1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”).  On September 30, 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved a change in the Company’s name from Access Integrated Technologies, Inc., to Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. and such change was effected October 5, 2009.  The Company provides technology solutions, financial services and advice, software services, electronic delivery and content distribution services to owners and distributors of digital content to movie theatres and other venues.  Beginning September 1, 2009, the Company made changes to its organizational structure which impacted its reportable segments, but did not impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company realigned its focus to five primary businesses as follows: the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), services (“Services”), media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”) and other (“Other”).  The Company’s Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company’s digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide.  The Company’s Services segment provides services and support to the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as to other third party customers.  Included in these services are asset management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment; software license, maintenance and consulting services; and electronic content delivery services via satellite and hard drive to the motion picture industry.  These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog (film) to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide.  The Company’s Content & Entertainment segment provides content distribution services to alternative and theatrical content owners and to theatrical exhibitors and in-theatre advertising.  The Company’s Other segment provides motion picture exhibition to the general public, information technology consulting and managed network monitoring services and hosting services and network access for other web hosting services (“Access Digital Server Assets”).  Overall, the Company’s goal is to aid in the transformation of movie theatres to entertainment centers by providing a platform of hardware, software and content choices. Additional information related to the Company’s reporting segments can be found in Note 9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, USE OF ESTIMATES AND CONSOLIDATION

The Company has incurred net losses historically and has an accumulated deficit of $146,474 as of September 30, 2009. The Company also has significant contractual obligations related to its recourse and non-recourse debt for the remaining part of fiscal year 2010 and beyond. Management expects that the Company will continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future.  Based on the Company’s cash position at September 30, 2009, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through September 30, 2010. In August 2009, the Company entered into a private placement of a senior secured note and extinguished its existing senior notes, which provided net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, funding of an interest reserve and transactions fees and expenses of approximately $11,300 of working capital funding.  The Company has signed commitment letters for additional non-recourse debt capital, primarily to meet equipment requirements related to the Company’s Phase II Deployment (see Note 11). Although the Company recently entered into certain agreements related to the Phase II Deployment (see Note 7), there is no assurance that financing for the Phase II Deployment will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to the Company or its existing stockholders. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments which may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the interim reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  They do not include all disclosures normally

made in financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, the results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the respective interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on June 15, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).

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

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the carrying values of its long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, revenue recognition and capitalization of software development costs. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets were reclassified to break out the recourse and non-recourse notes payable to conform to the current period presentation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment

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

Phase 2 DC’s agreements with distributors require the payment of VPFs, according to a defined fee schedule, for 10 years from the date each system is installed; however, Phase 2 DC may no longer collect VPFs once “cost recoupment,” as defined in the agreements, is achieved.  Cost recoupment will occur once the cumulative VPFs and other cash receipts collected by Phase 2 DC have equaled the total of all cash outflows, including the purchase price of all Systems, all financing costs, all “overhead and ongoing costs”, as defined and including the Company’s service fees, subject to maximum agreed upon amounts during the three-year rollout period and thereafter, plus a compounded return on any billed but unpaid overhead and ongoing costs, of 15% per year.  Further, if cost recoupment occurs before the end of the eighth contract year, a one-time “cost recoupment bonus” is payable by the studios to Cinedigm.  Any other cash flows, net of expenses, received by Phase 2 DC following the achievement of cost recoupment are required to be returned to the distributors on a pro-rata basis. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the timing or probability of the achievement of cost recoupment.

 
6
 

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

Services

For software multi-element licensing arrangements that do not require significant production, modification or customization of the licensed software, revenue is recognized for the various elements as follows: revenue for the licensed software element is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the licensed software product, as that represents the culmination of the earnings process and the Company has no further obligations to the customer, relative to the software license. Revenue earned from consulting services is recognized upon the performance and completion of these services. Revenue earned from annual software maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance term (typically one year).

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

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

Content & Entertainment

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

The right to sell and display such advertising, or other in-theatre programs, products and services, is based upon advertising contracts with exhibitors which stipulate payment terms to such exhibitors for this right. Payment terms generally consist of fixed annual payments or annual minimum guarantee payments, plus a revenue share of the excess of a percentage of advertising revenue over the minimum guarantee, if any.  The Company recognizes the cost of fixed and minimum guarantee payments on a straight-line basis over each advertising contract year, and the revenue share cost, if any, in accordance with the terms of the advertising contract.

Barter advertising revenue is recognized for the fair value of the advertising time surrendered in exchange for alternative content.  The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both Content & Entertainment’s net revenues and direct operating expenses.  There may be a timing difference between the screening of alternative content and the screening of the underlying advertising used to acquire the content.  The acquisition cost is being recorded and recognized as a direct operating expense by CEG when the alternative content is screened, and the underlying advertising is being deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the period such advertising is screened by USM.  The Company has not recorded any net revenues or direct operating expenses related to barter advertising during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

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

 
7
 

all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature films’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.

Other

Movie theatre admission and concession revenues are generated at the Company’s nine-screen digital movie theatre, the Pavilion Theatre. Movie theatre admission revenues are recognized on the date of sale, as the related movie is viewed on that date and the Company’s performance obligation is met at that time. Concession revenues consist of food and beverage sales and are also recognized on the date of sale.

Managed Services’ revenues, which consist of monthly recurring billings pursuant to network monitoring and maintenance contracts, are recognized as revenues in the period the services are provided, and other non-recurring billings are recognized on a time and materials basis as revenues in the period in which the services were provided.

Other revenues, attributable to the Access Digital Server Assets, which consist of monthly recurring billings for hosting and network access fees, are recognized as revenues in the period the services are provided.

Since May 1, 2007, the Company’s three internet data centers (“IDCs”) have been operated by FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”), unrelated third parties, pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although the Company is still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses were being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company and since May 1, 2008, 100% of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia. In June 2009, one of the IDC leases expired, leaving two IDC leases with the Company as lessee.

RESTRICTED INVESTMENT SECURITIES

In connection with the $75,000 Senior Secured Note issued in August 2009 (see Note 5), the Company was required to segregate $11,265 of the proceeds into marketable securities which will be used to repay interest over the next two years.  The Company classifies the marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value.  The maturity dates of these investments coincide with the quarterly interest payment dates through September 2011.  The changes in the value of these securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings when securities mature or are redeemed.  There were realized losses of $2 recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The Company held no available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2009.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made the first scheduled quarterly interest payment in the amount of $715.  Investment securities with a maturity of twelve months or less are classified as short-term; those that mature in greater than twelve months are classified as long-term.  The carrying value and fair value of investment securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2009 were as follows:

DEFERRED COSTS

Deferred costs primarily consist of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), the $55,000 of 10% Senior Notes issued in August 2007 up to August 2009 (see Note 5) and the $75,000 Senior Secured Note issued in August 2009 (see Note 5), which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective debt (see Note 5 for extinguishment of debt).  The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.  Also included in deferred costs is advertising production, post production and technical support costs related to developing and displaying advertising in the amount of $778, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the same period as the related cinema advertising revenues of $4,704 are recognized.

DIRECT OPERATING COSTS

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

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $200 and $441, respectively, and $358 and $766, for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  The Company estimates that the stock-based compensation expense related to current outstanding stock options, using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and current outstanding restricted stock awards will be approximately $1,432 in fiscal 2010.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2009 was $0.55 and $0.57, respectively, and $0.58 and $0.57, for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. There were no stock options exercised during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

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

   
For the Three Months Ended September 30,
    
For the Six Months Ended
September 30,
  
   
        2008
    
      2009
    
        2008
    
        2009
  
Range of risk-free interest rates
     2.7-4.4 %            2.7 %            2.5-5.2 %            2.7 %
Dividend yield
     —       —       —       —  
Expected life (years)
     5       5       5       5  
Range of expected volatilities
     52.6-58.7 %     77.4 %     52.5-58.7 %     77.4 %

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

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

Internal Use Software

The Company accounts for internal use software development costs based on three distinct stages to the software development process for internal use software.  The first stage, the preliminary project stage, includes the conceptual

 
9
 

formulation, design and testing of alternatives.  The second stage, or the program instruction phase, includes the development of the detailed functional specifications, coding and testing.  The final stage, the implementation stage, includes the activities associated with placing a software project into service.  All activities included within the preliminary project stage are considered research and development and expensed as incurred.  During the program instruction phase, all costs incurred until the software is substantially complete and ready for use, including all necessary testing, are capitalized, Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to five years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use.

Software to be Sold, Licensed or Otherwise Marketed

Software development costs that are incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized until the product is available for general release. Amounts capitalized as software development costs are amortized using the greater of revenues during the period compared to the total estimated revenues to be earned or on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to five years. The Company reviews capitalized software costs for impairment on a periodic basis with other long-lived assets.  Amortization of capitalized software development costs, included in direct operating costs, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 amounted to $194 and $161, respectively and $387 and $323 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  At September 30, 2009, there were no unbilled receivables under such customized software development contracts included in unbilled revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. The Company assesses its goodwill for impairment at least annually and in interim periods if certain triggering events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company also reviews possible impairment of finite lived intangible assets annually. During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, no impairment charge was recorded.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consisted of customer relationships and agreements, theatre relationships, covenants not to compete, trade names and trademarks and Federal Communications Commission licenses (for satellite transmission services), which are estimated to have useful lives ranging from two to ten years.  No intangible assets were acquired during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, no impairment charge was recorded.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or conditions exist that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired.  The Company then estimates the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.  An impairment loss will be recognized if for the difference between the fair value (computed based upon) and the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is estimated by computing the expected future discounted cash flows.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, no impairment charge for long-lived assets was recorded.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

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

Basic and diluted net loss per share =
Net loss
  
 
Weighted average number of Common Stock
 outstanding during the period
  

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

The Company incurred net losses for each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 and, therefore, the impact of dilutive potential common shares from outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock, and restricted stock units, totaling 4,360,882 shares and 23,451,352 shares as of September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the computation as it would be anti-dilutive.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES

In April 2008, the Company executed an interest rate swap agreement (the “Interest Rate Swap”) (see Note 5) to limit the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates.  Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in other comprehensive income (a component of stockholders' equity) or in the condensed consolidated statement of operations depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in cash flows or fair value.  The Company has determined that this is not a hedging transaction and changes in the value of its Interest Rate Swap were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 5).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

·  
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
·  
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
·  
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The following table summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the SEC.  Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.  However, references to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to our condensed consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of ASC.

 
11
 

At its September 23, 2009 board meeting, the FASB ratified final EITF consensus on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables (“Issue 08-1”).  This Issue supersedes Issue 00-21 (codified in ASC 605-25).  Issue 08-1 addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables.  It also addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting, when applicable. However, guidance on determining when the criteria for revenue recognition are met and on how an entity should recognize revenue for a given unit of accounting are located in other sections of the Codification.  Issue 08-1 will ultimately be issued as an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that will amend ASC 605-25.  Final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Entities can elect to apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the Issue’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented.  The Company does not believe that revisions to ASC 605-25 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At its September 23, 2009 board meeting, the FASB also ratified final EITF consensus on software revenue recognition (“Issue 09-3”).  This Issue amends ASC 985-605 (formerly SOP 97-2) and ASC 985-605-15-3 (formerly Issue 03-5) to exclude from their scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. That is, the entire product (including the software deliverables and non-software deliverables) would be outside the scope of ASC 985-605 and would be accounted for under other accounting literature. The revised scope of ASC 985-605 (Issue 09-3) will ultimately be issued as an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that will amend the ASC.  The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the Issue’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented. Early application is permitted.  The Company does not believe that ASC 985-605 (Issue 09-3) will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) (which will be codified in ASC 810-10). Revisions to ASC 810-10 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. Revisions to ASC 810-10 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and application of revisions to ASC 810-10 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The KBC Related Facility, the P2 Vendor Note and the P2 Exhibitor Notes are not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC.

As part of the consideration for the purchase price of USM in 2006,  the Company issued an 8% note payable in the principal amount of $1,204 (the “USM Note”) The First USM Note was payable in twelve equal quarterly installments commencing on October 1, 2006 until July 1, 2009. During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company repaid principal of $204 and $221, respectively, on the First USM Note.  As of September 30, 2009, the First USM Note was repaid in full.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of USM, USM had purchased substantially all the assets of SilverScreen Advertising Incorporated (“SilverScreen”) and issued a 3-year, 4% note payable in the principal amount of $333 (the “SilverScreen Note”) as part of the purchase price for SilverScreen. The SilverScreen Note was payable in equal monthly installments until May 2009.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company repaid principal of $28 and $20, respectively, on the SilverScreen Note.  As of September 30, 2009, the SilverScreen Note was repaid in full.

In August 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued 10% Senior Notes (the “2007 Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $55,000 (the “August 2007 Private Placement”). The term of

 
13
 

the 2007 Senior Notes was three years which may be extended for one 6 month period at the discretion of the Company if certain conditions were met.  Interest on the 2007 Senior Notes was payable on a quarterly basis in cash or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, in shares of its Class A Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). In addition, each quarter, the Company issued shares of Class A Common Stock to the Purchasers as payment of additional interest owed under the 2007 Senior Notes based on a formula (“Additional Interest”).  The Company may prepay the 2007 Senior Notes in whole or in part following the first anniversary of issuance of the 2007 Senior Notes, subject to a penalty of 2% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid prior to the two year anniversary of the issuance and a penalty of 1% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid thereafter, and subject to paying the number of shares as Additional Interest that would be due through the end of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes.  The Company and its subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC and its subsidiaries, were prohibited from paying dividends under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes.  Interest expense on the 2007 Senior Notes for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 amounted to $1,375 and $621, respectively and $2,717 and $1,996 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  In August 2009, in connection with the consummation of the 2009 Private Placement (see below), the Company consummated purchase agreements (the “Note Purchase Agreements”) with the holders of all of its outstanding 2007 Senior Notes pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the 2007 Senior Notes, in satisfaction of the principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for an aggregate purchase price of $42,500 in cash.  The source of such aggregate cash payment was the proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement discussed below.  Upon such purchase, the 2007 Senior Notes were canceled and the remaining principal of $12,500 along with unamortized debt issuance costs of $(2,377) and accrued interest of $621 resulted in a $10,744 gain on extinguishment of debt included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
In August 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of Sageview Capital LP (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a Senior Secured Note (the “2009 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 and warrants (the “Sageview Warrants”) to purchase 16,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “2009 Private Placement”).  The remaining proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement after the repayment of existing indebtedness of the Company and one of its subsidiaries, the funding of a cash reserve to pay the cash interest amount required under the 2009 Note for the first two years, the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2009 Private Placement and related transactions, and other general corporate purposes was approximately $11,300.  The 2009 Note has a term of five years, which may be extended for up to one 12 month period at the discretion of the Company if certain conditions are satisfied.  Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the 2009 Note, interest on the 2009 Note is 8% per annum to be accrued as an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Note (“PIK Interest”) and 7% per annum paid in cash.   The Company may prepay the 2009 Note (i) during the initial 18 months of their term, in an amount up to 20% of the original principal amount of the 2009 Note plus accrued and unpaid interest without penalty and (ii) following the second anniversary of issuance of the 2009 Note, subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 7.5% of the principal amount prepaid if the 2009 Note is prepaid prior to the three year anniversary of its issuance, a prepayment penalty of 3.75% of the principal amount prepaid if the 2009 Note is prepaid after such third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of its issuance and without penalty if the 2009 Note is prepaid thereafter, plus cash in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest amount with respect to the principal amount through and including the prepayment date.  The Company is obligated to offer to redeem all or a portion of the 2009 Note upon the occurrence of certain triggering events described in the 2009 Note.  Subject to limited exceptions, the Purchaser may not assign the 2009 Note until the earliest of (a) August 11, 2011, (b) the consummation of a change in control as defined in the 2009 Note or (c) an event of default as defined under the Notes.  The Purchase Agreement also requires the 2009 Note to be guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries, other than AccessDM, Phase 1 DC and its subsidiaries and Phase 2 DC and its subsidiaries and subsidiaries formed after August 11, 2009 which are primarily engaged in the financing or deployment of digital cinema equipment (the "Guarantors"), and that the Company and each Guarantor pledge substantially all of their assets to secure payment on the 2009 Note, except that AccessDM and Phase 1 DC are not required to become Guarantors until such time as certain indebtedness is repaid.  Accordingly, the Company and each of the Guarantors entered into a guarantee and collateral agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) pursuant to which each Guarantor guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the 2009 Note and the Company and each Guarantor pledged substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations.  The Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Sageview Warrants (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  The Purchase Agreement, Note Purchase Agreement, 2009 Note, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement contain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default as are customary for transactions of this type and nature.

CREDIT FACILITIES

In August 2006, Phase 1 DC entered into an agreement with GECC pursuant to which GECC and certain other lenders agreed to provide to Phase 1 DC a $217,000 Senior Secured Multi Draw Term Loan (the “GE Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the GE Credit Facility were used for the purchase and installation of up to 70% of the aggregate purchase price, including all costs, fees or other expenses associated with the purchase acquisition, receipt, delivery, construction and installation of Systems in connection with Phase 1 DC’s deployment and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the GE Credit Facility, and for certain other specified purposes. The remaining cost of the Systems was funded from other sources of capital including contributed equity. Each of the borrowings by Phase 1 DC bears interest, at the option of Phase 1 DC and subject to certain conditions, based on the bank prime loan rate in the United States or the Eurodollar rate, plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.50%, depending on, among other things, the type of rate chosen, the amount of equity contributed into Phase 1 DC and the total debt of Phase 1 DC. Under the GE Credit Facility, Phase 1 DC must pay interest only through July 31, 2008. Beginning August 31, 2008, in addition to the interest payments, Phase 1 DC must repay approximately 71.5% of the principal amount of the borrowings over a five-year period with a balloon payment for the balance of the principal amount, together with all unpaid interest on such borrowings and any fees incurred by Phase 1 DC pursuant to the GE Credit Facility on the maturity date of August 1, 2013. In addition, Phase 1 DC may prepay borrowings under the GE Credit Facility in whole or in part, after July 31, 2007 and before August 1, 2010, subject to paying certain prepayment penalties ranging from 3% to 1%, depending on when the prepayment is made. The GE Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by each of Phase 1 DC’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a first priority perfected security interest on all of the collective assets of Phase 1 DC and the Guarantors, including real estate owned or leased, and all capital stock or

 
15
 

other equity interests in Phase 1 DC and its subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions. The GE Credit Facility is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 1 DC. During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company repaid principal of $3,858 and $18,868, respectively, on the GE Credit Facility.  The 2009 payments include a prepayment of $5,000 in accordance with the GE Fifth Amendment described below, and an additional voluntary prepayment of $2,000.  As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the GE Credit Facility was $166,980 at a weighted average interest rate of 10.7%.

In May 2009, Phase 1 DC entered into the fourth amendment (the “GE Fourth Amendment”) with respect to the GE Credit Facility to (1) increase the interest rate from 4.5% to 6% above the Eurodollar Base Rate; (2) set the Eurodollar Base Rate floor at 2.5%; (3) reduce the required amount to be reserved for the payment of interest from 9 months of forward cash interest to a fixed $6,900, and permitted a one-time payment of $2,600 to be made from Phase 1 DC to its parent Company, AccessDM; (4) increase the quarterly maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis; (5) increase the maximum consolidated senior leverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis; (6) reduce the quarterly minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenants that Phase 1 DC is required to meet on a trailing 12 months basis and (7) add a covenant requiring Phase 1 DC to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $2,000 at all times.  All of the changes contained in the GE Fourth Amendment are effective as of May 4, 2009 except for the covenant changes in (4), (5) and (6) above, which were effective as of March 31, 2009.  In connection with the GE Fourth Amendment, Phase 1 DC paid an amendment fee to GE and the other lenders of approximately $1,000.  The amendment fee was recorded as debt issue costs and is being amortized over the remaining term of the GE Credit Facility.  At September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the GE Credit Facility, as amended.

In August 2009, in connection with the 2009 Private Placement (see Note 5), Phase 1 DC entered into a fifth amendment (the “GE Fifth Amendment”) with respect to the GE Credit Facility, whereby $5,000 of the proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement were used by the Company to purchase capital stock of AccessDM, which in turn used such amount to purchase capital stock of Phase 1 DC. Phase 1 DC then funded the prepayment with respect to the GE Credit Facility. The prepayment is being applied ratably to each of the next 24 successive regularly scheduled monthly amortization payments due under the GE Credit Facility beginning in August 2009.

In October 2009, in connection with the Phase II Deployment, the Company signed commitment letters for financing with GECC and Société Générale (see Note 11).

In April 2008, Phase 1 DC executed the Interest Rate Swap with a counterparty for a notional amount of approximately 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility or an initial amount of $180,000. Under the Interest Rate Swap, Phase 1 DC will effectively pay a fixed rate of 7.3%, to guard against Phase 1 DC’s exposure to increases in the variable interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which took effect commencing August 1, 2008 as required by the GE Credit Facility and will remain in effect until August 2010.  As principal repayments of the GE Credit Facility occur, the notional amount will decrease by a pro rata amount, such that approximately 90% of the remaining principal amount will be covered by the Interest Rate Swap at any time.

Upon any refinance of the GE Credit Facility or other early termination or at the maturity date of the Interest Rate Swap, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap, whether favorable to the Company or not, would be settled in cash with the counterparty.  As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap liability was $3,306.  The change in fair value of the interest rate swap for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 amounted to a loss of $687and a gain of $540, respectively and gains of $1,565 and $1,223 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
 
In May 2008, AccessDM entered into a credit facility with NEC Financial Services, LLC (the “NEC Facility”) to fund the purchase and installation of equipment to enable the exhibition of 3-D live events in movie theatres as part of the Company’s CineLiveSM product offering.  The NEC Facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to approximately $2,000, repayments over a 47 month period, and interest at annual rates ranging from 8.25-8.44%.  As of September 30, 2009, AccessDM has borrowed $569 and the equipment purchased therewith is included in property and equipment.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company repaid principal of $0 and $82, respectively, on the NEC Credit Facility.  As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the NEC Credit Facility was $419.

In December 2008, Phase 2 B/AIX, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Phase 2 DC and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit facility with KBC Bank NV (the “KBC Related Facility”) to fund the purchase of Systems from Barco, Inc. (“Barco”), to be installed in movie theatres as part of the Company’s Phase II Deployment.  The KBC Related Facility provides for borrowings of up to a maximum of $8,900 through December 31, 2009 (the “Draw Down Period”) and requires interest-only payments at 7.3% per annum during the Draw Down Period.  For any funds drawn, the principal is to be repaid in twenty-eight equal quarterly installments commencing in March 2010 (the “Repayment Period”) at an interest rate of 8.5% per annum during the Repayment Period.  The KBC Related Facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty and is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than Phase 2 DC.  As of September 30, 2009, $8,885 has been drawn down on the KBC Related Facility.  Interest expense on the KBC Related Facility for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 amounted to $0 and $152, respectively and $0 and $218 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the KBC Related Facility was $8,885.

At September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

On August 10, 2009, the Company entered into a tax benefit preservation plan (the "Tax Preservation Plan"), dated August 10, 2009, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent.  The Company’s board of directors (the "Board") adopted the Tax Preservation Plan in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on its ability to use net operating loss carryforwards (the "NOLs") to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations.  

On August 10, 2009, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (the "Rights") for each outstanding share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and each outstanding share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, (the "Class B Common Stock," and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock") under the terms of the Tax Preservation Plan.  The dividend is payable to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2009.  Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the "Preferred B Stock") at a price of $6.00, subject to adjustment.  The Rights are not exercisable, and would only become exercisable when any person or group has acquired, subject to certain conditions, beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company did not record the dividends as a 4.99% or more change in the beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock had not occurred.

CAPITAL STOCK

In August 2004, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which may be purchased at prevailing prices from time-to-time in the open market depending on market conditions and other factors.    Under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes (see Note 5), the Company was previously precluded from purchasing shares of its Class A Common Stock.  In a prior year, the Company repurchased 51,440 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $172, including fees, which have been recorded as treasury stock.

Pursuant to the 2007 Senior Notes, in August 2007 the Company issued 715,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Advance Additional Interest Shares”) covering the first 12 months of Additional Interest (see Note 5).  The Company registered the resale of these shares of Class A Common Stock and also registered an additional 1,249,875 shares of Class A Common Stock for future Interest Shares and Additional Interest.  The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on September 26, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 2, 2007.  The Company is recording the value of the Advance Additional Interest Shares of $4,676 to interest expense over the 36 month term of the 2007 Senior Notes.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company recorded $401 and $134, respectively, and $802 and $534 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, to interest expense in connection with the Advance Additional Interest Shares.

In March 2008 and June 2008, the Company issued 548,572 and 635,847 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, as Interest Shares pursuant to the 2007 Senior Notes (see Note 5), which were part of the 1,249,875 shares previously registered on the registration statement on Form S-3 filed on September 26, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 2, 2007 and the additional 500,000 shares registered on the registration statement on Form S-3 filed on May 6, 2008, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 30, 2008.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company did not record any non-cash interest expense in connection with the Interest Shares.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company recorded $1,342 and $186 as non-cash interest expense in connection with the Interest Shares.  No Interest Shares were issued and no interest was paid in cash in September 2009, as the 2007 Senior Notes were cancelled in August 2009.

In connection with the acquisition of CEG in January 2007, CEG entered into a services agreement (the “SD Services Agreement”) with SD Entertainment, Inc. (“SDE”) to provide certain services, such as the provision of shared office space and certain shared administrative personnel.  The SD Services Agreement is on a month-to-month term and requires the Company to pay approximately $18 per month, of which 70% may be paid periodically in the form of Cinedigm Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s option.  In September 2008 and January 2009, the Company issued 22,010 and 70,432 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock, respectively, with a value of $33 and $49, respectively, to SDE as partial payment for such services and resources.

In September 2009, the Company issued 12,815 shares of Class A Common Stock for restricted stock awards that vested.

PREFERRED STOCK

In February 2009, the Company issued eight shares of Series A 10% Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) to two investors.  There is no public trading market for the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock has the designations, preferences and rights set forth in the certificate of designations filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on February 3, 2009 (the “Certificate of Designations”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, holders of Preferred Stock shall have the following rights among others: (1) the holders are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 10% of the Preferred Stock original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). Such dividends shall begin to accrue commencing upon the first date such share is issued and becomes outstanding and shall be payable in cash or, at the Company’s option, by converting the cash amount

 
18
 

of such dividends into Class A Common Stock, and will not be paid until September 30, 2010, as the Company was not permitted to do so under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes and is not so permitted under the 2009 Note, (2) the holders will not have the right to vote on matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation, (3) upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock that may from time-to-time come into existence and which is expressly senior to the rights of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to 100% of the Preferred Stock original issue price (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”), for each share of Preferred Stock held by each such holder, (4) the holders will have no rights with respect to the conversion of the Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or any other security of the Company and (5) the Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time after the second anniversary of the original issue date upon 30 days advance written notice to the holder for a price equal to 110% of the Liquidation Preference, payable in cash or, at the Company’s option, so long as the closing price of the Class A Common Stock is $2.18 or higher (as shall be adjusted for stock splits) for at least 90 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day into Class A Common Stock at the market price, as measured on the original issue date for the initial issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

In connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, to each holder of Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $0.63 per share (the “Preferred Warrants”). The Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning on March 12, 2009 for a period of five years thereafter. The Preferred Warrants are callable by the Company, provided that the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is $1.26 per share, 200% of the applicable exercise price, for twenty consecutive trading days.  The Company allocated $537 of the proceeds from the Preferred Stock issuance to the estimated fair value of the Preferred Warrants.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company’s equity incentive plan (“the Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to employees, outside directors and consultants.

In September 2009, in connection with the Company’s Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 DC entered into master license agreements with two additional exhibitors covering a total of 457 screens, bringing the number of screens licensed by Phase 2 DC to 960.  Both exhibitors will purchase its own equipment through their own financing and pay an upfront activation fee to the Company.  The Company will manage the billing and collection of VPFs and the remittance of a percentage of the VPFs collected, less a servicing fee, to the exhibitors for a ten-year term.

In November 2008, in connection with the Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 DC entered into a supply agreement with Christie, for the purchase of up to 10,000 Systems at agreed upon pricing, as part of the Phase II Deployment.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has purchased 12 Systems under this agreement for $898.

LITIGATION

The Company’s subsidiary, ADM Cinema, was named as a defendant in an action filed on May 19, 2008 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings by Pavilion on the Park, LLC (“Landlord”).  Landlord is the owner of the premises located at 188 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York, known as the Pavilion Theatre.  Pursuant to the relevant lease, ADM Cinema leases the Pavilion Theatre from Landlord and operates it as a movie theatre.

In the complaint, Landlord alleges that ADM Cinema violated its obligations under Article 12 of the lease in that

 
21
 

ADM Cinema failed to comply with an Order of the Fire Department of the City of New York issued on September 24, 2007 calling for the installation of a sprinkler system in the Pavilion Theatre and that such violation constitutes an event of default under the lease.  Landlord seeks to terminate the lease and evict ADM Cinema from the premises and to recover its attorneys’ fees and damages for ADM Cinema’s alleged “holding over” by remaining on the premises. In July 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Landlord to settle this matter whereby the Company would be responsible for 25% of the cost and expenses related to the installation of a sprinkler system. The Company’s share of the cost to install a sprinkler system is estimated to be $100.   As an additional condition of this agreement, any option to renew or extend this lease has been eliminated.  This lease ends on July 31, 2022.
