BUSINESSOVERVIEWCinedigm Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). We are (i) a leadingdistributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles andepisodes released across digital, physical, and home and mobile entertainment platforms as well as (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets on over12,000 domestic and foreign movie screens.Since our inception, we have played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition toour pioneering role in transitioning over 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have become a leadingdistributor of independent content, both through organic growth and acquisitions. We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, Televisa, ZDF,Shout! Factory, NFL, NHL and Scholastic as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and othershort form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute qualitycontent to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox,PlayStation, and cable video-on-demand ("VOD") and (ii) packaged distribution of DVD and Blu-ray discs to wholesalers and retailers with sales coverage toover 60,000 brick and mortar storefronts, including Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Amazon. In addition, we operate a growing number of branded andcurated over-the-top ("OTT") entertainment channels, including Docurama, CONtv and Dove Channel.We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digitalcinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content1and entertainment group (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financingvehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States and Canada, and inAustralia and New Zealand. Our Services segment provides fee-based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment and Phase IIDeployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verificationservices. Our Content & Entertainment segment is a market leader in: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content, and (2)branded and curated OTT digital network business providing entertainment channels, applications and distribution services.We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, our Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operatesindependently from our Content & Entertainment business. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $63.8 million of non-recourse outstanding debtprincipal that relates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business. We also have approximately $84.3 million of outstanding debt principal, as ofMarch 31, 2017 that is attributable to our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.CONTENT & ENTERTAINMENTContent Distribution and our OTT Entertainment Channels and ApplicationsCinedigm Entertainment Group, or CEG, is a leading independent content distributor in the United States as well as an innovator and leader in the quicklyevolving OTT digital network business. We are unique among most independent distributors because of our direct relationships with thousands of physicalretail locations and digital platforms, including Walmart, Target, iTunes, Netflix and Amazon, as well as the national Video on Demand platforms. Our libraryof films and television episodes encompass award-winning documentaries from Docurama Films®, acclaimed independent films, festival picks and a widerange of content from brand name suppliers, including Scholastic, NFL, Shout! Factory and Hallmark.Additionally, we are leveraging our infrastructure, technology, content and distribution expertise to rapidly and cost effectively build and expand our OTTdigital network business. Our first channel, Docurama, launched in May 2014 as an advertising-supported video on demand service ("AVOD") across mostInternet connected devices and now contains hundreds of documentary films to stream. In December 2015, we successfully transitioned Docurama to asubscription video on demand ("SVOD") service with its launch on Amazon Prime. In March 2015, Wizard World, Inc. and we launched CONtv, a fandom andpop culture entertainment targeted lifestyle channel and "Freemium" service with both AVOD and SVOD components. Our Freemium business modelprovides users with free content and the ability to upgrade to a selection of premium services by paying subscription fees. CONtv is one of the largestFreemium OTT channels available in terms of hours of content, with over 3,000 hours of film and television episodes, including original programs and livecoverage of Comic-Con and pop culture events from around the country. In the fall of 2015, we introduced our third OTT channel, Dove EntertainmentChannel, which is a family entertainment service providing high-quality film and television programs approved by the Dove Foundation. In February 2017,we announced our fourth channel, Wham Network, which is an entertainment, news and lifestyle channel targeting the eSports industry. Wham Network isexpected to launch in the Fall of 2017.We distribute our OTT content in two distinct ways: direct to consumer, through major application platforms such as the Internet, iOS, Android, Roku,AppleTV, Amazon Fire, and Samsung; and through third party distributors of content on emerging platforms such as Amazon Prime.CEG has focused its activities in the areas of: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content, and (2) branded and curated over-the-top OTT digital network business providing entertainment channels and applications. With these complementary entertainment distribution capabilities,we believe that we are capitalizing on the key drivers of value that we believe are critical to success in content distribution going forward.Our CEG segment holds direct relationships with thousands of physical storefronts and digital retailers, including Walmart, Target, iTunes, Netflix, andAmazon, as well as all the national cable and satellite television VOD platforms.Our StrategyDirect to consumer digital distribution of film and television content over the Internet is rapidly growing. We believe that our large library of film andtelevision episodes, long-standing relationships with digital platforms, up-to-date technologies and three years of experience operating OTT channels, willallow us to continue to build a diversified portfolio of narrowcast OTT channels that generate recurring revenue streams from advertising, merchandising andsubscriptions. We plan to launch niche channels that make use of our existing library of titles, while partnering with strong brands that bring namerecognition, marketing support and an existing customer base for new channel opportunities.2Rapid changes in the entertainment landscape require that we continually refine our strategy to adapt to new technologies and consumer behaviors. Forexample, we have added acquisitions of home entertainment content to focus on long-term partnerships with producers of high quality, cast-driven, genrecontent, to our traditional catalog based titles business. In recent years, we acquired the distribution rights to a variety of new and original films. In addition,we have accelerated our efforts to be a leader in the OTT digital network business, where we can leverage our existing infrastructure and library, inpartnership with well-known brands, to distribute our content direct-to-consumers.We believe that we are well positioned to succeed in the OTT channel business for the following key reasons:•Three years of history operating OTT channels with millions of downloads, hundreds of thousands of registered users, and hundreds of millions ofdiscrete data points on our customer’s behavior and preferences,•The enormous depth and breadth of our almost 50,000 title film and television episode library,•Our digital assets and deep, long-standing relationships as launch partners that cover the major digital platforms and devices,•Our marketing expertise,•Our flexible releasing strategies, which differ from larger entertainment companies that need to protect their legacy businesses,•Our strengthened capital base, and•Our experienced management teamIntellectual PropertyWe own certain copyrights, trademarks and Internet domain names in connection with the Content & Entertainment business. We view these proprietaryrights as valuable assets. We maintain registrations, where appropriate, to protect them and monitor them on an ongoing basis.CustomersFor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, two customers, Walmart and Amazon, represented 10% or more of CEG's revenues and one of these customersrepresented approximately 34% of our consolidated revenues.CompetitionNumerous companies are engaged in various forms of producing and distributing independent movies and alternative content. These competitors may havesignificantly greater financial, marketing and managerial resources than we do, may have generated greater revenue and may be better known than we are atthis time. Competitors to our Content & Entertainment segment are as follows:•Anchor Bay Entertainment•Entertainment One (eOne) Ltd.•IFC Entertainment•Lionsgate Entertainment•Magnolia Pictures•Pureflix•RLJ Entertainment, Inc.•Warner Brothers Digital Networks•AMC NetworksDEPLOYMENTOur Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments consist of the following:3Operations of: Products and services provided:Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC (“Phase1 DC”) Financing vehicles and administrators for 3,724 Systems installed nationwide in Phase 1 DC's deploymentto theatrical exhibitors. We retain ownership of the Systems and the residual cash flows related to theSystems after the repayment of all non-recourse debt at the expiration of exhibitor, master licenseagreements. As of March 31, 2017, we are no longer earning virtual print fees ("VPFs") revenues fromcertain major studios on 2,467 of such systems.Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp.(“Phase 2 DC”) Financing vehicles and administrators for our 8,904 Systems installed in the second digital cinemadeployment and international deployments, through Phase 2 DC. We retain no ownership of the residualcash flows and digital cinema equipment after the completion of cost recoupment and at the expiration ofthe exhibitor master license agreements.In June 2005, we formed our Phase I Deployment segment in order to purchase up to 4,000 Systems under an amended framework agreement with ChristieDigital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”). As of March 31, 2017, Phase I Deployment had 3,724 Systems installed.In October 2007, we formed our Phase II Deployment segment for the administration of up to 10,000 additional Systems. As of March 31, 2017, Phase IIDeployment had 8,904 of such Systems installed.Our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments own and license Systems to theatrical exhibitors and collect VPFs from motion picture studiosand distributors, as well as alternative content fees ("ACFs") from alternative content providers and theatrical exhibitors, when content is shown on exhibitors'screens. We have licensed the necessary software and technology solutions to the exhibitor and have facilitated the industry's transition from analog (film) todigital cinema. As part of the Phase I Deployment of our Systems, we have agreements with nine motion picture studios and certain smaller independentstudios and exhibitors, allowing us to collect VPFs and ACFs when content is shown in theatres, in exchange for having facilitated and financed thedeployment of Systems. Phase 1 DC has agreements with 20 theatrical exhibitors that license our Systems in order to show digital content distributed by themotion picture studios and other providers, including Content & Entertainment, which is described below.Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certaindistributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deploymentinstallation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31,2017, 2,467 of the systems in our Phase I Deployment segment had ceased to earn a significant portion VPF revenue from certain major studios, representingapproximately 66% of the total Systems in our Phase I Deployment. By December 2017, we expect that nearly all of our Phase I Deployment systems will nolonger earn VPF revenue from certain major studios. We expect to continue to earn VPFs from other distributors and ancillary revenue from the Phase IDeployment Systems through December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financialstatements. The expected reduction in VPF revenue on our Phase I Deployment systems is scheduled to approximately coincide with the conclusion ofcertain of our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, we expect that reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations will partiallyoffset reduced VPF revenue after November 2017.Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms, or; (3) purchasethe Systems from us at fair-market-value.Our Phase II Deployment segment has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with eight motion picture studios, and certain smaller independentstudios and exhibitors, to distribute digital movie releases to exhibitors equipped with our Systems, for which we and our wholly owned, non-consolidatedsubsidiary Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC ("CDF2 Holdings") earn VPFs. As of March 31, 2017, our Phase II Deployment segment also entered into masterlicense agreements with 434 exhibitors and CDF2 covering 8,992 screens, whereby the exhibitors agreed to install our Systems. As of March 31, 2017, wehad 8,904 Phase 2 DC Systems installed, including 6,428 screens under the exhibitor-buyer structure ("Exhibitor-Buyer Structure"), 1,050 screens covering10 exhibitors through non-recourse financing provided by KBC Bank NV (“KBC”), 1,421 screens covering 179 exhibitors through CDF2, and 22 screensunder other arrangements with two exhibitors.Exhibitors paid us an installation fee of up to $2.0 thousand per screen out of the VPFs collected by our Services segment. We manage the billing andcollection of VPFs and remit to exhibitors all VPFs collected, less an administrative fee of approximately 10%. For Phase 2 DC Systems we own and financeon a non-recourse basis, we typically received a similar installation fee of up4to $2.0 thousand per screen and an ongoing administrative fee of approximately 10% of VPFs collected. We have recorded no debt, property and equipment,financing costs or depreciation in connection with Systems covered under the Exhibitor-Buyer Structure and CDF2 Holdings.VPFs are earned pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable to our Phase I and Phase II deployment businessesaccording to fixed fee schedules, when movies distributed by studios are displayed in movie theatres using our installed Systems. One VPF is payable to usupon the initial booking of a movie, for every movie title displayed per System. Therefore, the amount of VPF revenue that we earn depends on the number ofunique movie titles released and displayed using our Systems. Our Phase II Deployment segment earns VPF revenues only for Systems that it owns.Our Phase II Deployment agreements with distributors require payment of VPFs for ten years from the date that each system is installed; however, we may nolonger collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, is achieved. Cost recoupment will occur oncethe cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by us have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, allfinancing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs,” as defined, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the four-year roll-out period and thereafter.Furthermore, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable to us by the studios. Cashflows, net of expenses, received by our Phase II Deployment business, following the achievement of cost recoupment, must be returned to the distributors on apro-rata basis. At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment.Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will have reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject to earlierachievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems.Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end byDecember 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.CustomersPhase I and Phase II Deployment customers are mainly motion picture studios and theatrical exhibitors. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, 5customers, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Disney Worldwide Services, Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation, each represented10% or more of Phase 1 DC's revenues and together generated 58%, 64% and 21% of Phase 1 DC's, Phase 2 DC's and consolidated revenues, respectively. Nosingle Phase 1 DC or Phase 2 DC customer comprised more than 10% of our consolidated accounts receivable. We expect to continue to conduct businesswith each of these customers during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.SeasonalityRevenues earned by our Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios are seasonal, coinciding with thetiming of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and thewinter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have asignificant 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 moreevenly throughout the year.SERVICESOur Services segment provides monitoring, billing, collection, verification and other management services to Phase 1 DC and Phase 2 DC as well as toexhibitor-buyers who purchase their own equipment. Our Services segment provides such services to the 3,724 screens in the Phase 1 Deployment for amonthly 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. TheServices segment also provides services to the 8,904 Phase 2 Systems deployed, for which we typically receive a monthly fee of approximately 10% of theVPFs earned by Phase 2 DC. The total Phase 2 service fees are subject to an annual limitation under the terms of our agreements with motion picture studios,and are determined based upon the respective Exhibitor-Buyer Structure, KBC or CDF2 agreements. Unpaid service fees in any period remain an obligationto Phase 2 DC in the cost recoupment framework. Such fees are not recognized as income or accrued as an asset on our balance sheet given the uncertainty ofthe receipt and the timing thereof as future movie release and bookings are not known. Service fees are accrued and recognized only on deployed Phase 2Systems. As a result, the annual service fee limitation is variable until these fees are paid.5In February 2013, we (i) assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Cinedigm DC Holdings LLC (“DC Holdings ”), the right and obligation to service thedigital cinema projection systems from the Phase I Deployment and certain systems that were part of the Phase II Deployment, (ii) delegated to DC Holdingsthe right and obligation to service certain other systems that were part of the Phase II Deployment and (iii) assigned to DC Holdings the right to receiveservicing fees from the Phase I and Phase II Deployments. We also transferred to DC Holdings certain of our operational staff whose responsibilities andactivities relate solely to the operation of the servicing business and to provide DC Holdings with the right to use the supporting software and otherintellectual property associated with the operation of the servicing business.Our Services segment also has international servicing partnerships in Australia and New Zealand with the Independent Cinema Association of Australia andis currently servicing 530 screens as of March 31, 2017.CustomersFor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, no customer comprised more than 10% of Services' revenues or accounts receivable.CompetitionOur Services segment faces limited competition domestically in its digital cinema services business as the major Hollywood movie studios have only signeddigital cinema deployment agreements with five entities, including us, and the deployment period in North America is now complete. Competitors include:Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (“DCIP”), a joint venture of three large exhibitors (Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.) focused on managing the conversions of those three exhibitors; Sony Digital Cinema, to support the deployment of Sonyprojection equipment; Christie Digital USA, Inc., to support the deployment of Christie equipment; and GDC, Inc., to support the deployment of GDCequipment. We have a significantly greater market share than all other competitors except for the DCIP consortium, which services approximately 16,000total screens representing its consortium members.As we expand our servicing platform internationally, additional competitors beyond those listed above consist of Arts Alliance, Inc., a leading digital cinemaservicer focused on the European markets, GDC, as well as other potential local start-ups seeking to service a specific international market. We typically seekto partner with a leading local entity to combine our efficient servicing infrastructure and strong studio relationships with the necessary local marketexpertise and exhibitor relationships.ENVIRONMENTALThe nature of our business does not subject us to environmental laws in any material manner.EMPLOYEESAs of March 31, 2017, we had 114 employees, with 8 part-time and 106 full-time, of which 11 are in sales and marketing, 57 are in operations, and 38 are inexecutive, finance, technology and administration functions.AVAILABLE INFORMATION Our Internet website address is www.cinedigm.com.

RISK FACTORSRisks Related to our BusinessWe maintain a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness, which could impair our ability to operate our business and react to changes in ourbusiness, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our debt.We maintain a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness, which could impair our ability to operate our business and react to changes in our business,remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our debt. Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including,without limitation:•requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness,therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and generalcorporate or other purposes;•limiting our ability to pursue our growth strategy or, including restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make nonstrategicdivestitures;•placing us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less leveraged and may be better able to use their cash flow to fund competitiveresponses to changing industry, market or economic conditions; and•making us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business, our industry or the economy in general.In addition, our current credit facilities contain, and any future credit facilities will likely contain, covenants and other provisions that restrict our operations.These restrictive covenants and provisions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make needed capital expenditures, withstand a future downturnin our business or the economy in general, or otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities, and may prevent us from taking advantage of businessopportunities that arise in the future. If we refinance our credit facilities, we cannot guarantee that any new credit facility will not contain similar covenantsand restrictions.We face the risks of doing business in new and rapidly evolving markets and may not be able successfully to address such risks and achieve acceptablelevels of success or profits.We have encountered and may continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and difficulties frequently experienced in new and rapidly evolvingmarkets, including:•limited operating experience;•net losses;•lack of sufficient customers or loss of significant customers;•a changing business focus;•the downward trend in sales of physical DVD and Blu-ray discs;•rapidly-changing technology for some of the products and services we offer; and•difficulties in managing potentially rapid growth.We expect competition to be intense. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.The markets for the digital cinema business and the content distribution business are competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological and otherchanges. We expect the intensity of competition in each of these areas to increase in the future. Companies willing to expend the necessary capital to createfacilities and/or capabilities similar to ours may compete with our business. Increased competition may result in reduced revenues and/or margins and loss ofmarket share, any of which could seriously harm our business. In order to compete effectively in each of these fields, we must differentiate ourselves fromcompetitors.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 togenerate revenues and our results of operations. Many of our competitors also have significantly greater name and brand recognition and a larger customerbase 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.7Strategic and financially appropriate acquisitions are a key component of our growth strategy. Although there are no other acquisitions identified by us asprobable at this time, we may make further acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses or assets. Even if we identify appropriate acquisitioncandidates, we may be unable to negotiate successfully the terms of the acquisitions, finance them, integrate the acquired business into our then existingbusiness and/or attract and retain customers. Completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired business may require a significant diversion ofmanagement time and resources and may involve assuming new liabilities. Any acquisition also involves the risks that the assets acquired may prove lessvaluable than expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. If we make one or more significant acquisitions inwhich any of the consideration consists of our capital stock, your equity interest in the Company could be diluted, perhaps significantly. If we were toproceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our availablecash, 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 valuablethan we expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. In addition, we assumed certain liabilities in connectionwith these acquisitions and we cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy adequately such assumed liabilities. Other companies that offer similarproducts and services may be able to market and sell their products and services more cost-effectively than we can.We have recorded goodwill impairment charges and may be required to record additional charges to future earnings if our goodwill becomes furtherimpaired or our intangible assets become impaired.We are required under generally accepted accounting principles to review our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events orchanges in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that may beconsidered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our reporting units and intangible assets may not be recoverable include a declinein stock price and market capitalization, slower growth rates in our industry or our own operations, and/or other materially adverse events that haveimplications on the profitability of our business. In fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $18.0 million in ourContent & Entertainment operating segment. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements included inItem 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details. We may be required to record additional charges to earnings during any period in which a furtherimpairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is determined which could adversely affect our results of operations.If we do not manage our growth, our business will be harmed.We may not be successful in managing our growth. Past growth has placed, and future growth will continue to place, significant challenges on ourmanagement and resources, related to the successful integration of the newly acquired businesses. To manage the expected growth of our operations, we willneed 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 ifwe do not effectively manage our growth.If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business will suffer.We depend heavily on technology and viewing content to operate our business. Our success depends on protecting our intellectual property, which is one ofour most important assets. We have intellectual property consisting of:•rights to certain domain names;•registered service marks on certain names and phrases;•various unregistered trademarks and service marks;•film, television and other forms of viewing content;•know-how; and•rights to certain logos.If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business, financial position and results of operations would be harmed. Our means of protectingour intellectual property may not be adequate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our8intellectual property or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, competitors may be able to devise methods of competingwith our business that are not covered by our intellectual property. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate ourtechnology 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 domainnames and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names thatare similar to or diminish the value of our proprietary rights.Our substantial debt and lease obligations could impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.We now have, and will continue to have, significant debt obligations. In October 2013, we entered into the Cinedigm Credit Agreement pursuant to which weborrowed Term Loans in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million and had the ability to borrow revolving loans and have letters of credit issued in an aggregateamount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $30.0 million. In April 2015, we repaid and terminated the term loan in its entirety, and in May 2016, wereduced the capacity of the revolving loans to $22.0 million and in July 2016, we further reduced the borrowing capacity of such loans to $19.8 million. Theobligations under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, are with full recourse to Cinedigm. As of March 31, 2017, principal amountoutstanding under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement was $19.6 million. Additionally, in October 2013, we issued $5.0 million aggregate principal amount ofsubordinated notes (the “2013 Notes”), which debt is unsecured and subordinate to the debt under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement. In April 2015, we issued$64.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Convertible Notes”), of which $50.6 million is outstanding as ofMarch 31, 2017. The Convertible Notes are unsecured and subordinate to the debt under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement and senior to the 2013 Notes. InJuly, September and October 2016 and January and February 2017, we issued $9.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% Second Secured Lien Notesdue 2019 (the “Second Secured Lien Notes,” which debt is secured on a second lien basis and is subordinate to the debt under the Cinedigm CreditAgreement, pari passu (other than as to the collateral) with the Convertible Notes and senior to the 2013 Notes.As of March 31, 2017, total indebtedness of our consolidated subsidiaries (not including guarantees of our debt) was $63.8 million, none of which isguaranteed by Cinedigm Corp. or our subsidiaries, other than CDF I with respect to the Phase I Credit Agreement, DC Holdings LLC, AccessDM and ADCP2with respect to the Prospect Loan, and Phase 2 B/AIX with respect to the KBC Agreements. In connection with the Prospect Loan, we provided a limitedrecourse guaranty pursuant to which Cinedigm guaranteed certain representations and warranties and performance obligations with respect to the ProspectLoan in favor of the collateral agent and the administrative agent for the Prospect Loan. Cinedigm Corp. has provided a limited recourse guaranty in respectof a portion of this indebtedness ($54.7 million as of March 31, 2017) pursuant to which it agreed to become a primary obligor of such indebtedness incertain specified circumstances, none of which have occurred as of the date hereof.We also had capital lease obligations covering a facility and computer equipment with an aggregate principal amount of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2017.On October 28, 2016, we entered into an agreement to fully terminate our lease obligation on the Pavilion Theater, a facility that was accounted for as acapital lease and for which we were considered the primary obligor. Contemporaneously, we also terminated a sublease agreement that we had with the tenantof the Pavilion Theater.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 andrestated the Phase I Credit Agreement, pursuant to which it borrowed $130.0 million of which $5.0 million was assigned to DC Holding LLC. As of March 31,2017, the outstanding principal amount of the Prospect Loan was $54.7 million. In November 2016, the Phase I Credit Agreement was repaid in full, andaccordingly no amount remains outstanding as of March 31, 2017. Phase 2 B/AIX, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into the KBCAgreements pursuant to which it has borrowed $65.3 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding principal balance under the KBCAgreements was $8.6 million in the aggregate.The obligations and restrictions under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement, the Prospect Loan, the KBC Agreements and our other debt obligations could haveimportant 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 ourcash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements or expansion of our business.9CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings are our indirect wholly owned, non-consolidated VIEs that are intended to be special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities. CDF2has entered into the Phase II Credit Agreement, pursuant to which it borrowed $63.2 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balanceunder the Phase II Credit Agreement, which includes interest payable, was $22.0 million. CDF2 Holdings has entered into the CHG Lease pursuant to whichCHG provided sale/leaseback financing for digital cinema projection systems that were partially financed by the Phase II Credit Agreement in an amount ofapproximately $57.2 million in the aggregate. These facilities are non-recourse to Cinedigm and our subsidiaries, excluding our VIE, CDF2 and CDF2Holdings, as the case may be. Although the Phase II financing arrangements undertaken by CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings are important to us with respect to thesuccess of our Phase II Deployment, our financial exposure related to the debt of CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings is limited to the $2.0 million initial investment itmade into CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings. CDF2 Holding’s total stockholder’s deficit at March 31, 2017 was $18.7 million. We have no obligation to fund theoperating loss or the deficit beyond its initial investment, and accordingly, we carried our investment in CDF2 Holdings at $0 as of March 31, 2017 and2016.The obligations and restrictions under the Phase II Credit Agreement and the CHG Lease could have important consequences for CDF2 and CDF2 Holdings,including:•Limiting our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future; and•requiring them to dedicate a substantial portion of their cash flow to payments on their debt obligations, thereby reducing the availabilityof their cash flow for other uses.If we are unable to meet our lease and debt obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing orto sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. As a result, we could default on those obligations and in the event of such default,our lenders could accelerate our debt or take other actions that could restrict our operations.The foregoing risks would be intensified to the extent we borrow additional money or incur additional debt.The agreements governing the financing of our Phase I Deployment and part of our Phase II Deployment, the Cinedigm Credit Agreement and theProspect Loan impose certain limitations on us.The Cinedigm Credit Agreement restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the obligations under the Cinedigm CreditAgreement, 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.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 otherthings:•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; and10•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 restrictsthe ability of CDF2, CDF2 Holdings and their 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.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, willdepend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is in part subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory andother factors that are beyond our control.Based on our current level of operations and in conjunction with the cost reduction measures that we have recently implemented and continue to implement,we believe our cash flow from operations, available borrowings and loan and credit agreement terms will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needsthrough at least March 31, 2018. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adversedevelopments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternativestrategy that may include actions such as:•reducing capital expenditures;•reducing our overhead costs and/or workforce;•reducing research and development efforts;•selling assets;•restructuring or refinancing our remaining indebtedness; and•seeking additional funding.We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will be able to make future borrowings inamounts 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 refinanceall 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 commerciallyreasonable 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 ofMarch 31, 2017, we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $15.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents andrestricted cash totaling $13.6 million; we have total stockholders' deficit of $70.7 million; however, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, wegenerated $31.7 million of net cash flows from operating activities.Our net losses and cash outflows may increase as and to the extent that we increase the size of our business operations, increase our sales and marketingactivities, increase our content distribution rights acquisition activities, enlarge our customer support and professional services and acquire additionalbusinesses. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate which could further increase our losses. We must continue to increaseour revenues in order to become profitable. We cannot11reliably 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 operatingincome 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 principalstockholders more than our other stockholders.As of March 31, 2017, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, those known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstandingshares of the Class A common stock, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 51.3% of our outstanding Class A commonstock. In particular, Chris McGurk, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, owns 510,740 shares of Class A common stock and has stock options topurchase 600,000 shares of Class A common stock, all of which are vested. If all the options were exercised, Mr. McGurk would own 1,110,740 shares orapproximately 8.9% of the then-outstanding Class A common stock. In addition, Ronald L. Chez, a former director and a current strategic advisor to theBoard, owns 1,362,171 shares of Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 297,500 shares of Class A common stock. If such warrants were exercised,Mr. Chez would own 1,659,671 shares or approximately 13.7% of the Class A common stock.These stockholders may have significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control matters requiring approval by our security holders,including elections of directors and approvals of mergers or other business combinations. In addition, certain corporate actions directed by our officers maynot necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of our other stockholders.Our success will significantly depend on our ability to hire and retain key personnel.Our success will depend in significant part upon the continued performance of our senior management personnel and other key technical, sales and creativepersonnel. We do not currently have significant “key person” life insurance policies for any of our employees. We currently have employment agreementswith our chief executive officer. If we lose one or more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement(s) and our business andresults of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, competition for key employees necessary to create and distribute our entertainment content andsoftware 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 newemployees and our inability to do so may have an adverse impact upon our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects forgrowth.If we do not respond to future changes in technology and customer demands, our financial position, prospects and results of operations may be adverselyaffected.The demand for our Systems and other assets in connection with our digital cinema business (collectively, our “Digital Cinema Assets”) may be affected byfuture 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 majormotion picture studios and independent studios (the “Studio Agreements”), there can be no assurance that these studios will continue to distribute digitalcontent to movie theatres. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not continue or technology isused 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 Systemsand related products resulting from the development and deployment of new technology may negatively impact our revenues and the value of our Systems.The demand for DVD products is declining, and we anticipate that this decline will continue. We anticipate, however, that the distribution of DVD productswill continue to generate positive cash flows for the Company for the foreseeable future. Should a decline in consumer demand be greater than we anticipate,our business could be adversely affected.We have concentration in our digital cinema business with respect to our major motion picture studio customers, and the loss of one or more of our largeststudio 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 58%, 64%, and21% of Phase 1 DC’s, Phase 2 DC’s and our consolidated revenues, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.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 beunenforceable, 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 adverseeffect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows. The Studio Agreements also generally provide that the VPF rates and other materialterms of the agreements may not be more favorable to one studio as compared to the others.12Termination 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 forsuccessive one-year periods up to ten years thereafter. The MLAs also require our suppliers to upgrade our Systems when technology necessary forcompliance with DCI Specification becomes commercially available and we may determine to enhance the Systems, which may require additional capitalexpenditures. 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 Systemsare 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 amaterial 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 thisexhibitor 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 anyassociated MLAs. Although we do not receive revenues from licensed exhibitors and we have attempted to limit our licenses to only those theatres, which webelieve are successful, each MLA with our licensed exhibitors is important, depending on the number of screens, to our business since VPF revenues aregenerated 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 materialadverse effect on our revenue, profitability, financial condition and cash flows. There can be no guarantee that the MLAs with our licensed exhibitors will notbe terminated prior to the end of its term.An increase in the use of alternative movie distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance,which, if causing significant theatre closures or a substantial decline in motion picture production, may lead to reductions in our revenues.Various exhibitor chains, which are our distributors, face competition for patrons from a number of alternative motion picture distribution channels, such asDVD, network and syndicated television, VOD, pay-per-view television and downloading utilizing the Internet. These exhibitor chains also compete withother forms of entertainment competing for patrons’ leisure time and disposable income such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events. An increasein popularity of these alternative movie distribution channels and competing forms of entertainment could drive down movie theatre attendance andpotentially cause certain of our exhibitors to close their theatres for extended periods of time. Significant theatre closures could in turn have a negativeimpact 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 studioscould 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 arecritical 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 televisionindustry involves a substantial degree of risk. Each movie and television program is an individual artistic work, and inherently unpredictable audiencereactions primarily determine commercial success. Generally, the popularity of movies and television programs depends on many factors, including thecritical 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 theirspecific subject matter. The commercial success of movies and television programs also depends upon the quality and acceptance of movies or programs thatour competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisureactivities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and all of which may change. We cannotpredict the future effects of these factors with certainty, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operatingresults, liquidity and prospects. In addition, because a movie’s or television program’s performance in ancillary markets, such as home video and pay and freetelevision, is often directly related to its box office performance or television ratings, poor box office results or poor television ratings may negatively affectfuture revenue streams. Our success will depend on the experience and judgment of our management to select and develop new content acquisition andinvestment opportunities. We cannot make assurances that movies and television programs will obtain favorable reviews or ratings, will perform well at thebox office or in ancillary markets or that broadcasters will license the rights13to broadcast any of our television programs in development or renew licenses to broadcast programs in our library. The failure to achieve any of the foregoingcould 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 notcovered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results,liquidity and prospects.Our revenues and earnings are subject to market downturns.Our revenues and earnings may fluctuate significantly in the future. General economic or other conditions could cause lower than expected revenues andearnings within our digital cinema, technology or content and entertainment businesses. The global economic turmoil of recent years has caused a generaltightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, an unprecedented level of intervention from theU.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 otherregions of the world in which we do business could adversely affect demand for our movies, thus reducing our revenue and earnings. While stabilization hascontinued, it remains a slow process and the global economy remains subject to volatility. Moreover, financial institution failures may cause us to incurincreased expenses or make it more difficult either to financing of any future acquisitions, or financing activities. Any of these factors could have a materialadverse effect on our business, results of operations and could result in significant additional dilution to shareholders.Changes in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.Our operations and performance could be influenced by worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions poses a riskas consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values, whichcould have a material negative effect on the demand for the our products and services. Other factors that could influence demand include continuingincreases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumerconfidence, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer-spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effecton demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions couldalso continue to increase the volatility of our stock price.Changes to existing accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices may affect how we conduct our business and affect our reported results ofoperations.New accounting pronouncements or tax rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements or taxation practice have occurred and may occur inthe future. A change in accounting pronouncements or interpretations or taxation rules or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results andmay 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.We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to a forward stock purchase transaction.The forward counterparty to the forward stock purchase transaction that we are party to is one of the lenders under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement, and weare subject to the risk that it might default under the forward stock purchase transaction. Our exposure to the credit risk of the forward counterparty will not besecured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have in the recent14past resulted in, and may again result in, the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If the forward counterpartybecomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings, with a claim equal to our exposure at that time underour transaction with that counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increasein the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, upon default by the forward counterparty, we may suffer more dilution than we currentlyanticipate with respect to our Class A common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the forward counterparty to theforward stock purchase transaction.Risks Related to our Class A Common StockThe liquidity of the Class A common stock is uncertain; the limited trading volume of the Class A common stock may depress the price of such stock orcause it to fluctuate significantly.Although the Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq, there has been a limited public market for the Class A common stock and there can be no assurancethat a more active trading market for the Common Stock will develop. As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares of Class A common stock in shorttime periods, or possibly at all. The absence of an active trading market may cause the price per share of the Class A common stock to fluctuate significantly.Substantial resales or future issuances of our Class A common stock could depress our stock price.The market price for the Class A common stock could decline, perhaps significantly, as a result of resales or issuances of a large number of shares of the ClassA common stock in the public market or even the perception that such resales or issuances could occur, including resales of the shares being registeredhereunder pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part. In addition, we have outstanding a substantial number ofoptions, warrants and other securities convertible into shares of Class A common stock that may be exercised in the future. Certain holders of our securities,including with respect to shares of Class A common stock issuable in exchange for warrants, have demand and piggy-back registration rights. These factorscould also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our equity securities.You will incur substantial dilution as a result of certain future equity issuances.We have a substantial number of options, warrants and other securities currently outstanding which may be immediately exercised or converted into shares ofClass A common stock. To the extent that these options, warrants or similar securities are exercised or converted, or to the extent we issue additional shares ofClass A common stock in the future, as the case may be, there will be further dilution to holders of shares of the Class A common stock.Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of Class A common stock.Our board of directors is authorized to issue series of preferred stock without any action on the part of our holders of Class A common stock. Our board ofdirectors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any such series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights,dividend rights, preferences over our Class A common stock with respect to dividends or if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our business and other terms. Ifwe issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our Class A common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon our liquidation,dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our Class A common stock, the rights of holders ofour Class A common stock or the price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.The acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation, which are intended to help preserve our net operating losses, may not be effectiveor 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, asamended (“Section 382”), and rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, we may “carry forward” these net operating losses (“NOLs”) in certaincircumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce our federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. Tothe 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 thereforethese 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 substantiallylimited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset.To reduce the likelihood of an ownership change, we have established acquisition restrictions in our certificate of incorporation. The acquisition restrictionsin our certificate of incorporation are intended to restrict certain acquisitions of the Class A common15stock to help preserve our ability to utilize our NOLs by avoiding the limitations imposed by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations. Theacquisition restrictions are generally designed to restrict or deter direct and indirect acquisitions of the Class A common stock if such acquisition wouldresult in a shareholder becoming a “5-percent shareholder” (as defined by Section 382 and the related Treasury regulations) or increase the percentageownership 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 assurancethat 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 maybe subject to challenge on equitable grounds. In particular, it is possible that the acquisition restrictions may not be enforceable against the shareholders whovoted 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 our best interest to exempt certain 5-percent shareholders from the operation of the acquisitionrestrictions, if a proposed transaction is determined not to be detrimental to the utilization of our 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 Section382, 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 currentmanagement. Additionally, because the acquisition restrictions have the effect of restricting a stockholder’s ability to dispose of or acquire the Class Acommon 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 todetermine whether their ownership of the Class A common stock approaches the proscribed level.The occurrence of various events may adversely affect our ability to fully utilize NOLs.We have 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 andgains. 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 thecorporation owned by such shareholders at any time during the three-year period preceding such date. In general, persons who own 5% or more of acorporation’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, publicgroup 5-percent shareholder, regardless of whether they own an aggregate of 5% or more of a corporation’s stock. If a corporation experiences an ownershipchange, 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 corporationmultiplied 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 otherwisehave had and it may also result in certain other adverse consequences to us. Therefore, we have adopted the acquisition restrictions set forth in Article Fourthof our certificate of incorporation in order to reduce the likelihood that we will experience an ownership change under Section 382. There can be noassurance, however, that these efforts will deter or prevent the occurrence of an ownership change and the adverse consequences that may arise therefrom, asdescribed above under the risk factor titled “The acquisition restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation, which are intended to help preserve ournet operating losses, may not be effective or may have unintended negative effects.”Our stock price has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future; this volatility may affect the price at which you could sell our Class Acommon stock.The trading price of the Class A common stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in response to various factors, some of which are beyondour control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on an investment in the Class A common stock:•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar tous;•changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;•success of competitors;16•our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;•changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us, the market for digital and physical content,content distribution and entertainment in general;•operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;•our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business or our industry;•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us;•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;•the volume of shares of the Class A common stock available for public sale;•any major change in our board of directors or management;•sales of substantial amounts of Class A common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception thatsuch sales could occur; and•general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of the Class A common stock irrespective of our operating performance. The stockmarket in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to theoperating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of the Class A common stock, may not bepredictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to us coulddepress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of the Class Acommon stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.Our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventingchanges in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:•a restriction on certain acquisitions of our common stock to help preserve our ability to utilize our significant NOLs by avoiding thelimitations imposed by Section 382 of the Code;•no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;•the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or theresignation, death, or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;•the ability of our board of directors to determine to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares,including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of ahostile acquirer;•the requirement that an annual meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of ourstockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;•limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;•controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings; and•providing that directors may be removed prior to the expiration of their terms by the Board of Directors only for cause.These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our management.As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holdingmore than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of ouroutstanding common stock. Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a changein control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price thatsome investors are willing to pay for the Class A common stock.We have no present intention of paying dividends on our Class A common stock.17We have never paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock and have no present plans to do so. As a result, you may not receive any return on aninvestment in our Class A common stock unless you sell the shares for a price greater than that which you paid for them18ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSThe following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes includedelsewhere in this document.This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs,intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,”“estimates,“ and similar words. Forward-looking statements represent, as of the date of this report, our judgment relating to, among other things, future resultsof operations, growth plans, sales, capital requirements and general industry and business conditions applicable to us. These forward-looking statements arenot guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control that couldcause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. OVERVIEWSince our inception, we have played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition toour pioneering role in transitioning over 12,000 movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution, we have become a leadingdistributor of independent content, both through organic growth and acquisitions. We distribute products for major brands such as the Discovery Networks,National Geographic and Scholastic, as well as leading international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other shortform digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality contentto targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to, iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix,Hulu, Xbox, PlayStation, and cable video-on-demand ("VOD"), and (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digitalcinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment group (“Content &Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for ourdigital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segmentprovides fee based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and otherthird party customers in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is a market leader in: (1)ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and; (2) branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital network business providingentertainment channels and applications.Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certaindistributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deploymentinstallation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31,2017, 2,467 of the systems in our Phase I Deployment segment had ceased to earn a significant portion VPF revenue from certain major studios, representingapproximately 66% of the total Systems in our Phase I Deployment. By December 2017, we expect that nearly all of our Phase I Deployment24systems will no longer earn VPF revenue from certain major studios. We expect to continue to earn ancillary revenue from the Phase I Deployment Systemsthrough December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financial statements. The expectedreduction in VPF revenue on our Phase I Deployment systems is scheduled to approximately coincide with the conclusion of certain of our non-recourse debtobligations and, therefore, we expect that reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations will partially offset reduced VPF revenue afterNovember 2017.Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchasethe Systems from us at fair-market-value.We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, the Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operatesindependently from our Content & Entertainment segment. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $63.8 million of outstanding debt principal thatrelates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business and is non-recourse to us. We also had approximately $84.3 million of outstanding debt principalthat is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.LiquidityWe have incurred consolidated net losses of $15.2 million and $42.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We have anaccumulated deficit of $360.4 million as of March 31, 2017. In addition, we have significant debt related contractual obligations for the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2018 and beyond.We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and restricted cash balances at March 31, 2017, (ii) implemented and planned cost reduction initiatives, and (iii)the availability of debt financing secured in the current fiscal year, and (iv) expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity andcapital requirements for at least a year after these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. Our capital requirements will depend on manyfactors, and we may need to use available capital resources and raise additional capital. We have entered into a transaction with a strategic partner (See Note12 - Subsequent Events to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8) that will satisfy the Company’s future contractual obligations, liquidityand cash flow needs. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on ourfinancial position, results of operations and liquidity. Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesOur consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Inconnection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments thataffect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments onhistorical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared.On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presentedfairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from ourassumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that the following accountingpolicies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management's most difficult,subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management hasreviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTProperty and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line methodover the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:25Computer equipment and software3-5 yearsDigital cinema projection systems10 yearsMachinery and equipment3-10 yearsFurniture and fixtures3-6 yearsLeasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repair costsare 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, 2017 and2016, we have neither made any revisions to estimated useful lives, nor recorded any impairment charges on our property and equipment.FAIR VALUE ESTIMATESGoodwill and Intangible and Long-Lived AssetsWe evaluate our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year (as of March 31), or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethe fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The determination of whether or not goodwill has become impaired involves a significant levelof judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting units. Inherent in the fair value determination for eachreporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management's interpretation of current economic indicators andmarket conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to our operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditionschange or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwillimpairment charges that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.When testing goodwill for impairment we are permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill is impaired, or choose to bypass the qualitativeassessment, and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test. If we perform a qualitative assessment and conclude it is morelikely 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 isunnecessary. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are then required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test.We did not record goodwill impairment in connection with our annual testing in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2017. In determining fair value we usedvarious assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections or forecasts derived from analysis of business prospects, economic ormarket trends and any regulatory changes that may occur. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a net present value methodology, which isdependent on significant assumptions related to estimated future discounted cash flows, discount rates and tax rates. Certain of the estimates and assumptionsthat we used in determining the value of our CEG reporting unit are discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Item 8 - FinancialStatements and Supplementary Data of this Report on Form 10-K.During the year ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $18.0 million. The goodwill impairment recorded in fiscal year 2016was primarily a result of reduced expectations of future cash flows to be generated by our CEG reporting unit, reflecting the continuing decline in consumerdemand for packaged goods in favor of films in downloadable form and slower than expected growth in our OTT channel business.We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairmentexists. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates andassumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur,their amount and the asset's residual value, if any. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the totalcarrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whetheran impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset's fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fairvalue is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.Stock-based Compensation26Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period.Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in estimating expected stock volatility and the amount of stock-basedawards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results ofoperations could be materially affected.REVENUE RECOGNITIONPhase I Deployment and Phase II DeploymentVirtual print fees (“VPFs”) are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by astudio to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2 DC when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movietheatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC and CDF I based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year(calendar year 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year until the VPFs phase out. One VPF is payable for every digitaltitle displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in any givenaccounting period. VPF revenue is recognized in the period in which the digital title first plays on a System for general audience viewing in a digitallyequipped 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 isinstalled; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, isachieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows,including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximumagreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, thestudios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of costrecoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement ofcost recoupment. Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will have reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject toearlier achievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems.Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end byDecember 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.Alternative content fees (“ACFs”) are earned pursuant to contracts with movie exhibitors, whereby amounts are payable to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2DC, 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 featuremovies, such as concerts and sporting events (typically referred to as “alternative content”). ACF revenue is recognized in the period in which the alternativecontent first opens for audience viewing.Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.ServicesExhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and readyfor content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation feerevenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party, (See Note 4 -Other Interests) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services segment manages and collects VPFs on behalfof exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.Our Services segment earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of theVPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is recognized in the period in which the billing of VPFs occurs, as performance obligations have beensubstantially met at that time.Content & Entertainment27CEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, VOD, and physicalgoods (e.g. DVD and Blu-ray Discs). Fees earned are typically based on the gross amounts billed to our customers less the amounts owed to the media studiosor content producers under distribution agreements, and gross media sales of owned or licensed content. Depending upon the nature of the agreements withthe platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. Generally, revenues are recognized when content is available for subscription on thedigital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services. Reserves for sales returns and otherallowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowancesmay be required. Sales returns and allowances are reported as a reduction of revenues.CEG also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature movies and alternative content. CEG’s distribution fee revenue and CEG'sparticipation in box office receipts is recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. CEG has the right to receive or bill a portionof 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 allrelated 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 areclassified as deferred revenue and are recognized as earned revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policies described above.In connection with revenue recognition for CEG, the following are also considered critical accounting policies:AdvancesAdvances, which are recorded within prepaid and other current assets within the consolidated balance sheets, represent amounts prepaid to studios or contentproducers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record impairment charges for amountsthat we expect may not be recoverable as of the consolidated balance sheet date.Participations and royalties payableWhen we use third parties to distribute company owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor underrevenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or contentproducers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to usby such studios or content producers.28Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016Revenues For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016 $ Change % ChangePhase I Deployment$32,068 $36,488 $(4,420) (12.1)%Phase II Deployment12,538 12,257 281 2.3 %Services11,611 11,782 (171) (1.5)%Content & Entertainment34,177 43,922 (9,745) (22.2)% $90,394 $104,449 $(14,055) (13.5)%Decreased revenues in our combined Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses reflects a reduced number of Phase I Systems earning revenue compared tothe prior year period. Since December of 2015, 2,467 of our Phase I Systems have reached the end of their deployment agreement periods and, therefore, haveceased to earn VPF revenues from certain major studios. The number of theatres as of March 31, 2017 represents 66% of the total Systems in our Phase IDeployment. The remainder of our Phase I Systems will cease to earn VPF revenues from certain major studios in our fiscal year ending Mach 31, 2018. Thenumber of titles released on our Phase I and Phase II Systems in the 2017 fiscal year was slightly higher compared the prior period. While each year-to-dateperiod reflects a similar number of blockbuster titles released on our Systems, the current period reflects 107 total titles released, compared to 101 titles in theprior period.Revenue generated by our Services segment decreased primarily as a result of the lower VPF revenues earned by our Phase I Deployment business. OurServices segment earns commissions on VPF revenue generated by the Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments and therefore we expect this segment'srevenues to continue to decrease in proportion to the revenues generated by our Phase I business as a result of reduced VPF revenues.Revenues at our Content & Entertainment segment decreased due to lower overall sales and distribution volumes for physical product and a change in themix of content sold. Our traditional DVD and Blu-ray business continues to be negatively impacted by changing consumer behaviors in favor of content thatis digitally downloaded. Our product mix shifted significantly toward licensed content in the current period, which earns lower fees than our owned content.The decline in physical product sales was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in sales related to OTT content. However, we continued to see industryleaders focusing much of their capital on their own original productions, rather than acquiring third-party OTT content. We continued to shift our strategytoward developing and marketing a portfolio of narrowcast OTT channels that can be sold digitally. At the end of fiscal year 2015, we launched CONtv incooperation with Wizard World, Inc., and in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 we launched the Dove Channel, which targets families and kids seekinghigh quality and family friendly content approved by the Dove Foundation.Direct Operating Expenses For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016 $ Change % ChangePhase I Deployment$1,052 $1,108 $(56) (5.1)%Phase II Deployment388 315 73 23.2 %Services10 10 — — %Content & Entertainment23,671 29,908 (6,237) (20.9)% $25,121 $31,341 $(6,220) (19.8)%Direct operating expenses decreased in the year ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year, primarily resulted from a corresponding decrease inrevenue in our CEG business. In addition, direct operating expenses in the prior period included higher third party distribution costs and higher OTTplatform and content distribution costs. The current period also reflects reduced costs related to theatrical releasing, marketing and content acquisitions costsas we intentionally focused more on developing OTT channel entertainment in the 2017 fiscal year and less on theatrical film releases, as we had in the prioryear.Selling, General and Administrative Expenses29 For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016 $ Change % ChangePhase I Deployment$544 $661 $(117) (17.7)%Phase II Deployment228 121 107 88.4 %Services798 914 (116) (12.7)%Content & Entertainment15,812 20,659 (4,847) (23.5)%Corporate6,394 11,012 (4,618) (41.9)% $23,776 $33,367 $(9,591) (28.7)%Since the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we have been implementing certain restructuring initiatives to reduce our overall level ofselling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, such expenses, particularly those in our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments, havedecreased substantially compared to the prior period. Compared to the prior year-to-date period, we reduced expenses across a substantial portion of the itemsthat we classify as selling, general and administrative expenses, including wages, consulting and other professional fees and marketing. As a result of ourworkforce reduction, employee and related costs decreased $6.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Consulting, professional fees,marketing expenses and other fees decreased $3.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year.Restructuring ExpensesIn the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded restructuring, transition and acquisition expenses, net, of $0.1 million and $1.1 million,respectively, related to a workforce reduction and restructuring initiative within our Content & Entertainment and Corporate reporting segments.Goodwill ImpairmentNo goodwill impairment was recorded in the year ended March 31, 2017. In the year ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of$18.0 million. We reassessed the fair value of our CEG reporting unit in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 because the reporting unit continued to performbelow the expectations that we established at the end of the prior fiscal year.Litigation recovery, net of expensesNo litigation recoveries were recorded in the year ended March 31, 2017. In the year ended March 31, 2016, we recorded litigation recovery, net of expenses,of $2.2 million. The recovery in fiscal 2016 resulted from from a dispute related to a 2013 business acquisition.Depreciation and Amortization Expense on Property and Equipment For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016 $ Change % ChangePhase I Deployment$19,263 $28,446 $(9,183) (32.3)%Phase II Deployment7,523 7,523 — — %Content & Entertainment273 330 (57) (17.3)%Corporate663 1,045 (382) (36.6)% $27,722 $37,344 $(9,622) (25.8)%Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily in our Phase I Deployment segment as several of our digital cinema projection systems reachedthe conclusion of their useful ten year lives through March 31, 2017. The remainder of the Systems will reach the end of their useful lives in fiscal year 2018,therefore, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to continue to decrease.Depreciation expense at Corporate decreased primarily because we terminated our capital lease agreement on the Pavilion Theater and wrote off the relatedasset in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. We recorded a $2.5 million gain in connection with terminating the Pavilion capital lease.Interest expense, net30 For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016 $ Change % ChangePhase I Deployment$10,154 $12,217 $(2,063) (16.9)%Phase II Deployment1,034 1,251 (217) (17.3)%Corporate7,807 7,092 715 10.1 % $18,995 $20,560 $(1,565) (7.6)%Interest expense reported by our Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments decreased primarily as a result of reduced debt balances, the payoff of the 2013Term Loans and the payoff of one of our KBC facilities. We expect interest expense related to the KBC Facilities to continue to decrease due to the pay-downof such balances.In connection with the payment of the 2013 Term Loans, we wrote-off debt issuance costs and debt discounts and as a result, recognized a loss onextinguishment of debt of $0.7 million.We issued $9.0 million of Second Secured Lien Notes in the year ended March 31, 2017 and as a result, interest expense at Corporate, including amortizationof debt issuance costs, increased compared to the prior year. The increase in interest expense related to the Second Secured Lien Notes was partially offset bya $13.4 million reduction in the balance of our Convertible Notes, which resulted from a series of Convertible Notes exchange transactions, whereby weexchanged such balance of Convertible notes for 1,575,000 shares of Class A common stock (including 277,244 shares re-issued from treasury), warrants topurchase 200,000 shares of Class A common stock and $3.5 million of Second Secured Lien Notes.In connection with the Convertible Notes exchange transactions, we recorded debt conversion expense of $4.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2017.Income Tax ExpenseWe recorded income tax expense from operations of $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2017 and $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2016,primarily related to our Phase I Deployment business. Income tax expense was mainly related to taxable income at the state level and timing differencesrelated to fixed asset depreciation.Adjusted EBITDAWe define Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses,merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.Adjusted EBITDA (including the results of Phase I and Phase II Deployments segments) was comparable to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA from our non-deployment businesses was $1.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2017, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.4 million for the year endedMarch 31, 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior period primarily reflects lower operating expenses in our Content & Entertainmentbusiness and Corporate due to the restructuring initiatives that we started in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 and completed in fiscal 2017.Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of othercompanies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it providesadditional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be usefulto others, including its stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net loss as an indicator of operating performance. We alsobelieve that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing ourperformance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because AdjustedEBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of ourongoing operating performance.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net loss and AdjustedEBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an31alternative to income from operations or net loss as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator ofcash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into accountchanges in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAPmeasures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only inconjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net loss to Adjusted EBITDA: For the Fiscal Year Ended March 31,($ in thousands) 2017 2016Net loss $(15,197) $(42,509)Add Back: Income tax expense 252 345Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment 27,722 37,344Amortization of intangible assets 5,718 5,852Gain on termination of capital lease (2,535) —Interest expense, net 18,995 20,560Loss on extinguishment of debt 1,063 931Debt conversion expense 4,352 —Other income, net 40 (513)Change in fair value of interest rate derivatives (142) 40Provision for doubtful accounts 1,213 789Stock-based compensation and expenses 1,726 1,832Goodwill impairment — 18,000Restructuring, transition and acquisition expenses, net 87 1,130Professional fees pertaining to activist shareholder proposalsand compliance — 816Litigation recovery, net of expenses — (2,228)Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest 68 767Adjusted EBITDA $43,362 $43,156 Adjustments related to the Phase I and Phase II Deployments: Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment $(26,786) $(35,969)Amortization of intangible assets (46) (46)Provision for doubtful accounts (946) (339)Restructuring, acquisitions and transition expenses — — Income from operations (14,616) (10,186)Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment businesses $968 $(3,384) 32Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for asingle five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enableusers to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to useeither a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. The guidance will be effective during our fiscal yearending March 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on ourconsolidated financial statements.In August 2014, the FASB amended accounting guidance pertaining to going concern considerations by company management. The amendments in thisupdate state that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity's management should evaluatewhether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date thatthe financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). This standardwas adopted for the year ended March 31, 2017.In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires an entity to measure inventory balances at the lower of cost and net realizablevalue. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, andtransportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update areeffective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. This guidance was effective for theCompany for the year ended March 31, 2017 and did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance with respect to Business Combinations. The new guidance requires the acquirer in a BusinessCombination to recognize provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amountsare determined. The new guidance is effective for public entities for which fiscal years begin after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within the fiscalyears beginning after December 31, 2017. The accounting standard must be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after theeffective date, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financialstatements.In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the balance sheet classification of income taxes. The standard requires that deferred tax assetsand liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The standard is effective for fiscalyears, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied eitherretrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. We do not believe the adoption of the new financial instruments standardwill have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to financial instruments, which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation anddisclosure of financial instruments. The standard will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our 2019 fiscal year and early adoption is not permitted.We do not believe the adoption of the new financial instruments standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases. The new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on thistopic. The new standard, amongst other things, requires a lessee to classify a lease as either a finance or operating lease in which lessees will need torecognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for their leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based onthe liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in afront-loaded expense pattern. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. The standard iseffective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standardmust be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparativeperiod presented. We are evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance in an effort to simplify accounting for share-based payments. The new standard, amongst other things: •will require that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the statement33of operations and that the tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur;•will require excess tax benefits from share-based payments to be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows; and•permits an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate, as currentlyrequired, or account for forfeitures when they occur. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the impact of this newaccounting guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. Thisstandard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective forfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unlessimpracticable. If impracticable, we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. We are currently evaluating theimpact this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interest Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control,which alters how a decision maker needs to consider indirect interest in a VIE held through an entity under common control. ASU 2016-17 is effective forpublic business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As a result, this accountingguidance will become effective for in our first quarter of fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating theimpact this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesWe have incurred net losses each year since we commenced our operations. Since our inception, we have financed our operations substantially through theprivate placement of shares of our common and preferred stock, the issuance of promissory notes, our initial public offering and subsequent private andpublic offerings, notes payable and common stock used to fund various acquisitions.We may continue to generate net losses in the future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on notes payable, marketing and promotionalactivities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing and promotional activities,could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by our debt agreements may limit our ability to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy ourdebt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our existing debt obligations. The Prospect Loan requirescertain screen turn performance from certain of our Phase I and Phase II subsidiaries. While such restrictions may reduce the availability of our cash flow tofund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements, we do not have similar restrictions imposed upon our CEG businesses. We mayseek to raise additional capital as necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have anadverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.We implemented cost reduction plans during fiscal years 2016 and 2017, which have achieved savings through personnel reductions, changes to occupancycosts and other related expenses.Our business is primarily driven by the growth in global demand for video entertainment content in all forms and, in particular, the shifting consumer demandfor content in digital forms within home and mobile devices as well as the maturing digital cinema marketplace. Our primary revenue drivers are expected tobe the increasing number of digitally equipped devices/screens and the demand for entertainment content in theatrical, home and mobile ancillary markets.According to the Motion Picture Association of America, there were approximately 43,500 domestic (United States and Canada) movie theatre screens andapproximately 165,000 screens worldwide, of which approximately 42,500 of the domestic screens were equipped with digital cinema technology, and morethan 12,000 of those screens contained our Systems. Historically, the number of digitally equipped screens in the marketplace has been a significantdeterminant of our potential revenue. Going forward, the expansion of our content business into ancillary distribution markets and digital distribution ofnarrowcast OTT content are expected to be the primary drivers of our revenues.Non-Recourse Indebtedness34Our Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses have historically been financed through a series of non-recourse loans. Certain of the subsidiaries that makeup our Phase I and Phase II Deployment businesses have pledged their assets as collateral for, and are liable with respect to, certain indebtedness for which theassets of our other subsidiaries generally are not. We have referred to this indebtedness as "non-recourse debt" because the recourse of the lenders is limited tothe assets of specific subsidiaries. Such indebtedness includes the Prospect Loan, the KBC Facilities, the 2013 Term Loans, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2Exhibitor Notes. The balance of our non-recourse debt, net of related debt issuance costs, as of March 31, 2017 was $54.7 million and $6.4 million for ourPhase I and Phase II Deployment segments, respectively, which matures as presented in the Contractual Obligations table below. We continue to expect cashflows from our Phase I and II deployment operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and contractual requirements that are linked to these operations.Revolving Credit AgreementThe Cinedigm Credit Agreement allows for us to borrow revolving loans of up to $19.8 million, subject to certain liquidity requirements. As of March 31,2017, $19.6 million of the revolving loans was drawn upon with $0.2 million available for borrowing. We generally use the revolving loans under theCinedigm Credit Agreement for working capital needs and to invest in entertainment content, and the loans are supported by the cash flows from our medialibrary. The revolving loans under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement bear interest at a Base Rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%, at our election, and matureson March 31, 2018.Convertible NotesIn April 2015, we issued $64.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible senior notes (the "Convertible Notes"), due April 15, 2035, unlessearlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The net proceeds from the note offering were approximately $60.9 million, after deducting the initial purchaser'sdiscount and estimated offering expenses payable. In connection with the closing of the offering, we used approximately $18.6 million of the net proceeds torepay borrowings under and terminate the term loan under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement. In addition, we used $11.4 million of the net proceeds to enterinto a forward stock purchase transaction to acquire approximately 1.2 million shares of our Class A common stock for settlement on or about the fifth yearanniversary of the issuance date of the Convertible Notes and approximately $2.7 million to repurchase approximately $0.3 million shares of our Class Acommon stock from certain purchasers of the Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions.During the third and fourth quarters of the year ended March 31, 2017, we entered into exchange agreements pursuant to which we agreed to issue 1,575,000shares of our Class A common stock (of which 277,244 shares were issued from treasury), par value $0.001 per share, warrants to purchase 200,000 shares ofCommon Stock and $3.5 million of Second Secured Lien Notes in exchange for $13.4 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The exchangednotes were immediately canceled. The warrants, which become exercisable six months after issuance, have a five-year term, an exercise price of $1.60 pershare, and customary anti-dilution provisions. As a result of the exchange transactions, the outstanding balance of the Convertible Notes as of March 31,2017 was $50.6 million.Other IndebtednessIn October 2013, we issued notes to certain investors in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the "2013 Notes") and warrants to purchase 150,000shares of Class A Common Stock to such investors. The principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Notes is due on October 21, 2018 and the notes bearinterest at 9.0% per annum, payable in quarterly installments.During the year ended March 31, 2017, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million under the Second Secured Loans ("Loan Agreements"),including $4.0 million borrowed from Ronald L. Chez, at the time a member of our Board of Directors, and $0.5 million borrowed from Christopher J.McGurk, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Loan Agreements mature in 2019 and bear interest at 12.75%, payable7.5% in cash and 5.25% in cash or in kind at our option. The Loan Agreements may be prepaid without premium or penalty and contain customarycovenants, representations and warranties. The obligations are guaranteed by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries. We have pledged substantiallyall of our assets, except those assets related to our digital cinema deployment business, to secure payment. We are permitted to issue additional notes in anaggregate amount of $5.9 million above our current level of borrowings.In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 5 - Notes Payable of Item 8 - Financial Statements, our debt obligations have instituted certain financial andliquidity covenants and capital requirements, and from time to time, we may need to use available capital resources and raise additional capital to satisfythese covenants and requirements.Our changes in cash flows were as follows:35 For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31,($ in thousands)2017 2016Net cash provided by operating activities$31,699 $25,504Net cash used in investing activities(486) (1,389)Net cash used in financing activities(44,128) (17,633)Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$(12,915) $6,482As of March 31, 2017, we had cash and restricted cash balances of $13.6 million.Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by income or loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation,amortization, bad debt provisions and stock-based compensation, offset by changes in working capital. We expect cash received from VPFs to continue todecrease through November 2017 as more Phase I Systems reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certain major studios. Changes inaccounts receivable from our studio customers largely impact cash flows from operating activities and vary based on the seasonality of movie releaseschedules by the major studios. Operating cash flows from CEG are typically higher during our third and fourth fiscal quarters, resulting from revenues earnedduring the holiday season, and lower in the following two quarters as we pay royalties on such revenues. In addition, we make advances on theatrical releasesand to certain home entertainment distribution clients, for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months. Timing andvolume of our trade accounts payable can also be a significant factor impacting cash flows from operations. Although our revenues decreased for the yearended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year, the restructuring initiatives that we instituted beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 substantiallyoffset the impact of reduced revenues on our cash flows from operations. We reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by $9.6 million comparedto the prior year and have undertaken initiatives to reduce cash operating expenses further in the future, including relocating our office from Century City,California to Sherman Oaks, California, which will reduce operating expenses by $0.7 million annually. We expect operating activities to continue to be apositive source of cash.Cash flows used in investing activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment.For the year ended March 31, 2017, cash flows used in financing activities primarily reflects payments of $55.4 million on our long-term debt arrangements,including the payoff of the 2013 Term Loans in the third fiscal quarter of 2017, and payments (net of borrowings) of $2.3 million on our revolving creditfacility. The payments on our long-term debt arrangements were offset by borrowings of $9.0 million in connection with our Second Secured Lien Notes.We have contractual obligations that primarily consist of term notes payable, credit facilities, and non-cancelable operating leases related to office space.The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of March 31, 2017:36 Payments DueContractual Obligations (in thousands)Total 2017 2018 &2019 2020 &2021 ThereafterLong-term recourse debt$77,197 $19,599 $7,027 $— $50,571Long-term non-recourse debt (1)70,943 6,056 10,231 54,656 —Capital lease obligations (3)66 66 — — —Debt-related obligations, principal$148,206 $25,721 $17,258 $54,656 $50,571 Interest on recourse debt (1)$58,597 $4,203 $12,673 $2,781 $38,940Interest on non-recourse debt (2)30,327 7,796 15,050 7,481 —Interest on capital leases (3)1 1 — — —Total interest$88,925 $12,000 $27,723 $10,262 $38,940Total debt-related obligations$237,131 $37,721 $44,981 $64,918 $89,511 Total non-recourse debt including interest$101,270 $13,852 $25,281 $62,137 $—Operating lease obligations$4,931 $1,048 $2,070 $1,813 $—(1)Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse, with respect to defaults, is limited to the value of the asset that is collateral for the debt.The Prospect Loan is not guaranteed by us or our other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and DC Holdings and the KBC Facilities are not guaranteed by us or ourother subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC.We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on our debt obligations, marketingand promotional activities and content acquisition and marketing costs. Certain of these costs, including costs of content acquisition, marketing andpromotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by the terms of our debt obligations may limit our ability to obtain financing,make it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our existing debtobligations. We feel we are adequately financed for at least the next twelve months, however we may need to raise additional capital for working capital asdeemed necessary. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on ourfinancial position, results of operations or liquidity.Subsequent EventsOn April 10, 2017, we entered into lease agreements for a new office facility at 45 West 36th Street, New York, New York, which will replace our currentfacility at 902 Broadway and coincide with the termination of such lease. The new agreements commence on July 1, 2017 and initially require minimummonthly lease payments of $33,250 with customary escalation clauses over the course of the contract, which terminates in April 2021.On June 29, 2017, the company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a strategic partner to sell 20,000,000 shares of Company’s Class A commonstock, par value $0.001 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $30,000,000, of which up to 400,000 shares may be sold to members ofmanagement instead of the strategic partner. The Company is also in advanced discussions with holders, representing approximately 99% by principalamount, of the Company’s outstanding 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2035 to exchange their notes into cash, other securities of the Company or acombination thereof in order to decrease the debt obligations of the Company. Upon the issuance of the Shares, the strategic partner will own a majority ofthe outstanding Common Stock and will be entitled to designate two (2) members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the size of which will be set at seven(7) members. As part of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has entered into an escrow agreement with the strategic partner where $15.0 million incash will be deposited with an escrow agent until the closing, assuming a condition is met. The final closing of this transaction is subject to customaryapprovals, including stockholder, lender and regulatory approvals and consummation of the convertible note exchanges.SeasonalityRevenues 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 duringthe summer and the winter holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of moviereleases 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 orany other37quarter. While CEG benefits from the winter holiday season, we believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, is becoming less pronouncedas the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.Off-balance sheet arrangementsWe 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 thetable of our significant contractual obligations, and CDF2 Holdings. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Consolidationand Note 4 - Other Interests to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report on Form 10-K, we hold a 100% equity interest inCDF2 Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, we are not theprimary beneficiary of the VIE.Impact of InflationThe 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 wouldnot have an adverse impact on our operating results.38ITEM 8.

The financial statements arethe 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 thatwe plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is notrequired to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internalcontrol over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing anopinion over the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our auditsprovide 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. andsubsidiaries as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America./s/ EisnerAmper LLPNew York, New YorkJune 29, 2017F-1CINEDIGM CORP.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS(In thousands, except for share and per share data) March 31, 2017 2016ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents$12,566 $25,481Accounts receivable, net53,608 52,898Inventory, net1,137 2,024Unbilled revenue5,655 5,570Prepaid and other current assets13,484 15,872Total current assets86,450 101,845Restricted cash1,000 8,983Property and equipment, net33,138 61,740Intangible assets, net20,227 25,940Goodwill8,701 8,701Debt issuance costs, net260 894Other long-term assets1,558 1,295Total assets$151,334 $209,398LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Current liabilities Accounts payable and accrued expenses$73,679 $68,517Current portion of notes payable, non-recourse6,056 29,074Current portion of notes payable19,599 —Current portion of capital leases66 341Current portion of deferred revenue2,461 2,901Total current liabilities101,861 100,833Notes payable, non-recourse, net of current portion and unamortized debt issuance costs of$2,701 and $4,577, respectively55,048 83,238Notes payable, net of current portion and unamortized debt issuance costs of $5,340 and$3,989, respectively59,396 86,938Capital leases, net of current portion— 3,884Deferred revenue, net of current portion5,324 7,532Other long-term liabilities408 —Total liabilities222,037 282,425Commitments and contingencies (see Note 7) Stockholders’ Deficit Preferred stock, 15,000,000 shares authorized;Series A 10% - $0.001 par value per share; 20 shares authorized; 7 shares issued andoutstanding at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

StatementsF-8CINEDIGM CORP.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1.NATURE OF OPERATIONSCinedigm Corp. ("Cinedigm," the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We are (i) a leadingdistributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles andepisodes released across digital, physical, theatrical, home and mobile entertainment platforms and (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets in over12,000 movie screens in both North America and several international countries.We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digitalcinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment group (“Content &Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for ourdigital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segmentprovides fee based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments, as well as directly to exhibitors andother third party customers, in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is focused on: (1)ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and; (2) a branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital network business,providing entertainment channels and applications.Beginning in December 2015, certain of our Phase I Deployment Systems began to reach the conclusion of their deployment payment period with certaindistributors and, therefore, VPF revenues ceased to be recognized on such Systems, related to such distributors. Furthermore, because the Phase I Deploymentinstallation period ended in November 2007, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase I Deployment Systems has ended. As of March 31,2017, 2,467 of the systems in our Phase I Deployment segment had ceased to earn a significant portion VPF revenue from these major studios, representingapproximately 66% of the total Systems in our Phase I deployment. By December 2017, we expect that nearly all of our Phase I Deployment systems will nolonger earn VPF revenue from certain major studios. We expect to continue to earn VPF revenue from other distributors and ancillary revenue from the Phase IDeployment Systems through December of 2020; however, such amounts are expected to be significantly less material to our consolidated financialstatements. The expected reduction in VPF revenue on our Phase I Deployment systems is scheduled to approximately coincide with the conclusion ofcertain of our non-recourse debt obligations and, therefore, we expect that reduced cash outflows related to such non-recourse debt obligations will partiallyoffset reduced VPF revenue after November 2017.Under the terms of our standard Phase I Deployment licensing agreements, exhibitors will continue to have the right to use our Systems through December2020, after which time, they have the option to: (1) return the Systems to us; (2) renew their license agreement for successive one-year terms; or (3) purchasethe Systems from us at fair-market-value.We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, the Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operatesindependently from our Content & Entertainment segment. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $63.8 million of outstanding debt principal thatrelates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business and is non-recourse to us. We also had approximately $84.3 million of outstanding debt principalthat is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments.LiquidityWe have incurred consolidated net losses of $15.2 million and $42.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We have anaccumulated deficit of $360.4 million as of March 31, 2017. In addition, we have significant debt related contractual obligations for the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2018 and beyond.We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and restricted cash balances at March 31, 2017, (ii) implemented and planned cost reduction initiatives, and (iii)the availability of debt financing secured in the current fiscal year, and (iv) expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity andcapital requirements for at least a year after these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. Our capital requirements will depend on manyfactors, and we may need to use available capital resources and raise additional capital. We have entered into a transaction with a strategic partner (See Note12) that will satisfy the Company’s future contractual obligations, liquidity and cash flow needs. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additionalcapital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. F-92.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATIONOur consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinedigm and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompanytransactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.Investments in which we do not have a controlling interest or are not the primary beneficiary, but have the ability to exert significant influence, areaccounted for under the equity method of accounting. Noncontrolling interests for which we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary areconsolidated and recorded as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. See Note 4 - Other Interests to the Consolidated Financial Statements for adiscussion of our noncontrolling interests.USE OF ESTIMATESThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of theconsolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the adequacy ofaccounts receivable reserves, return reserves, inventory reserves, recovery of advances, assessment of goodwill and intangible asset impairment and valuationallowances for income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSWe consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” We maintain bank accounts with majorbanks, which, from time to time, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of theinstitutions and believe that the risk of any loss is minimal.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEWe maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts,customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of thesereserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.Our Content & Entertainment segment recognizes accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at thetime that it recognizes revenue from a sale. We base the amount of the returns allowance and customer chargebacks upon historical experience and futureexpectations.We record accounts receivable, long-term in connection with activation fees that we earn from Systems deployments that have extended payment terms. Suchaccounts receivable are discounted to their present value at prevailing market rates. Accounts receivable, long-term are included in other long-term assets onthe Consolidated Balance Sheets.UNBILLED AND DEFERRED REVENUEUnbilled revenue represent amounts recognized as revenue for which invoices have not yet been sent to clients. Deferred revenue represents amounts billedor payments received for which revenue has not yet been earned.ADVANCESAdvances, which are recorded within prepaid and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent amounts prepaid to studios orcontent producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record impairment charges foramounts that we expect may not be recoverable as of the consolidated balance sheet date. We recorded impairments and accelerated amortization related toour advances of $3.6 million during fiscal year 2017 and $2.5 million during fiscal year 2016.INVENTORY, NETInventory consists of finished goods of Company owned physical DVD and Blu-ray Disc titles and is stated at the lower of cost (determined based onweighted average cost) or market. We identify inventory items to be written down for obsolescence basedF-10on their sales status and condition. We write down discontinued or slow moving inventories based on an estimate of the markdown to retail price needed tosell through our current stock level of the inventories.RESTRICTED CASHOur Prospect Loan requires that we maintain specified cash balances that are restricted to repayment of interest, as defined. See Note 5 - Notes Payable forinformation about our restricted cash balances.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTProperty and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line methodover the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:Computer equipment and software3 - 5 yearsDigital cinema projection systems10 yearsMachinery and equipment3 - 10 yearsFurniture and fixtures3 - 6 yearsLeasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repaircosts are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized. Upon the sale or other disposition of any property andequipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposal is included in theconsolidated statements of operations.ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIESDerivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in accumulatedother comprehensive loss (a component of stockholders' deficit) or in the consolidated statements of operations depending on whether the derivativequalifies for hedge accounting. We entered into an interest rate cap transaction during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 to limit our exposure to interestrates on the Prospect Loan, which matures March 31, 2018. We have not sought hedge accounting treatment for the interest rate cap and therefore, changes inits value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSThe fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors: •Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments•Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)•Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by markettransactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities: As of March 31, 2017(In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 TotalRestricted cash $1,000 $— $— $1,000 As of March 31, 2016(In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 TotalRestricted cash $8,983 $— $— $8,983Interest rate derivatives — 12 — 12 $8,983 $12 $— $8,995F-11Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments that are recordedat cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to theirshort-term nature. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt approximated its carrying amount. We estimated the fair valueof debt based upon current interest rates available to us at the respective balance sheet dates for arrangements with similar terms and conditions. Based onborrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of notes payable and capital lease obligations approximates fairvalue.IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND FINITE-LIVED ASSETSWe review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairmentexists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expectedfuture undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets, the asset isdeemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should berecognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset's fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined bycomputing the expected future discounted cash flows. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment charge was recorded for long-lived assets or finite-lived assets.GOODWILLGoodwill 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 annualbasis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairmentindicators.Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’sinterpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extentadditional information arises, market conditions change or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwillis impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results ofoperations.We apply the applicable accounting guidance when testing goodwill for impairment, which permits us to make a qualitative assessment of whether goodwillis impaired, or opt to bypass the qualitative assessment, and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test. If we perform aqualitative assessment and conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not consideredimpaired and the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are required to perform the first step of the two-stepimpairment test.We have the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwillimpairment test. We may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.For reporting units where we decide to perform a qualitative assessment, we assess and make judgments regarding a variety of factors which potentiallyimpact the fair value of a reporting unit, including general economic conditions, industry and market-specific conditions, customer behavior, cost factors, ourfinancial performance and trends, our strategies and business plans, capital requirements, management and personnel issues, and our stock price, amongothers. We then consider the totality of these and other factors, placing more weight on the events and circumstances that are judged to most affect a reportingunit'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 areporting 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 reportingunits is required and is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit and/or the component of the entitybeing valued. This impairment test includes the projection and discounting of cash flows, analysis of our market factors impacting the businesses we operateand estimating the fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Estimating future cash flows and determining their present values are basedupon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and appropriate discount rates determined by us.The discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from thereporting 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 theassociated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows. The discounted cash flow methodology uses projections of financial performance for afive-year period. The most significantF-12assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary amongreporting 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.During the year ended March 31, 2016, we performed goodwill impairment testing as of September 30, 2015. The impairment testing as of September 30,2015 determined that our CEG reporting unit had a fair value less than the unit's carrying amount, which resulted in an $18.0 million impairment charge togoodwill as of such date.The goodwill impairment recorded in fiscal 2016 was primarily a result of reduced expectations of future cash flows to be generated by our CEG reportingunit, reflecting the continuing decline in consumer demand for packaged goods in favor of films in downloadable form and slower than expected growth inour OTT channel business. Future decreases in the fair value of our CEG reporting unit may require us to record additional goodwill impairment, particularlyif our expectations of future cash flows are not achieved.In determining fair value of the CEG reporting unit, we used various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections orforecasts derived from analysis of business prospects, economic or market trends and any regulatory changes that may occur. We estimated the fair value ofthe reporting unit using a net present value methodology, which is dependent on significant assumptions related to estimated future discounted cash flows,discount rates and tax rates. The assumptions for the goodwill impairment test should not be construed as earnings guidance or long-term projections. Ourcash flow assumptions are based on internal projections of adjusted EBITDA for the Content & Entertainment reporting unit. We assumed a market-basedweighted average cost of capital of 17% to discount cash flows for our CEG segment and used a blended federal and state tax rate of 40% during the interimgoodwill impairment testing as of September 30, 2015 and in each of the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Based on such assumptions, the estimatedfair value of the Content & Entertainment reporting unit as calculated for goodwill testing purposes exceeded its carrying value as of March 31, 2017, andtherefore we did not record goodwill impairment in connection with our annual testing of goodwill for the year ended March 31, 2017.Information related to the goodwill allocated to our Content & Entertainment segment is as follows:(In thousands) GoodwillAs of April 1, 2015 $26,701Goodwill impairment (18,000)As of March 31, 2016 and 2017 8,701Gross amounts of goodwill and accumulated impairment charges that we have recorded are as follows:(In thousands) Goodwill $32,701Accumulated impairment losses (24,000)Net goodwill at March 31, 2017 $8,701PARTICIPATIONS AND ROYALTIES PAYABLEWhen we use third parties to distribute company owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor underrevenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or contentproducers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to usby such studios or content producers. See Note 3.DEBT ISSUANCE COSTSWe incur debt issuance costs in connection with long-term debt financings. Such costs are recorded as a direct deduction to notes payable and amortized overthe terms of the respective debt obligations using the effective interest rate method. Debt issuance costs recorded in connection with revolving debtarrangements are presented as assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the term of the revolving debt agreements using the effectiveinterest rate method.REVENUE RECOGNITIONF-13Phase I Deployment and Phase II DeploymentVirtual print fees (“VPFs”) are earned, net of administrative fees, pursuant to contracts with movie studios and distributors, whereby amounts are payable by astudio to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2 DC when movies distributed by the studio are displayed on screens utilizing our Systems installed in movietheatres. VPFs are earned and payable to Phase 1 DC and CDF I based on a defined fee schedule with a reduced VPF rate year over year until the sixth year(calendar year 2011) at which point the VPF rate remains unchanged through the tenth year until the VPFs phase out. One VPF is payable for every digitaltitle initially displayed per System. The amount of VPF revenue is dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed using the Systems in anygiven 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 digitallyequipped 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 isinstalled; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the contracts with movie studios and distributors, isachieved. Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows,including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including service fees, subject to maximumagreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter. Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, thestudios will pay us a one-time “cost recoupment bonus.” Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of costrecoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, we cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement ofcost recoupment. Beginning in December 2018, certain Phase 2 DC Systems will have reached the conclusion of their deployment payment period, subject toearlier achievement of cost recoupment. In accordance with existing agreements with distributors, VPF revenues will cease to be recognized on such Systems.Because the Phase II deployment installation period ended in December 2012, a majority of the VPF revenue associated with the Phase II systems will end byDecember 2022 or earlier if cost recoupment is achieved.Alternative content fees (“ACFs”) are earned pursuant to contracts with movie exhibitors, whereby amounts are payable to Phase 1 DC, CDF I and to Phase 2DC, 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 featuremovies, such as concerts and sporting events (typically referred to as “alternative content”). ACF revenue is recognized in the period in which the alternativecontent first opens for audience viewing.Revenues earned in connection with up front exhibitor contributions are deferred and recognized over the expected cost recoupment period.ServicesExhibitors who purchased and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment paid us an upfront activation fee of approximately $2.0thousand per screen (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”). Upfront activation fees were recognized in the period in which these Systems were delivered and readyfor content, as we had no further obligations to the customer after that time and collection was reasonably assured. In addition, we recognize activation feerevenue of between $1.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand on Phase 2 DC Systems and for Systems installed by CDF2 Holdings, a related party, (See Note 4 -Other Interests) upon installation and such fees are generally collected upfront upon installation. Our services segment manages and collects VPFs on behalfof exhibitors, for which it earns an administrative fee equal to 10% of the VPFs collected.Our Services segment earns an administrative fee of approximately 5% of VPFs collected and, in addition, earns an incentive service fee equal to 2.5% of theVPFs earned by Phase 1 DC. This administrative fee is recognized in the period in which the billing of VPFs occurs, as performance obligations have beensubstantially met at that time.Content & EntertainmentCEG earns fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, VOD, and physicalgoods (e.g., DVD and Blu-ray Discs). Fees earned are typically based on the gross amounts billed to our customers less the amounts owed to the media studiosor content producers under distribution agreements, and gross media sales of owned or licensed content. Depending upon the nature of the agreements withthe platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. Generally, revenues are recognized when content is available for subscription on thedigital platform, at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services. Reserves for sales returns and otherallowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowancesmay be required. Sales returns and allowances are reported as a reduction of revenues.F-14CEG also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third party feature movies and alternative content. CEG’s distribution fee revenue and CEG'sparticipation in box office receipts is recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed. CEG has the right to receive or bill a portionof 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 allrelated 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 areclassified as deferred revenue and are recognized as earned revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policies described above.DIRECT OPERATING COSTSDirect operating costs consist of operating costs such as cost of goods sold, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on Systems,royalty expenses, impairments of advances, marketing and direct personnel costs.ADVERTISINGAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and2016, we recorded advertising costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONEmployee and director stock-based compensation expense related to our stock-based awards was as follows: For the Fiscal Year Ended March31,(In thousands) 2017 2016Direct operating $10 $16Selling, general and administrative 1,716 1,816Total stock-based compensation expense $1,726 $1,832The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal year ended and 2016 was $7.94. There were 2,500 stock options exercisedduring the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. There were no stock options granted or exercised in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.We estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: For the Fiscal Year Ended March31,Assumptions for Option Grants 2017 2016Range of risk-free interest rates 1.1% - 1.3% 1.4% - 1.7%Dividend yield — —Expected life (years) 5 5Range of expected volatilities 72.5% - 76.3% 70.6 - 72.5%The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted under our stock option plan awards is the historical yield onU.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. We do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on Class A common stock in theforeseeable future. As a result, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We estimate the expected life of optionsgranted under our stock option plans using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior, as well as consideration of outstanding options.We estimate expected volatility for options granted under our stock option plans based on a measure of our Class A common stock's historical volatility inthe trading market.INCOME TAXESF-15The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for thefuture tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets andliabilities and their respective tax bases.Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assetwill ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States.NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERSBasic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculated as follows:Basic and diluted net loss per common shareattributable to common shareholders =Net loss attributable to common shareholdersWeighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the periodStock issued and treasury stock repurchased during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding. The shares to berepurchased in connection with the forward stock purchase transaction discussed in Note 6 - Stockholders' Deficit are considered repurchased for the purposesof calculating net loss per share and therefore the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017 excludes 1,179,138 shares thatwill be repurchased as a result of the forward stock purchase transaction.Shares issued and any shares that are reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding.We incurred net losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and therefore the impact of potentially dilutive common shares from outstandingstock options and warrants totaling 1,416,677 shares and 2,710,866 shares, were excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the fiscal yearsended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.COMPREHENSIVE LOSSAs of March 31, 2017 and 2016, our comprehensive loss consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSIn May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for asingle five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enableusers to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to useeither a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. The guidance will be effective during our fiscal yearending March 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on ourconsolidated financial statements.In August 2014, the FASB amended accounting guidance pertaining to going concern considerations by company management. The amendments in thisupdate state that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity's management should evaluatewhether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date thatthe financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). This standardwas adopted for the year ended March 31, 2017.In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires an entity to measure inventory balances at the lower of cost and net realizablevalue. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, andtransportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update areeffective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. This guidance was adopted for the yearended March 31, 2017 and did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.F-16In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance with respect to Business Combinations. The new guidance requires the acquirer in a BusinessCombination to recognize provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amountsare determined. The new guidance is effective for public entities for which fiscal years begin after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within the fiscalyears beginning after December 31, 2017. The accounting standard must be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after theeffective date, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financialstatements.In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the balance sheet classification of income taxes. The standard requires that deferred tax assetsand liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The standard is effective for fiscalyears, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied eitherretrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. We do not believe the adoption of the new financial instruments standardwill have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to financial instruments, which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation anddisclosure of financial instruments. The standard will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our 2019 fiscal year and early adoption is not permitted.We do not believe the adoption of the new financial instruments standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases. The new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on thistopic. The new standard, amongst other things, requires a lessee to classify a lease as either a finance or operating lease in which lessees will need torecognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for their leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based onthe liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in afront-loaded expense pattern. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. The standard iseffective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standardmust be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparativeperiod presented. We are evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance in an effort to simplify accounting for share-based payments. The new standard, amongst other things: •will require that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of operations and that the taxeffects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur;•will require excess tax benefits from share-based payments to be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows; and•permits an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate, as currentlyrequired, or account for forfeitures when they occur. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the impact of this newaccounting guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. Thisstandard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective forfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unlessimpracticable. If impracticable, we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. We are currently evaluating theimpact this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interest Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control,which alters how a decision maker needs to consider indirect interest in a VIE held through an entity under common control. ASU 2016-17 is effective forpublic business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As a result, this accountingguidance will become effective for in our first quarter of fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating theimpact this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.F-173.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTSACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEAccounts receivable, net consisted of the following: As of March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016Trade receivables $56,298 $54,424Allowance for doubtful accounts (2,690) (1,526)Total accounts receivable, net $53,608 $52,898PREPAID AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETSPrepaid and other current assets consisted of the following: As of March 31,(In thousands) 2017 2016Non-trade accounts receivable, net $3,387 $3,805Advances 8,119 9,775Due from producers 1,006 1,485Prepaid insurance 164 60Other prepaid expenses 808 747Total prepaid and other current assets $13,484 $15,872PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTProperty and equipment, net consisted of the following: As of March 31,(In thousands) 2017 2016Leasehold improvements $816 $824Computer equipment and software 4,374 9,400Digital cinema projection systems 360,651 360,651Machinery and equipment 592 592Furniture and fixtures 384 382 366,817 371,849Less - accumulated depreciation and amortization (333,679) (310,109)Total property and equipment, net $33,138 $61,740Total depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $27.7 million and $37.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016,respectively.

OTHER INTERESTS Investment in CDF2 HoldingsF-19 We indirectly own 100% of the common equity of CDF2 Holdings, LLC ("CDF2 Holdings"), which was created for the purpose of capitalizing on theconversion of the exhibition industry from film to digital technology. CDF2 Holdings assists its customers in procuring the equipment necessary to converttheir Systems to digital technology by providing financing, equipment, installation and related ongoing services.CDF2 Holdings is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 ("ASC 810"), “Consolidation." ASC 810requires 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 ofthe 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 economicperformance, among other factors. Although we indirectly, wholly own CDF2 Holdings, we, a third party that also has a variable interest in CDF2 Holdings,and an independent third party manager must mutually approve all business activities and transactions that significantly impact CDF2 Holdings' economicperformance. We have therefore assessed our variable interests in CDF2 Holdings and determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of CDF2 Holdings.As a result, CDF2 Holdings' financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in our financial position and results of operations. In completingour assessment, we identified the activities that we consider most significant to the economic performance of CDF2 Holdings and determined that we do nothave the power to direct those activities, and therefore we account for our investment in CDF2 Holdings under the equity method of accounting.As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, our maximum exposure to loss, as it relates to the non-consolidated CDF2 Holdings entity, represents accounts receivablefor service fees under a master service agreement with CDF2 Holdings. Such accounts receivable were $0.4 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2017 and2016, respectively, which are included within our accounts receivable, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we received $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in aggregate revenues through digitalcinema servicing fees from CDF2 Holdings, which are included in our revenues on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.Total Stockholder's Deficit of CDF2 Holdings at March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $18.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively. We have no obligation to fundthe operating loss or the stockholder's deficit beyond our initial investment of $2.0 million and accordingly, our investment in CDF2 Holdings is carried at$0 as of March 31, 2017 and 2016.Majority Interest in CONtvIn June 2014, we and Wizard World, Inc. ("Wizard World") formed CON TV, LLC (“CONtv”) to fund, design, create, launch, and operate a worldwide digitalnetwork that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content via the Internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms,such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets.In fiscal 2016, we entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement with Wizard World (the noncontrolling interest partner) and other non-votingequity holders. The agreement restructured our business relationship with Wizard World with respect to the ownership and operation of CONtv, and wasretroactively effective to July 1, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, we attained a majority interest in CONtv byincreasing our ownership percentage to 85.0% from 85.0%. In connection with increasing our ownership percentage, we reclassified certain capitalcontributions made by Wizard World to additional paid-in capital, to the extent that such capital contributions were in excess of its amended ownershippercentage. In addition, we retroactively reduced the loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest partner to July 1, 2015 in accordance with the Amendedand Restated Operating Agreement.During the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we made capital contributions of $46 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, to CONtv. Wizard WorldInc.'s share of stockholders' deficit in CONtv is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $1.2 million and $1.2million as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The noncontrolling interest's share of net loss was $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the years endedMarch 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.5.NOTES PAYABLENotes payable consisted of the following:F-20 As of March 31, 2017 As of March 31, 2016(In thousands) CurrentPortion Long TermPortion CurrentPortion Long TermPortion2013 Term Loans $— $— $21,188 $9,857Prospect Loan — 54,656 — 66,543KBC Facilities 5,744 2,890 7,646 10,998P2 Vendor Note 227 181 161 310P2 Exhibitor Notes 85 22 79 107Total non-recourse notes payable 6,056 57,749 29,074 87,815Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts — (2,701) — (4,577)Total non-recourse notes payable, net of unamortized debtissuance costs and debt discounts $6,056 $55,048 $29,074 $83,238 5.5% Convertible Notes Due 2035 $— $50,571 $— $64,000Second Secured Lien Notes — 9,165 — —Cinedigm Revolving Loans 19,599 — — 21,9272013 Notes — 5,000 — 5,000Total recourse notes payable $19,599 $64,736 $— $90,927Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts — (5,340) — (3,989)Total recourse notes payable, net of unamortized debtissuance costs and debt discounts $19,599 $59,396 $— $86,938Total notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs $25,655 $114,444 $29,074 $170,176Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse with respect to defaults, is limited to the value of the asset, which iscollateral for the debt. Certain of our subsidiaries are liable with respect to, and their assets serve as collateral for, certain indebtedness for which our assetsand the assets of our other subsidiaries that are not parties to the transaction are generally not liable. We have referred to this indebtedness as "non-recoursedebt" because the recourse of the lenders is limited to the assets of specific subsidiaries. Such indebtedness includes the Prospect Loan, the KBC Facilities,the 2013 Term Loans, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2 Exhibitor Notes.2013 Term LoansIn February 2013, CDF I, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with SociétéGénérale and other lenders, allowing for borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million, $5.0 million of which was assigned to an affiliateof CDF I (the "2013 Term Loans").Interest under the 2013 Credit Agreement was calculated using a base rate (generally, the bank prime rate) or the one-month LIBOR rate set at a minimum of1.00%, plus a margin of 1.75% (in the case of base rate loans) or 2.75% (in the case of LIBOR rate loans). The 2013 Term Loans were repaid in full inNovember 2016 using the balance of restricted cash and collections that we had designated for payment of the 2013 Term Loans. In connection with therepayment of the 2013 Term Loans, we wrote-off the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount related to such loans. As a result, werecorded $0.7 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended March 31, 2017.The following table presents a summary of the 2013 Term Loans: As of March 31,(In thousands) 2017 20162013 Term Loans, at issuance, net $125,087 $125,087Payments to date (125,087) (94,043)Discount on 2013 Term Loans — (118)2013 Term Loans, net — 30,926Less current portion — (21,188)Total long term portion $— $9,738F-21Prospect LoanIn February 2013, our DC Holdings, AccessDM and Phase 2 DC subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement (the “Prospect Loan”) with Prospect CapitalCorporation (“Prospect”), pursuant to which DC Holdings borrowed $70.0 million. The Prospect Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 9.0% (with a 2.0% LIBORfloor), which is payable in cash, and at an additional 2.50% to be accrued as an increase to the aggregate principal amount of the Prospect Loan until the2013 Credit Agreement is paid off, at which time all accrued interest will be payable in cash.Collections of DC Holdings accounts receivable are deposited into accounts designated to pay certain operating expenses, principal, interest, fees, costs andexpenses relating to the Prospect Loan. On a quarterly basis, if funds remain after the payment of all such amounts, they are applied to prepay the ProspectLoan. Amounts designated for these purposes, included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $1.7 million and $8.7million as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We also maintain a debt service fund under the Prospect Loan for future principal and interestpayments. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the debt service fund had a balance of $1.0 million, which is classified as restricted cash on the ConsolidatedBalance Sheets.The Prospect Loan matures on March 31, 2021 and may be accelerated upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement) or other events of default as setforth therein and would be subject to mandatory acceleration upon insolvency of DC Holdings. We are permitted to pay the full outstanding balance of theProspect Loan at any time after the second anniversary of the initial borrowing, subject to the following prepayment penalties:•5.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the second and third anniversaries of issuance;•4.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the third and fourth anniversaries of issuance;•3.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the fourth and fifth anniversaries of issuance;•2.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the fifth and sixth anniversary of issuance;•1.0% of the principal amount prepaid between the sixth and seventh anniversaries of issuance; and•No penalty if the balance of the Prospect Loan, including accrued interest, is prepaid thereafter.The Prospect Loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of the stock of CDF2 Holdings, our wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiary, thestock of AccessDM, owned by DC Holdings, and the stock of our Phase 2 DC subsidiary, and is also guaranteed by AccessDM and Phase 2 DC. We providelimited financial support to the Prospect Loan not to exceed $1.5 million per year in the event financial performance does not meet certain definedbenchmarks.The Prospect Loan contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default.

There were no draws on the KBC Facilities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The following table presents a summary of the KBCFacilities (dollar amounts in thousands):F-22 Outstanding Principal BalanceFacility1 CreditFacility InterestRate2 Maturity Date March 31, 2017 March 31, 20161 22,336 3.75% September 2018 3,758 7,1802 13,312 3.75% September 2018 — 4,0343 11,425 3.75% March 2019 3,264 4,8964 6,450 3.75% December 2018 1,612 2,534$53,523$8,634$18,6441. For each facility, principal is to be repaid in twenty-eight quarterly installments.2. Each of the facilities bears interest at the three-month LIBOR rate, which was 0.63% at March 31, 2017, plus the interest rate noted above.5.5% Convertible Notes Due April 2035On April 29, 2015, we issued $64.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior convertible notes payable (the "Convertible Notes") that bearinterest at a rate of 5.5% per year, payable semiannually. The Convertible Notes will mature on April 15, 2035, unless earlier repurchased , redeemed orconverted and are convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturitydate. Upon conversion, we will deliver to holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes being converted a number of shares of ourClass A common stock equal to the conversion rate, together with a cash payment in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A common stock. Theconversion rate applicable to the Convertible Notes on the offering date was 82.4572 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes(equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $12.13 per share of Class A common stock), which is subject to adjustment if certain events occur.Holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes on April 20, 2020, April 20, 2025 and April 20, 2030and upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to berepurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Convertible Notes will be redeemable by us at our option on or after April 20, 2018 upon thesatisfaction of a sale price condition with respect to our Class A common stock and on or after April 20, 2020 without regard to the sale price condition, ineach case, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.The net proceeds from the Convertible Note offering was $60.9 million, after deducting offering expenses. We used $18.6 million of the net proceeds fromthe offering to repay borrowings under and terminate one of our term loans under our 2013 Credit Agreement, of which $18.2 million was used to pay theremaining principal balance. Concurrently with the closing of the Convertible Notes transaction, we repurchased approximately 272,100 shares of our ClassA common stock from certain purchasers of Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions for $2.7 million. In addition, $11.4 million of the netproceeds was used to fund the cost of repurchasing approximately 1,179,138 shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the forward stock purchaseagreement described in Note 6 - Stockholders' Deficit. We recorded interest expense of $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2017 and2016, respectively, related to the Convertible Notes.During the year ended March 31, 2017, we entered into exchange agreements pursuant to which we issued 1,575,000 shares of our Class A common stock(including 277,244 shares re-issued from treasury stock), par value $0.001 per share, warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and $3.5million of Second Secured Lien Notes (see separate section below) in exchange for $13.4 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the "ExchangeAgreements"). The exchanged Convertible Notes were immediately canceled. The warrants, which became exercisable six months after issuance, have a five-year term, an exercise price of $1.60 per share, and customary anti-dilution provisions.The Convertible Notes exchanges were accounted for as an induced conversion resulting from the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock and warrantsto purchase Class A Common Stock in excess of the shares that would have been issuable under the terms of the original Convertible Notes Indenture and theissuance of Second Secured Lien Loans. In accounting for the induced conversion, we recorded debt conversion expense of $4.4 million, representing thedifference between the fair value of the Class A Common Stock, debt and warrants issued in connection with the Exchange Agreements and the fair value ofthe shares that would have been issuable under the original terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture. As a result of the transactions, we reduced ConvertibleNotes of $13.4 million, related debt issuance costs of $0.4 million, and recorded $14.3 million to additional paid-in capital.The debt issuance costs of $0.4 million are shown as a loss on extinguishment of debt in our consolidated statements of operations.F-23Second Secured Lien NotesOn July 14, 2016, we entered into a Second Lien Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), under which we may borrow up to $15.0 million, subject tocertain limitations imposed on us regarding the number of shares that we may issue in connection with the loans. During the year ended March 31, 2017, weborrowed an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million under the Loan Agreement (the "Second Secured Lien Notes"), including $4.0 million borrowed fromRonald L. Chez, the lead lender in the transaction and at the time a member of our Board of Directors until April 2017, at which time he resigned and becamea strategic advisor to the Board of Directors, and $0.5 million borrowed from our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. In addition,we borrowed $4.5 million from other third-party lenders, of which $3.5 million were issued in connection with the Convertible Notes exchange transactiondescribed above. The Second Secured Lien Notes mature on June 30, 2019 and bear interest at 12.75%, payable 7.5% in cash and 5.25% in cash or in kind atour option. In addition, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we are required to issue 98,000 shares of our Class A common stock for every $1 millionborrowed, subject to pro rata adjustments. The Loans may be prepaid without premium or penalty and contain customary covenants, representations andwarranties. The obligations under the Loans are guaranteed by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries. We have pledged substantially all of our assets,except those assets related to our digital cinema deployment business, to secure payment on the Second Secured Lien Notes. The Loan Agreement wasamended on August 4, 2016 and on October 7, 2016 to facilitate subsequent borrowing transactions and clarify certain terms of the shares issuable inconnection with the loans.In connection with the Second Secured Lien Notes, we issued 597,100 shares of our Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of ourClass A common stock to Mr. Chez, 49,000 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. McGurk and 4,900 shares of Class A common stock to another member ofour Board of Directors during the year ended March 31, 2017. In addition, we issued 100,450 shares of our Class A common stock to third-party lenders inconsideration for Second Secured Lien Notes. The warrants granted to Mr. Chez were issued in two equal tranches of 100,000 underlying shares that haveunderlying exercise prices of$1.34 and $1.68, respectively. The warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, are immediately exercisable and have a termof seven years. The warrants also contain customary anti-dilution rights.The values of the shares and warrants issued were $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Class A common stock and warrants were negotiated withthe lender as part of a bundled financing arrangement and, as a result, we have recorded their respective relative fair values as a debt discount. The proceedsof the transactions with Mr. Chez were allocated to the debt and warrants based on their respective relative fair values, with the relative fair value of thewarrants recorded as a discount to the proceeds from the loans. The discount attributed to the Second Secured Lien Notes is being amortized over the life ofthe notes using the effective interest method.The warrants issued in the transaction were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming a 7-year life, a risk free rate interest of 1.2% andan expected volatility of 73.3%.Cinedigm Credit AgreementOn October 17, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Cinedigm Credit Agreement”) with Société Générale. Under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement,as amended in February 2015 and April 2015, we were permitted to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $55.0 million, including term loans of$25.0 million (the “Cinedigm Term Loans”) and revolving loans of up to $30.0 million (the “Cinedigm Revolving Loans”). Interest under the CinedigmTerm Loans was charged at a base rate plus 5.0%, or the Eurodollar rate plus 6.0% until the Cinedigm Term Loan was repaid on April 29, 2015 in connectionwith the Convertible Notes offering. The Cinedigm Revolving Loans bear interest at a base rate of 6.25% or the Eurodollar rate of 1.0% plus 4.0%. The Baserate, 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’slargest banks,” (b) 0.50% plus the federal funds rate, and (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 4.0%.We repaid the entire outstanding balance of the Cinedigm Term Loans and amended the terms of the Cinedigm Revolving Loans in connection with ourissuance of the Convertible Notes. In connection with the repayment of the Cinedigm Term Loans, we wrote-off certain unamortized debt issuance costs andthe discount that remained on the balance of the note payable. As a result, we recorded $0.9 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt for the year endedMarch 31, 2016.The April 2015 amendment to the Cinedigm Revolving Loans extended the term of the agreement to March 31, 2018, provided for the release of the equityinterests in the subsidiaries that we had previously pledged as collateral, changed the interest rate and replaced all financial covenants with a single debtservice coverage ratio test commencing at June 30, 2016 and a $5.0 million minimum liquidity covenant. The Cinedigm Revolving Loans, as amended, bearinterest at Base Rate (as defined in the amendment) plus 3% or LIBOR plus 4%, at our election, but in no event may the elected Base Rate or LIBOR rate beless than 1%. We are permitted to repay the Cinedigm Revolving Loans, at our option, in whole or in part.F-24In May 2016, we entered into an agreement with Société Générale (as Administrative Agent), which amended certain terms of the Cinedigm Credit Agreement(the “May 2016 Amendment”) primarily to increase the Company’s cash available for operations . The May 2016 Amendment also reduced the maximumprincipal amount available under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement from $30.0 million to $22.0 million.In July 2016, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, lowered the minimum liquidity requirement to $0.8 millionup to June 30, 2017 and all times after June 30, 2017, at least $5.0 million in minimum liquidity. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries that are guarantors tothe Credit Agreement entered into a Guaranty Supplement, pursuant to which certain of the subsidiaries guaranteed the Company’s obligations under theCredit Agreement and the subsidiaries pledged substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations. In addition, pursuant to the July 2016 amendment,(i) the Eurodollar rate loans were changed to Base plus 4.5% and base plus 3.5% for Base rate loans, (ii) the requirement for the debt service reserve accountwas eliminated, and (iii) the maximum principal amount available to borrow was reduced from $22.0 million to $19.8 million. As of March 31, 2017, $0.2million in additional borrowings were available under the Cinedigm Revolving Loans.In connection with the Cinedigm Revolving Loans, we maintained a debt service reserve account in restricted cash for certain scheduled interest andprincipal payments due on the Cinedigm Revolving Loans and Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2016 of $2.2 million. As a result of the July 2016amendment to the Credit Agreement, no such reserve amount was required to be maintained as of March 31, 2017.On May 31, 2017, we obtained a waiver on a covenant under the Cinedigm Credit Agreement and Second Secured Lien Notes for the quarter ended March31, 2017.2013 NotesIn October 2013, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which we sold notes in the aggregate principal amount of$5.0 million (the “2013 Notes”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “2013 Warrants”) to such investors.We allocated a fair value of $1.6 million to the 2013 Warrants, which was recorded as a discount to the 2013 Notes and is being amortized through thematurity of the 2013 Notes as interest expense.The principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Notes is due on October 21, 2018. The 2013 Notes bear interest at 9.0% per annum, payable in quarterlyinstallments over the term of the 2013 Notes. The 2013 Notes may be redeemed at any time, subject to certain premiums.Zvi Rhine, a member of our Board of Directors, is a holder of $0.5 million of the 2013 Notes as of March 31, 2017.The aggregate principal repayments on our notes payable, including anticipated PIK interest, are scheduled to be as follows (dollars in thousands):Fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 $25,6552019 8,0932020 9,1652021 54,6562022 —Thereafter 50,571 $148,1406.STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICITCOMMON STOCKOn September 27, 2016, at its Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Fourth Amended and RestatedCertificate of Incorporation, which increased the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 25,000,000 shares.F-25During the year ended March 31, 2017, we issued shares of Class A common stock in connection with debt financing, the exchange of Convertible Notes,payment for a CEO retention bonus, third-party advisory services, restricted stock awards to employees and payment of preferred stock dividends.On July 14, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Settlement Agreement Amendment”) to the Settlement Agreement (the “SettlementAgreement”) dated as of July 30, 2015 among the Company and Ronald L.

The value of these shares was $0.1 million, which has been recorded as stock-based compensation expense in our Consolidated Statement ofOperations for the year ended March 31, 2017. We issued 597,100 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Chez in connection with the Second Secured LienNotes for the year ended March 31, 2017. See Note 5 - Notes Payable. In April 2017, Mr. Chez resigned from the Board of Directors and resumed his role as astrategic advisor to the Company.Reverse Stock SplitIn May 2016, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock, whereby each 10 shares of our Class A common stock and commonstock equivalents were converted into 1 share of Class A common stock.The reverse stock split affected all issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, as well as common stock underlying stock options andwarrants outstanding immediately prior to its effectiveness. The reverse stock split proportionally reduced the total number of shares of Class A commonstock outstanding and the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.Fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were settled in cash.PREFERRED STOCKCumulative dividends in arrears on the preferred stock at March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $0.1 million. In April 2017, we paid preferred stock dividendsaccrued at March 31, 2017 in the form of 58,370 shares of our Class A Common Stock.TREASURY STOCKIn connection with the offering of Convertible Notes, on April 29, 2015, we repurchased 272,100 shares of our Class A common stock from certain purchasersof Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions for $2.7 million, which is reflected as treasury stock in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as ofMarch 31, 2016. In addition, we entered into a privately negotiated forward stock purchase transaction with a financial institution, which is one of the lendersunder our credit agreement (the "Forward Counterparty"), pursuant to which we paid $11.4 million to purchase 1,179,138 shares of our Class A common stockfor settlement that may be settled at any time prior to the fifth year anniversary of the issuance date of the notes. The payment for the forward contract hasbeen reflected as a reduction of Additional Paid-in Capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet until such time that the forward contract is settled and theshares are legally delivered to and owned by us. Upon settlement of the forward contract and delivery of the stock, we will reclassify such amount to treasurystock.In February 2017, we re-issued 277,244 shares of treasury stock in connection with an exchange of Convertible Notes. As a result, we no longer held shares ofour Class A common stock in treasury as of March 31, 2017.CINEDIGM’S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANStock OptionsAwards issued under our equity incentive plan (the "Plan") may be in any of the following forms (or a combination thereof) (i) stock option awards; (ii) stockappreciation rights; (iii) stock or restricted stock or restricted stock units; or (iv) performance awards. The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stockoptions (“ISOs”) with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholdershaving more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of our Class ACommon Stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject tothe continuous service of the participant. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options are set at the discretion of ourcompensation committee. Upon a change of control of the Company, all stock options (incentive and non-statutory) that have not previously vested will vestimmediately and become fully exercisable. In connection with theF-26grants of stock options under the Plan, we and the participants have executed stock option agreements setting forth the terms of the grants. The Plan, whichwas amended at the Company's Annual Meeting on September 27, 2016, provides for the issuance of up to 2,380,000 shares of Class A Common Stock toemployees, outside directors and consultants. For fiscal year 2016, the Plan allowed for the issuance of 1,430,000 shares.We account for share-based employee compensation plans under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of GAAP. Those provisions requireall share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock-based compensation to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, withthe resulting expense generally recognized on a straight-line basis in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period during which the employeeis required to perform service in exchange for the award. The majority of our awards are earned over a service period of four years.Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures in our consolidated statements of operations and as such, only those share-basedawards that we expect to vest are recorded.

(18,096)Net deferred tax $— $—We have provided a valuation allowance equal to our net deferred tax assets for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. We are required torecognize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets if we believe that it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized, given the weight of allavailable evidence. We assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date. In assessing the need for a valuationallowance, we considered both positive and negative evidence, including recent financial performance, projections of future taxable income and scheduledreversals of deferred tax liabilities. We increased the valuation allowance by $2.4 million and $16.0 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017and 2016, respectively. We will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based upon actualand forecasted operating results.At March 31, 2017, we had Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $250.3 million available in the United States of America("US") and approximately $0.6 million in Australia to reduce future taxable income. The US federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin toexpire in 2020. The Australian net operating loss carryforward does not expire.At March 31, 2017, we had Federal and state capital loss carryforwards of approximately $11.4 million available to reduce future capital gains. The capitalloss carryforwards were generated during the year ended March 31, 2014 and expires after the year ending March 31, 2019. During the year ended March 31,2017, approximately $9.0 million of capital loss carryforwards that were generated during the year ended March 31, 2011, expired.Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in our ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net operatinglosses that may be utilized in future years. As of March 31, 2017, approximately $12.6 million of net operating losses from periods prior to March 2006 aresubject to an annual Section 382 limitation of approximately $12.6 million. Net operating losses of approximately $237.7 million, which were generatedsince March 2006 are currently not subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Future significant ownership changes could cause a portion or all ofthese net operating losses to expire before utilization.The differences between the United States statutory federal tax rate and our effective tax rate are as follows:F-36 For the fiscal years ended March31, 2017 2016Provision at the U.S. statutory federal tax rate34.0 % 34.0 %State income taxes, net of federal benefit6.6 % 5.6 %Change in valuation allowance(19.2)% (40.3)%Non-deductible equity compensation(1.8)% (0.7)%Expired capital loss carry forward(20.8)% — %Other(0.5)% 0.5 %Income tax expense(1.7)% (0.9)%Since April 1, 2007, we have applied accounting principles that clarify the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes. As of March 31, 2017and 2016, we did not have any uncertainties in income taxes.We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and Australia. For federal income tax purposes, our fiscal 2014 through 2017 taxyears remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations. For state tax purposes, our fiscal 2013 through2017 tax years generally remain open for examination by most of the tax authorities under a four-year statute of limitations. For Australian tax purposes,fiscal tax years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 are open for examination.12.SUBSEQUENT EVENTSOn April 10, 2017, we entered into lease agreements for a new office facility at 45 West 36th Street, New York, New York, which will replace our currentfacility at 902 Broadway and coincide with the termination of such lease.

In the opinion of the Board, it is appropriate forthe Company not to have such a process in place because the Board believes there is currently not a need for a formal policy due to, among other things, thelimited number of stockholders of the Company. While the Board will, from time to time, review the need for a formal policy, at the present time,stockholders who wish to contact the Board may do so by submitting any communications to the Company’s Secretary, Mr. Loffredo, 902 Broadway, 9thFloor, New York, New York 10010, with an instruction to forward the communication to a particular director or the Board as a whole. Mr. Loffredo willreceive the correspondence and forward it to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed.MATTERS RELATING TO OUR GOVERNANCEBoard of DirectorsThe Board oversees the Company’s risk management including understanding the risks the Company faces and what steps management is taking to managethose risks, as well as understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the Company.

During the fiscal year ended March 31,2017 (the “Last Fiscal Year”), the Board held four (4) meetings and thirteen (13) telephonic meetings, and the Board members acted three (3) times byunanimous written consent in lieu of holding a meeting. Each current member of the Board, who was then serving, attended at least 75% of the total numberof meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served in the Last Fiscal Year. No individual may be nominated for election to theBoard after his or her 73rd birthday. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.The Company does not currently have a policy in place regarding attendance by Board members at the Company’s annual meetings. However, each of thecurrent directors, who was then serving, attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.The Board has three standing committees, consisting of an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.Audit CommitteeThe Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O'Brien and Rhine. Mr. Rhine is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held four (4)meetings in the Last Fiscal Year. The Audit Committee has met with the Company’s management and the Company’s independent registered publicaccounting firm to review and help ensure the adequacy of its internal controls and to review the results and scope of the auditors’ engagement and otherfinancial reporting and control matters. Mr. Rhine is financially literate, and Mr. Rhine is financially sophisticated, as those terms are defined under the rulesof Nasdaq. Mr. Rhine is also a financial expert, as such term is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Messrs. Brown, Rhine, O’Connor and Rhine areconsidered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.The Audit Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Audit Charter”). The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Company hasadequate internal controls and is required to meet with the Company’s auditors to review these internal controls and to discuss other financial reportingmatters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditors. Additionally, the Audit Committee isresponsible for the review and oversight of all related party transactions and other potential conflict of interest situations between the Company and itsofficers, directors, employees and principal stockholders. The Audit Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website at www.cinedigm.com.Compensation CommitteeThe Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine. Mr. O’Brien is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. TheCompensation Committee met one (1) time during the Last Fiscal Year. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation package of theCompany’s Chief Executive Officer and, based on recommendations by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, approves the levels of compensation andbenefits payable to the Company’s other executive officers, reviews general policy matters relating to employee compensation and benefits and recommendsto the entire Board, for its approval, stock option and other equity-based award grants to its executive officers, employees and consultants and discretionarybonuses to its executive officers and employees. The Compensation Committee has the authority to appoint and delegate to a sub-committee the authority tomake grants and administer bonus and compensation plans and programs. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules ofthe SEC and the Nasdaq.The Compensation Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Compensation Charter”). The Compensation Charter sets forth the duties,authorities and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website atwww.cinedigm.com.43The Compensation Committee, when determining executive compensation (including under the executive compensation program, as discussed below underthe heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis), evaluates the potential risks associated with the compensation policies and practices. TheCompensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs are designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to theCompany’s overall compensation philosophy and do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior. In general, the Company compensates itsexecutives in a combination of cash and stock options. The stock options contain vesting provisions, typically of proportional annual vesting over a three- orfour-year period which encourages the executives, on a long-term basis, to strive to enhance the value of such compensation as measured by the trading priceof the Class A Common Stock. The Compensation Committee does not believe that this type of compensation encourages excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior. As a result, we do not believe that risks relating to our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have amaterial adverse effect on the Company. The Company intends to recapture compensation as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, there havebeen no instances where it needed to recapture any compensation.During the Last Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee engaged Aon Hewitt, a compensation consulting firm. The consultant met with the CompensationCommittee multiple times during the Last Fiscal Year and provided guidance for cash and equity bonus compensation to executive officers and directors,which the Compensation Committee considered in reaching its determinations of such compensation. In addition, the consultant was available to respond tospecific inquiries throughout the year.Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider ParticipationThe Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Westlake. Mr. O’Brien is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.None of such members was, at any time during the Last Fiscal Year or at any previous time, an officer or employee of the Company.None of the Company’s directors or executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that hasone or more of its executive officers serving as a member of the Company’s board of directors. No member of the Compensation Committee had anyrelationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.Nominating CommitteeThe Nominating Committee consists of Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine. Mr. Brown is the Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The NominatingCommittee held one (1) meeting during the Last Fiscal Year. The Nominating Committee evaluates and approves nominations for annual election to, and tofill any vacancies in, the Board and recommends to the Board the directors to serve on committees of the Board. The Nominating Committee also approvesthe compensation package of the Company’s directors. Messrs. Brown, O’Brien and Rhine are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and theNasdaq.The Nominating Committee has adopted a formal written charter (the “Nominating Charter”). The Nominating Charter sets forth the duties andresponsibilities of the Nominating Committee and the general skills and characteristics that the Nominating Committee employs to determine the individualsto nominate for election to the Board. The Nominating Charter is available on the Company’s Internet website at www.cinedigm.com.The Nominating Committee will consider any candidates recommended by stockholders. In considering a candidate submitted by stockholders, theNominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. Nevertheless, the Board may choose notto consider an unsolicited recommendation if no vacancy exists on the Board and/or the Board does not perceive a need to increase the size of the Board.There are no specific minimum qualifications that the Nominating Committee believes must be met by a Nominating Committee-recommended directornominee. However, the Nominating Committee believes that director candidates should, among other things, possess high degrees of integrity and honesty;have literacy in financial and business matters; have no material affiliations with direct competitors, suppliers or vendors of the Company; and preferablyhave experience in the Company’s business and other relevant business fields (for example, finance, accounting, law and banking). The NominatingCommittee considers diversity together with the other factors considered when evaluating candidates but does not have a specific policy in place withrespect to diversity.Members of the Nominating Committee meet in advance of each of the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders to identify and evaluate the skills andcharacteristics of each director candidate for nomination for election as a director of the Company. The Nominating Committee reviews the candidates inaccordance with the skills and qualifications set forth in the Nominating Charter44and the rules of the Nasdaq. There are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates director nominees based on whether or notthe nominee is recommended by a stockholder.Stock Ownership GuidelinesThe Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for its non-employee directors, pursuant to which the non-employee directors are required to acquire,within three (3) years, and maintain until separation from the Company, shares equal in value to a minimum of three (3) times the aggregate value of theannual cash and stock retainer (not including committee or per-meeting fees) payable to such director. Shares acquired as Board retainer fees and sharesowned by an investment entity with which a non-employee director is affiliated may be counted toward the stock ownership requirement.ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONCOMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCompensation Philosophy and Objectives and Compensation Program OverviewThe following Compensation Discussion & Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the philosophy, objectives and structure of our 2017 executive compensationprogram. This CD&A is intended to be read in conjunction with the tables beginning on page 51, which provide further historical compensation informationfor our following named executive officers (“NEOs”): NameTitleChristopher J. McGurkChairman and Chief Executive OfficerJeffrey S. EdellChief Financial OfficerWilliam SondheimPresident, Cinedigm Entertainment Corp.Quick CD&A Reference Guide Compensation Program OverviewSection ICompensation Philosophy and ObjectivesSection IIPay MixSection IIICompetitive PositioningSection IVElements of CompensationSection VAdditional Compensation Practices and PoliciesSection VII.Compensation Program OverviewAs the Company has evolved, so too has the compensation program. Going forward, the Company is focused on improving both shareholder returns and itscash position. To help achieve this goal, the compensation program is intended to reward the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and other employees forachieving strategic goals and increasing shareholder value and includes a formal performance-based Management Annual Incentive Plan (“MAIP”) based onpredetermined, specific target award levels and performance metrics and goals. The MAIP is predicated on attaining goals that are critical to Cinedigm’sfuture success and is designed to reward the level of collaboration across divisions and segments required to achieve corporate financial goals. No MAIPbonuses were paid to the NEOs for fiscal 2017.The compensation program consists of base salary, annual incentives, and long-term equity compensation. In addition, all of our NEOs receive some modestpersonal benefits and perquisites. Retirement benefits are accumulated through the Company’s 401(k) plan which is open to all employees. The Companydoes not provide supplemental retirement benefits for NEOs. One of our named executive officers currently has an employment agreement.The Compensation Committee annually reviews the executive compensation elements and assesses the integrity of the compensation program as a whole toensure that it continues to be aligned with the Company’s compensation objectives and45supports the attainment of Company goals. Periodically, the Company reviews competitive compensation levels, mix of pay, and practices to ensure allcompensation program features continue to be in line with the market, while still reflecting the unique needs of our business model. Additionally, in responseto business and talent needs, executive management brings compensation proposals to the Compensation Committee, which then reviews the proposal andeither approves or denies them.II.Compensation Philosophy and ObjectivesCinedigm’s executive compensation philosophy is focused on enabling the Company to hire and retain qualified and motivated executives, while meetingits business needs and objectives. To be consistent with this philosophy, the executive compensation program has been designed around the followingobjectives:·Provide competitive compensation levels to enable the recruitment and retention of highly qualified executives.·Design incentive programs that strengthen the link between pay and corporate and business unit performance encouraging and rewarding excellenceand contributions to support Cinedigm’s success.·Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders through grants of equity-based compensation that also provide opportunities forongoing executive share ownership.An overarching principle in delivering on these objectives is to ensure that compensation decisions are made in the Company’s best financial interests suchthat incentive awards are both affordable and reasonable, taking into account Company performance and considering the interests of all stakeholders.III.Pay MixThe Company’s pay philosophy has been evolving from an emphasis on fixed pay to one that believes a substantial portion of each executive’scompensation should be at risk and dependent upon performance. While the Compensation Committee has not adopted a targeted mix of either long-term toshort-term, fixed to variable, or equity and non-equity compensation, it has taken steps to increase the portion of variable compensation. Steps in thisdirection include the introduction of the Management Annual Incentive Plan and more regular equity grants.IV.Competitive PositioningRole of ConsultantThe Compensation Committee has engaged Aon Hewitt to provide guidance with respect to executive compensation, including bonuses, incentives andcompensation for new hires.Competitive AssessmentThe Compensation Committee has not defined a target pay positioning for the CEO or other Named Executive Officers, nor does it commit to providing aspecific percentile or pay range. In the most recent competitive assessment analysis conducted in connection with establishing or renewing our NEO’semployment arrangements, the CEO’s total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus long-term incentives and equity awards) was below the peergroup median. The Compensation Committee viewed such positioning as reasonably appropriate because of Cinedigm’s size relative to the peer group andits performance during the fiscal year.The compensation for Mr. Edell was initially assessed in 2014 at the time of his initial employment agreement, and for Mr. Sondheim in 2013 (also at thetime of his initial employment agreement); pay positioning for those roles is also conservative relative to the peer group median for the same reasons as notedin the CEO discussion above. It is the belief of the Compensation Committee that the available talent pool to fill these positions is broader than the pool forthe CEO and therefore, that their pay levels, and potential opportunity for wealth creation through stock grants, are robust enough to retain and motivatethem.As the Company’s performance improves and the business stabilizes, the competitiveness of Cinedigm’s executive compensation for NEOs should alsoimprove.The Cinedigm executive compensation peer group includes 16 companies with median revenues of $332 million including similar, but smaller,media/entertainment businesses, some technology/software companies, and some similar, but larger, media/46entertainment businesses. The companies in the Cinedigm peer group were used in the most recent competitive compensation assessment conducted.Current Peer GroupAvid TechnologyHarmonic Inc.RealDDemand Media Inc.IMAX Corp.Rentrack Corp.Dial GlobalLimelight Networks Inc.Rovi Corp.Digimarc Corp.Lions Gate EntertainmentSeachange InternationalDigital RiverNational CineMedia Dts Inc.Netflix Inc. V.Elements of CompensationCompensation for executive officers is comprised primarily of three main components:•base salary;•annual incentive awards; and•long-term incentive equity grants.We believe that our compensation program encourages our employees to remain focused on both our short-term and long-term goal: our MAIP measures andrewards business and individual performance on an annual basis, while our equity awards typically vest in installments of three to four years and rewardstrong share price appreciation, encouraging our executives to focus on the long-term performance of our company.Base SalaryBase salaries are fixed compensation with the primary function of aiding in attraction and retention. These salaries are reviewed periodically, as well as at thetime of a promotion, change in responsibilities, or when employment arrangements and/or agreements are renewed. Any increases are based on an evaluationof the previous year’s performance of the Company and the executive, the relative strategic importance of the position, market conditions, and competitivepay levels (though, as noted earlier, the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile or range). No Named Executive Officers received asalary increase during fiscal 2017.Our NEO’s salaries will remain at current levels throughout the new fiscal year, with no salary increases planned, unless an increase is determined as a resultof the negotiated renewal of a Named Executive’s employment arrangements.Annual Incentive AwardsCommencing with the 2010 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee implemented a formal annual incentive plan. This plan was used for the 2016 fiscalyear and covered 33 Cinedigm employees including the NEOs. The plan established threshold and maximum levels of incentive awards defined as apercentage of a participant’s salary.MAIP Potential AwardsExecutive OfficerThresholdTarget(as a % of base salary)MaximumChris McGurk37.5%75%150%Jeffrey Edell25%50%100%William S. Sondheim17.5%35%70%Payouts for the NEOs were determined based on achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and other performance targets related to individualperformance. Participants who were part of a specific business segment or division have a portion of their award determined by business segment or division’sEBITDA performance as compared to EBITDA goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year. We do not disclose segment and division targets, orindividual goals, as we believe that such disclosure47would result in competitive harm. Based on our experience in the segments and divisions, we believe these targets were set sufficiently high to provideincentive to achieve a high level of performance. We believe it is difficult, although not unattainable, for the targets to be reached and, therefore, no morelikely than unlikely that the targets will be reached. For Mr. McGurk and Mr. Edell 80% of their fiscal 2016 MAIP award is determined based on achievementof consolidated adjusted EBITDA and 20% based on individual performance. For Mr. Sondheim, 60% of his fiscal 2016 MAIP award is determined based onthe achievement of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, 20% is based on achievement of division EBITDA, and 20% is based on individual performance.Based on 2017 performance, each NEO earned none of their target MAIP award.Long-Term Incentive AwardsThe Compensation Committee annually considers long-term incentive awards, for which it has the authority to grant a variety of equity-based awards. Theprimary objective of such awards is to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders by increasing executive share ownership and fostering along-term focus. In recent years, such awards have been made after fiscal year end in order to permit consideration of year-end performance.Long-term incentive awards for the NEOs have historically consisted of stock options and, on occasion, RSUs. These grants were designed to aid in retention,provide a discretionary reward for performance, increase executive ownership, and focus NEOs on improving share price. Mr. Edell received an award ofoptions to purchase 10,000 shares having an exercise price of $9.00 per share in June, 2015 pursuant to the terms of his existing employment agreementdated June 2014. With the elimination of the COO role in connection with Mr. Mizel’s departure, Mr. Edell took on additional responsibilities. No otherNamed Executives received any long-term incentive awards during fiscal 2016.In November, 2016, the compensation committee recommended and the board approved long-term incentive awards, in the form of restricted stock grants, forNEOs and other top management. Messrs. McGurk, Edell and Sondheim received 300,000, 100,000 and 100,000 restricted shares, respectively. One-third ofthese restricted stock awards will vest annually, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.VI.Additional Compensation Policies and PracticesMr. McGurk’s Compensation ArrangementsMr. McGurk joined Cinedigm in January 2011 as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Accordingly, Mr. McGurk’s compensation package was created in linewith the Company’s current compensation philosophy of a base salary coupled with variable compensation including a large portion of equity-basedcompensation, through stock options, linked to stock price performance. When negotiating Mr. McGurk’s employment agreement, the Company sought forsalary and bonus amounts that were in line with peer group amounts and that would provide incentive for Mr. McGurk with a view toward increasingstockholder value. The Company determined that stock options to purchase 450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock would align Mr. McGurk’s interestswith stockholders and, further, that the escalating exercise price structure of the options (the options are grouped in three tranches which have exercise pricesof $15.00, $30.00 and $50.00 per share, respectively) would provide a strong incentive for Mr. McGurk to improve stock performance. Mr. McGurk and theCompany entered into a new employment agreement in August 2013, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. McGurk received a bonus of $250,000 anda grant of stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a price of $14.00 per share and vesting in three equal annual installments.In addition, Mr. McGurk was entitled to receive a retention bonus of $750,000, payable in three equal installments on March 31 of each of 2015, 2016 and2017 in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.A summary of Mr. McGurk’s compensation package is located under the heading “Employment agreements and arrangements between the Company andNamed Executives” of this Item.Employment Agreement for Mr. McGurk and Employment Arrangements for other NEOsThe Company currently provides an employment agreement to Mr. McGurk and employment arrangements to Messrs. Edell and Sondheim, for retentionduring periods of uncertainty and operational challenge. Additionally, the employment agreement and employment arrangements include non-compete andnon-solicitation provisions. The provisions for severance benefits are at typical competitive levels. See “Employment agreements and arrangements betweenthe Company and Named Executives” of48this Item for a description of the material terms of Mr. McGurk’s employment agreement and Messrs. Edell's and Sondheim’s employment arrangements.Personal Benefits and PerquisitesIn addition to the benefits provided to all employees and grandfathered benefits (provided to all employees hired before January 1, 2005), named executivesare eligible for an annual physical and supplemental life insurance coverage of $200,000.It is the Company’s policy to provide minimal and modest perquisites to the named executives. With the new employment arrangements, most perquisitespreviously provided, including automobile allowances, have been eliminated.Policy on Deductibility of CompensationSection 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers named in thisproxy statement, unless certain requirements are met. No element of the Company’s compensation, including the annual incentive awards and restrictedstock, meets these requirements. Given the Company’s net operating losses, Section 162(m) is not currently a material factor in designing compensation.Recoupment (“Clawback”) PolicyThe Company intends to recapture compensation as currently required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and as may be required by the rules promulgated inresponse to Dodd-Frank. However, there have been no instances to date where it needed to recapture any compensation.Additionally, we recognize that our compensation program will be subject to the forthcoming amendments to stock exchange listing standards required bySection 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires that stock exchange listing standards be amended to require issuers to adopt a policy providing for therecovery from any current or former executive officer of any incentive-based compensation (including stock options) awarded during the three-year periodprior to an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance of the issuer with financial reporting requirements. We intend to adopt such aclawback policy which complies with all applicable standards when such rules become available. Restriction on Speculative TransactionsThe Company’s Insider Trading and Disclosure Policy restricts employees and directors of the Company from engaging in speculative transactions inCompany securities, including short sales, and discourages employees and directors of the Company from engaging in hedging transactions, including“cashless” collars, forward sales, and equity swaps, that may indirectly involve short sales. Pre-clearance by the Company is required for any such transaction.COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORTThe following report does not constitute soliciting material and is not considered filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by the Companyunder the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that precedes this Report asrequired by Item 402(b) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

Tenant agrees that Landlord’sforbearance in insisting in any instance upon the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained inthis Lease or by the 1901 Landlord with respect to the 1901 Lease, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the futureof such covenant or agreement, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect.Section 3.4 Tenant’s Payment of Certain Taxes. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt ofLandlord’s invoices and substantiating documentation from Landlord, reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any and all taxes,surcharges, levies, assessments, fees and charges payable by Landlord when:9a) assessed on, measured by, or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixturesand other personal property located in the Premises;b) Assessed on or measured by any rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax, grossreceipts tax, or excise tax levied by the City or County of Los Angeles or any other governmental body with respect to the receipt ofsuch rent (computed as if such rent were the only income of Landlord), but solely when levied by the appropriate City or Countyagency in lieu of, or as an adjunct to, such business license(s), fees or taxes as would otherwise have been payable by Tenant directlyto such taxing authority;c) Assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair,use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; ord) Assessed solely because Landlord and Tenant entered into this transaction or executed any document transferringan interest in the Premises to Tenant. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant so to reimburse Landlord, the rent payable to Landlord underthis Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same rent after imposition of any such tax as would have been payable to Landlord priorto the imposition of any such tax.Said taxes shall be due and payable whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of Landlord and Tenant.Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the provisions of this Section 3.4 serve to entitle Landlord to reimbursement from Tenantfor any federal, state, county or city income tax payable by Landlord or the managing agent of Landlord.Section 3.5 Certain Adjustments.

The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable settlementagainst the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute awaiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights andremedies available to Landlord.Every installment of Fixed Monthly Rent and Additional Rent and any other payment due hereunder from Tenant to Landlordwhich is not paid within twelve (12) days after the same becomes due and payable shall, in addition to any Late Charge already paidby Tenant, bear interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum from the date that the same originally became due and payable untilthe date it is paid.
