1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. Since our inception, we have played a role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media and entertainment landscape.

Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third party distributors of content on platforms.

The Company’s streaming technology platform, known as MatchpointTM, is a software-based streaming operating platform which provides clients with AVOD, SVOD, transactional video on demand ("TVOD") and linear capabilities, automates the distribution of content, and features a robust data analytics platform.

We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Highlander, as well as international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, and Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

 

Our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNVS.”

 

Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

We have a history of net losses and we may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $509 million and a working capital deficit of $1.2 million. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss attributable to Common Stockholders of $1.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.4 million, which included $1.7 million of incremental investment in our content portfolio via advances or minimum guarantee payouts.

The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended, with EWB providing for a $7.5 million Line of Credit Facility, guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Line of Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, equal to 9.5% as of September 30, 2024. The Line of Credit Facility matures on September 15, 2025. As of September 30, 2024, $4.6 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility, net of unamortized issuance costs of $180 thousand.

 

On April 5, 2024, Cineverse Terrifier LLC (“T3 Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BondIt LLC (“T3 Lender”) and the Company, as a guarantor (the “T3 Loan Agreement”). The T3 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan with a principal amount not to exceed $3,666 thousand (the “T3 Loan”), and a maturity date of April 1, 2025, unless extended for 120 days under certain conditions. The T3 Loan bears no interest until the maturity date other than an interest advance equal to $576 thousand paid at the closing of the T3 Loan on April 5, 2024. After the principal of the T3 Loan is paid in full, the T3 Lender will be entitled to receive 15% of all royalties earned by the Company on the film titled Terrifier 3 (the "Film") under its distribution agreements until the T3 Lender has received 1.75 times of the full commitment amount of $3,666 thousand consisting of principal plus interest and fees advanced to the T3 Borrower, plus any

extension interest. The T3 Loan is presented as current within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and has a balance of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2024. See Note 5 - Debt, for further information.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold for an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million. The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the continuing effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-273098) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 25, 2024, and other customary closing conditions. The Company will pay the Sales Agents a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement and has not sold any shares through the date of this report.

 

The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisition, from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, short term content advances were $10.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and content advances, net of the current portion, were $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

 

Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use existing capital resources and/or undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs. We believe our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and availability under our Line of Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

 

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cineverse Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company following the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain columns and rows may not foot due to the use of rounded numbers.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We own an 85% interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

 

Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company manages its operations and its business in one reporting segment.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 

Property and Equipment, Net

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

 

Computer equipment and software

 

3 - 5 years

Internal use software

 

3 - 5 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3 - 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

2 - 7 years

 

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.

Capitalized Content

 

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are capitalized as Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

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

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

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company annually assesses goodwill for potential impairment during its fourth fiscal quarter, or sooner if events occur or circumstances would indicate it would be more likely than not that fair value would be reduced below its carrying amount. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14 million. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Equity Investment in Metaverse

The Company has an equity investment in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

After a period of time when trading in Metaverse's ordinary shares had been halted, the resumption of active trading status in November 2023 represented renewed availability of quoted, unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets, upon which the Company can execute a sale and readily access pricing information at the measurement date. Accordingly, the Company has presented the fair value of its Metaverse shares held as of March 31, 2024 within the Level 1 grouping. The fair value of the shares held is presented within Other long term assets and as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Earnout Consideration on Purchase of Business

Prior to the completion of the earnout period at the end of fiscal year 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of its earnout liability using contractual inputs from the related business combination, which established specific fiscal year revenue growth, profitability and EBITDA targets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company made its final earnout payment reducing the earnout liability as of September 30, 2024 to $0.

 

Content Advances

 

Content advances represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record a provision for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable. Amounts which are expected to be recovered in more than 12 months are classified as long term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were $1.5 million and $2.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in our reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $27 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30-to-90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

The Company's Streaming and digital revenue pertains to its OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue and the sale of DVD's. Podcast and other revenue primarily relate to the Company's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations from these revenue sources, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.

 

Other non-recurring revenue relates to the Company's legacy digital cinema operations, whose operations have run-off, still may generate non-recurring revenue from the sale of cinema assets or the recognition of variable consideration as the associated uncertainty associated with the revenue is resolved.

 

The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations

Revenue earned from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

 

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

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

 

We recognize accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that we recognize revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances are variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in its provision for credit losses of $30 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we did not recognize any credit losses as part of its ongoing operations or reversals of previously recorded provisions.

 

A summary of the movements of our allowances for credit losses follows (in thousands):

Contract Liabilities

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, such as the sale of DVDs with future release dates, even if amounts are refundable. Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are generally not long-term in nature.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In each period, the additions to our deferred revenue balance are due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions are due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

 

Participations and Royalties Payable

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

Concentrations

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, customers that individually account for greater than 10% collectively represented 45% (three customers) and 32% (two customers) of consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, one customer represented 25% and 24% of consolidated revenues, respectively.

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, reserves against advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and SARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

Income Taxes

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

 

Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States and India.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Earnings per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to Common Stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

LEASES

 

Cineverse is a virtual company with one domestic operating lease, acquired through the acquisition of DMR which property is subleased to a third party. The Company has not been relieved of the original lease obligation and therefore recognizes both a lease liability and right-of-use asset as part of the arrangement. The end of both the original lease and sublease's term is January 2025. In addition, the Company has two operating leases related to its Cineverse India operations, with expiration dates in July 2027. Expenses related to these leases were $117 thousand and $233 thousand during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $121 thousand and $236 thousand during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively

 

The Company recognized $46 thousand and $92 thousand of income related to its subleasing arrangement during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $45 thousand and $90 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions. We recognized income tax expense of $6 thousand and $13 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We recognized income tax expense of $16 thousand and $36 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Our income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing.

 

We have not recorded tax benefits on our loss before income taxes because we have provided for a full valuation allowance that offsets potential deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards, reflecting our inability to use such loss carry forwards.

 

Our effective tax rate was (0.5)% and (0.3)% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and (5.3)% and (1.0)% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. Since our inception, we have played a role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media and entertainment landscape.

 

The Company has a long legacy in using technology to transform the entertainment industry and played a pioneering role in transitioning movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution. Over the past several years, Cineverse has transformed itself from being a digital cinema equipment and physical content distributor to a leading independent streaming company.

 

Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third party distributors of content on platforms.

 

The Company’s streaming technology platform, known as MatchpointTM, is a software-based streaming operating platform which provides clients with AVOD, SVOD, transactional video on demand ("TVOD") and linear capabilities, automates the distribution of content, and features a robust data analytics platform.

 

We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Highlander, as well as international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, and Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

We have a history of net losses and we may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $509 million and a working capital deficit of $1.2 million. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss attributable to Common Stockholders of $1.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.4 million, which included $1.7 million of incremental investment in our content portfolio via advances or minimum guarantee payouts.

 

The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended, with EWB providing for a $7.5 million Line of Credit Facility, guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Line of Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, equal to 9.5% as of September 30, 2024. The Line of Credit Facility matures on September 15, 2025. As of September 30, 2024, $4.6 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility, net of issuance costs of $180 thousand.

 

On April 5, 2024, T3 Borrower, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the T3 Loan Agreement with the T3 Lender, and the Company as guarantor. The T3 Loan Agreement provides for the T3 Loan with a principal amount not to exceed $3.7 million, and a maturity date of April 1, 2025, with a permitted extension of the term for 120 days under certain conditions. The T3 Loan bears no interest until the maturity date other than an interest advance equal to $576 thousand at the closing of the T3 Loan on April 5, 2024. The interest advance was recorded as a discount on the T3 Loan at inception and will be amortized to interest expense and increase the loan amount over its term. If the T3 Loan is extended as noted above, the T3 Loan will bear interest at a rate of 1.44% per month. The T3 Borrower may prepay the obligations under the T3 Loan, in full or in part, without penalty or premium. The proceeds under the T3 Loan Agreement are being used for the funding under the Company’s distribution arrangements for the film titled Terrifier 3 (the “Film”). The T3 Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, representation and warranties and events of default. The T3 Loan is presented as current within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and has a balance of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2024.

 

After the principal of the T3 Loan is paid in full, the T3 Lender will be entitled to receive 15% of all royalties earned by the Company on the Film under its distribution agreements for the Film until the T3 Lender has received 1.75 times the full commitment amount of $3.7 million, consisting of the principal amount plus interest and fees advanced to T3 Borrower, plus any extension interest. The T3 Loan is secured by a first priority interest in all of T3 Borrower’s rights and interest in the Film and the distribution agreements, including the proceeds to the T3 Borrower from the distribution of the Film. We expect the T3 Loan to be fully paid off in December 2024 from Film proceeds.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold for an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million. The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the continuing effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-273098) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 25, 2024, and other customary closing conditions. The Company will pay the Sales Agents a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement and has not sold any shares through the date of this report.

 

The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisition, from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, short term content advances were $10.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and content advances, net of current portion, were $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

 

Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use existing capital resources and/or undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs. We believe our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and availability under our Line of Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that these policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, total revenue declined by $0.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Streaming and digital revenue increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to: (i) the $1.6 million license fee revenue related to the licensing of the Dog Whisperer content, and offset by (ii) the unfavorable impact of other content releases' timing relative to the same period in the prior year.

 

Podcast and other revenue grew by $0.6 million due to the success of the Company's Bloody Disgusting podcast content.

 

Base distribution revenue increased by $0.8 million mainly due to the favorable physical returns reserves adjustments for the quarter.

 

Other non-recurring revenue is related to the Company's legacy digital cinema equipment business ("Digital Cinema") as its operations continue to run-off. Digital Cinema revenue decreased $2.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company doesn't anticipate future revenue related to the Digital Cinema business.

Interest Expense, Net

For the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, interest expense increased by $278 thousand from $490 thousand to $768 thousand primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances and increased interest rates in 2024.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Specifically, the adjustments are primarily driven by net cash outflows related to content advances made to partners for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months and operating prepayments, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, the collection of the Company's ERTC claim, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Operating cash flows are typically seasonally lower during the first two fiscal quarters and higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season.

 

Cash used in investing activities was used in the expenditures towards long-lived assets as well as the sale of equity securities.

 

Cash provided by financing activities were primarily due to the receipt of funds from the T3 Loan offset by a net $1.6 million repayment of the Line of Credit Facility, $0.3 million net payment of deferred acquisition consideration and $0.2 million used to repurchase outstanding shares.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, recovery for doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation, including capitalized content spend and other changes in working capital. Operating cash flows are typically seasonally lower during the first two fiscal quarters and higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters, resulting from revenues earned during the holiday season. In addition, we made net advances of $5.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, as part of the advances we make on theatrical releases and to certain home entertainment distribution clients for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months. Cash used in investing activities was used in the expenditures towards long-live intangible assets and fixed assets. Cash provided by financing activities pertained to the issuance of company equity, net of financing fees.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. Since our inception, we have played a role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media and entertainment landscape.

Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third party distributors of content on platforms.

The Company’s streaming technology platform, known as MatchpointTM, is a software-based streaming operating platform which provides clients with AVOD, SVOD, transactional video on demand ("TVOD") and linear capabilities, automates the distribution of content, and features a robust data analytics platform.

We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Highlander, as well as international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, and Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.

 

Our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNVS.”

Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

We have a history of net losses and we may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $509 million and a working capital deficit of $1.2 million. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss attributable to Common Stockholders of $1.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.4 million, which included $1.7 million of incremental investment in our content portfolio via advances or minimum guarantee payouts.

The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended, with EWB providing for a $7.5 million Line of Credit Facility, guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Line of Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, equal to 9.5% as of September 30, 2024. The Line of Credit Facility matures on September 15, 2025. As of September 30, 2024, $4.6 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility, net of unamortized issuance costs of $180 thousand.

 

On April 5, 2024, Cineverse Terrifier LLC (“T3 Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BondIt LLC (“T3 Lender”) and the Company, as a guarantor (the “T3 Loan Agreement”). The T3 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan with a principal amount not to exceed $3,666 thousand (the “T3 Loan”), and a maturity date of April 1, 2025, unless extended for 120 days under certain conditions. The T3 Loan bears no interest until the maturity date other than an interest advance equal to $576 thousand paid at the closing of the T3 Loan on April 5, 2024. After the principal of the T3 Loan is paid in full, the T3 Lender will be entitled to receive 15% of all royalties earned by the Company on the film titled Terrifier 3 (the "Film") under its distribution agreements until the T3 Lender has received 1.75 times of the full commitment amount of $3,666 thousand consisting of principal plus interest and fees advanced to the T3 Borrower, plus any

extension interest. The T3 Loan is presented as current within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and has a balance of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2024. See Note 5 - Debt, for further information.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold for an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million. The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the continuing effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-273098) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 25, 2024, and other customary closing conditions. The Company will pay the Sales Agents a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement and has not sold any shares through the date of this report.

The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisition, from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, short term content advances were $10.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and content advances, net of the current portion, were $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

 

Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use existing capital resources and/or undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs. We believe our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and availability under our Line of Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

 

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cineverse Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company following the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain columns and rows may not foot due to the use of rounded numbers.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

We own an 85% interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

 

Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company manages its operations and its business in one reporting segment.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 

Property and Equipment, Net

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

 

Computer equipment and software

 

3 - 5 years

Internal use software

 

3 - 5 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3 - 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

2 - 7 years

 

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

 

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.

 

Amortization lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Capitalized Content

 

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are capitalized as Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

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

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

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company annually assesses goodwill for potential impairment during its fourth fiscal quarter, or sooner if events occur or circumstances would indicate it would be more likely than not that fair value would be reduced below its carrying amount. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14 million. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

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

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

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

 

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

 

The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities (in thousands):

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

 

Equity Investment in Metaverse

The Company has an equity investment in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

After a period of time when trading in Metaverse's ordinary shares had been halted, the resumption of active trading status in November 2023 represented renewed availability of quoted, unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets, upon which the Company can execute a sale and readily access pricing information at the measurement date. Accordingly, the Company has presented the fair value of its Metaverse shares held as of March 31, 2024 within the Level 1 grouping. The fair value of the shares held is presented within Other long term assets and as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Earnout Consideration on Purchase of Business

Prior to the completion of the earnout period at the end of fiscal year 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of its earnout liability using contractual inputs from the related business combination, which established specific fiscal year revenue growth, profitability and EBITDA targets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company made its final earnout payment reducing the earnout liability as of September 30, 2024 to $0.

 

Content Advances

 

Content advances represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record a provision for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable. Amounts which are expected to be recovered in more than 12 months are classified as long term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were $1.5 million and $2.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in our reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $27 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.

Deferred Consideration

 

The Company has recognized liabilities related to deferred consideration arrangements related to the acquisition of FoundationTV ("FTV") and Digital Media Rights ("DMR"). These payments are fixed in nature and are due to the sellers of the respective companies. The Company initially recognized the liability at fair value at the time of acquisition and has since recognized interest expense related to accretion in advance of the ultimate settlement of these liabilities. Amounts due within 12 months under the terms of the agreements are classified as current within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of DMR is payable in either shares of Common Stock or cash, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. A final payment of $2.4 million is due in March 2025.

 

The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of FTV is payable in cash and up to 25% in shares of Common Stock, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. The final payment is due in June 2025.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30-to-90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

The Company's Streaming and digital revenue pertains to its OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue and the sale of DVD's. Podcast and other revenue primarily relate to the Company's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations from these revenue sources, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.

 

Other non-recurring revenue relates to the Company's legacy digital cinema operations, whose operations have run-off, still may generate non-recurring revenue from the sale of cinema assets or the recognition of variable consideration as the associated uncertainty associated with the revenue is resolved.

 

The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations

Revenue earned from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

 

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

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

 

We recognize accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that we recognize revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances are variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in its provision for credit losses of $30 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we did not recognize any credit losses as part of its ongoing operations or reversals of previously recorded provisions.

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, such as the sale of DVDs with future release dates, even if amounts are refundable. Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are generally not long-term in nature.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In each period, the additions to our deferred revenue balance are due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions are due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

 

Participations and Royalties Payable

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

Concentrations

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, customers that individually account for greater than 10% collectively represented 45% (three customers) and 32% (two customers) of consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, one customer represented 25% and 24% of consolidated revenues, respectively.

 

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, reserves against advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and SARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

Income Taxes

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

 

Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States and India.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Earnings per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to Common Stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

LEASES

 

Cineverse is a virtual company with one domestic operating lease, acquired through the acquisition of DMR which property is subleased to a third party. The Company has not been relieved of the original lease obligation and therefore recognizes both a lease liability and right-of-use asset as part of the arrangement. The end of both the original lease and sublease's term is January 2025. In addition, the Company has two operating leases related to its Cineverse India operations, with expiration dates in July 2027. Expenses related to these leases were $117 thousand and $233 thousand during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $121 thousand and $236 thousand during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions. We recognized income tax expense of $6 thousand and $13 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We recognized income tax expense of $16 thousand and $36 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Our income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing.

 

We have not recorded tax benefits on our loss before income taxes because we have provided for a full valuation allowance that offsets potential deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards, reflecting our inability to use such loss carry forwards.

 

Our effective tax rate was (0.5)% and (0.3)% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and (5.3)% and (1.0)% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Consolidation

 

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cineverse Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company following the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain columns and rows may not foot due to the use of rounded numbers.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

We own an 85% interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and Equipment, Net

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

 

Computer equipment and software

 

3 - 5 years

Internal use software

 

3 - 5 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3 - 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

2 - 7 years

 

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.

Capitalized Content

Capitalized Content

 

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are capitalized as Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

Goodwill

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

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

The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company annually assesses goodwill for potential impairment during its fourth fiscal quarter, or sooner if events occur or circumstances would indicate it would be more likely than not that fair value would be reduced below its carrying amount. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14 million. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

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

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

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

 

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

 

The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities (in thousands):

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are financial instruments and are recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets.

Equity Investment in Metaverse

The Company has an equity investment in A Metaverse Company (“Metaverse”), a publicly traded Chinese entertainment company, formerly Starrise Media Holdings Limited, whose ordinary shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

After a period of time when trading in Metaverse's ordinary shares had been halted, the resumption of active trading status in November 2023 represented renewed availability of quoted, unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets, upon which the Company can execute a sale and readily access pricing information at the measurement date. Accordingly, the Company has presented the fair value of its Metaverse shares held as of March 31, 2024 within the Level 1 grouping. The fair value of the shares held is presented within Other long term assets and as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Earnout Consideration on Purchase of Business

Prior to the completion of the earnout period at the end of fiscal year 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of its earnout liability using contractual inputs from the related business combination, which established specific fiscal year revenue growth, profitability and EBITDA targets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company made its final earnout payment reducing the earnout liability as of September 30, 2024 to $0.

Prepaid and Other Current Assets

Content Advances

 

Content advances represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record a provision for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable. Amounts which are expected to be recovered in more than 12 months are classified as long term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were $1.5 million and $2.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in our reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $27 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.

Deferred Consideration

Deferred Consideration

 

The Company has recognized liabilities related to deferred consideration arrangements related to the acquisition of FoundationTV ("FTV") and Digital Media Rights ("DMR"). These payments are fixed in nature and are due to the sellers of the respective companies. The Company initially recognized the liability at fair value at the time of acquisition and has since recognized interest expense related to accretion in advance of the ultimate settlement of these liabilities. Amounts due within 12 months under the terms of the agreements are classified as current within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of DMR is payable in either shares of Common Stock or cash, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. A final payment of $2.4 million is due in March 2025.

 

The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of FTV is payable in cash and up to 25% in shares of Common Stock, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. The final payment is due in June 2025.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30-to-90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

The Company's Streaming and digital revenue pertains to its OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue and the sale of DVD's. Podcast and other revenue primarily relate to the Company's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations from these revenue sources, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.

 

Other non-recurring revenue relates to the Company's legacy digital cinema operations, whose operations have run-off, still may generate non-recurring revenue from the sale of cinema assets or the recognition of variable consideration as the associated uncertainty associated with the revenue is resolved.

 

The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations

Revenue earned from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:

which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

 

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Credit Losses

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

 

We recognize accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that we recognize revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances are variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in its provision for credit losses of $30 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we did not recognize any credit losses as part of its ongoing operations or reversals of previously recorded provisions.

 

A summary of the movements of our allowances for credit losses follows (in thousands):

Contract Liabilities

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, such as the sale of DVDs with future release dates, even if amounts are refundable. Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are generally not long-term in nature.

The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In each period, the additions to our deferred revenue balance are due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions are due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

 

Participations and Royalties Payable

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

Concentrations

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, customers that individually account for greater than 10% collectively represented 45% (three customers) and 32% (two customers) of consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, one customer represented 25% and 24% of consolidated revenues, respectively.

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, reserves against advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and SARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

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

 

Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States and India.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to Common Stockholders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
