Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- 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.
Cineverse is a premier technology and entertainment company with its core streaming business operating (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 ("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 Matchpoint™, 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. Through the integration of Giant Worldwide, Matchpoint™ has expanded its automated media services ecosystem by adding audience development, customer acquisition, and direct-to-consumer marketing capabilities supported by longstanding studio relationships and performance marketing expertise.
The Company’s Connected TV (“CTV”) monetization platform provides proprietary location-based digital advertising technology solutions that offer advertisers a targetable, measurable, and accountable way to utilize CTV media and data solutions at scale. The Company also provides solutions for media owners, including an advertising platform for Digital Out-of-Home ("DOOH") networks that enables users to manage advertising inventory, optimize sales, and monetize unsold inventory.
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 incurred net losses historically. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss attributable to Common Stockholders of$5.8 million. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of$515.9 million and negative working capital of$(18.9) million. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was$1.0 million.
The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended on April 8, 2025, with East West Bank (the "Line of Credit Facility") that currently provides for borrowings of up to $12.5 million guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The facility includes provisions that allow for an increase in total borrowing capacity up to $15.0 million, subject to lender approval.
As of June 30, 2026,$11.4 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility. Under the Line of Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants including terms which require the Company to maintain certain metrics and ratios, to maintain certain minimum cash on hand, and to report financial information to our lender on a periodic basis. Please see Note 7 - Debt for further information regarding the Company's Line of Credit Facility.
On February 17, 2026, the Company sold in a public offering an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Offered Shares”) at a price of $2.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, before deducting underwriting commissions and expenses payable by the Company. The Offered Shares were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement with The Benchmark Company, LLC and pursuant to a prospectus and prospectus supplement which are part of the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-273098) filed with the SEC.
On February 12, 2026, the Company issued and sold convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 (each, a “Note”) to certain lenders (individually, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to those certain note purchase agreements (each, a “Purchase Agreement”), dated February 12, 2026, between the Company and each Investor. The Notes mature on the earlier to occur of (i) the four-year anniversary of issuance and (ii) an event of default (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum payable in cash or, as to a portion, in shares of Common Stock in the holder’s discretion. At any time after issuance of the Notes, the Investors may convert their Notes, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Notes at a conversion price per share of $2.00 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to customary adjustments upon any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar events.
The Company can require conversion in tranches of up to approximately 15% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each of the six-month periods beginning July 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028, with any unconverted tranches available on a cumulative basis in future tranches. The Notes may be prepaid by paying 100% of the outstanding principal amount, interest on the outstanding principal amount through the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date that is 24 months from the date of prepayment, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount then outstanding would be convertible at the Conversion Price, with such warrants having an exercise price equal to such Conversion Price and a term that ends on the Maturity Date. The Notes rank junior to secured debt of the Company, including the Line of Credit Facility. In July 2026, an Investor informed the Company of the intent to convert $1,300,000 of principal and unpaid interest of approximately $20 thousand into approximately 660 thousand shares, effective September 2026.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into an at-the-market, or ATM, Sales Agreement (the “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 its Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “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 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 3.00% 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 Sales Agreement. On June 8, 2026, the aggregate authorized offering price under the ATM Sales Agreement was increased to $30 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold 1.0 million shares for net proceeds of $2.5 million, after deduction of commissions and fees.
The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisitions from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, short-term content advances were$6.8 million and$7.5 million, respectively, and content advances, net of current portion, were$8.5 million and$8.2 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. Management's plans with respect to the Company's recurring net losses and net operating cash outflows also include but are not limited to our effort in increasing revenue from existing services as well as offering new services, which may result in additional income from operations. Should management be unsuccessful in executing these plans, additional capital resources will be necessary. There can be no assurance that resources under our Line of Credit Facility or from additional debt or equity resources will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
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, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 26, 2026. 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, 2026. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
As of March 31, 2026, we owned 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. During three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into Stock Exchange Agreements with minority holders of CONtv pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining outstanding ownership interests in CONtv in exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and cash payments. As a result of these transactions, CONtv became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, contingent considerations related to business combinations, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, recovery of content advances, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, estimated royalties payable to content partners, and the assessment of amortization lives to 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 the assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
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, 2026.
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.
Non-monetary Transactions
From time to time, the Company entered into non-monetary transactions for the purchase and sale of content licenses with unrelated third-parties. The fair value of the content licenses purchased are recognized within Intangible Assets, Net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. As functional intellectual property, the Company recognizes the corresponding revenue at the time of delivery to the recipient.
Accounts Receivable, Net
We maintain reserves for expected credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical credit losses, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current and forecasted economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of this allowance.
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.
A summary of the movements of our allowances for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands):
| Allowance for credit losses at the beginning of the year | $622 |
|---|---|
| Increase in estimated provision | 35 |
| Allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 | $657 |
Property and Equipment, Net
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, with useful life ranges by major asset class 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 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 on a straight-line basis. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
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.
Amortization expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
| Content Library | 3 – 20 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Tradenames, Trademarks and Patents | 2 – 15 years | |
| Customer Relationships | ` | 5 – 13 years |
| Advertiser Relationships and Channel | 2 – 13 years | |

Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Wereview 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 wereno impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during thethree months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
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 to the Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
The total consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Please see the Goodwill policy separately outlined below within this footnote.
In certain circumstances, such as a forced sale or bankruptcy of the acquiree, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the total consideration transferred in a business combination, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. The Company recognizes bargain purchase gains in earnings as of the acquisition date.
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. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded during thethree months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
For the period ended and three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's adjustments to goodwill related to the finalization of post-closing working capital estimates.
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 table below summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026(in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Deferred consideration, current portion | — | — | 14,200 | 14,200 |
| Earnout consideration, both current and non-current portion | — | — | 10,600 | 10,600 |
| $— | $— | $24,800 | $24,800 | |
As of March 31, 2026(in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Deferred consideration | — | — | 12,200 | 12,200 |
| Earnout consideration | — | — | 11,250 | 11,250 |
| $— | $— | $23,450 | $23,450 | |
Total Level 3 liabilities increased by $1.4 million from $23.5 million to $24.8 million due to a change in fair value estimate. The fair value change is presented on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement for thethree months ended June 30, 2026.
Deferred Consideration
The Company initially recognizes liabilities related to Deferred Consideration from business combinations at fair value at the time of acquisition 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The deferred consideration associated with the IndiCue Inc ("IndiCue") acquisition, included in the fair value measurement table above, was determined based on a value of approximately $11.3 million at the time of closing and is due within one year of the acquisition date. In addition to contractual inputs, the Company estimated the fair value of this deferred consideration using Level 3 inputs, including the expected forward stock price at settlement and an embedded downside protection mechanism. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the fair value of this liability was $14.2 million and $12.2 million, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The deferred consideration related to the Giant Worldwide acquisition is payable in quarterly cash installments of $0.4 million which commenced on the 3-month anniversary of the Closing Date in April 2026. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the carrying value of this liability is $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, is presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Earnout Consideration
The Company estimated the fair value of its earnout liabilities using both contractual and Level 3 inputs from the related business combination. The specific financial targets required for payment are defined in the IndiCue purchase agreement. The Company also utilizes Level 3 inputs, including the most up to date forecast at each reporting date to estimate the outcome against these targets to determine the ultimate estimated payout, discounted by a rate reflecting the Company’s estimate of a market borrowing rate and incremental spread for similar subordinated obligations.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company acquired IndiCue and as a part of the purchase consideration, may be required to pay up to $18.0 million in earnout payments over the first three fiscal years following the acquisition, contingent upon the achievement of specified revenue and gross margin targets. The earnout payments will be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock under certain conditions. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the fair value of this liability was $10.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
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 within 12 months are classified as current, which were$6.8 million and$7.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. Amounts estimated to be recoverable in more than 12 months are classified as long-term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were$8.5 million and$8.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an increase of$265 thousand and a reduction of $128 thousand to the provision for content advances, respectively.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following(in thousands):
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| June 30,2026 | March 31,2026 | |
| Accrued acquisition related liabilities | $9,203 | $14,912 |
| Accounts payable | 15,961 | 7,324 |

Revenue Recognition
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.
The following tables present the Company’s disaggregated revenue by source (in thousands):
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Advertising technology and services | $15,949 | $— |
| Streaming and digital | 9,748 | 9,104 |
| Media services | 3,481 | — |
| Podcast and other | 1,097 | 989 |
| Base distribution | 320 | 1,024 |
| Other non-recurring | — | 2 |
| Total Revenue | $30,595 | $11,119 |
Advertising technology revenue is derived from two principal revenue streams: Ad Network revenue and Ad Serving revenue. Ad Network revenue is earned through advertising campaigns. Ad serving software represents instances where clients use the Company’s system as a technology platform for managing and delivering their advertising content across designated media channels.
Streaming and digital revenue pertains to the Company's OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Certain revenue recognition estimates may be required for this source at the end of a reporting period when we are not contractually entitled to receive final performance reporting from our partners for an extended period of time.
Media services revenue is derived from quality control, packaging, and localization work performed on behalf of studios for platform distribution.
Podcast and other revenue represents advertising fees earned in support of the Company's podcast programming.
Base distribution revenue is generated by the Company's physical revenue streams and related supply chain revenue, as well as theatrical revenue. The Company also has contracts for the theatrical distribution of third-party feature movies and alternative content. Distribution fee revenue and participation in box office receipts are recognized at the time a feature movie and alternative content are viewed.
Fees for the distribution of content in the home entertainment markets via several distribution channels, including digital, video on demand (“VOD” or "Streaming and Digital”), and physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) (“Base Distribution”). Fees earned are typically a percentage of the net amounts received from our customers.
Depending upon the nature of the agreements with the platform and content providers, the fee rate that we earn varies. Fees from Ad-Network revenue are based on an agreed-to cost per mille (“CPM”) rate, and fees for Media Services are typically specified in purchase orders based on the services requested to be rendered.
The Company’s performance obligations include the shipment of physical goods and delivery of content for transactional, subscription and ad supported/free ad-supported streaming TV (“FAST”) on the digital platforms, delivery of advertising related impressions, and at the time of completion of media services.
Revenue is recognized at the point in time across the Company’s revenue streams. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the content is available for subscription on the digital platform (the Company’s digital content is considered functional IP), at the time of shipment for physical goods, or point-of-sale for transactional and VOD services as the control over the content or the physical title is transferred to the customer. The Company considers the delivery of content through various distribution channels to be a single performance obligation. Ad Network transactions are recognized at the point in time when the billable impression is delivered. Media services are recognized at the point of delivery.
Base Distribution Revenue from the sale of physical goods is recognized after deducting the reserves for sales returns and other allowances, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Reserves for potential sales returns and other allowances are recorded based upon historical experience. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required. We have the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third-party feature movies’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.
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. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.
Principal Agent Considerations
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 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.
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. Deferred revenue includes amounts related to advances, the sale of DVDs or theatrical releases with future release dates. The ending deferred revenue balance, all current as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 totaled to approximately$0.1 million.
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 months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, asingle customer represented 43% and 27% of revenues, respectively.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating costs consist of operating costs such as cost of revenue, including fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty and participation expenses, allowance against advances, ad-network revenue share, 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 and performance stock units. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations 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 and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and stock appreciation rights 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.
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 recorded unrecognizedtax benefits of approximately $54,000 as of June 30, 2026, related to potential state income tax liabilities arising from non-filing positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

- Loss per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Common Stock holders, adjusted for by the deemed earnings attributable to participating common warrant holders, by 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 Stock holders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include restricted stock units, stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, and are calculated 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 Stock holders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:

- INCOME TAXES
We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions. We recognized income tax expense of $19 thousand and $14 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing as well as state income taxes in the U.S.
We have recorded income tax expense of $19 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 related to U.S. state and foreign income taxes. We have not recorded tax benefits on our U.S. deferred tax assets because we continue to provide a valuation allowance for all our U.S. net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026 as it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered based on an insufficient history of earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was December 31, 2025 was (0.3)% and (0.4)%, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”; Pub. L. 119-21) into law. The Act introduced significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code.
