less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

SERVICES

Our Services segment provides monitoring, billing, collection, verification and other management services to Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC as well as to exhibitor-buyers who purchase their own equipment. Our Services segment provides such services to the 3,717 screens in the Phase I Deployment for a monthly service fee equal to 5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC and an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. The Services segment also provides services to the 7,903 Phase II Systems deployed, for which we typically receive a monthly fee of approximately 10% of the VPFs earned by Phase 2 DC. The total Phase II service fees are subject to an annual limitation under the terms of our agreements with motion picture studios and are determined based upon the respective Exhibitor-Buyer Structure, KBC or CDF2 agreements. Unpaid service fees in any period remain an obligation to Phase 2 DC in the cost recoupment framework. Such fees are not recognized as income or accrued as an asset on our balance sheet given the uncertainty of the receipt and the timing thereof as future movie release and

bookings are not known. Service fees are accrued and recognized only on deployed Phase II Systems. As a result, the annual service fee limitation is variable until these fees are paid.

In February 2013, we (i) assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Cinedigm DC Holdings LLC (“DC Holdings ”), the right and obligation to service the digital cinema projection systems from the Phase I Deployment and certain systems that were part of the Phase II Deployment, (ii) delegated to DC Holdings the right and obligation to service certain other systems that were part of the Phase II Deployment and (iii) assigned to DC Holdings the right to receive servicing fees from the Phase I and Phase II Deployments. We also transferred to DC Holdings certain of our operational staff whose responsibilities and activities relate solely to the operation of the servicing business and to provide DC Holdings with the right to use the supporting software and other intellectual property associated with the operation of the servicing business.

Our Services segment also has international servicing partnerships in Australia and New Zealand with the Independent Cinema Association of Australia and is currently servicing 534 screens as of March 31, 2018 .

Customers

For the year ended March 31, 2018 , no customer(s) comprised more than 10% of Services' revenues or accounts receivable.

Competition

Our Services segment faces limited competition domestically in its digital cinema services business as the major Hollywood movie studios have only signed digital cinema deployment agreements with five entities, including us, and the deployment period in North America is now complete. Competitors include: Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (“DCIP”), a joint venture of three large exhibitors (Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.) focused on managing the conversions of those three exhibitors; Sony Digital Cinema, to support the deployment of Sony projection equipment; Christie Digital USA, Inc., to support the deployment of Christie equipment; and GDC, Inc., to support the deployment of GDC equipment. We have a significantly greater market share than all other competitors except for the DCIP consortium, which services approximately 18,000 total screens representing its consortium members.

As we expand our servicing platform internationally, additional competitors beyond those listed above consist of Arts Alliance, Inc., a leading digital cinema servicer focused on the European markets, and GDC, as well as other potential local start-ups seeking to service a specific international market. We typically seek to partner with a leading local entity to combine our efficient servicing infrastructure and strong studio relationships with the necessary local market expertise and exhibitor relationships.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The nature of our business does not subject us to environmental laws in any material manner.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 2018 , we had 110 employees, with 6 part-time and 104 full-time, of which 19 are in sales and marketing, 43 are in operations, and 42 are in executive, finance, technology and administration functions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to our Business

We maintain a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness, which could impair our ability to operate our business and react to changes in our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our debt.


•	requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;


•	limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes;


•	limiting our ability to pursue our growth strategy or, including restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make nonstrategic divestitures;


•	placing us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less leveraged and may be better able to use their cash flow to fund competitive responses to changing industry, market or economic conditions; and


•	making us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business, our industry or the economy in general.

In addition, our current credit facilities contain, and any future credit facilities will likely contain, covenants and other provisions that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants and provisions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make needed capital expenditures, withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general, or otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities, and may prevent us from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise in the future. If we refinance our credit facilities, we cannot guarantee that any new credit facility will not contain similar covenants and restrictions.

We face the risks of doing business in new and rapidly evolving markets and may not be able successfully to address such risks and achieve acceptable levels of success or profits.

We have encountered and may continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and difficulties frequently experienced in new and rapidly evolving markets, including:


•	limited operating experience;


•	net losses;


•	lack of sufficient customers or loss of significant customers;


•	a changing business focus;


•	the downward trend in sales of physical DVD and Blu-ray discs;


•	rapidly-changing technology for some of the products and services we offer; and


•	difficulties in managing potentially rapid growth.

We expect competition to be intense. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

The markets for the digital cinema business and the content distribution business are competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological and other changes. We expect the intensity of competition in each of these areas to increase in the future. Companies willing to expend the necessary capital to create facilities and/or capabilities similar to ours may compete with our business. Increased competition may result in reduced revenues and/or margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business. In order to compete effectively in each of these fields, we must differentiate ourselves from competitors.

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do, which may permit them to adopt aggressive pricing policies. As a result, we may suffer from pricing pressures that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and our results of operations. Many of our competitors also have significantly greater name and brand recognition and a larger customer base than us. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

Our plan to acquire additional businesses involves risks, including our inability to complete an acquisition successfully, our assumption of liabilities, dilution of your investment and significant costs.

Strategic and financially appropriate acquisitions are a key component of our growth strategy. Although there are no other acquisitions identified by us as probable at this time, we may make further acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses or assets. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition candidates, we may be unable to negotiate successfully the terms of the acquisitions, finance them, integrate the acquired business into our then existing business, obtain required regulatory approvals, and/or attract and retain customers. Completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired business may require a significant diversion of management time and resources and may involve assuming new liabilities. Any acquisition also involves the risks that the assets acquired may prove less valuable than expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. If we make one or more significant acquisitions in which any of the consideration consists of our capital stock, your equity interest in the Company could be diluted, perhaps significantly. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash, or obtain additional financing to consummate them.

Our previous acquisitions involve risks, including our inability to integrate successfully the new businesses and our assumption of certain liabilities.

Our acquisition of these businesses and their respective assets also involved the risks that the businesses and assets acquired may prove to be less valuable than we expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. In addition, we assumed certain liabilities in connection with these acquisitions and we cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy adequately such assumed liabilities. Other companies that offer similar products and services may be able to market and sell their products and services more cost-effectively than we can.

We have recorded goodwill impairment charges and may be required to record additional charges to future earnings if our goodwill becomes further impaired or our intangible assets become impaired.

We are required under generally accepted accounting principles to review our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our reporting units and intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, slower growth rates in our industry or our own operations, and/or other materially adverse events that have implications on the profitability of our business. In fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $18.0 million in our Content & Entertainment operating segment. We may be required to record additional charges to earnings during any period in which a further impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is determined which could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we do not manage our growth, our business will be harmed.

We may not be successful in managing our growth. Past growth has placed, and future growth will continue to place, significant challenges on our management and resources, related to the successful integration of the newly acquired businesses. To manage the expected growth of our operations, we will need to improve our existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. We may also need to expand our finance, administrative, client services and operations staffs and train and manage our growing employee base effectively. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations. Our business, results of operations and financial position will suffer if we do not effectively manage our growth.

If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business will suffer.

We depend heavily on technology and viewing content to operate our business. Our success depends on protecting our intellectual property, which is one of our most important assets. We have intellectual property consisting of:


•	rights to certain domain names;


•	registered service marks on certain names and phrases;


•	various unregistered trademarks and service marks;


•	film, television and other forms of viewing content;


•	know-how; and


•	rights to certain logos.

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business, financial position and results of operations would be harmed. Our means of protecting our intellectual property may not be adequate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our intellectual property or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, competitors may be able to devise methods of competing with our business that are not covered by our intellectual property. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our technology or design around any intellectual property that we may obtain.

Although we hold rights to various web domain names, regulatory bodies in the United States and abroad could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. The relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our proprietary rights.

Our substantial debt and lease obligations could impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

We now have, and will continue to have, significant debt obligations. In March 2018, we entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security agreement, dated as of March 30, 2018, which provides for a Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") pursuant to which we can borrow up to $19.0 million in revolving loans at any time outstanding . The obligations under the Credit Facility are with full recourse to Cinedigm. As of March 31, 2018, the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $8.2 million . Separately, in October 2013, we issued $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes (the “2013 Notes”), which debt is unsecured and subordinate to the debt under the Credit Facility. In July, September and October 2016 and January, February and July 2017, we issued $10.4 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% Second Secured Lien Notes due 2019 (the “Second Secured Lien Notes”), which debt is secured on a second lien basis and is subordinate to the debt under the Credit Facility and senior to the 2013 Notes. In November 2017, $0.5 million principal amount of Second Secured Lien Notes were cancelled in exchange for other securities of the Company, and approximately $10.6 million principal amount of Second Secured Lien Notes is outstanding as of March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2018 , total indebtedness of our consolidated subsidiaries (not including guarantees of our debt) was $ 40.2 million , none of which is guaranteed by Cinedigm Corp. or our subsidiaries, other than DC Holdings LLC, AccessDM and ADCP2 with respect to the Prospect Loan, and Phase II B/AIX with respect to the KBC Agreements. In connection with the Prospect Loan, we provided a limited recourse guaranty pursuant to which Cinedigm guaranteed certain representations and warranties and performance obligations with respect to the Prospect Loan in favor of the collateral agent and the administrative agent for the Prospect Loan. Cinedigm Corp. has provided a limited recourse guaranty in respect of a portion of this indebtedness ( $39.7 million as of March 31, 2018 ) pursuant to which it agreed to become a primary obligor of such indebtedness in certain specified circumstances, none of which have occurred as of the date hereof.

In February 2013, DC Holdings LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Prospect Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $70.0 million. Additionally, in February 2013, CDF I, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary that is intended to be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity, amended and restated the Phase I Credit Agreement, pursuant to which it borrowed $130.0 million of which $5.0 million was assigned to DC Holdings LLC. As of March 31, 2018 , the outstanding principal amount of the Prospect Loan was $39.7 million . In November 2016, the Phase I Credit Agreement was repaid in full, and accordingly no amount remains outstanding as of March 31, 2018. Phase II B/AIX, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into the KBC Agreements pursuant to which it has borrowed $65.3 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2018 , the outstanding principal balance under the KBC Agreements was $0.2 million in the aggregate.

The obligations and restrictions under the Credit Facility, the Prospect Loan, the KBC Agreements and our other debt obligations could have important consequences for us, including:


•	limiting our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future; and


•	requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our debt obligations,

thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures

and other corporate requirements or expansion of our business.

CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings are our indirect wholly owned, non-consolidated VIEs that are intended to be special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities. CDF2 has entered into the Phase II Credit Agreement, pursuant to which it borrowed $63.2 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2018 , the outstanding balance under the Phase II Credit Agreement, which includes interest payable, was $10.2 million . In June 2018, the Phase II Credit Agreement was repaid in full, and accordingly no amount remains outstanding under the Phase II Credit Agreement. However, at the time the Phase II Credit Agreement became effective, CDF2 executed and delivered a promissory note (the “Advisory Fee Note”) to Société Générale in connection with a capital structure advisory fee owed to Société Générale. The Advisory Fee Note remains outstanding. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the Advisory

Fee Note was $ 4.0 million . CDF2 Holdings has entered into the CHG Lease pursuant to which CHG provided sale/leaseback financing for digital cinema projection systems that were partially financed by the Phase II Credit Agreement in an amount of approximately $57.2 million in the aggregate. The Advisory Fee Note and the CHG Lease are non-recourse to Cinedigm and our subsidiaries, excluding our VIEs, CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings, as the case may be. Although the Phase II financing arrangements undertaken by CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings are important to us with respect to the success of our Phase II Deployment, our financial exposure related to the debt of CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings is limited to the $2.0 million initial investment we made into CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings. CDF2 Holding’s total stockholder’s deficit at March 31, 2018 was $26.3 million . We have no obligation to fund the operating loss or the deficit beyond our initial investment, and accordingly, we carried our investment in CDF2 Holdings at $0 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 .

The obligations and restrictions under the Advisory Fee Note and the CHG Lease could have important consequences for CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings, including:


•	Limiting our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future; and


•	requiring them to dedicate a substantial portion of their cash flow to payments on their debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of their cash flow for other uses.

If we are unable to meet our lease and debt obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. As a result, we could default on those obligations and in the event of such default, our lenders could accelerate our debt or take other actions that could restrict our operations.

The foregoing risks would be intensified to the extent we borrow additional money or incur additional debt.

The agreements governing the financing of part of our Phase II Deployment, the Credit Facility and the Prospect Loan impose certain limitations on us.

The Credit Facility restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things:


•	make investments;


•	incur other indebtedness or liens;


•	create or acquire subsidiaries;


•	engage in a new line of business;


•	pay dividends;


•	sell assets;


•	acquire, consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies; and


•	enter into transactions with affiliates.

One or more of the KBC Agreements governing part of the financing of our Phase II Deployment restrict the ability of Phase II B/AIX to, among other things:


•	dispose of or incur other liens on the digital cinema projection systems financed by KBC;


•	engage in a new line of business;


•	sell assets outside the ordinary course of business or on other than arm’s length terms;


•	make payments to majority owned affiliated companies; and


•	consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies.

The agreements governing the Prospect Loan restrict the ability of DC Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries, and ADCP2 and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things:


•	make certain capital expenditures and investments;


•	incur other indebtedness or liens;


•	engage in a new line of business;


•	sell assets;


•	acquire, consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies; and


•	enter into transactions with affiliates.

The CHG Lease governing part of the financing of other parts of our Phase II Deployment imposes certain limitations, which may affect our Phase II deployment.

The CHG Lease restricts the ability of CDF2 Holdings to, among other things:


•	incur liens on the digital cinema projection systems financed; and


•	sublease, assign or modify the digital cinema projection systems financed.

We may not be able to generate the amount of cash needed to fund our future operations.

Our ability either to make payments on or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is in part subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Based on our current level of operations and in conjunction with the cost reduction measures that we have recently implemented and continue to implement, we believe our cash flow from operations, available borrowings and loan and credit agreement terms will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs through at least March 31, 2019. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as:


•	reducing capital expenditures;


•	reducing our overhead costs and/or workforce;


•	reducing research and development efforts;


•	selling assets;


•	restructuring or refinancing our remaining indebtedness; and


•	seeking additional funding.

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will be able to make future borrowings in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay the principal and interest on our current indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

We have incurred losses since our inception.

We have incurred losses since our inception in March 2000 and have financed our operations principally through equity investments and borrowings. As of March 31, 2018 , we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $2.2 million , and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $19.0 million ; we have total stockholders' deficit of $22.3 million ; however, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 , we generated $22.4 million of net cash flows from operating activities.

Our net losses and cash outflows may increase as and to the extent that we increase the size of our business operations, increase our sales and marketing activities, increase our content distribution rights acquisition activities, enlarge our customer support and professional services and acquire additional businesses. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate which could further increase our losses. We must continue to increase our revenues in order to become profitable. We cannot reliably predict when, or if, we will become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. If we cannot generate operating income or positive cash flows in the future, we will be unable to meet our working capital requirements.

Many of our corporate actions may be controlled by our officers, directors and principal stockholders; these actions may benefit these principal stockholders more than our other stockholders.

As of March 31, 2018 , our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, those known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 61.3% of our outstanding Class A common stock. Bison Entertainment Investment Limited, an affiliate of Bison Capital Holdings Company Limited and our largest stockholder (“Bison”), owns 19,666,667 shares of Class A common stock and has warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of Class A common stock, all of which are currently exercisable. If all the warrants were exercised, Bison would own 21,066,667 shares or approximately 54.8% of the then-outstanding Class A common stock.

This stockholder may have significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control matters requiring approval by our security holders, including elections of directors and approvals of mergers or other business combinations. In addition, certain corporate actions directed by our officers may not necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of our other stockholders.

We face risks associated with expanding our business in China.

We expect to expand our business in China. In November 2017, Bison, a Hong Kong-based entity that does business in mainland China as well as other locations, became our majority owner. We anticipate that Bison's presence and relationships in China will provide us with assistance in expanding our business to China. In January 2018, we announced a strategic alliance with Starrise Media Holdings Limited, a leading Chinese entertainment company , to release films in China theatrically and to digital platforms, and to evaluate opportunities to jointly produce Chinese/American film co-productions. Accordingly, we are exposed to risks of doing business in China. As a result, the economic, political, legal and social conditions in China could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the legal system in China has inherent uncertainties that may limit the legal protections available in the event of any claims or disputes that we may have with third parties, including our ability to protect the intellectual property we use in China. As China’s legal system is still evolving, the interpretation of many laws, regulations and rules is not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit the remedies available in the event of any claims or disputes with third parties. Some of the other risks related to doing business in China include:


•	the Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities;


•	restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our cash effectively ;


•	the Chinese government may favor local businesses and make it more difficult for foreign businesses to operate in China on an equal footing, or generally;


•	there are increased uncertanties related to the enforcement of contracts with certain parties; and


•	more restrictive rules on foreign investment could adversely affect our ability to expand our operations in China

As a result of our growing operations in China, these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

CFIUS may modify, delay, or prevent our future acquisition activities or investments in Cinedigm.

Bison is the majority owner of our Class A common stock, and therefore Cinedigm is considered a "foreign person" under the regulations relating to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). Acquisitions or investments that Cinedigm may wish to pursue in the future may be subject to CFIUS review. In such a case, Cinedigm and the other party may determine to submit to CFIUS review on a voluntary basis, or to proceed with the transaction and take a risk that CFIUS may retroactively require such a review. CFIUS has the authority to review and potentially block certain acquisitions or investments by foreign persons, or impose conditions with respect to such transactions, which may limit our future endeavors or even prevent us from pursuing transactions that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our stockholders .

Our success will significantly depend on our ability to hire and retain key personnel.

Our success will depend in significant part upon the continued performance of our senior management personnel and other key technical, sales and creative personnel. We do not currently have significant “key person” life insurance policies for any of our employees. We currently have employment agreements with our chief executive officer. If we lose one or more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement(s) and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, competition for key employees necessary to create and distribute our entertainment content and software products is intense and may grow in the future. Our future success will also depend upon our ability to hire, train, integrate and retain qualified new employees and our inability to do so may have an adverse impact upon our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects for growth.

If we do not respond to future changes in technology and customer demands, our financial position, prospects and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The demand for our Systems and other assets in connection with our digital cinema business (collectively, our “Digital Cinema Assets”) may be affected by future advances in technology and changes in customer demands. We cannot assure you that there will be continued demand for our Digital Cinema Assets. Our profitability depends largely upon the continued use of digital presentations at theatres. Although we have entered into long term agreements with major motion picture studios and independent studios (the “Studio Agreements”), there can be no assurance that these studios will continue to distribute digital content to movie theatres. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not continue or technology is used that is not compatible with our Systems, there may be no viable market for our Systems and related products. Any reduction in the use of our Systems and related products resulting from the development and deployment of new technology may negatively impact our revenues and the value of our Systems.

The demand for DVD products is declining, and we anticipate that this decline will continue. We anticipate, however, that the distribution of DVD products will continue to generate positive cash flows for the Company for the foreseeable future. Should a decline in consumer demand be greater than we anticipate, our business could be adversely affected.

We have concentration in our digital cinema business with respect to our major motion picture studio customers, and the loss of one or more of our largest studio customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our Studio Agreements account for a significant portion of our revenues within Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC. Together these studios generated 16% , 69% , and 16% of Phase 1 DC’s, Phase 2 DC’s and our consolidated revenues, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 .

The Studio Agreements are critical to our business. If some of the Studio Agreements were terminated prior to the end of their terms or found to be unenforceable, or if our Systems are not upgraded or enhanced as necessary, or if we had a material failure of our Systems, it may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows. The Studio Agreements also generally provide that the VPF rates and other material terms of the agreements may not be more favorable to one studio as compared to the others.

Termination of the MLAs and MLAAs could damage our revenue and profitability.

The master license agreements with each of our licensed exhibitors (the “MLAs”) are critical to our business as are master license administrative agreements (the “MLAAs”). The MLAs have terms, which expire in 2020 through 2022 and provide the exhibitor with an option to purchase our Systems or to renew for successive one-year periods up to ten years thereafter. The MLAs also require our suppliers to upgrade our Systems when technology necessary for compliance with DCI Specification becomes commercially available and we may determine to enhance the Systems, which may require additional capital expenditures. If any one of the MLAs were terminated prior to the end of its term, not renewed at its expiration or found to be unenforceable, or if our Systems are not upgraded or enhanced as necessary, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows. Additionally, termination of MLAAs could adversely impact our servicing business.

We have concentration in our business with respect to our major licensed exhibitors, and the loss of one or more of our largest exhibitors could have a material adverse effect on us.

Approximately 64% of Phase 1 DC’s Systems and 19% of total systems are under MLA in theatres owned or operated by one large exhibitor. The loss of this exhibitor or another of our major licensed exhibitors could have a negative impact on the aggregate receipt of VPF revenues as a result of the loss of any associated MLAs. Although we do not receive revenues from licensed exhibitors and we have attempted to limit our licenses to only those theatres, which we believe are successful, each MLA with our licensed exhibitors is important, depending on the number of screens, to our business since VPF revenues are generated based on screen turnover at theatres. If the MLA with a significant exhibitor was terminated prior to the end of its term, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows. There can be no guarantee that the MLAs with our licensed exhibitors will not be terminated prior to the end of its term.

An increase in the use of alternative movie distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance, which, if causing significant theatre closures or a substantial decline in motion picture production, may lead to reductions in our revenues.

Various exhibitor chains, which are our distributors, face competition for patrons from a number of alternative motion picture distribution channels, such as DVD, network and syndicated television, VOD, pay-per-view television and downloading utilizing

the Internet. These exhibitor chains also compete with other forms of entertainment competing for patrons’ leisure time and disposable income such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events. An increase in popularity of these alternative movie distribution channels and competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance and potentially cause certain of our exhibitors to close their theatres for extended periods of time. Significant theatre closures could in turn have a negative impact on the aggregate receipt of our VPF revenues, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to service our debt.

An increase in the use of alternative movie distribution channels could also cause the overall production of motion pictures to decline, which, if substantial, could have an adverse effect on the businesses of the major studios with which we have Studio Agreements. A decline in the businesses of the major studios could in turn force the termination of certain Studio Agreements prior to the end of their terms. The Studio Agreements with each of the major studios are critical to our business, and their early termination may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows.

Our success depends on external factors in the motion picture and television industry.

Our success depends on the commercial success of movies and television programs, which is unpredictable. Operating in the motion picture and television industry involves a substantial degree of risk. Each movie and television program is an individual artistic work, and inherently unpredictable audience reactions primarily determine commercial success. Generally, the popularity of movies and television programs depends on many factors, including the critical acclaim they receive, the format of their initial release, for example, theatrical or direct-to-video, the actors and other key talent, their genre and their specific subject matter. The commercial success of movies and television programs also depends upon the quality and acceptance of movies or programs that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and all of which may change. We cannot predict the future effects of these factors with certainty, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. In addition, because a movie’s or television program’s performance in ancillary markets, such as home video and pay and free television, is often directly related to its box office performance or television ratings, poor box office results or poor television ratings may negatively affect future revenue streams. Our success will depend on the experience and judgment of our management to select and develop new content acquisition and investment opportunities. We cannot make assurances that movies and television programs will obtain favorable reviews or ratings, will perform well at the box office or in ancillary markets or that broadcasters will license the rights to broadcast any of our television programs in development or renew licenses to broadcast programs in our library. The failure to achieve any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Our business involves risks of liability claims for media content, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a distributor of media content, we may face potential liability for:


•	defamation;


•	invasion of privacy;


•	negligence;


•	copyright or trademark infringement (as discussed above); and


•	other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed.

These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against producers and distributors of media content. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Our revenues and earnings are subject to market downturns.

Our revenues and earnings may fluctuate significantly in the future. General economic or other conditions could cause lower than expected revenues and earnings within our digital cinema, technology or content and entertainment businesses. The global economic turmoil of recent years has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, an unprecedented level of intervention from the U.S. federal government and other foreign governments, decreased consumer confidence, overall slower economic activity and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, a decrease in economic activity in the U.S. or in other regions of the world in which we do business could adversely affect demand for our movies, thus reducing our revenue and earnings. While stabilization has continued, it remains a slow process and the global economy remains subject to volatility. Moreover, financial

institution failures may cause us to incur increased expenses or make it more difficult either to financing of any future acquisitions, or financing activities. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and could result in significant additional dilution to shareholders.

Changes in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our operations and performance could be influenced by worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services. Other factors that could influence demand include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer-spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions could also continue to increase the volatility of our stock price.

Changes to existing accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices may affect how we conduct our business and affect our reported results of operations.

New accounting pronouncements or tax rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements or taxation practice have occurred and may occur in the future. A change in accounting pronouncements or interpretations or taxation rules or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. Changes to existing rules and pronouncements, future changes, if any, or the questioning of current practices or interpretations may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards in the future is subject to substantial limitations and we may not be able to use some identified net operating loss carryforwards, which could result in increased tax payments in future periods.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, if a corporation undergoes an ownership change (generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset its post-change income may be limited. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. On November 1, 2018, we experienced an ownership change with respect to the Bison acquisition. Accordingly, our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards attributable to periods prior to November 1, 2018 is subject to substantial limitations. These limitations could result in increased future tax payments, which could be material.

Risks Related to our Class A Common Stock

The liquidity of the Class A common stock is uncertain; the limited trading volume of the Class A common stock may depress the price of such stock or cause it to fluctuate significantly.

Although the Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq, there has been a limited public market for the Class A common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for the Common Stock will develop. As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares of Class A common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. The absence of an active trading market may cause the price per share of the Class A common stock to fluctuate significantly.

Substantial resales or future issuances of our Class A common stock could depress our stock price.

The market price for the Class A common stock could decline, perhaps significantly, as a result of resales or issuances of a large number of shares of the Class A common stock in the public market or even the perception that such resales or issuances could occur. In addition, we have outstanding a substantial number of options and warrants exercisable for shares of Class A common stock that may be exercised in the future. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our equity securities.

You will incur substantial dilution as a result of certain future equity issuances.

We have a substantial number of options and warrants currently outstanding which may be immediately exercised for shares of Class A common stock. To the extent that these options or warrants are exercised, or to the extent we issue additional shares of Class A common stock in the future, as the case may be, there will be further dilution to holders of shares of the Class A common stock.

Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of Class A common stock .

Our board of directors is authorized to issue series of preferred stock without any action on the part of our holders of Class A common stock. Our board of directors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any such series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights, dividend rights, preferences over our Class A common stock with respect to dividends or if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our business and other terms. If we issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our Class A common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our Class A common stock , the rights of holders of our Class A common stock or the price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

Our stock price has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future; this volatility may affect the price at which you could sell our Class A common stock.

The trading price of the Class A common stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on an investment in the Class A common stock:


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;


•	changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;


•	success of competitors;


•	our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;


•	changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us, the market for digital and physical content, content distribution and entertainment in general;


•	operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;


•	our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;


•	changes in laws and regulations affecting our business or our industry;


•	commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us;


•	changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;


•	the volume of shares of the Class A common stock available for public sale;


•	any major change in our board of directors or management;


•	sales of substantial amounts of Class A common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and


•	general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of the Class A common stock irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of the Class A common stock, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of the Class A common stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:


•	no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;


•	the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;


•	the ability of our board of directors to determine to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;


•	the requirement that an annual meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;


•	limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;


•	controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings; and


•	providing that directors may be removed prior to the expiration of their terms by the Board of Directors only for cause.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for the Class A common stock.

We have no present intention of paying dividends on our Class A common stock.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock and have no present plans to do so. In addition, certain of our credit facilities restrict our ability to pay dividends on the Class A common stock. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our Class A common stock unless you sell the shares for a price greater than that which you paid for them.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document.

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

OVERVIEW

Since our inception, we have played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to our pioneering role in transitioning approximately 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have become a leading distributor of independent content, both through organic growth and acquisitions. We distribute products for major brands such as the Discovery Networks, National Geographic and Scholastic, as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to, iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, PlayStation, and cable video-on-demand ("VOD"), and (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment group (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segment provides fee based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is a market leader in: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and; (2) branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital network business providing entertainment channels and applications.

Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certain distributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31, 2018 , all of the systems in our Phase I Deployment segment had ceased to earn a significant portion VPF revenue from certain major studios. We expect to continue to earn ancillary revenue from the Phase I Deployment Systems through December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financial statements. The expected reduction in VPF revenue on our Phase I Deployment systems is scheduled to approximately coincide with the conclusion of certain of

our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, we expect that reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations will partially offset reduced VPF revenue.

Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December 2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair-market-value.

We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, the Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operates independently from our Content & Entertainment segment. As of March 31, 2018 , we had approximately $40.2 million of outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business and is non-recourse to us. We also had approximately $33.8 million of outstanding debt principal that is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.

Liquidity

We have incurred consolidated net losses of $18.5 million and $15.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $379.2 million as of March 31, 2018 . In addition, we have significant debt related contractual obligations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and beyond.

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Bison Entertainment Investment Limited, an affiliate of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited (“Bison”), we sold 20,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, of which 19,666,667 shares were sold to Bison, and 333,333 shares were sold to the CEO of the Company. As a result of the of the transactions described above, Bison became a majority shareholder of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and designated two (2) nominees of the Company’s

Board of Directors, the size of which is set at seven (7) members. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we consummated

exchange agreements with holders of our remaining 5.5% Convertible Notes due 2035 ("Convertible Notes"), whereby $50.6 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes were exchanged for a combination of $17.6 million cash, 3,536,783 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million of Second Lien Notes. The Convertible Notes were immediately retired.

In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement ("the Loan") with Bison, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $10.0 million. The Loan matures on June 28, 2021 and bears interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The principal is payable upon maturity. The Loan is unsecured and may be prepaid without premium or penalty, and contains customary covenants, representations and warranties. The proceeds of the Loan will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the Loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Warrants"). The Warrants have a 5-year term and are immediately exercisable at $1.80 per share. The Warrants contain certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company valued the Warrants at $1.1 million, on a relative fair value basis, using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming a 5-year life, a risk-free rate of interest of 2.2% and an expected volatility of 74.3%.

We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2018, (ii) retirement of the full outstanding amount of Convertible Notes, (iii) the equity and debt financings during fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and (iv) expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity obligation and capital requirements for at least a year after these consolidated financial statements are issued. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use capital resources and raise additional capital. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data , of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:



Computer equipment and software	3-5 years
Digital cinema projection systems	10 years
Machinery and equipment	3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures	3-6 years

Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.

Useful lives are determined based on an estimate of either physical or economic obsolescence, or both. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , we have neither made any revisions to estimated useful lives, nor recorded any impairment charges on our property and equipment.

FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year (as of March 31), or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The determination of whether or not goodwill has become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting units. Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management's interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to our operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We are permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill is impaired, or opt to bypass the qualitative assessment, and proceed directly to performing a qualitative impairment test, whereby the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

We did not record goodwill impairment in connection with our annual testing in the fourth quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. In determining fair value, we used various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections or forecasts derived from analysis of business prospects, economic or market trends and any regulatory changes that may occur. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a net present value methodology, which is dependent on significant assumptions related to estimated future discounted cash flows, discount rates and tax rates. Certain of the estimates and assumptions that we used in determining the value of our CEG reporting unit are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report on Form 10-K.

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and

assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset's residual value, if any. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash

flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset's fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment

Virtual print fees (“VPFs”) are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2 DC when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC and CDF I based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year (calendar year 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year until the VPFs phase out. One VPF is payable for every digital title displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the digital title first plays on a System for general audience viewing in a digitally equipped movie theatre, as Phase 1 DC’s, CDF I's and Phase 2 DC’s performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Phase 2 DC’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of cost recoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment. Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will have reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject to earlier achievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems. Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end by December 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.

Alternative content fees (“ACFs”) are earned pursuant to contracts with movie exhibitors, whereby amounts are payable to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2 DC, generally either a fixed amount or as a percentage of the applicable box office revenue derived from the exhibitor’s showing of content other than feature movies, such as concerts and sporting events (typically referred to as “alternative content”). ACF revenue is recognized in the period in which the alternative content first opens for audience viewing.

Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.

Services

Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0 thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and ready for content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation fee revenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party (See Note 4 - Other Interests ) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services segment manages and collects VPFs on behalf of exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.

Our Services segment earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of the VPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is recognized in the period in which the billing of VPFs occurs, as performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Content & Entertainment

CEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, VOD, and physical goods (e.g. DVD and Blu-ray Discs). Fees earned are typically based on the gross amounts billed to our customers less the amounts owed to the media studios or content producers under distribution agreements, and gross media sales of owned or licensed content. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. Generally, revenues are recognized when content is available for subscription on the digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services. Reserves for sales returns and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required. Sales returns and allowances are reported as a reduction of revenues.

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

Revenue is deferred in cases where a portion or the entire contract amount cannot be recognized as revenue due to non-delivery of services. Such amounts are classified as deferred revenue and are recognized as earned revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policies described above.

In connection with revenue recognition for CEG, the following are also considered critical accounting policies:

Advances

Advances, which are recorded within prepaid and other current assets within the consolidated balance sheets, represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record impairment charges for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

Participations and royalties payable

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

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Revenues



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
Phase I Deployment	$	16,782	$	32,068	$	(15,286	)	(47.7	)%
Phase II Deployment	11,863		12,538		(675		)	(5.4	)%
Services	8,932		11,611		(2,679		)	(23.1	)%

	$	67,683	$	90,394	$	(22,711	)	(25.1	)%

Decreased revenues in our Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses reflects a reduced number of Phase I Systems earning VPF revenues compared to the prior period. In addition, all of the Phase I exhibitors reached the end of their deployment agreement periods and, therefore, have ceased to earn VPF revenues from certain distributors.

Revenue generated by our Services segment decreased primarily as a result of the lower VPF revenues earned by our Phase I Deployment business. Our Services segment earns commissions on VPF revenue generated by the Phase I and Phase II deployment segments and therefore we expect this segment's revenues to continue to decrease in proportion to the revenues generated by our Phase I business as a result of Expired Theaters and the resulting reduction of VPF revenues.

Revenues at our Content & Entertainment segment decreased due to lower overall sales volumes for physical product and a change in the mix of content sold. Our traditional DVD and Blu-ray business continues to be negatively impacted by changing consumer behaviors and digital market shift to more original productions has lowered demand for third party content. Our product mix has also shifted significantly toward licensed content in the current year.

The decline in physical product sales was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in sales related to our OTT channels and a

slight increase in distribution related revenues. We continued to shift our strategy toward developing and marketing a portfolio of narrowcast OTT channels.

Direct Operating Expenses



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
Phase I Deployment	$	1,098	$	1,052	$	46		4.4	%
Phase II Deployment	390		388		2			0.5	%

	$	19,523	$	25,121	$	(5,598	)	(22.3	)%

Direct operating expenses decreased in the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the prior year, primarily resulting from a corresponding decrease in revenue in our CEG business. In addition, direct operating expenses in the prior year included higher third party distribution costs and higher OTT platform and content distribution costs. The current year also reflects reduced costs related to marketing and content acquisitions costs as we intentionally focused more on developing OTT channel content in the 2018 fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
Phase I Deployment	$	378	$	544	$	(166	)	(30.5	)%
Phase II Deployment	369		228		141			61.8	%
Services	1,008		798		210			26.3	%
Content & Entertainment	16,715		15,812		903			5.7	%

	$	28,454	$	23,776	$	4,678		19.7	%

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 due to a special bonus payout of $1.5 million to the officers and employees upon the consummation of the Bison transaction. We also accrued $1.2 million in bonus expense for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to a reversal of an accrual for incentive compensation of $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. In addition, stock based compensation increased by $ 0.6 million as a result of the accelerated vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock on November 1, 2017. Consulting and other expenses also increased by approximately $0.3 million.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

Provision for doubtful accounts was $1.0 million and $1.2 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense on Property and Equipment



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
Phase I Deployment	$	4,167	$	19,263	$	(15,096	)	(78.4	)%

	$	12,412	$	27,722	$	(15,310	)	(55.2	)%

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased, primarily in our Phase I Deployment segment, as all of our digital cinema projection systems in Phase I Deployment reached the conclusion of their ten-year useful lives and are now fully depreciated. The depreciation in the Corporate segment declined mostly related to lower depreciation for assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements.

Interest expense, net



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
Phase I Deployment	$	6,931	$	10,154	$	(3,223	)	(31.7	)%
Phase II Deployment	269		1,034		(765		)	(74.0	)%
Corporate	6,993		7,807		(814		)	(10.4	)%
	$	14,193	$	18,995	$	(4,802	)	(25.3	)%

Interest expense reported by our Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments decreased primarily as a result of reduced debt balances compared to the prior year and the pay-down of one of our KBC Facilities. We expect interest expense related to the KBC Facilities to continue to decrease as we continue to pay down such balances. Interest expense in our Corporate segment also decreased as we paid off all of the remaining balance of our convertible debt as of November 7, 2017. In addition, we also had a lower average balance drawn on our revolving line of credit for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the prior year.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense from operations of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2018 and

2017, respectively, primarily for state income taxes related to our Phase I Deployment business. Income tax expense was mainly related to taxable income at the state level and timing differences related to fixed asset depreciation.

Debt conversion expense and loss on extinguishment of notes payable

We recorded debt conversion expense and loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $ 4.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2018, for the conversion of an aggregate of $46.8 million of Convertible Notes. For the year ended March 31, 2017, $5.4 million of debt conversion expense and loss on extinguishment was recognized on the conversion of $13.4 million of Convertible Notes.

Adjusted EBITDA

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

Adjusted EBITDA (including the results of Phase I and Phase II Deployments segments) for the year ended March 31, 2018 decreased 46.9% compared to the year ended March 31, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA from our non-deployment businesses was negative $2.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 , compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2017 . The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior period primarily reflects lower revenue in all of our business segments.,

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

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") as No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance was effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance and it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03 which amended Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) to state that registrants should consider additional qualitative disclosures if the impact of an issued but not yet adopted ASU is unknown or cannot be reasonably estimated and to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined. Transition guidance included in certain issued but not yet adopted ASUs was also updated to reflect this amendment.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We made an early adoption for the year ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which provides additional guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the new guidance would define this as an asset acquisition; otherwise, the entity then evaluates whether the asset meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new guidance, issued as ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), will be effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is evaluating the methods and impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts

and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the

statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless impracticable. If impracticable we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) ("ASU 2016-18")". ASU 2016-18 provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and the end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 using a retrospective adoption method and early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt this guidance for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

adoption beginning January 1, 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance to clarify the implementation guidance. During the fourth quarter, the Company completed its evaluation of the new standard and concluded that revenue recognition will remain materially consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition policies. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach under which prior years data is not recast. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s opening accumulated deficit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred net losses each year since we commenced our operations. Since our inception, we have financed our operations substantially through the private placement of shares of our common and preferred stock, the issuance of promissory notes, our initial public offering and subsequent private and public offerings, notes payable and common stock used to fund various acquisitions.

We may continue to generate net losses in the future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on notes payable,

marketing and promotional activities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by our debt agreements may limit our ability to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our existing debt obligations. The Prospect Loan requires certain screen turn performance from certain of our Phase I and Phase II subsidiaries. While such restrictions may reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements, we do not have similar restrictions imposed upon our CEG businesses. We may seek to raise additional capital as necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Board of Directors, the size of which is set at seven (7) members. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we consummated exchange agreements with holders of substantially all of our remaining 5.5% Convertible Notes due 2035 ("Convertible Notes"), whereby $50.6 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes were exchanged for a combination of $17.6 million cash, 3,536,783 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million of Second Lien Notes. The Convertible Notes were immediately retired.

As a result of the of the transactions described above, Bison became a majority shareholder of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and is entitled to designate two (2) nominees for our Board of Directors, the size of which is set at seven (7) members.

In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, on December 29, 2017, we entered into a Loan with Bison, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $10.0 million. The Loan matures on June 28, 2021 and bears interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The principal is payable upon maturity. The Loan is unsecured and may be prepaid without premium or penalty, and contains customary covenants, representations and warranties. In conjunction with the Loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Our business is primarily driven by the growth in global demand for video entertainment content in all forms and, in particular, the shifting consumer demand for content in digital forms within home and mobile devices as well as the maturing digital cinema marketplace. Our primary revenue drivers are expected to be the increasing number of digitally equipped devices/screens and the demand for entertainment content in theatrical, home and mobile ancillary markets. According to the Motion Picture Association of America, there were approximately 43,600 domestic (United States and Canada) movie theatre screens and approximately 152,000 screens worldwide, of which approximately 42,500 of the domestic screens were equipped with digital cinema technology, and more than 12,000 of those screens contain our Systems. Historically, the number of digitally equipped screens in the marketplace has been a significant determinant of our potential revenue. Going forward, the expansion of our content business into ancillary distribution markets and digital distribution of narrowcast OTT content are expected to be

the primary drivers of our revenues.

Non-Recourse Indebtedness

Our Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses have historically been financed through a series of non-recourse loans. Certain of the subsidiaries that make up our Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses have pledged their assets as collateral for, and are liable with respect to, certain indebtedness for which the assets of our other subsidiaries generally are not. We have referred to this indebtedness as "non-recourse debt" because the recourse of the lenders is limited to the assets of specific subsidiaries. Such indebtedness includes the Prospect Loan, the KBC Facilities, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2 Exhibitor Notes. The balance of our non-recourse debt, net of related debt issuance costs, as of March 31, 2018 was $37.6 million and $0.5 million for our Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments, respectively, which matures as presented in the Contractual Obligations table below. We continue to expect cash flows from our Phase I and II deployment operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and contractual requirements that are linked to these operations.

Revolving Credit Agreements

As of November 14, 2017, the maximum principal amount available under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement was reduced to $11.8 million from $17.1 million. As of March 30, 2018, $7.8 million of the revolving loans was drawn upon with no amount available for borrowing. We generally used the revolving loans under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement for working capital needs and to invest in entertainment content, and the loans are supported by the cash flows from our media library. The revolving loans under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement bore interest at a Base Rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%, at our election, and matured on March 31, 2018.

On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a new Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2018, by and between the Company, East West Bank ("EWB") and the Guarantors named therein, which are certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provides for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a maximum of $19.0 million in revolving loans at any one time outstanding and having a maturity date of March 31, 2020, which may be extended for two successive periods of one year each at the sole discretion of the lender so long as certain conditions are met.

Interest is due monthly on the last day of the month based on the rate determined by the Company in prior month of either 0.5% plus Prime Rate or 3.25% above LIBOR Rate established by EWB.

On March 30, 2018, the Company borrowed $8.2 million from the Credit Facility and paid the remaining balance of $7.8 million plus interest on the Cinedigm Revolving Loan, as well as other associated legal costs.

Convertible Notes

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement with Bison on July 10, 2017, the Company entered into two Exchange Agreements with holders of the remaining Convertible Notes representing approximately 99% of the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2035 to exchange their notes into cash, Class A Common Stock, Second Lien Loans or a combination thereof in order to decrease the debt obligations of the Company.

Other Indebtedness

In October 2013, we issued notes to certain investors in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the "2013 Notes") and warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to such investors. The principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Notes is due on October 21, 2018 and the notes bear interest at 9.0% per annum, payable in quarterly installments.

In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 5 - Notes Payable, our debt obligations have instituted certain financial and liquidity covenants and capital requirements, and from time to time, we may need to use available capital resources and raise additional capital to satisfy these covenants and requirements.

Changes in our cash flows were as follows:



	For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2018			2017
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	22,397		$	31,699
Net cash used in investing activities	(931		)	(486		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(16,080		)	(44,128		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	5,386		$	(12,915	)

As of March 31, 2018 , we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances of $19.0 million .

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, bad debt provisions and stock-based compensation, offset by changes in working capital. We expect cash received from VPFs to continue to decline in our current fiscal year as all our Phase I Systems reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certain major studios. Changes in accounts receivable from our studio customers largely impact cash flows from operating activities and vary based on the seasonality of movie release schedules by the major studios. Operating cash flows from CEG are typically higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season, and lower in the following two quarters as we pay royalties on such revenues. In addition, we make advances on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months. To manage working capital fluctuations, we have a revolving line of credit that allows for borrowings of up to $19.0 million, of which $9.8 million was available for borrowing as of March 31, 2018 .

We have undertaken initiatives to reduce cash operating expenses in the future, including relocating our offices in 2017 from Century City, California to Sherman Oaks, California, and also relocating the New York office, within New York City, which is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately $0.7 million annually.

We expect operating activities to continue to be a positive source of cash.

Cash flows used in investing activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, cash flows used in financing activities primarily reflects net payments of notes payable of $ 53.1 million and credit facilities, offset by the net proceeds of $38.0 million in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and a loan with Bison.

We have contractual obligations that primarily consist of term notes payable, credit facilities, and non-cancelable operating leases related to office space.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of March 31, 2018 :



	Payments Due

Operating lease obligations	$	3,883	$	996	$	2,189	$	698	$	—


(1)	Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse, with respect to defaults, is limited to the value of the asset that is collateral for the debt. The Prospect Loan is not guaranteed by us or our other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and DC Holdings and the KBC Facilities are not guaranteed by us or our other subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC.

We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on our debt obligations, marketing and promotional activities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by the terms of our debt obligations may limit our ability to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our existing debt obligations. We feel we are adequately financed for at least the next twelve months, however we may need to raise additional capital for working capital as deemed necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Subsequent Events

In June 2018, the Company and Christopher J. McGurk, our CEO, entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the term of Mr. McGurk’s employment with the Company was extended through March 31, 2021. (See Item 11 - Employment Agreements and Arrangements between the Company and Named Executives” below).

Seasonality

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

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases in the ordinary course of business, which are disclosed above in the table of our significant contractual obligations, and CDF2 Holdings. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Note 4 - Other Interests to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we hold a 100% equity interest in CDF2 Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Impact of Inflation

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Cinedigm Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinedigm Corp. (the “Company") as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2018, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ EisnerAmper LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Cinedigm Corp. ("Cinedigm," the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We are (i) a leading distributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles and episodes released across digital, physical, theatrical, home and mobile entertainment platforms and (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets in over 12,000 movie screens in both North America and several international countries.

We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment group (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segment provides fee based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments, as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers, in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is focused on: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and; (2) a branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital network business, providing entertainment channels and applications.

Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certain distributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”), related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deployment installation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31, 2018 , all of the systems in our Phase I Deployment segment had ceased to earn a significant portion of VPF revenue from these certain distributors. We will continue to earn VPF revenue from other distributors and ancillary revenue from the Phase I Deployment Systems through December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financial statements.

Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December 2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchase the Systems from us at fair-market-value.

Liquidity

We have incurred consolidated net losses of $18.5 million and $15.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $379.2 million as of March 31, 2018 . In addition, we have significant debt related contractual obligations for the year ended March 31, 2018 and beyond.

We continue to expect cash flows from our Phase I and Phase II deployment operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and contractual requirements that are linked to these operations. As of March 31, 2018 , we had approximately $ 40.2 million of outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business and is non-recourse to us. As of March 31, 2018, we also had approximately $33.8 million of outstanding debt principal that is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Bison Entertainment Investment Limited, an affiliate of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited (“Bison”), we sold 20,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million , of which 19,666,667 shares were sold to Bison, and 333,333 shares were sold to the CEO of the Company. As a result of the of the transactions described above, Bison became a majority shareholder of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and designated two ( 2 ) nominees of the Company’s

Board of Directors, the size of which is set at seven ( 7 ) members. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we consummated exchange agreements with holders of substantially all of our remaining 5.5% Convertible Notes due 2035 ("Convertible Notes"), whereby $50.6 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes were exchanged for a combination of $17.6 million

F-8

cash, 3,536,783 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million of Second Lien Notes. The Convertible Notes were immediately retired.

The Second Lien Loan Agreement matures on June 30, 2019. The Company's current plan is to obtain additional capital from Bison for final payment of the outstanding balance on the maturity date. See Note 5 - Notes Payable .

Bison Note Payable

In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bison Entertainment and Media Group, another affiliate of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $ 10.0 million (the “Loan”). The Loan matures on June 28, 2021 and bears interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The principal is payable upon maturity. The Loan is unsecured and may be prepaid without

premium or penalty, and contains customary covenants, representations and warranties. The proceeds of the Loan will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As part of this Loan, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Warrants”). See Note 6 - Stockholders' Deficit for discussion of the Warrants.

The Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement with East West Bank

On March 30, 2018, Cinedigm Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2018, by and among the Company, East West Bank (“EWB”) and the Guarantors named therein, which are certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a maximum of $19.0 million in revolving loans at any one time outstanding and having a maturity date of March 31, 2020, which may be extended for two successive periods of one year each at the sole discretion of EWB so long as certain conditions are met. See Note 5 - Notes Payable.

We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2018 , (ii) retirement of the full outstanding amount of Convertible Notes, (iii) the equity and debt financings during the year ended March 31, 2018, and (iv) expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and capital requirements for at least a year after these consolidated financial statements are issued. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need use capital resources and raise additional capital. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.


2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinedigm and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in which we do not have a controlling interest or are not the primary beneficiary, but have the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Noncontrolling interests for which we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary are consolidated and recorded as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. See Note 4 - Other Interests to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our noncontrolling interests.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the adequacy of accounts receivable reserves, return reserves, inventory reserves, recovery of advances, assessment of goodwill impairment, intangible asset impairment and estimated lives and valuation allowances for income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F-9

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” We maintain bank accounts with major banks, which, from time to time, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of the institutions and believe that the risk of any loss is minimal.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

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

Our Content & Entertainment segment recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that it recognizes revenue from a sale. We base the amount of the returns allowance and customer chargebacks upon historical experience and future expectations.

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

UNBILLED AND DEFERRED REVENUE

Unbilled revenue represents amounts recognized as revenue for which invoices have not yet been sent to clients. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or payments received for which revenue has not yet been earned.

ADVANCES

INVENTORY, NET

Inventory consists of finished goods of Company owned physical DVD and Blu-ray Disc titles and is stated at the lower of cost (determined based on weighted average cost) or market. We identify inventory items to be written down for obsolescence based on their sales status and condition. We write down discontinued or slow moving inventories based on an estimate of the markdown to retail price needed to sell through our current stock level of the inventories.

RESTRICTED CASH

Our Prospect Loan requires that we maintain specified cash balances that are restricted to repayment of interest, as defined. See Note 5 - Notes Payable for information about our restricted cash balances.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT



Computer equipment and software	3 - 5 years
Digital cinema projection systems	10 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 - 6 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized. Upon the sale or other disposition of any property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposal is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

F-10

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (a component of stockholders' deficit) or in the consolidated statements of operations depending on whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. We entered into an interest rate cap transaction during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 to limit our exposure to interest rates on the Prospect Loan which . matured March 31, 2018. We have not sought hedge accounting treatment for the interest rate cap and therefore, changes in its value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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


•	Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments


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


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

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

The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2018 and 2017:



(In thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Restricted cash	$	1,000	$	—	$	—	$	1,000

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments that are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets because the estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. At March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt approximated its carrying amount. We estimated the fair value of debt based upon current interest rates available to us at the respective balance sheet dates for arrangements with similar terms and conditions. Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of notes payable and capital lease obligations approximates fair value.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND FINITE-LIVED ASSETS

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset's fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , no impairment charge was recorded for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets.

GOODWILL

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

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or our strategies change,

F-11

it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We are permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill is impaired, or opt to bypass the qualitative assessment, and proceed directly to performing a quantitative impairment test, whereby the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

For reporting units where we decide to perform a qualitative assessment, we assess and make judgments regarding a variety of factors which potentially impact the fair value of a reporting unit, including general economic conditions, industry and market-specific conditions, customer behavior, cost factors, our financial performance and trends, our strategies and business plans, capital requirements, management and personnel issues, and our stock price, among others. We then consider the totality of these and other factors, placing more weight on the events and circumstances that are judged to most affect a reporting unit's fair value or the carrying amount of its net assets, to reach a qualitative conclusion regarding whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount.

For reporting units where we decide to perform a quantitative testing approach in order to test goodwill, a determination of the fair value of our reporting units is required and is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit and/or the component of the entity being valued. This impairment test includes the projection and discounting of cash flows, analysis of our market factors impacting the businesses we operate and estimating the fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Estimating future cash flows and determining their present values are based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and appropriate discount rates determined by us.

The discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from the reporting unit. The discount rate applied to the projected future cash flows to arrive at the present value is intended to reflect all risks of ownership and the associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows. The discounted cash flow methodology uses projections of financial performance for a five-year period. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary among reporting units. The market participant based weighted average cost of capital for each unit gives consideration to factors including, but not limited to, capital structure, historic and projected financial performance, industry risk and size.

In determining fair value of the Content and Entertainment ("CEG") reporting unit, we used various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections or forecasts derived from analysis of business prospects, economic or market trends and any regulatory changes that may occur. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a net present value methodology, which is dependent on significant assumptions related to estimated future discounted cash flows, discount rates and tax rates. The assumptions for the goodwill impairment test should not be construed as earnings guidance or long-term projections. Our cash flow assumptions are based on internal projections of adjusted EBITDA for the CEG reporting unit. For the year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we assumed a market-based weighted average cost of capital of 19% and 17%, respectively, to discount cash flows for our CEG segment and used a blended federal and state tax rate of 20% as of March 31, 2018 and 40% as of March 31, 2017. Based on such assumptions, the estimated fair value of the CEG reporting unit as calculated for goodwill testing purposes exceeded its carrying value, and therefore there was no goodwill impairment charge for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Gross amounts of goodwill and accumulated impairment charges that we have recorded are as follows:



(In thousands)
Goodwill	$	32,701
Accumulated impairment charges	(24,000		)
Net goodwill at March 31, 2018 and 2017	$	8,701

PARTICIPATIONS AND ROYALTIES PAYABLE

F-12

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

We incur debt issuance costs in connection with long-term debt financings. Such costs are recorded as a direct deduction to notes payable and amortized over the terms of the respective debt obligations using the effective interest rate method. Debt issuance costs recorded in connection with revolving debt arrangements are presented as assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the revolving debt agreements using the effective interest rate method.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment

Virtual print fees (“VPFs”) are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by a studio to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2 DC when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC and CDF I based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year (calendar year 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year until the VPFs phase out. One VPF is payable for every digital title initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any given accounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the digital title first plays on a System for general audience viewing in a digitally equipped movie theatre, as Phase 1 DC’s, CDF I's and Phase 2 DC’s performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Phase 2 DC’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, the studios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment. Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will have reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject to earlier achievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems. Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end by December 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.

Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.

Services

Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0 thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and ready for content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation fee revenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party (See Note 4 - Other Interests ), upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services segment manages and collects VPFs on behalf of exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.

F-13

Content & Entertainment

CEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, VOD, and physical goods (e.g., DVD and Blu-ray Discs). Fees earned are typically based on the gross amounts billed to our customers less the amounts owed to the media studios or content producers under distribution agreements, and gross media sales of owned or licensed content. Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. Generally, revenues are recognized when content is available for subscription on the digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services. Reserves for sales returns and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required. Sales returns and allowances are reported as a reduction of revenues.

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

DIRECT OPERATING COSTS

Direct operating costs consist of operating costs such as cost of goods sold, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on Systems, royalty expenses, impairments of advances, marketing and direct personnel costs.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , we recorded advertising costs of $0.03 million and $0.1 million , respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Employee and director stock-based compensation expense related to our stock-based awards was as follows:



	For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2018		2017
Direct operating	$	60	$	10
Selling, general and administrative	2,219		1,716
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	2,279	$	1,726

No restricted shares were awarded during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. There were 1,055,465 restricted shares awarded to employees during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

There were 174,942 and 129,066 shares awarded to the board of directors for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion,

or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States.

F-14

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes) , which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company has no uncertain tax positions.

NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculated as follows:



Basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to common shareholders =	Net loss attributable to common shareholders
	Weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period

Stock issued and treasury stock repurchased during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding. The shares to be repurchased in connection with the forward stock purchase transaction discussed in Note 6 - Stockholders' Deficit are considered repurchased for the purposes of calculating net loss per share and therefore the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and therefore excludes 1,179,138 shares. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company settled these shares and have included them in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2018.

Shares issued and any shares that are reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding.

We incurred net losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and therefore, the impact of potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding stock options and warrants totaling 2,890,824 shares and 1,416,677 shares, were excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017 , comprehensive loss consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

F-15

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which provides additional guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the new guidance would define this as an asset acquisition; otherwise, the entity then evaluates whether the asset meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. This new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless impracticable. If impracticable we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard, issued as ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to January 1, 2018, with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance to clarify the implementation guidance. During the fourth quarter, the Company completed its evaluation of the new standard and concluded that revenue recognition will remain materially consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition policies. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach under which prior years data is not recast. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s opening accumulated deficit.

4. OTHER INTERESTS

Investment in CDF2 Holdings

We indirectly own 100% of the common equity of CDF2 Holdings, LLC ("CDF2 Holdings"), which was created for the purpose of capitalizing on the conversion of the exhibition industry from film to digital technology. CDF2 Holdings assists its customers in procuring the equipment necessary to convert their Systems to digital technology by providing financing, equipment, installation and related ongoing services.

CDF2 Holdings is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 ("ASC 810"), “Consolidation." ASC 810 requires the consolidation of VIEs by an entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE which

F-18

entity is thereby defined as the primary beneficiary of the VIE. To be a primary beneficiary, an entity must have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, among other factors. Although we indirectly, wholly own CDF2 Holdings, we, a third party that also has a variable interest in CDF2 Holdings, and an independent third party manager must mutually approve all business activities and transactions that significantly impact CDF2 Holdings' economic performance. We have therefore assessed our variable interests in CDF2 Holdings and determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of CDF2 Holdings. As a result, CDF2 Holdings' financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in our financial position and results of operations. In completing our assessment, we identified the activities that we consider most significant to the economic performance of CDF2 Holdings and determined that we do not have the power to direct those activities, and therefore we account for our investment in CDF2 Holdings under the equity method of accounting.

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, our maximum exposure to loss, as it relates to the non-consolidated CDF2 Holdings entity, represents accounts receivable for service fees under a master service agreement with CDF2 Holdings. Such accounts receivables were $0.4 million as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included within our accounts receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we received $1.2 million , respectively, in aggregate revenues through digital cinema servicing fees from CDF2 Holdings, which are included in our revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Total Stockholder's Deficit of CDF2 Holdings at March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $26.3 million and $18.7 million , respectively. We have no obligation to fund the operating loss or the stockholder's deficit beyond our initial investment of $2.0 million and accordingly, our investment in CDF2 Holdings is carried at $0 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Majority Interest in CONtv

We own 85% interest in CON TV, LLC, a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on demand digital content on the Internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets.

F-19

Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse with respect to defaults, is limited to the value of the asset, which is collateral for the debt. Certain of our subsidiaries are liable with respect to, and their assets serve as collateral for, certain indebtedness for which our assets and the assets of our other subsidiaries that are not parties to the transaction are generally not liable. We have referred to this indebtedness as "non-recourse debt" because the recourse of the lenders is limited to the assets of specific subsidiaries. Such indebtedness includes the Prospect Loan, the KBC Facilities, the 2013 Term Loans, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2 Exhibitor Notes.

Prospect Loan

In February 2013, our DC Holdings, AccessDM and Phase 2 DC subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement (the “Prospect Loan”) with Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect”), pursuant to which DC Holdings borrowed $70.0 million . The Prospect Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 9.0% (with a 2.0% LIBOR floor), which is payable in cash, and at an additional 2.50% to be accrued as an increase to the aggregate principal amount of the Prospect Loan until the 2013 Credit Agreement is paid off, at which time all accrued interest will be payable in cash.

Collections of DC Holdings accounts receivable are deposited into accounts designated to pay certain operating expenses, principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses relating to the Prospect Loan. On a quarterly basis, if funds remain after the payment of all such amounts, they are applied to prepay the Prospect Loan. Amounts designated for these purposes, included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled and as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. We also maintain a debt service fund under the Prospect Loan for future principal and interest payments. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the debt service fund had a balance of $1.0 million , which is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Prospect Loan matures on March 31, 2021 and may be accelerated upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement) or other events of default as set forth therein and would be subject to mandatory acceleration upon insolvency of DC Holdings. The Bison transaction did not accelerate the maturity date. We are permitted to pay the full outstanding balance of the Prospect Loan at any time after the second anniversary of the initial borrowing, subject to the following prepayment penalties:


•	5.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the second and third anniversaries of issuance;


•	4.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the third and fourth anniversaries of issuance;


•	3.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the fourth and fifth anniversaries of issuance;


•	2.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the fifth and sixth anniversary of issuance;


•	1.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the sixth and seventh anniversaries of issuance; and


•	No penalty if the balance of the Prospect Loan, including accrued interest, is prepaid thereafter.

The Prospect Loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of the stock of CDF2 Holdings, our wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiary, the stock of AccessDM, owned by DC Holdings, and the stock of our Phase 2 DC subsidiary, and is also guaranteed by AccessDM and Phase 2 DC. We provide limited financial support to the Prospect Loan not to exceed $1.5 million per year in the event financial performance does not meet certain defined benchmarks.

The Prospect Loan contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default.

KBC Facilities

In December 2008, we began entering into multiple credit facilities to fund the purchase of Systems to be installed in movie theatres as part of our Phase II Deployment. There were no draws on the KBC Facilities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The following table presents a summary of the KBC Facilities (dollar amounts in thousands):

^2.	Each of the facilities bears interest at the three-month LIBOR rate, which was 2.32% at March 31, 2018 , plus the interest rate noted above.

Credit Facility and Cinedigm Revolving Loans

On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with EWB for a maximum of $19.0 million in revolving loans outstanding at any one time and a maturity date of March 31, 2020, which may be extended for two successive one-year periods at the sole discretion of the lender, subject to certain conditions.

Interest under the Credit Facility is due monthly at a rate elected by the Company of either 0.5% plus Prime Rate or 3.25% above LIBOR Rate established by the lender.

On March 30, 2018, the Company borrowed $8.2 million on the Credit Facility. The proceeds from this credit facility were used to pay the $7.8 million outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Cinedigm Revolving Loan.

Availability under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018 is $9.8 million .

Bison Note Payable

As discussed in Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Liquidity , the Company entered into a Loan with Bison for $10 million and issued Warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. See Note 6 - Stockholders' Deficit for further discussion of the warrants. The warrants were recorded as debt issuance costs.

The Loan was made in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Bison entered into on June 29, 2017. The Loan matures on June 28, 2021 and bears interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The principal is payable upon maturity.

Convertible Notes

On April 29, 2015, we issued $64.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior convertible notes payable (the "Convertible Notes") that bear interest at a rate of 5.5% per year, payable semiannually.

On July 10, 2017, we entered into exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with holders of the remaining Convertible Notes representing approximately 99% of the outstanding principal amount, pursuant to which $50.6 million of the Convertible Notes were surrendered by such holders in exchange for $17.6 million cash, 3,536,783 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million in second lien notes under the Loan Agreement during the year ended March 31, 2018. As a result of the exchanges, we recorded debt conversion expense and loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $4.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2018. For the year ended March 31, 2017, $5.4 million of debt conversion expense and loss on extinguishment was recognized on the conversion of $13.4 million of Convertible Notes.

F-21

Second Secured Lien Notes

On July 14, 2016, we entered into a Second Lien Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), under which we may borrow up to $15.0 million , subject to certain limitations imposed on us regarding the number of shares that we may issue in connection with the loans. During the year ended March 31, 2018 , we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million under the Loan Agreement and had an outstanding balance of $10.5 million as of March 31, 2018. The Loan Agreement matures on June 30, 2019 and bears interest at 12.75% , payable 7.5% in cash and 5.25% in cash or in kind at our option. In addition, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we are required to issue 98,000 shares of our Class A common stock for every $1 million borrowed, subject to prorata adjustments. As of March 31, 2018, we have issued 906,450 shares of Class A common stock cumulatively under the Loan Agreement. The Loans may be prepaid without premium or penalty and contain customary covenants, representations and warranties. The obligations under the Loans are guaranteed by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries. We have pledged substantially all of our assets, except those assets related to our digital cinema deployment business, to secure payment on the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement was amended on August 4, 2016, October 7, 2016, and March 31, 2017 to facilitate subsequent borrowing transactions and clarify certain terms of the shares issuable in connection with the loans.

2013 Notes

In October 2013, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which we sold notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “2013 Notes”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “2013 Warrants”) to such investors. We allocated a fair value of $1.6 million to the 2013 Warrants, which was recorded as a discount to the 2013 Notes and is being amortized through the maturity of the 2013 Notes as interest expense.

The principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Notes is due on October 21, 2018. The 2013 Notes bear interest at 9.0% per annum, payable in quarterly installments over the term of the 2013 Notes. The 2013 Notes may be redeemed at any time, subject to certain premiums.

Zvi Rhine, a member of our Board of Directors, is a holder of $0.5 million of the 2013 Notes as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.

The aggregate principal repayments on our notes payable, including anticipated PIK interest, are scheduled to be as follows (dollars in thousands):

6.	STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

COMMON STOCK

On October 31, 2017, the Company filed a Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, pursuant to which (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance was increased to 60,000,000 shares, (ii) share transfer restrictions under Article Fourth were eliminated and (iii) two inactive classes of capital stock, the Class B common stock and the Series B Junior Participating preferred stock, were eliminated.

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement with Bison, we sold 19,666,667 shares of our Class A common stock to Bison, and as a result Bison became a majority shareholder of the outstanding Class A common stock.

On November 1, 2017, Christopher J. McGurk entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company (the “McGurk SPA”) pursuant to which, in connection with the transactions under the Bison Agreement, Mr. McGurk purchased 333,333 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share, which was paid by the cancellation of $500,000 principal amount under the Loan Agreement.

F-22

During the year ended March 31, 2018, we issued 4,780,998 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for Convertible Notes and Second Lien Loans, as compensation to the board of directors, as payment of preferred stock dividends, as settlement of an obligation to a content provider, and as awards to employees. See Note - 8 Supplemental Cash Flow

Disclosure.

PREFERRED STOCK

Cumulative dividends in arrears on the preferred stock at March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $0.1 million . In April 2018 , we paid preferred stock dividends accrued at March 31, 2018 in the form of 64,194 shares of our Class A common stock.

TREASURY STOCK

In November 2017, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement which accelerated the vesting of all its outstanding unvested equity awards. As a result, 134,698 shares of vested restricted stock were surrendered to the Company by employees in payment for withholding taxes, and were placed in treasury and are no longer outstanding.

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes in April 2015, the Company and a financial institution (the "Forward Counterparty") which is one of the lenders under our credit agreement, entered into a privately negotiated forward stock purchase transaction, pursuant to which we paid $11.4 million to purchase 1,179,138 shares of our Class A common stock for

settlement at any time prior to the fifth year anniversary of the issuance date of the notes. These shares were settled in full during the year ended March 31, 2018 and moved these share amounts from additional paid in capital to treasury shares.

These shares are no longer outstanding.

CINEDIGM’S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Stock Based Compensation Awards

Awards issued under our Second Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2000 Plan") may be in any of the following forms (or a combination thereof) (i) stock option awards; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) stock or restricted stock or restricted stock units; or (iv) performance awards. The 2000 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholders having more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject to the continuous service of the participant. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options are set at the discretion of our compensation committee. On November 1, 2017, upon the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as a result of which there was a change of control of the Company, all outstanding unvested stock options (incentive and non-statutory) and shares of restricted stock vested immediately and the options became fully exercisable.

In connection with the grants of stock options and shares of restricted stock under the 2000 Plan, we and the participants have executed stock option agreements and notices of restricted stock awards setting forth the terms of the grants. The 2000 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 2,380,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to employees, outside directors and consultants.

At the August 31, 2017 Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan”), the Company’s new equity incentive plan. The 2017 Plan replaced the 2000 Plan, and applies to employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company. The 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,098,270 shares of Class A common stock, in the form of various awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and cash awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to administer the 2017 Plan and make grants thereunder. The approval of the 2017 Plan does not affect awards already granted under the 2000 Plan. No awards were granted under the 2017 Plan during the year ended March 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes the activity of the 2000 Plan related to shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options:

STOCK OPTIONS ISSUED OUTSIDE CINEDIGM’S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The employees received options to purchase an aggregate of 62,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $17.50 per share. As of March 31, 2018, 40,500 of such options remained outstanding, were fully vested and will expire in October 2023.

In December 2010, we issued options to purchase 450,000 shares of Class A common stock outside of the 2000 Plan as part of our Chief Executive Officer's initial employment agreement with the Company. Such options have exercise prices per share between $15.00 and $50.00 , all of which were vested as of December 2013 and will expire in December 2020. As of March 31, 2018 , all such options remained outstanding.

The warrants issued in connection with the Second Secured Lien Notes (See Note 5) to Ronald L. Chez, at the time a member of our Board of Directors, contain a cashless exercise provision and customary anti-dilution rights.

Warrants to purchase Class A common stock issued in connection with the Convertible Notes exchange transaction were issued on December 22, 2016, became exercisable six months after issuance and contain customary anti-dilution provisions. The value of the warrants issued in connection with the Exchange Agreement was $0.2 million , determined by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, assuming a 5 -year life, a risk free rate interest of 2.0% and an expected volatility of 76.4% .

The Warrants issued to Bison have a 5 -year term and are immediately exercisable at $1.80 per share. The Warrants contain certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company valued the Warrants at $1.1 million , on a relative fair value basis, using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming a 5 -year life, a risk-free rate of interest of 2.2% and an expected volatility of 74.3% . These Warrants were recorded as debt issuance costs.


7.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

Our capital lease obligations primarily related to computer equipment. On October 28, 2016, we entered into an agreement to fully terminate our lease obligation on the Pavilion Theater, a facility that was accounted for as a capital lease and for which we were considered the primary obligor. Contemporaneously, we also terminated a sublease agreement that we had with the tenant of the Pavilion Theater. As a result of the lease termination, we wrote off the property and equipment and capital lease obligation related to the facility and recognized a gain on the transaction of $2.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2017.

We also operate from leased properties under non-cancelable operating lease agreements, certain of which contain escalating lease clauses. As of March 31, 2018 , obligations under non-cancelable operating leases are due as follows (dollars in thousands):

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in our ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating losses that may be utilized in future years. During the year ended March 31, 2018, approximately $233.5 million of our net operating losses became subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 in connection with the consummation in November 2017 of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Bison. It is estimated that approximately $209.0 million of our net operating losses will not be able to be utilized because of the ownership change. As a result of the ownership change, we reduced our gross deferred tax assets and valuation allowance by $81.9 million as of March 31, 2018, which has no impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018. Net operating losses of approximately $3.7 million , which were generated since November 2017, are currently not subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Future significant ownership changes could cause a portion or all of these net operating losses to expire before utilization.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, we realized approximately $26.2 million of cancellation of indebtedness income for tax purposes, which is excluded from taxable income under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 108. In connection with the exclusion, we reduced our net operating losses by approximately $26.2 million . This gave rise to a reduction of approximately $10.2 million of our gross deferred tax assets and valuation allowance as of March 31, 2018, which has no impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted in December 2017. Among other things, the Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 21 percent as of January 1, 2018 and eliminated the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for corporations. Since the deferred tax assets are expected to reverse in a future year, it has been tax effected using the 21% federal corporate tax rate. As a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate, we decreased our gross deferred tax assets by approximately $7.2 million which was offset by a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance as of March 31, 2018, which has no impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company has an investment in a foreign subsidiary for which the cumulative earnings and profits of this entity was estimated to be negative. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a provisional amount for the transition tax enacted under the Act.

On December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which allows a measurement period, not to exceed one year, to finalize the accounting for the income tax impacts of the Tax Act. Until the accounting for the income tax impacts of the Tax Act is complete, the reported amounts are based on reasonable estimates, are disclosed as provisional and reflect any adjustments in subsequent periods as they refine their estimates or complete their accounting of such tax effects.

We have provided a valuation allowance equal to our net deferred tax assets for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. We are required to recognize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets if we believe that it is more likely than not that such assets will

F-31

be realized, given the weight of all available evidence. We assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered both positive and negative evidence, including recent financial performance, projections of future taxable income and scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities. We decreased the valuation allowance by $90.8 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to write-downs of the deferred tax assets due to a Section 382 ownership change limitation on the net operating losses, a Section 108 tax attribute reduction, and other decreases in the deferred tax assets related to changes in the tax rates due to the Act. We increased the valuation allowance by $2.4 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 due to increases in the deferred tax assets. We will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based upon actual and forecasted operating results.

At March 31, 2018, we had Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24.3 million available in the United States of America ("US") and approximately $0.6 million in Australia to reduce future taxable income. The US federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2020. The Australian net operating loss carryforward does not expire.

At March 31, 2018, we had Federal and state capital loss carryforwards of approximately $11.4 million available to reduce future capital gains. The capital loss carryforwards were generated during the year ended March 31, 2014 and expire after the year ending March 31, 2019. During the year ended March 31, 2017, approximately $9.0 million of capital loss carryforwards that were generated during the year ended March 31, 2011, expired.

The differences between the United States statutory federal tax rate and our effective tax rate are as follows:



	For the fiscal years ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Provision at the U.S. statutory federal tax rate	30.8	%	34.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal benefit	9.0	%	6.6	%
Change in valuation allowance	501.8	%	(19.2	)%
Non-deductible expenses	(2.7	)%	(11.6	)%
Net operating loss decrease under IRC 382	(511.3	)%	—	%
Effect of tax reform	(40.2	)%	—	%
Expired capital loss carry forward	—	%	(20.8	)%
Losses from non-consolidated entities	10.0	%	10.7	%
Other	0.4	%	(1.4	)%
Income tax expense	(2.2	)%	(1.7	)%

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and Australia. For federal income tax purposes, our fiscal 2015 through 2018 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations. For state tax purposes, our fiscal 2014 through 2018 tax years generally remain open for examination by most of the tax authorities under a four-year statute of limitations. For Australian tax purposes, fiscal tax years ended March 31, 2016 through 2018 are open for examination.

Brown and Rhine, each of whom filed one Form 4 late, in all cases to disclose one transaction.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to all members of the Board, executive officers and employees. Such code of ethics is available on our Internet website, www.cinedigm.com. We intend to disclose any amendment to, or waiver of, a provision of our code of ethics by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.

Shareholder Communications

The Board currently does not provide a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. In the opinion of the Board, it is appropriate for the Company not to have such a process in place because the Board believes there is currently not a need for a formal policy due to, among other things, the limited number of stockholders of the Company. While the Board will, from time to time, review the need for a formal policy, at the present time, stockholders who wish to contact the Board may do so by submitting any communications to the Company’s Secretary, Mr. Loffredo, 45 West 36th Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10018 , with an instruction to forward the communication to a particular director or the Board as a whole. Mr. Loffredo will receive the correspondence and forward it to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed.

MATTERS RELATING TO OUR GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board oversees the Company’s risk management including understanding the risks the Company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, as well as understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the Company. The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular updates from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, human resources, employment, and strategic risks.

The Company’s leadership structure currently consists of the combined role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and a separate Lead Independent Director. Mr. O'Brien serves as our Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors, serving as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, reviewing information sent to the Board, consulting with the Nominating Committee with regard to the membership and performance evaluations of the Board and Board committee members, calling meetings of and setting agendas for the independent directors, and serving as liaison for communications with stockholders.

The Board intends to meet at least quarterly and the independent directors serving on the Board intend to meet in executive session (i.e., without the presence of any non-independent directors and management) immediately following regularly scheduled Board meetings. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (the “Last Fiscal Year”), the Board held seven (7) meetings, and the Board acted four (4) times by unanimous written consent in lieu of holding a meeting. Each current member of the Board, who was then serving, attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served in the Last Fiscal Year. No individual may be nominated for election to the Board after his or her 73rd birthday. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.

The Company does not currently have a policy in place regarding attendance by Board members at the Company’s annual meetings. However, each of the current directors , who was then serving, attended the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board has three standing committees, consisting of an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O'Brien and Rhine. Mr. Rhine is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held three (3) meetings in the Last Fiscal Year. The Audit Committee has met with the Company’s management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to review and help ensure the adequacy of its internal controls and to review the results and scope of the auditors’ engagement and other financial reporting and control matters. Mr. Rhine is financially literate, and Mr. Rhine is financially sophisticated, as those terms are defined under the rules of Nasdaq. Mr. Rhine is also a financial expert, as such term is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Messrs. Brown, Rhine, O’Connor and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.

The Audit Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Audit Charter”). The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Company has adequate internal controls and is required to meet with the Company’s auditors to review these internal controls and to discuss other financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditors. Additionally, the Audit Committee is responsible for the review and oversight of all related party transactions and other potential conflict of interest situations between the Company and its officers, directors, employees and principal stockholders. The Audit Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website at www.cinedigm.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine. Mr. O’Brien is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met two (2) times, and acted two (2) times by unanimous written consent in lieu of holding a meeting, during the Last Fiscal Year. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation package of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and, based on recommendations by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, approves the levels of compensation and benefits payable to the Company’s other executive officers, reviews general policy matters relating to employee compensation and benefits and recommends to the entire Board, for its approval, stock option and other equity-based award grants to its executive officers, employees and consultants and discretionary bonuses to its executive officers and employees. The Compensation Committee has the authority to appoint and delegate to a sub-committee the authority to make grants and administer bonus and compensation plans and programs. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq.

The Compensation Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Compensation Charter”). The Compensation Charter sets forth the duties, authorities and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website at www.cinedigm.com.

The Compensation Committee, when determining executive compensation (including under the executive compensation program, as discussed below under the heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis), evaluates the potential risks associated with the compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs are designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to the Company’s overall compensation philosophy and do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior. In general, the Company compensates its executives in a combination of cash and stock options, although the Company has also granted restricted stock and restricted stock units. The stock options contain vesting provisions, typically of proportional annual vesting over a three- or four-year period which encourages the executives, on a long-term basis, to strive to enhance the value of such compensation as measured by the trading price of the Class A common stock. The Compensation Committee does not believe that this type of compensation encourages excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior. As a result, we do not believe that risks relating to our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company intends to recapture compensation as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, there have been no instances where it needed to recapture any compensation.

During the Last Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee engaged Aon, a compensation consulting firm. The consultant met with the Compensation Committee multiple times during the Last Fiscal Year and provided guidance for cash and equity bonus compensation to executive officers and directors, which the Compensation Committee considered in reaching its determinations of such compensation. In addition, the consultant was available to respond to specific inquiries throughout the year.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine. Mr. O’Brien is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. None of such members was, at any time during the Last Fiscal Year or at any previous time, an officer or employee of the Company.

None of the Company’s directors or executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of the Company’s board of directors. No member of the Compensation Committee had any relationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine. Mr. Brown is the Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee held one (1) meeting during the Last Fiscal Year. The Nominating Committee evaluates and approves nominations for annual election to, and to fill any vacancies in, the Board and recommends to the Board the directors to serve on committees of the Board. The Nominating Committee also approves the compensation package of the Company’s directors. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq.

The Nominating Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Nominating Charter”). The Nominating Charter sets forth the duties and responsibilities of the Nominating Committee and the general skills and characteristics that the Nominating Committee employs to determine the individuals to nominate for election to the Board. The Nominating Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website at www.cinedigm.com.

The Nominating Committee will consider any candidates recommended by stockholders. In considering a candidate submitted by stockholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. Nevertheless, the Board may choose not to consider an unsolicited recommendation if no vacancy exists on the Board and/or the Board does not perceive a need to increase the size of the Board.

There are no specific minimum qualifications that the Nominating Committee believes must be met by a Nominating Committee-recommended director nominee. However, the Nominating Committee believes that director candidates should, among other things, possess high degrees of integrity and honesty; have literacy in financial and business matters; have no material affiliations with direct competitors, suppliers or vendors of the Company; and preferably have experience in the Company’s business and other relevant business fields (for example, finance, accounting, law and banking). The Nominating Committee considers diversity together with the other factors considered when evaluating candidates but does not have a specific policy in place with respect to diversity.

Members of the Nominating Committee meet in advance of each of the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders to identify and evaluate the skills and characteristics of each director candidate for nomination for election as a director of the Company. The Nominating Committee reviews the candidates in accordance with the skills and qualifications set forth in the Nominating Charter and the rules of the Nasdaq. There are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates director nominees based on whether or not the nominee is recommended by a stockholder.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for its non-employee directors, pursuant to which the non-employee directors are required to acquire, within three (3) years, and maintain until separation from the Company, shares equal in value to a minimum of three (3) times the aggregate value of the annual cash and stock retainer (not including committee or per-meeting fees) payable to such director. Shares acquired as Board retainer fees and shares owned by an investment entity with which a non-employee director is affiliated may be counted toward the stock ownership requirement.

I.	Compensation Program Overview

As the Company has evolved, so too has the compensation program. Going forward, the Company is focused on improving both shareholder returns and its cash position. To help achieve this goal, the compensation program is intended to reward the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and other employees for achieving strategic goals and increasing shareholder value and includes a formal performance-based Management Annual Incentive Plan (“MAIP”) based on predetermined, specific target award levels and performance metrics and goals. The MAIP is predicated on attaining goals that are critical to Cinedigm’s future success and is designed to reward the level of collaboration across divisions and segments required to achieve corporate financial goals. No MAIP bonuses were paid to the NEOs for Fiscal 2018.

The compensation program consists of base salary, annual incentives, and long-term equity compensation. In addition, all of our NEOs receive some modest personal benefits and perquisites. Retirement benefits are accumulated through the Company’s 401(k) plan which is open to all employees. The Company does not provide supplemental retirement benefits for NEOs. One of our named executive officers currently has an employment agreement.

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the executive compensation elements and assesses the integrity of the compensation program as a whole to ensure that it continues to be aligned with the Company’s compensation objectives and supports the attainment of Company goals. Periodically, the Company reviews competitive compensation levels, mix of pay, and practices to ensure all compensation program features continue to be in line with the market, while still reflecting the unique needs of our business model. Additionally, in response to business and talent needs, executive management brings compensation proposals to the Compensation Committee, which then reviews the proposal and either approves or denies them.


II.	Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Cinedigm’s executive compensation philosophy is focused on enabling the Company to hire and retain qualified and motivated executives, while meeting its business needs and objectives. To be consistent with this philosophy, the executive compensation program has been designed around the following objectives:


·	Provide competitive compensation levels to enable the recruitment and retention of highly qualified executives.


·	Design incentive programs that strengthen the link between pay and corporate and business unit performance encouraging and rewarding excellence and contributions to support Cinedigm’s success.


·	Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders through grants of equity-based compensation that also provide opportunities for ongoing executive share ownership.

An overarching principle in delivering on these objectives is to ensure that compensation decisions are made in the Company’s best financial interests such that incentive awards are both affordable and reasonable, taking into account Company performance and considering the interests of all stakeholders.


III.	Pay Mix

The Company’s pay philosophy has been evolving from an emphasis on fixed pay to one that believes a substantial portion of each executive’s compensation should be at risk and dependent upon performance. While the Compensation Committee has not adopted a targeted mix of either long-term to short-term, fixed to variable, or equity and non-equity compensation, it has taken steps to increase the portion of variable compensation. Steps in this direction include the introduction of the Management Annual Incentive Plan and more regular equity grants.


IV.	Competitive Positioning

Role of Consultant

The Compensation Committee has engaged Aon to provide guidance with respect to executive compensation, including bonuses, incentives and compensation for new hires.

Competitive Assessment

The Compensation Committee has not defined a target pay positioning for the CEO or other Named Executive Officers, nor does it commit to providing a specific percentile or pay range. In the most recent competitive assessment analysis conducted in connection with establishing or renewing our NEO’s employment arrangements, the CEO’s total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus long-term incentives and equity awards) was below the peer group median. The Compensation Committee viewed such positioning as reasonably appropriate because of Cinedigm’s size relative to the peer group and its performance during the fiscal year.

The compensation for Mr. Edell was initially assessed in 2014 at the time of his initial employment agreement, and for Mr. Sondheim in 2013 (also at the time of his initial employment agreement); pay positioning for those roles is also conservative relative to the peer group median for the same reasons as noted in the CEO discussion above. It is the belief of the Compensation Committee that the available talent pool to fill these positions is broader than the pool for the CEO and therefore, that their pay levels, and potential opportunity for wealth creation through stock grants, are robust enough to retain and motivate them.

As the Company’s performance improves and the business stabilizes, the competitiveness of Cinedigm’s executive compensation for NEOs should also improve.

The Cinedigm executive compensation peer group includes 16 companies with median revenues of $350 million including similar, but smaller, media/entertainment businesses, some technology/software companies, and some similar, but larger, media/entertainment businesses.

Current Peer Group



Avid Technology	Lions Gate Entertainment
Digimarc Corp.	National CineMedia
Digital River	Netflix Inc.
Dts Inc.	RealD Inc.
Harmonic Inc.	Rentrack Corp.
IMAX Corp.	Rovi Corp.
Leaf Group Ltd. (1)	Seachange International Inc.
Limelight Networks Inc.	Westwood One Inc. (2)

(1) The company was formerly known as Demand Media, Inc. and changed its name to Leaf Group Ltd. in November 2016.

(2) The company was formerly known as Dial Global, Inc. and changed its name to Westwood One, Inc. in September 2013.

In connection with the establishment of a new employment agreement for Chris McGurk, Aon provided compensation benchmark market data relative to other Chief Executive Officers based on the following two sources:

All Companies participating in Aon’s 2017 Total Compensation Measurement database with annual revenues less than $500 million and excluding Chain Restaurants (Median revenues equal to $230 million); and

2017 Proxy disclosures based on the following organizations from industry sectors similar to peer group companies listed above: Avid Technology, Brightcove Inc., Digimarc Corp., Dolphin Entertainment, Harmonic Inc., IMAX Corp., Leaf Group, Limelight Networks, National Cinemedia, RealNetworks Inc., RLJ Entertainment, and Seachange Intl (Median revenues equal to $142 million).


V.	Elements of Compensation

Compensation for executive officers is comprised primarily of three main components:


•	base salary;


•	annual incentive awards; and


•	long-term incentive equity grants.

We believe that our compensation program encourages our employees to remain focused on both our short-term and long-term goal: our MAIP measures and rewards business and individual performance on an annual basis, while our equity awards typically vest in installments of three to four years and reward strong share price appreciation, encouraging our executives to focus on the long-term performance of our company.

Base Salary

Base salaries are fixed compensation with the primary function of aiding in attraction and retention. These salaries are reviewed periodically, as well as at the time of a promotion, change in responsibilities, or when employment arrangements and/or agreements are renewed. Any increases are based on an evaluation of the previous year’s performance of the Company and the executive, the relative strategic importance of the position, market conditions, and competitive pay levels (though, as noted earlier, the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile or range). No Named Executive Officers received a salary increase during fiscal 2018.

Our NEO’s salaries will remain at current levels throughout the new fiscal year, with no salary increases planned, unless an increase is determined as a result of the negotiated renewal of a Named Executive’s employment arrangements.

Annual Incentive Awards

Commencing with the 2010 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee implemented a formal annual incentive plan. This plan was used for the 2017 fiscal year and covered 22 Cinedigm employees including the NEOs. The plan established threshold and maximum levels of incentive awards defined as a percentage of a participant’s salary.

MAIP Potential Awards



Executive Officer	Threshold		Target (as a % of base salary)		Maximum
Chris McGurk	37.5	%	75	%	150	%
Jeffrey Edell	25	%	50	%	100	%
William S. Sondheim	17.5	%	35	%	70	%
Gary S. Loffredo	25	%	50	%	100	%

Payouts for the NEOs were determined based on achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and other performance targets related to individual performance. Mr. Loffredo who led a division had a portion of his award determined by that division’s EBITDA performance as compared to EBITDA goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year. We do not disclose division targets or individual goals, as we believe that such disclosure would result in competitive harm. Based on our experience in the divisions, we believe these targets were set sufficiently high to provide incentive to achieve a high level of performance. We believe it is difficult, although not unattainable, for the targets to be reached and, therefore, no more likely than unlikely that the targets will be reached. For Mr. McGurk and Mr. Edell 80% of their 2018 Fiscal Year MAIP award is determined based on achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and 20% based on individual performance.

For Mr. Sondheim, 60% of his fiscal 2017 MAIP award is determined based on the achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, 20% is based on achievement of division EBITDA, and 20% is based on individual performance. For Mr. Loffredo, 60% of his 2018 Fiscal Year MAIP award is determined based on the achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, 20% is based on achievement of division EBITDA, and 20% is based on individual performance.

On November 7, 2017, the Company paid bonuses to our NEOs in conjunction with the Bison transaction and consistent with the MAIP allocations.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

The Compensation Committee annually considers long-term incentive awards, for which it has the authority to grant a variety of equity-based awards. The primary objective of such awards is to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders by increasing executive share ownership and fostering a long-term focus. In recent years, such awards have been made after fiscal year end in order to permit consideration of year-end performance.

Long-term incentive awards for the NEOs have historically consisted of stock options and, on occasion, RSUs and restricted stock. These grants were designed to aid in retention, provide a discretionary reward for performance, increase executive ownership, and focus NEOs on improving share price.


VI.	Additional Compensation Policies and Practices

Mr. McGurk’s Compensation Arrangements

Mr. McGurk joined Cinedigm in January 2011 as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Accordingly, Mr. McGurk’s compensation package was created in line with the Company’s current compensation philosophy of a base salary coupled with variable compensation including a large portion of equity-based compensation, through stock options, linked to stock price performance. When negotiating Mr. McGurk’s employment agreement, the Company sought for salary and bonus amounts that were in line with peer group amounts and that would provide incentive for Mr. McGurk with a view toward increasing stockholder value. The Company determined that stock options to purchase 450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock would align Mr. McGurk’s interests with stockholders and, further, that the escalating exercise price structure of the options (the options are grouped in three tranches which have exercise prices of $15.00, $30.00 and $50.00 per share, respectively) would provide a strong incentive for Mr. McGurk to improve stock performance. Mr. McGurk and the Company entered into a new employment agreement in August 2013, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. McGurk received a bonus of $250,000 and a grant of stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a price of $14.00 per share and vesting in three equal annual installments.

In addition, Mr. McGurk was entitled to receive a retention bonus of $750,000, payable in three equal installments on March 31 of each of 2015, 2016 and 2017 in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.

A summary of Mr. McGurk’s compensation package is located under the heading “Employment agreements and arrangements between the Company and Named Executives” of this Item.

Employment Agreement for other NEOs

The Company currently provides employment arrangements to Messrs. Edell, Sondheim and Loffredo, for retention during periods of uncertainty and operational challenge. Additionally, the employment arrangements include non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. The provisions for severance benefits are at typical competitive levels. See “Employment agreements and arrangements between the Company and Named Executives” of this Item for a description of the material terms of Mr. McGurk’s employment agreement, Messrs. Edell's, Sondheim’s, and Loffredo's employment arrangements.

Personal Benefits and Perquisites

In addition to the benefits provided to all employees and grandfathered benefits (provided to all employees hired before January 1, 2005), named executives are eligible for an annual physical and supplemental life insurance coverage of $200,000.

It is the Company’s policy to provide minimal and modest perquisites to the named executives. Most perquisites previously provided, under old arrangements, including automobile allowances, have been eliminated.

Recoupment (“Clawback”) Policy

The Company intends to recapture compensation as currently required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and as may be required by the rules promulgated in response to Dodd-Frank. However, there have been no instances to date where it needed to recapture any compensation.

Additionally, we recognize that our compensation program will be subject to the forthcoming amendments to stock exchange listing standards required by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires that stock exchange listing standards be amended to require issuers to adopt a policy providing for the recovery from any current or former executive officer of any incentive-based compensation (including stock options) awarded during the three-year period prior to an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance of the issuer with financial reporting requirements. We intend to adopt such a clawback policy which complies with all applicable standards when such rules become available.

Restriction on Speculative Transactions

The Company’s Insider Trading and Disclosure Policy restricts employees and directors of the Company from engaging in speculative transactions in Company securities, including short sales, and discourages employees and directors of the Company from engaging in hedging transactions, including “cashless” collars, forward sales, and equity swaps, that may indirectly involve short sales. Pre-clearance by the Company is required for any such transaction.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The following report does not constitute soliciting material and is not considered filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Employment agreements and arrangements between the Company and Named Executives

Christopher J. McGurk . On August 22, 2013, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. McGurk (the “2013 McGurk Employment Agreement”) which superseded his initial employment agreement, pursuant to which McGurk will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. The term of the 2013 McGurk Employment Agreement commenced on January 3, 2011 and ended on March 31, 2017. Pursuant to the 2013 McGurk Employment Agreement, Mr. McGurk received an annual base salary of $600,000 subject to annual reviews and increases in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Mr. McGurk was entitled to receive a bonus of $250,000. In addition, Mr. McGurk was entitled to receive a retention bonus of $750,000, payable in three equal installments on March 31 of each of 2015, 2016 and 2017 in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion Under the MAIP, Mr. McGurk’s target bonus for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 was $600,000.

Also pursuant to the 2013 McGurk Employment Agreement, Mr. McGurk received a grant of non-statutory options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which options have an exercise price of $1.40 and a term of ten (10) years, and one-third (1/3) of which vested on March 31 of each of 2015, 2016 and 2017.

The 2013 McGurk Employment Agreement further provided that Mr. McGurk is entitled to participate in all benefit plans provided to senior executives of the Company. In addition, if the Company terminated Mr. McGurk’s employment without cause or he resigned with good reason, the 2013 McGurk Employment Agreement provided that he would be entitled to receive his base salary through the later of March 31, 2017 or twelve (12) months following such termination as well as bonus earned and approved by the Compensation Committee, reimbursement of expenses incurred and benefits accrued prior to the termination date.

(2)	Reflects stock options which were not granted under the 2000 Plan .

The 2000 Plan

Our Board originally adopted the 2000 Plan on June 1, 2000 and our shareholders approved the 2000 Plan by written consent in July 2000. Certain terms of the Plan were last amended and approved by our shareholders in September 2016. Under the 2000 Plan, we may grant incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other equity-based awards to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The primary purpose of the 2000 Plan is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate our employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The term of the 2000 Plan expires on June 1, 2020. The 2000 Plan has been replaced by the 2017 Plan, and no new awards will be granted from the 2000 Plan; however, the adoption of the 2017 Plan did not affect awards already granted under the 2000 Plan.

Options granted under the 2000 Plan expire ten years following the date of grant (or such shorter period of time as may be provided in a stock option agreement or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to stockholders who own greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company) and are subject to restrictions on transfer. Options granted under the Plan generally vest over periods of up to three or four years. The 2000 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, and may be amended or terminated by the Board, although no amendment or termination may adversely affect the right of any individual with respect to any outstanding option without the consent of such individual. The 2000 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options with exercise prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to stockholders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Incentive and non-statutory stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is generally subject to the continuous service of the optionee, except for consultants. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options may be set at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. Upon a change of control of the Company, all options (incentive and non‑statutory) that have not previously vested will vest immediately and become fully exercisable. Options covering no more than 50,000 shares may be granted to one participant during any calendar year unless pursuant to a multi-year award, in which case no more than options covering 50,000 shares per year of the award may be granted, and during which period no additional options may be granted to such participant.

Grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units are subject to vesting requirements, generally vesting over periods up to three years, determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in notices to the participants. Grants of stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units shall not exceed 40% of the total number of shares available to be issued under the 2000 Plan.

Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) consist of the right to the monetary equivalent of the increase in value of a specified number of shares over a specified period of time. Upon exercise, SARs may be paid in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof. Grants of SARs are subject to vesting requirements, similar to those of stock options, determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in agreements between the Company and the participants. RSUs shall be similar to restricted stock except that no Class A Common Stock is actually awarded to the Participant on the grant date of the RSUs and the Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to pay such RSUs upon vesting in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof.

for any performance award must be at least 12 months. Grants of performance awards shall not cover the issuance of shares that would exceed 20% of the total number of shares available to be issued under the 2000 Plan, and no more than 500,000 shares pursuant to any performance awards shall be granted to one participant in a calendar year unless pursuant to a multi-year award. The terms of grants of performance awards would be set forth in agreements between the Company and the participants.

The 2017 Plan

Our Board adopted the 2017 Plan on August 7, 2017 and our stockholders approved the 2017 Plan on August 31, 2017. Under the 2017 Plan, we may grant incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other equity-based awards to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The primary purpose of the 2017 Plan is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate our employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

Options granted under the 2017 Plan expire ten years following the date of grant (or such shorter period of time as may be provided in a stock option agreement, or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to stockholders who own greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company) and are subject to restrictions on transfer. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, and may be amended or terminated by the Committee, although no amendment or termination may have a material adverse effect on the rights of any individual with respect to any outstanding option, without the consent of such individual. The exercise prices of stock options granted must be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to stockholders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Incentive and non-statutory stock options granted under the 2017 Plan may be subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is generally subject to the continuous service of the optionee, except for consultants. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options may be set at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. Upon a change of control of the Company, where the Company’s Common Stock does not continue to be publicly traded, unless replacement awards are issued in connection with the transaction, all options (incentive and non-statutory) that have not previously vested will vest immediately and become fully exercisable. Options covering no more than 400,000 shares (300,000, in the aggregate, to all non-employee directors) may be granted to one participant during any calendar year. Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) consist of the right to the monetary equivalent of the increase in value of a specified number of shares over a specified period of time. Upon exercise, SARs may be paid, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof. Grants of SARs are subject to terms determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in agreements between the Company and the participants.

RSUs shall be similar to restricted stock except that no Class A Common Stock is actually awarded to the Participant on the grant date of the RSUs and the Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to pay such RSUs upon vesting in cash or shares of Class A common stock or a combination thereof.

Performance awards consist of awards of stock and other equity-based awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, the market value of the Class A Common Stock, or other securities of the Company, and may be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock, cash or another form of property as the Compensation Committee may determine. Grants of performance awards shall entitle participants to receive an award if the measures of performance established by the Committee are met. Such measures shall be established by the Compensation Committee but the relevant measurement period for any performance award must be at least 12 months. Grants of performance awards shall not cover the issuance of shares that would exceed 20% of the total number of shares available to be issued under the Plan, and no more than 500,000 shares pursuant to any performance awards shall be granted to one participant in a calendar year unless pursuant to a multi-year award. The terms of grants of performance awards would be set forth in agreements between the Company and the participants.

Our Class A common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “CIDM”.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning outstanding equity awards of the Company’s Named Executives at the end of the Last Fiscal Year. All outstanding stock awards reported in this table represent restricted stock that vests in equal annual installments over three years.

The Audit Committee charter does not set forth specific standards to be applied; rather, the Audit Committee reviews each transaction individually on a case-by-case, facts and circumstances basis.

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “Bison Loan Agreement”) with BEMG, pursuant to which the Company borrowed from BEMG $10,000,000 (the “Bison Loan”).

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in the Form 10-K, including a discussion of the acceptability of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards (SAS 61), as may be modified or supplemented, and their judgments as to the acceptability of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management and the Company, including receiving the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented, and has considered the compatibility of any non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted,

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Zvi M. Rhine, Chairman

Peter C. Brown

Patrick W. O'Brien

THE FOREGOING AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT SHALL NOT BE “SOLICITING MATERIAL” OR BE DEEMED “FILED” WITH THE SEC, NOR SHALL SUCH INFORMATION BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE EXCHANGE ACT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE COMPANY SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES IT BY REFERENCE INTO SUCH FILING.

EisnerAmper LLP served as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and the Board has appointed EisnerAmper LLP to do so again for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 .

The Company’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by EisnerAmper LLP for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . In determining whether to approve a particular audit or permitted non-audit service, the Audit Committee will consider, among other things, whether the service is consistent with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service to our Company and whether the service might be expected to enhance our ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. Specifically, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the use of EisnerAmper LLP for detailed, specific types of services within the following categories of non-audit services: acquisition due diligence and audit services; tax services; and reviews and procedures that the Company requests EisnerAmper LLP to undertake on matters not required by laws or regulations. In each case, the Audit Committee has required management to obtain specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee for any engagements.

The aggregate fees billed for professional services by EisnerAmper LLP for these various services were:



	For the fiscal years ended March 31,
Type of Fees	2018		2017
(1) Audit Fees	$	378,600	$	351,000
(2) Audit-Related Fees	—		—
(3) Tax Fees		—	—
(4) All Other Fees	11,000		—
	$	389,600	$	351,000

In the above table, in accordance with the SEC’s definitions and rules, “audit fees” are fees the Company paid EisnerAmper LLP for professional services for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 included in Form 10-K and review of consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into Form S-3 and Form S-8 and included in Form 10-Qs and for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements; “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; “tax fees” are fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning; and “all other fees” are fees for any services not included in the first three categories. All of the services set forth in sections (1) through (4) above were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company retained a firm other than EisnerAmper LLP for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
