NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011
($ in thousands, except for per share data)
(Unaudited)

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”).

The Company is a digital cinema services, software and content marketing and distribution company driving the conversion of the exhibition industry from film to digital technology.  The Company provides a digital cinema platform that combines technology solutions, financial advice and guidance, and software services to content owners and distributors and to movie exhibitors.  Cinedigm leverages this digital cinema platform with a series of business applications that utilize the platform to capitalize on the new business opportunities created by the transformation of movie theatres into networked entertainment centers.  The two main applications provided by Cinedigm include (i) its digital entertainment origination, marketing and distribution business focused on alternative content and independent film; and (ii) its operational and analytical software applications.  Historically, the conversion of an industry from analog to digital has created new revenue and growth opportunities as well as an opening for new players to emerge to capitalize on this technological shift.

Our focus is in four primary businesses as follows: the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), digital cinema services (“Services”) and media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”).  The Company’s Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide.  The Company’s Services segment provides services and support to the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as to other third party customers.  Included in these services are asset management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment; software license, maintenance and consulting services; and electronic content delivery services via satellite, hard drive and broadband to the motion picture industry.  These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog (film) to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide.  The Company's Content & Entertainment segment provides content marketing and distribution services to alternative and independent film content owners and to theatrical exhibitors and in-theatre advertising.

Since June 2010, the Company has classified certain businesses as discontinued operations, including the motion picture exhibition to the general public (“Pavilion Theatre”) , information technology consulting services and managed network monitoring services (“Managed Services”), and hosting services and network access for other web hosting services (“Access Digital Server Assets”), which were all separate reporting units previously included in our former "Other" segment. In August 2010, the Company sold both Managed Services and the Access Digital Server Assets. In May 2011, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the Pavilion Theatre to a third party (see Note 3). Overall, the Company’s goal is to aid in the transformation of movie theatres to entertainment centers by providing a platform of hardware, software and content choices. Additional information related to the Company’s reportable segments can be found in Note 9.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, USE OF ESTIMATES AND CONSOLIDATION

The Company has incurred net losses historically and has an accumulated deficit of $204,130 as of June 30, 2011. The Company also has significant contractual obligations related to its recourse and non-recourse debt for fiscal year 2012 and beyond.  Management expects that the Company will continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future.  Based on the Company’s cash position at June 30, 2011, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through at least June 30, 2012. The Company has signed commitment letters for additional non-recourse debt capital, primarily to meet equipment requirements related to the Company’s Phase II Deployment, and there is no assurance that financing for the Phase II Deployment will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to the Company or its existing stockholders. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and

5



the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the interim reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  They do not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements contained in the Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, the results of operations and cash flows in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the respective interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”).

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinedigm, Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM”), Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Software (“Software”), Core Technology Services, Inc. (“Managed Services”)(sold in August 2010), FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Satellite and Support Services (“Satellite”), ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (the “Pavilion Theatre”)(certain assets and liabilities sold in May 2011), Christie/AIX, Inc. d/b/a Cinedigm Digital Cinema (“Phase 1 DC”), PLX Acquisition Corp., UniqueScreen Media, Inc. (“USM”),  Vistachiara Productions, Inc. f/k/a The Bigger Picture, currently d/b/a Cinedigm Content and Entertainment Group  (“CEG”), Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 DC”), Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 B/AIX Corp. (“Phase 2 B/AIX”) and Cinedigm Digital Funding I, LLC (“CDF I”). AccessDM and Satellite are together referred to as the Digital Media Services Division (“DMS”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment

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

Phase 2 DC’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for ten years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the agreements, is achieved.  Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined, and including the Company’s service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter, plus a compounded return on any billed but unpaid overhead and ongoing costs, of 15% per year.  Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to the Company.  Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of cost recoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment.

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

Services

For software multi-element licensing arrangements that do not require significant production, modification or customization of the licensed software, revenue is recognized for the various elements as follows: revenue for the licensed software element is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the licensed software product, as that represents the culmination of the earnings

6



process and the Company has no further obligations to the customer, relative to the software license. Revenue earned from consulting services is recognized upon the performance and completion of these services. Revenue earned from annual software maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance term (typically one year). Revenues relating to customized software development contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion contract method of accounting using the cost to date to the total estimated cost approach.

Revenue is deferred in cases where:  (1) a portion or the entire contract amount cannot be recognized as revenue, due to non-delivery or pre-acceptance of licensed software or custom programming, (2) uncompleted implementation of application service provider arrangements (“ASP Service”), or (3) unexpired pro-rata periods of maintenance, minimum ASP Service fees or website subscription fees. As license fees, maintenance fees, minimum ASP Service fees and website subscription fees are often paid in advance, a portion of this revenue is deferred until the contract ends. Such amounts are classified as deferred revenue and are recognized as earned revenue in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies described above.

Revenues from the delivery of data via satellite and hard drive are recognized upon delivery, as DMS’ performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Exhibitors who will purchase and own Systems using their own financing in the Phase II Deployment, will pay an upfront activation fee of $2 thousand per screen to the Company (the “Exhibitor-Buyer Structure”).  These upfront activation fees are recognized in the period in which these exhibitor owned Systems are ready for content, as the Company has no further obligations to the customer, and are paid from VPFs over approximately one year.  Additionally, the Company recognizes activation fee revenue on Phase 2 DC Systems upon installation and are generally collected upfront upon installation. The Company will then manage the billing and collection of VPFs and will remit all VPFs collected to the exhibitors, less an administrative fee that will approximate 10% of the VPFs collected.

The administrative fee related to the Phase I Deployment approximates 5% of the VPFs collected. This administrative fee is recognized in the period in which the billing of VPFs occurs, as performance obligations have been substantially met at that time.

Content & Entertainment

USM has contracts with exhibitors to display pre-show advertisements on their screens, in exchange for certain fees paid to the exhibitors. USM then contracts with businesses of various types to place their advertisements in select theatre locations, designs the advertisement, and places it on-screen for specific periods of time, generally ranging from three to twelve months.  Cinema advertising service revenue, and the associated direct selling, production and support cost, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the related in-theatre advertising is displayed, pursuant to the specific terms of each advertising contract. USM has the right to receive or bill the entire amount of the advertising contract upon execution, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related advertising revenue and all direct costs actually incurred are deferred until such time as the in-theatre advertising is displayed.

The right to sell and display such advertising, or other in-theatre programs, products and services, is based upon advertising contracts with exhibitors which stipulate payment terms to such exhibitors for this right. Payment terms generally consist of fixed annual payments or annual minimum guarantee payments, plus a revenue share of the excess of a percentage of advertising revenue over the minimum guarantee, if any.  The Company recognizes the cost of fixed and minimum guarantee payments on a straight-line basis over each advertising contract year, and the revenue share cost, if any, in accordance with the terms of the advertising contract.
  
Barter advertising revenue is recognized for the fair value of the advertising time surrendered in exchange for alternative content.  The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both Content & Entertainment’s net revenues and direct operating costs.  There may be a timing difference between the screening of alternative content and the screening of the underlying advertising used to acquire the content.  The acquisition cost is being recorded and recognized as a direct operating cost by CEG when the alternative content is screened, and the underlying advertising is being deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the period such advertising is screened by USM.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded net revenues and direct operating costs related to barter advertising of $0 and $356, respectively.

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

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $735 and $732 as of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

RESTRICTED AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS

In connection with the $75,000 Senior Secured Note issued in August 2009 (see Note 5), the Company was required to segregate a portion of the proceeds into marketable securities which will be used to pay interest over the first two years.  The Company classifies the marketable securities as restricted available-for-sale investments and accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value.

In connection with the $172,500 term loans issued in May 2010 (see Note 5), the Company segregated $3,873 of the proceeds into an account to be used to fund the purchase of satellite equipment for DMS.

Restricted available-for-sale investment securities with a maturity of twelve months or less are classified as short-term and investment securities with a maturity greater than twelve months are classified as long-term. As of June 30, 2011, there were no long-term restricted available-for-sale investments.
  
The changes in the value of these investments are recorded in other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Realized gains and losses are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when securities mature or are redeemed.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were unrealized losses of $21 and $95, respectively. Comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6,414 and $7,154, respectively.

DEFERRED COSTS

Deferred costs primarily consist of unamortized debt issuance costs which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective debt.  The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.  Other deferred costs are advertising production, post production and technical support costs related to developing and displaying advertising that are expensed in conjunction with advertising revenue under advertising contracts.

DIRECT OPERATING COSTS

Direct operating costs consist of facility operating costs such as rent, utilities, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance and other related expenses, direct personnel costs, amortization of capitalized software development costs, exhibitors payments for displaying cinema advertising and other deferred expenses, such as advertising production, post production and technical support related to developing and displaying advertising.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $480 and $690, respectively.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1.26 and $0.91, respectively.  There were 41,155 stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and there were no stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

 The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted under the Company’s stock option plan awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. The Company does not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The Company estimates the expected life of options granted under the Company’s stock option plans using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior, as well as consideration of outstanding options.   The Company estimates expected volatility for options granted under the Company’s stock option plans based on a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock.

Employee stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based awards was as follows for the periods presented:

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily customer relationships, non-compete agreements, patents and software technology, are amortized over their useful lives.

In order to test goodwill, a determination of the fair value of our reporting units is required and is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit and/or the component of the entity being valued. The Company is required to complete an impairment test for goodwill and record any resulting impairment losses at least on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value (“impairment indicators”). This impairment test includes the projection and discounting of cash flows, analysis of our market factors impacting the businesses the Company operates and estimating the fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Estimating future cash flows and determining their present values are based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and appropriate discount rates determined by management.

The Company’s process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of fair value of its goodwill reporting units: Software and CEG.  The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, measured as of March 31, unless triggering events occur which require goodwill to be tested at another date.

Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether the Company’s remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from the reporting unit. The discount rate applied to the projected future cash flows to arrive at the present value is intended to reflect all risks of ownership and the associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows.  The discounted cash flow methodology uses our projections of financial performance for a five-year period.  The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate, the terminal value and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary among reporting units. The discount rates utilized were 16.0% - 27.5% based on the estimated market participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for each unit.  The market participant based WACC for each unit gives consideration to factors including, but not limited to, capital structure, historic and projected financial performance, and size.

The market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk profile relative to the comparable companies as a group.  The most significant assumptions are the market multiplies and the control premium. The Company has elected not to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of impairment testing.

The Company then assigns a weighting to the discounted cash flows and market multiple methodologies to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The income approach is weighted 70% and the market approach is weighted 30% to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.  The weightings are evaluated each time a goodwill impairment assessment is performed and give consideration to the relative reliability of each approach at that time.

Information related to the goodwill allocated to the Company’s continuing operations is detailed below:

See Note 3 for information related to the goodwill allocated to the Company’s discontinued operations.

The fair values derived in our impairment testing assume increases in revenue growth and profitability for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and beyond and continued significant growth in revenue and profitability for the Services segment for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 as a result of increased Systems for our Phase 2 Deployment. The number of Systems, and the use of alternative content on those Systems, are the primary revenue drivers for our goodwill reporting units. Growth in the number of deployed Systems is driven by many factors including audience demand for 3D content, the amount of digital content (including 3D and alternative content such as concerts and sporting events) being made available by the Hollywood studios and content owners, and the adoption rate of digital technology by exhibitors, all of which the Company sees as continuing its strong pace. The strong growth assumed, however, is the primary driver of the use of discount rates comparable to those typically applied to early-stage, venture capital backed companies.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no impairment charge was recorded for goodwill related to the Company's continuing operations.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consisted of customer relationships and agreements, theatre relationships, covenants not to compete, trade names and trademarks and Federal Communications Commission licenses (for satellite transmission services), which are estimated to have useful lives ranging from two to ten years.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company acquired intangible assets of $10 and $0, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no impairment charge was recorded for intangible assets.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.  Upon the sale or other disposition of any property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposal is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or conditions exist that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired.  The Company then estimates the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.  An impairment loss will be recognized if the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no impairment charge for long-lived assets was recorded.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

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

Basic and diluted net loss per common share =
Net loss – preferred dividends
 
Weighted average number of common stock
 outstanding during the period


11



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

The Company incurred net losses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and, therefore, the impact of dilutive potential common shares from outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock, and restricted stock units, totaling 23,454,240 shares and 22,065,591 shares as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the computation as it would be anti-dilutive.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value.  In May 2010, the Company settled the interest rate swap in place with respect to its previous credit facility.  In June 2010, the Company executed three separate interest rate swap agreements (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) to limit the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates related to the 2010 Term Loans.  Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (a component of stockholders' equity) or in the condensed consolidated statement of operations depending on whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting.  The Company has not sought hedge accounting and therefore, changes in the value of its Interest Rate Swaps were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 5).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

 The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Pavilion Theatre generates movie theatre admission and concession revenues. Movie theatre admission revenues are recognized on the date of sale, as the related movie is viewed on that date and the Company's performance obligation is met at that time. Concession revenues consist of food and beverage sales and are also recognized on the date of sale. The Pavilion Theatre, while once a digital cinema test site and showcase for digital cinema technology, was no longer needed in that capacity due to widespread adoption of the technology. Management decided to pursue its sale during the fourth quarter of the year

12



ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, the Company classified the Pavilion Theatre as assets held for sale in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and reported the results of Pavilion Theatre as discontinued operation for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. In May 2011, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the Pavilion Theatre to an unrelated third party. The Company has remained the primary obligor on the Pavilion capital lease, and therefore, the capital lease obligation and related assets under the capital lease remain on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011. The Company has, however, entered into a sub-lease agreement with the unrelated third party purchaser and as such, has no continuing involvement in the operation of the Pavilion Theatre.
 
The Company's other segment consists of Managed Services and Access Digital Server Assets. In August 2010, the Company sold the stock of Managed Services and the Access Digital Server Assets in exchange for $268 in cash and $1,150 in service credits under a 46-month service agreement (the "Managed Services Agreement").

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), which requires an entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This consensus eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires allocation using the relative-

13



selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2009-13 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2009-14”).  ASU 2009-14 amends ASC 985-605, “Software: Revenue Recognition,” such that tangible products, containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of ASC 985-605. It also amends the determination of how arrangement consideration should be allocated to deliverables in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. ASU 2009-14 will become effective for the Company for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2009-14 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements codified within ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the requirements for disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Additionally, these amended standards require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-06 and the additional disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives (“ASU 2010-11”). ASU 2010-11 clarifies the scope exception for embedded credit derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The amendments address how to determine which embedded credit derivative features, including those in collateralized debt obligations and synthetic collateralized debt obligations, are considered to be embedded derivatives that should not be analyzed for potential bifurcation and separate accounting.  The amendments in this pronouncement are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-11 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method (“ASU 2010-17”). ASU 2010-17 establishes criteria for a milestone to be considered substantive and allows revenue recognition when the milestone is achieved in research or development arrangements. In addition, it requires disclosure of certain information with respect to arrangements that contain milestones. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  ASU 2010-17 is effective for the Company prospectively beginning April 1, 2011.  On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-17 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update, which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard April 1, 2012 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard as of April 1, 2012.

Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse with respect to defaults by the Company is limited to the value of the asset, which is collateral for the debt. The KBC Facility, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2 Exhibitor Notes are not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC.  The 2010 Term Loans are not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and CDF I.

In August 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of Sageview Capital LP (“Sageview” or the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a Senior Secured Note (the “2009 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 and warrants (the “Sageview Warrants”) to purchase 16,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “2009 Private Placement”).  The 2009 Note was later amended and restated on May 6, 2010 (as so amended and restated, the “2010 Note”).  The balance of the 2010 Note, net of the discount associated with the issuance of the Sageview Warrants and the interest of 8% per annum on the 2010 Note to be accrued as an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Note (“PIK Interest”), was as follows:

In August 2007, Phase 1 DC obtained $9,600 of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note”) for equipment used in Phase 1 DC’s Phase I Deployment. The Vendor Note bears interest at 11% and may be prepaid without penalty.  Interest is due semi-annually commencing February 2008 and is paid by Cinedigm.  The balance of the Vendor Note, together with all unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of August 1, 2016.  In May 2010, the Vendor Note was repaid in full from the proceeds of the 2010 Term Loans, as discussed below.

In May 2010, CDF I, an indirectly wholly-owned, special purpose, non-recourse subsidiary of the Company, formed in April 2010, entered into a definitive credit agreement (the “2010 Credit Agreement”) with Société Générale, New York Branch (“SocGen”), as co-administrative agent and paying agent for the lenders party thereto and certain other secured parties, and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), as co-administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”).  Pursuant to the 2010 Credit Agreement, CDF I borrowed term loans (the “2010 Term Loans”) in the principal amount of $172,500.  These 2010 Term Loans are non-recourse to the Company.  The proceeds of the 2010 Term Loans were used by CDF I to pay all costs, fees and expenses relating to the transaction and to pay $157,456 to Phase 1 DC, as part of the consideration for the acquisition by CDF I of all of the assets and liabilities of Phase 1 DC pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement between CDF I and Phase 1 DC.  Phase 1 DC acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in CDF I pursuant to this Sale and Contribution Agreement.  Phase 1 DC, in turn, extinguished all of its outstanding obligations with respect to the senior secured multi draw term loan (the “GE Credit Facility”) and the Vendor Note, and its intercompany

15



obligations owed to the Company.   Under the 2010 Credit Agreement, each of the 2010 Term Loans will bear interest, at the option of CDF I and subject to certain conditions, based on the base rate (generally, the bank prime rate) plus a margin of 2.50% or the Eurodollar rate (subject to a floor of 1.75%), plus a margin of 3.50%.  All collections and revenues of CDF I are deposited into special blocked accounts. These amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are only available to pay certain operating expenses, principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses relating to the 2010 Credit Agreement according to certain designated priorities.  On a quarterly basis, if funds remain after the payment of all such amounts, they will be applied to prepay the 2010 Term Loans.  After certain conditions are met, CDF I may use up to 50% of the remaining funds to pay dividends or distributions to Phase 1 DC.  The Company also set up a debt service fund under the 2010 Credit Agreement for future principal and interest payments, classified as restricted cash of $5,753 as of June 30, 2011.

The 2010 Term Loans mature and must be paid in full by April 29, 2016.  In addition, CDF I may prepay the 2010 Term Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, subject to paying certain breakage costs, if applicable.  The 2010 Credit Agreement also requires each of CDF I’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") to guarantee, under a Guaranty and Security  Agreement dated as of May 6, 2010 by and among CDF I, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent (the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”), the obligations under the 2010 Credit Agreement, and all such obligations to be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the collective assets of CDF I and the Guarantors, including real estate owned or leased, and all capital stock or other equity interests in Phase 1 DC, CDF I and CDF I’s subsidiaries.  In connection with the 2010 Credit Agreement, AccessDM, the direct parent of Phase 1 DC, entered into a pledge agreement dated as of May 6, 2010 in favor of the Collateral Agent (the “ADM Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which AccessDM pledged to the Collateral Agent all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Phase 1 DC, and Phase 1 DC entered into a pledge agreement dated as of May 6, 2010 in favor of the Collateral Agent (the “Phase 1 DC Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which Phase 1 DC pledged to the Collateral Agent all of the outstanding membership interests of CDF I.  The 2010 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as well as conditions to borrowings.  The balance of the 2010 Term Loans, net of the original issue discount, was as follows:

In June 2010, CDF I executed three separate Interest Rate Swaps with counterparties for a total notional amount of approximately 66.67% of the amounts to be outstanding at June 15, 2011 under the 2010 Term Loans or an initial amount of $100,000. Under the Interest Rate Swaps, CDF I will effectively pay a fixed rate of 2.16%, to guard against CDF I’s exposure to increases in the variable interest rate under the 2010 Term Loans. SocGen arranged the transaction, which took effect commencing June 15, 2011  as required by the 2010 Term Loans and will remain in effect until at least June 15, 2013.  As principal repayments of the 2010 Term Loans occur, the notional amount will decrease by a pro rata amount, such that approximately $80,000 of the remaining principal amount will be covered by the Interest Rate Swaps at any time. The Company has not sought hedge accounting and therefore, changes in the value of its Interest Rate Swaps are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 2).

The Company has, however, entered into a sub-lease agreement with the unrelated third party purchaser and as such, has no continuing involvement in the operation of the Pavilion Theatre. This capital lease was previously included in discontinued operations.

OVERVIEW

Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”).

The Company is a digital cinema services, software and content marketing and distribution company driving the conversion of the exhibition industry from film to digital technology.  The Company provides a digital cinema platform that combines technology solutions, provides financial advice and guidance, software services and electronic delivery services to content owners and distributors and to movie exhibitors.  Cinedigm leverages this digital cinema platform with a series of business applications that utilize the platform to capitalize on the new business opportunities created by the transformation of movie theaters into networked entertainment centers.  The three main applications currently provided by Cinedigm include (i) its digital entertainment origination, marketing and distribution business focused on alternative content and independent film; (ii) its operational and analytical software applications; and (iii) its pre-show advertising and theatrical marketing business.  Historically, the conversion of an industry from analog to digital has created new revenue and growth opportunities as well as an opening for new players to emerge for capitalizing on this technological shift at the expense of incumbents.

We have four primary businesses as follows: the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), services (“Services”) and media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”).  The Company’s Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide.  The Company’s Services segment provides the digital cinema platform that services and supports the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as is being offered to other third party customers.  Included in these services are asset management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment; software license, maintenance and consulting services; and electronic content delivery services via satellite and hard drive to the motion picture industry.  These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog (film) to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide.  The Company’s Content & Entertainment segment provides content marketing and distribution services to alternative and theatrical content owners and to theatrical exhibitors and in-theatre advertising.  In June 2010, the Company decided to discontinue the motion

24



picture exhibition to the general public, information technology consulting services and managed network monitoring services, and hosting services and network access for other web hosting services, which are all separate reporting units previously included in our former Other segment.    Overall, the Company’s goal is to aid in the transformation of movie theatres to entertainment centers by providing a platform of hardware, software and content choices.

The following organizational chart provides a graphic representation of our four primary businesses:
We have incurred consolidated net losses, including the results of our non-recourse deployment subsidiaries, of $6.4 million and $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $204.1 million as of June 30, 2011. We also have significant contractual obligations related to our non-recourse and recourse debt for the next fiscal year 2012 and beyond. We expect to continue generating consolidated net losses, including our non-recourse deployment subsidiaries, for the foreseeable future. Based on our cash position at June 30, 2011, and expected cash flows from operations, we believe that we have the ability to meet our obligations through at least June 30, 2012. We have signed commitment letters for additional non-recourse debt capital, primarily to meet equipment requirements related to our Phase II Deployment, however there is no assurance that financing for the Phase II Deployment will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to us or our existing stockholders.  Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments which may result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Revenues increased $4.2 million or 21%.  The increase in revenues in the Phase II Deployment segment was due to an increase in the number of Phase 2 DC’s financed Systems installed and ready for content to 874 at June 30, 2011 from 237 at June 30, 2010.  The 93% increase in revenues in the Services segment was primarily due to (i) a 32% increase in DMS revenues, due to a concentration of features released by its customers in the quarter and strong growth in the number of deliveries per feature distributed as industry digital deployments have driven site growth partially offset by an 8% decrease in non-theatrical satellite services revenues as macroeconomic factors reduced revenues from existing customers; (ii) increased Phase 2 DC service fees as 634 Phase 2 DC and Exhibitor-Buyer systems were installed during the quarter and a total of 2,829 installed systems were

25



generating service fees in the quarter; (iii) an 8% increase in Phase 1 DC service fees earned due to higher screen turns during the quarter; and (iv) a 207% increase in Software license fee and maintenance revenues due to the previously described increase in Phase 2 systems deployed as well as an increase in license and maintenance fees from other software customers due to the recently announced new business. We expect continued growth in services from (i) increased deployments from our current backlog as well as from new exhibitor customer signings as we enter the final 15-18 months of the contractual digital cinema deployment period; (ii) additional revenues from recently signed software customers upon installation in the second half of this fiscal year; and (iii) new potential software customers based on our active domestic and international pipeline.

As of June 30, 2011 Cinedigm provides its digital cinema services through both its Phase 2 deployment subsidiary and third party exhibitor-buyer customers to a total of 2,829 Phase 2 DC screens in comparison to 619 at June 30, 2010 and 2,195 at March 31, 2011. Cinedigm also services an additional 3,724 screens in its Phase 1 deployment subsidiary, identical to the number serviced in the previous year. We will deploy additional Phase 2 DC Systems under various non-recourse credit facility commitments and through the Exhibitor-Buyer Structure.

In the Content & Entertainment segment, USM’s in-theatre advertising revenues decreased 13% from the previous year as local advertising revenues declined 5%, national advertising revenues generated by the partnership with Screenvision decreased 44% and non-cash inter-company barter revenues related to content acquisition were eliminated.  The local advertising sales environment continues to be challenging due to macro-economic factors and the national advertising decline was the result of a change of national revenue accrual timing by Screenvision which will shift national revenue recognition to our third and fourth fiscal quarters.  CEG’s content distribution revenues decreased 48% due to an expected reduction in events and independent film distribution in this fiscal quarter in contrast to the prior year which included content distribution-related revenues earned by CEG from events such as PHISH in 3-D and the NCAA Final Four® live 3D sporting event.  The primary driver of CEG revenues is the number of programs CEG is distributing, together with the nationwide (and anticipated worldwide) conversion of theatres to digital capabilities, a trend the Company expects to continue. CEG has recently released several events including Life in a Day with YouTube and National Geographic, John Carpenter's The Ward and a Sarah Palin documentary as well as announced several film and events for the remainder of the fiscal year in including an 8 picture independent movie release agreement with Arc Entertainment.

Direct operating expenses increased 15% tied to our overall revenue increase.  The increase in direct operating costs in the Phase I and Phase II Deployment segments was primarily due to increased property taxes and insurance incurred on deployed Systems. The increase in the Services segment was primarily related to increased DMS feature and trailer hard drive delivery volumes and higher Federal Express delivery rates as well as additional personnel costs to manage our increased delivery volume as well as for software development.  The decrease in the Content & Entertainment segment was primarily related to reduced non-cash content acquisition expenses for CEG related to the fair value of barter advertising provided by USM and a 22% decrease in minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising. We expect direct operating expenses to remain consistent at the current level with any future increases associated with additional revenue growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million or (5)% as corporate expense levels offset the growth at the operating units tied to revenue growth.  The increase in the Services segment was mainly due to payroll and related employee expenses for increased staffing as we added sales resources to support the expanding digital cinema exhibitor sales efforts as well as additional management, software development and quality assurance staff to support the significant recent software customer additions. The increase in the Content & Entertainment segment was related to a budgeted increase in staffing levels within the sales force at USM. The decrease within Corporate was mainly due to the elimination of transition costs related to the retirement of our prior CEO this year compared to $0.9 million in the prior year and partially offset by increased travel costs.  As of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and excluding employees in our discontinued operations, we had 205 and 169 employees, of which 4 and 3 were part-time employees and 65 and 56 were salespersons, respectively.  We expect a modest increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as we support our recent new software business contracts and expanding sales pipeline with additional sales and service headcount.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million or 16%. The increase in the Phase II Deployment segment represents depreciation on the increased number of Phase 2 DC Systems which were not in service during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in the Content & Entertainment segment reflects reduced depreciation expense on assets which are fully depreciated or amortized at June 30, 2011.   We expect the depreciation and amortization expense in the Phase II Deployment and the Services segment to generally increase as new Phase 2 DC Systems and additional satellite systems are installed.
