Annual Report 2014

Plain-text annual report

2 0 1 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T C I N E D I G M C O R P. | N A S D A Q : C I D M DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, We have been engaged in a three-year process to completely transform Cinedigm to take full advantage of the rapidly evolving digital revolution. Our restructuring efforts – including the sale of three non-core divisions, the acquisition of New Video, the acquisition of Gaiam Inc.’s Entertainment unit, referred to as GVE, and the complete refinancing of our balance sheet – were vital pieces to that transformation. As a result of these strategic moves, Cinedigm has become one of the leading independent content distributors in the United States, holding direct relationships with over 60,000 physical storefronts and digital retailers, including Walmart, Target, iTunes, Netflix, and Amazon, as well as many of the national cable and satellite TV Video-On-Demand platforms. And now, with this core transformation complete, we are leveraging our assets to quickly pivot Cinedigm to be a leader in the emerging over-the-top (OTT) digital networks business. We believe OTT will be the key future growth area in entertainment. We are uniquely well positioned to succeed in this business given the depth of our library, our digital assets and track record, our non-traditional releasing expertise, our marketing experience and our strengthened capital base. We intend to accelerate our investment in OTT to quickly launch a portfolio of channels in partnership with leading brands, and capitalize on our first mover advantage. If we execute well, we can become a narrowcast version of a Hulu or a Netflix or an Amazon. And, from a shareholders perspective, we believe that at a relatively low level of investment and risk, we can deliver rapid growth and, at scale, significant, higher margin recurring revenues and profits from these channels. To be clear, the changes in audience viewing habits and the industry shift to digital are happening much more rapidly than anyone ever expected. This shift is putting significant pressure on entertainment companies as old revenue streams, including the DVD business, decline and new digital platforms emerge. And, Cinedigm is no exception. However, by aggressively managing our physical distribution business, refilling our sales pipeline with new content, supply partners and output deals, while launching several branded OTT channels, we hope to stay ahead of these industry challenges and our larger more well capitalized competitors to secure our future. ENTERTAINMENT HIGHLIGHTS! As referenced earlier, in October 2013 Cinedigm acquired GVE. The combination of GVE’s deep stable of consumer-friendly brands and unique direct retail relationships with both physical and digital platforms, paired with Cinedigm’s strength in the rapidly evolving digital distribution space and over-the-top network businesses, created a complete independent studio with strength in every facet of distribution. Most importantly, it put us in position to succeed in the high potential OTT space. In an important strategic move to support our physical distribution business, Cinedigm expanded its multi-year agreement with Universal Studios Home Entertainment to provide comprehensive supply-chain services across North America for Cinedigm’s DVD and Blu-ray library, importantly reducing product and distribution costs during this time of industry change. The integration of GVE and the move of our supply chain services to Universal was a complicated and extremely time-consuming effort, causing some negative impacts to our sales results while the transition occurred. However, these moves are now nearly complete and we are pleased with our new integrated structure. On the theatrical front, we released 14 movies and acquired the distribution rights to 10 more. We are pleased that our critically acclaimed film Short Term 12 was the best-reviewed limited release of the year. DIGITAL NETWORKS HIGHLIGHTS As mentioned earlier, the OTT digital network business is rapidly emerging and Cinedigm’s strategy for success is clear: content is king ! and strong brands will dominate, generating 3 completely new recurring the Company – advertising, subscriptions and merchandise: revenue streams for • Docurama, our first OTT digital channel, was launched in May, featuring our large catalog of documentary programs • ConTV, in partnership with Wizard World Comic Con, will launch in fall 2014, targeted to the large 18-44 year old fanboy and fangirl audience • The Dove Movie Channel, targeted to families and kids seeking high quality, family-friendly and faith-based content, will launch in early 2015 via a partnership with The Dove Foundation These channels are just the beginning and we expect to announce additional networks and brand partnerships in this space soon. Since we already operate a complete distribution business and digital studio with most of the necessary infrastructure to support these new channels, we anticipate building a much higher margin business here than in our base distribution business. Recent M&A activity in this sector also supports this high valuation creation potential. Launching these channels will require dedicated resources, focused personnel and investments to secure new subscribers, attract advertisers and create compelling content. However, we believe we are well positioned to be successful if we execute properly and choose the right partners. FISCAL YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • Consolidated revenues increased 29% to $104.3 million from the prior year • Non-deployment revenues increased 93% to $55.9 million from the prior year (entertainment and services) • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA declined 1% to $55.7 million from $56.4 million in the prior year due to reduced virtual print fee (VPF) deployment revenues outside Cinedigm’s control • Non-deployment adjusted EBITDA was $9.5 million, increasing 59% from $5.9 million in the prior year • Cinedigm repaid $41.1 million of non-recourse debt from the recurring virtual print fee revenue streams Additionally, during fiscal 2014, we completed three underwritten public offerings, raising an aggregate of approximately $46 million in equity, including roughly $30 million in one offering led by Piper Jaffray, with funds utilized to execute our GVE acquisition and earmarked going forward to support our high potential digital networks business. Finally, a growing publicly traded entity of our size and ambition requires an ever more sophisticated financial organization backed by cohesive systems and financial reporting processes. Looking ahead, we are committed to making the appropriate investments in people and systems in this area to achieve that goal. Together with our digital cinema business, which continues to generate strong recurring revenues, Cinedigm is now positioned strategically as the only small cap public entertainment company poised to take full advantage of the valuation upside potential from the industry shift to digital. We believe that is also a very strong hand to play for our shareholders. On behalf of our Board of Directors and executive team, I would like to thank our employees, customers and shareholders for their continuing confidence and support. Sincerely, Chris McGurk Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ! UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, DC 20549 FORM 10-K (Mark One) ANNUAL REPORT UNDER SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal period ended: March 31, 2014 TRANSITION REPORT UNDER SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the transition period from --- to --- Commission File Number: 000-31810 ___________________________________ Cinedigm Corp.

In this report, “Cinedigm,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to Cinedigm Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. PART I OVERVIEW Cinedigm Corp. (formerly known as Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp.) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”), and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). Cinedigm is (i) a leading distributor of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to over 52,000 titles and episodes released across theatrical, digital, physical, home and mobile entertainment platforms as well as (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets on over 12,000 movies screens in both North America and several international countries. Over the past decade, the Company has played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to its pioneering role in transitioning over 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, the Company, through both organic growth and acquisitions, has become a leading distributor of independent content. The Company distributes products for major brands such as the NFL, 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. Cinedigm collaborates with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted and profitable audiences through (i) theatrical releases, (ii) 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 (iii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray. The Company reports its 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 (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide. The Services segment provides services and support to over 12,000 movie screens in the Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment segments and directly to exhibitors and other third party customers. Included in these 1 services are financial, asset and other management services for a specified fee via service agreements with exhibitors globally. The Content & Entertainment segment is a market leader in three key area of entertainment content distribution - ancillary market aggregation and distribution, theatrical releasing and branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital entertainment channels and applications. DEPLOYMENT The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments consist of the following: Operations of: Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC (“Phase 1 DC”) Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 DC”) Products and services provided: Financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's 3,724 Systems installed nationwide in Phase 1 DC's deployment to theatrical exhibitors. The Company retains 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. Financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's 8,904 Systems installed in the second digital cinema deployment and international deployments, through Phase 2 DC. The Company retains 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 Phase 1 DC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM”), to purchase up to 4,000 Systems for our Phase I Deployment, under an amended framework agreement with Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”). In December 2007, Phase 1 DC completed its Phase I Deployment with 3,724 Systems installed. In October 2007, we formed Phase 2 DC for the administration of up to 10,000 additional Systems for our Phase II Deployment, of which a portion of such Systems have been purchased through an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 B/AIX Corp. (“Phase 2 B/AIX”). As of March 31, 2014, Phase II Deployment had 8,904 of such Systems installed. The business of Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC consists of the ownership and licensing of Systems to theatrical exhibitors and the collection of virtual print fees ("VPFs") from motion picture studios and distributors and 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 Phase 1 DC's Phase I Deployment of Systems, Phase 1 DC has agreements with nine motion picture studios and certain smaller independent studios and exhibitors, allowing Phase 1 DC to collect VPFs and ACFs when content is shown in theatres, in exchange for having facilitated and financed the deployment on 3,724 Systems. Phase 1 DC has agreements with sixteen theatrical exhibitors that license our Systems in order to show digital content distributed by the motion picture studios and other providers, including Cinedigm's Content and Entertainment Group (see Content and Entertainment section below). In connection with the Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 DC has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with eight motion picture studios and certain smaller independent studios and exhibitors for the distribution of digital movie releases to motion picture exhibitors equipped with Systems, and providing for payment of VPFs to Phase 2 DC and Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC ("CDF2"). As of March 31, 2014, Phase 2 DC also entered into master license agreements with 434 exhibitors and CDF2 covering a total of 8,992 screens, whereby the exhibitors agreed to the placement of Systems as part of the Phase II Deployment. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has 8,904 Phase 2 DC Systems installed, including 6,401 screens under the exhibitor-buyer structure ("Exhibitor-Buyer Structure"), 1,049 screens covering 10 exhibitors through non-recourse financing provided by KBC Bank NV (“KBC”), 1,431 screens covering 17 exhibitors through CDF2, and 23 screens under other arrangements with 2 exhibitors. Exhibitors paid an installation fee of up to $2 thousand per screen out of the VPFs collected by the Company's Digital Cinema Services division. The Company manages the billing and collection of VPFs and remits all VPFs collected to the exhibitors, less an administrative fee that will approximate up to 10% of the VPFs collected. For Systems covered under the Exhibitor-Buyer Structure and CDF2, the Company has no debt, property and equipment, financing costs or depreciation recorded to its consolidated financial statements. Cinedigm will continue through June 30, 2014 to deploy Systems under the Exhibitor-Buyer Structure through "drive-in" theatres and will continue to seek further opportunities internationally. For Phase 2 DC Systems the Company owns and finances on a non-recourse basis, it typically receives a similar up to $2 thousand installation fee and an ongoing administrative fee that will approximate up to 10% of VPFs collected. VPFs are earned pursuant to the contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable to Phase 1 DC and to Phase 2 DC according to fixed fee schedules, when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movie theatres. One VPF is payable for every movie title displayed per System upon the initial booking of 2 such movie. The amount of VPF revenue is therefore dependent on the number of unique movie titles released and displayed using the Systems. Phase 2 DC earns VPF revenues only for Systems that it owns. Phase 2 DC's agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs 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, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the four-year rollout period and thereafter. Furthermore, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to Phase 2 DC. 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, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment. Customers Digital Cinema customers are mainly motion picture studios and theatrical exhibitors. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, six customers, 20th Century Fox, Disney Worldwide Services, Lionsgate, Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation, Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers, each represented approximately 10% or more of Phase 1 DC's revenues and together generated 71%, 71% and 35% of Phase 1 DC's, Phase 2 DC's and consolidated revenues, respectively. No Phase 1 DC or Phase 2 DC customers comprised more than 10% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable. We expect to continue to conduct business with each of these customers during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. Seasonality Deployment revenues 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. 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 The Digital Cinema Services (“Services”) division 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. This segment services the Company's 3,724 screens in the Phase 1 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 segment also provides services to the 8,904 Phase 2 Systems deployed as of March 31, 2014. Services typically receives a monthly service fee that approximates up to 10% of the VPFs earned by Phase 2 DC. The total Phase 2 service fees are subject to an annual limitation under the terms of the Company's Phase 2 agreements with the motion picture studios, and additionally, are determined based upon the respective Exhibitor-Buyer Structure, KBC or CDF2 agreements. Any unpaid services fees in any period remain an obligation to Phase 2 DC in the cost recoupment framework. These fees are not recognized as income or accrued as an asset on the Company's 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 2 Systems. As a result, the annual service fee limitation is variable until these fees are paid. In February 2013, we assigned to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cinedigm DC Holdings LLC (“DC Holdings LLC”), the (i) 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 LLC the right to receive servicing fees from the Phase I and Phase II Deployments. We also transfered to DC Holdings certain of our operational staff whose responsibilities and activities relate solely to the conduct of such servicing business and to provide DC Holdings LLC with the right to use the supporting software and other intellectual property associated with the operation of the servicing business. DC Holdings entered into a term loan agreement (the “Prospect Loan”) with Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect”) which restricts DC Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (including CDF I) from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions): • making investments; • making capital expenditures beyond certain limits; • incurring other indebtedness or liens; 3 • • • • • engaging in a new line of business; entering into or amending certain agreements and contracts; selling or disposing of assets; acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies; and entering into transactions with affiliates. Finally, Services has international servicing partnerships in Australia and New Zealand with the Independent Cinema Association of Australia to service up to 875 screens and is currently servicing 496 screens as of March 31, 2014. Services is exploring other similar international servicing partnerships in additional geographic locations. Customers For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 no customer comprised more than 10% of Services' revenues or accounts receivable. Competition Services faces limited competition domestically in its digital cinema services business as the major Hollywood movie studios have only signed digital cinema deployment agreements (“DCDAs”) with five entities, including the Company, and the deployment period in North America is now complete. The other entities with all such agreements include: Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (“DCIP”), a joint venture of three large exhibitors (Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal"), AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("AMC") and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark") focused on managing the conversions of those three exhibitors; Sony Digital Cinema to support the deployment of Sony projection equipment; Christie to support the deployment of Christie equipment; and GDC, Inc ("GDC") to support the deployment of GDC equipment. The Company has a significantly greater market share than all other competitors beyond the DCIP consortium which services a total of approximately 16,000 total screens representing its consortium members. As the Company expands its servicing platform internationally, an additional competitor beyond those listed above consists of Arts Alliance, Inc. ("Arts Alliance"), a leading digital cinema servicer focused on the European markets, GDC, as well as other potential local start-ups seeking to service a specific international market. The Company often seeks 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. CONTENT & ENTERTAINMENT CEG is a leader in the digital distribution revolution that is transforming the independent content landscape, and is uniquely positioned to benefit from all aspects of the revolution, from distribution in theatres to home, mobile and emerging platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, xBox, Playstation, and cable VOD, as well as DVD, and Blu-ray (including Ultraviolet). CEG has focused its activities on three main areas of business: (i) Aggregation and distribution of content libraries in the home entertainment market; (ii) theatrical and subsequent home entertainment releasing of newly acquired independent movies; and (iii) the creation and launching of branded, curated OTT digital entertainment channels and applications. With these three complementary entertainment distribution capabilities, Cinedigm is capitalizing on the key drivers of value we believe critical to success in content distribution going forward. On April 20, 2012, the Company acquired Cinedigm Entertainment Corp. f/k/a New Video Group, Inc. ("New Video"), an independent home entertainment distributor of quality packaged and digital content that provides distribution services in the DVD, Blu-ray, Digital and VOD channels for more than 500 independent rights holders, and was integrated into the Company's Content & Entertainment segment. On October 21, 2013, the Company and Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC ("CEG"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired from Gaiam Americas, Inc. and Gaiam, Inc. (together, “Gaiam”) their division ("GVE") that maintains exclusive distribution rights agreements with large independent studios/content providers, and distributes entertainment content through home video, digital and television distribution channels (the “GVE Acquisition”). The Company agreed to an aggregate purchase price of $51.5 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, with (i) $47.5 million paid in cash and 666,978 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $1.0 million issued upon the closing of the GVE Acquisition, and (ii) $3.0 million to be paid on a deferred basis, of which $1.0 million was paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and the remainder was settled through the collection of a receivable during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The working capital adjustment, if any, related to the purchase price has not yet been finalized between the Company and the sellers of GVE. Pending final resolution, such working capital adjustment will be recorded as adjustments to purchase considerations during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. Upon the closing of the GVE Acquisition, GVE became part of the Company's Content & Entertainment segment. 4 Theatrical releasing As of June 18, 2014, we have acquired 25 titles for theatrical release, ranging from drama to horror to documentaries. Our goal is to acquire 12 to 15 new movies per year. CEG acquires finished movies at film festivals and industry screenings with recent acquisitions including Night Movies with Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Stellan Skarsgard, Open Windows with Elijah Wood and Sasha Grey and Song One produced by and starring Anne Hathaway. CEG has also recently entered into guaranteed multi-year distribution partnerships with established producers who each agree to provide CEG with three to five new releases per annum. Examples of recent partnerships include: • Rapid Eye Films - CEG signed a multi-picture distribution and production output deal for North America encompassing 15 films. Rapid Eye Film will produce, co-produce or acquire three to four genre-centric films per year. while CEG will handle the theatrical and home entertainment release and distribution strategy for each picture, with Rapid Eye Film producing and managing the marketing; • Viva Pictures Distribution - CEG acquired ANTBOY, a highly acclaimed Danish film directed by Ask Hasselbalch, as the first of a multi-picture, multi-year deal; and • VMI Worldwide - CEG signed a multi-picture distribution and production output deal where VMI Worldwide will produce, co-produce or acquire four genre-centric films per year during the duration of the deal while CEG will handle the theatrical and home entertainment release and distribution strategies along with the marketing campaigns for each picture. Distribution and Aggregation As the leading distributor and aggregator of independent content, CEG maintains a significant library of distribution rights totaling in excess of 52,000 movies and television episodes across all media and grows this library annually through new rights acquisitions. We deliver nearly 10,000 digital properties to 20 platforms across seven territories for more than 900 licensors. CEG has a competitive advantage over many independent distributors as it maintains direct sales relationships with all major physical and digital retailers, including but not limited to Walmart, Target, Kmart, Sam’s Club and Costco for physical sales and iTunes, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Vudu, xBox, and Playstation for digital sales. This direct access provides CEG with the most competitive pricing and marketing support from retailers which enables it to deliver superior sell through and revenues to content owners. OTT Entertainment Channels/Applications CEG believes that the industry is at the very beginning of an explosion of new networks that will enable content suppliers to directly reach audiences on all connected devices via various mobile platforms, connected televisions and the Internet. Most connected platforms, such as Samsung, Microsoft xBox, Sony Playstation, AppleTV, Roku, as well as other mobile devices offer a limited number of curated applications targeted at avid audiences. CEG sees a significant opportunity for growth on these platforms given our extensive library of digital rights and strong interest from our digital partners. CEG is developing a number of proprietary niche advertising-VOD and premium subscription VOD channels over the next one to three years leveraging our existing libraries. CEG's first channel, Docurama, launched in May 2013 with a seven documentary slate release in select movie theaters, along with the launch of a premium YouTube subscription channel and our first OTT application. Docurama expanded and is now available on over 165 million devices. CEG announced its second channel, CONtv, in partnership with ComicCon (OTCBB: WW) to target the fanboy / fangirl / gamer community. Wizard World is the largest operator of Comic Cons in North America with 16 Wizard World Comic Con conventions scheduled during 2014, with a broader schedule of over 25 Comic Con's planned for 2015. The conventions bring communities together to celebrate their favorite films, TV shows, celebrities, video games, technology, toys, social networking/gaming platforms, comic books and graphic novels. CEG expects to launch CONtv in Fall 2014. CEG announced is third channel, Dove Television, in partnership with the Dove Foundation, the leading service to rate content for its family friendly appropriateness, to target the family and faith-based market places. CEG intends to launch three to four channels per year following the Wizard World model in which CEG creates joint ventures with established brands that can accelerate channel launches and reduce costs and risk by contributing their brand, existing consumer relationships, marketing support and/or original programming. Intellectual Property There is no intellectual property related to our Content & Entertainment segment. 5 Customers For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, two customers, Walmart and Amazon represented 10% or more of CEG's revenues and one of these customers represented approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. 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. The Company views the following as its principal competition in its content and entertainment segment: • Anchor Bay Entertainment; • Crunchyroll; • Entertainment One (eOne); Image Entertainment, Inc.; • • IFC Entertainment; • Lionsgate Entertainment; • Magnolia Pictures; • Roadside Attractions LLC; and • The Weinstein Company. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue and exit its software business, Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Software (“Software”), the Company's direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. Management concluded that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for the Company’s focus to be toward its CEG business unit. Further, management believed that Software, which was previously included in our Services segment, no longer yielded the same synergies across the Company’s businesses as once existed and with the expansion of our content distribution business, we often were in competition with Software customers. As a consequence, it was determined that Software met the criteria for classification as held for sale/discontinued operations. As such, Software has been adjusted to reflect fair value of its net assets and the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements presented herein have been recast solely to reflect, for all periods presented, the adjustments resulting from these changes in classification for discontinued operations. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further information. ENVIRONMENTAL The nature of our business does not subject us to environmental laws in any material manner. EMPLOYEES As of March 31, 2014, we had 179 employees, of which 11 are part-time and 168 are full-time. Of our full-time employees, 34 are in sales and marketing, 42 are in operations, 13 are in research and development, 28 are in technical services, and 51 are in executive, finance and administration. Excluding employees who are part of discontinued operations, we had 147 full-time employees as of March 31, 2014. AVAILABLE INFORMATION The Company's Internet website address is www.cinedigm.com.

RISK FACTORS An inability to obtain necessary financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects if unanticipated capital needs arise. Our capital requirements may vary significantly from what we currently project and be affected by unforeseen delays and expenses. We may experience problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly-situated companies, as well as difficulties as a result of changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions. If we encounter any of these problems or difficulties or have underestimated our operating losses or capital requirements, we may require significantly more financing than we currently anticipate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any required additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. An inability to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects. Our credit agreement (the "Cinedigm Credit Agreement") with Société Générale ("SG") and certain other lenders contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict the Company and certain of its subsidiaries from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness or liens, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. The Cinedigm Credit Agreement is with full recourse to the Company and to certain of its subsidiaries that guaranteed the Company's obligations, including Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC, Hollywood Software, Inc. and Vistarchiara Productions, Inc. Our Phase I credit agreement (the "Phase I Credit Agreement") with SG and certain other lenders contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict our indirect subsidiary, Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC ("CDF I") and its subsidiaries from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness or liens, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. The Phase I Credit Agreement is non-recourse to the Company and our other subsidiaries. In February 2013, Cinedigm DC Holdings LLC ("DC Holdings LLC"), our wholly-owned subsidiary to which we transferred our business of servicing digital cinema projection systems, entered into a term loan agreement (the "Prospect Loan") with Prospect Capital Corporation ("Prospect") which restricts DC Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (including CDF I) from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness or liens, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. The Prospect Loan is non-recourse to the Company and our other subsidiaries, except for Access DM (which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DC Holdings LLC) and Access Digital Cinema Phase 2, Corp. ("ADCP2"), each of which guaranteed the obligations of DC Holdings LLC to Prospect. In addition, the Company provided a limited recourse guaranty pursuant to which the Company 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. Our indirect subsidiary, Phase 2 B/AIX has entered into several credit agreements (the "KBC Agreements") with KBC pursuant to which KBC has financed the acquisition of digital cinema projection systems purchased from Barco, Inc. to be installed at various theatre locations. The KBC Agreements are non-recourse to the Company and its subsidiaries other than Phase 2 B/AIX and are consolidated by the Company similarly to CDF I. The KBC Agreements restrict Phase 2 B/AIX from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) incurring liens, disposing of certain assets outside the ordinary course of business, merging or consolidating with other entities, changing its line of business and making payments (including dividends) to affiliates. In October, 2011, we began earning fees under a management services agreement with CDF2 Holdings, an indirect wholly-owned, non- consolidated variable interest entity that is intended to be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity, and CDF 2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDF2 Holdings. The revenues under this management service agreement were assigned to DC Holdings LLC as of February 28, 2013. CDF2 financed certain digital systems under its credit agreement with SG and certain other lenders (the "Phase II Credit Agreement"). The Phase II Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict CDF2 Holdings, CDF 2 and their subsidiaries from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness or liens, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. The Phase II Credit Agreement is non-recourse to the Company and our other subsidiaries. The digital cinema projection systems that CDF 2 partially finances by borrowing under the Phase II Credit Agreement are acquired directly from the manufacturers and are sold to and leased back by CDF 2 Holdings from 7 CHG-Meridian U.S. Finance, Ltd. ("CHG") pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement and related documents (the "CHG Lease"). The CHG Lease contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict CDF2 Holdings from, among other things, (with certain specified exceptions) incurring liens on the leased digital cinema systems and from subleasing, assigning, modifying or altering such systems. The CHG Lease is non-recourse to the Company and our other subsidiaries. CDF 2 Holdings is not consolidated by the Company, as the Company does not exercise control over CDF 2 Holdings. CDF2 Holdings is managed and controlled exclusively by the three managers, including, a third party, which also has a variable interest in CDF2 Holdings, along with an independent third party manager, that must approve, among other things, the annual operating budget and capital budget, engaging in new business or activities and certain transactions that significantly impact CDF 2 Holdings' economic performance. The Company's risk is limited to our initial investment and revenues that could be earned under the management services agreement (which revenues have, as mentioned above, been assigned to DC Holdings LLC). 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; 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 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 involves 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 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 8 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. 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 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; 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 non-recourse debt and our recourse 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 October 2013, we entered into the Cinedigm Credit Agreement pursuant to which we borrowed Term Loans in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million and may borrow revolving loans and have letters of credit issued in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $30.0 million. The obligations under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement are with full recourse to the Company and to certain of its subsidiaries that guaranteed the Company's obligations, including Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC, Hollywood Software, Inc. and Vistarchiara Productions, Inc. As of March 31, 2014, principal amounts outstanding under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement were $39.6 million. Additionally, in October 2013 the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors party thereto (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “2013 Notes”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “2013 Warrants”). The sales were consummated on October 21, 2013. The proceeds of the sales of the 2013 Notes and 2013 Warrants were used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to finance, in part, the GVE Acquisition. As of March 31, 2014, total non-recourse loan principal amounts due was $198.6 million, and is not guaranteed by the Company or our subsidiaries, other than CDF I with respect to the Phase I Credit Agreement, DC Holdings LLC, AccessDM and ADCP2 with respect to the Prospect Loan, Phase 2 B/AIX with respect to the KBC Agreements. In connection with the Prospect Loan, the Company provided a limited recourse guaranty pursuant to which the Company 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. 9 We also had capital lease obligations covering a facility and computer equipment with an aggregate principal amount of $6.1 million as of March 31, 2014. In May 2011, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the Pavilion Theatre and from that point forward, it has not been operated by the Company. The Company has remained the primary obligor on the Pavilion capital lease and therefore, the capital lease obligation and the related assets under the capital lease continue to remain with the Company as of March 31, 2014. The Company has, however, entered into a sub-lease agreement with the unrelated third party purchaser who makes all payments related to the lease and as such, the Company has no continuing involvement in the operation of the Pavilion Theatre. 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 Holding LLC. Phase 2 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, 2014, the outstanding principal balance under the KBC Agreements was $35.0 million in the aggregate. The obligations and restrictions under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement, the Phase I Credit Agreement, 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. CDF 2 and CDF2 Holdings are our indirect wholly-owned, non-consolidated VIEs that are intended to be special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities. CDF 2 has entered into the Phase II Credit Agreement, pursuant to which it borrowed $63.2 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding balance under the Phase II Credit Agreement, which includes interest payable, was $50.4 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. These facilities are non-recourse to the Company and our subsidiaries, excluding the Company's VIE, CDF 2 and CDF2 Holdings, as the case may be. Although the Phase II financing arrangements undertaken by CDF 2 and CDF 2 Holdings are important to the Company with respect to the success of its Phase II Deployment, the Company's financial exposure related to the debt of CDF 2 and CDF2 Holdings is limited to the $2.0 million initial investment it made into CDF 2 and CDF2 Holdings. CDF2 Holding’s total stockholder’s deficit at March 31, 2014 was $2.7 million. The Company has no obligation to fund the operating loss or the deficit beyond its initial investment, and accordingly, the Company carried its investment in Holdings at $0. The obligations and restrictions under the Phase II Credit Agreement and the CHG Lease could have important consequences for CDF 2 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 non-recourse 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. 10 The agreements governing the financing of our Phase I Deployment and part of our Phase II Deployment, the Cinedigm Credit Agreement and the Prospect Loan impose certain limitations on us. The Cinedigm Credit Agreement restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries that have guaranteed the obligations under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things: make certain capital expenditures and investments; incur other indebtedness or liens; create or acquire subsidiaries which do not guarantee the obligations or foreign subsidiaries; engage in a new line of business; pay dividends; sell assets; amend certain agreements; acquire, consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies; and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Phase I Credit Agreement governing the financing of our Phase I Deployment restricts the ability of CDF I and its existing and future subsidiaries 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. One or more of the KBC Agreements governing part of the financing of our Phase II Deployment restrict the ability of Phase 2 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, 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 agreements governing the financing of other parts of our Phase II Deployment impose certain limitations which may affect our Phase 2 deployment. The Phase II Credit Agreement governing part of the financing of part of our Phase II Deployment that has not been financed by the KBC Agreements restricts the ability of CDF 2, CDF2 Holdings and their existing and future subsidiaries to, among other things: 11 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 part of our Phase II Deployment 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, 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 June 30, 2015. 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 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, 2014, we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $5.0 million, and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $57.0 million; we had an accumulated deficit of $268.7 million; however, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we generated $39.6 million of net cash 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, 2014, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, those known by the Company 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 42.1% of our outstanding Class A common stock. In particular, Chris McGurk, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, owns 199,615 shares of Class A common stock and has stock options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. 4,500,000 of such options are vested and 1,500,000 of such options vest in thirds in March of each of 2015, 2016 and 2017. 12 If all the options were exercised, Mr. McGurk would own 6,199,615 shares or approximately 7.5% of the then-outstanding Class A common stock. In addition, an affiliate of Sageview Capital L.P. ("Sageview") owns 216,109 shares of Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 16,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. If such warrants are exercised, Sageview would own 16,216,109 shares or approximately 17.5% of the then-outstanding Class A common stock. Laura Nisonger Sims, a member of our board of directors, is a principal of Sageview. These stockholders will 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. Also, certain corporate actions directed by our officers may not necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of other stockholders of our company. 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 have entered into employment agreements with four of our top executive officers, one of which will terminate within the next 12 months unless renewed. 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 the market price of the Class A common stock declines, we may not be able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Global Market which may impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly. The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of such companies. These broad market movements may adversely affect the market price of the Class A common stock. The Class A common stock is presently listed on Nasdaq. Although we are not currently in jeopardy of delisting, we cannot assure you that we will meet the criteria for continued listing and the Class A common stock could become delisted. Any such delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the loss of confidence in our financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. If the Class A common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, we may face a lengthy process to re-list the Class A common stock, if we are able to re-list the Class A common stock at all, and the liquidity that Nasdaq provides will no longer be available to investors. While we believe we currently have effective internal control over financial reporting, we are required to assess our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis and any future adverse results from such assessment could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the accompanying rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC to implement it required us to include in our Form 10-K annual reports by our management regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The report included, among other things, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. The assessment did not result in the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. During this process, if our management identified one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that cannot be remediated in a timely manner, we would not be unable to assert such internal control as effective. While we currently believe our internal control over financial reporting is effective, the effectiveness of our internal controls in future periods is subject to the risk that our controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and, as a result, the degree of compliance of our internal control over financial reporting with the applicable policies or procedures may deteriorate. If, in the future, we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective (or if our independent auditors disagree with our conclusion), we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price. If we do not respond to future advances in technology and changes in 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 13 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 are 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. Should a decline in consumer demand be greater than the Company anticipates, 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 71%, 71%, and 35% of Phase 1 DC's, Phase 2 DC's and our consolidated revenues, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. 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 the Company's 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 14 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. The acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation, which are intended to help preserve our net operating losses, may not be effective or may have unintended negative effects. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, substantial operating losses, and under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382"), and rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, we may "carry forward" these net operating losses ("NOLs") in certain circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce our federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. To the extent that the NOLs do not otherwise become limited, we believe that we will be able to carry forward a significant amount of the NOLs, and therefore these NOLs could be a substantial asset to us. If, however, we experience a Section 382 ownership change, our ability to use the NOLs will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset. 15 To reduce the likelihood of an ownership change, we have established acquisition restrictions in our certificate of incorporation. The acquisition restrictions in our certificate of incorporation are intended to restrict certain acquisitions of the Class A common stock to help preserve our ability to utilize our NOLs by avoiding the limitations imposed by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations. The acquisition restrictions are generally designed to restrict or deter direct and indirect acquisitions of the Class A common stock if such acquisition would result in a shareholder becoming a "5-percent shareholder" (as defined by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations) or increase the percentage ownership of Company stock that is treated as owned by an existing 5-percent shareholder. Although the acquisition restrictions are intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change that could adversely affect us, we can give no assurance that such restrictions would prevent all transfers that could result in such an ownership change. In particular, we have been advised by our counsel that, absent a court determination, there can be no assurance that the acquisition restrictions will be enforceable against all of our shareholders, and that they may be subject to challenge on equitable grounds. In particular, it is possible that the acquisition restrictions may not be enforceable against the shareholders who voted against or abstained from voting on the restrictions at our 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. Under certain circumstances, our Board may determine it is in the best interest of the Company to exempt certain 5-percent shareholders from the operation of the acquisition restrictions, if a proposed transaction is determined not to be detrimental to the Company's utilization of its NOLs. The acquisition restrictions also require any person attempting to become a holder of 5% or more of the Class A common stock, as determined under Section 382, to seek the approval of our Board. This may have an unintended "anti-takeover" effect because our Board may be able to prevent any future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of stock that a stockholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to replace current management. Additionally, because the acquisition restrictions have the effect of restricting a stockholder's ability to dispose of or acquire the Class A common stock, the liquidity and market value of the Class A common stock might suffer. The acquisition restrictions may be waived by our Board. Stockholders are advised to monitor carefully their ownership of the Class A common stock and consult their own legal advisors and/or Company to determine whether their ownership of the Class A common stock approaches the proscribed level. The occurrence of various events may adversely affect the ability of the Company to fully utilize NOLs. The Company has a substantial amount of NOLs for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are available both currently and in the future to offset taxable income and gains. Events outside of our control may cause us to experience a Section 382 ownership change, and limit our ability to fully utilize such NOLs. In general, an ownership change occurs when, as of any testing date, the percentage of stock of a corporation owned by one or more "5-percent shareholders," as defined in the Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations, has increased by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock of the corporation owned by such shareholders at any time during the three- year period preceding such date. In general, persons who own 5% or more of a corporation's stock are 5-percent shareholders, and all other persons who own less than 5% of a corporation's stock are treated, together, as a single, public group 5-percent shareholder, regardless of whether they own an aggregate of 5% or more of a corporation's stock. If a corporation experiences an ownership change, it is generally subject to an annual limitation, which limits its ability to use its NOLs to an amount equal to the equity value of the corporation multiplied by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate. If we were to experience an ownership change, we could potentially have, in the future, higher U.S. federal income tax liabilities than we would otherwise have had and it may also result in certain other adverse consequences to us. Therefore, we have adopted the acquisition restrictions set forth in Article Fourth of our certificate of incorporation in order to reduce the likelihood that we will experience an ownership change under Section 382. There can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will deter or prevent the occurrence of an ownership change and the adverse consequences that may arise therefrom, as described above under the risk factor titled "The acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation, which are intended to help preserve our net operating losses, may not be effective or may have unintended negative effects." 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 16 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. Economic conditions could materially adversely affect the Company. The Company's 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 the Company's 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 the Company's products and services and on the Company's financial condition and operating results. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions could also continue to increase the volatility of the Company's 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. 17 ITEM 2.

OVERVIEW Cinedigm Corp. (formerly known as Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp.) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). Cinedigm is (i) a leading distributor of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to over 52,000 titles and episodes released across theatrical, digital, physical, home and mobile entertainment platforms as well as (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets on over 12,000 movies screens in both North America and several international countries. Over the past decade, the Company has played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to its pioneering role in transitioning over 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, the Company, through both organic growth and acquisitions, has become a leading distributor of independent content. The Company distributes products for major brands such as the NFL, 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. Cinedigm collaborates with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted and profitable audiences through (i) theatrical releases, (ii) 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 (iii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray. The Company reports its financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) Phase I Deployment, (2) Phase II Deployment, (3) Services and (4) Content & Entertainment. The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's Systems installed in North American movie theatres. The Services segment provides services, software and support to the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers. Included in these services are asset management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment as well as third party exhibitors as buyers of their own digital cinema equipment; and software license, maintenance and consulting services to Phase I and Phase II Deployment, various other exhibitors, studios and other content organizations. These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the distribution and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide. The Content & 22 Entertainment segment is a market leader in three key area of entertainment content distribution - ancillary market aggregation and distribution, theatrical releasing and branded and curated OTT digital entertainment channels and applications. The following organizational chart provides a graphic representation of our business and our four reporting segments: We have incurred consolidated net losses, including the results of our non-recourse deployment subsidiaries, of $25.9 million and $21.1 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $268.7 million as of March 31, 2014. Included in our consolidated net losses were net restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses of $1.5 million and $0.9 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also have significant contractual obligations related to our non-recourse and recourse debt for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and beyond. We may continue generating consolidated net losses for the foreseeable future. Based on our cash position at March 31, 2014, and expected cash flows from operations, we believe that we have the ability to meet our obligations through at least June 30, 2015. 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. 23 Critical Accounting Policies The following is a discussion of our critical accounting policies. 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 Digital cinema projection systems Machinery and equipment Furniture and fixtures 3-5 years 10 years 3-10 years 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, 2014 and 2013, the Company has neither made any revisions to estimated useful lives, nor recorded any impairment charges from continuing operations on its property and equipment. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced its capital lease obligation resulting from an amended sub-lease agreement in January 2013, through which an unrelated third party purchaser pays the capital lease and the Company is the primary obligor. 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. The Company’s process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of fair value of its goodwill reporting unit, CEG. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, measured as of March 31, unless triggering events occur which require goodwill to be tested at another date. As discussed in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in Item 8, goodwill increased during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 as a result of the Gaiam Acquisition. 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 the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether the Company’s remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance when testing goodwill for impairment which permits the Company to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill is impaired, or opt to bypass the qualitative assessment, and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test. If the Company performs a qualitative assessment and concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is then required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The Company has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. For reporting units where we decide to perform a qualitative assessment, Company management assesses and makes 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. Management then 24 considers 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 the Company operates 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 management. 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. The market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk profile relative to the comparable companies as a group. The most significant assumptions are the market multiplies and the control premium. The Company has elected not to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of impairment testing. During the annual testing of goodwill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, management performed the quantitative assessment for its CEG reporting unit, the only reporting unit with goodwill. In determining fair value using 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 estimate 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 annual impairment test should not be construed as earnings guidance or long-term projections and are typically more conservative projections. The assumptions include growth rates in adjusted EBITDA that are derived from the Company's budget and projections for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 of approximately $8.4 million with growth rates of 66% and 13% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and a flat growth rate for goodwill testing purposes of approximately 5% for CEG for the fiscal years thereafter through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. Further, we assumed a market-based weighted average cost of capital of 13% for CEG to discount cash flows and a blended federal and state tax rate of 40%. The fair value of the CEG reporting unit as calculated for goodwill testing purposes exceeded its carrying value, inclusive of goodwill of $25.5 million, by over 43%. Thus, a potential future decrease in the fair value of this reporting unit would have a carrying value in excess of the fair value. As such, no further analysis of the CEG reporting unit was required and no goodwill impairment was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. There is, however, a significant risk of future impairment if management's expectations of future cash flows are not achieved. DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consisted of customer relationships, supplier agreements, content libraries, theatre relationships, covenants not to compete, a favorable operating lease, trade names and trademarks. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment charge for finite-lived intangible assets was recorded within continuing operations. REVENUE RECOGNITION Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment 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 the Company’s 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 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged 25 through the tenth year. 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 the Company’s 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, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to the Company. 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, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment. 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 are deferred for up front exhibitor contributions and are recognized over the cost recoupment period, which is expected to be ten years. Services Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment, paid an upfront activation fee that is generally $2 thousand per screen to the Company (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). These upfront activation fees are recognized in the period in which these exhibitor owned Systems are ready for content, as the Company has no further obligations to the customer, and are generally paid quarterly from VPF revenues over approximately one year. Additionally, the Company recognizes activation fee revenue of between $1 thousand and $2 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by Holdings upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. The Company will then manage the billing and collection of VPFs and will remit all VPFs collected to the exhibitors, less an administrative fee that will approximate up to 10% of the VPFs collected. The administrative fee related to the Phase I Deployment approximates 5% of the VPFs collected and 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, video-on-demand, and physical goods (e.g. DVD and Blu-ray). The fee rate earned by the Company varies depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers. Generally, revenues are recognized at the availability date of the content for a subscription digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and video-on-demand services. 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 is 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 the Company’s revenue recognition policies described above. In connection with revenue recognition for CEG, the following are also considered critical accounting policies: 26 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 the Company provides content distribution services and such advances are estimated to be fully recoupable as of the consolidated balance sheet date. Participations payable The Company records liabilities within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet, that represent amounts owed to studios or content producers for which the Company provides content distribution services for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. The Company identifies and records as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to the Company by such studios or content producers. Movie Cost Amortization Once a movie is released, capitalized acquisition costs are amortized and participations and residual costs are accrued on an individual title basis in the proportion to the revenue recognized during the period for each title ("Period Revenue") bears to the estimated remaining total revenue to be recognized from all sources for each title ("Ultimate Revenue"). The amount of movie and other costs that is amortized each period will depend on the ratio of Period Revenue to Ultimate Revenue for each movie. The Company makes certain estimates and judgments of Ultimate Revenue to be recognized for each title. Ultimate Revenue does not include estimates of revenue that will be earned beyond 5 years of a movie’s initial theatrical release date. Movie cost amortization is a component of direct operating costs within the consolidated statements of operations. Estimates of Ultimate Revenue and anticipated participation and residual costs are reviewed periodically in the ordinary course of business and are revised if necessary. A change in any given period to the Ultimate Revenue for an individual title will result in an increase or decrease in the percentage of amortization of capitalized movie and other costs and accrued participation and residual costs relative to a previous period. Depending on the performance of a title, significant changes to the future Ultimate Revenue may occur, which could result in significant changes to the amortization of the capitalized acquisition costs. 27 Results of Continuing Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 Revenues ($ in thousands) Phase I Deployment Phase II Deployment Services Content & Entertainment For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 36,309 12,146 12,558 43,315 104,328 $ $ 2013 39,646 12,464 12,932 16,050 81,092 $ $ $ Change % Change (8)% $ (3)% (3)% 170 % 29 % (3,337) (318) (374) 27,265 23,236 $ Revenues increased $23.2 million or 29% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 resulting from the organic growth in revenues in Content & Entertainment as well as the GVE Acquisition, partially offset by decreases in Deployment and Services revenues. Phase 1 and Phase 2 Deployment revenues declined by $3.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 as VPFs were reduced due to (i) a reduced releasing calendar in the current fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year period as 118 wide titles were released as compared to 135 wide titles in the previous fiscal year; and (ii) constrained booking patterns on many tent-pole and wide studio releases as a crowded release calendar at the peak summer and holiday seasons limited screen space; and (iii) several underperforming blockbuster releases receiving smaller releases than historically common. In the Services segment, a $0.4 million, or 3%, decrease in revenues was primarily due to (i) the expected reduction in service revenues as the termination of the North American deployment program resulted in $1.3 million of activation fee revenue recognized during the current fiscal year as compared to $3.5 million of activation fees in the prior fiscal year; (ii) reduced VPFs of $4.0 million translating into an approximately $0.4 million reduction in service fees; and (iii) delays in remaining deployments by several international exhibitors to the next fiscal year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in service fees of $1.2 million due to our international deployment. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, 925 Phase 2 DC Exhibitor-Buyer Structure Systems were installed and a total of 8,904 installed Phase 2 Systems were generating service fees at March 31, 2014 as compared to 7,980 Phase 2 Systems at March 31, 2013. The Company also services an additional 3,724 screens in its Phase I deployment subsidiary. We expect modest growth in Services as we (i) continue with international servicing and software installations in Australia, New Zealand and Europe during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 from our 88 international screen backlog; and (ii) secure additional international servicing customers. The CEG business expanded by $27.3 million, or 170%, year over year, of which $21.3 million is directly attributed to revenues of GVE earned from October 21, 2013 through the end of our fiscal year. Organic growth was driven by expansion in distribution fees earned from (i) recent acquisitions of physical and digital distribution rights of home entertainment titles; (ii) expanded fee revenue and monetization of our library of over 52,000 movies and television episodes; and (iii) revenues from theatrical releases that have reached the home entertainment window. Direct Operating Expenses ($ in thousands) Phase I Deployment Phase II Deployment Services Content & Entertainment For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 2013 $ $ 766 610 380 27,164 28,920 $ $ 459 687 821 6,548 8,515 $ Change % Change 67 % $ (11)% (54)% 315 % 240 % 307 (77) (441) 20,616 20,405 $ Direct operating expenses increased by 240% as a result of (i) $10.2 million attributed to the GVE Acquisition during the fiscal year; (ii) increased direct expenses for the expanded CEG home entertainment releasing slate as certain selling, general and administrative expenses were shifted to direct costs due to our outsourced DVD replication and manufacturing partnership with Universal Pictures; and (iii) significant growth in upfront theatrical releasing, marketing and acquisitions costs as CEG released fourteen movies during the current fiscal year versus a single small release in the prior fiscal year. CEG released fourteen theatrical movies during the current fiscal year which totaled over $8.4 million of upfront releasing costs. In accordance with GAAP, Cinedigm must recognize its upfront content acquisition and marketing expenses at the time of a theatrical release of a movie. This timing difference creates a “J-Curve” and will continue in future periods as we increase our 28 distribution activities. We will also experience an increase in direct operating expenses corresponding with additional revenue growth. The decrease in the Services segment was primarily related to expense reductions in digital cinema services as the domestic installation period ended. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ($ in thousands) Phase I Deployment Phase II Deployment Services Content & Entertainment Corporate For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 2013 $ $ 328 279 765 14,448 10,513 26,333 $ $ 92 139 797 8,308 11,469 20,805 $ Change % Change 257 % $ 101 % (4)% 74 % (8)% 27 % 236 140 (32) 6,140 (956) 5,528 $ Selling, general and administrative expenses grew by 27% during the period as strong expense controls and synergies from the GVE Acquisition were relative to the 29% increase in revenues. The Content & Entertainment segment increased 74% as a result of the GVE Acquisition, which added $5.2 million of expense, and the expansion of our theatrical releasing and marketing teams which we added in the summer and fall of 2012 as well as increased staffing to support the rapid growth in our home entertainment acquisition and distribution volume. The decrease within Corporate reflects ongoing prudent expense management and synergies from the GVE Acquisition Restructuring, Transition and Acquisitions Expenses, Net Restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net were $1.5 million and $0.9 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and include the following: • During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company completed a strategic assessment of its resource requirements within its Content & Entertainment reporting segment which, based upon the GVE Acquisition, resulted in a restructuring expense of $1.5 million as a result of workforce reduction and severance and employee-related expenses. Transition expenses of $0.5 million are principally attributed to the integration of GVE. Restructuring expenses were approximately $0.3 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013; • Merger and acquisition expenses included in corporate of $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of professional fees and internal expenses directly related to the GVE Acquisition of $2.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Merger and acquisition expenses included in corporate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 of $1.3 million include professional fees incurred which pertained to the purchase of New Video which was consummated in April 2012; and • A reduction of a contingent liability of $3.4 million and $0.8 million related to the acquisition of New Video for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization Expense on Property and Equipment For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, ($ in thousands) Phase I Deployment Phase II Deployment Services Content & Entertainment Corporate 2014 2013 $ $ 28,549 7,523 214 210 793 37,289 $ $ 28,549 7,371 9 72 358 36,359 $ Change % Change —% $ 2% 2,278% 192% 122% 3% — 152 205 138 435 930 $ Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million or 3%. The increase in the Phase II Deployment segment represents depreciation on the increased number of Phase 2 DC Systems which were not in service during the fiscal year ended March 31, 29 2013. We expect the depreciation and amortization expense in the Phase II Deployment segment to remain at similar levels as the Phase 2 deployment period has ended and we do not expect to add international Systems that require inclusion on our balance sheet. Amortization of intangible assets Amortization of intangible assets increased to $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 from $1.5 million, which is attributed to the finite-lives intangible assets added from the GVE Acquisition. Interest expense ($ in thousands) Phase I Deployment Phase II Deployment Corporate For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 2013 $ $ 15,051 1,976 2,728 19,755 $ $ 9,016 2,351 16,947 28,314 $ Change % Change 67 % $ (16)% (84)% (30)% 6,035 (375) (14,219) (8,559) $ Interest expense decreased $8.6 million or 30% due to the interest savings driven by the February 2013 refinancing and the continued repayment of non-recourse and recourse term loan debt as the Company reduced principal outstanding by $42.0 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The 67% increase in interest paid and accrued within the non-recourse Phase I Deployment segment is the result of the shifting of the Company's corporate debt to non-recourse as part of the February 2013 refinancing. The non-recourse Phase I deployment debt was refinanced, expanded and combined with the proceeds of the non- recourse 2013 Prospect Loan to repay the recourse 2010 Note in the Company's Corporate segment. The 2013 Term Loans are at a rate of LIBOR, plus 275 basis points with a 1.0% LIBOR floor, versus the prior credit agreement rate of LIBOR, plus 350 basis points with a 1.75% LIBOR floor. Interest decreased within the Phase II Deployment segment related to the KBC Facilities due to the reduction of outstanding principal. Phase 2 DC’s non-recourse interest expense is expected to continue to decrease as it did during the fiscal year as we continue to repay the KBC Facilities from free cash flow and the benefit from the resulting reduced debt balance. The decrease in interest paid and accrued within Corporate is related to the recourse note, which was paid off in February 2013. The 2013 Prospect Loan carries an interest rate of 13.5%, including a cash rate of LIBOR, plus 9.0% with a 2.0% LIBOR floor, and a PIK rate of 2.5%. Interest on the prior recourse note was 8% PIK Interest and 7% per annum paid in cash. Corporate interest expense during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 includes recourse debt from the Cinedigm Term Loans and Cinedigm Revolving Loans and the 2013 Notes. Each of the Cinedigm Term Loans and the Cinedigm Revolving Loans bear interest at the base rate plus 3.0% or the eurodollar rate plus 4.0%. Base rate, per annum, is equal to the highest of (a) the rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the “base rate on corporate loans by at least 75% of the nation’s largest banks,” (b) 0.50% plus the federal funds rate, and (c) the eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. The 2013 Notes bear interest at 9.0%. Non-cash interest expense was approximately $0.6 million and $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Change in fair value of interest rate derivatives The change in fair value of the interest rate derivatives were gains of approximately $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The interest swap associated with the 2013 Term Loans matured in June 2013. Benefit from income taxes A net benefit from income taxes of $5.0 million was recorded primarily from the acquisition of New Video during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. A net deferred tax liability of $5.0 million was recorded upon the New Video Acquisition for the excess of the financial statement basis over the tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities. As New Video will be included in the Company's consolidated federal and state tax returns, deferred tax liabilities assumed in the New Video Acquisition are able to offset the reversal of the Company's pre-existing deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company's valuation allowance has been reduced by $5.0 million and recorded as a deferred tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Management 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. 30 Loss from discontinued operations Loss from discontinued operations, which principally represents the results of Software, was $11.9 million and $0.9 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, goodwill and intangible assets were impaired by approximately $8.5 million, due to the change in fair value of the Software business. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company for the periods presented to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring and transition expenses and certain other items. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA (including its Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC subsidiaries) of $55.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of 1% in comparison to $56.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The approximately $4.0 million reduction in VPFs and service fees during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, which are outside the Company’s influence and which all directly reduce Adjusted EBITDA offset the growth in CEG EBITDA deriving from the GVE Acquisition and organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment businesses was $9.5 million during the fiscal year ended ended March 31, 2014, increasing 59% from $5.9 million for the fiscal year ended ended March 31, 2014. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company uses 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, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including its stockholders, as a valuable financial metric. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net loss from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the Company's performance and comparing our performance with the performance of our competitors. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, as well as to evaluate the Company's performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-recurring or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that management believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and a reconciliation between net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or net loss from continuing operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Management does 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 the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. 31 Following is the reconciliation of the Company's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated GAAP net loss from continuing operations: ($ in thousands) For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 2013 Net loss from continuing operations before income taxes $ (13,960) $ (25,149) Add Back: Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment Amortization of intangible assets Interest expense Interest income Debt prepayment fees Loss on extinguishment of notes payable Loss (income) on investment in non-consolidated entity Other income, net Change in fair value of interest rate derivatives Stock-based compensation and expenses Non-recurring transaction expenses Allocated costs attributable to discontinued operations 37,289 3,473 19,755 (98) — — 1,812 (444) (679) 2,282 5,023 1,214 Adjusted EBITDA $ 55,667 $ Adjustments related to the Phase I and Phase II Deployments: Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment Amortization of intangible assets Income from operations Intersegment services fees earned Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment businesses $ $ (36,072) $ (52) (10,092) 16 9,467 $ 36,359 1,538 28,314 (48) 3,725 7,905 (322) (654) (1,231) 2,044 1,907 1,980 56,368 (35,920) (53) (14,483) 24 5,936 32 Recent Accounting Pronouncement In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. The update will be effective for the Company during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. The adoption of the update may impact whether future disposals qualify as discontinued operations and therefore could impact the Company's financial statement presentation and disclosures. 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. Our business is primarily driven by the growth in global demand for 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. Primary revenue drivers will 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, during 2013 there were approximately 43,000 domestic (United States and Canada) movie theatre screens and approximately 135,000 screens worldwide, of which approximately 40,000 of the domestic screens were equipped with digital cinema technology, and 12,628 of those screens contained our Systems. Historically, the number of digitally-equipped screens in the marketplace has been a significant determinant of our potential revenue streams. Going forward, the expansion of our content business into the ancillary distribution markets as well into the acquisition and distribution of new movie releases expands our market opportunities and will be the primary driver of our revenue streams as the rapidly evolving digital and entertainment landscape creates significant new growth potential for the Company. Beginning in May 2010, Phase 2 B/AIX, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into additional credit facilities, the KBC Facilities, to fund the purchase of Systems from Barco, to be installed in movie theatres as part of the Company’s Phase II Deployment. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of the KBC Facilities was $35.0 million. In February 2013, the Company refinanced its existing non-recourse senior 2010 Term Loan and recourse 2010 Note with a $125.0 million senior non-recourse credit facility led by Société Générale, New York Branch and a $70.0 million non-recourse credit facility provided by Prospect Capital Corporation. These two new non-recourse credit facilities will be supported by the cash flows of the Phase 1 deployment and the Company’s digital cinema servicing business. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of these non-recourse credit facilities was $163.0 million. In October 2013, the Company entered the Cinedigm Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Company borrowed term loans of $25.0 million and revolving loans of up to $30.0 million, of which all of the term loans and $15.0 million of the revolving loans were drawn upon in connection with the GVE Acquisition. The Cinedigm Credit Agreement, which further enhances the Company's working capital needs and ability to further invest in entertainment content, will be supported by the cash flows of the Company's media library, acquired in connection with the GVE Acquisition. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement providing $5.0 million of financing. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of these recourse credit facilities was $44.6 million. As of March 31, 2014, we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $5.0 million and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $57.0 million. Operating activities provided net cash of $39.6 million and $29.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash flows from VPFs are expected to remain consistent with the current fiscal year and support non-recourse debt paydown. Generally, changes in accounts receivable from our studio customers and others are a large component of operating cash flow and will vary based on the seasonality of movie release schedules by the major studios. The CEG business differs from our deployment business as we build receivables, the amount of cash flows and timing which will depend upon the success of the theatrical and home entertainment releases, through the end of this calendar year which the Company expects to collect upon during its fiscal fourth quarter and first quarter of the next fiscal year. The Company has put in place an up to $30.0 million revolver to support these working capital fluctuations. In addition, the Company makes advances towards theatrical releases and expects to recover the initial expenditures within six to twelve months and advances to certain home entertainment distribution clients which it expects to recover within the same period. CEG also generates additional operating cash flows during the Company's 33 fiscal third and fourth quarter resulting from holiday revenues and distributes royalties from such revenues in the subsequent one to two fiscal quarters. The changes in the Company's trade accounts payable is also a significant factor, but the Company does not anticipate major changes in payables activity. The Company also has non-cash expense fluctuations, primarily resulting from the change in the fair value of interest rate derivative arrangements. We expect operating activities to continue to be a positive source of cash. Investing activities used net cash of $52.0 million and $4.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is principally due to the GVE Acquisition which occurred in October 2013. Financing activities provided net cash of $49.2 million and used net cash of $29.5 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Proceeds from the issuance of the Cinedigm Credit Facility in October 2013 and issuances of Class A Common Stock during July 2013, October 2013 and March 2014 more than offset normal principal reduction of notes payables during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Financing activities are expected to continue using the net cash generated from the Phase 1 and Phase 2 DC operations as well as a portion of the cash generated from CEG, primarily for principal repayments on the 2013 Term Loans, 2013 Prospect Loan, the Cinedigm Credit Facility and other existing debt facilities. We have contractual obligations that include long-term debt consisting of notes payable, credit facilities, non-cancelable long- term capital lease obligations for the Pavilion Theatre, capital leases for information technology equipment and other various computer related equipment, non-cancelable operating leases consisting of real estate leases, and minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising. The capital lease obligation of the Pavilion Theatre is paid by an unrelated third party, although Cinedigm remains the primary lessee and would be obligated to pay if the unrelated third party were to default on its rental payment obligations. The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of March 31, 2014: Contractual Obligations ($ in thousands) Long-term recourse debt (1) Long-term non-recourse debt (2) Capital lease obligations (3) Debt-related obligations, principal Interest on recourse debt (1) Interest on non-recourse debt (2) Interest on capital leases (3) Total interest Total debt-related obligations Total non-recourse debt including interest Operating lease obligations (4) Total 2015 Payments Due 2016 & 2017 2018 & 2019 Thereafter $ 44,594 $ 19,219 $ 20,375 $ 5,000 $ 212,158 6,076 262,828 4,901 69,134 4,570 78,605 341,433 281,292 1,590 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 33,825 614 53,658 1,772 12,206 857 14,835 68,493 46,031 1,284 $ $ $ $ $ $ 61,992 1,351 83,718 2,427 21,255 1,531 25,213 108,931 83,247 306 $ $ $ $ $ $ 34,601 1,226 40,827 702 17,890 1,227 19,819 60,646 52,491 $ $ $ $ $ — $ — 81,740 2,885 84,625 — 17,783 955 18,738 103,363 99,523 — (1) Recourse debt includes the Cinedigm Credit Agreement and the 2013 Notes. (2) Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse with respect to defaults by the Company is limited to the value of the asset, which is collateral for the debt. The 2013 Term Loans are not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and CDF I, the 2013 Prospect Loan is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and DC Holdings LLC and the KBC Facilities are not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC. (3) Represents the capital lease and capital lease interest for the Pavilion Theatre and capital leases on information technology equipment. The Company has remained the primary obligor on the Pavilion capital lease, and therefore, the capital lease obligation and related assets under the capital lease remain on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014. The Company has, however, entered into a sub-lease agreement with the unrelated third party purchaser which pays the capital lease and as such, has no continuing involvement in the operation of the Pavilion Theatre. This capital lease was previously included in discontinued operations. (4) Includes the remaining operating lease agreement for one IDC lease now operated and paid for by FiberMedia, consisting of unrelated third parties. FiberMedia currently pays the lease directly to the landlord and the Company will attempt to obtain landlord consent to assign the facility lease to FiberMedia. Until such landlord consent is obtained, the Company will remain as the lessee. 34 We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on the 2013 Term Loans, 2013 Prospect Loan and Cinedigm Credit Agreement, 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 2013 Term Loans and 2013 Prospect Loan 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 2013 Prospect Loan requires certain screen turn performance from Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC. 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 Software and CEG businesses. We may seek to raise additional capital for strategic acquisitions or working 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. 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 Holdings. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company holds a 100% equity interest in Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, the Company is 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. 35 ITEM 8.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinedigm Corp. and subsidiaries (formerly known as Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp., the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2014. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cinedigm Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ EisnerAmper LLP New York, New York June 25, 2014 F-1 CINEDIGM CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 ($ in thousands, except for share and per share data) 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Cinedigm Corp. (formerly known as Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp.) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). Cinedigm is (i) a leading distributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to over 52,000 titles and episodes released across theatrical, digital, physical, home and mobile entertainment platforms as well as (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets in over 12,000 movies screens in both North America and several international countries. The Company reports its 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 (“Content & Entertainment”). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide. The Services segment provides services and support to approximately 12,000 movie screens in the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers. Included in these services are Systems management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment as well as third party exhibitors as buyers of their own digital cinema equipment. These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the distribution and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide. The Content & Entertainment segment provides content marketing and distribution services in both theatrical and ancillary home entertainment markets to independent movie, television and other short form content owners and to theatrical exhibitors. As a leading distributor of independent content, the Company collaborates with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted and profitable audiences through (i) theatrical releases, (ii) 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 (iii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray. Gaiam Acquisition On October 21, 2013, the Company and Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC ("CHE"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired from Gaiam Americas, Inc. and Gaiam, Inc. (together, “Gaiam”) their division ("GVE") that maintains exclusive distribution rights agreements with large independent studios/content providers, and distributes entertainment content through home video, digital and television distribution channels (the “GVE Acquisition”). The Company agreed to an aggregate purchase price of $51,500, subject to a working capital adjustment, with (i) $47,500 paid in cash and 666,978 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $1,000 issued upon the closing of the GVE Acquisition, and (ii) $3,000 to be paid on a deferred basis, of which $1,000 was paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and the remainder was settled through the collection of a receivable during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The working capital adjustment related to the purchase price has not yet been finalized between the Company and the sellers of GVE. Pending final resolution, such working capital adjustment, if any, will be recorded as adjustments to purchase considerations during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. Upon the closing of the GVE Acquisition, GVE became part of the Company's Content & Entertainment segment. Included within restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net on the consolidated statements of operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 are $2,500 of professional fees and $485 of internal expenses directly related to the GVE Acquisition. The results of operations of GVE have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date of October 21, 2013 and have been fully integrated with the financial results and operations of the Company's Content & Entertainment segment. The total amount of revenues and net income of GVE since the acquisition date that have been included in the consolidated statements of operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $21,325 and $4,324, respectively. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired as of the date of acquisition as follows pending any final working capital adjustment: F-9 Accounts receivable Inventory Advances Other assets Content library Supplier contracts and relationships Goodwill Total assets acquired Total liabilities assumed Total net assets acquired $ $ 15,524 2,224 7,698 152 17,211 11,691 16,952 71,452 (19,952) 51,500 The Company estimates the useful life of the content library and supplier contracts and relationships to be 6 years and 8 years, respectively. The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the application of various commonly used and accepted valuation procedures and methods, including the multi-period excess earnings method. These valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. The valuation of tangible assets was preliminarily determined to approximate book value at the time of the GVE Acquisition. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Goodwill is mainly attributable to the assembled workforce and synergies expected to arise from the GVE Acquisition. Pro forma Information Related To the Acquisition of GVE The following unaudited consolidated pro forma summary information for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 has been prepared by adjusting the historical data as set forth in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 to give effect to the GVE Acquisition as if it had occurred at April 1, 2012. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the GVE Acquisition, nor does the pro forma reflect additional revenue opportunities following the GVE Acquisition. For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2014 2013 Revenue Loss from continuing operations Net loss Net loss per share (basic and diluted) $ $ $ $ 124,914 $ (13,478) $ (25,382) $ 131,884 (9,387) (10,248) (0.44) $ (0.22) Sale of Software During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue, exit its software business and execute a plan of sale for Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Software (“Software”), the Company's direct, wholly- owned subsidiary. Management concluded that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for the Company’s focus to be toward theatrical releasing and aggregation and distribution of independent content, digitally and in the form of DVDs and Blu- Ray discs, and VOD, along with the growth and servicing of the existing digital cinema business. Further, management believed that Software, which was previously included in our Services segment, no longer yielded the same synergies across the Company’s businesses as once existed. As a consequence, it was determined that Software met the criteria for classification as held for sale/discontinued operations. As such, Software has been adjusted to reflect the fair value of its net assets and the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements presented herein have been recast solely to reflect, for all periods presented, the adjustments resulting from these changes in classification for discontinued operations. F-10 Purchase of New Video Group On April 20, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of New Video, an independent home entertainment distributor of quality packaged goods entertainment and digital content that provides distribution services in the DVD, Blu-ray, Digital and VOD channels for more than 500 independent rights holders (the “New Video Acquisition”). The Company paid $10,000 in cash and 2,525,417 shares of Class A common stock at $1.51 per share, subject to certain transfer restrictions, plus up to an additional $6,000 in cash or Class A common stock, at the Company’s discretion, if certain business unit financial performance targets are met during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015. In addition, the Company registered the resale of the shares of Class A common stock paid as part of the purchase price, which registration was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2013. Included within restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are merger and acquisition expenses, consisting primarily of professional fees, directly related to the New Video Acquisition totaled $1,900, of which $1,300 was incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The results of operations of New Video have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the date of the acquisition within the Company's Content & Entertainment segment. The total amount of revenues and net income of New Video since the acquisition date that have been included in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $13,400 and $1,500, respectively. As the acquisition of New Video was consummated near the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the difference between actual operating results and pro forma results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 is not substantial. The aggregate purchase price after post-closing adjustments for 100% of the equity of New Video was $17,207, including cash acquired of $6,873. The purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired as of the date of acquisition as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Other assets Intangible assets subject to amortization Goodwill Total assets acquired Less: Total liabilities assumed Less: Net deferred tax liability Total net assets acquired $ $ 6,873 8,983 1,142 13,915 6,974 37,887 (15,661) (5,019) 17,207 Of the $13,915 of intangible assets subject to amortization, $9,671 was assigned to customer relationships with a useful life of 15 years, $2,769 was assigned to a content library with a useful life of five years, $1,193 was assigned to a favorable lease with a useful life of approximately four years and $282 was assigned to covenants not to compete with a useful life of two years. The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the application of various commonly used and accepted valuation procedures and methods, including the multi-period excess earnings method. These valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. The valuation of tangible assets was determined to approximate book value at the time of the New Video Acquisition. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The goodwill of $6,974 represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is principally attributed to the assembled workforce and synergies anticipated as a result of the New Video Acquisition. F-11 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION The Company has incurred net losses historically and has an accumulated deficit of $268,686 as of March 31, 2014. The Company also has significant contractual obligations related to its recourse and non-recourse debt for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 and beyond. The Company may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s cash position at March 31, 2014, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through at least June 30, 2015. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinedigm, Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM”), FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Satellite and Support Services (“Satellite”), ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (certain assets and liabilities of which were sold in May 2011), Christie/AIX, Inc. ("C/AIX") d/b/a Cinedigm Digital Cinema (“Phase 1 DC”), Vistachiara Productions, Inc. f/k/a The Bigger Picture, currently d/b/a Cinedigm Content and Entertainment Group, Cinedigm Entertainment Corp. f/k/a New Video Group, Inc. ("New Video"), CHE, Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 DC”), Cinedigm Digital Cinema Australia Pty Ltd, Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 B/ AIX Corp. (“Phase 2 B/AIX”), Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC (“CDF I”) and Cinedigm DC Holdings LLC ("DC Holdings LLC"). Cinedigm Content and Entertainment Group, New Video and CHE are together referred to as CEG. Software, along with AccessDM and Satellite (together referred to as DMS (the majority of which was sold in November, 2011 and remaining assets of which were sold in May 2012)) are part of discontinued operations. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. INVESTMENT IN NON-CONSOLIDATED ENTITY The Company indirectly owns 100% of the common equity of CDF2 Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), which is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 ("ASC 810"), “Consolidation". The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Holdings in accordance with ASC 810, and it is accounting for its investment in Holdings under the equity method of accounting. The Company's net investment in Holdings is reflected as “Investment in non- consolidated entity, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for further discussion. RECLASSIFICATION Certain reclassifications, principally for discontinued operations (see Note 3) have been made to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 financial statements to conform to the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities and 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, recoupment of advances, minimum guarantees, assessment of goodwill and intangible asset impairment and valuation reserve for income taxes, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” The Company maintains bank accounts with major banks, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes 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. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $898 and $681 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. F-12 Within the Content & Entertainment segment, the Company recognizes the accounts receivable net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks at the time we recognize the original sale. We base the amount of the returns allowance and customer chargebacks upon historical experience and future expectations. Accounts receivable, long-term result from up-front activation fees earned from the Company's Systems deployments with extended payment terms that are discounted to their present value at prevailing market rates. 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 the Company provides content distribution services and such advances are estimated to be fully recoupable as of the consolidated balance sheet date. INVENTORY Inventory consists of finished goods of owned physical DVD 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 the item’s 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 In connection with the 2013 Term Loans issued in February 2013 and the 2013 Prospect Loan Agreement issued in February 2013 (collectively, see Note 6), the Company maintains cash restricted for repaying interest on the respective loans as follows: Reserve account related to the 2013 Term Loans (See Note 6) Reserve account related to the 2013 Prospect Loan Agreement (See Note 6) As of March 31, 2014 As of March 31, 2013 5,751 1,000 6,751 $ 5,751 1,000 6,751 $ DEFERRED COSTS Deferred costs primarily consist of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2013 Term Loans, 2013 Prospect Loan and Cinedigm Credit Agreement (see Note 6) which are amortized under the effective interest rate method over the terms of the respective debt. All other unamortized debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective debt. For such debt, amortization on a straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method. 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 Digital cinema projection systems Machinery and equipment Furniture and fixtures 3 - 5 years 10 years 3 - 10 years 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. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The Company had three separate interest rate swap agreements (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) to limit the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates related to the 2013 Term Loans which matured in June 2013. Additionally, the Company entered into two separate interest rate cap transactions during the fiscal year ended F-13 March 31, 2013, recorded in prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, to limit the Company's exposure to interest rates related to the 2013 Term Loans and 2013 Prospect Loan. Changes in 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. The Company has not sought hedge accounting treatment for these instruments and therefore, changes in the value of its Interest Rate Swaps and caps were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations (See Note 6). 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s financial assets and liabilities: Restricted cash Interest rate derivatives Cash equivalents Restricted cash Interest rate derivatives Contingent consideration Level 1 6,751 — 6,751 Level 1 1,004 6,751 — — 7,755 $ $ $ $ $ $ As of March 31, 2014 Level 3 Level 2 — 787 787 $ — — — $ As of March 31, 2013 Level 3 Level 2 — $ — (544) — (544) $ — $ — — (3,250) (3,250) $ Total 6,751 787 7,538 Total 1,004 6,751 (544) (3,250) 3,961 Contingent consideration was a liability to the sellers of New Video based upon its business unit financial performance target in each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2014 and 2015. The estimates of the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated by using the current forecast of New Video adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the New Video stock purchase agreement. That measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The following change in contingent consideration liabilities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were as follows: Balance at March 31, 2013 Change in fair value Accretion of contingent liability Balance at March 31, 2014 $ $ 3,250 (3,490) 240 — Key assumptions included a discount rate of 7% and that New Video would achieve 100% of its business unit financial performance target in each of the two fiscal years described above, resulting in a payment of 75% of the maximum contingent consideration amount. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company determined that the business unit would not meet the target for each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2014 and 2015 as defined in the New Video stock purchase agreement. Accordingly, the fair value of the liability was reduced by $3,490 to $0 and is a reduction of restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net within the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. F-14 The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, long-term and notes receivable approximates fair value based on the discounted cash flows of that instrument using current assumptions at the balance sheet date. At March 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt was $74,618, compared to its carrying amount of $71,964. At March 31, 2014 the estimated fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt was $172,102, compared to a carrying amount of $169,384. The fair value of fixed rate and variable rate debt is estimated by management based upon current interest rates available to the Company at the respective balance sheet date for arrangements with similar terms and conditions. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company 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 The Company reviews the recoverability of its 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 the Company’s 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. The Company then estimates the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future undiscounted cash flows. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment charge from continuing operations for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets was recorded. 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 the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether the Company’s remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance when testing goodwill for impairment which permits the Company to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill is impaired, or opt to bypass the qualitative assessment, and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test. If the Company performs a qualitative assessment and concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is then required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The Company has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. For reporting units where we decide to perform a qualitative assessment, Company management assesses and makes 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. Management then considers 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 the Company operates and estimating the fair values of tangible F-15 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 management. 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. The market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk profile relative to the comparable companies as a group. The most significant assumptions are the market multiplies and the control premium. The Company has elected not to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of impairment testing. During the annual testing of goodwill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, management performed the quantitative assessment for its CEG reporting unit, the only reporting unit with goodwill. In determining fair value using 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 estimate 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 annual impairment test should not be construed as earnings guidance or long-term projections and are typically more conservative projections. The assumptions include growth rates in adjusted EBITDA that are derived from the Company's budget and projections for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 of approximately $8,400 with growth rates of 66% and 13% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and a flat growth rate for goodwill testing purposes of approximately 5% for CEG for the fiscal years thereafter through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. Further, we assumed a market-based weighted average cost of capital of 13% for CEG to discount cash flows and a blended federal and state tax rate of 40%. Based on the assumptions above, the estimated fair value of the CEG reporting unit as calculated for goodwill testing purposes exceeded its carrying value, inclusive of goodwill of $25,494, by over 43%. Thus, a potential future decrease in the fair value of this reporting unit would have a carrying value in excess of the fair value. As such, no further analysis of the CEG reporting unit was required and no goodwill impairment was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. There is, however, a significant risk of future impairment if management's expectations of future cash flows are not achieved. Information related to the goodwill allocated to the Company's Content & Entertainment segment is as follows: As of March 31, 2012 Goodwill resulting from the New Video Acquisition As of March 31, 2013 Goodwill resulting from the GVE Acquisition As of March 31, 2014 $ $ 1,568 6,974 8,542 16,952 25,494 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 and to Phase 2 DC when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing the Company’s Systems installed in movie theatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year. 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 and Phase 2 DC’s performance obligations have been substantially met at that time. F-16 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 agreements, 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 the Company’s 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, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to the Company. 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, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment. Alternative content fees (“ACFs”) are earned pursuant to contracts with movie exhibitors, whereby amounts are payable to Phase 1 DC 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 are deferred for up front exhibitor contributions and are recognized over the cost recoupment period, which is expected to be ten years. Services Exhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment, paid an upfront activation fee that is generally $2 thousand per screen to the Company (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). These upfront activation fees are recognized in the period in which these exhibitor owned Systems are ready for content, as the Company has no further obligations to the customer, and are generally paid quarterly from VPF revenues over approximately one year. Additionally, the Company recognizes activation fee revenue of between $1 thousand and $2 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by Holdings upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. The Company will then manage the billing and collection of VPFs and will remit all VPFs collected to the exhibitors, less an administrative fee that will approximate up to 10% of the VPFs collected. The administrative fee related to the Phase I Deployment approximates 5% of the VPFs collected and 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) is 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. The fee rate earned by the Company varies depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers. Generally, revenues are recognized at the availability date of the content for a subscription digital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services. 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 is 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. Movie Cost Amortization Once a movie is released, capitalized acquisition costs are amortized and participations and residual costs are accrued on an individual title basis in the proportion to the revenue recognized during the period for each title ("Period Revenue") bears to the estimated remaining total revenue to be recognized from all sources for each title ("Ultimate Revenue"). The amount of movie and other costs that is amortized each period will depend on the ratio of Period Revenue to Ultimate Revenue for each movie. The Company makes certain estimates and judgments of Ultimate Revenue to be recognized for each title. Ultimate Revenue does not include estimates of revenue that will be earned beyond 5 years of a movie’s initial theatrical release date. Movie cost amortization is a component of direct operating costs within the consolidated statements of operations. F-17 Estimates of Ultimate Revenue and anticipated participation and residual costs are reviewed periodically in the ordinary course of business and are revised if necessary. A change in any given period to the Ultimate Revenue for an individual title will result in an increase or decrease in the percentage of amortization of capitalized movie and other costs and accrued participation and residual costs relative to a previous period. Depending on the performance of a title, significant changes to the future Ultimate Revenue may occur, which could result in significant changes to the amortization of the capitalized acquisition costs. 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, marketing and direct personnel costs. PARTICIPATIONS PAYABLE The Company records liabilities within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet, that represent amounts owed to studios or content producers for which the Company provides content distribution services for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. The Company identifies and records as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to the Company by such studios or content producers. ADVERTISING Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded advertising costs of $101 and $111, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded employee and director stock-based compensation from continuing operations of $2,282 and $2,044, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.90 and $0.88, respectively. There were 106,951 stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there were no exercises of stock options. The Company estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: Assumptions for Option Grants Range of risk-free interest rates Dividend yield Expected life (years) Range of expected volatilities For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 0.7 - 1.6% — 5 72.6- 73.7% 2013 0.6 - 0.9% — 5 74.5 - 76.2% The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted under the Company’s stock option plan awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. The Company does not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted under the Company’s stock option plans using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior, as well as consideration of outstanding options. The Company estimates expected volatility for options granted under the Company’s stock option plans based on a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock. Employee and director stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations related to the Company’s stock-based awards was as follows: F-18 For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013 2014 $ $ 22 2,260 2,282 $ $ 15 2,029 2,044 Direct operating Selling, general and administrative NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculated as follows: Basic and diluted net loss per common share = Net loss + preferred dividends Weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period Shares issued and any shares that are reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding. The Company incurred net losses for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and, therefore, the impact of dilutive potential common shares from outstanding stock options and warrants, totaling 28,601,920 shares and 23,594,108 shares as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the computation as it would be anti-dilutive. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. The update will be effective for the Company during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. The adoption of the update may impact whether future disposals qualify as discontinued operations and therefore could impact the Company's financial statement presentation and disclosures. F-19 3.

INVESTMENT IN NON-CONSOLIDATED ENTITY Investment in Holdings As of March 31, 2014 2013 36,803 26,577 554 302 280 1,019 7,069 72,604 $ $ 18,089 14,452 1,175 258 987 — 4,816 39,777 $ $ As discussed in Note 2, Holdings, a subsidiary of Phase 2 DC, which is wholly owned by the Company, and its wholly owned limited liability company, Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC, were created for the purpose of capitalizing on the conversion of the exhibition industry from film to digital technology. Holdings assists customers in procuring the necessary equipment in the conversion of their Systems by providing the necessary financing, equipment, installation and related ongoing services. Holdings is a VIE, as defined in ASC 810, indirectly wholly owned by the Company. ASC 810 requires the consolidation of VIEs by an entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE which 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 Holdings is indirectly wholly owned by the Company, a third party, which also has a variable interest in Holdings, along with an independent third party manager and the Company must mutually approve all business activities and transactions that significantly impact Holdings' economic performance. The Company has thus assessed its variable interests in Holdings and determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Holdings and therefore accounts for its investment in Holdings under the equity method of accounting. In completing our assessment, the Company identified the activities that it considers most significant to the economic performance of Holdings and determined that we do not have the power to direct those activities. As a result, Holdings' financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as it relates to Holdings as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes: • The investment in the equity of Holdings of $0 and $1,812, respectively; and • Accounts receivable due from Holdings for service fees under its master service agreement of $346 and $396, respectively, included within accounts receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company received $1,077 and $1,597 in aggregate revenues through digital cinema servicing fees from Holdings, respectively, included in revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Holding’s Total Stockholder’s Deficit at March 31, 2014 was $2,714. The Company has no obligation to fund the operating loss or the deficit beyond its initial investment, and accordingly, the Company carried its investment in Holdings at $0. The changes in the carrying amount of our investment in Holdings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 are as follows: Balance at March 31, 2012 Equity in income of Holdings Balance at March 31, 2013 Equity in loss of Holdings Balance at March 31, 2014 $ $ 1,490 322 1,812 (1,812) — F-23 6.

The 2013 Credit Agreement amended and restated its prior credit agreement. The primary changes effected by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were (i) changing the aggregate principal amount of the term loans to $130,000, which included an assignment of $5,000 of the principal balance to an affiliate of CDF I, (ii) changing the interest rate (described further below) and (iii) extending the term of the credit facility to February 2018.

All collections and revenues of CDF I are deposited into designated accounts, from which amounts are paid out on a monthly basis to pay certain operating expenses and principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses relating to the 2013 Credit Agreement according to certain designated priorities. On a quarterly basis, if funds remain after the payment of all such amounts, they will be applied to prepay the 2013 Term Loans. The 2013 Term Loans mature and must be paid in full by February 28, 2018. In addition, CDF I may prepay the 2013 Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to paying certain breakage costs, if applicable, and a 1.0% prepayment premium if a prepayment is made during the first year of the 2013 Term Loans. The LIBOR rate at March 31, 2014 was 0.15%. The 2013 Credit Agreement also requires each of CDF I’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") to guarantee, under an Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement dated as of February 28, 2013 by and among CDF I, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent (the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”), the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement, and all such obligations to be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the collective F-24 assets of CDF I and the Guarantors, including real estate owned or leased, and all capital stock or other equity interests in C/AIX, the direct holder of CDF I’s equity, CDF I and CDF I’s subsidiaries.

All collections and revenues of CDF I are deposited into designated accounts. These amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and are only available to pay certain operating expenses, principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses relating to the 2013 Credit Agreement, according to certain designated priorities, which totaled $6,493 and $6,787 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to a capital lease obligation where we have no continuing involvement other than being the primary obligor. A sub-lease agreement, through which an unrelated third party purchaser pays the capital lease, was amended during January 2013. The impact of the capital lease amendment to the Company's consolidated financial statements was not material. LITIGATION We are subject to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect any such items to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations and liquidity. LEASES As of March 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding capital lease obligations of $6,086. In May 2011, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the Pavilion Theatre and from that point forward, it will not be operated by the Company. The Company has remained the primary obligor on the Pavilion capital lease and entered into a separate sublease agreement with the third party to sublet the Pavilion Theatre. F-30 During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced its capital lease obligation resulting from an amended sub- lease agreement in January 2013, through which an unrelated third party purchaser pays the capital lease and the Company is the primary obligor. As of March 31, 2014, minimum future capital lease payments (including interest) totaled $10,656, are due as follows: For the fiscal years ending March 31, $ 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Thereafter Less: amount representing interest at rates ranging from 5.7% to 17.7% Outstanding capital lease obligation $ 1,471 1,441 1,441 1,301 1,152 3,850 10,656 (4,570) 6,086 The corresponding asset included in property and equipment, net for the Pavilion Theatre was $3,948 as of March 31, 2014. The Company’s businesses operate from leased properties under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. As of March 31, 2014, obligations under non-cancelable operating leases totaled $1,589 and are due as follows: For the fiscal years ending March 31, 2015 2016 $ $ 1,283 306 1,589 Total rent expense was $1,484 and $1,217 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 9.

SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is comprised of four reportable segments: Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment, Services and Content & Entertainment. The segments were determined based on the products and services provided by each segment and how management reviews and makes decisions regarding segment operations. Performance of the segments is evaluated on the segment’s income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments consist of the following: Operations of: Phase 1 DC Phase 2 DC Products and services provided: Financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s 3,724 Systems installed nationwide in Phase 1 DC’s deployment to theatrical exhibitors. The Company retains 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. Financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s 8,904 Systems installed in the second digital cinema deployment and international deployments, through Phase 2 DC. The Company retains 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. The Services segment provides monitoring, billing, collection, verification and other management services to the Company’s Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment, Holdings, as well as to exhibitors who purchase their own equipment. Services also collects and disburses VPFs from motion picture studios and distributors and ACFs from alternative content providers, movie exhibitors and theatrical exhibitors. The Content & Entertainment segment, or CEG, is a leading distributor of independent content, collaborates with producers and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute independent content to targeted and profitable audiences in theatres and homes, and via mobile and emerging platforms. One customer represented approximately 11% of consolidated revenues of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company completed a strategic assessment of its resource requirements within its Content & Entertainment reporting segment which, based upon the GVE Acquisition, resulted in a restructuring expense of $1,513 as a result of workforce reduction and severance and employee-related expenses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Transition expenses of $525 are principally attributed to the integration after the GVE Acquisition. Each of these expenses are a component of restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net within the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. A summary of activity for restructuring activities included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2014 is as follows: Balance at March 31, 2013 Total Cost Amounts Paid/ Adjusted Balance at March 31, 2014 $ — $ 2,011 $ (992) $ 1,019 12. INCOME TAXES The Company did not recognize income tax benefit or expense during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The components of the benefit from income taxes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was as follows: Federal: Deferred Total federal State: Current Deferred Total state Total benefit from income taxes For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 $ $ 4,731 4,731 (75) 288 213 4,944 F-38 Net deferred taxes consisted of the following: Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards Stock based compensation Revenue deferral Interest rate swap Capital loss carryforwards Other Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance Less: Valuation allowance Total deferred tax assets after valuation allowance Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization Intangibles Total deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax As of March 31, 2014 2013 $ $ $ $ 98,407 4,210 109 148 3,734 1,314 107,922 (74,323) 33,599 $ $ (30,252) $ (3,347) (33,599) — $ 96,920 4,001 119 421 3,734 389 105,584 (68,835) 36,749 (32,393) (4,356) (36,749) — The Company has provided a valuation allowance equal to its net deferred tax assets for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company is required to recognize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets if it believes that it is more likely than not, given the weight of all available evidence, that all or a portion of its deferred tax assets will be realized. Management assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based on actual and forecasted operating results. The Company assessed both its positive and negative evidence to determine the proper amount of its required valuation allowance. Factors considered include the Company's current taxable income and projections of future taxable income. Management increased the valuation allowance by $5,488 (net of the reduction described hereafter) and $6,933 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, a net deferred tax liability of $5,019 was recorded upon the New Video Acquisition for the excess of the financial statement basis over the tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities. As New Video is included in the Company's consolidated federal and state tax returns, deferred tax liabilities assumed in the New Video Acquisition were able to offset the reversal of the Company's pre-existing deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company's valuation allowance was reduced by $5,019 and recorded as a deferred tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Management 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, 2014, the Company had Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $254,000 available in the United States of America ("US") and approximately $36 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. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating losses that may be utilized in future years. As of March 31, 2014, approximately $6,300 of the Company's net operating loss from periods prior to November 2003 are subject to an annual Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382") limitation of approximately $1,300, and approximately $25,100 of net operating losses from periods prior to March 2006 are subject to an annual Section 382 limitation of approximately $9,400. Net operating losses of approximately $221,000, which were generated since March 2006 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. F-39 The differences between the United States statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows: Provision at the U.S. statutory federal tax rate State income taxes, net of federal benefit Change in valuation allowance Non-deductible equity compensation Acquisition costs and adjustments Sale of subsidiary Other Income tax benefit As of March 31, 2014 2013 34.0% 4.6 (38.7) (4.3) 3.9 — 0.5 —% 34.0% 3.0 (17.7) (2.4) (1.4) 6.8 (1.9) 20.4% Since April 1, 2007, the Company has applied accounting principles that clarify the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any uncertainties in income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. For federal income tax purposes, the Company’s fiscal 2011 through 2014 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three year statute of limitations. For state tax purposes, the Company’s fiscal 2010 through 2014 tax years generally remain open for examination by most of the tax authorities under a four year statute of limitations. For Australian tax purposes, the Company’s initial fiscal year end March 31, 2014 tax year is open for examination. 13.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Principal Executive Officer or Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial & Accounting Officer or Chief Financial Officer, and effected by the Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: • • • pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the level of compliance with related policies or procedures may deteriorate. In making the assessment, management used the 1992 framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria. Based on that assessment, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial & Accounting Officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of March 31, 2014. This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, nor does it include consideration of acquisitions by the Company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during this fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
