Cineverse Corp. (Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp.) 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, dated April 19, 2012, serves to recast financial information previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The revision reclassifies the Unique Screen Media (USM) and Digital Media Services (DMS) businesses as discontinued operations following their sale in September and November 2011, respectively.
Key Financial Metrics and Reclassifications
The filing details significant adjustments to historical financial data for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, reflecting the removal of discontinued operations:
- Consolidated Revenue: Reduced by approximately $21.5 million for 2011 (from $79.9 million to $58.4 million) and $18.6 million for 2010 (from $69.0 million to $50.5 million).
- Net Loss from Continuing Operations: Reduced by approximately $4.8 million for 2011 (from a loss of $26.4 million to $21.6 million) and $5.2 million for 2010 (from a loss of $28.5 million to $23.3 million).

The filing text does not provide specific values for current cash flow, debt levels, or liquidity ratios for the reporting period.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the retrospective adjustment of financial statements to exclude the results of USM and DMS. This reclassification significantly alters the reported revenue and loss figures for both fiscal years 2011 and 2010, presenting a clearer picture of the Company's continuing operations.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management notes that no other information in the Form 10-K has been updated for events occurring after its original filing. Investors are directed to subsequent Quarterly Reports (Form 10-Q) and Current Reports (Form 8-K) for developments post-March 31, 2011. The filing emphasizes that the reclassified data should be read in conjunction with the original Form 10-K and subsequent filings.
